Chapter 244: Snacks
“Back then, when you personally made a move, I, Vice-Captain Barnard, the three King-tier Beast Masters, and almost all the members of our Emergency Response Team’s Special Operations Team, who were all at the Star Glory-tier, mobilized our high-end combat strength from the Southwest Military Department and went through a lot of trouble to s.n.a.t.c.h that Fierce Beast egg.”
Bania blew out a smoke ring and said slowly, “Thirty years have pa.s.sed in a flash, and we still haven’t found a master for that pet beast. We went through so much trouble. It’s impossible for us to s.n.a.t.c.h a Fierce Beast egg just to use it as a decoration, right?”
Paul said seriously, “Not everyone can control that kind of Fierce Beast.”
“But I think that kid Lugh should be able to do it.” Bania patted the table lightly, “He’s not even twenty years old yet, a Top-tier Gold Beast Master who has touched the Platinum-tier threshold and has the ability to kill a Top-tier Platinum expert. If he doesn’t have the qualifications to raise it, no one in the Southwest has the qualifications.”
“Lugh is much more outstanding than when I was young. If it was General, we wouldn’t have any objections if you signed that Divine Beast. But if you don’t sign it, you shouldn’t leave it to eat dust.”
Paul slowly opened his eyes and said, “I’ll think about it carefully.”
After the meeting ended, Bania left the military headquarters with Elisa.
“Captain Bania, the Fierce Beast egg you mentioned.”
“That’s top secret.”
“I can’t do it either?”
“Haha.” Bania nodded. “You really can’t do it. If General Paul makes a decision, you’ll know.”
“Is it that strong?”
“It’s very strong,” Bania said seriously. “At least, General Paul isn’t confident. Otherwise, he’ll use it himself.”
“Yes.” Elisa nodded.
“However, no matter how strong it is, if no one uses it, it means that it’s not. It’s a waste of resources,” Bania said. “Such a good thing, of course, should belong to our Emergency Response Team. Lugh did a good job on this mission. If he is stronger, he might be able to help us share more pressure. That way, I can sit in the office and read the newspaper and drink tea.”
…
Lugh did not know that because of him, the Southwest big shot Paul was now in distress.
He was lazy to stay at home for three days before he began to think about how to improve his pet’s talent.
After bringing the two followers of the Beast G.o.d Cult back to Skylight City, he completed a system mission.
He could improve any pet’s level one talent.
After glancing at the four pet’s talent, Lugh set his eyes on the Berserk Bear.
It was not that Lugh was biased, but the Berserk Bear was more important.
[Ding! Your Divine Pet Berserk Bear’s Peerless Spirit Resistance talent has been upgraded to Mythical-Tier.]
[Ding! Your Divine Pet Berserk Bear’s talent has been upgraded, and its growth potential has been increased, from Top-tier Emperor to Low-tier G.o.d.]
Hearing this system notification, Lugh was in a wonderful mood.
The third pet with G.o.d-tier potential felt great.
[Name: Berserk Bear]
[Talent: 1. Immortal Body (Myth); 2. Hate Ground No Loop (Myth), 3. Spirit Resistance (Myth), 4. Rage Burst (Rare), 5. Sensitive Sense of Smell (Peerless)]
[Growth Potential: G.o.d Low-Tier]
[Strength Level: Gold Top-Tier]
[Experience Points: … ]
[Attributes: Beast, Earth]
[Loyalty: 99]
[Skills: 1. Violent Bear’s Paw, 2. Frenzied a.s.sault, 3, Earth Wall, 4. Earth Armor, 5. Sky-Shaking Roar, 6. Sense of Smell Tracking, 7. Explosive Strength, 8. Earth-Shaking]
When he killed the Platinum-tier Beast G.o.d Cult’s black-robed man, Lugh had also killed the spirit-type pet that was attached to the black-robed man’s body.
By killing a Platinum-rank top-tier pet, the Berserk Bear had gained a huge amount of experience points.
However, Lugh discovered that it was becoming increasingly difficult to increase the Berserk Bear’s experience points.
If he wanted to level up quickly, he would still have to target Gold-rank and Platinum-rank Fierce Beasts.
Unfortunately, these Fierce Beasts were relatively rare.
If they were everywhere, humans would not be able to build a city at all.
Xu Xiaoxiao laid on the sofa and came back from school.
When she saw Lugh, she immediately put her bulging bag on the coffee table and took out an energy camera.
Lugh looked at the camera and asked curiously, “Is this new?”
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “My cla.s.smate gave it to me.”
“What cla.s.smate? Is it a boy or a girl?”
“A girl cla.s.smate,” Xu Xiaoxiao said casually. “A good friend I just met.”
Hearing that Xu Xiaoxiao had a friend in Skylight City, Lugh was quite happy.
“Why did she give you a camera?”
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Lugh, and that gaze made Lugh a little uncomfortable.
“Because of you, brother.”
“Me?” Lugh slowly sat up from the sofa.
“What does it have to do with me?”
Lugh did not think that he knew his sister’s cla.s.smate.
Every day, he would be at home, in the Emergency Response Team’s camp, or out on a mission.
How could he know Xu Xiaoxiao’s cla.s.smate?
“I told them that you’re my brother, and they fought to get your photo and autograph. They even tried their best to stuff me with gifts. They’re really too enthusiastic.”
Xu Xiaoxiao giggled and said, “Brother, I really didn’t expect so many girls in our cla.s.s to worship you.”
The top young prodigy Beast Master in the Southwest, Lugh’s fame had long spread throughout the entire Skylight City.
Xu Xiaoxiao unzipped her school bag, and a huge pile of snacks appeared.
Melon seeds, peanuts, pastries, honey… and even a few packets of spicy sticks.
What a guy.
There wasn’t a single book in Xu Xiaoxiao’s school bag.
“These are all gifts?”
“Yes, yes.” Xu Xiaoxiao raised her camera and waved it at Lugh. “Brother, come pose and smile.”
“No.”
Lugh immediately turned over and lay on the sofa.
It was impossible for him to take photos. He hated taking photos.
A dignified elite member of the Emergency Response Team, the top genius of the Southwest Region, selling his looks to exchange for snacks for his sister?
This was simply a huge joke.
“No, Brother.”
“Brother, be obedient.”
“Cla.s.smate Xu Xiaoxiao, I won’t give you a photo.”
“Brother, I’ll give you all of my snacks.”
“In short, it’s impossible.” Lugh shook his head very firmly. “The military ident.i.ty that your brother took in is confidential. It can not be revealed.”
It was impossible to take photos.
Selling one’s looks was against Lugh’s principles.
He could only use this method to get his sister to give up the idea of taking photos of him.
“Confidential? Reveal? Then why do they have a videotape of your compet.i.tion?”
“Hmm…”
He was exposed.
But since it was not made into a videotape, why was there no copyright fee?
Lugh felt that this problem was worth paying attention to!
“Brother, you lied to me.”
Xu Xiaoxiao immediately exposed Lugh’s lie.
The shutter clicked and Lugh gave in.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the photo and frowned. “I feel like something is missing?”
“It’s alright,” Lugh said lazily.
“Oh right, military uniform.” Xu Xiaoxiao jumped up from the sofa.
“Big Brother looks super handsome in military uniform.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
…
Half a day later, Lugh silently signed his name on the back of the photo.
The reward was half a bag of melon seeds.
Hehe.
After his vacation ended, Lugh returned to the emergency team.
After reporting to Elisa, Lugh’s mind was filled with what Elisa had told him.
She said that the 13 teams of the emergency team might be expanded this year.
If he could become a Platinum-tier Beast Master this year, with his combat strength, his contributions, and the importance that Captain Bania placed on him…
He would have the chance to become the Vice-Captain of the emergency team, or even the Captain.
Was the Captain of the emergency team powerful?
Of course, he was very powerful.
As long as he could become the Vice-Captain of the emergency team, or the Captain, his authority would directly surpa.s.s the Guardians of all the major cities in the Southwest, with the exception of Skylight City.
It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he could run amok in the Southwest.
However, no matter where he went, he would definitely be warmly received by the Guardians everywhere he went.
Apart from that, he could also obtain close to a hundred Gold-tier Beast Master subordinates.
Authority.
It was really very tempting even if Lugh’s desire for power wasn’t that great.
Without realizing it, Lugh had already gotten used to the life of the emergency team.
Perhaps it was because Lugh had just made a great contribution and rushed back from Nanyu City, but Elisa didn’t arrange any missions for him.
Lugh couldn’t just sit around and do nothing.
Beast Masters would always strive to become stronger.
Moreover, he wasn’t far from becoming a Platinum-tier Beast Master.
Riding on the Stormhawk, Lugh flew deep into Hepeng Valley. He ordered the Stormhawk to search for Gold-tier and Platinum-tier Fierce Beasts.
Other than the Berserk Bear, Lugh’s other pet beasts were all stuck at Gold-tier.
The upgrade of the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine could be delayed for a while. Right now, the most important things were the Stormhawk and the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly.
