Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 451 Pet Talk (Subscribe~)

Zuoemon left Su Ming and followed Dali on the way back to the tribe.

After the contract was released, its aura surged and it possessed the strength of a dark gold BOSS. Its health increased by dozens of times, and its attack and defense powers also increased by 5 or 6 times.

However, for NPCs, the increase in data is not noticeable, and Zuoemon still feels the same as when he is with Su Ming.

What can be felt is that after leaving Su Ming, without the special effect shielding, the sharpness of the two epic swords in Zuoemon's hands could no longer be suppressed.

These two swords were already very lethal, but now without the special effects to hide them, their murderous intent was fully exposed, which frightened Dali. He pretended to be calm and asked:
"Were these two weapons given to you by that human?"

"Yes." Zuoemon answered respectfully. After leaving Su Ming, Dali was both his father and his master. From now on, he would not act like a petty person in front of Dali like he did before.

"He treats you well." Dali said, and then he quickened his pace without saying anything. At this time, he began to question himself, would he ruin his son's future by lying like this? Judging from the aura that erupted from Zuoemon, he might be the strongest wild boar man in the entire Espine region.

Dali moved forward quickly in confusion and entered the tribe. In addition to the boar men, there were several players who had completed quests here. They were all surprised to see Zuoemon.

"Isn't this Boss Spore's pet? How did it become an NPC?"

"The sword in its hand is so cool, with epic light effects. Can I swipe it?"

"Instead of brushing it, why not call someone to catch it?"

"NPCs can't be captured, right?"

"It seems that only 'humans' cannot be captured. Orcs can be captured, but some people say that it is not allowed. I am not sure. It is not a bad idea to give it a try. Go and call for help."

In Esbine, there are indeed examples of orcs being captured, and there are also examples where it is indicated that they cannot be captured. The main difference lies in whether the captured orcs can turn back into wild beasts. If Saemon can turn back into a wild boar, he can be captured. If he is like Uniko, who can only maintain the orc form, he cannot be captured.

Although Zuoemon heard the discussion of these players, he ignored them. For an NPC like it with high AI, the effect of the taming skill would be greatly reduced. It couldn't just catch it whenever it wanted. Of course, if it was willing, the effect of the taming skill would be greatly enhanced.

Following Dali into a two-story stone house, Saemon asked:

"Father, when do we start sword training?"

"More haste, less speed," Dali said, "help me clean up my room first."

"Yes."

After cleaning the room, Dali went to deal with other affairs. During this period, Zuoemon kept following him. When players came to harass Zuoemon, the wild boar people of the Dali tribe would come out together to drive them away.

Soon it was noon, and Zuoemon asked Dali tirelessly:
"Father, can you start teaching me now?"

Dali looked at the position of the sun and thought he could not delay any longer, so he said:

"You come with me."

Saemon followed Dali excitedly and returned to his home courtyard. Dali brought a wooden man and threw a wooden sword to Saemon, saying:
"A true swordsman can exert great strength no matter what kind of weapon he holds. The two weapons you hold now are too powerful and will limit your growth. From now on, when you practice, you can only use this wooden sword."

"Yes." Zuoemon put the two epic swords aside and picked up the wooden sword.

Dali nodded and took a wooden sword himself. He turned his back to Saemon, took a deep breath, and said:

"Next, I will demonstrate it to you. You must watch carefully and remember it well."

"Yes."

Dali gripped the blade tightly, his arm muscles swelled, he shouted loudly, and suddenly moved his feet. With a simple downward chop, he cut the wooden man, then he used the tiger's mouth as a scabbard and slowly put the sword back.

Dali turned around and asked Zuoemon:
"Understood?"

Zuoemon frowned and shook his head.

"So what did you find out?" Dali asked.

"An ordinary downward strike."

Dali also shook his head, patted Zuoemon on the shoulder, and said:
"Take good care of it. Just keep practicing the move I just made. When you feel you have mastered it, I will teach you the next move."

After saying that, Dali returned home with his sword on his back and went to make lunch.

Zuoemon was left alone in the courtyard, recalling Dali's actions just now and began to imitate them with half belief and half doubt.

With one sword after another, Zuoemon always felt that this was just an ordinary downward slash, without any special flavor, and even... his father's step movement and muscle strength skills were not as good as it.

Is that kind of force and movement the correct one?

Zuoemon began to change himself, and the sound of wood colliding in the courtyard lasted from noon to night.

Dali stood by the window and watched as Zuoemon changed from using techniques to exert force at the beginning to using brute force to learn it...

Dali covered his head in pain and slid down the wall, muttering:

"As a father, what am I doing? Not only did I take it away from the humans who could help it, but I also taught it the wrong things. It's practicing so hard. What am I doing...

No, I can't let my son be ruined like this, I have to confess to it."

Dali walked to the gate of the courtyard and hesitated again. The change in Saemon's attitude today really made him feel the feeling of being a father. He was a little reluctant to leave Saemon...

If it told Saemon now that it was not strong at all and was just fooling it this morning, Saemon would definitely leave it.

It had already disappointed Zuoemon once, not long after Zuoemon was born. Was it going to disappoint him again now?

Dali paced in the room, very distressed. He drank some wine, returned to his room, took down the two black blades hanging on the wall, and stared at the two black blades in a daze - there was something here that could make Zuoemon stronger.

Dali stepped on a black blade and raised another one, his muscles tensed to the point of trembling - if he could cut it open, it would be able to help Zuoemon, but...

Thinking of what was sealed in these two swords, Dali hesitated again.

“Forget it!” Dali threw the black blade away and thought to himself, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I need to find that human and give this thing to him. I need someone to watch over it before I can give this dangerous thing to Saemon.”

Dali poured the wine into his mouth, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. His snoring was so loud that even Zuoemon who was practicing sword in the yard could hear it.

Saemon glanced toward the lighted room, then looked at the cracked wooden sword in his hand and shook his head.

"It's just an ordinary downward strike. My father is lying to me." Zaemon is not a fool. He has imagined all the possible scenarios for this downward strike, but in the end he came to the conclusion that it was still an ordinary downward strike. So it is just an ordinary downward strike.

Saemon was still very confident in his judgment of swordsmanship. If it weren't for the fact that Dali was his father and the strong figure in his memory, he would not have practiced for a whole day knowing that it was wrong.

Kaka.

Outside the wall, there was the sound of sand and gravel.

Zuoemon sneered and thought: Here we go again.

Today, when it was practicing swordplay, several groups of animal tamer players came, avoided the guards of the Dali tribe, and came into the tribe with the help of stealth items, trying to capture it, but they were all chopped back by it.

Saemon picked up the sword placed at the door, and with both swords in hand, he stared at the dark wall.

A blurry figure flipped over and Zuoemon rushed out.

Blade tooth!

Scold!

Zuoemon was forced to turn around, and with a gleam in his eyes, he released himself from the control and swung his sword back.

"Stupid pig!" Xiao Hei hit Zuoemon on the head, knocking him unconscious. He squeaked, "You can't recognize your master after just a short while?"

Zuoemon was no longer Su Ming's pet, so he couldn't understand the slime language, but he still recognized Xiao Hei's voice. He came to his senses and saw Su Ming's familiar figure. He put away his sword and said awkwardly:
"Sorry Master, there are a lot of annoying flies today."

"It's okay, it's okay. I know everything." Su Ming also saw some news about Zuoemon on the forum. He was worried that Zuoemon was kidnapped, so he mobilized members of the "Miracle Wilderness" to stop people from booking the area near the Dali tribe. Without these people's help, Zuoemon would be harassed much more than he is now. After all, he is a famous pet.

Su Ming asked:

"How was your study today?"

Zuoemon shook his head and said in distress:
“I felt like my father was a fraud.”

Then, Zuoemon told Su Ming how he felt today. In order to save Dali's face, Zuoemon added:

"It's also possible that my father's swordsmanship is not suitable for me. Anyway, I don't want to learn it."

"It's probably not that your father's swordsmanship is not suitable for you. Just as you think, Dali may not be strong."

"But today it defeated the desert beast so easily..."

"That's a mirage." Su Ming said.

Zuoemon opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Su Ming touched Zuoemon's head, squatted down, looked up at Zuoemon and said:

"Let's go say goodbye to your father now. You come back to me and we'll find other ways to become stronger together."

Zuoemon shook his head and said:
"I...I don't want to go back to you, Master. Please find another pet."

Su Ming was surprised and asked in a panic:
"what happened?"

"After I left my master, I realized how much resources he had invested in me... If these resources were given to Dandan or Xiaohei, or other pets with higher talents, they would be much stronger than me..."

Before Zuoemon could finish his words, he was knocked to the ground by the angry Xiaohei. Xiaohei kept squeaking on Zuoemon's head, this time using the insect language that they both learned:

"Stupid pig, how can you say something that makes your master sad? Are you really a fool? As a pet, you just need to protect your master. The master trains us, no matter how much money and effort he spends, it is his business. Why do you worry about it?

Now the master invites you back, and you dare to refuse. This is different from what we said. I will beat you to death! ! "

Xiao Hei kept jumping on Zuoemon's head, so hard that the floor cracked. Su Ming quickly held Xiao Hei in his arms, but Xiao Hei still kept rushing out and said to Su Ming:

"Master, don't worry about me. I'm going to kill this stupid pig today! We've been adventuring together for so long, but he wants to leave just for such a ridiculous reason! Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"Stop messing around!" Su Ming shook Xiao Hei hard and became serious. Xiao Hei puffed up his body, buried his head in Su Ming's chest, and stopped looking at Zuoemon.

Su Ming sighed, walked towards Zuoemon, pulled it up, and said:

"What Xiao Hei said is right. How much I am willing to invest in you is my own business. When I became a trainer, Instructor Rhodes told me that the most important thing for a trainer is to listen.

Just like Xiao Hei is willing to protect me with his life, I am willing to protect Xiao Hei with my life; Xiao Jin needs to eat gems every day, so I eat gems; Eggs need more experience to complete hatching, so I give them more experience. Just like I heard your voice that you want to become stronger, so I will help you regardless of the cost.

I will be very happy as long as I see you achieve your goals with my help. If you really feel like Hammer, and think that leaving me can help you better, then I will agree. But if not, then come back to me, and let us work together and grow together, okay? "

"I'm... I'm sorry, Master." Zuoemon lowered his head, then touched Xiao Hei and said, "Xiao Hei is also sorry... I was wrong, I am willing to return to Master and continue to help Master."

"Hehe." Su Ming patted Zuoemon's big head and said with a smile: "Good boy, don't let your imagination run wild in the future. Let's go find your dad and explain everything to him."

"kindness."

Su Ming and Zuoemon walked into Dali's room and called out to him, but Dali was snoring so loudly that he couldn't be woken up. Su Ming had no choice but to leave and agreed with Zuoemon to come back tomorrow.

Although Dali was sleeping very soundly, when Su Ming and Zuoemon called him, he knew he was awake. He was just pretending to be asleep. He was reluctant to leave Zuoemon and hoped that his son could stay with him for another night.

----

Su Ming used the "invisibility cloak" borrowed from Zui Mingyue to leave the Dali tribe and walked on the stone road leading to the sandstorm element territory. Xiao Hei stayed above Su Ming's head, constantly muttering bad things about Zuoemon. After venting his anger, he said to Su Ming:
"Master, you just said something wrong."

"What?"

"It's because you, Master, are willing to protect me with your life that I am willing to protect you with my life." Xiao Hei said, "The order cannot be changed."

Su Ming smiled and said:

"That's not important."

"very important."

"It doesn't matter, because we are now inseparable."

"Stinky... stinky master, you say such disgusting words." Xiao Hei's elastic body was softened by Su Ming's words. He shyly lay on Su Ming's head without saying a word.

Dandan flew in front of Su Ming, flying backwards, showing a cute smile and said:
"Master, Master, Dandan wants gold coins, lots and lots of gold coins. Master is so kind to us, you will definitely agree, right?"

After saying that, Dandan stretched out his two little paws and placed them in front of him, one up and one down, one up and one down.

Su Ming scratched Dandan's chin and said with a smile:
"You are the only one who is worrying. If you want gold coins, you can, but you have to listen to a story I tell you first."

"what story?"

Su Ming told Dandan the story of "Afanti playing chess with the king". After finishing, Su Ming said:
"Now, I'll give you two choices. One is that I'll give you 10 gold coins as pocket money every month, or I'll give you 20 gold coins on the first day of every month, 30 gold coins on the second day, and gold coins on the third day, and so on until the end of the month. Which one do you choose?"

Dandan's eyes lit up and he answered without hesitation:
"Of course I choose the second one!"

Su Ming smiled with relief. Dandan was just as his mother had worried, not very smart...

Su Ming touched Dandan's head, took out ten gold coins and put them in Dandan's paws and said:
"Here, this is the first day of the month, you have to remember it."

"Well, thank you master, I will remember it~" Dandan flew to a high place, put the gold coins back into the backpack, stretched out his little paws and began to calculate how many gold coins he could get in the end. However, the number was too large and his paws were not enough, so he could not calculate it for the time being.

When it figures it out, it will find something wrong. In the story, Afanti used multiplication, while Su Ming used addition. The most he could give Dandan was only 4960 gold coins in a month...
