Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 125 Yang Guo in His Complete Form

After returning to the base, Cha Nan did not immediately transport a large number of bred bomb birds back to the martial arts world. Instead, she built another breeding ranch, running the two breeding ranches in parallel. Of course, the number of incubators was also increased to two.

One of the breeding ranches is specifically used to test different combinations of mythical beasts, to see what they can produce, and to record the results so that they can be directly used when needed in the future.

The other breeding ranch also breeds Yunhai deer. Cha Nan plans to make Yunhai deer his flagship product after his Huan**YiXing business opens.

Because the basic demand for this kind of mythical beast is high in any world, and the Cloud Deer is an excellent mount with outstanding speed and jumping ability, but its attack power is only average.

This would prevent the awkward situation where the magical beasts that Cha Nan sells one day turn around and cause him a lot of trouble.

Of course, the Yunhai deer he sold at that time were all male deer! And they were all cut up, so even if someone wanted to breed ordinary deer with Yunhai deer to create hybrid offspring, it would be impossible.

As for the deer given to Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Qi Shaoshang before, there's no need to worry too much about them. Only Huang Rong's deer was a female. Once we breed better Cloud Sea Deer, we can give Huang Rong a replacement.

While the breeding ranch and incubator were operating at full capacity, Cha Nan also had Cheng Ying, Fang Dongbai, and others constantly train him at the stronghold to increase his combat skills.

As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect," and "Music is always on your lips." No true master comes from working in isolation. Especially after the gate to the realm opens, the legendary stories of those with deep blessings who receive the transmission of skills from masters and become invincible can come to an end.

Because the limit has been increased!
People like Yang Guo and Guo Jing would not be as strong as they are now if they were still confined to their original world. Even though Guo Jing himself has never left the boundary gate and traveled to other worlds, he has always received information that does not belong to the current world and has occasionally acquired some different resources.

These can all help him break free from his original shackles and rise to a higher level.

After all, for the vast majority of people, practicing martial arts is a process of countless days and nights of painstaking effort, and then, when they are just one step away from mastering it, they receive some rare help, kick open the barrier, and enter a whole new world.

Those who are fed with massive resources from the very beginning and who get all the opportunities and benefits are the very few.

Cha Nan trained for another half month. Even with Guo Fu by his side and Cheng Ying and others chatting to relieve his boredom, Cha Nan felt that he could no longer stay in the fantasy world. After transferring the bomb bird, he returned to the martial arts world.

"Once we have enough tech points, we must unlock more building modules, find a place facing the sea, where spring is warm and flowers bloom, and build a beautiful manor!" Cha Nan said to Guo Fu, but in reality, she was still a little reluctant to part with the money.

Just before leaving, he spent tech points to unlock the simple Palu bed and the hot spring, which were not originally in his plans, but he had to unlock them.

Without beds or hot springs, the SAN values ​​of the Palus working at the base are dropping rapidly, and many of their mythical beasts have fallen ill and can only return to the base space for long-term recuperation.

He was fine while he was at the base. If any of the magical beasts got sick, he would send them back and replace them with a similar one so he could continue working.

But once he left the world of magical beasts, there was no one to replace these sick magical beasts, so they could only stay there, occupying a work slot for nothing.

If this continued, it would seriously hinder work and base construction, so with no other choice, Cha Nan could only invest a limited number of technology points to build enough beds and hot spring pools for the magical beasts to ensure their work enthusiasm.

In Huang Rong's study where she was handling official business, Cha Nan found her and solemnly introduced her to the local new member... Bomb Bird. He then led Huang Rong to an open space and demonstrated the Bomb Bird's abilities to her.

Watching the bomb birds drop their eggs from mid-air, creating deep craters on the ground, Huang Rong clearly showed delight, then fell into deep thought.

“I introduced these birds to you, Aunt Guo, because I thought you were the most suitable person to arrange them to the best attack positions, and you could also decide the specific timing of their deployment!” Cha Nan relinquished the initiative, not because he lacked confidence, but because everyone has their own expertise.

He lacked tactical thinking and did not know how to deploy troops on the battlefield. In fact, although the last Mianyouyou Uprising played a crucial role in driving away the Mongol soldiers, it did not achieve its full potential.

Success is half due to human effort and half due to chance.

After all, sheep hold certain additional value in the eyes of many Mongolians.

However, such psychological stimulation can only be used once. The grassland people value sheep, but they are not afraid of them. Those who regard sheep as devils are the ocean sailors during the Age of Exploration. After all, on ships, sheep have other uses besides being raised for meat, and they really attract people to degenerate.

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong snapped out of her reverie, nodded, and smiled, "I won't stand on ceremony with you. Thank you for your help. With these bomb birds, we are much more confident in defending the city."

Cha Nan then took out a newly acquired Grass-type skill fruit and handed it to Huang Rong.

"This is what I promised Master Jellyfish to leave for you, Aunt Guo!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong immediately felt a little embarrassed and glared at Cha Nan, saying, "I don't need it... You can give it to Guo'er!"

At this point, she sighed again and solemnly said to Cha Nan, "Although we already owe you enough, we still have to shamelessly ask you to give this fruit to Guo'er, after all..."

Before Huang Rong could finish speaking, Cha Nan interrupted, "Since that's the case, then I don't need to worry about it anymore! Actually, I also wanted to give it to Brother Yang! But Master Jellyfish gave me instructions first, and I can't pretend I didn't hear them."

“Brother Yang’s arm injury was Fu’er’s fault. Now that I’m with Fu’er, it’s only right that I apologize to Brother Yang on her behalf.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong nodded, her gaze towards Cha Nan filled with even greater satisfaction.

Cha Nan now seems much more composed to her than at first, and he's more in line with her ideal son-in-law. This is actually normal. Cha Nan's initial aggression stemmed from not truly integrating into the group; he saw everyone as an NPC, while he approached many things with a player's mindset. After all, his very existence and his special abilities prevented him from immediately empathizing with everything around him.

But as time went by, their feelings for each other deepened, and that sense of detachment gradually faded. They became less unfamiliar with each other and more connected, which brought them different feelings.

Interpersonal relationships are all like this, even between lovers, classmates, teachers and students, or even fathers and sons. It is all a process of gradually adapting to each other and deepening feelings.

Perhaps the only pair that doesn't require time to adapt is the mother and child, because they have been connected from the very beginning and were originally meant to be one.

After bidding farewell to Huang Rong, Cha Nan, carrying the Grass-type Skill Fruit, found Yang Guo, who was practicing alone.

He wasn't actually very comfortable being with the Guo family.

This feeling of unease and discomfort had been with him ever since he first arrived on Peach Blossom Island.

Awkward yet sincere, wanting to get close yet pushing away, Yang Guo has always been like this. Only someone as naive as Xiaolongnu could directly bypass his inferiority and arrogance and touch his heart.

But with the Battle of Xiangyang imminent, he couldn't just leave like that, so he hid in a corner and pretended not to exist.

Cha Nan found him by flying up in the sky with the Swift Falcon and communicating with the giant eagle.

"Brother Yang! Your martial arts skills are already so high, yet you still work so hard. Are you making it impossible for others to live?" Cha Nan said with a smile when she saw Yang Guo.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo looked Cha Nan up and down, then smiled slightly and said, "Your martial arts have improved quite a bit. It seems you've been working very hard lately!"

Yang Guo had also signed a contract with Cha Nan and had entered the world of magical beasts. He knew how amazing the world of magical beasts was, so he was not surprised that Cha Nan's martial arts had improved so much in just a short time.

"How...how did you figure that out?" Cha Nan asked in surprise, she had never heard of Yang Guo having any ability to read auras!
Yang Guo said, "You can tell whether a person's martial arts have made great progress from their eyes, their steps, and the energy and spirit they exude. Once you've seen many masters, you'll naturally be able to sense it clearly."

"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

"There's no need for me to teach you martial arts again. You can't bite off more than you can chew. I used to be like you, learning a little bit of everything, but when it came to actually using it, I was always a little lacking. Until later..." Yang Guo shook his head and didn't continue.

His first half of life was filled with too many regrets, and he wanted to make up for them, but time was too fast to stop him.

Even though the gate to the boundary has the ability to travel through time and space, it also has its own rules: only one individual of the same position can exist in the same world.

In other words, Yang Guo can travel to all the heavens and myriad worlds, but he can never reach the time and space of the early days of The Return of the Condor Heroes through the interdimensional gate to make up for his regrets.

This is also the most ruthless aspect of the Boundary Gate; it gives people boundless hope, yet buries the deepest despair at the bottom of its chest.

Of course, ten years have passed, and there are still people who believe that after traversing many worlds, they will eventually have the opportunity to return to the past.

"No! Aunt Guo asked me to bring this to you!" Cha Nan showed off the Grass-type skill fruit, while also doing Huang Rong a favor.

He knew that Huang Rong had always felt a deep sense of guilt towards Yang Guo, believing that Yang Guo's lifelong misery was all due to her past suspicion and defensiveness.

After all, children are often confused and don't really understand good and evil. Yang Guo wasn't familiar with Da Wu, Xiao Wu, and Guo Fu, and they were in separate classes, so they couldn't deepen their relationship. It was highly likely that the other three would gang up on Yang Guo, which led to Yang Guo's subsequent retaliation, causing trouble and being sent off Peach Blossom Island.

If they eat, live, and study together from the beginning, even if there are some conflicts at first, the constraints of adults will prevent them from becoming more intense. As time goes by and they develop feelings for each other, the initial conflicts will dissipate.

At that time, Yang Guo truly integrated into Peach Blossom Island, and there would be no more wandering and hardship afterward.

Yang Guo listened to Cha Nan's words and simply nodded without saying anything, looking at the fruit in Cha Nan's hand with a puzzled expression.

"This can help your severed limbs regenerate!"

"Qi Shaoshang, Hero Qi, you've met Brother Yang before, haven't you? He was just like you before, but after eating this, a new arm grew. Although he can't exert too much force now, as long as his meridians are opened and he practices more, it will be just like the original arm that grew, without any discomfort."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo's previously indifferent expression froze instantly, and then he looked at the fruit in Cha Nan's hand with a burning gaze mixed with a hint of doubt and fear!

"How is it? Do you want to eat?" Cha Nan couldn't fully empathize with Yang Guo's feelings at this moment, but he could guess a bit about them.

When people face a hope that seems hopeless, they are generally like this: the expectation is real, but the fear is not!

"Yes!" Yang Guo snatched the fruit and took a big bite!
Whether the hope is real or not, he will try!
He never lacked the courage to try.
