Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 24 Xianjiu Plays Games

After returning home, Xianjiu, as usual, went to watch the game with cat treats in her mouth.

Several cat treats floated around Xian Jiu. While watching the game, he would also use his telekinesis to control the cat treats so they wouldn't fall. When Xian Jiu wanted to eat a particular cat treat, he would use his telekinesis to make it float to her mouth.

Gu Ling felt a pang of guilt for a second when she saw Xian Jiu practicing her skills even while watching the competition at home.

So Gu Ling took out her phone and typed in a WeChat group: "What are some ways to relax?"

A reply came quickly after the message was sent:

Long Yifei: Relax? Let's go have a big meal!

Dai Hao: You can go play some games or watch some movies.

Lu Jiuwen: ...Tourism?

Having a big meal or going on a trip are both bad ideas. One might lower Xianjiu's fighting spirit, and the other might waste training time.

The most important point is that it all costs money.

So, ignoring the messages from Long Yifei and Lu Jiuwen, Gu Ling specifically tagged Dai Hao: "Any game or movie recommendations?"

Dai Hao: These two games are among the most popular mobile games right now: Elf Glory and Elf Survival. [Link][Link]

Dai Hao: I think the three movies that have been released recently are all pretty good: *The Great Detective*, *The Snow Elf's Adventure*, and *Legend of the God-Level Elf*.

Gu Ling took a screenshot, sent Dai Hao a "Thank you cat" emoji, and then went online to learn about the two mobile games.

Not only can it be entertaining and relaxing, it can also effectively help you learn and memorize the characteristics, skills, and attribute advantages of various pets... cough cough... no! That's not the point!

These two games are pretty good!

You can let Xianjiu try it out.

Gu Ling thought that Xian Jiu's little paws should also be able to control the game buttons.

So, Gu Ling downloaded the two mobile games on her phone and played them herself. She felt that the gameplay was similar to some popular mobile games from her previous life.

After understanding the game rules, Gu Ling exited the game and waved her phone, with the game interface open, in front of Xian Jiu: "Xian Jiu, want to play a game?"

Xian Jiu blinked her cat-like eyes in confusion: "Meow?" What game?

So, Gu Ling explained the game rules to Xian Jiu for a few minutes.

The simplest way to play is the free-for-all team match: each side (red and blue) has 5 players. Before the match starts, players can freely choose their pets. The battlefield attributes are randomly matched, and it could be grass, water, desert, etc.

Xianjiu tried playing it out.

Because it was a new account, I was matched with teammates and opponents who were all beginners who didn't know how to play.

After a chaotic and frantic game, Xian Jiu somehow managed to win.

——Victory!

"Meow~"

Looking at the flashy victory effects on the screen, Xianjiu suddenly developed a liking for the feeling of winning games and excitedly started another round.

After three consecutive victories, Xianjiu was completely captivated by the game's charm.

The game "Sword and Fairy 9" started another chaotic battle, this time the random battleground was on the ice.

In the game, Xianjiu's pet character is still "Thunder Seal Cat". At the beginning, Xianjiu's side had a relatively advantageous position.

However, there was a Ground-type Pokémon that countered Thunder Cat, and it was quite large, blocking the way. All of Thunder Cat's Electric-type moves had little effect on the Ground-type Pokémon, almost like tickling it.

Seeing that Xian Jiu was fighting somewhat frantically, Gu Ling reminded him, "Xian Jiu, use your Thunder Strike move on the ice to break the ice layer."

Upon hearing the Beast Tamer's command, Xian Jiu instinctively followed it.

In the game interface, Lei Yin Cat fired a [Thunder] at the enemy's location on the ice, and the ice immediately cracked.

The enemy team didn't have any water-type pets, so they all got soaked after falling into the water.

"Senjiu, use 100,000 volts on the water again."

A single [100,000 Volts] strikes the water's surface, and because water conducts electricity, all the pets in the water are electrocuted! Even the ground-type pet loses a significant amount of health.

The effect is outstanding!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xianjiu's team continued their attack and won the match decisively.

After the match, Gu Ling subconsciously summarized: "Xian Jiu, Ground type is super effective against Electric type. Under normal circumstances, Electric type skills are not very effective against Ground type pets. However, in the situation just now, the battlefield was on ice with water underneath. Electric type skills are twice as powerful in water."

Xian Jiu nodded: "Meow!"

Who knew you could train while playing games!

As expected of a beast tamer!

I understand now, this must be the beast tamer's painstaking effort!

The Beastmaster wants me to not only be able to rest and relax, but also to train without wasting time!

However, this time, Xianjiu really misunderstood.

Almost all the popular mobile games on the market are related to pets. Gu Ling let Xian Jiu play games because she really wanted Xian Jiu to relax.

As for studying, that's secondary.

……

After watching Xian Jiu play for a while, Gu Ling got up, took some fruit from the refrigerator, washed it, cut it into pieces, and arranged it on a plate.

When Gu Ling brought the fruit platter into the living room, she saw Xian Jiu fuming, meowing into her phone as if she were cursing.

"Meow meow!"

Gu Ling walked over and was immediately surprised.

Xianjiu actually got into an argument with her teammates in the game?

The teammate arguing with Xianjiu was a guy. He used both voice and text to spew out all sorts of vulgarities. The other teammates couldn't stand it and tried to say a few words of advice, but they couldn't stop him.

"***What the hell are you doing, gathering Ganoderma lucidum in the jungle? Don't you know how to gank? If you don't, don't lock onto the jungler! You useless dog!"

"Did your mother throw you away and raise the placenta instead? You're so useless!"

"Have you lost your mind? Go find a factory job!"

"***Elementary school kid, go play against bots!"

Xianjiu didn't know where to turn on voice chat to argue with people, and she couldn't type at all, so she could only be bombarded with insults by her teammates, leaving her feeling angry and helpless.

"Meow~"

Xian Jiu's eyes were red from being scolded. She looked up at her Beastmaster, pointed at the phone with her little paws, then at herself, with a pitiful expression.

Beastmaster, oh dear~

A bad person curses a cat.

Gu Ling felt a pang of tenderness and heartache for Xian Jiu, so she reached out and patted Xian Jiu's head, comforting her, "Xian Jiu, don't be angry, I'll help you scold back."

Gu Ling picked up the phone and found that Xian Jiu had opened a different tower-pushing game mode. She then looked through the chat history and saw that several other teammates had sent retreat messages several times, but the marksman still died so many times. It was obvious whose fault it was.

Gu Ling then checked the battle record and economy.

The enemy team got more kills, mainly because their marksman got caught and killed too many times, which fed the enemy jungler.

My economy as a jungler is decent, but not very high.

So, while controlling the Thunder Cat in the game to farm monsters and level up, Gu Ling used voice chat to say, "How many times have I sent you the retreat signal? How many times have I reminded you that the enemy is coming?"

"The difference between you and a lowly soldier is that you can type and bark wildly. If I throw a handful of rice on my phone, even a rooster's movement will be better than yours."

Upon hearing a female voice, the archer hesitated for a moment, then began cursing again: "Damn! It's a woman!"
