Ch4 - What’s wrong, little Jun Lu?

Yu Xingqiao poked for a while and felt a little tired.

The wind wolf was in a similar condition. At first it was quite fast, but now it panted and panted, its pace slowing down a lot. 

This game is really weird; the monsters in the game also get tired?

Yu Xingqiao blinked. He also ignored the little black ball for the time being and studied the wind wolf carefully.

The modelling of this wind wolf was really great. Every detail of its body was impeccable, every strand of hair was so silky smooth, even the knots and dirt on it were very realistic.

If every NPC and even the monsters are made so delicately, then we can only say that this game is really awesome! 

“Gu Lu——”

 

Probably from extreme hunger, a weird grunt sounded from the wind wolf’s stomach. Suddenly, it lunged viciously——
Because Yu Xingqiao stopped, it finally pounced on the little black ball this time.

“Awoooooo!”

A bubble emerged from the top of its head, and one could see the excitement of the wind wolf.

 

Jun Lu, who had rolled dizzily, looked at the wind wolf opening its bloody mouth and biting towards himself, and he suddenly felt a little relief.

He stared at the wind wolf, planning on greeting death without fuss.

However, he did not get what he wanted.

How could Yu Xingqiao watch the little black ball be eaten? This time, he changed his strategy. 

The youth prodded the screen with his fingertip.

“Awoooooooo!”

The wind wolf didn’t manage to bite the little black ball. Instead, it fell down on the ground and scratched its face with its forelimb.

It howled out in pain —— 

It turned out that Yu Xingqiao had just poked the wind wolf’s eye, which was a vital point for animals. It immediately rolled all over the ground in pain.

At the same time, an Health bar appeared on the top of its head, and a [-1] damage value popped up.

Yu Xingqiao blinked. He just wanted to try it out, but it really worked! And although it didn’t do much damage, it still made it hurt like this.

This game is really too interesting! 

After rolling on the ground twice, the wind wolf tossed its head and stood up, its originally turquoise eyes were a little red and tears were seeping out.

It vigilantly looked around the cavern and found nothing unusual. It turned back to look at the little black ball again, drool dripping down along its teeth once more as if there was some top-notch delicacy before it.

 

In the end, greed and hunger prevailed, but this time, the wind wolf’s movements were obviously accelerated.

The wind suddenly picked up in the cavern, and the weeds in the corner shook furiously from the gust. The wind wolf turned into a white shadow and pounced towards Jun Lu, who was unable to move! 

“Awooooooooooo!!!”

However, halfway through the pounce, an even more miserable howl rang out.

Jun Lu saw the stupid wolf screaming in mid-air. Because the momentum was unstoppable, it went straight over him, hit the cavern wall with a thud, and slid to the ground.

The stupid wolf shook its head to get up, whimpered and wailed twice. Finally, its body lurched and fell to the ground with a bang—— It actually passed out. 

Jun Lu: “…….”

“Humph, lest you bully my family’s cub!”

After an instant burst of hand speed and vigorous tapping on the screen, Yu Xingqiao looked at the fallen and unconscious Wind Wolf and grunted somewhat smugly.

As a result, he saw a red exclamation mark appear on the top of the wind wolf’s head. 

Curiously, he clicked on it and found that the status column of the wind wolf had a prompt of “Currently fainted, can be contracted”.

“Contract? What does that mean?”

The system box came up.

[Congratulations on successfully unlocking the pet mode.] 

[Now you only need to spend 100 diamonds to unlock the pet bar, which will give you the initial pet grid x1, making the number of pets that can be contracted +1.]

[The pet can protect the cub, help the cub grow, and take care of the cub while the player is away. It is a necessary companion for household travels oh~]

[What are you waiting for? Quickly unlock the pet bar and contract the wind wolf as the cub’s pet!]

[1. Go recharge immediately] [2. Leave in pain]

It seems that the diamond …… is only one way to recharge, right?

[Are you sure you don’t want to unlock the pet grid?]

A box once again appeared in the middle of the game, and the font, which was originally quite soft and cute, turned into a sharper, more squarish font. 

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, “Yeah, unless it isn’t possible?”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want a pet grid, it’s that he felt a little uncomfortable with this little trick of using psychology to cheat kryptonite out of him.

[Yes.]

Then the system box began to disappear very, very slowly. 

It was like playing hard to get, waiting for the heartless man to recover. Finally, it found that the other party didn’t want to stay at all, so it cried and whined before disappearing.

Yu Xingqiao: ……

Ignoring the sudden drama of the system, his gaze fell back on the game screen.

The little black ball quietly stayed in place. 

Just now it was too hectic, now taking a closer look, one can find that in the silver moonlight’s contrast,  faint rays of light were scattering from its body.-

Peaceful, quiet, yet seemingly with a dangerous sense of oppression.

It was hard to imagine that this would be a small creature, and it was still so cute when it turned into human form.

It looks soft and squishy, I really want to squeeze it ah. 

Yu Xingqiao clicked on the avatar and roughly scanned the latest information.

The three major values of health, mana, and stamina have not recovered. The stamina and mana bar have directly bottomed out, relying on a trace of health to support, and also an additional serious injury gave him a slow health loss negative buff!

 

His family’s cub was too miserable!

Yu Xingqiao hastily tapped on the system mall and, without looking at other things, jumped directly to the medicine section. 

Cheat me, the medicines available were all liquids. If you wanted to buy more advanced ones, you needed to grow to a higher stage to unlock them.

Yu Xingqiao remembered that the growth column said the infant stage, so there should be form evolutions in the future. It may even need to rely on kryptonite or selling liver to grow. This was an old trick for this kind of game.

He spent 180 gold coins to buy four primary health potions, and directly tapped to use.

Only to see on the game screen, a small red bottle appears in front of the little black ball. 

Yu Xingqiao looked at it curiously.

The little Jun Lu in this form had no eyes and mouth at all, how was he going to eat?

He watched the black ball stay silent, obviously expressionless, but Yu Xingqiao felt that he looked a little dull, bewildered by the sudden appearance of the health potion.

Yu Xingqiao put the phone on top of a stand, and, holding his cheeks, patiently waited for his reaction. 

After a short while, the game screen finally had a slight change.

The small black ball’s shadow on the ground suddenly began to elongate slowly. The speed was really slow as if trying with all his might, only to move a very small distance.

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but stretch out his finger, dragging the red bottle and moving it closer to the little black ball.

Finally, two tiny tentacles stretched out from the little black ball’s shadow.  They held the little bottle, adjusted the angle, and aimed the straw at the little black ball. 

There was a little hole in that spot, looking like it had opened its mouth and then took the straw in.

“Gudong, Gudong——”

He watched as the potion in the small bottle, along the transparent straw, was sucked out, and then slowly disappeared.

So cute! 

Yu Xingqiao placed his hands on his cheeks, watching the little black ball seriously suck the potion, making it seem particularly delicious, and he couldn’t help smacking his lips.

Really want to try ah, also don’t know what it’s going to taste like……

 

As the potion disappeared, little Jun Lu’s health bar was visibly increasing and his stamina improved a little. When the health potion was almost empty, his speed became significantly faster.

Yu Xingqiao used another health potion. 

The small bottle that was almost empty was filled back up again in the blink of an eye. The little black ball paused for a moment, then continued to suck again.

By the time three health potions were finished, the health bar had filled back up. Although he was still continuously dropping health, he was finally not in a state where he could die at any moment.

“Burp~”

The little black ball let go of the health potion, and then a bubble appeared from its head. 

It seemed to be a little surprised, its two small tentacles letting go of the potion bottle and instead went to cover its mouth.

“Haha——”

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but laugh, his family’s cub was just too cute!

Seeing that it was full, Yu Xingqiao didn’t continue with the health potion, saving the rest to be used later. 

There were still 10 gold coins in the account. Excluding the bread slices, he found that he could not buy anything else, so he temporarily closed the system mall.

The empty bottle in front of the little black ball had disappeared and returned to his backpack as if it could continue to be used for something else.

Yu Xingqiao tilted his head and surveyed the little black ball.

“Well, the People of the Light ……” 

“But it’s turned into this unpleasant sight now ……”

He thought to himself, “Could it be related to the main quest?”

Since he entered the game, not to mention the tutorial mission, the loading animation was to watch the clouds, only to learn that his family cub was called Jun Lu,  was the last of the Light Race’s cub, and was even being hunted.

In the present, aside from helping the cub heal, he still didn’t understand what he needed to do. 

However, just as Yu Xingqiao finished speaking, he saw another box pop up in the center of the game.

[You have triggered the main quest: Miracle of Light]

 

Quest Description: Jun Lu, the only remaining cub of the Light Race in the world, has been blackened by a great change. This has had a profound impact on the world of Illustris.

Quest content: Please take care of the blackened cub “Jun Lu” and raise it to become a socialist successor with all-rounded development of moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic qualities! 

Current progress: 0%

Quest Reward: For every 1% of progress, you can get gold, random items, and a miracle coin.

Looking at the main quest, Yu Xingqiao was slightly stunned.

Blackened cub? A socialist successor with all-rounded development of moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic? 

How the hell is this going to be cultivated? And for a main quest line, the quest reward is too little, right?

“What the hell is this Miracle Coin for?”

[Used when exchanging special goods.]

“Where can I exchange it? And what are the special items?” 

[Please explore it yourself.]

The system’s reply was very cold. He was unsure if it was still angry that he didn’t recharge his kryptonite.

Yu Xingqiao pursed his lips and decisively clicked the red cross.

The main quest box shrunk to the right quest bar. He opened the quest bar to see that in addition to the main quest, there was an [Unlock Pet Grid] side quest to be completed. 

Yu Xingqiao let out a light tsk and closed the quest bar.

A small change appeared on the screen.

In the cavern, the small black ball was lying quietly under the moonlight when a white chat bubble suddenly emerged from the top of its head.

“Bo Ji Bo Ji……” 

It captured Yu Xingqiao’s attention. Eh? Could this be the cry of the cub?

After looking at it for a while, the bubble on top of the little black ball’s head slowly disappeared – after making this one sound, it didn’t move again.

 

“Could it be that it’s asleep and was sleep talking?”

Yu Xingqiao stretched out his finger and wanted to poke the little black ball again, but his phone shook slightly and a video call request suddenly popped up. 

He had to temporarily quit the game and press accept.

A wall in the room facing the bed suddenly lit up. It was actually an LCD screen embedded in the wall, and on it, a man’s handsome face appeared on the screen.

“Xingqiao.”

At the sight of the youth, Yu Ting’s serious and cold facial lines softened. 

He looked at his own younger brother and smiled gently.

Yu Xingqiao pulled a pillow into his arms, looked at him with a smile, and asked, “Ge, are you off work?”

“Not yet, I just finished a meeting.”

Yu Ting shook his head and asked him, “Have you been good today?” 

“I’ve always been a good boy, okay?” The youth muttered in discontent.

Looking at his brother’s glowing appearance, Yu Ting smiled, his eyes full of doting.

“And why did you want to give the nurse a raise today?”

“Because the nurse lady is very good to me!” 

“How much more do you want to give to her?”

“Well …… One hundred thousand?”

Jun Lu looked at the small bottle that appeared and disappeared out of thin air in front of him, and felt the recovery of vitality in his body. 

It had been a long time since he had received help and care from others……

As for the matter of just being poked and rolled back and forth, he selectively forgot about this awful memory.

 

Jun Lu clumsily retracted his shadow tentacles.

This was a skill that he had just learned, and he was not too skilled in using it yet. 

Suddenly, another line of small words slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

[Little Jun Lu, what’s wrong?]

Jun Lu: ?

[Isn’t being meng an inborn talent for cubs?] 

Jun Lu couldn’t help frowning, “I am not a cub, and I will not sell meng.”

He said seriously.

The system was immediately annoyed by his thoughtless reply.

[The host doesn’t even like you!] 

He is not even willing to give you ten dollars, but you still do not reflect on it!

The author has something to say.

╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Don’t take the wrong side of the gong! Jun Lu is the gong! According to human age, he was 15 or 16 years old before he was injured and became small.
