The Wishing Tree sparkled brightly, with colorful lights spiraling around it in circles, centered on the Wishing Tree itself. It was even more eye-catching than a Christmas tree, giving off an enchanting feeling.
"Everyone, make a wish! Later, we're going to Luoyang to find Zhou Tianshi. With Tomorrow's Game added in, I think I'll be close to level 40. That will be just in time for the weekly Martial Arts Tournament. I hope to aim for either Runner-up or Top Scholar... Hey, Ba Dao, why are you still here?"
Lufeng was about to make a wish under the Wishing Tree when he suddenly noticed Ba Dao had not left. Instead, he was hiding behind the Wishing Tree, sitting cross-legged with an ID (Ba Dao) above his head and a mixed yellow mood title (Unable to Kill, How Sad). To the left of his ID was a bloody axe.
Lufeng was taken aback; the axe indicated that Ba Dao had killed at least three people. However, Lufeng was very curious as to why Ba Dao was only level 39. So he asked, "Aren't you not allowed to PK before level 40? How come you have an axe? And why are you here sharpening it?"
Ba Dao looked up at Lufeng and replied indifferently, "What? Do you want to be a hero? I know that if you kill me, you can loot my items, but if you think you can get my Roar, don't even think about it; I've already stored it in the warehouse."
"The Roar Skill Book?" Gao Chao asked in surprise.
"Don't ask if you already know!" Ba Dao coldly responded, ignoring Lufeng's previous question entirely.
Lufeng felt confused but understood that Ba Dao looked at him and the others with hostility. Lufeng could completely empathize with someone who carried a weapon. While playing Heavenly Dragon, Lufeng had often killed seven or eight people; once he left the city, he would be PKed and treated like a rat crossing the street—everyone wanted him dead. Sometimes he was even PKed by players several dozen levels lower than him; just thinking about it made him both laugh and cry.
"Ba Dao, I think you've misunderstood; we mean no harm. We're just here to make wishes, please don't overthink it," Lufeng explained.
Ba Dao remained indifferent and said coldly, "Even if you wanted to kill me, it's impossible. I'm still not level 40; you can't PK me here."
"Then how do you have an axe?" Qin Shou asked curiously.
"None of your business!" Ba Dao replied coldly. He glanced at Lufeng and said casually, "Lufeng, you've been quite prominent lately. The gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out; I advise you to be careful and not associate with those hypocrites from Extreme Radiance. In the end, you'll be the one who suffers. Aunt Wang may have a reputation in the community, but compared to me, she's still lacking a bit!"
"Nonsense! My brother is nowhere near inferior to you! If I'm guessing correctly, those from Extreme Radiance are here hunting you down!" Wang Xiaojing said through gritted teeth.
Ba Dao was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Haha, so you're Auntie's sister. Not bad; you're clearly not just a pretty face. I am indeed being hunted by them, but they are only destined to be killed by me!"
"Pfft~ You’re not afraid of biting your tongue with such bravado!" Wang Xiaojing scoffed.
However, Lufeng did not agree with her attitude. While playing Heavenly Dragon, Lufeng could only be considered a minor character but had some understanding of Ba Dao as a legendary figure. He had long heard of Ba Dao's extraordinary wealth; he was the first Sky Dragon Player to hit level 8 gems and could definitely not be considered a newbie in Asking Heaven.
Ba Dao smiled slightly and said, "Little girl, don’t be so rash; just look at my equipment and you'll understand."
Lufeng quickly checked the equipment, all of which were level 30 sets, and each piece was embedded with two to three level 3 gems. Lufeng was astonished and asked, "How did you do that? How do you have so many coins to exchange for Tongbao to buy gems?"
"Hey, if you can get high-level Skill Books, why can't I? I also have a Roar, do you want it?" Ba Dao sneered.
"Of course I want it, haha!" Gao Chao laughed.
Lufeng felt embarrassed. If only such good fortune were true. He calmly said, "First, I need to clarify my identity. We are just here to make wishes, and I have no ulterior motives. If we can find a Skill Book, would we still covet yours? Secondly, I am not interested in your opinions about Extreme Radiance and others. As the saying goes, 'The great hidden among the masses, the moderate hidden in the forest, and the small hidden in the wild.' I am just a significant figure; I don't think I have any extraordinary abilities. The best way to be low-key is to maintain an ordinary heart. I don't covet wealth; as long as I act according to my conscience, that's enough. Therefore, even if others have ulterior motives towards me, I'm not afraid. As long as my heart is clear, death is nothing to fear. Lastly, I'm not interested in your Roar Skill Book. It's just a Skill Book worth 3960 coins. My baby has already learned Raging Inferno, which is of the same level as your Roar. So your matters have nothing to do with me."
"Clap clap!" Ba Dao couldn't help but applaud and laughed, "Good, full of righteousness! I'm planning to trade you Roar. What do you have that would satisfy me?"
Lufeng smiled indifferently: "Not interested!"
"Hey, kid, are you getting angry? Good, good! You suit my taste. If you can bring out a hundred level 1 stones, I'll trade you Roar."
Ba Dao couldn't help but throw down this heavy bet. A hundred level 1 stones were worth about a thousand coins, but Ba Dao didn't believe Lufeng could produce a hundred level 1 gems.
Lufeng was slightly taken aback: "Is that true?"
"Of course!" Ba Dao paused but nodded again. He felt something was off but knew that once words were spoken, they couldn't be taken back.
Lufeng was overjoyed. After making his wish, he asked Wang Xiaojing for thirty level 1 gems and smiled slightly: "Suzhou Warehouse, see you!"
"Alright!"
……
With the flying dragon's hundred percent movement speed, Lufeng and the others returned to Liang Daoist, completed their quest, and Lufeng leveled up to 36 while receiving an apple item.
"Xiaoxiao, don't throw away the apple; twenty of them can be exchanged for a level 3 gem at Liang Daoist," Lufeng reminded.
"Got it!" Xiaoxiao obediently nodded in response.
Later, Lufeng and others arrived at the warehouse. Lu Fu took out all 70 first-level gems he had previously bought from the Roving Merchant, feeling quite pleased: "Fortunately, this Badao collects them; otherwise, it would be easier to exchange gold coins for Tongbao and buy third-level gems from the Tongbao Store."
"Wow, you secretly hoarded 70 gems? No wonder you agreed to him so readily," Wang Xiaojing quickly tugged at Lufeng's ear and questioned.
"Ah, that hurts!" Lufeng quickly begged for mercy.
"Considering it's your first offense, I'll let it slide this time!"
Lufeng rubbed his ear, looking innocent: "I almost forgot to mention, born wronged, what's the joy in business? I really forgot I had bought 70 first-level gems. If it weren't for Badao reminding me, I wouldn't have remembered."
"Alright, I already forgave you," Wang Xiaojing said gently, changing her usual demeanor. "By the way, Badao isn't playing us for fools, is he? It's been so long."
"Am I that kind of person? You underestimate me. I actually just wanted to give you Roar, so I found a random excuse."
Just as Wang Xiaojing questioned him, Badao returned and took Roar from the warehouse to trade with Lufeng.
"Hehe, I get it!" Lufeng smiled. Naturally, he had to act obedient after getting a good deal. He then traded for the coveted Roar Skill Book. With this, Sunglasses Cat's skills were nearly complete; with two manual skills—Raging Inferno and Roar—pulling monsters became much easier. It was better than soloing babies since in Wen Tian World, one couldn't just stand still waiting for a baby to fight monsters alone. Thus, this Internal Attack baby was indeed a must-have good baby.
After receiving a hundred first-level gems, Badao wasn't too disappointed; there was still a hint of expectation in his eyes as he bid farewell to Lufeng and the others.
"Haha, truly heaven-sent! I was just wanting a Roar, and unexpectedly Badao delivered it right to my door."
Lufeng happily checked the Roar Skill Book:
【Roar Skill Book】 (Skill Book)
Item Level: 1
Usage Level: 1
Description: Requires the owner to use manually. After use, it can attack many targets over a wide area. Skills like Kaiyang and Breaking Army Type can coexist. If one or two supporting skills are learned, the manual skills of the baby can increase to three.
After reading the introduction of the Skill Book, Lufeng suddenly remembered that the Roar Skill Book used to be a Breaking Army Type Skill Book. He didn't expect that the Roar Skill Book could now coexist with both the Breaking Army and Kaiyang manual Skill Books. With the combination of these three major skills, it was possible for his pet to achieve eight skills.
Thinking of this, Lufeng quickly formed a team and rode on a flying dragon towards the Luoyang Rare Beast Point.
Before long, Lufeng and the others found Yun Miaomiao, who taught pet skills. After spending 99 gold coins, a System prompt echoed in their ears:
“Ding~”
System Prompt: Congratulations, your Sunglasses Cat has learned its eighth major skill.
Lufeng was overjoyed. After sharing the information about Sunglasses Cat, everyone except Xiaoxiao was stunned. They saw that in addition to the Roar and Fiery Hands manual skills, Sunglasses Cat also had Strengthening, Instant Shadow, Focus, Law Soul, Mighty Strike, and Blood Poisoning Spell.
Qin Shou quickly said, “Learn Blazing Spell to replace Mighty Strike, and replace Focus with Super Pain Strike for perfection.”
Lufeng paused slightly and added, “Why not say to learn Super Strengthening to replace Strengthening and Super Instant Shadow to replace Instant Shadow? Wouldn't that be even more perfect?”
“That would be even better!” Qin Shou flattered.
Lufeng turned his head away, too lazy to deal with Qin Shou's unrealistic ideas. If everything had to be perfect, it would be too illusory.
“Wow, boss v5! The first pet with eight skills has been born. It seems that Asking Heaven will no longer waste space for the original pet Skill Books. Maybe twelve skills can really be achieved. I'm so looking forward to it!” Gao Chao said excitedly.
