Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Cola’s Evolution Requirements
Run Run Duck ultimately chose to decline.
Thanks to the groundwork laid by the Flame-tailed Fox, Chen Yuan wasn’t too disappointed about this kind of thing; he was just a bit regretful.
It was an elite-quality Water-type Pet Beast, after all.
But Chen Yuan respected the thoughts of every Pet Beast and understood the choices they made.
Unlike ordinary wild animals, Extraordinary Creatures have developed self-awareness and possess quite high intelligence, allowing them to make different choices when faced with matters.
“Ooh…”
Cola was quite disappointed, drooping its ears, looking somewhat gloomy and depressed.
Cola somewhat regretted treating Run Run Duck as its friend and sharing its fried little fish.
But when it recalled how Run Run Duck selflessly shared that delicious Spirit Fish and walked arm in arm with it under the sun, Cola no longer regretted it.
“It’s alright, Cola.” Chen Yuan squatted down, rubbing Cola’s head, and said gently, “Not every friend will choose to go to the farm; they have their own lives too, with things they can’t let go of.”
“But being able to become friends is already very fortunate.”
Cola suddenly lifted its head, its sapphire eyes sparkling like stars, and it nodded heavily while leaping toward Chen Yuan.
“Quack…”
Run Run Duck watched the intimate interaction between the person and the pet, its eyes flickering slightly, but it didn’t have much of a reaction, just quietly observing the scene.
Then, it splashed into the water with a plop.
…
After Run Run Duck left, Chen Yuan continued fishing for more than an hour and finally caught a Spirit Fish.
It was another Wave Pattern Salmon, but much smaller than the previous one, only palm-sized.
“It’s a juvenile Spirit Fish; let’s take it back and raise it.” Successfully completing the task, Chen Yuan no longer stayed and after packing up his gear, he returned the same way he came.
“Ooh…”
Cola rarely did not run happily at the front but instead walked slowly at the back, looking lost in thought.
“Keep up, Cola.” Chen Yuan looked at Cola curiously and shouted.
“Ooh.”
Cola responded, subconsciously turning back to look at Mingyu Lake surrounded by green hills, with a deep, lingering gaze.
It drooped its tail, its pace went from slow to fast, gradually catching up with Chen Yuan’s figure.
…
On the way back,
Chen Yuan temporarily took over the tricycle and raced all the way back to the farm.
He carried a bucket and ran straight to the fish pond, directly pouring the handful of little fish and the Wave Pattern Salmon into it.
The fish pond is quite large, but due to Chen Weiyi’s limited energy, it had been left idle for a long time, with only a few fish inside.
“Grow up fast.”
Watching the Wave Pattern Salmon swim underwater and disappear in a blink, Chen Yuan murmured to himself.
This was just the first Spirit Fish entering the pond, and he believed there would soon be a second, third…
After handling this matter, Chen Yuan thought for a moment and summoned Cola’s data panel:
[Race: Gale Hunting Dog (Collected)]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Level: 3 (Tier One)]
[Favorability: 86]
[Skills: Wind Blade (Basic Understanding 2.6/3) + Wind Stepping (Basic Understanding 1.7/3) +]
[Quality: Normal]
[Elite Quality Advancement Conditions: Unlockable]
Chen Yuan currently had enough Source Points to unlock the advancement conditions, but he didn’t want to use the hard-earned Source Points for this.
He remembered that he could directly purchase Cola’s advancement conditions with Contribution Value.
He took out his phone, logged onto the Beastmaster Association’s official website, and clicked on the “Beast Taming Knowledge” section.
In the past few days, two more people had purchased the Flame Cloud Falcon’s advancement conditions, and now his Contribution Value reached 335.
[Gale Hunting Dog Normal — Elite Quality Advancement Conditions]
Chen Yuan clicked to purchase, and immediately a pop-up option appeared:
[Requires 80 Contribution Value to purchase, confirm?]
Confirm!
[Gale Hunting Dog Normal — Elite Quality Advancement Conditions: Wind Language Grass x2, Proficient Level Wind Blade]
Chen Yuan quickly found the basic introduction of Wind Language Grass in the Spirit Plant area—Wind Language Grass, a level two resource, grows in wind resource-rich areas and greatly benefits the growth of Wind-type Pet Beasts.
“Wind resource rich?” Chen Yuan furrowed his brow in thought for a while, then shook his head.
From his impression, there was no place nearby Xuanhe Village that met this condition.
“Looks like I have to think of a way.”
Spark had already successfully advanced, and Cola, his second backup Pet Beast, should also be prepared for advancement.
“As for Proficient Level Wind Blade?”
“Unlike Spark, it actually requires a specific skill proficiency level.”
Spark’s requirement back then was any proficient-level skill, but Cola specifically required “Wind Blade.”
“But this is simple; Cola can achieve the goal soon through its own effort.” Chen Yuan thought quietly.
Then,
He glanced sideways at Cola, who was yawning in the courtyard, and muttered softly, “Hmm… definitely hardworking.”
This afternoon, with nothing to do, Chen Yuan stayed on the farm, supervising Cola’s training while planting the Blazing Fruit seeds.
After several days of hard work, Iron Head had successfully plowed a large plot of land.
“Clunk…”
Standing beside Chen Yuan inspecting the results, the normally silent Iron Head seemed a bit apprehensive.
Its work was already finished; would it still have the opportunity for free meals and accommodation in the future?
Would it have to wander around again?
Thinking of this, Iron Head inevitably felt uneasy, and seeing Chen Yuan silent, it became even more nervous and worried.
After who knows how long,
“You did a great job.” The moment the voice rang out, the heavy stone in Iron Head’s heart finally dropped by half, but that heart was still suspended, waiting for Chen Yuan to continue speaking.
Chen Yuan looked at Iron Head’s nervous face and laughed, “Don’t be nervous; I won’t dismiss you.”
“Clunk?” Iron Head widened its eyes, staring at Chen Yuan in disbelief.
“I’m serious.” Chen Yuan said firmly, “Your work attitude satisfies me, and I need you to continue staying on the farm to set a good example for other employees.”
Upon hearing these words, Iron Head looked a little confused, but hearing that Chen Yuan didn’t plan to drive it away, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a brief pause, Chen Yuan continued, “Also, every year we need to turn the soil, and this work relies on you.”
“Clunk～”
Iron Head, simple-minded, scratched its head and showed a reserved yet proud smile.
Turning the soil, what I’m good at is turning the soil.
After soothing the anxious best employee, Chen Yuan carefully planted the four fruit seeds into the ground.
Because Blazing Fruit Trees grow up to about twenty meters tall, he deliberately spaced them to prevent them from being too close and competing for sunlight.
“Unfortunately, there’s currently no Water-type Pet Beast, so I have to water them myself.” Chen Yuan still had a fixation on having a Water-type Pet Beast assist with watering.
“Ooh ooh ooh!”
However, at this moment, Cola, who was training, seemed to sniff something, its nose twitching, and it suddenly looked excited.
The next moment,
it barked excitedly while taking off, running toward the outside of the farm.
Getting closer and closer to the farm gate, a white figure gradually came into view.
