Novel Full Chapter 50: Advance, Cola!
Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Advance, Cola!
After picking up the parcel, it was nearly noon, so Chen Yuan decided to have lunch in town.
He ordered the snail noodles he had been craving for a long time.
After finishing his meal and leaving the shop, the two little ones waiting outside rushed up to him, but when they smelled the snail noodle scent on Chen Yuan, their reactions were different.
Cola sniffed, circled around Chen Yuan several times, and its expression grew increasingly peculiar.
Soon after, Cola looked up at Chen Yuan, its round eyes rolling, and let out a knowing sigh: “Awo awo awo!”
So the owner likes to eat that too!
A black line appeared on Chen Yuan’s forehead. He held Cola by the neck, staring into its eyes, and said in a deep voice, “Don’t overthink it, it’s proper food.”
“Unlike…”
“Unlike yours!”
On the other side,
The Flame Cloud Falcon, after smelling the scent on Chen Yuan, furrowed its brow slightly, showing a trace of disdain. It quietly backed away while Chen Yuan was scolding Cola.
Noticing the Falcon’s actions, Chen Yuan helplessly massaged his forehead: “I used to scoff at snail noodles too, only realized how good they were after trying them.”
Then,
With the day still early, Chen Yuan went to the supermarket to buy some supplies.
While checking out, looking at his gradually shrinking wallet, Chen Yuan inexplicably felt a pang of pain.
Though he used to work in a government job, the salary was low, putting him in a less popular category in the matchmaking market.
Fortunately, living far away in Xuanhe Village and having low material desires, he managed to save some money since graduation.
However, after becoming a Beastmaster, his daily expenses shot up, causing his wallet to shrink rapidly, adding some pressure on Chen Yuan.
“I wonder how much the current salary is?” Chen Yuan was now directly under the Baokun City Beastmaster Association, and the benefits should be much better than before.
Dreaming about the salary and benefits, Chen Yuan drove towards Xuanhe Village.
After a while,
Chen Yuan parked his car outside the farm, stored the purchased supplies in the warehouse, and hurried to the hall.
Sitting on a wooden bench, he carefully opened the parcel while Cola eagerly looked on.
Under the wooden chair opposite, a curled-up red-orange figure—the Electric Flying Cat cautiously poked out its head, its dark eyes watching the expectant human and pet.
Yet it didn’t come out, instead, it continued to hide under the chair.
Noticing its actions, Chen Yuan chuckled as he opened the parcel: “Don’t hide all day, go out and move around more.”
According to descriptions from Cola and Spark, and what Chen Yuan had seen, the Electric Flying Cat should be very bold, with a cunning personality.
However, since he had verbally reprimanded it, the Electric Flying Cat became somewhat timid, always hiding in various corners.
Could it have been frightened by Spark?
“Dian Dian.”
The Electric Flying Cat softly responded, its eyes flashing constantly as it stayed in place silently for a moment, eventually cautiously extending its paws and moving from under the chair.
Soon,
It slowly crawled in front of Chen Yuan, yet kept a certain distance from him and Cola, tilting its head curiously at the contents of the box—two seemingly ordinary small grasses.
“Dian Dian?”
Observing Chen Yuan’s unwavering gaze at this grass, the Electric Flying Cat grew more perplexed, running numerous guesses through its mind before finally nodding in understanding.
Just like I love eating fruit, this human must love eating grass!
The Electric Flying Cat silently noted this discovery.
“So, this is Wind Language Grass…” Chen Yuan gazed at the Wind Language Grass in the box, murmuring softly.
Wind Language Grass didn’t differ much from ordinary grass, only as he approached, he could clearly feel a faint breeze passing by.
“Perhaps this is the peculiarity of Wind Language Grass.”
Reaching out, Chen Yuan touched the Wind Language Grass, the breeze brushing past his fingers, the sound of wind seemed to whistle by his ears.
[First time collecting Wind Language Grass, Source Point +2]
[Name: Wind Language Grass
Level: Tier Two Resource
Function: Can be used to enhance Wind-type Pet Beast]
Great, today I collected a total of five Source Points.
A bright smile appeared on Chen Yuan’s face, then he looked at Cola and said: “Ready?”
“Awo?”
Cola was filled with confusion.
Chen Yuan patted its head, laughing, “Of course, get ready to advance.”
Then, Chen Yuan called up Cola’s current data panel:
[Race: Gale Hunting Dog (Collected)
Attribute: Wind
Level: 4 (Tier One)
Favorability: 87
Skills: Wind Blade (Proficient 2.8/3) + Wind Stepping (Proficient 1.0/3) +
Quality: Ordinary
Advancement to Elite Quality Conditions: Can be unlocked]
With a whopping 18.1 Source Points, Chen Yuan was confident, and he directly commanded: “System, give me points!”
In fact, I could have waited for Cola to naturally improve its skills to proficiency, thus saving those rare Source Points.
But…it’s like having a parcel delivered and not opening it immediately, Chen Yuan just couldn’t wait.
In an instant, Chen Yuan spent 0.2 Source Points to upgrade Cola’s [Wind Blade] proficiency to skilled level.
Afterward, he handed the two Wind Language Grasses to Cola, saying, “Eat quickly.”
“Awo…”
Cola looked at the Wind Language Grass by its mouth, instinctively shaking its head, a hint of resistance flashing in its eyes.
Dogs don’t eat grass…
“If you want to catch up with Spark’s progress and desire greater strength, then eat it.” Chen Yuan glared at Cola.
Hearing this, Cola had no choice but to cover its eyes, adopting a resolute expression, and swallowed the Wind Language Grass in one gulp.
“Awo awo awo…”
Cola chewed the Wind Language Grass vigorously, only to find it not as bad as it imagined. Instead, it was surprisingly tasty and crunchy.
“Awo?”
After finishing, Cola raised its head, its face full of anticipation looking at Chen Yuan.
Want more!
Chen Yuan chuckled and scolded, “Eat eat eat, all you know is to eat all day.”
Yet at this moment, Cola suddenly felt something changing inside its body, a gentle breeze whirled around it, blowing dust on the ground.
Chen Yuan stepped back a bit with the Electric Flying Cat, not interfering with Cola’s advancement ceremony.
Spark and Run Run Duck appeared out of nowhere, the former quietly watching the process, its eyes reflecting a faint light, as if remembering its own advancement.
The latter widened its eyes, blankly staring at Cola surrounded by the breeze.
So envious, duck.
Like with Spark’s previous time, Cola’s advancement ceremony lasted a full hour.
“Awo awo awo!”
Upon finishing its advancement, Cola rushed over to the full-body mirror in the corner, examining its present self—its body size had increased significantly, its features were more majestic, and its tail longer and fluffier.
Beyond that, there was no difference.
“Awo…”
Seeing that it hadn’t changed much, Cola lowered its head in disappointment.
Chen Yuan walked over to Cola, crouched down, and patted its head, comforting, “Your strength has greatly improved, plus you have a bunch of friends with you, what more could you want?”
Cola suddenly turned its head and realized the presence of them in the corner—the Electric Flying Cat blinked, watching it motionlessly; Spark nodded lightly towards it, seemingly showing approval; Duck stood, arms akimbo against the wall, grinning widely.
Everyone’s here with you, duck.
