Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Advancement! Intermediate Beastmaster!
After successfully obtaining the Spirit Mushroom, Chen Yuan wasted no time and hurriedly packed up to head home.
Based on the footage recorded by the sports camera, the mysterious Strong Frog seemed not to be angry with Run Run Duck for taking the Spirit Mushroom, it merely wanted to chase it away.
However, the Strong Frog’s attitude was poor, which angered Run Run Duck, leading to a fierce battle.
Behind the deep rock passage, there appeared to be even deeper secrets hidden.
But Chen Yuan got the Spirit Mushroom as he wished and was not curious about other secrets.
As long as it didn’t affect his normal life, nor caused a negative impact on the surrounding environment, he didn’t care what secrets lay there.
He raced home like the wind, quickly bringing the Spirit Mushroom into the hall, placing it on the table and examining it closely.
[First time collecting Spirit Mushroom, Source Point +5]
[Name: Spirit Mushroom
Level: Third-level resource
Function: Can be used to enhance Spiritual Power]
Even outside the deep cave environment, the Spirit Mushroom continued to emit a faint yellow glow.
Although its appearance was somewhat strange, as soon as Chen Yuan saw it, an inexplicable longing arose within him, a desire to swallow it in one bite.
But according to his brother, the Spirit Mushroom needs to be soaked in water before consumption.
Chen Yuan suppressed his desire and hurriedly boiled a kettle of hot water, placing the Spirit Mushroom into the pot to soak.
Afterwards,
Chen Yuan stayed beside the Spirit Mushroom, watching it intently as it began to shrink at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Five minutes felt exceptionally long to Chen Yuan as he waited what seemed forever, finally seeing the Spirit Mushroom shrink down to the size of a palm.
“Quack quack.”
Seeing the shrinking Spirit Mushroom, Run Run Duck reacted even more excitedly than Chen Yuan.
Once the farm owner eats the Spirit Mushroom, he can make fried small fish!
Run Run Duck obediently sat on the stool, wearing a little apron, patiently waiting for the fried small fish.
Chen Yuan used chopsticks to pick up the palm-sized Spirit Mushroom, gazing at it carefully for a moment, then opened his mouth and started chewing.
Hmm, it had no flavor.
Not fragrant nor sweet, not bitter nor sour.
He originally thought of letting his grandfather eat the Spirit Mushroom, perhaps directly becoming a Beastmaster.
But Chen Wenhao stated that this third-level resource, Spirit Mushroom, could only be used by Beastmasters, as ordinary people’s bodies couldn’t withstand the massive infusion of Spiritual Power, so he had to dismiss this idea.
After Chen Yuan ate the Spirit Mushroom, he immediately felt a wonderful reaction occurring within his body, Spiritual Power boiling like hot water.
Chen Yuan dashed into the bedroom, sitting cross-legged on the bed in a meditation posture.
“Quack?”
Watching Chen Yuan run past him, Run Run Duck was taken aback.
Duck’s fried small fish still hasn’t come!
At this moment, Chen Yuan couldn’t pay attention to Run Run Duck, as all his focus was on meditation, allowing no distractions.
Soon, Chen Yuan could noticeably feel his Spiritual Power increasing quickly, if previously his Spiritual Power strength was like a small stream, now multiple streams were merging in, expanding into a river.
Yet the expansion continued until the evening.
Chen Weiyi returned home, peeking in through the partially open door, seeing Chen Yuan still in a meditation pose, and gently closed the door, heading into the kitchen.
“Quack quack~”
Sitting on the stool, Run Run Duck’s belly was already growling with hunger, as it jumped to the ground, scampering to Chen Weiyi’s side, gently calling.
Duck is hungry.
“Soon you’ll have fried small fish,” Chen Weiyi chuckled, taking a frozen Spirit Fish from the fridge, frying it while preparing Chen Yuan’s dinner.
Before long,
Run Run Duck sat back on the stool, flippers paddling up and down like small oars, eagerly eyeing Chen Weiyi as he presented the fried small fish.
“Fried small fish is here,” Chen Weiyi announced with a smile, placing the fried small fish in front of Run Run Duck, then turning to gaze at Chen Yuan’s bedroom with concern, “Wonder how much longer it will take.”
Cola and Spark stood like two Gate Gods on both sides of the bedroom door, Cola growing sleepy and wanting to yawn, yet afraid of disturbing the master inside, quickly covering its mouth with a paw.
Spark silently stood there with eyes closed, seemingly uninterested in everything around.
But if anything unusual attempted to disturb Chen Yuan, it would attack mercilessly.
The Electric Flying Cat lay near the main door, occasionally glancing at the apple on the ground and then at Run Run Duck enjoying the fried small fish, feeling rather down.
It too wanted to eat the fried small fish.
Yet looking down at its slightly chubby body, the Electric Flying Cat sighed deeply, gnawing at the apple.
What used to be delicious apples now seemed flavorless.
Bam!
Suddenly, the bedroom door opened from within, a figure slowly emerged.
“Woof!”
Cola’s drowsiness vanished instantly, raising its head excitedly; Spark opened its eyes swiftly, looking at Chen Yuan with hope; Run Run Duck turned its head as well, and seeing the farm owner unharmed, immediately resumed focusing on its fried small fish.
“Hungry? Let’s eat first?” questioned Chen Weiyi, who was watching the evening news in the hall, with a smile.
Chen Yuan nodded, then spoke to the little fellows, “Thanks for guarding me all afternoon.”
“Woof woof.”
Cola jumped at Chen Yuan excitedly, Spark turned its head haughtily, Run Run Duck ignored completely, and the Electric Flying Cat looked at the apple with sadness.
Chen Yuan sat down to eat, saying nothing as he concentrated on finishing the table’s food.
Ten minutes later,
Chen Yuan set down his chopsticks, patting his slightly swollen belly, a satisfied smile on his face: “Finally full.”
At a thought, Chen Yuan called up his current personal panel:
[Host: Chen Yuan
Level: Mid-tier Beastmaster
Skill: Mind Sensing
Spiritual Protection Shield (Can resist attacks)
Source Point: 8.1]
Thanks to the enhancement from the third-level resource, the Spirit Mushroom, Chen Yuan’s Spiritual Power greatly increased, directly elevating from Initial-tier Beastmaster to Mid-tier Beastmaster.
Along with successful advancement, his physical fitness also improved.
“Does my speed count as top-tier?” Chen Yuan’s smile grew bigger.
Although not a particularly hard-working Beastmaster, limited to meditating only at night, becoming Mid-tier so swiftly owed much to the Spirit Mushroom, saving countless meditation efforts.
Upon becoming a Mid-tier Beastmaster, he awakened another Beastmaster skill—the Spiritual Protection Shield.
Chen Yuan had previously pondered this issue—in formal Pet Beast battles, opposing Pet Beasts won’t attack each other’s Beastmasters.
Yet in the wild, encountering hostile wild Pet Beasts or criminal Beastmasters, a Beastmaster’s personal safety becomes a major issue.
But now with the Spiritual Protection Shield, a Beastmaster has some self-defense ability.
Chen Yuan even wondered, with higher levels, would Beastmaster skills awaken that possess offensive capabilities, allowing him to fight alongside Pet Beasts directly?
“Is that a human-form Pet Beast?” Chen Yuan chuckled.
Yet now, he wasn’t planning to test the strength of the Spiritual Protection Shield, there’s a much more important matter waiting for him.
Chen Yuan left the dining table, striding up to Cola, squatting down, and said with a smile: “Cola, do you want to fight alongside me in the future?”
