Chapter 40: Advanced Xiaoqing

"Detected that your intimacy with the mutant green bamboo snake (Xiaoqing) has reached 90, and the battle pet panel is activating......

"The current upper limit of the binding of war pets is 3, do you bind the mutant green bamboo snake (Xiaoqing) to the war pet?"

"Yes/No"

……

"War pet panel." Du Ya raised his eyebrows.

This is also one of the parts of the setting that he didn't have time to perfect, and he only had time to set a framework before his sudden death.

He didn't know the activation conditions of the Battle Pet panel, but he was familiar with the functions and rules of this thing.

The so-called war pet panel is actually a pet system in many games, which can subdue wild mutant species into war pets, so that they have a data panel that can view information like players, and at the same time, players can also use evolution values to improve the talent development of war pets.

It is important to know that the strength of the war pet can also be seen as part of the player's strength.

Because as long as the war pet is bound, it is almost impossible to betray again, and it can be completely equivalent to half of the player's doppelganger.

"Yes!"

Du Ya did not hesitate, and directly chose to bind.

In an instant, a milky white halo appeared on his and Xiaoqing's bodies, which lasted for a moment before disappearing.

The Golden Mantis, which was still eating the meat of a mid-level beast on the side, was a little vigilant by the sudden appearance of the milky white halo, and did not continue to eat until it found that there was nothing to do.

After the halo disappeared, there was already a vague connection between Du Ya and Xiaoqing.

Originally, he still needed to call 'quack' to make Xiaoqing understand what he meant, but now he only needs one thought, and at the same time, he can finally further check Xiaoqing's data:

"Name: Mutant Green Bamboo Snake (Little Green)"

"Age: 1 (5)"

"Intimacy: 90"

"Evolutionary Level: Low Level"

"Talents:

Self-healing Lv.1 (88%) – Extraordinary self-healing speed

Transparency Lv.1 (97%) - Makes the body transparent

Afterimage Lv.2 (5%) - Through rapid movement and elegant positioning, it creates a realistic afterimage

Venom Penetrates Lv. 2 (38%) - When it hits a target, it instantly infuses a large amount of enhanced Super Toxin."

……

Xiaoqing's detailed data is also different from Du Ya's prediction, both in terms of age and talent.

He had expected that Xiaoqing's 'transparency' and 'self-healing' should not be far from the Lv.2 level, but he didn't know the specific degree of development, but now that he looked at it, it was closer to the Lv.2 level than he thought.

After teaming up with the Golden Mantis to kill the mutant vulture, Du Ya's small treasury was already full again, and naturally he would not be stingy with such a little evolution value.

Immediately, he helped Xiaoqing increase the development level of 'transparency' by three percent, directly raising it to the advanced threshold of Lv.2.

"Huh?"

Xiaoqing didn't quite understand what was going on, but felt as if Du Ya had done something to him, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't move yet—"

Du Ya conveyed the past with a thought.

Xiaoqing, who received Du Ya's order, immediately froze in place, even if it was not clear what the situation was for the time being, it believed that Du Ya would not harm it.

Not long after, Xiao Qing felt a strange power appear in his body, which quickly spread all over his body...... With the emergence of this force, its appearance is also slowly changing.

The original light green body became thicker and thicker, until the entire body turned dark green.

Curiously, its size did not increase but decreased, becoming more and more slender, until it was reduced to only two-thirds of its original width.

At this moment, its aura was also surging, becoming more and more threatening, startling the golden mantis on the side to retreat sharply, putting on a vigilant posture ready to flee at any time.

While on guard, the Golden Mantis was also looking at Xiaoqing in shock, because it already understood what was happening.

The mutated green bamboo snake in front of him is about to enter the middle level!

If it weren't for the fact that he was quite confident in his own strength, and he didn't feel Du Ya's hostility towards them, it would probably have run away by now.

A few minutes later.

The changes on Xiaoqing's body finally stopped completely, and the aura on its body was already emitted by a mid-level mutant species.

Du Ya also checked the battle pet panel again at this time:

"Name: Mutant Green Bamboo Snake (Little Green)"

……

"Evolutionary Level: Intermediate"

"Talents:

Self-healing Lv.1 (88%)......

Lv.2 (0%) - Allows the body to enter the body into transparency, and hides the sound of movement, as well as the smell of oneself

Remnant Lv.2 (5%)......

Venom penetrates Lv.2 (38%)......"

……

Xiaoqing, who has entered the middle level, has not changed much in the data, only the 'transparency' of the rank name follow-up order has changed.

However, changes in strength are not simply statistically significant.

The same level of talent, used by mutated species of different ranks, the effect is absolutely different.

If Xiaoqing uses the 'afterimage' now, whether it is the movement speed or the number of afterimages created, it will definitely be much stronger than before the advancement, maybe more than doubled.

The ascension from the lower to the middle level can be said to be comprehensive.

In the past, when Xiaoqing attacked the Golden Mantis, even if it bit it, it couldn't break the defense, but now if it wants to bite the Golden Mantis again, even if the Golden Mantis has a Lv.2 defense talent, it is useless.

Therefore, the gold mantis is actually a little nervous right now.

It wasn't sure if Xiaoqing would find it shameful after it advanced, and it was much more afraid of Xiaoqing than it was about mutant vultures.

How terrible is Xiaoqing's venom, it's not that it hasn't been seen before, and when it was a low-level mutant species, it could trap and kill a mutant vulture as a middle-level mutant species, and now it's advanced, and it's still there?

It was extremely skeptical that if it was hit by the venom of Xiaoqing, who had now evolved to the middle level, it would directly lose its resistance.

But this time, it thought too much, because Xiaoqing was busy with Du Ya after advancing.

It has become Du Ya's war pet, and naturally understands that Du Ya has helped it and accelerated its advancement speed.

At this time, it didn't have time to pay attention to the golden mantis.

"Hiss~~hiss~~~!" Xiaoqing rubbed his head against Du Ya.

"Okay, it's mainly your own efforts, don't thank me." Du Ya smiled and passed on a thought from the past.
