Chapter 8: Guardians and Apprentices
"Combat stuff?"
The three girls thought they were hallucinating, and it wasn't until Xia Qianshi nodded in confirmation that they were puzzled: "Lord Xia Qianshi, you are better than us, why do you want to learn combat from us?" β
"It doesn't hurt to learn a little more."
As I said before, because of the limitation of the excessively high erosion rate, Xia Qianshi can only exert his true strength when fantasy creatures appear within a range of two thousand meters.
This limitation is quite damn.
Fortunately in the face of fantasy creatures, with Xia Qianshi's speed, he would not let the other party escape two thousand meters away; But in the face of ordinary people, he has no choice.
So he is living a very low-key life now, for fear of being found out, and then being arrested by the government for slicing and research.
It is for this reason that he wants to gain the power that is truly his own, rather than relying entirely on special abilities.
However, after the two angels and a demon glanced at each other, they shook their heads and said, "This matter is too important, we must reflect to the Heavenly Realm (Demon Realm), and we are cultivating the power of angels (demons), and ordinary people may not be able to cultivate." β
"Whether you can cultivate or not, you have to try."
Xia Qianshi nodded in understanding, "As long as you are willing to help, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will be covered by me on the earth in the future!" β
Hearing Xia Qianshi say this, the three girls were all happy, especially Jia Baili, who felt that the willows and flowers were bright and another village, and they felt that there might be hope for them to return to the doomsday horn.
Similarly, Xia Qianshi was also happy in his heart.
Because he found that after saying this, the erosion rate suddenly dropped to 51%! That's an 8 percentage point reduction!
As mentioned earlier, the only way to reduce the erosion rate is to destroy or subdue the fantasy creatures on the earth, that is, what I said just now was to 'subdue' the three girls in front of me.
But isn't that a bit exaggerated?
Do you know that you have killed a huge monster before, and you have also killed a prince-level vampire, and you have only reduced the erosion rate by 1%, and now you only subdue three harmless girls who look harmless to humans and animals, and you have reduced it by 8%?
Although the three girls were angels and demons, they were only that big after all, and in terms of destructive power alone, Xia Qianshi didn't think they could be taller than the vampire prince.
And 8% is not divisible by 3, that is, the erosion rate represented by each of the three girls in front of them with equal strength is not the same.
It seems that the algorithm of the erosion rate is a little different from what I originally imagined......
"Lord Xia Qianshi......" Jia Baili said and stopped.
"Just call me by my name." Xia Qianshi came back to his senses and said, "It's always an adult, it sounds strange, and besides, I'm not too old, right?" β
"Mmmm, it's not big, and it looks like I'm 18 years old." Jia Baili quietly got closer to Xia Qianshi: "Then what do we call you?" Xia Jun? A thousand things? β
When it comes to this Xia Qianshi, it is a headache.
It is said that after traveling to Japan, he was very unaccustomed to many things because of regional cultural differences, and salutation was one of them.
In the previous life of Huaxia, it was okay to call names between friends with ordinary relationships, but in Japan it is obviously not possible.
In Japan, most of the friends shout XX-kun.
But Xia Qianshi felt that if he was called like this, wouldn't it be the same as those NC Taijun in the anti-Japanese drama?
So after thinking about it, he said, "I'm older than you, so why don't you call me Brother Qianshi." β
"Well, Brother Qianshi~~"
Jia Baili shouted sweetly in an extremely sensual voice, and then said, "Don't call me a naΓ―ve classmate in the future, just call me Jia Baili." β
Venette and Raphael also immediately followed, and said, don't call me Tsukinose (Hakuhae) classmate, just call me Venette (Raphael).
As soon as the title changed, the relationship between them suddenly became much closer, and Jia Baili felt that the atmosphere was good now, so he brought up the previous topic again: "Brother Qianshi, about the doomsday horn, ...... about it"
"It's not impossible to give it to you, but-"
The first half of Xia Qianshi's sentence made Jia Baili happy, but that sentence of 'but' made her little heart lift up again, and she listened to Xia Qianshi continue to speak very worriedly:
"But I also know your character, if the Doomsday Horn continues to stay in your hands, maybe one day you are in a bad mood, and you will directly blow up the earth...... So let's do it, if you want to return the Doomsday Horn, it's just that you're worried that you'll be punished by your parents, so I'll give you back the Doomsday Horn when you go home, or when your parents look for you, and the rest of the time, the Doomsday Horn will still be kept by me until you graduate from high school, and then I'll give you the Doomsday Horn back completely, what do you think? β
Although there is a gap between expectations and expectations, this is not unacceptable, and I usually don't need it anyway.
After a brief thought, Jia Baili agreed in one bite.
At this point, the two purposes of Jia Baili and the others coming over can be regarded as completed, and after chatting with Xia Qianshi for a while, they said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, they dragged away Satania who had fallen to the ground.
But to Xia Qianshi's surprise, it didn't take long for Satania to run back again.
"Is it because you weren't punished enough to continue to paint the stairs for me?" Xia Qianshi said.
"As long as the master gives an order, it's no problem to paint the stairs or something!"
"Wait, master?!" Xia Qianshi almost thought that he was having auditory hallucinations, "Are you sure you're calling me?" β
"Uh-huh!"
Satania nodded his little head, looked at Xia Qianshi with a look of adoration and said, "It is surprising that such a treacherous Jia Baili can be subjugated, even the Great Demon from the abyss is not comparable to the master!" β
Satania's master can be said to be shouting quite smoothly, but Xia Qianshi was speechless: "I don't seem to have confiscated you as an apprentice, right?" β
"It is my lifelong wish to defeat Jia Baili, I beg the master to accept me as an apprentice, otherwise I will kneel here and not get up!"
Remembering what Rafael had whispered to herself before he came, Satania immediately said with a firm face.
Xia Qianshi: "......"
It has been three days since Jia Baili and the others last visited, and in these three days, Xia Qianshi has done a total of the following things.
First, I found a monster to blackmail.
I don't know if it's because the erosion rate is not too high, there are not many fantasy creatures on the entire earth, and finding this humanoid monster, Xia Qianshi is also wasted.
This time he didn't kill the youkai, but blackmailed ...... No, it's to rob the rich and help the poor, and prepare for long-term training.
As a result, I don't know which of the tendons of this monster is wrong, so I actually called the police!
So Xia Qianshi slaughtered him in a fit of rage, but he didn't dare to spend the stolen money, which made him very depressed.
The second thing is about Jia Baili and others teaching him to cultivate.
The specific response of the Heavenly Realm (Demon Realm) to Xia Qianshi was not clear, but from the next day, Jia Baili and the others also tried to teach Xia Qianshi something.
It's a pity that after all, there is a difference between humans and gods, and he can't cultivate the power of the Heavenly Realm (Demon Realm) after all, so he only learned some tricks, such as enchantments or something.
The third thing is about taking Satania as an apprentice.
At Satania's insistence, Xia Qianshi finally accepted her as an apprentice, but as an energy-saver, of course he wouldn't teach this red-haired fool carefully, so he sent her away with a casual flicker.
Day 4.
Afternoon.
When Xia Qianshi was coding words, an earth-shattering scream suddenly sounded in the courtyard:
"Master ββ!!"
Xia Qianshi held his forehead with his hand, and trouble came again.
