Chapter 269: Pitted by Demonic Beasts
"My sister, why do you think that?"
Link said speechlessly, "If I really have some purpose, just like you, just come and be strong, why bother for a long time?" Besides, you've been trying to figure out who you are from the beginning, aren't you still clueless? Before I can do that, I have to have a place to live, right? β
"How can I be as unbearable as you say, you may not be able to beat me!"
Xia Qi snorted coldly, and then said, "Don't you want to find out your identity?" Then go to the law enforcement agencies and check your own files! β
"Can you still check the files?"
Link was slightly surprised, "You said it earlier, I didn't know at all." β
"It's not something everybody knows, I thought you did."
Xia Qi was speechless, as long as everyone who lives in this world should know these things.
"But I'm amnesia!"
Link looked helpless, "How can I know this common sense!" β
"......" Xia Qi was silent.
These reasons made her unable to refute, and they seemed to be very reasonable.
"Forget it, anyway, the registration is completed now, let's go up and have a look first."
Link waved his hand and was the first to step into the levitating elevator next to the counter.
Xia Qi followed.
"Where to go first? Do you have a class first? β
Xia Qi looked at Link and asked.
"Let's go to the layer where there are monsters first, I want to go and observe the monsters first and see what they look like." Link thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay."
Xia Qi nodded, and did not object, and helped Link press the elevator button.
After the elevator arrives at the station and opens the door, Link finally sees the most special side of this world, a group of all kinds of monsters!
Link couldn't help but think about his fetters system, would it trigger any special effects when facing Warcraft?
With that in mind, Link stepped out of the elevator and observed the place.
The rough plan here is somewhat similar to that of a museum, with the beasts immobilized in cages made of lasers, mostly surrounded by strangely stiff people.
"What are they doing?"
Link pointed to the people and asked Xia Qi beside him.
"They're building a summoning contract." Xia Qi explained.
"Quite unique ...... pose"
Link pouted, he really thought those people were acting too strangely.
"That's because they're not skilled!"
Xia Qi snorted lightly, "A true summoner, the action of building a contract is very elegant. β
"For example?"
Link was skeptical.
"I'll test it for you later, and you'll understand."
Xia Qi clenched her small fists and looked eager to try.
"Which one do I think is good, can you try it?" Link looked around and pointed to the only monster in the corner that no one cared about.
Xia Qi looked over, and her face became unnatural, "Is it okay to change one?" β
"There's still a queue elsewhere."
Link frowned, "I think that's pretty good, isn't it?" β
"That's a two-star demonic beast."
Xia Qi was helpless, "To be honest, I don't even have the courage to stand in front of that demonic beast now. β
"Is that an exaggeration?"
Link disagreed, "It's all in a cage, can it still get out?" β
As he spoke, he approached the beast to take a closer look.
It was a huge octopus-shaped monster with tentacles as thick as normal thighs, but the gap in the laser cage was small enough for it to stretch out its tentacles.
"Hey, that octopus ......" Xia Qi suddenly reminded him.
"Just see."
Link turned a deaf ear and was already standing in front of the octopus cage.
"Drop! Discover a two-star monster, become a summoner and spend two gold coins to sign a contract with it. β
A system chime suddenly sounded in my head.
Sure enough, in the face of special situations, the system will pop up a prompt tone.
But.
What is it to be a gold coin?
Poof!
Link was thinking about it when the octopus in the cage suddenly surged and spewed out a large stream of ink.
Most of the ink stained the laser cage and evaporated into curling black smoke, but there was still a lot of ink that passed through the cage and sprayed Link.
"Don't go, huh."
Xia Qi laughed out loud on the side.
Link was speechless for a moment; ββ¦β¦β
That's too much.
"So that you don't listen to me."
Xia Qi stuck out her tongue.
"What am I doing with ink now?"
Link gave her a blank look, looking at himself covered in ink.
"The clothes you wear will clean themselves, and the ink will be gone after a while."
Xia Qi was proud, "This is still what my dad replaced when he came to stay for a few days before, it's not cheap." β
"What about the face?"
Link was not surprised, and subconsciously wiped his face and applied the ink on his face more evenly.
"No way."
Xia Qi held back a smile, "The ink is estimated to take an hour or two to get rid of it." β
Link: "! β
Endure!
What if there is ink all over his face, no one knows him anyway, no shame!
Link gradually calmed down.
"There's a guy over there who has been pitted by an octopus again!"
"I'm laughing to death, but the training institution is bad enough, I don't know how to set up a sign to remind me?"
"It's not easy, I finally met a colleague, I want to ...... at the beginning"
The people around him were talking in a cheerful tone.
Link's face fell, and he was still very embarrassed.
"Which floor do you go to for cultivation?"
Link wants to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and besides, the condition of becoming a summoner required by the system, he must also do it as soon as possible.
"Second floor, but are you sure you don't want to learn theory first?"
Xia Qi reminded, "It's not difficult to become a summoner, you only need a hundred points of energy, the difficulty is how to rely on this hundred points of energy to sign a contract with a demonic beast!"
"Theoretical knowledge and experience are particularly important in this regard."
"So you have learned so much theoretical knowledge and successfully signed the contract?"
Link asked rhetorically.
"I don't look down on ordinary summoned beasts!"
Xia Qi was not convinced, "My goal is to directly sign a two-star Warcraft!" If I were looking for that kind of one-star Warcraft with very low quality, I would have signed it a long time ago! β
"Besides, if you want to rely on your strength to be sent to the summoning academy, signing a two-star summoning beast as a one-star summoner is the most basic, otherwise anyone can be escorted."
After speaking, Xia Qi looked at Link, "I advise you to give up, there are only a handful of people who enter the Summoning Academy through strength every year, those people either have a solid family background or amazing talents, and there is still a week left before the assessment, even if you take both of these now, it is impossible to pass the assessment without any foundation." β
"What if?"
Link smiled and said nothing.
"There won't be any case."
Xia Qi sighed.
"Anyway, take me to the cultivation place first, I'll try how long it will take to accumulate enough energy for a hundred points."
Link didn't bother to explain too much.
And at this time.
A young girl walked out of the elevator with two men in black.
"Miss, this is the last layer, we checked the registration information here when we came, it is impossible for the young master to be here."
The man in black persuaded.
"What if?"
The girl said coldly.
"Anyway, let's look for it first."
The girl commanded.
"Yes."
The two men in black could only obey orders.
And at this time.
Xia Qi took Link and passed by the girl.
"Huh?"
The girl glanced at Link, whose face was covered in ink, and then shook her head.
Although the body size is about the same, he doesn't have that kind of temperament, it's not him.
"Miss, no."
The two men in black soon came back and reported, "I've been looking for so long and still haven't been there, the news may be true, young master, he ......"
"Needless to say."
The girl's expression was calm, "As long as he is alive, he will definitely go to the training institution, after all, there is still a week before the entrance examination of the Summoning Academy." β
"But with the young master's talent, maybe he has already given up......"
The man in black said weakly.
"I won't give up."
The girl was resolute, "There is another training institution in the south of the city, let's go there and have a look." β
"Yes."
And at this time.
Xia Qi had already taken Link to the second floor.
All the walls on the second floor are made of special materials, and they have the property of gathering energy, and the cultivation speed here is several times faster than outside!
However.
At this time, there was a huge second floor, but there was no one.
"Most of the people who can become summoners have already accumulated enough energy for a hundred points, and they naturally can't continue to cultivate until they contract with their favorite summoned beasts."
Xia Qi saw Link's doubts.
"Understood."
Link nodded, walked over to a mat and sat cross-legged, cultivating through the methods he had seen in the book yesterday.
"Absorbing energy is as easy as breathing, but you have to find that feeling."
Xia Qi whispered on the side, "As for when you can find that feeling, it depends on your personal talent." β
Link listened silently, but did not reply, still looking for that mysterious feeling according to the method in the book.
Soon.
He could already feel the faint fluctuations of the dissociating energy around him.
You see, how simple is it?
I am really talented, and practicing absorbing energy is like playing.
Besides, this is normal, after all, he has also been a magician before, and he has relevant experience in him.
Link excitedly tries to communicate with those energies and let them flow into his body.
However, when this step was made, something went wrong.
Those energies seemed to be unusually resistant to Link, they just didn't want to get closer, and no matter how hard Link tried, those energies remained unmoved.
οΌοΌοΌ
Link was stunned.
Obviously the energy is right in front of you, why can't you absorb it?
"You should find that feeling, right?"
Xia Qi said strangely on the side.
"I found it, but those energies seem to dislike me."
Link had a dark face, but fortunately it wasn't obvious that there was ink in the way.
"Dislike you?"
Xia Qi frowned, what kind of metaphor is this?
"Give me a power stone to try." Link said suddenly.
In addition to absorbing energy from the air, there is also a big killer weapon called a power stone.
"Well, there are only the smallest size of free power stones here, and each person is limited to one piece a month."
Xia Qi went to a machine in the corner to tinker for a while, then brought a fingernail-sized energy stone and handed it to Link.
Link looked at the power stone lying in his palm and was silent.
This is also shabby......
Forget it, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat.
Link directly pinched the power stone with two fingers.
Suddenly.
A stream of pure energy converged into his body through Link's fingers, and then ......
and it is lost from the body.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
The corners of Link's mouth twitched, energy can still run?
"I don't think you're suitable for cultivation."
Xia Qi said silently.
"It was an accident."
Link didn't believe in evil and ran to the machine to collect a power stone with his own identity, and absorbed it again.
However.
It's the same as last time.
Well......
Link's mentality collapsed.
"It's okay, people like you who can't cultivate account for at least eighty percent of the entire continent."
Xia Qi patted Link on the shoulder and comforted, "At least your talent as a cook is still good." β
"Huh."
Link smiled wryly.
There's no reason why your talent is so bad?
If you can't cultivate, won't you even be able to use the system?
Wrong!
There must be something I haven't thought of yet!
Link refuses to admit defeat, this is a lifelong matter, and he must find a way to solve it.
Otherwise, you can only be a cook for the rest of your life......
"Xia Qi, show me your ring."
Link's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of the ring that could trigger the system's response!
It seems that the system absorbs the energy in the ring and feeds it back to itself?
I remember the first time that the system gave me super physical fitness and amazing reflexes that were fast enough to trigger bullet time!
Try it!
"What are you going to do?"
"Let's talk about it first, this ring needs energy stones to recharge, my salary is almost out this month, you can save some money."
Xia Qi reminded her, but took off the ring and handed it to Link.
"What kind of salary, don't parents give pocket money?"
Link took the ring and glanced at Xia Qi suspiciously, rich enough to be kidnapped and used to it, and still need to receive a salary?
"I wanted to see if I could be self-reliant, so I haven't asked for their money for a year."
Xia Qi said proudly.
"Oh?"
Link was surprised, "You can still live in that kind of house without asking for money for a year, what kind of work do you do now?" β
"Collect the rent."
Xia Qi folded her fingers and calculated, "The entire building where we live is mine, except for our floor, all the others have been rented out, and it seems that the rent for the first to third floors should be collected in two days." β
Link: "......"
Okay.
It's that he is too naΓ―ve, and he really thinks that Xia Qi will find some serious job.
I remember that the house seemed to be within the city limits, not a remote place, a total of twelve floors!
If you rent it all out......
Capitalism of all evils!
And at this time.
The prompt from the system sounded as promised, "Found a special item, do you extract energy for absorption?" β
"Absorption."
Link breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the system can help absorb energy, otherwise it is estimated that he would not even be a one-star summoner.
As Link's thoughts fell, the ring in his hand flashed, and at the same time, a stream of pure energy converged into Link's body.
This time, with the system's shot, the energy finally failed to escape.
"What did you do, how did you run out of energy!?"
Xia Qi looked at the dull ring and exclaimed.
"Well, I didn't hold back and absorbed them all."
Link scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Or...... I'll help you work for two days and compensate you? β
