Chapter 3: The Hand of Pampering

The king carp is a reddish carp with long catfish-like whiskers and a golden crown-shaped fin on its head.

The carp king, which has a standard body length of about 0.9 meters, is an extremely weak elf with almost no offensive power!

But once the king carp evolves, it will turn over!

"The Green Caterpillar and the Carp King, these two elves are the easiest to subdue and less dangerous, but their growth potential is not inferior. ”

Zhou Yin found a flat stone by the stream and sat down, and decided to make up his mind before moving.

"King carp lives in the water, and it is difficult to catch it without a rod and bait. ”

"But if you choose a green caterpillar, you have to go into the forest......"

"Judging from the fact that the unicorn insect can kill me in an instant even if it is the weakest elf, once I enter the forest, it will be difficult for me to escape the fate of -1 death count no matter if I encounter any elf other than the green caterpillar. ”

"Unless, the green caterpillar jumps out of the forest on its own......"

Thinking like this, Zhou Yin turned his head to look at the forest behind him.

A white strand suddenly hung from a tree at the edge of the forest.

"Woo~~!!"

A green insect elf swung slowly down the thread.

The Y-shaped red antennae on the head are as bright as agate.

"What a jump!"

Zhou Yin's mood at the moment is like suddenly seeing a rabbit crashed to death on a wooden stake, not to mention how energetic!

He held his breath and quietly pulled out a Poké Ball.

"Do you just throw it over, or do you just throw it over?"

"But even if you hit it, can you really accept it so easily?"

"Or do you want to find a way to get favor first?"

Just as Zhou Yin hesitated, the green caterpillar found him.

At that moment, the green caterpillar, which was originally harmless to humans and animals, suddenly straightened its chest and stomach, and spit out a bundle of white worm silk from its mouth.

Zhou Yin reacted in time this time, but there was still one hand entangled in insect silk!

He subconsciously pulled his hand back, and the green caterpillar hung on the worm silk and had nowhere to borrow strength, and when he pulled it, it was straightened in the air.

Zhou Yin suddenly felt certain in his heart, the green caterpillar had almost no other means of attack except spinning silk, and maybe it could be subdued by using frontal hard steel?

But in the blink of an eye, a sharp birdsong suddenly sounded in the air.

A big bird with three clusters of pink feathers on its head flew down!

The big bird was extremely fast, like lightning.

The wind blade that shot out of its wings instantly cut off the worm silk on both sides of the green caterpillar, and then it grabbed it with both claws and clamped into the flesh of the green caterpillar!

After catching the green caterpillar, the big bird didn't look at Zhou Yin, flew into the air like the wind, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Obviously, in its eyes, the flesh of the green caterpillar is much more fragrant than Zhou Yin.

"Bibi Bird ......"

Zhou Yin put down his arms, but there was no timidity in his eyes, but an indescribable excitement!

"It turns out that Bibi Bird is such a powerful elf! This flight speed is not inferior even compared to those third-order war pets, or even faster! And this is just the speed of its daily predation, if you train a little......

"Pokemon", as a sub-oriented animation, is extremely insufficient in the combat power of elves other than mythical beasts, and it is easy to misunderstand that some elves are not strong enough.

But in reality, they are extremely powerful and extremely dangerous!

But if it's strong enough, it's worth it!

Zhou Yin peeled off the insect silk wrapped around his arm little by little.

As he was peeling off, he suddenly had an idea.

Isn't this worm silk just a ready-made fishing line?

Since you can't go inside the forest, make your own fishing rod and try to catch a king carp!

Zhou Yin had never fished in his previous life, but in this life he was a naughty child, proficient in fishing and shrimp.

He quickly broke off a moderately thick branch from the edge of the woods, wrapped it around worm silk, and picked up a hook-shaped stone from the brook to use as a fishhook.

Immediately afterward, he began to look for earthworms in the wet and soft area by the stream.

There are earthworms in the elven world, there is no doubt about that.

About an hour later, Zhou Yin was ready and started fishing with a homemade fishing rod.

Fishing is patience.

But Zhou Yin has already made up his mind not to die in the forest, the so-called unsuccessful will become a benevolent, if he really can't catch it, he decided to give up this mission.

Luckily, it seems that there are no penalties for daily tasks at the moment.

Time passes little by little.

Just when Zhou Yin thought that he would probably not be able to catch a fish, the fishing line moved!

Under the clear water, a red shadow faintly appeared.

It's the king of carp!

Zhou Yin jerked up his spirits.

The size of the king carp determines its great strength, although the wild king carp can basically only "splash and jump", once it is caught on land, it can basically only be rotten and wait for death, but it is not easy to catch it!

Fortunately, Zhou Yin expected this situation in advance, so he tied insect silk at the end of the fishing rod and wrapped it around a big rock behind him.

Really.

When Zhou Yin tried to lift the fishing rod, the carp king suddenly began to struggle, pulling the worm silk straight.

Relying on the big stone pressure array, Zhou Yin flexibly used the retraction and release skills to lengthen or retract the insect line along the swimming direction of the carp king, and drained its physical strength little by little.

In the face of cunning humans, the carp king, whose brain is smaller than a walnut, did not escape the fate of being caught after all.

Zhou Yin looked at the red carp king who was dragged to the land, touched his chin, and his eyes flashed.

That's it?

Oh, newbie quests!

Zhou Yin took out the Poké Ball that had been taken out countless times again, aimed it at the Carp King and threw it over.

"Smack!"

Poké Balls are bounced off!

Zhou Yin was stunned, so he simply walked to the side of the carp king, and took out a poke ball and pressed it on the door of its head.

This time, the Poké Ball finally didn't bounce off.

In a burst of red light, the Carp King was placed inside the Poké Ball.

The buttons on the Poké Ball start flashing constantly.

Once the flashing stops, it means that the subduing is successful!

However, after a few flashes, the Poké Ball bounced off with a "snap", and the Carp King escaped.

Zhou Yin: "......"

Poké Balls are consumables, and if you don't throw them, you can pick them up, but if you use them once and fail to accept them, you can't use them again.

The carp king's eyes were as dull as ever, but Zhou Yin seemed to be able to see its own rebelliousness.

Zhou Yin was silent.

This turned out to be a rare, backbone carp king!

Zhou Yin stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the head of the carp king.

The talent of the "Master of Cultivation" came into play, and he found that he could faintly feel the crippled determination of the Carp King.

There was a moment of silence.

Zhou Yin squatted down, stared at the dull eyes of the carp king, and said in a low voice: "Since you are so rebellious, then return to your own world." Forever sink in the low-level fish pond, never come into contact with the real strong, never accumulate enough experience to evolve, always be a good-for-nothing carp king, and never evolve into a domineering tyrannosaurus...... Just take your recklessness and go on like this forever!"

Then he stood up and looked up into the air.

The Bibi bird, which had captured the green caterpillar earlier, flew back at some point and was hovering in the air at high speed.

Zhou Yin lowered his head again, glanced at the carp king who was struggling in place, and turned around resolutely.

King Carp: "Click! Click!"

I don't know if he was persuaded by Zhou Yin, or if he suddenly discovered the natural enemy above his head, the carp king hurriedly screamed.

Zhou Yin continued to walk expressionlessly.

"Click, click!"

The screams grew faster and more panicked.

Zhou Yin stopped and turned around, silently stared at the carp king, and threw a poke ball out casually.

The Poké Ball fell to the ground and rolled to the Carp King's mouth.

Zhou Yin: "Do it yourself." ”

"Purr!"

Driven by an unknown will, the Carp King lowered his head and poked the Poké Ball's switch.

The red light flashed, and the Carp King was once again included in the Poké Ball.

Flickering a few times, the Poké Ball stopped moving.

......

【Ding!The mission ends.】 】

[Even if you exit the temporary dimension, the 30s countdown.] 】

[The countdown ends, and the teleportation begins.] 】

With a change of perspective, Zhou Yin found himself back in the pet store.

A lone Poké Ball fell from the sky, right in the palm of his hand.

[Congratulations on completing the Starter Quest and rewarding skill: Pet Hand.] 】

[Pet Hand: Touch pets, get information, and make them happy.] 】

【Unlock Pet: King Carp】

[System prompt: Pets have been unlocked and can be collected and sold from the system mall.] The host has the right to set its own price, but it shall not be less than 120% of the cost price. For each pet sold, the host receives 10% of the net profit, and the other 90% is used to cover the cost of pet capture, transportation, store maintenance, security, and taxes. 】

Zhou Yin: "???"

Although I want to spray people, why is there nothing to say?

Zhou Yin looked at the system information, the skill description of the Pet Hand was already very clear, excluding additional effects, this was obviously an identification skill.

He was about to release the carp king for identification, when a system prompt came from his ears again.

[System prompt: The newbie task has been completed, and the pet store is about to enter transformation mode, please leave the host temporarily.] 】

Zhou Yin: "Transformation? Do you want to transform into a Transformer?"

[System: ......]

In the next second, a white light flashed.

Zhou Yin was teleported out of the pet store.

He shrugged: "Yes, just leave work early." ”

But not long after, he suddenly screamed: "By the way, you must protect my hard drive information!"
