Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 96 Xiao Jiu: I’ve Become a Capitalist?
Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Xiao Jiu: I’ve Become a Capitalist?
In the time that followed, aside from his training, Chen Mo would think about what wish to make for the month.
During this period, he discovered that when he silently chanted a wish, he could vaguely sense the probability of it coming true.
That was pretty nice.
At least he wouldn’t have to make a wish blindly like a blind man feeling an elephant; he could try several times to find the right wish.
"Directly acquire a mythical creature bloodline suitable for Xiao Jiu!"
Chen Mo silently chanted in his heart.
No response.
This meant the probability of the wish coming true was zero.
"Master a high-level technique."
Chen Mo quickly switched his wish.
Soon, he felt a vague sensation that this wish had a small probability of coming true.
"A purple entry just for this? Even mastering a high-level technique is just a small probability!"
Chen Mo sighed.
The "Wish-making White Fox" entry didn’t seem as impressive as imagined.
"I wonder if I can use wishing to control the refresh of the entries."
Chen Mo suddenly thought, and then began trying again.
"My wish is to have the permission to ’edit’ entries!"
No response.
"All the entries refreshed next month are what I want."
Extremely small probability of coming true.
"All the entries refreshed next week are related to enhancing the power of fire-type techniques!"
Small probability of coming true.
"All the daily challenges refreshed tomorrow are suitable entries for Blazing Flame Fox or Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit."
High probability of coming true.
"The next two days... all are suitable entries."
High probability of coming true.
"The next 3 days..."
Small probability of coming true.
Chen Mo gradually changed the standards of his wishes, as if he had found the correct way to open the "Wish-making White Fox"!
"The entries needed for 3 days, you’re the one!"
Chen Mo wasn’t a reckless gambler, so in the end, he chose the most stable wish.
"High probability plus my luck bonus, it shouldn’t backfire, right?"
————————————
The next morning, the first thing Chen Mo did upon waking was check the daily challenge.
Hard as a Rock (White)
Smash 100 pieces of 8cm thick red bricks with your fists. (Spirit Master Challenge)
Entry effect: Locally reinforces a body part to make it hard. (Can enhance released techniques)
Beginner-level Knife Skills (White)
Use a knife to cut 100 different ingredients.
Entry effect: Basic mastery of knife skills.
Magical Girl (Fire) (Green)
Learn a new fire-type technique.
Entry effect: Slightly increase the speed of learning fire-type techniques.
The wish came true!
All three entries were suitable for their own spirit beasts!
Hard as a Rock could increase the bullet hardness for Tuantuan’s Dumpling Machine Gun, thereby increasing its power. Knife Skills would improve Tuantuan’s culinary skills, and Magical Girl (Fire) would enhance Xiao Jiu’s speed in learning fire-type techniques.
Chen Mo chose Magical Girl (Fire), planning to use the entry reappearance feature to refresh the other two entries back.
He wanted all three entries!
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly felt an itch on his arm. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Opening his eyes, sure enough, it was Xiao Jiu, the furry kid, rubbing his fluffy head back and forth.
"What’s up?"
Looking at the somewhat excited Blazing Flame Fox, Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Chirp!" (It seems like my wish power has increased!)
Xiao Jiu was excited yet slightly puzzled.
It clearly hadn’t helped anyone fulfill a wish yesterday, but upon waking up, it realized that its wish power had increased a bit compared to yesterday!
"There’s such a good thing?"
Could it be that the previous assumption was wrong? That the growth of wish power doesn’t require fulfilling others’ wishes?
Chen Mo didn’t have a clue for the time being, but in any case, it was a good thing.
Maybe someday Xiao Jiu would wake up and find its wish power met the evolution requirement, and it would directly evolve, which would be even better.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Chen Mo had breakfast while browsing the news.
Then he saw reports related to the Wish-making White Fox.
After completing the challenge, Chen Mo "stopped," but the news about the Wish-making White Fox continued to escalate.
On popular video sites such as Sound Wave and cilicili, many famous internet celebrities and big bloggers posted their "encounters" with the Wish-making White Fox.
Of course, the Wish-making White Fox they encountered wasn’t the one played by Chen Mo; they must have invited people to act as it for clout.
Their size and appearance had certain differences, and some were even illusions created by super ability type spirit beasts.
At this point, Chen Mo suddenly thought—
Could Xiao Jiu’s increase in wish power be due to others playing the Wish-making White Fox!?
Since Xiao Jiu was the source of the "Urban Legend White Fox," did others playing the Wish-making White Fox count as part of Xiao Jiu’s wish power when fulfilling wishes?
"Chirp!"
Xiao Jiu said it suddenly experienced the joy of being a capitalist.
It was great—doing nothing every day, while the "working people" below worked hard to make you money.
———————————————
After breakfast, Chen Mo first bought 120 pieces of 8cm red bricks, then bought a bunch of ingredients.
He started refreshing challenges.
The Hard as a Rock challenge was pretty easy for him to complete.
With Chen Mo’s current physique, breaking red bricks with a punch was effortless.
———————————————
Time slipped away quietly, and it was soon Saturday.
After an all-nighter of cultivation yesterday, Chen Mo, thanks to "Absolute Sleep," was once again fully energized after 1 hour.
With this entry, it was like extending his lifespan.
Because yesterday She Lei asked everyone in the group to meet at the Daoist School today, Chen Mo came to the Thunderbolt Daoist School after breakfast.
At the entrance of the Thunderbolt Daoist School hung a "Closed for Business" sign.
At this moment within the Daoist School, besides She Lei, were a few unfamiliar faces.
It was Chen Mo’s first time seeing other senior brothers and sisters who had been cultivating in the Spirit Realm.
The second senior brother was a muscle man, his robust muscles seemed like they could burst through his white tank top at any moment. The third senior sister was a typical Jiangnan girl, with delicate features that looked very gentle, and her soft-spoken nature. After a year of training in the Spirit Realm, her main spirit beast had also reached the Commander Stage.
The fourth and fifth senior brothers were twins, and perhaps by coincidence or design, their spirit beasts, Electric Light Mole Rats, were also twins.
He had met the eldest senior brother and the sixth senior sister many times.
"This year’s National Daoist School Tournament will take place the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone will put in a good effort and strive for our Daoist School to advance in level this year."
Today, She Lei wore a white linen outfit, looking very spirited and capable, as he spoke with a cheerful smile.
"Master, it’s mainly going to depend on you."
The second senior brother joked.
"All you have to do is clap when the time comes."
She Lei said rather confidently.
"Alright, let’s cut to the chase. I’ve got the preliminary competition info for the disciple competition ahead of time. I’ve already sent it to the group, so take a look yourselves. Don’t embarrass our Daoist School by failing the preliminary rounds."
Normally, the preliminary competition content is only announced on the day of the tournament, but most Daoist School Masters have their own connections to learn in advance.
Chen Mo opened the document, Tuantuan drifted over, and Xiao Jiu also stuck its head over.
Chen Mo was speechless. Why are you two illiterates getting into it?
Preliminary round first event: Assassins and Civilians
Event location: Mechanical Maze
Number of participants: 200 (including 10 Assassins and 190 Civilians)
Event content: The system will randomly assign participants the identity of an Assassin or a Civilian. After the event begins, Civilians enter the Mechanical Maze first. Successful escape is achieved by finding a randomly refreshed Mechanical Key and opening the door at the exit.
Assassins enter the maze 3 minutes later to "hunt" Civilians, and defeating all the Civilians’ spirit beasts means a successful "hunt". Successfully "hunting" 3 Civilians means successful advancement.
When the total number of escaped Civilians and Assassins who complete their hunt reaches 10, the event concludes.
