Chapter 34: Tang Zu, That's Enough
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That night, Zhao Chengfeng learned everything from the team leader in charge of the Radiant Crystal district.
Especially when he found out that Li Song had subdued the gigantic Rock Tossing Lizard in the photo, the expression on his face was very interesting.
He knew that Li Song was strong enough, but he really did not expect that he could subdue the boss directly. They had also undergone experiments. It was easy to defeat a monster, but not easy to subdue them.
"I don't know if he's considering it—"
Zhao Chengfeng sat in front of his desk, thinking quietly in his mind. He had a nagging feeling that this matter was not so certain.
However, he soon put this matter to the back of his mind. The statistics of the other regions had already been published and there were many things waiting for him to handle.
"There should be news in a few days…"
With this thought in mind, Zhao Chengfeng got busy again.
That night, after clearing the instance dungeon once again, Li Song and his two beasts stayed together.
Tamed Beasts:
Bull Two: Level 11 (4875/15,000) [Blood Pact]
Zerg Five: Level 9 (3040/5000) [Blood Pact]
Rock Tossing Lizard Level 23 (0/80,000) [Master-Servant Pact]
Zerg Five still had not reached Level 10, and because the dungeon experience was automatically allocated, for the time being, it could not catch up to Bull Two. Until now, its level was still at 9, and its experience had only reached 3000. It was still a distance away from the required 5000.
Needless to say, there was still a long way to go before Bull Two could level up. It still lacked close to 10,000 experience points.
This speed was obviously not enough. Due to the appearance of the Elite-rank Rock Tossing Lizard tonight, he spent a lot of time. In the end, he did not even manage to kill a single ordinary Rock Tossing Lizard.
The only EXP gain was the 1000 EXP gained from the dungeon. Right now, it was pretty insignificant. The two beasts' leveling speed was greatly reduced.
"What a pity… I should have let Bull Two do it today."
Li Song felt a little regretful. He felt that if he killed the Rock Tossing Lizard today, he might be able to create another instance dungeon.
However, this was not necessarily the case. After all, there were a few people at the scene who secretly hid and watched for a long time. It was not certain if they could trigger the dungeon. After this cheat underwent a mutation, Li Song himself could not guess many of the conditions. Previously, there were many similar situations, but in the end, it was never triggered.
It was completely up to fate.
If he did not trigger it after killing it, wouldn't he lose a mount?
Normal Rock Tossing Lizards could not grow to this size. Since this one could be dropped as a boss, it had obviously been carefully selected. It suited him perfectly and it was convenient to do anything in the wild.
At the very least, it could become a meat shield.
"However, it's a pity that the system mentioned 'great reward'. I wonder what it is."
Such a thought popped up in Li Song's heart, and he could not help but feel a bit of pity. However, since he had already subdued it, its life was in his hands. At most, he would know when he changed mounts.
It should be similar to the "Treasure Boss" in the game. It might be useful later.
Meanwhile…
In a distant city, with a loud bang from the cannon, a giant bear that was nearly 100 feet tall fell to the ground. A few items dropped out of its exploded body, and people rushed forward to pick them up. They were stunned for a moment before their faces were filled with joy.
[Ding!]
[Detected that all elite monsters are dead!]
[The second phase of release has begun!]
[Increased the number of monsters released!]
[Every five days, Elite-rank monsters will be released!]
The mechanical and cold voice of the system sounded in everyone's mind.
"The second phase of release."
Li Song thought to himself silently. With the current number of monsters, the supply was indeed lower than the demand.
...
The next day, Li Song brought Bull Two to complete the daily training.
It was a Mythical Tamed Beast after all. Although Bull Two did not look very smart, its comprehension was definitely sufficient. Ignoring everything else, just the ground did not show any signs of cracking after running for the past few days.
Of course, Li Song himself did not relax. After thinking about it for a long time last night, Li Song finally realized something he had not considered before.
If nothing unexpected happened…
He seemed to be the weakest entity of the entire team!
In the game, monsters would not attack the Beast Tamer instead of the Tamed Beast. However, in reality, no one cared about morality. While the Blood Pact gave him strength, he also became the one in most danger.
Fortunately, [Borrow] had already reached the second level and was relatively useful in the face of dangerous situations. It was not to the extent that any Tom, Dick or Harry could kill him. After all, he ran very quickly…
Soon, they had breakfast.
Recently, Zerg Five's culinary skills had improved tremendously. Having recorded thousands of recipes in its mind, it finally began to adjust its taste buds on its own. It was no longer limited to just using a few grams or a few milliliters of oil as stated in the recipe. It had finally walked its own path.
This made Li Song very happy. He could eat several big bowls of rice now.
Under Bull Two's urging, Li Song contacted the owner of the motorcycle once again. After arranging the location, he headed over.
Very quickly, they arrived at the place. It was on a street and there were a lot of people. In the past few days, the shops had gradually resumed their business.
It was obvious that the other party was not very assured about choosing such a place. At the very least, they were very cautious. Although the Night Suppression Division was established, there were still people who took risks. Many wealthy people had been keeping a low profile recently, afraid of being targeted and dying.
The phone rang and a female voice came from the other end, "Are you here?"
"We're here."
Li Song looked around and then looked at Bull Two who was waiting anxiously beside him. He said helplessly, "We are at the roadside now. There is a Tauren standing beside me. It is very tall. You should be able to see it."
"So that's you. I'll be right there."
After saying that, Li Song heard the sound of a car starting up.
A minute later, a truck drove over and stopped beside Li Song.
A woman wearing sunglasses and a mask alighted from the car. She looked at Li Song and asked, "Li Song?"
"It's me, Miss Tang."
A hint of surprise appeared on Li Song's face. Although most of the girl's face was covered, he could still see that her skin was fair and her appearance was definitely not bad.
However, a girl like her knew how to protect herself. From the driver's seat, a burly man walked down. He was almost as tall as Bull Two and had a hot aura around him. Although he looked fierce, his looks were not inferior.
After getting out of the car, the man stared at Li Song like a wolf looking at a tiger. When he saw Bull Two beside him, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he quickly hid it and asked: "You're the one who wants to buy it? Are you paying with experience points?"
"Yeah."
Li Song could tell that the young man in front of him was the person in charge of this transaction. He asked: "Can we take a look at the motorcycle first?"
"Sure." Tang Zu did not waste any time and walked to the back of the carriage. Li Song followed.
Bull Two was an existence that stood out from the crowd. At this moment, there were already quite a number of people paying attention to them.
Li Song heard the whispers around him.
"It's Tang Zu!"
"It's really him!"
"He's ranked 11th in Shanghai. His Blazing Wolf Beast is very strong. I've seen the video before!"
"I didn't expect to see him here."
"Who's that person opposite him? That Tauren doesn't look weak either?"
"I don't know."
Li Song raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect to meet a contestant on the rankings board just by buying a motorcycle. No wonder he had an "I'm super strong" expression.
The back of the truck opened.
The space inside was huge, but at this moment, it was filled by a heavy motorcycle. The pure black vehicle was nearly 2.5 meters long and one meter wide. Eight exhaust pipes were arranged in an orderly manner, and two large lights were placed in front of it. The bottom plate was not low, nor was it a streamlined body. It looked like a steel beast, full of the strength and retro feel of a muscle car.
Li Song did not know much about motorcycles, but he could tell that this one was expensive.
On the other hand, Bull Two, who often watched driving videos, let out a "moo" with its eyes glowing.
Raptor 1000!
Following that, Bull Two turned its head and looked at Li Song.
Li Song felt helpless. Why did he feel like he had brought along a brat? He said: "Let's test drive it."
Tang Zu was halfway through his sentence, "Wait, this is very heavy…"
The black Tauren stretched out its body and easily "brought" the motorcycle down.
It was not carried with difficulty.
Just like lifting a plate from a table, a Raptor 1000 weighing 800kg was brought out of the truck.
This…
Tang Zu secretly swallowed his saliva as he recalled the scene where he could barely straighten his back while carrying it…
Tang Xi had been standing behind. When she saw the scene in front of her, she opened her mouth slightly and her eyes under the sunglasses flickered.
Li Song asked, "What did you just say?"
Tang Zu waved his hand. "Erm… nothing."
Li Song laughed in his heart. How would the two of them know that the weight that Bull Two wore every day was more than 2000 kilograms. After the data was altered, the potential in its body was almost limitless. Recently, it had already gotten used to the weight of 2000 kilograms.
Especially after last night, although its level had not increased, its strength had indeed increased.
Let alone a motorcycle, as long as it wanted to, it could even carry a heavy truck!
Bull Two had even more thoughts in its mind. Its talent had yet to be activated. Its master said that it was because its potential was too high. The talent, which was supposed to awaken naturally, had instead become locked. It had to leave the protection zone in two days, hopefully, it would awaken by then.
After placing the motorcycle on the ground, Bull Two directly stepped onto it. However, it was surprisingly suitable. Its body was huge to begin with, and coupled with the fact that its body proportions were not very good, it was surprisingly fitting…
If it was too tall, it would make the motorcycle seem too small…
Tang Xi, who was following behind, said, "I haven't driven this bike since I bought it. I only do some maintenance occasionally. It's just for collection."
It seemed like she was still reluctant.
"This motorcycle is yours?"
"Yeah."
Li Song was a little surprised. He wanted to ask if her feet could touch the ground, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he confirmed: "50 experience points, no problem, right?"
"Yeah."
Seeing how happy Bull Two was, Li Song did not hesitate anymore. He opened the system forum and directly transferred 50 experience points to Tang Xi.
Fifty experience points was nothing to him. He earned more than that every day in the dungeon. He had not checked how expensive the motorcycle was, but it should be worth hundreds of thousands, right?
It was definitely not a loss.
It did not matter even if he lost points. He would just treat it as buying a toy for Bull Two.
After the transaction was completed, Li Song bade farewell to the two.
Bull Two was definitely not stupid. After watching the videos and learning for a few days, it actually rode the bike successfully. It seemed like it was quite capable.
"Moo!" (Get in!)
Li Song originally wanted to say that he would drive it himself, but seeing Bull Two's expression, he did not mention it and just sat behind.
With their strength and reaction speed, it was hard for anything to happen to them.
Tang Xi was kind-hearted. There was still some fuel in the motorcycle and fuel was priceless now. Most of the fuel was controlled by the army. Li Song would have to ask someone for it later.
They watched as Li Song and his beast left.
Tang Zu fell into deep thought.
So Tamed Beasts could be used like this?!
Beast Tamer Driver (×)
Tamed Beast Driver (√)
That ugly cow did not look very smart, but it was surprisingly intelligent.
In the car.
"Sis, this person isn't simple."
Tang Zu said to Tang Xi, "He's not an ordinary person. He can pay 50 experience points at this time without changing his expression…"
"I know."
Tang Xi took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face. She was not an ignorant person. If she still could not see this, she would have lived in vain. "Qingqing has been trembling."
In her arms, a white hamster-like creature crawled out. Even now, it still had some lingering fear, its large eyes looking around.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The Tauren actually had the aura of a mythical being on its body! It only used its ability to slightly check and was almost killed by the shock. It was as if it could vaguely see a Demon God stepping out from purgatory!
How was that possible? It was just a small Abyssal Tauren. It was like an ant at its peak, yet it had such a terrifying aura!
Tang Xi also looked thoughtful.
Although the Tamed Beast she obtained was not strong, it was very arrogant. Usually, when her younger brother's Blazing Wolf Beast saw it, it would tuck its tail between its legs and behave like a wolf.
She did not expect that an ordinary person's beast could make it so scared.
Tang Zu was very curious. He could tell that the Abyssal Tauren's strength was definitely not ordinary. Even the man who smiled very kindly gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
He would go back and check. He remembered that none of the powerful top rankers had an Abyssal Tauren as their beast pet.
That night, Tang Zu searched for the information of someone who possessed an Abyssal Tauren in the Night Suppression Division.
Soon, A phone rang. The caller's voice was very soft, as if he was talking about some secret matter.
"Tang Zu, that's enough!"
Tang Zu had a strange look in his eyes, "What do you mean?"
The voice on the other end was very low, "I heard that you're investigating that person?"
"Don't investigate further."
"…"
Tang Zu's expression became more and more interesting as he listened to the caller.
The call ended.
Tang Zu's expression became even more interesting when he saw his captain's message.
...
Forget the rest, at this moment Li Song sat in a spacious office.
On the opposite side, Zhao Chengfeng's expression was similarly brilliant.
"So…"
"You spent so much effort to find my IP address just to buy gasoline from me?"
