17 Chapter 14: So Green, I’m Panicking, Feicui’s Skills are Suitable for the Boiler Room
Translator: 549690339
At the critical moment…
Chen Fan tightly gripped the fishing spear and stabbed it forcefully into the ground!
“Crack, crack, crack!”
The spear deeply pierced into the ground.
But the power of “Gale” still dragged Chen Fan two meters towards the edge of Sinking Star River.
The spear plowed a deep trench in the ground!
“Bang!”
Chen Fan’s feet landed on the ground.
At the same time, a series of breaking air sounds had already resounded behind him!
Chen Fan didn’t think, he let go of the spear and pounced forward, falling to the ground!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
A series of fierce and domineering water guns flew over Chen Fan.
Chen Fan flipped over and looked up…
A series of water bubbles were flying towards him!
“Water Bubble Bomb!”
Chen Fan’s scalp went numb, and he rushed forward rolling and crawling.
Not only him, but Snowy and the Jade Slime also rushed out a certain distance in swishes.
Behind them, the water bubbles exploded one after another, making a continuous rumbling sound!
Chen Fan’s face turned black…
He had been so careful, yet he almost got turned into a sieve!
This damned slime…
Chen Fan looked down and saw that the Jade Slime didn’t run away again but blinked its small eyes, looking at him timidly.
“Squeak…”
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
Jade Slime spoke a foreign language to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan nodded slightly: “Mmm, all you said… Mmm… I don’t understand.”
Jade Slime: “…”
Chen Fan: “But it’s strange, I can probably guess what you mean… Just now you blew me away with Gale, just an unconscious reaction, not wanting to blow me into the river, right?”
“Squeak squeak, squeak squeak squeak!” Jade Slime nodded.
So intelligent…
And quite kind-hearted.
Chen Fan stroked his chin.
This Jade Slime could understand what he was saying even without signing a contract?
“Meow!”
Little Snowy on the side roared a few times, seemingly very dissatisfied with Jade Slime’s move just now.
Because just now, Chen Fan was almost turned into a brush by that group of Blue Scaled Demonic Fish due to Jade Slime’s move!
Jade Slime immediately curled up into a ball.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Snowy, don’t be angry, it didn’t do it on purpose.”
Chen Fan crouched down in front of Jade Slime: “Okay, I forgive you, let’s talk about the main issue…”
“I want to sign a contract with you, are you willing?”
“Squeak…” Jade Slime’s voice was very low, looking flustered.
Chen Fan looked at Jade Slime’s attribute panel and said with a smile, “By signing a contract with me, you can use my Beastmaster’s Space for cultivation… Highly intelligent monsters should all know this.”
“When I have money later, I can buy you Explosive Bee Honey, Purple Berries, 3rd level and above demon beast meat, and Purple Blood Tree Leaves…”
“These should be what you need.”
Chen Fan didn’t know if Jade Slime understood or not, but he saw the status on the attribute panel change from “Panicked” to “Hesitant”.
There’s a chance!
Chen Fan continued to tempt: “I can help you improve your Combat Power Level and Species Level.”
“Look at my Snowy, this morning, she was only Level 1, after we caught a few Blue Scaled Demonic Fish together, I raised her Combat Power Level to Level 2.”
As he spoke, Chen Fan mentally communicated with the Beastmaster’s Space, allowing Snowy to enter the space from the Hexagram Array and brought out a few freshly grilled Blue Scaled Demonic Fishes.
The aroma of grilled fish immediately diffused.
Jade Slime stared intently at the grilled fish!
Chen Fan’s mouth curled into a slight smile.
In Jade Slime’s attribute panel, one of the [Monster’s Likes] was… eating fish!
But the fish in the Sinking Star River were not herbivores!
With Jade Slime’s low attack power, even if it wandered along the river every day, it wouldn’t be easy to eat the fish in the river!
Chen Fan watched as the “Hesitant” status on Jade Slime’s attribute panel changed to “Drooling” and immediately signaled Snowy to step back, then communicated with the Beastmaster’s Space.
Two Six-pointed Star Arrays flanked Chen Fan and Jade Slime in the middle.
As soon as the two arrays were activated, the “Beastmaster System” prompt popped up…
[Beastmaster’s Space is open, do you want to sign a contract with Jade Slime?]
Chen Fan clicked “yes”.
As his fingertip dropped a drop of blood, the Six-pointed Star Array spun, and a white paper burning with a golden flame appeared.
The contract appeared…
Jade Slime glanced at the contract and then at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan smiled faintly, trying his best to appear “gentle and amiable,” and said, “Guardian Beasts and Guardian Beastmasters are soul partners who help each other grow.”
“As long as we sign a contract, I can give you what you want.”
“Thousands of years later, if I become a legend, you will surely be in my legend;”
“Thousands of years later, if you become a legend, then I hope… I will also be in your legend.”
Jade Slime blinked, and its water droplet-like body condensed a little hand, gently tapping on the contract.
The contract was successfully signed!
The state on Jade Slime’s attribute panel changed to “Joyful”.
Its gaze towards Chen Fan became much closer.
Chen Fan crouched on the ground, gently touching Jade Slime with his fingers, “From now on, you’ll be called Feicui.”
“Hmm!” Feicui rubbed Chen Fan’s finger with her head.
At this time, Snowy crawled over and curiously pressed Feicui’s body with her claws.
“Squeak!”
Feicui was startled and jumped directly onto Chen Fan’s head.
Chen Fan, who was squatting on the ground, now had a green hat on his head…
“…”
Chen Fan rolled his eyes, stood up, and took Feicui off his head: “Don’t be afraid, Snowy means no harm to you. She just wants to play with you.”
After being reassured by his words, Feicui’s emotions finally stabilized, and she was no longer afraid of Snowy.
At this moment, Chen Fan felt as if a current was flowing through his body…
Feicui’s Jade Slime power was coming!
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Chen Fan’s bones crackled all over his body.
The mighty Star Power circulated rapidly inside his body.
The power fed back from two level 2 Guardian Beasts converged, making him want to howl at the sky!
In the midst of this, Chen Fan felt that if he had someone to instruct him, or a correct cultivation method, he should be able to easily break through to the first-grade realm…
“No rush, a couple of days won’t make a difference.”
“After this assessment is over, I’ll enter the academy and study. I’m bound to learn some cultivation methods.”
“Hopefully, I can break through to the first-grade realm in one go!”
Just as he was thinking about entering the academy, Chen Fan looked down and couldn’t help but purse his lips…
Snowy and Feicui were each holding a grilled fish and eating away!
These two foodies…
“Eat up, but after you finish that fish, come catch some with me.”
Chen Fan said somewhat resentfully: “I was almost killed by those Blue Scaled Demonic Fish just now… We don’t need to change locations. Let’s just stay here and wipe them all out today!”
“Uh-huh!” Snowy nodded at Chen Fan, then continued to eat her grilled fish.
Chen Fan turned his gaze to Feicui.
When it comes to catching fish, it seems like Feicui won’t be of much help.
Feicui’s skills are “Gale” and “Gliding Wing”…
“Gliding Wing” is self-explanatory, it has no offensive power and is just an escape skill. However, it’s only useful if you’re high up; if you’re on flat ground, it’s useless.
As for “Gale,” it’s also quite weak…
Earlier, Feicui opened her mouth and blew out a gust of wind, which lifted Chen Fan and sent him flying for some distance.
How does this Combat Power Level work exactly?
No matter what, Feicui is already at level 2, right?
Also, the power she fed back to him just now wasn’t much weaker than Snowy’s, was it?
Why are her attack skills so weak?
Is it because her skill proficiency is too low?
Chen Fan pondered for a moment and spoke to Feicui through mental communication: “Feicui, when you used Gale to blow me earlier, you didn’t use your full strength, did you?”
Feicui put down her fish bones: “No…no.”
Chen Fan pointed to his left and said, “Try using ‘Gale’ with your full strength now.”
Feicui blinked, crawled to Chen Fan’s feet, and then opened her mouth wide, releasing a burst of white air…
“Whoosh!”
A violent wind rose, kicking up sand and rocks!
“…”
Chen Fan was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, it was much stronger than before.
But if they were to use this move to attack people or monsters, it can only serve as a distraction at best and would be difficult to cause injury.
The coverage area of “Gale” is too wide, and the power seems to be dispersed everywhere.
If the same amount of power were used to create a wind blade, it could instantly cut a large tree in half.
For “Gale” to be useful, it would have to develop further, becoming a tornado, or a storm – otherwise, at this level, it’s not very helpful.
Seeing Chen Fan frown, Feicui lowered her head in shame.
Chen Fan hurriedly reassured her: “Alright, you don’t need to feel bad about yourself. You’re actually pretty amazing.”
“Squeak!” Feicui puffed out her chest proudly.
Chen Fan: “If you were to burn a boiler, this skill would be quite popular.”
Feicui: “┭┮﹏┭┮”
Chen Fan: “I’ll study it some more when we go back. With a Combat Power Level of 2, your attack power shouldn’t be this weak. I suspect you’re not using this skill properly. I can help you improve your skills…but right now, I have too little energy. We can talk about it when I have more energy.”
“If this skill isn’t well-practiced, it’s just like a fan.”
“But if this skill is mastered, it could become ‘Divine Star Judgment’.”
Feicui blinked her eyes.
She could understand the first half of what he said.
The second half, she had no idea what he meant.
Chen Fan: “For now, let’s go catch some fish.”
“Squeak!” Feicui excitedly jumped up, landing back on Chen Fan’s head after hearing about catching fish.
Seeing this, Snowy felt a little jealous and leaped into the air, landing in Chen Fan’s embrace.
“…” Chen Fan blinked his eyes.
Sigh, Feicui really was…urgent green.
Nevermind, just treat it as a hat. It seemed quite refreshing under the big sun.
There’s no one around here anyway.
First, let’s go catch some fish!
Today, I must take my revenge!
I only crossed over a few hours ago, and I almost got killed by a group of fish. This is unbearable!
“Hit them!”
“Catch the fish!”
Snowy waved her little claws, her fighting spirit surging!
