Beast Tamer: After My Pet Space Mutated, I Became OP
Chapter 72: Danger is Coming
At this rate, Second Baby's hatching day isn't far off.
If Golden Yuanbao's wool is plucked well, it might even be in these two days.
Mingxi looked at the pet egg inside through the transparent glass.
Perhaps due to the hatching progress, the stony outer shell, which was originally attached to the eggshell surface and as hard as metal, was peeling off.
A small area had already revealed the original appearance of the eggshell.
It was a flowing silvery-white.
Like a lake under the moonlight, shimmering with mysterious and soft light.
A silvery-white eggshell?
What kind of species is Second Baby, exactly?
"It seems Master has encountered a problem."
Guangguang, whose main purpose was empty companionship, suddenly spoke, interrupting Mingxi's soaring thoughts.
"Hmm, you should have seen it."
She knew Guangguang could always see her situation in the outside world.
And her summoning of the Time Realm this time, besides replenishing Golden Yuanbao's energy, was to sound Guangguang out again.
After several attempts, she always felt that Guangguang was hiding something, or rather, it couldn't speak on its own initiative.
After all, many rules of the Time Realm required her to constantly explore and trigger them herself.
Just like reward duration, hatching time exchange, and so on.
"Master is as perceptive as ever."
Here it comes, here it comes.
The familiar lines are approaching with an arrogant stride!
Mingxi's heart rate quickened.
"You guessed correctly, the Time Realm does have a storage function."
Indeed.
Mingxi asked, "Does it also require reward duration exchange?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you reveal it when I asked several times before?"
If she had known earlier, she could have prepared more supplies.
"The prerequisite for enabling the storage function is that the total reward duration you've obtained exceeds 500 minutes, and this condition has just been met."
So that's how it is.
No wonder it had been so hesitant before, like a young widow who wanted to remarry but was too embarrassed to say it.
"What is the exchange ratio for the storage function?"
"The same ratio as hatching time, one hour of reward duration can be exchanged for one day of item storage time, the difference being that storage time is consistent with external time."
Doesn't this mean that as long as Golden Yuanbao or the future babies can defeat six pet beasts of the same level every day, she can always have a portable space?
She thought so, and she asked so.
She received an affirmative answer from Guangguang.
"Time Realm is awesome!"
There were too many good things to say, she wouldn't be one of the silent majority!
Before leaving, she extended Second Baby's stay for another day and exchanged for one day of storage time.
"Remaining reward duration: 53 minutes 44 seconds."
Looking at the remaining reward duration ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) of less than an hour, Mingxi felt that the group of ducks outside were waving at her.
Back in the outside world, Mingxi immediately waved her small hand, manipulating with her mind, trying to send all the fruits in front of her into the Time Realm.
The next second, the ground was empty.
Her mind moved again, and a zhuangdan fruit immediately appeared in her right hand.
"Heh heh heh."
Golden Yuanbao squatted on the girl's shoulder, looking helplessly at its Beast Tamers.
Alas, she was getting sillier and sillier.
If it were gone in the future, would such a silly person like her become homeless and without support in old age?
It made the beast worry to death.
Mingxi had no idea that Golden Yuanbao was already fantasizing about her miserable old age; she handed the zhuangdan fruit in her hand to it.
"Still eating?"
The effect of the zhuangdan fruit could last for a maximum of fifteen minutes; the previous one had already expired.
Golden Yuanbao looked at the fruit in front of it, recalled its taste, and felt a bitter sensation from its tongue to its intestines.
It couldn't help but shiver, its feathers trembling slightly. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Mingxi seemed oblivious, her curved eyebrows full of smiles, and she pushed her hand forward again.
"What's wrong? Not eating?"
Golden Yuanbao looked at her, then at the zhuangdan fruit.
As males, they must never show weakness in front of human females.
Especially since this person was its Beast Tamers.
It was just a little bitter, a little unpalatable.
Would Xiao Ye be afraid?
"Lei!"
Eat!
Its tone was like Jing Ke going to assassinate King Qin.
The aura of a desperate fight, of burning bridges, was almost materializing.
This time, it opened its mouth and swallowed the whole fruit directly, without even biting through the skin.
"Gulp."
As Golden Yuanbao swallowed, Mingxi could clearly see the rise and fall of its neck.
She was really worried it might choke to death accidentally.
Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen.
"Lei Lei."
Golden Yuanbao's expression was as profound as an abyss, indicating that it was going to continue fighting those ducks.
After saying that, it eagerly flew towards the sky, like an anti-aircraft shell launched.
Mingxi didn't reach out her hand this time.
Golden Yuanbao had rich combat experience in the wild, and its progress in training in the Time Realm during this period was even more evident.
Even without her command, it wouldn't have problems for a while.
Following it would only make her a burden.
It was better to stay put and be ready to summon Golden Yuanbao back at any time.
Before long, Guangguang's monotonous mechanical voice once again filled the screen, and by the time Mingxi summoned Golden Yuanbao back, the remaining reward duration returned to the 200-minute mark.
A full harvest.
For the rest of the day, her and Golden Yuanbao's routine was: Time Realm for energy, extending Second Baby's stay, Golden Yuanbao pinching its nose to eat zhuangdan fruit, battling Sweet Ducks, being summoned back when energy was depleted, then entering the Time Realm again...
And so the cycle continued.
It was a rhythm of vowing to pluck the Sweet Duck flock bald.
During the process, Golden Yuanbao inevitably got injured and encountered crises more than once.
For example, the leader of the Sweet Duck flock, the Hawk-Beaked Sweet Duck, who had gone to its two hundred and thirtieth concubine's family, returned.
It found its little brothers being bullied by an outsider flat-feathered bird and was immediately furious.
It chased Golden Yuanbao, launching a fierce counterattack.
But today's Golden Yuanbao was no longer the same as before; during its contract with Mingxi, it had not only grown in all aspects but also understood the importance of tactics in battle.
After a series of 'you run, I chase, you can't escape' extreme tug-of-war, even though the Hawk-Beaked Sweet Duck was an Advanced Level pet beast, and even though it had countless little brothers helping, it ultimately did not fare well.
Mingxi, on the other hand, was beaming with joy, welcoming a bountiful harvest.
Since the leader of the Sweet Duck flock had fallen, the other ducks were equivalent to the balance in Golden Yuanbao's bank account, wasn't it free for it to take as it pleased?
So delightful!
Until—
"Boom boom boom!"
Listening to the song of nature, Mingxi sat happily under a large locust tree near the riverbank, eating bananas with compressed biscuits while feeling Golden Yuanbao's energy changes.
Suddenly, her heart pounded for several seconds.
Vaguely, she felt as if she was being watched by a pair of fierce eyes.
This chilling and murderous atmosphere was like the calm before a storm, suffocating.
There are other people or Transcendent creatures here!
Mingxi calmly put down the food in her hand and quickly flipped her hands.
Upstream of the waterfall, Golden Yuanbao, who had already battled the Sweet Ducks for three hundred rounds, felt a familiar summoning force.
Its Beast Tamers must be in trouble!
Otherwise, she would never summon it back at a time like this.
It had only just come out this time.
Without resisting the summoning force, a white light flashed, and Golden Yuanbao's figure disappeared in front of the Sweet Ducks.
