Chapter 1062 -1062: Qi Tests the Waters
“If the God-making Race comes looking for us, it might not necessarily be a bad thing,” Di Esi pondered and then said: “People in the Ancient Realm have always survived in the cracks, but there must be cracks to survive in.”
“That’s very risky,” Lin Shen understood what Di Esi meant but still felt it was too risky.
“We have no choice but to take risks,” Di Esi said calmly.
Lin Shen knew Di Esi was right; if they did not take risks, they could only keep hiding or flee back to the Ancient Realm, neither of which they desired.
“I think… okay…” Wei Wufu said on one side.
“Since that’s the case, we can only take it one step at a time,” Lin Shen had no choice but to agree to their plan.
The three of them discussed some details further, set up strategies for different scenarios, and then began to implement the plan. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Di Esi and Wei Wufu each used a fake identity of Shi Yuqing; although their identities were fake, they indeed existed within the Celestial Court.
The origins and backgrounds of their identities were very clean, and they had already been assigned to a planet. By implanting a certain chip in their bodies, they could also pass the Celestial Court’s body verification system.
It was easier for Wei Wufu to impersonate someone; after all, Di Esi was not a pure human being and encountered some minor difficulties. Fortunately, he did not have any obvious other characteristics; if a member of the Celestial Race had come, it would have been difficult to impersonate a Divine Being.
With just a few tricks, they covered up their less obvious features, and since then, Di Esi and Wei had become one of the Divine Beings.
Lin Shen gave them the transmission authority of his planet, so they could teleport over at any time if needed.
Crystal Charm Star was too dangerous; another planet, however, offered the opportunity to hunt Deformed Species.
Wei and Di Esi clearly didn’t plan to take this path; in the Celestial Court, hunting Deformed Species was clearly not the best strategy for acquiring resources.
They also planned to participate in the competition, but they had not yet decided which one to join.
Lin Shen himself had already decided which competition to join. The resources he currently had on hand were not bad, but raising Wine, Color, Wealth, and Qi seemed to be a bit difficult, so he planned to let them earn their own money.
Lin Shen had Xiaobai sign up for the Pet Competition in the Lower Group, letting Xiaobai test the waters first to see what level of pet it was and whether it could earn some food for itself.
The reason for choosing Xiaobai was that it was naturally timid; although it was a tiger, it was exceptionally careful and cautious. Even when it was time to nurse, it allowed its three siblings to go first to test if the milk was safe before it would take its turn.
The other three siblings were too aggressive and would fight to the death with others. In case they encountered a pet too strong to beat and got killed, that wouldn’t be good.
There had to be a buffer time to allow Lin Shen to forfeit on its behalf.
Pets are not Divine Souls; one cannot see their Attributes and can only judge their abilities and attributes based on daily experience.
Working in the Azure Sky Realm was far too relaxing for Lin Shen, practically no work at all. As he was idle, he decided to participate in the competition with Xiaobai.
“Qi, take it easy. If we can win, we fight; if we can’t, we run,” Lin Shen imparted the art of survival to Xiaobai, uncertain if it could understand.
The first trial of participating in the Pet Competition was not to fight against other pets but to pass the system’s test.
Only those who pass the test would have a chance to qualify for the competition; otherwise, they wouldn’t even be eligible to participate. The majority of the contesting pets are eliminated at this stage, with generally only about one hundred thousand pets passing the test and gaining eligibility to compete.
White Qi arrived at the testing ground, and simultaneously, a robot appeared and launched an attack on White Qi.
White Qi had never seen such a thing before and was taken aback upon seeing it, quickly retreating backwards to avoid the robot’s attack.
Lin Shen and the spectators outside the venue were a bit dumbfounded, as the robot was clearly inferior to White Qi in every aspect, but White Qi simply refused to attack and was chased all over the place in disarray.
“White Qi’s speed is really something, it must be the extreme top speed with a two hundred thousand Attribute.” Lin Shen hadn’t paid much attention before, but now he roughly judged it to be undoubtedly a top speed Attribute.
White Qi was chased around the field by the robot, which couldn’t do much to catch it, but as White Qi dared not fight back, it was forced to leap and dart around, making Lin Shen both laugh and cry at the absurdity.
This was like a mouse chasing a big cat; White Qi was exaggeratedly timid to an excessive degree.
Fortunately, over time, White Qi finally realized that this somewhat terrifying big fella didn’t seem to be anything scary at all.
Even so, it feigned many trial attempts before finally daring to make a real move, striking tentatively yet with a thunderous blow.
With just one strike, White Qi’s claws tore open the body of the robot. Wary, White Qi watched beside for a while and, seeing that the robot had fallen to the ground without the capacity to resist, approached and tore the body into several pieces.
Having passed the test, the system gave White Qi a rating of 8.7, which wasn’t a low score at all. It was difficult for the average pet to reach a score of 8 points, and based on previous experience, a score above 8 should be enough to secure a place in the competition steadily.
If it hadn’t been for White Qi running around for so long at the start, the score might have been even higher.
Lin Shen wasn’t sure whether letting this critter test the waters was the right or wrong move, as it was overly cautious.
To obtain resources for tiger food, one must at least enter the top hundred rankings to be about right, as their requirements for tiger food are too high, and ordinary resources won’t fetch much tiger food.
After White Qi came out, Lin Shen offered it some special treatment, which made little White Qi extremely happy, lying there and munching away heartily.
By the end of the registration date, when Lin Shen checked again, White Qi had indeed made it onto the main list, its first-round opponent being a white crane with a ruby-like red crest on its head.
The name of this pet was “Red-crowned Crane,” clearly named by its owner; all that was known was that it was a Lower Deformed Species, with unknown abilities.
The rating was not very high either, just 9.1, a bit higher than White Qi, but compared to those top pets with ratings of 9.8 or 9.9, it was much lesser.
“Meeting a soft target in the first round is good, it’ll let little Qi get familiar with the battle atmosphere,” Lin Shen thought to himself.
The owner of Red-crowned Crane shared the same thought as Lin Shen.
“A score of 8.7 means a weaker opponent, but that’s exactly our strategy. We’ll start with a low score, our opponents will be much weaker, and we’ll slowly climb up, and finally, make a Startling the World with a Single Brilliant Feat.” A man with a scar on his face, looking at the battle list, had a cunning look on his face.
If Lin Shen could see this man, he would be extremely surprised, because he was very familiar with him.
This scar-faced man was none other than Tu Xiaodao, who had had several encounters with Lin Shen in the past.
