Chapter 118: What Does It Mean to Be a Professional?
“How long has it been sleeping?” Wang Ye looked at the little fellow.
So while the other pets had been training just now, this little fellow had been sleeping?
“Roar...” At this moment, the bear king pointed at the sword rabbit, then at Wang Ye.
“I understand what you mean. You want me to take this little fellow away?” Wang Ye suddenly understood, “Train it?”
“Roar!” The bear king nodded.
“Why?” Wang Ye was puzzled.
He looked at the sword rabbit. Its four limbs looked shorter than normal cubs, and it didn’t seem to be growing well.
Moreover, its aura was not strong.
“Roar...”
The bear king sighed and began to tell Wang Ye about the sword rabbit.
It turned out that the sword rabbit was quite troublesome.
The bear king had been cultivating by the Ziluo River one day when it suddenly saw a bamboo basket. In the bamboo basket was this small sword rabbit.
The bear king had a kind heart, so it took the rabbit in.
......
It had taken in many cubs, so one more was not too much anyway. In any case, although Tianxian Gorge wasn’t rich in resources, its internal ecology was closed. As long as there was no external damage, a few pet cubs wouldn’t be able to destroy the ecological environment.
Besides, the bear king thought that its training abilities weren’t bad.
After all, it had trained many pet cubs over the years.
That all changed when it met this sword rabbit.
Ever since the sword rabbit was of a sensible age, it had been fine at the beginning and had trained very hard.
However, not long after, its personality began to become lazy. It either slept when it had nothing to do, or it would just stay in its nest and stare into space.
Under the bear king’s supervision, the sword rabbit would train occasionally, but it tended to go in fits and starts.
As such, its growth was extremely poor.
It was already one year old now, yet it was only at four-star level 1, and it didn’t know any skills at all.
Its health was also extremely poor.
“Roar! Roar!” The bear king began to cry bitterly as it spoke.
“...” Wang Ye.
These days, for the sake of this sword rabbit, it couldn’t even eat or drink well.
Usually, it would stop some beastmasters who came here to train. After a brief observation of their character, it would try to get those who it found to be not bad to take in the sword rabbit through a contract.
It attempted to get the professional beastmasters to nurture the pet.
Obviously, as long as the beastmaster wasn’t blind, they wouldn’t sign a contract with a pet like this...
After all, no one wanted a pet with a lazy personality and low potential.
“Roar!” Speaking up to this point, the bear king began to talk about the sword rabbit’s strengths.
Although the sword rabbit was very lazy, the bear king found it quite talented and had a strong learning ability.
When it had first taken in the sword rabbit, the latter had seen a saber-toothed tiger perform a skill.
After only seeing the skill once, it immediately learned an intermediate skill, Mountain-crushing Kick.
Later on... because the sword rabbit hadn’t used the skill for too long, it forgot it.
After hearing this...
“...” Wang Ye.
So, the sword rabbit was quite talented. It was just a little lazy. The bear king let out a few confident cries.
“Roar...” The bear king sighed and continued telling Wang Ye about its hardships.
In fact, over the past year, there were occasionally beastmasters who only cared about looks. They had tried to take the sword rabbit away.
Unfortunately, the little fellow had been too lazy to even leave.
So...
“So, you want me to give it a try,” Wang Ye pointed at the rock, “If I succeed, you’ll give this thing to me.”
As expected, there was no such thing as a free treasure in this world.
The bear king nodded and waved its paw, indicating “tell me what else you want, and I’ll fulfill it”.
“It’s been hard on you!” Wang Ye patted the bear king’s thigh.
It was not easy to take care of so many pet cubs.
“Sword rabbit...” Wang Ye glanced at the little fellow.
It was still sleeping.
“It seems okay. Although there is a problem with it, it is not a problem for me. Moreover, its attributes are also alright. Not only can it fight, but it can also use a sword.”
Wang Ye thought about it.
The main thing was that he found it quite pleasing to the eye.
It was indeed quite good-looking.
The sword rabbit’s general appearance was 50-60% similar to the Scorbunny from Pokemon. It was just that it didn’t have the fire attribute, and there were some sky-blue patterns on its fur.
Especially the wooden sword on its back... It reminded Wang Ye of the Blue Rabbit from the Story of Hongmao and Lantu.
“I’ll try, then?” Wang Ye jumped onto the huge rock, walked over, and poked the sword rabbit.
“Mi...” The sword rabbit turned over, seemingly unwilling to wake up.
Wang Ye touched the sword rabbit.
[The pet information has been detected. Please set the final evolution form to simulate.]
[Currently, the pet’s heart is sealed, unable to simulate.]
“...” Wang Ye.
The bear king walked over and cried out, “Roar!”
It was time to eat!
The sword rabbit’s ears twitched and immediately moved away from its eyes. It woke up with a start and looked around.
However, it only saw a human. It glanced at Wang Ye, shook its head in disappointment, and fell back asleep.
“The characteristic has failed?” Wang Ye was stunned.
He immediately felt that something was wrong.
His Natural Divine Power had failed on a Transcendent class pet cub?
Interesting.
Wang Ye looked at the bear king.
The bear king scratched its head and spread its paws, meaning that it didn’t have another way either.
“Hmm...” Wang Ye muttered, “Alright, then I’ll try it myself.”
He began to ponder.
According to the bear king, the sword rabbit didn’t have a good personality.
It was lazy and shut-in.
Moreover, its background was a mystery. Its parents might have been long gone.
Then...
“Speaking of which, what was I in my past life... I was an unknown writer,” Wang Ye began to close his eyes and ponder.
Deep Memory was activated. Bit by bit, he began to quickly recall the memories of his past life.
After cultivating the talent of Deep Memory, not only could Wang Ye recall the memories of his current body, but he could also recall his past memories.
For example, the anime he watched when he was young, the text he read in kindergarten, and so on...
All in all, it was alright.
The S-soul growth made Wang Ye’s brain work very quickly. In just a moment, he already had an idea.
“In the past...” Wang Ye’s voice was clear as he slowly said, “There was a little sword rabbit. It lived with its parents since it was young, leading a peaceful life.”
The sword rabbit’s ears twitched.
Seeing this, Wang Ye continued, “Every day after it wakes up, the little sword rabbit would see its father and mother. Then, papa and mama sword rabbit would train and play with the little sword rabbit. Papa sword rabbit even specially made a wooden sword for the little sword rabbit. The little sword rabbit was very happy. At night, papa and mama sword rabbit will tell stories and sleep with the little sword rabbit. Life was very fulfilling.”
“Until one day, a group of mysterious fierce beasts intruded into their lives and injured papa and mama sword rabbit... Papa and mama sword rabbit protected the little sword rabbit with their lives, leading the little sword rabbit to escape. Finally, they came to a mysterious canyon and placed the little sword rabbit in a bamboo basket. They sent the bamboo basket along the river in the canyon, then, they were caught by the group of fierce beasts not long after, their life and deaths unknown.”
The sword rabbit’s ears began to tremble.
“The little sword rabbit came to the canyon. It was taken in by a warm and honest big black bear. However, it missed its parents every moment and hated the fierce beasts that destroyed its life. It wanted to cultivate and become stronger. In the beginning, it was very diligent.”
“Unfortunately, it found that there seemed to be something strange about it. Whenever it learned a skill, it would quickly forget it. The spiritual energy it absorbed would also flow away, and its cultivation speed was extremely slow. As time passed, it felt that it hadn’t improved at all. Wanting to become stronger seemed to have become a dream.”
“As a result, it began to get increasingly lazy and was less and less interested in cultivating. It also didn’t like to talk to other pets, and it often went into a daze when it had nothing to do.”
Hearing this, the sword rabbit’s ears moved from its eyes, and it opened its eyes. It cried fiercely at Wang Ye twice, “Mi! Mi!”
Don’t continue! Wasn’t this human talking about it?!
The bear king glanced at Wang Ye, thinking to itself, “Ah, human beastmasters are truly amazing.”
Wang Ye ignored the sword rabbit and continued, “As the days passed, the little sword rabbit became more and more uncommunicative, but the warm and honest big black bear still took care of it every day. When the little sword rabbit thought this was all it could ever be, a group of fierce beasts suddenly charged into the canyon one day. The big black bear hid the little sword rabbit well and walked out. Then, the fierce beasts caught the big black bear and killed the big black bear in front of the little sword rabbit that was hiding.”
The bear king was speechless.
Bean-sized sweat flowed down the bear king’s face.
The word ‘speechless’ was written all over its face.
However, it did admire this human’s ability to spout nonsense.
Putting everything else aside, just look at the sword rabbit’s energetic appearance.
It had never been like this before!
“The little sword rabbit that was hiding at the side was burning with rage! Tears kept flowing down its face, and it began to regret why it didn’t work hard in training back then. It hated itself for coming to this place. It wanted to rush out, but its years of laziness and weak body made it not have the courage to go out and die. At this moment, it not only hated those fierce beasts but also hated its own incompetence and cowardice.”
Hearing this, the sword rabbit’s eyes were already red, feeling as if the story was just about itself.
Its sleepiness was all gone.
“The little sword rabbit that had been hid in a hole began to dig its way out. It swore that it must survive and it must become stronger. It wanted revenge! It picked up the wooden sword that its father had made for it and began to dig. It kept digging. It successfully got out, but also fainted.”
At this time, not only the sword rabbit, but the other pet cubs were also listening with great interest. Some of them even had tears in their eyes.
Wang Ye continued, “When it woke up again, it saw a human, a handsome human.”
Wang Ye nodded.
He almost put arrows on himself saying that the “handsome human” was himself.
“This human was very powerful. He seemed to have a mysterious power that can rapidly increase the strength of his pets. With the help of this human beastmaster, the little sword rabbit was surprised to find that it was actually starting to grow stronger! When it used the wooden sword and unleashed the sword technique that papa sword rabbit had been very proud of, the Earth-shattering Wave Sword, the little sword rabbit was so excited that it couldn’t sleep for several nights.”
“...” The bear king.
“Wowowo!” The pet cubs let out excited cries.
The sword rabbit listened even more attentively.
“Until one day,” Wang Ye continued, “The little sword rabbit met a fierce beast, and it recognized this fierce beast. It was one of the fierce beasts that had destroyed the lives of it and its parents!!”
At this point, Wang Ye stopped.
The pet cubs stared at Wang Ye as if they were waiting to be fed.
The sword rabbit was staring at Wang Ye hard, “Mi!!”
What happened next?
The bear king also looked at Wang Ye and let out a roar.
The story was quite interesting. It was also curious about what happened next.
“That’s it,” Wang Ye said.
“...” The bear king.
“...” The sword rabbit.
“Well, that’s it. I should go now,” Wang Ye said casually.
“Mi!!” The sword rabbit was anxious.
Just like that?
At least finish talking!
The sword rabbit walked to Wang Ye’s side and let out a few soft cries. It stretched out its small cute paws and tugged at his pants.
Seeing this, the bear king was deep in thought.
It looked at Wang Ye’s back and seemed to see one big word: Professional!
What did it mean to be a professional?!
The bear king felt that it had learned something.
