Chapter 149: Chapter 139: The Impact of Personality on Pets (4,000 words, bonus update due to rewards)

A few minutes later, Li Zheng came out from his original position, looking speechless.

“Damn it…”

During those few minutes, he was running left and right in the mist, jumping forward, flying into the sky.

He still couldn’t find the edge of the mist, so he took a step back, just one step!

And ended up back to where he started?

“Amazing!”

Li Zheng was impressed. It was truly hardcore. No matter how far you ran inside the mist, if you took a step back, you’d end up in the same spot…

Having failed in his exploration, Li Zheng didn’t bother to dig a hole on the ground to see if he could go further. He suspected it probably wouldn’t work.

Just like when he used the flying device to fly at least five hundred meters in the air, landed, and took a step back, he came out too, didn’t he?

“Guess I’ll go back and deal with that woodland first.”

Decisively turned around to check on the progress of those people’s project.

After taking two steps, he turned back and stared for two seconds, harshly criticized, “This is… like a bull that can’t be filled, amazing, really.”

Back at the edge of the woodland, Phoenix Mountain and the other three worked together to dig a circle about twenty meters away from the center of the woodland, creating a five-meter-wide blank area.

At this point, the project was already more than halfway done, should be finished in a few minutes.

With nothing to do, Li Zheng found a giant stone covered in moss, used the Black Blade to scrape off the moisture-rich plants, and sat on it.

“Since the mist can’t be passed, it’s unlikely the BOSS would emerge from it. This kind of restriction should be two-way, otherwise the regional division would be pointless.”

Li Zheng looked around with sharp eyes. Except for the area where he fought with Test Subject Number 3 being uneven, the rest showed no abnormalities.

“Apart from the woodland, there’s nowhere that looks like it could hide monsters… Could it be they’d tunnel up from underground?”

Looking at the ground, “It’s possible, but not likely. This isn’t a desert environment, placing a sandworm-type monster on Mist Island would be a bit out of place.”

Then…

Where would the BOSS make its appearance?

“Speaking of which, these dungeons are too humane. BOSSes always appear at the end, or they’re released when players trigger them.

There’s never a situation where they start with a big move, catching players off guard.

Seriously like a game dungeon, kill the little mobs before facing the BOSS, right?”

Li Zheng found many points to ridicule in this.

Why not start directly with the BOSS for a tough battle with the player, and whoever loses eats dust, wouldn’t that work?

Finish the main course, and let those little mobs be dessert for leisurely playing, isn’t that nice?

If those low combat power teams knew about his idea, they might curse him like anything.

A bunch of OP guys steamrolling everything, yet complaining about the difficulty not being human?

Just that wave of attacks they faced earlier, if it was a regular Silver and Gold ability-equipped player team, wouldn’t they pay a price?

Didn’t you see even the top-tier lucky dog Feng Xiaoshan got tricked in an ambush…

“Life, it’s truly lonely as a… hey? Over there, it’s done?”

Li Zheng was lamenting life when he suddenly saw Phoenix Mountain and the others gathered, so he jumped off the stone and went over to join them.

Li Zheng, walking away, didn’t notice the giant stone behind him tremble twice.

“All done?”

Getting closer for a look, oh boy… a standard moat-like trench, just needs some water added.

“Mainly because the little spider is so fierce.”

Phoenix Mountain, leaning on the shovel, looked at the little spider, eyes filled with uncontainable envy.

Look at their pet.

Now think about his own problems.

Ah, people are afraid of comparisons.

“Hiss!”

The little spider raised its head, clanging its front legs together, sounding proud and defiant.

The look seemed to say: ‘When it comes to digging? You all are amateurs!’

“The little spider used to be a Mine Spider. After joining me, it evolved several times to become this.”

Li Chun loved sitting on the little spider, as usual, stroking its head armor, said, “The Mine Spider had a special ability for digging and might also identify some rare minerals.

Unfortunately, in the subsequent evolutions, those abilities got wiped.”

Though the digging abilities got wiped, as a Mine Spider’s foundation remained, thanks to its Gold Level tier, flipping through loose soil like this was no trouble at all.

As a player also with pets, Li Zheng sharply noticed a problem: “When pets evolve, there’s a chance their original special abilities get wiped?

Even their original race can change?”

Special abilities are like racial talents.

For example, Black people who are naturally good at rap, speaking with a kind of peculiar rhythm. (Rhyme, skrrrr)

This ability reset process is like wiping away a Black person’s rap talent; though they retain their old memories, they can’t do it effortlessly anymore.

The scariest thing is actually changing race.

A Mine Spider evolving into a Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider is like a Black person evolving into a rainbow person… (Old Xiao: Damn you, am I evolving backward?)

Though both are people, they’re fundamentally different.

Li Zheng glanced at the little cherry, still floating leisurely with a cheering stick, and suddenly felt some worry in his heart.

When the little one grew a tail, could it be due to a problem with its racial bloodline?

However…

As a Black Iron Level creature, no matter how bad a fear bat evolves, how bad could it become?
