Chapter 59 - 59 Pig King!
59 Pig King!
After Hong Zhijun left, Lin Ye thought of the four dead Ironback Pigs and asked the system in his mind.
“System, what should we do after the beast dies?”
[After the beast dies, it will revive a month later. However, other than the contract relationship with the Beast Tamer remaining unchanged, its level and memories will return to their original state.]
Lin Ye nodded in understanding.
Was this a punishment similar to in-game?
The kind that would lose levels and “amnesia”?
The punishment was quite serious.
Familiars like the Ironback Pig were fine.
If Blackie died, wouldn’t he have to teach this guy how to eat, drink, and poop again?
Moreover, the higher the quality of the beast, the more serious the punishment for dying once.
After all, Blackie had spent millions of credits to advance from Advanced Class 1 to Beginner Class 2.
If he waited until it reached a higher level, wouldn’t the loss of dying once be hundreds of millions?
Fortunately, the system had also said that the index could have a healing effect.
“Speaking of which, how’s the healing ability of the index? Can it be healed no matter how serious the injuries are?”
[No, the index can only heal ordinary injuries. If the injuries are too serious, the index can only ensure that the beast won’t die immediately when it’s seriously injured and on the verge of death. The healing still needs a Beast Tamer.]
“Then how many beasts can Beast Tamers have?”
[Three]
“What about me? Are there any restrictions?”
[Yes, the host can only have nine beasts at most. At the current stage, you can still have one more. You can only obtain the qualifications to have three more beasts after all three beasts undergo their first evolution.]
“Wait, don’t I already have three?”
[The Fire Phoenix is a guardian divine beast of the dojo and does not occupy a spot. Therefore, strictly speaking, every time a dojo is built, the host can be considered to have a beast.]
Lin Ye was speechless.
Could it be calculated like this?
In the future, if he built dojos all over the planet, how many beasts would he have?
[Don’t worry, Host. From the information on the Internet, there are at most a thousand cities on the current planet. There’s no official news about the gathering place. It needs to be calculated separately.]
Lin Ye: “…”
Alright ~
“By the way, when will the other Beast Tamers open up new beast slots?”
[After the host completes this stage of the mission.]
Lin Ye shrugged.
Alright, these rules could not restrict him anyway.
At the same time, outside the dojo.
While Hong Zhijun was waiting for his troops to arrive, he wandered around the empty space outside the dojo.
The first thing he liked was not the Golden-Scaled Tiger King that could blind people, but the large Ironback Pig beside Bei Yun that was twice the size of an ordinary Ironback Pig.
Because he had fought side by side with the Ironback Pig before, Hong Zhijun felt especially close to this beast.
“Young man, do you have any good places to go after graduation?”
“Do you want to come to the army to make a contribution?!”
Bei Yun looked at the burly man in front of him in strange clothes and shook his head warily.
“I haven’t considered this for the time being.”
Hong Zhijun looked at the Ironback Pig King beside Bei Yun, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes.
“I heard from your classmates that your beast is the Ironback Pig King?”
“Yes, why?”
Hong Zhijun smiled at Bei Yun in embarrassment and asked,
“Well, what’s different about it? Compared to ordinary Ironback Pigs.”
Seeing Bei Yun look at him warily, Hong Zhijun revealed his identity.
He took out his communicator and called up his officer certificate.
“Look, I’m really not a bad person.”
“Moreover, I also have a beast.”
Following the direction Hong Zhijun was pointing, Bei Yun saw the rather inconspicuous white butterfly lying beside his collar.
“Is… is this a beast?”
Seeing Bei Yun so surprised, Hong Zhijun nodded rather proudly.
“Yes, I was the first batch of people to buy beasts from Shop Owner Lin.”
“Boss Lin?”
“Oh, it’s the Hall Master Lin you refer to him by. He previously opened a pet shop.”
Hearing Hong Zhijun say this, Bei Yun’s vigilance was greatly lowered.
Out of curiosity, Bei Yun even used the index to search for the white butterfly on Hong Zhijun’s shoulder.
Then, he was surprised by the information displayed on the index.
“This butterfly is also a purple beast?!”
Seeing Bei Yun in a daze at the thing on his wrist, Hong Zhijun remembered that he had forgotten to ask Lin Ye what this thing was.
Yes, he would ask later.
“How is it? Can we talk about your Pig King?”
Bei Yun nodded.
“Sure, go ahead, Officer Hong.”
“Yes, I won’t ask you about your privacy. I’m just a little curious. Can this Pig King… command other Ironback Pigs?”
After Hong Zhijun asked this question, he stared at Bei Yun with wide eyes.
He recalled the wolf howl that commanded the wolves in the morning.
If he could gather an army of Ironback Pigs, wouldn’t he be able to advance a long distance with the “Iron Wall” skills of these guys and the especially abnormal defense on their backs?
Previously, the four Ironback Pigs could still last for a few minutes under the siege of so many blood wolves.
If he could have Ironback Pigs like the Blood Wolf, no, as long as he had half or even a quarter of them and could listen to orders, he could even fight the beast tide he encountered today.
Otherwise, every time the army wanted to explore a further area outside the city, they would always have to sacrifice their lives.
However, mutants were a minority in the first place. When ordinary soldiers faced a beast tide, once they were approached, they would basically die.
Faced with such high losses, humans had no choice but to postpone the exploration outside the city.
When Bei Yun heard Hong Zhijun ask this, he was stunned himself.
“Huh?”
“I-I don’t know either!”
“To be honest, the Ironback Pig King has a skill that can order other Ironback Pigs to charge.”
“However, I really don’t know if I can give orders.
Hearing Bei Yun say this, Hong Zhijun immediately looked at him with shining eyes.
“Come, let’s give it a try!”
Bei Yun thought for a moment and simply nodded.
He also wanted to know if his Pig King was indeed the king.
With his Ironback Pig King, Bei Yun found a few other students whose beasts were Ironback Pigs.
After Bei Yun explained his request, the few of them did not refuse.
They were also very curious if there was any relationship between the Ironback Pig and the Ironback Pig King.
“Pig King, go over and try. Let them follow you there.”
Bei Yun pointed at the spot beside Hong Zhijun and said to his Ironback Pig King.
“Hmph ~”
The Pig King snorted twice and then walked in front of an Ironback Pig.
The noses of the two pigs, one big and one small, touched each other.
“Hmph ~”
“Hmph!”
After exchanging “signals”, the Ironback Pig really followed the Pig King to Hong Zhijun’s side.
“Damn! It actually works?”
