Chapter 1 Fatigue Synchronization, I can help my pet animal rest

[Hello, please leave your brain behind!

–From Dear Author (not the zombies)]

…

……

[Welcome to the Beast Abyss!

[From now on, you will spend the rest of your lives here. Please don’t panic. Instead of doubting your life, show your courage and survive!]

[Remember, this place is covered in a corrosive death mist, and there are many crises in the mist! But don’t worry, it’s safe within the confines of a campfire.]

[Beside each of you, there is a dying homestead bonfire that will be your territory, so please never forget to add to it!]

“……”

Xu Jingnian looked at the panel in front of him that was flashing red, his expression stunned.

What happened?

Just now he was still lying on the bed, comfortably swiping the video, only to have his vision suddenly blocked by a dark mist, and in the twinkling of an eye he came to this hellish place.

“Is this, like, a real game?”

Xu Jingnian frowned in thought, thinking that he had been massively screwed, but everything around him was so real.

He seems to have to accept reality.

Take a deep breath.

He turned his head to survey his surroundings.

On the ground beside him was a campfire in flames, though the flames were wavering and showing signs of going out.

[Homestead bonfire]

[Illumination range: five meters in diameter (changeable …… currently consumes 5 points of firewood per hour)]

[Remaining firewood: 14.3]

[Estimated burn time: 2.8 hours]

Looking at the panel that surfaced in front of him. Xu Jingnian realized that the fire was about to go out and time was running out ……

The surrounding area was shrouded in black mist.

As he looked around, there was no mist within a five-meter radius centered on the campfire, but there was also only dark brown open space.

Suddenly, Xu Jingnian vaguely saw what looked like sharp claws sticking out of the black mist, but they were banished by the light brought by the campfire.

“What the hell?!”

He shouted.

There was no telling what was in the mist, but it was clear that it was staring intently at him!

Never let a campfire go out!

Xu Jingnian’s heart pounded.

But what to do with the remaining firewood, which is only enough to burn for more than two hours?

Xu Jingnian couldn’t suppress his heartbeat, realizing that if he didn’t do something, perhaps he would die.

He could only check himself first.

The clothes were still there, he was wearing a dark blue nightgown, comfortable and snug, just a little thin.

The dying campfire beside him couldn’t bring him warmth, and his back was cool at the moment from the cold sweat he had just broken out in.

At that moment, Xu Jingnian realized that in his hand, he seemed to be able to open a panel with four functions:

[Bonfire], [Chat], [Trade], [Favored Beasts].

One of the bonfires was the panel he had just seen, but in this specific panel, it was also possible to upgrade the bonfire.

Xu Jingnian opened the second [Chat] panel, and immediately saw countless messages popping up like bubbles.

There are so many messages, it’s a good thing they’re surfacing in random bubbles or they wouldn’t be readable at all.

“What is this place, has everyone crossed over? Why am I the only one, so scared ……”

“Help, my campfire is going out! How do I add wood to the bonfire?”

“What are these mists, so dangerous! I just touched it with the back of my hand, and now my skin is festering, it hurts so much, can anyone save me?”

Countless message bubbles continued to pop up in front of Xu Jingnian’s eyes, hovering for a few seconds before shattering with a bang.

Then, Xu Jingnian realized that [Chat] was divided into [Nearby] and [All], and he cut the chat to Nearby.

The message bubbles were suddenly much less frequent.

Suddenly, he saw an important message before his eyes.

“For those who see it, please be sure to open the Favored Beast Panel quickly, where you can pick up an Initial Favored Beast, which I’ve already contracted!”

See this message.

Xu Jingnian also immediately opened the [Favored Beast] panel.

[The bonfire is about to go out, and if you want to survive, you must raise the torch and step into the mist of crisis in search of firewood!]

[But the dim light of a torch alone will not banish the beasts of the mist, perhaps you need a good companion to do so!]

[Please draw your first pet animal ……]

Xu Jingnian looked at the panel, finally getting a little excited, and in the bottom left corner of these paragraphs of information, there was a message that kept broadcasting:

“Congratulations to Wang **, who has successfully contracted a King-level Qualification Favored Beast! Congratulations to Lin**, successfully contracting a Lord-class qualified pet beast! Congratulations to Li ……”

It seemed that many people were already extracting and successfully contracting their own favored beasts.

King Class…Lord Class ……

Sounds like it would be a strong favored beast!

Xu Jingnian asked for nothing else.

It didn’t matter if his favored beasts were less qualified than these, as long as they could help him and find firewood to add to the fire in the mists.

“Extract!”

Xu Jingnian spaced out and clicked on the panel.

[Initial beasts are being drawn from ……]

Immediately afterward, in front of him, a golden beam of light descended from the mist overhead.

Golden Legend?

Xu Jingnian was a bit agitated, trying to open his eyes that were about to be blinded by the flash, wanting to see what kind of favored beast was inside.

Wait for the golden light to fade.

Only to see the open space above, stood a body clad in hard scales and armor, standing posture like a Tyrannosaurus rex pet beast ……

[Successful extraction–]

Chinese Pangolin!

“No?!”

Xu Jingnian was confused for a moment, looking at the little guy in front of him who was about half a meter tall, and visibly showing an expression of dismay.

He didn’t expect that the initial favored beast he had extracted was actually a real creature that existed on Earth?

Rare is quite rare.

But the problem is that it’s not transcendent!

Not to mention how compared to those king-level and lord-level favored beasts, its combat power, that is, in the natural environment of the Earth is also the level of weak chicken ……

[An automatic contract has been made.]

[Real name: unnamed]

[Favored Animal: Chinese Pangolin]

[Attribute: Gold]

[Level: Cub 1st Order]

[Skills: None]

[Specialty: Digging]

Xu Jingnian looked at the pangolin armor, and the pangolin armor looked up at him, its eyes watery, and it cocked its head.

This little guy, can he really fight against those unknown monsters hidden in the mists?

I’m afraid I can’t ……

“Ugh.”

Xu Jingnian sighed.

But no matter how sad he was, he couldn’t regret having contracted, and this was the partner who would accompany him in his quest for survival.

With both of his hands spread out, Xu Jingnian could only choose to bend down, look down at the favored beast at his feet, and ask in a soft voice:

“Little man, are you any good?”

Instead of answering, the pangolin cocked his head in puzzlement.

Xu Jingnian stretched out his hand again, intending to touch the pangolin armor’s small head, only to end up touching its forehead scales just as his fingers touched them.

There was a sudden rumble in his head.

[The gift of the beast has been awakened!]

[Fatigue Synchronization: Your fatigue value will be bound to the contracted pet beast, but for every second of rest, the pet beast will recover ten times its energy!

Xu Jingnian blinked.

Shocked and at the same time puzzled in his heart, this Beast Royalty Talent, was he the only one who had awakened it, or did everyone have it?

He opened the [Nearby Chat] function, and immediately many message bubbles floated in front of his eyes:

“Has anyone awakened the Sentinel Beast Talent, why is my talent so trashy, damn it, how should I survive in this hellish place?”

“Me too, I awakened the Sentinel Beast Talent after contracting a pet beast, but it’s pretty hot, I can only sense nearby emotions, what’s the point?!”

In the neighborhood chat, there are very fewer bubbles than the whole group, and you can even talk to each other.

Apparently, everyone had awakened the Sentinel Beast Talent.

Xu Jingnian thought about whether his talent was good or bad.

Fatigue synchronization.

Simply put, it means that when the pangolin gets tired, so does he, the master! Looking at this alone, it’s a complete negative effect ……

However, correspondingly, as long as Xu Jingnian went into a state of rest, the mountain-piercing armor would also regain its energy, and it would do so tenfold!

The goodness or badness of this talent, whether there is any advantage in comparison to others …… Xu Jingnian does not give a direct inference.

But he understood.

With this Sentinel Beast talent.

Doesn t it mean that as long as he rests properly, it means that his favored beast …… will never have to rest?

However, this talent, for the current crisis of the bonfire is about to go out, Xu Jingnian can not think of what can play a role ……

Even if the pangolin has unlimited energy, it’s not like it’s essentially going to be enhanced for combat.

After all, its specialty is digging holes.

Can’t have it digging into the ground …..
