Chapter 24: Cold and Flu White Heat

Boom–

The light from the homestead bonfires grew even brighter, and with each elevated distance, the flames burned and the illumination went up a tier.

The mists around them began to recede.

Exposing the behemoth that had been hiding on the edge to the fire.

ZiZi ……

White smoke instantly rose from its body surface.

It seems that as the illumination range of a campfire improves, the firelight will become more damaging to the beasts.

“Howl–!”

At least this time, the behemoth couldn’t seem to carry the burn either, roaring and pacing backward into the mists.

“Don’t go, wait for me to see how much you can do first!”

Xu Jingnian immediately raised his Transcendent Binoculars to look at the retreating beast.

[Live animal detected]

[Analyzing energy levels complete!

[Transcendence-(Excellence)-Lord]

“What does that mean?”

Xu Jingnian was puzzled.

By this time, the giant beast had already retreated into the mist and disappeared.

“Three levels are shown, by the looks of it, is this giant beast at the exceptional level between Transcendent and Lord?”

That’s new information.

Transcendence and the pups in front of it were known information from before, and now the last two ranks were learned.

Pups→Transcendent→Excellent→Lord→?

“Not bad, already know the four levels ahead of me, and my genjutsu is actually only in the middle of the first level, still need to work hard!”

It’s hard to believe that this giant beast blocking the door of your home is actually a beast of the third realm ……

Can’t beat it, can’t beat it at all.

Hsu Jingnian thinks it’s time to step it up.

So he immediately returned to the bed, lay more flat, and did his best to help his favorite beast rest ……

Three hours later.

He then had Yuan Bao interrupt his digging work and return to the surface with twenty-two fire crystals, which he piled up next to the filled silver treasure chest.

[Fire Crystal*81]

I used up some of the fire crystals not too long ago, and when I came back from this digging trip, I was able to replenish them and more.

Now, although Yuan Bao could rely on eating rocks and wouldn’t go hungry, and he didn’t have to carry gravel, he couldn’t keep digging underground.

First of all, no matter how much the rock is digested, it’s not hydrated, so it still gets thirsty and has to come up for a drink.

Secondly, in about three hours, it would completely digest all the fire crystal energy it had fed on.

Growth stagnation.

So come up and replenish the fire crystals.

Other people think about how to get transcendental resources and how to use them sparingly and maximize their use ……

And now Xu Jingnian was thinking.

How to use up the fire crystals as quickly as possible.

Click!

Click it!

“Little fellow, your appetite could be a bit bigger, you can only eat three at a time, how are you going to finish all these fire crystals?”

Xu Jingnian was helpless.

Leveling up is too slow!

He couldn’t wait to have the little mountain-piercing armor rise to the Lord level right now, and then explode and kill the giant beast guarding the doorway.

As for why Lords?

Because that behemoth was Excellence, and the Lord was even stronger than Excellence, Xu Jingnian felt that it was better to level crush in order to feel safe, or else there was a possibility of overturning the car.

Yuanbao doesn’t have the kind of compulsion to take one step and have invincibility follow him ……

Instead, it’s more like roadkill.

When fighting in a group, all are easily relegated to the background, and fighting at the same level is just not stable.

Being careful is a good thing.

“I’d rather do nothing than make a mistake ……”

Hsu Jingnian was cautious.

After Yuan Bao finished eating the three fire crystals.

He opened the favored beast panel again.

In fact, while Yuanbao was still mining, its level had slowly grown to break through to the sixth rank.

After this meal.

It moves up a small notch again!

[Rank: Cub 7th Order (25%↑)]

“Ahem, this time, it hasn’t even been a day since the Favored Beast Ranking List was announced, and I’m catching up with the progress of the first place in terms of my meta.”

Xu Jingnian smiled slightly.

He has a bold idea for when the leaderboards are settled in a week, when the rankings re-shift ……

Climbing to the top?

This was no longer Xu Jingnian’s ultimate goal, he wanted to surpass everyone with an absolute lead.

Wait for the meta to continue down the mine.

Realizing that it was time for him to eat, Xu Jingnian casually ate some meat fluffy buns and got another piece of lunch meat.

Unfortunately, eating it still tastes the same.

“Tasty, but flavorless ……”

Xu Jingnian took a sip of the mineral water that had been boiled in a pan and then took stock.

There are nine bottles of water left.

Due to fatigue synchronization, both he and Genpou have to hydrate a lot every day.

Especially Xu Jingnian himself.

Was suffering from a cold and drinking lots of hot water really helped!

He then opened the House of Ore group and sent a message:

Ore seller: “Ask for it, ask for it, and if any of you see trading quilts at the market, please be sure to trade for them for me.”

He really needs a quilt.

Otherwise the cold will only get worse.

After a while.

The reliable Terminator actually replied, “Boss, there’s no quilt, but there’s a sleeping bag, do you want it?”

Ore Vendor: “It’s all the same, how about this, I’ll give you five fire crystals first, go and exchange more practical living supplies for me.”

Xu Jingnian thought.

Now that he was so rich in fire crystals and there were mines underground, he could really take out some and use it to improve his life.

Terminator: “Good.”

Afterwards, the other party directly pulled up a deal, and there was no need for Xu Jingnian to hesitate as he took out five fire crystals.

There was no need for him to worry too much more about the tried and tested Terminator.

Otherwise it’s not a wasted test?

After a while, Misty delivered a long blue sleeping bag.

Xu Jingnian was pleasantly surprised!

“Finally, finally get something that will keep me warm while I sleep! I’ve had enough of the cold.”

He quickly arranged the sleeping bag on the bed and lay down in it.

This cozy wrap feels comfortable.

Comfort!

Reopen the Ore House chat.

Super Little Cloud: “Boss, isn’t it my job to procure supplies for you? How can I give it to the Terminator!”

This was something Xu Jingnian didn’t like to hear.

He lets whomever he wants to trade for him do so, and it’s certainly not set in stone.

But there’s nothing wrong with that statement.

Everyone was someone who had gone through their own tests, and Xu Jingnian had no need to break her heart.

Moreover, there was no honorarium for this job of helping to procure supplies, and he had the final say on when there was enough money to go around, it was just a chance for the client to obtain fire crystals.

It has to be grabbed, so let’s give it to her.

Ore Vendor: “It’s fine, I’ll give you five fire crystals as well, all of which will help me go purchase living supplies.”

Super Little Cloud: “Boss atmosphere!”

Afterward, Xu Jingnian pulled up the deal and gave the other party five fire crystals, while the opposite party casually exchanged a hammer over.

After the delivery.

The fire crystals were immediately reduced by ten, leaving seventy-one, still very rich.

Xu Jingnian, on the other hand, lay down into his sleeping bag, all his limbs wrapped around him, and as sleepiness overtook him, he drifted off to sleep again.

Waiting for a nap.

Colds are entering a white-hot phase.

The head is starting to burn.

“A?”

Yuan Bao came back from digging, the harvest of fire crystals was less this time, but there were still a dozen or so.

It put the fire crystal down.

Somewhat worriedly, he looked at his master.

Xu Jingnian shook his head and comforted, “It’s fine, just go eat the fire crystals ……”

“A.”

The owner was sick, but Genpou became more appetizing as it leveled up.

You can eat four fire crystals at a time now.

After eating the fire crystals.

Xu Jingnian propped up his fuzzy head and opened the favored beast panel.

The level of the meta is once again raised.

[Level: Cub 8th Order (43%↑)]

After waiting for Yuanbao to go down the mine again with some concern ……

Xu Jingnian barely moved around, and after simply replenishing his food, he once again lay down in his sleeping bag and drifted off to sleep.

He doesn’t know either.

Whether one is asleep or in a coma …..
