The Frightened Ding Yi
Players can choose their pets from the moment they hatch to be either battle pets or mounts. Different choices will lead to different attribute evolution directions.
If a battle pet is chosen, its combat attribute growth rate will be significantly increased. If a mount is chosen, it will gain the attributes of movement speed and carrying capacity, effectively diverting its combat attributes.
"Do you think I need it to help me fight?" Ye Yun reached out and stroked the Golden Crow's feathers, looking at Mo Li and asking softly.
"I... I don't think so." Mo Li hesitated for a long time and said dejectedly.
A level thirteen player with forty billion health points, needing someone to help him fight? What a joke!
But...
Looking at the Golden Crow perched on Ye Yun's shoulder, affectionately nuzzling his cheek, Mo Li could only sigh helplessly.
Indeed, different races have different fates! If this were his, he would have treated it like an ancestor and doted on it.
Ye Yun ignored Mo Li and directly summoned the Black Ant.
*Thump...*
A colossal creature appeared before Ye Yun.
This thing, it really grew on feed! Its body, when crouched, must be over twenty meters tall!
Looking at the Black Ant, Ye Yun felt immense pressure! It was truly immense. An ant had grown into a creature nearly a hundred meters long. Who would believe it if he said it?
"Mo Li, come on, get in the car!" Ye Yun was the first to enter the back of the Black Ant's head.
At this moment, the space in the back of the Black Ant's head had expanded nearly tenfold! The entire space was over three meters high and about a hundred square meters, a veritable suite!
"This... Boss, what kind of species is your Black Ant? Why do I feel it's more formidable than a divine beast?" Even Mo Li couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
Divine beast? My little Black is comparable to them?
Comparing it to the Golden Crow, it would take at least ten years to achieve the Black Ant's current attributes.
"Mo Li, I'll leave it to you from now on! I don't care how you manage it, but one thing is crucial: ensure the Black Ant doesn't die! Do you understand?"
Ye Yun glanced at the time, added another billion attribute points to his health, and then fell into a deep sleep in the game pod, leaving Mo Li bewildered.
Ye Yun was extremely tired. His strength had increased too much, and the supply of nutrient solution in reality could only manage ten milliliters per second, and that was after Ye Yun had requested modifications.
Even the entire Dragon Palace's game pods had been modified according to Ye Yun's strong demands. Once the human body's organic functions in the game pod required it, the nutrient solution tank would replenish the body's nutritional functions at the fastest rate of ten milliliters per second.
However, Ye Yun's strength increase this time was truly terrifying!
While Ye Yun slept soundly in the game pod, the lights were bright outside, with several people anxiously milling around Ye Yun's pod.
Shortly after Ye Yun entered the game pod, Ding Yi noticed that the nutrient solution in Ye Yun's pod began to be consumed rapidly.
Fortunately, after the modifications, Ding Yi no longer had to add bags of nutrient solution manually. When the nutrient solution in the pod dropped below 50%, it would automatically draw from the external supply.
However, for nearly two hours, the nutrient solution in Ye Yun's game pod had not stopped consuming, and it was at its maximum flow rate!
This frightened Ding Yi, who quickly contacted Zhou Ningdong.
Even in the middle of the night, Zhou Ningdong immediately rushed over with a few people.
"General Zhou, when your people were modifying it last night, were you sure the nutrient solution wouldn't leak?" Ding Yi asked, looking at Zhou Ningdong.
"How could it? I brought in technicians directly from the manufacturer, and if there were a leak, the nutrient solution would be everywhere," Zhou Ningdong replied.
"Minister Zhou, the life detection indicator light is still on, meaning the General is not in danger," Li Chenxu said after inspecting everything.
"Minister Zhou, I just received a message from the statistician. The General's level has disappeared from the ranking board," Liu Hai suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.
"What?!" Zhou Ningdong and the others were shocked.
"Could something have happened?" Ding Yi's eyes welled up with tears.
"The game pod's emergency notification button was pressed, but there was no response from inside!"
As Li Chenxu finished speaking, the entire office fell into a long silence.
...
"The life detection light is on, which means the General is fine. Let the nutrient solution continue to be injected, and get back to work."
"The General should be fine. As a Celestial Being, even if there were a problem with this game pod, it wouldn't harm him."
Zhou Ningdong said after some thought.
Everyone had witnessed Ye Yun's power firsthand.
"Alright, everyone go get some rest. I'll watch here!"
"Minister Zhou, why don't you go rest? I can stay here. Don't worry, I'll notify you immediately if anything happens!" Ding Yi said to the three of them with red eyes.
"Minister Zhou, how about we keep you company? I've got cards! Want to play a couple of rounds?" Li Chenxu, sensing the tense atmosphere, quickly suggested.
"Sure..."
They sat on Ye Yun's desk and played cards, but none of them were fully focused.
At nine in the morning, Ye Yun emerged from the game pod, looking refreshed.
"What are you all doing?" As soon as he exited the game pod, Ye Yun saw Ding Yi and Zhou Ningdong staring at him with dark circles under their eyes.
"Uh, General, are you alright?" Zhou Ningdong asked Ye Yun, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Do you really wish something had happened to me?"
"No, no! Starting at one in the morning, your game pod's nutrient solution has been injecting at maximum flow. By the time you came out, almost a ton of nutrient solution had been injected. I thought the game pod had a problem."
Ye Yun hadn't told Zhou Ningdong about the connection between nutrient solution and real-world strength, so he had no idea why the nutrient solution was being injected so rapidly.
"The game pod is fine. This kind of situation will happen frequently in the future. You'll understand when you reach level thirty."
"Also, in the future, you'll need to arrange for someone to manage the level rankings. I accepted a quest and have to stay in-game to complete it before I can return. My level has been suppressed for now."
Ye Yun rubbed the 'Heaven's Way' ring on his finger, its faint glow indicating that his in-game character was still in an AFK state.
He didn't offer Zhou Ningdong too much explanation. When they reached level thirty and passed the certification of the Enlightenment Tower, they would naturally understand.
"By the way, when does that ceremony for the Imperial Dragon Society start?"
Ye Yun had received the invitation from the Imperial Dragon Society yesterday but hadn't read it carefully.
"The day after tomorrow, December 6th. Does the General need to make arrangements in advance?" Ding Yi quickly replied.
The day after tomorrow?
Ye Yun frowned. He had originally planned to spend these two days consuming his in-game attributes first, but it seemed that wouldn't be possible.
With over thirty billion attribute points, at this nutrient solution supply rate, two days wouldn't be enough! However, he definitely had to attend the Imperial Dragon Society's event.
