Chapter 149: Chapter 26 Luobo Retires, Xiong Da Steps Up

The next morning, Xiao Jie, along with I Want to Be Immortal and Mr. Ramen, arrived early outside the city.

He checked Luobo’s favorability, which was already at 83, his secret recipe vegetable dumplings had not been fed in vain over the past few days.

"Luobo, teach me your skills," he said.

Luobo snorted uneasily, "Master, you’re not going to send me away, are you?"

"How could I? Am I that kind of person?" Xiao Jie retorted with an indignant tone.

But Luobo wasn’t buying it, whimpering, "Master, please don’t abandon me."

Xiao Jie was somewhat speechless. When he had first tamed Luobo, it had been a nose-breaking, face-smashing affair. It had only been a few days; how had the attachment grown so strong?

"Rest assured, Luobo, I’ll take good care of you. Teach me your skills quickly, and I’ll buy you more vegetable dumplings later."

It turned out the vegetable dumplings still worked best. Luobo snorted again, "Alright then, watch closely..."

Then, suddenly, he burst into a dash, running one-third faster than the usual speed and moving like the wind.

System notification: Your pet Luobo has taught you the skill [Galloping].

"And there’s this trick." He charged towards a large tree and, with a sudden emergency stop, gave a fierce kick with his hind legs.

With a thud, the tree shook violently.

System notification: Your pet Luobo has taught you the skill [Kick].

Next, he ran over to Xiao Jie, letting him mount his back, and ran a couple of laps.

System notification: Your pet Luobo has taught you the skill [Mount].

What? This skill can be taught too? Xiao Jie was shocked. Galloping was the skill he most wanted, Fierce Kick was a bonus, but Mount was a total surprise.

[Kick (Combat Skills)

Usage: Fiercely kick a target, causing 15 points of blunt impact damage, with a certain probability of knocking them down. Damage and knockdown probability are doubled for enemies behind you.

Combat Skill Description: Imitation of a horse’s battle movements, also known as a powerful combat skill called ’powerful back kick,’ fiercely kicking an enemy with astonishing strength, especially threatening to those behind you.]

Luckily there were no side effects, not bad at all.

[Mount (movement technique)

Usage: Mount a target to fight together.

Side effects: Your movement speed decreases by 30%, your chance of losing balance increases by 50%, your movement technique and jump distance decrease by 50%, and your energy consumption increases by 50%.

Skill Description: Carry a friendly unit on your back, fighting in coordination with you.]

Damn, this weird skill...

[Galloping (movement technique)

Usage: Boost your running speed by 30% for 15 seconds.

Side effects: Your energy consumption while galloping is doubled.

Skill Description: Fast as a galloping horse, sometimes it’s more than just a description.]

This was the skill Xiao Jie really wanted. Although it didn’t compare to movement techniques like Eight Steps to Catch a Cicada, this didn’t consume any Inner Power Value.

Moreover, it could be stacked with Qinggong, making it formidable. A 30% increase from Galloping combined with 30% from Grass Flying would equal 60%, and with a sufficiently long duration, it was definitely a Divine Skill for chasing or fleeing.

With three skills in hand, Xiao Jie looked at Luobo, satisfied.

"Luobo, you’ve been with me for quite some time. It’s time for you to rest."

Luobo gave a look that said ’I knew it was coming,’ "Master, I’ve only been with you for three days."

"Ah, only three days? It feels much longer. It’s not that I don’t want to bring you along, but as you can see, we have fierce battles ahead. Since you don’t fight, it’s tough for me. How about this: in battles, you take on the beast, and then I won’t send you away.

I see you’re quite capable of fighting, especially that back kick—no, that Kick, it’s very powerful. Okay, it’s settled, you’ll be the first one up in the next fight."

Luobo decisively caved, "No, Master, please let me go. I’ve suddenly realized that nature is my true home."

"Fine, I’ll arrange a good place to set you free. Where would you like to go?"

Mr. Ramen watched as Xiao Jie and Luobo communicated and learned skills, feeling completely numb.

Damn, can the game even be played like this?

Indeed, he had encountered a master... this was a thigh that had to be clung to tightly.

Ten minutes later—

Looking at the grassland in front of him, Xiao Jie clicked to dismiss his pet, and Luobo’s name immediately changed to [Luobo (Wild Horse): Level 8].

"Goodbye, Luobo."

"Master."

"Hmm?"

"Feed me one more wild vegetable dumpling."

Watching Luobo disappear into the wilderness, Xiao Jie wasn’t too sentimental—it was time to capture a real beast.

This time, he planned to catch a bear.

Beast Tamers could only tame beasts not higher than their own level, so level 12 was the limit.

Right now, his options were wolves, wild boars, leopards, and bears.

Considering that he was rather squishy, it was better to catch a bear as a meat shield.

However, the taming difficulty was hard, and without a Beast Atlas to lower the difficulty, it would probably take some effort.

This pet wouldn’t just be for the transition. If there were no accidents, he might use it for a long time, at least until above level 20, so naturally, he had to catch a Top-Grade pet.

Fortunately, he had the Beast Recognition skill, which allowed Xiao Jie to identify the best beast without having to rely on luck like other Beast Tamers.

And so, the trio roamed the surrounding forest, searching for a suitable bear.

Xiao Jie continuously used Beast Recognition to observe the bears’ attribute panels and the skills they possessed.

It felt like he was playing Pokémon.

Hey, four skills, way too lame, not interested.

This one is good, Fierce Kick, Bite, even comes with Fury, but Thick Skin is only LV1, not enough survival capability.
