Chapter 93 - 91: A Discovery from Mo Yu’s Upgrade

Chapter 93: Chapter 91: A Discovery from Mo Yu’s Upgrade

Upon learning that someone was after the surrounding land, Lin Feng went directly to the county seat that afternoon to handle the land lease arrangements.

This matter had been settled long ago; he just hadn’t gotten around to processing the paperwork.

A leader had put in a good word for him, so the process went exceptionally smoothly, with none of the usual frustrating hitches.

This time, he was leasing a much larger plot of land. The county didn’t raise the price, keeping it at the previous rate of 50 yuan per mu.

After finishing the lease, Lin Feng also submitted some applications for his future construction plans.

He didn’t have to worry about that part. The county officials were eager for him to continue developing the area around Lin Xian Village and attract more tourists.

When he returned to the village in the evening, he went straight to find Mo Yu. The little guy was due for an upgrade today.

"Come here, Mo Yu."

Lin Feng ruffled the fur on his head. With more small animals around now, the dog spent his days chasing them in the woods.

He opened its panel and directly clicked "upgrade."

[Pet: Dog (Mo Yu)

Level: 3 (0/5000)

Age: Four months

Gender: Male

Talent: Robust

Skills: Keen Smell

Constitution: 8

Loyalty: 100 (100)]

His Loyalty had maxed out a long time ago. As long as he didn’t abuse Mo Yu, it seemed this stat wouldn’t drop.

"You got a Talent and Skills! Your leveling up is way more impressive than mine, you little guy."

To be honest, Lin Feng was a little envious. His own level-up had only granted him two points of Constitution, while Mo Yu got a full four points, plus a Talent and Skills.

’This is a bit unfair. Why don’t I get a Cultivation Technique or Skills when I level up?’

Unfortunately, nothing responded to him. He could only look glumly at the descriptions of Mo Yu’s Talent and Skills.

[Robust: Body is strong and not prone to illness. Increases Constitution by two points.]

[Keen Smell: Can detect scents from several kilometers away to find prey.]

’So, Mo Yu’s level-up gave him two points of Constitution, just like me. The other two points came from his Talent.’

’But 5,000 Experience Points for the next level-up? Isn’t that a bit much!’

’Oh well. Even without another level-up, Mo Yu is already very powerful.’

He picked Mo Yu up. The little guy seemed to have noticed the change in himself too, sniffing around curiously with his nose.

Looking at his sharp claws and sturdy legs, Lin Feng gave them a pat. He was indeed much stronger than before.

Although his size hadn’t changed much, his muscles were clearly different. An ordinary person definitely wouldn’t be able to win a fight against him.

"Be more careful from now on. Don’t go around swatting at small animals with your claws. I’ll take you out to train in a bit."

Mo Yu glanced at Lin Feng, then jumped out of his arms and gestured toward a nearby piece of wood.

Then, he tapped it a few times with his paw, repeating the action.

Lin Feng could tell at a glance that the dog was showing off his control over his strength, but he wasn’t in the mood to care about that.

"You’ve gotten smarter. You can understand what I’m saying now?"

"WOOF WOOF!"

"That’s amazing! Come on, jump for me."

Watching Mo Yu jump, he said, "Great! Now do a backflip. Other people’s cats can do it."

Mo Yu stared intently at Lin Feng. "WOOF WOOF WOOF, WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF..."

"You little rascal, you dare to curse at me!"

Before he could grab him, Mo Yu had already dashed out of the house with unbelievable speed.

After Mo Yu ran out, Lin Feng realized that he seemed to be able to understand Mo Yu’s meaning now. It was a magical feeling.

’This must be because the bond between pet and owner strengthens after the pet evolves.’

He hadn’t expected the pet function to have this kind of benefit. Perhaps he could try it with some other animals.

Coincidentally, there were now many animals around Lin Xian Village. He could try to catch some pets and add them as special attractions for the village.

The next morning, Lin Feng took Mo Yu and headed for the mountain to the west.

As soon as they reached the woods on West Mountain, he saw a small squirrel on a tree, chittering at Mo Yu.

Even without a pet contract, Lin Feng could tell that the little squirrel was hurling some nasty insults.

’Is that the little one Mo Yu pinned down last time?’

Lin Feng looked at the small patch of red fur on the squirrel’s head, which was completely different from other squirrels and made it very easy to identify.

He hadn’t expected this little squirrel to be so vengeful. It seemed quite smart, too.

’This squirrel isn’t bad. Maybe I can catch it and make it a pet.’

Once he had the idea, the next step was to figure out how to catch it.

"Come down. I’ve got something good for you to eat."

Lin Feng took out a Jade Grape. He didn’t have many left in his inventory; they wouldn’t last until the next harvest.

Most of the Jade Grapes had been eaten by his parents and sister. His own condition didn’t require them.

"SQUEAK, SQUEAK SQUEAK..."

The little creature dropped the walnut it was holding in its paws, its bulging eyes staring at the grape in his hand. It wanted it but was afraid to come down.

It was obviously afraid of Mo Yu, who was standing nearby, so Lin Feng had Mo Yu move farther away.

Seeing Mo Yu leave, the little creature clearly couldn’t resist any longer and scurried down from the tree.

It was still a little scared of him and didn’t dare to get close, its eyes fixed on the Jade Grape.

’And here I thought you were brave, running around the village without any fear of people.’

Lin Feng put the Jade Grape down and took two steps back.

The squirrel hesitated for a moment, then dashed toward the Jade Grape with incredible speed.

But Mo Yu was even faster. Before the squirrel could grab the Jade Grape, he pinned it to the ground with one paw.

Lin Feng was speechless, watching Mo Yu wag his tail, looking proud of himself.

He walked over, picked up the squirrel, and then picked up the grape from the ground and placed it in its paws.

The little creature had been screeching, but the moment the Jade Grape was in its paws, it instantly stopped and stuffed the grape into its mouth.

"Bind."

[Pet: Squirrel (Unnamed)

Level: 1 (0/100)

Age: Seven months

Gender: Female

Talent: None

Skills: None

Constitution: 1

Loyalty: 8 (100)]

Looking at the squirrel’s panel, it was similar to Mo Yu’s, except its Constitution and Loyalty were too low.

A seven-month-old squirrel was already an adult, yet its Constitution was only 1, lower than Mo Yu’s when he was still a pup.

’But that makes sense. This little thing is naturally weak; it would be strange if its Constitution were high.’

After the contract was signed, the squirrel was no longer afraid of him. It spat the grape out of its mouth and held it in its paws to eat.

Lin Feng examined its fur. Besides the red on its head, it had two black stripes on its body, and the rest of its fur was grayish-brown.

Its fluffy body was very pleasant to touch, and it looked very cute.

As for understanding his speech like Mo Yu, it would probably have to reach Level 3 first.

Soon, it finished the grape. It squatted in Lin Feng’s hand, turned its head, and looked at him with its big eyes, clearly wanting more.

"You greedy little thing. I’ll give you one more, but that’s it. I should give you a name. How about ’Greedy Guts’? Nah, I’ll call you A Little Red, or Xiaohong for short. That name sounds better."

Placing the little creature on his shoulder, Lin Feng continued walking deeper into the woods with Mo Yu, hoping to find other interesting little animals.

And sure enough, due to the mass migration of animals, the woods around Lin Xian Village were now home to many protected species that were rarely seen elsewhere.
