MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 191: Even More SurprisesTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"There are still some equipment over here. Please take them if you need them or I will sell them in the League in exchange for gold coins and then redistribute the coins to everyone."

Several people, including Dinosaurcerer and Brother Da, who had gotten a lot of benefits, did not dare to ask for more. They thought of the comrades of the Citadel. After all, they must not be too greedy even if they got a large haul.

Since everyone was adamant on being selfless, Slayer's Heart stopped trying to persuade. The Pet Egg did not drop then, so there was still a chance to cooperate with them in the future. Without any delay, he pushed all the equipment, including more than ten good Gold equipment and the Dark Gold cloak that the Boss dropped toward Qin Ruo.

"It would be a waste to sell these. Little Qin, might I suggest that you keep these and distribute them among your friends?"

When he was finished, Slayer's Heart laid eyes on the ancient skill book Mana Drain. With a light pat on Qin Ruo's shoulders, Slayer's Heart said, "This book should be with you."

"Ah! Brother Slayer…"

Qin Ruo stood up shyly as the most valuable item of this trip was this book. Therefore, he quickly decided to refuse it. However, before he said anything, he saw Burning Rose's beautiful eyes staring at him.

"Why would you refuse? Hmph! Be thankful that I have tons of other stuff to learn."

"Little Ruo you take it. We are a team. You need not be too courteous with us. You are now the best Elementalist in our team. You deserve this book! But if we get any Magic Skill Books in the future by chance, we will give it to Burning Rose. Let's not let her think that she will get good things without working hard."

The one who spoke was Violet Orchid. Her words were sensible, but the lazy evaluation of the end caused Burning Rose to pout. Then she quietly glanced at Qin Ruo with dissatisfaction and muttered, "Ruo Ruo, don't be too conceited. When this Sister Rose train Elementalism well, your position as the best Elementalist will be stripped off by yours truly!"

"Hehe! That's hard to say. Maybe, by then, Brother Qin Ruo would be better than he is now!" Gold Digger Babe teased.

"YOU LITTLE SCROOGE MCDUCK!"

Burning Rose crossed her hands and squeaked disgruntledly. Gold Digger Babe stuck her tongue out and snickered behind Qin Ruo.

"I'm merely telling the truth."

"I dare you to say it again!" Burning Rose was burning with rage, but she could not do anything. She simply looked like she was clowning around, which made everyone laugh.

"Oh yeah Little Ruo, here is a Pet Egg, Malevolent Archdemon. It has pretty good strength. If you want it, then take it. With your Aquamorph, you should be able to train it well."

As everyone laughed, Slayer's Heart suddenly remembered the only Pet Egg loot in the backpack. He took it out and offered it to Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo waved his hands, declining the offer.

"No need, I have already have a Pet."

When he answered Slayer's Heart, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped. All nine of them looked at him at the same time.

"Huh? When did you have it?"

"Already? When did you go to the pet store? What Pet is it?"

"Brother Qin, I don't recall you buying any Pet that time."

Everyone was agitated and threw questions that Qin Ruo could not answer. None of them knew when Qin Ruo chose a Pet.

What made Slayer's Heart, Violet Orchid, and others uncomfortable was that it was a waste for someone like Qin Ruo to bind with a Pet obtained from the pet store. If they just went to any high-level farming area and farmed for a few days, they could get a stronger Pet compared to the highest level Pet in the pet store.

Qin Ruo had great potential. If he was accompanied by a more advanced Pet, perhaps he might have the opportunity to be the top player in H&G. At the very least, he would be a Field Commander of a Clan.

But if he chose a weak ordinary monster Pet, with his extremely good aptitude, the combination of player and Pet in the future would greatly weaken and suppress him. It was not something anyone wanted to see.

Nonetheless, little did they know, Qin Ruo was bound to the Pet Egg before the Pet System was launched. Everybody assumed that Qin Ruo chose a Pet Egg to play with while they were away. Slayer's Heart handed over the Malevolent Archdemon Pet Egg.

"Please take this. Although it might not be a Boss drop, it is still a humanoid Pet. With skills like Darkmist and Barrier, it is much stronger than the Pets in the store. With your skill and wit, I'm sure you could bring this Pet's potential to Boss tier."

"Indeed!"

"Ruo Ruo please change it. Go to the pet store to unbind your Pet."

Everybody nodded and agreed with Slayer's Heart suggestion.

Qin Ruo stroked the Mana Drain in his hand and felt very touched.

However, he had witnessed the combat power of the Shadowfox in the Wargod's Canyon of Trials. Even though it did not have long-ranged attack capabilities, its speed and melee attack was strong enough. It was definitely not weaker than the Tier 4 Boss. Unbind this Pet? Over his deadth body!

Originally, he wanted to keep this as a secret until the egg hatched to surprise everyone. Now, since everyone was so anxious, Qin Ruo had to reveal it in advance.

"This… was actually bound two days ago… Oh no, it has been three days…"

The room went silent.

"…"

"What?!"

After a long while, Brother Da was the first to react. He could not stop thinking, so he asked very carefully, worried that he was wrong.

Qin Ruo replied a smile, "Do you all remember the two Dark Gold equipment that I showed you all before? The Pet Egg was bound on that day…" Qin Ruo caved in and roughly told everyone what happened that day.

Everyone's solemn expression was quickly replaced with excitement.

A monster with amazing speed and attack? It was definitely a Boss, even if it was not, it would also definitely be a special monster or a mutant monster.

It was the first time Slayer's Heart showed his excitement and surprise. He had received the voice message from Qin Ruo then and recalled the event. However, because he did not know Ron and Ron's Mistress, and Qin Ruo did not tell him exactly what happened at that time, so he was not very clear about this matter. But when he heard Qin Ruo using such a method to get a mysterious monster's favor, he was excited, but he sighed.

"How the heck—Why do all the good things flock to you!"

At first, it was the Aquamorph, Elemental Perception: Water, and also the selective Advancement Quest, followed by the advanced Elementalism, and then the Elementalist's Mana Drain. Now even with the Pet, he was one step ahead. On top of that, this was a Boss-tier Pet Egg that would cause an uproar among the H&G players.

"It doesn't make any sense!" Burning Rose stomped and screamed regretfully. Then, she shouted at Gold Digger Babe, accusing her of being a jinx. Initially, just the Elemental Perception: Water and Elementalism were enough to put a huge gap between her and Qin Ruo. Four days later, after the egg hatches, there was no way she could keep up with Qin Ruo anymore. Qin Ruo's strength would be far too great.

That being said, everyone could see that her smile was sincere. All of them were happy for Qin Ruo.

After all the excitement, they turned back to the Malevolent Archdemon Pet Egg.

Slayer's Heart looked at everyone.

"Now that that's over, who wants this Pet Egg?"

Violet Orchid and the girls instinctively shook their heads. Every girl likes beautiful things. Which tough babe would be willing to carry a dark and ugly Pet? Although this could have a strong contrast effect, the girls did not need a "wingman", especially not that hideous looking "wingman".

In the end…

This Pet Egg fell into the hands of the only person in the field who was more suited to it—Dinosaurcerer.

After all, Dinosaurcerer was a Shadow Summoner. He had more knowledge in Dark magic than anyone else there. With his skills, he could bring out the full potential of the Malevolent Archdemon.

Together, they would equal to two players. If he could use Beastform Fusion with his Pet, they would be able to exploit the power that the Summoner could not use but the Malevolent Archdemon could—the Dark Barrier spell. As a result, the combat power of Dinosaurcerer would be enhanced greatly.

Besides that, Dinosaurcerer himself was quite satisfied with this Malevolent Archdemon as it was a monster that was closer to Tier 4.

After deciding to give the egg to Dinosaurcerer, Slayer's Heart made an appointment with everyone at 7 p.m. They would gather at Savis Town and continue their hunt at the Mythical Battlefield.

Brother Da and the others were certainly anxious about the hunt. They had never been able to achieve such a great haul in a single night ever since they started playing H&G. At the end of the day, materially or spiritually, they were all very satisfied! Especially Brother Da as he also intended to learn from Slayer's Heart and Little Apple. He wanted to, at least, win the elite rank in the Twelve Zodiacs in a one-on-one fight.

In contrast, what Qin Ruo thought was much simpler.

He just wanted to polish his Tier 4 skill and his newly acquired skill Mana Drain. That, and to kill time until the fox egg hatched.

Feeling delighted, Qin Ruo felt that there were more surprises waiting for him.
