The Treasure Seeking Rat's eyes lit up as he scurried towards the potion cabinet, precisely avoiding all dangerous and unsuitable potions.
He instinctively chose a few of the rare ones, and the Treasure Seeking Rat grinned happily.
Treasure Seeking Rat: (✪ω✪)
I knew it, there's a scent of treasure here!
...
Xue Runian walked towards the USB drives and skill machines.
The Little Wolf Cub's eyes flickered.
These things absolutely cannot be taken away.
He Fan had made thorough preparations before acting, even anonymously setting a timed report on the Beastmaster Association's official website.
One day was enough for him to transport the goods away.
After that, the official website would receive the message, immediately seal off the Summer Secret Realm, and then the Enforcers would handle the cleanup.
Unfortunately, plans change faster than they are made.
Taking everything away directly would arouse suspicion, but...
Importing all the data and files into the beastmaster bracelet poses no problem at all!
Xue Runian paced to the beastmaster bracelet, looked at his claws, deliberated for a long time, and finally, with a resolute heart, picked up the wristband with his mouth.
Carrying the wristband in his mouth, the Little Wolf Cub walked to the machine, collected all the USB drives, and connected them along with the skill machine to the beastmaster bracelet, beginning the data transfer.
The new beastmaster bracelet, besides scanning Pet Beast data more clearly, only had two advantages.
First, its memory capacity was super large, extremely large.
Second, it integrated with a "space stone," gaining storage space functionality, eliminating the need to wear additional space items.
Of course, the storage space was only two cubic meters and could not hold living creatures.
But even so, the market price of a space item was already tens of millions.
The Little Wolf Cub watched the wristband receiving data, blue light reflecting on his face, his expression complex.
This wasn't just a wristband.
This was ten million!
Perhaps...
Xue Runian's gaze shifted to the potion cabinet.
The Treasure Seeking Rat's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Squeak!"
The Treasure Seeking Rat, clutching a huge, shelled acorn, presented it to Xue Runian like a treasure.
Treasure Seeking Rat: 0 ヾ(･ω･*)ﾉ
Big Brother, eat an acorn!
The Little Wolf Cub was momentarily stunned.
Coming back to his senses, his gaze gradually softened.
I wouldn't sell it even for eighty million!
"Woof~"
Thank you, but you eat it yourself.
"Acorns" are rich in nutrients and can boost the body's immunity, but some people with incomplete gastrointestinal function may experience diarrhea after directly eating acorns...
Xue Runian recalled the item descriptions from the game.
He didn't want to test whether the Little Wolf Cub's gastrointestinal development was complete.
Upon receiving the reply, the Treasure Seeking Rat immediately stuffed the entire acorn into his mouth, his cheeks bulging.
While the data was transferring, the Little Wolf Cub began teaching the Treasure Seeking Rat the Act Cute skill.
True to its name as a "High-level Skill," it took a full hour, by which time the data transfer was complete, for the Treasure Seeking Rat to barely manage to use it.
The Treasure Seeking Rat used Act Cute!
Looking at the Little Hamster in front of him, Xue Runian suddenly felt a surge of cuteness and a strong urge to pet the Treasure Seeking Rat's fur.
So Xue Runian reached out a paw.
"Squeak?"
The Treasure Seeking Rat looked up in confusion.
Big Brother, did I learn it?
The Little Wolf Cub couldn't help but blush slightly, averting his gaze.
Is its power really that great...?
Then, if others saw me use this skill...
Xue Runian felt like he was about to burn up and desperately needed an Ice Shatter skill to cool down.
He managed to stabilize his emotions.
Xue Runian looked at the wristband connected to the data cable on the skill machine, and in the skill bar, the faintly visible words "Act Cute" finally made him nod reservedly.
The Little Wolf Cub earnestly instructed: "Woof woof~"
You've managed to use it, even if it's a bit clumsy. You still need to practice a lot.
If you encounter enemies later, first Play Dead, and if that doesn't work, then Act Cute, and find an opportunity to slip away!
"Squeak!"
The Treasure Seeking Rat nodded vigorously!
As expected of Big Brother, he easily saw through what I was thinking!
Fighting is too scary, but running away is something I'm good at!
Xue Runian looked at the Treasure Seeking Rat, whose eyes were inexplicably glowing as if suddenly ignited, with a strange expression.
What has this kid been secretly imagining behind my back again?
Forget it, I won't bother.
Xue Runian leaped onto the skill machine and picked up the wristband with his mouth.
The Treasure Seeking Rat looked up at the Little Wolf Cub and squeaked.
Big Brother! Do we still need to train skills?
I'll help you!
The white furball's body stiffened, the wristband still in his mouth, and he whimpered in an ambiguous way: "Mmm woof..."
Training skills certainly needs to be trained.
But,
You really don't need to help with the Shapeshifting skill!
Imagine, the Little Wolf Cub, under the Treasure Seeking Rat's worshipful and eager gaze, like he's looking at his big brother, suddenly transforming into a naked, very large human...
Xue Runian couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his wolf fur.
It...it's better to wait until there are no other beasts around.
Looking at the sky, the towering giant trees cast large shadows; morning had just passed.
Time in the Secret Realm is different from the outside world; about forty hours make up a day.
Xue Runian held a large pile of USB drives, scattered them on the ground, making them look like they had naturally fallen.
He then flew to the potion cabinet, carefully collected the empty test tubes, and wiped them with leaves.
The Treasure Seeking Rat curiously watched the Little Wolf Cub busying himself and let out a squeak.
"Squeak?"
Big Brother, what are you doing?
Based on the experience summarized from various games, when doing things, you must not leave any loose ends; you must resolutely eliminate any potential setups!
Xue Runian placed the wristband from his mouth aside and replied: "Woof woof~~"
Come help, clean up the scene!
"Woof woof~"
First, do this, then this, and then...
"Squeak!"
...
It was getting late, and the Little Wolf Cub, looking at the "restored" scene, happily narrowed his eyes and wagged his tail.
The Treasure Seeking Rat stared intently at the fluffy big tail. It must be very comfortable to lie on it...
The Little Wolf Cub turned his head to look at the Treasure Seeking Rat.
The Treasure Seeking Rat blinked blankly.
His small, black eyes were indeed tiny, so Xue Runian didn't know what he was staring at and paid him no mind.
Once out of this valley, they would encounter human Beast Masters.
The Little Wolf Cub looked at the Little Hamster and said seriously: "Woof."
You go.
As far away from here as possible, to the other side of the Summer Secret Realm, find a place where there are no people, hide well, and never come back here.
The Treasure Seeking Rat froze.
"Squeak?"
Big Brother, are you abandoning me?
Didn't you say you'd be my Beast Master?
Xue Runian looked at the Treasure Seeking Rat and said honestly: "Woof."
I haven't Awakened my Beast Master ability yet.
However, within a month, whether I Awaken or not, I will return to this Secret Realm, to the other side of the Summer Secret Realm, to pick you up and bring you home.
Will you wait for me?
The Treasure Seeking Rat raised his paw high.
"Squeak!"
Big Brother, whether you have Beast Master ability or not, in my heart, you will always be the best Pet Beast!
Xue Runian smiled with relief.
The Little Hamster's paw slowly lowered.
But...
"Squeak?"
I can hide, but what about you, Big Brother?
Xue Runian was silent.
I also have things I must do.
Only then can I avoid being captured by others and live in this Beast Master world as a "free" being.
The Little Wolf Cub climbed to the top of the tallest mutated plant, large blades of grass supporting his tiny figure.
The Little Hamster looked up blankly at the figure on the grass blade.
"Squeak...?"
King... where are you going?
"Woof!"
The Little Wolf Cub's eyes were firm.
Step into the Summer Realm, enter the human world!
The Treasure Seeking Rat was moved to tears, sobbing, looking back every three steps, and finally, before disappearing into the grass, he waved a paw at the Little Wolf Cub.
"Squeak!"
King, have a safe journey!
The Little Wolf Cub's body stiffened.
How come that doesn't sound like a good wish?
...
Watching the Treasure Seeking Rat leave.
Xue Runian's eyes were slightly moist.
Then.
He jumped into the grass, transformed into a white furball, and excitedly rolled around.
His tail wagged left and right behind him.
Finally...
He managed to coax the little guy away!
The Shapeshifting ability can finally be used!
