Contract Panda Bamboo Leaf
Yang Jian originally thought that the bamboo houses in the middle of the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest Sea were the tribal lands of the Pandaren.
However, as the group rounded a peak that blocked their view, the density of the bamboo forest in the distance gradually decreased.
A magnificent ancient architectural complex came into view.
From a distance, giant multi-eaved structures were stacked layer upon layer.
Up close, huge natural wood beams and light gold bamboo materials were carved with auspicious cloud patterns and peach motifs.
Most of the bamboo in this Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest Sea was green bamboo.
But near this architectural complex, there were many types of bamboo: black bamboo, purple bamboo, and even golden bamboo... In the largest and most luxurious house.
The three sat on the floor!
"This is my grandson, Bamboo Leaf!"
Yang Jian had seen this little Bamboo Leaf when he entered, after all, it was an adorably clumsy giant panda, who could pretend not to see it?
He used his Heavenly Eye to check the other party's attributes, and sure enough, Bamboo Leaf had a purple talent!
In Yang Jian's eyes, all these little pandas looked the same; without the Heavenly Eye, he couldn't tell the difference... Yang Jian also didn't know how to greet these strange guys.
He could only awkwardly pat his head!
"Why are you patting my head?"
"Uh... you can talk?"
"The panda rolled his eyes, 'I've cultivated the panda clan's cultivation method... I'm already a third-tier, third-tiers can talk, fifth-tiers can shapeshift!'"
The little panda's desire to communicate was very strong.
Zhu Xi and Mo Ren, who were beside him, did not stop him when they saw this!
Encountering new knowledge, Yang Jian asked Mo Ren, who was beside him, with a hint of curiosity.
"Does third-tier mean level thirty?"
"Yes, after the removal of the leveling system, tiers are generally used to describe one's level status..."
"Then Mo Song is also level thirty, why can he not speak?"
When this was mentioned, Zhu Xi directly interjected.
"After signing a contract with a Hunter or Summoner profession, the game system and panel will be reloaded! All cultivated methods will also be completely dissolved, and everything will start from scratch!"
Yang Jian frowned, a little worried that the little panda next to him might go back on his word.
He couldn't help but look over.
"What about shapeshifting?"
"A fifth-tier definitely can't shapeshift; contracted demon beasts need to wait until level 90, the peak of their third advancement, to shapeshift!"
Well... now he was even more worried!
"Don't worry, since I'm here, I'm mentally prepared! I need to become stronger, shapeshifting or not isn't important! My great-grandfather, the Grandfather Giant Bamboo, also always maintained his beast form, rarely changing into a Pandaren..."
"Quick-witted and articulate! Little friend, how old are you?"
"Bamboo Leaf is eighteen years old this year, but is currently still in an infant state..."
Yang Jian was so shocked his jaw almost dropped!
Eighteen years old, and still an infant state?
"Hehe, human, we are demon beasts after all!"
Hmm... you make a very good point!
Since that's the case, why not sign the contract directly?
To avoid further complications.
Having obtained the consent of the patriarch, Zhu Xi.
Yang Jian immediately began to cast Tame Beast on Bamboo Leaf.
With Bamboo Leaf's cooperation, Tame Beast was successful on the first try.
A flash of golden light passed, and Bamboo Leaf disappeared from the house.
When Zhu Xi saw Yang Jian successfully contract Bamboo Leaf, his expression seemed joyful, angry, and also relieved!
"I am one thousand four hundred years old this year, and I have forty-seven children in total..."
Yang Jian was stunned listening to Zhu Xi's words, 'Is this relevant to me?'
"Bamboo Leaf is the grandson of my nineteenth son! His parents were captured by the Abyss Gate eight years ago, and since then, this child has been wholeheartedly cultivating, wanting to fight the Abyss..."
Zhu Xi's words also explained why Bamboo Leaf was so competitive!
"Don't misunderstand, Bamboo Leaf's personality is innate; out of my forty-seven children, only six are still alive, and none of my other grandsons and granddaughters are as diligent as him!"
Yang Jian frowned.
"The mortality rate is so high? How can this fight against the Abyss be considered a success?"
"Simple, if one to two gods appear in this world, and if the Abyss does not have extra gods to send to preside, then the war can end, and the Abyss Gate can be closed!"
"Since the Abyss Gate can be closed, why don't the gods above come and close it?"
"They are neither relatives nor friends, why should they help you? Besides, if the world is peaceful... who would still believe in gods?"
At these words, Yang Jian had nothing to retort!
However, these words were truly not a trick; Yang Jian felt they made a lot of sense.
There has never been a savior, and there's even less hope for gods and emperors... Rather than that, it's better to strive to become a god himself!
But instinctively, Yang Jian felt that this matter shouldn't be that simple!
Yang Jian summoned a pet, and the little panda Bamboo Leaf was summoned out again!
Now, this little guy was completely unable to speak!
The little panda, restored to level one, looked even more adorably clumsy.
He couldn't speak human language, but panda language was clearly still fine.
Bamboo Leaf and Zhu Xi talked for a while longer.
"Little friend, send Bamboo Leaf back to the pet space; he needs to adapt to it there!"
Of course, Yang Jian had no objection.
He was also afraid that after turning someone's grandson into a pet, he would then parade him in front of his grandfather... If this peak-hero panda grandfather became displeased and did something sneaky, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Bamboo Leaf will need your care in the future..."
At this point, Zhu Xi fell silent for a moment... "The one who understands you best is yourself... I also don't know what you need, why don't you just say it! How should I thank you?"
"How can I accept that? I am also a beneficiary!"
Zhu Xi didn't speak, just stared intently at Yang Jian.
After all, he was the dumbest Pandaren! Not good with words!
Don't you speak first?
Yang Jian was also stumped... I'm a level thirty newcomer, I don't even know what good things you have... and you're asking me to make requests myself?
Oh, you Zhu Xi, you look so honest, but you're digging a pit for me here?
If he asked for too much, they'd just say no... if he asked for too little, it would just suit their intentions... Although he thought this, Yang Jian showed no unusual expression on his face.
He couldn't see the specific attributes of the little panda yet.
However, just looking at its racial heritage and individual aptitude, he was definitely stronger than Mo Song, not weaker!
So, just for Bamboo Leaf alone, Yang Jian felt this trip was not in vain; everything else was a bonus!
Having reassured himself, Yang Jian began to consider what conditions to propose!
"Give me two more advanced dungeons, okay?"
Yang Jian hadn't encountered advanced dungeons in a long time!
And the two dungeons in the guild stronghold now made all of Blue Star incredibly envious... Unfortunately, Yang Jian's guild stronghold wasn't large enough at the moment.
When they had a guild residence later.
Opening paid dungeons could make the guild residence a tourist attraction... "Okay! No problem, you can pick one level 30 and one level 45 to take away!"
Yang Jian: ... "Also, I would like a copy of the intelligence data on the various layers of the salvation Heavens and the Abyss..."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi looked at Yang Jian with approval.
"You may!"
Yang Jian thought about it, the things he wanted, in this era where the game had faded, might not exist, and even if they did, the other party might not be willing to give them... "Then thank you, senior!"
"That's it?"
Zhu Xi asked with an incredulous look.
"That's it!"
I've said my piece, whether you understand is up to you!
In fact, dungeons are priceless treasures!
But it is also an undeniable fact that they have lost their original purpose in the Tian Yao Realm!
Information is even more priceless!
But this is reproducible... If you give someone a piece of information, it doesn't mean you no longer have it yourself!
You still possess this information; it's just that others also have it... Thinking of his adorable little grandson, who was already someone else's hostage... a "bear-hostage."
Would this kid secretly abuse him?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible... Zhu Xi sighed!
...When Yang Jian left, he was in high spirits.
Besides the things he had asked for.
He also took away many good things that Zhu Xi had forcefully given him.
For example, there were four orange-quality bamboo materials.
Purple, white, gold, and green jade bamboo!
These four bamboos were all of orange quality, considered rare and excellent items.
Yang Jian suspected there might be golden quality bamboo here... If there was, it would be excellent material for Yang Jian to craft a divine bow!
Orange... honestly, it was a bit low-tier.
But thinking too much now was useless; he hadn't even seen the auxiliary materials yet.
In addition to these basic items, Zhu Xi also gave Yang Jian an orange bow!
"[Green Bamboo, Ten Directions' Wrath (Orange)]"
"[Equipment Level: Level 50]"
"[Off-hand, Bow]"
"[Attack + 1050]"
"[Strength + 200]"
"[Agility + 200]"
"[Stamina + 200]"
"[Critical Hit + 200]"
"[Equip: Normal attacks have a 20% chance to increase your critical hit by 1000 points, lasting 14 seconds.]"
"[Equip: When casting a skill, there is a 20% chance to trigger a double cast!]"
"[Durability: 120 / 120]"
Yang Jian was quite satisfied with this equipment; after all, with four attributes and two affixes, it was a top-tier orange item!
If he found something better in the future, he could always absorb it... The other party didn't send any materials.
Although the game system was gone.
However, secondary professions had all become the main professions for later transmigrators.
The equipment in the Tian Yao Realm was manufactured by professions like Blacksmiths, Leatherworkers, and Tailors.
When crafting that equipment, these materials were used!
Of course, the most valuable item was the Awakening Stone in Yang Jian's hand!
Awakening Stones are standard good items in high-martial worlds.
Many transmigrators in high-martial worlds, their first step to rise, was to touch this Awakening Stone... For the Tian Yao Realm, Awakening Stones were not particularly difficult to obtain.
But for the current Blue Star, it was a treasure!
Because for a long time, Blue Star did not have the conditions to obtain an Awakening Stone!
"[Name: Awakening Stone (Medium)]"
"[Description: After the Abyss Gate opened and the Abyss aura invaded Blue Star, the Awakening Stone can allow ordinary people to awaken professions, secondary professions, or talents!]"
"[Note: A medium-sized Awakening Stone can awaken a total of fifty thousand people.]"
"Too bad, it's not permanent!"
Mo Ren, flying with him in the sky, heard Yang Jian's mumble and couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Everything requires energy consumption... where is there anything that can provide energy eternally?"
"Where did this Awakening Stone come from?"
Mo Ren did not answer directly.
"Don't you already have intelligence about salvation and the Abyss? It's quite detailed in there; you can read it more when you have time!"
Since the old man didn't want to say, Yang Jian didn't ask further.
Now that he had this intelligence, he would definitely need to read it carefully later!
When they returned to Moon Wolf Valley, Mo Song was not yet done.
"That child Mo Song, his foundation was quite poor before; in fact, the racial talent of the Howling Moon Wolf Clan and shadow power don't really match! The conflict between the two hampered Mo Song's aptitude..."
Only in the New World, under the intervention of game rules, could the balance of internal energy be perfectly achieved!
Originally, Mo Xuan only wanted to gamble on the future, and thankfully, his son won the gamble!
Yang Jian did not want to expose himself as a Hunter who could use the Druid's travel form... Judging by the druid king ring, it was at least a demigod item!
Yang Jian did not want to test the wolf nature!
So he stayed in Moon Wolf Valley and did not go out again... One day later, a wolf howl echoed through Moon Wolf Valley... When the black wolf, now a size larger, stood before Yang Jian.
Patting its massive wolf head, Yang Jian nodded with satisfaction.
Without the game system's boost, Yang Jian only knew that Mo Song was probably of purple quality now.
He couldn't tell anything else.
So... let's go, home!
