Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Cross base.

After the Misty Island incident, both the tail-end team and the elite team were exempted. Not only did they not have to take part in the next test, they were also awarded a lot of credits.

For the last-place team, this is undoubtedly a great joy.

With the rewards of the same credits as the elite team, they are no longer the last-place team!

What's even more exciting is that Dean Nicol promised Bubulu and his friends that they could go on vacation to a country called Palestine for free!

This is so exciting, so everyone is happily packing their bags and preparing to go on vacation to Bales.

Only Yiyin seemed a little depressed, because he knew that this trip to Bales was obviously not easy.

"[Ding! Mission completed, attribute upgrade obtained]"

Following the system prompt, Yi Yin also received the reward of attribute improvement, but now he is still a little uninterested in checking his attribute panel.

It goes without saying that Yiyin is still a double D in strength and speed, which is inferior to the level of normal people.

Monsters will actively downgrade to match their masters' strength, as exemplified by Diqi's Barbary Golden Lion and the Great Saint King of the Lion Hall. Even if Yiyin's Green-Haired Turtle were upgraded by chance, Yiyin's current strength would still prevent it from being controlled.

Let me put it this way, for example, one day in the future, the Green-haired Turtle is suddenly upgraded from D-level to C-level, but Yiyin's attributes are still both D in strength and speed. Then, in order to match Yiyin's strength, the Green-haired Turtle can only perform at the level of a D-level monster.

Therefore, Monster Master and monsters should make progress together.

Unlike Bubulu and other "lucky guys" who were born with supernatural powers and had constant cheats, Yiyin could only rely on constantly completing the tasks issued by the system to improve his attributes if he wanted to improve his strength quickly.

Now, Yi Yin was almost certain that the system would soon issue him the task of solving the Bales problem. This was great. As long as he stayed with Bubulu and the others, there was no way they would suddenly be wiped out, right?

However, most hopes are dashed, and Yiyin's is no exception.

Just when Yiyin was full of hope, an uninvited guest who came quietly broke his fantasy.

She was a woman wearing a long skirt, a hint of green, and squinting eyes. Well, she was actually Qinglong.

"Senior Qinglong."

One never comes here for no reason. Seeing Qinglong running from the Four Gods Base to the Cross Base from afar, Yiyin had some guesses about what she was going to do.

"What a beautiful young lady."

Jiaozi secretly poked Yiyin's back, "Yiyin, do you know her? Who is she to you?"

"I'm Qinglong, currently serving as the chairman of the preparatory committee of the Four Gods Base, and I'm also a senior student of Yiyin."

Qinglong's answer was exemplary. "All of you are Iin-san's companions, right? Iin-san was granted special permission by Chairman Tianyi to return to Cross Base to participate in the Food Festival because of his outstanding performance at the school festival. Now that the Food Festival is over, Iin-san must return to the Four Gods Base to complete his exchange student studies."

"how so……"

Bubulu was a little sad. "I thought Yiyin would be able to go on adventures with us after coming back this time. Alas, Yiyin can't join us on this trip to Bales."

"Yiyin, you have to behave well and don't embarrass me, the big sister!" There were tears in Selena's eyes.

"..."

Yi Yin knew that this time he had no choice but to leave. After all, he had completed one more mission on Misty Island, so it wasn't a big loss.

"Well, everyone, I'm leaving now. By the way, if you see a doctor named Chimo in Barrasse, please say hello to him for me."

"Doctor Qimo? It seems that your adventure experience is not much worse than ours." Di Qi had never heard of this person, but he still kept Yiyin's instructions in mind.

"Goodbye, everyone!"

Yiyin waved goodbye to Bubulu and others and left the Cross Base again.

.

Dragon worm.

I didn't expect Qinglong to be so frugal. Even when he was out on a mission, he would take transportation at his own expense.

Yiyin and Qinglong sat face to face in a two-person box. They felt inexplicably restrained and didn't know what to say.

"Don't be afraid, Yiyin, I won't eat you."

Looking at Qinglong's smiling face, Yiyin couldn't help but recall the day when he first arrived at the Four Gods Base and Qinglong ordered Baihu to destroy his body, and felt a little scared.

"Senior Qinglong, how long will I have to be an exchange student at your base?"

Yi Yin mustered up the courage to ask, "Can you give me a definite answer?"

"Hehehe...it doesn't matter how long it takes. Chairman Tianyi has given me full authority to manage the preparatory and exchange students."

Although Qinglong's tone was calm, he actually harbored murderous intent.

What does that mean? Qinglong has the final say on how long Yiyin stays as an exchange student! Whether it's just one day or a year, as long as Qinglong doesn't give the go-ahead, Yiyin can't leave.

Unless Yiyin can serve Qinglong well.

This is also the reason why Qinglong chose to rent a private room for two.

She needs Yiyin's help with something!

Yi Yin was not stupid. After all, he was two years older before he traveled through time. So he asked:

"Senior Qinglong, if I'm not mistaken, if you summoned me back now, it must be because you need my help."

"You are very smart."

Qinglong said, "I'll be frank. Actually, the Four Gods Base is closed for the holiday. I asked you to come back because I hope you can do me a small personal favor. Once you've done that, you'll be grateful to us."

"us?"

Yiyin found this very interesting. Could it be that this favor was related to the four goddesses?

"Yes, to be exact, it is related to Xuanwu."

Qinglong paused, then continued:

"Because of Xuanwu's special status, she needs to perform a sacrificial ceremony every year, and during the ceremony, three people are needed to guard her. In previous years, Baihu Zhuque and I were the ones who guarded her, but this year I happened to receive a mission and will be away for a long time. This left one person free to guard Xuanwu, and that's when I thought of you."

"Why me?" Yi Yin asked, "Besides, I really don't understand anything about this kind of control."

"Because Xuanwu trusts you very much. Although she didn't say it explicitly, I can see that gatekeeping is a very serious matter. Xuanwu is essentially entrusting her life to the gatekeeper. Apart from the three of us, you are the only one in the Four Gods Base who has a good relationship with her."

Honestly, Yiyin didn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility. If he failed, Xuanwu would definitely blame him... but that wasn't the point. The point was, doing this wouldn't benefit him at all.

The gratitude of the Four Goddesses? Is there any need to obtain something so abstract?

But he couldn't not do it. After all, Qinglong had already beaten him once.

"Okay, Qinglong-senpai, I'll go. When does it start?"

"Let's go back to the Four Gods Base today. The sacrificial ceremony will begin at noon tomorrow, and tomorrow morning, the Xuanwu tribesmen will take you to the special sacrificial site. As for me, after returning to the Four Gods Base, I will have to set off to carry out my mission. I may not be able to contact you during this period, so thank you for your hard work, Yiyin."

Qinglong explained everything very clearly, and her signature smile remained on her face throughout the whole process.

Looking at the squinting-eyed woman in front of him, Yi Yin suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He was actually being controlled by her so easily.
