Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

Lin Chen walked up to the old woman and stopped.

The old man smiled slightly, as if he had known that Lin Chen would come, and even took a step forward to greet him.

"Chosen One, are you here to choose a [Spiritual Pet]?"

As he spoke, the old man slowly raised the walking stick in his hand, and then carefully knocked on the surface of the "eggs" on the surrounding blankets, making a "do-do-do" sound.

At this time, Lin Chen also saw clearly the distribution of these eggs.

They are placed on three flat blankets, which come in three colors.

Divided into black, red, and blue.

There are the same number of spirit pet eggs placed on each color, but their shapes and sizes are completely opposite. It is difficult for Lin Chen to find two individuals with similar shapes.

"Let me introduce you to the Chosen One." The old man began to move the cane in his hand.

Then, she pointed at the black blanket. "The pet eggs on this black blanket are for [Blood Pet] pets. The pets hatched from these eggs will become your most effective frontline and shield units! [Blood Pets] possess powerful stats and considerable HP. They also possess skills that increase your defense. With them, you can freely deliver damage from the rear on the battlefield."

The next moment, the crutch moved towards the red blanket.

"And on this red carpet, [Battle Pet] spirit pets will hatch. As the name suggests, Battle Pets are your powerful, sharp swords! They possess powerful physical damage output capabilities. If you are a magic class, [Battle Pets] will make up for your lack of physical damage output. Some of their specific skills will greatly enhance your physical attack methods."

Finally, the crutches were placed on the blue blanket.

"You can probably guess that the pets on this blanket are Magic Pets. Unlike Combat Pets, they are intelligence-type pets that specialize in magic. They are the best choice for physical-type players."

After finishing the explanation, the old woman put her crutches under her hands again and supported them on the ground, then stared at Lin Chen with a smile.

"Chosen One, do you have a favorite type of spiritual pet?"

Lin Chen recalled his previous life.

Following the advice of the spirit pet master, he chose a magic pet. After all, he was a physical warrior and his own magic damage was equal to zero. So in order to make up for the magic damage and maximize the high damage, Lin Chen had no choice but to choose a magic pet.

But now, Lin Chen is not particularly anxious to make a choice.

He possesses the bug skill [Resurrection of the Dead]. Whether it is Shield Mountain and Qiluo, or even Huang Dachui and others, they all have extremely strong auxiliary capabilities, especially Shield Mountain and Qiluo, who can act as [Blood Pet] and [Battle Pet] respectively!

According to my path, I have no shortage of so-called spiritual pets.

but……

Lin Chen looked up at the old NPC in front of him and asked, "Excuse me, does a [Battle Pet] type spirit pet have skills that can enhance the player's own attack power?"

The old woman nodded immediately.

"Yes, Chosen One, but I see your profession..." the old woman said, "You should be a magician. Although battle pets are indeed your best choice, their ability to increase the player's own attack power should be of no use to you."

"It's okay." Lin Chen was now certain. He pointed at the red blanket and said, "Help me choose a [Battle Pet]."

The old woman chuckled softly, "No, no, no... I'm not choosing for you. You choose for yourself."

The old woman moved the red blanket in front of her. "I have three levels of hatching options here: [Bronze], [Silver], [Gold], and [Platinum]. Which one would you choose?"

Lin Chen slapped his forehead.

Yes, how could I have almost forgotten about this?

Spirit pets are similar to equipment in some aspects, and they also have their own "levels".

The quality levels from low to high are: [Bronze], [Silver], [Gold], [Platinum], [Diamond], [Emerald] and finally [Heavenly Grade].

The seven levels determine the strength of the basic attributes of the hatched spirit pet.

I remember that in Lin Chen’s previous life, his magical pet was only a bronze level one. Even until it was upgraded to level 80, its abilities were still mediocre.

"Is the highest level here only platinum?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yes, after all, this is only a mid-level main city." The old woman smiled slightly and said, "If you want to obtain a higher-quality spirit pet, you need to reach an advanced or highest-level main city. The spirit pet masters there have higher-level spirit pet eggs."

"Okay, I understand. So if I want to choose the platinum level, what do I need? Does it cost money?"

"Of course, everything requires money..." The old woman picked out an ordinary egg and said, "A platinum-grade hatching egg costs 10 gold coins. I think you should switch to another one. After all, a bronze-grade hatching egg only costs 5 silver coins."

As she spoke, the old woman was about to put down the platinum egg and pick up the bronze egg instead.

"No, let's just go with platinum."

Lin Chen stretched out his hand and placed it on the platinum hatching egg. The next moment, his 150 gold coins in the currency column of his backpack began to flow away slowly, and finally became 145.

After a moment, the platinum-level hatching egg in his hand had become Lin Chen's prop.

"Hmm?" The NPC was slightly startled. "Where did you... get so much money?"

This is the second time I have received guests for the opening of the intermediate main city of the Land of the Hunting God. I still remember that last time, all the players I received bought [Bronze] hatching eggs.

Even though some people had finally reached level 50, he could only sell a few [Silver Level] hatching eggs.

After all, a platinum egg that costs 5 gold coins is basically out of reach for players at their current level.

Lin Chen did not answer the NPC's question. He just stood there, concentrating on activating the magic power in his body.

His fingers gently stroked the spirit pet egg in his hand, and magic power slowly flowed into it like a trickle. As the magic power was injected, the spirit pet egg began to emit a faint light, and something inside seemed to be trying to break out.

Sudden.

"Gulu gulu..."

A strange sound came from the spirit pet egg, and some power was struggling violently to break free from the eggshell.

Then, the egg began to shake violently, even more violently than when the pocket jar broke.

The old woman stood aside, watching all this intently.

From this moment on, her eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity, as if she had never seen such a scene before.

Finally, she suddenly showed an expression of realization.

"You...you are the second round?"

As the old woman finished speaking, the spirit pet egg began to shake more and more violently, as if the entire space was trembling with its shaking.

This is simply not the sound that would occur when a [Platinum Egg] is hatching!

But platinum eggs can only hatch platinum-quality spirit pets, and the current commotion can only mean one thing.

The player who activated the hatching egg should be a second-round player!

Finally, in a dazzling light, the eggshell suddenly cracked open, and a small spirit pet poked its head out of the egg, looking at this strange world curiously.

"aim."

cat?

Lin Chen was stunned.

A small spirit pet cat poked its head out from among them. The cat's fur was unique, showing a rare silver color, and each hair exuded a faint magical luster, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

At this moment, it jumped off Lin Chen's hand, as if it was briefly familiarizing itself with everything around it.

In less than half a minute, the kitten began to move quickly. Its body was agile and flexible, and every jump seemed to leave a graceful arc in the air.

What’s even more special is that this spirit cat has a mysterious rune mark on its forehead. When the rune mark lights up, its eyes will become deeper and release dazzling light.

After a few more seconds, the cat's body began to grow gradually, the luster on its body gradually faded, and its hair began to grow wildly. The kitten, which was originally only the size of a thumb, gradually became the size of a lynx in just a dozen seconds.

When Lin Chen lived on Earth, he once had a cat, a fat orange cat. However, in comparison, the size of the spiritual pet in front of him was even larger than that orange cat.

The silver-white cat was squatting on the ground, looking up at Lin Chen.

[Ding, please name your pet.]

The system sound rang in Lin Chen's brain, and he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the old woman.

But the NPC in front of her obviously focused all her attention on the white cat. She looked the pet up and down, muttering to herself.

"What quality...is this diamond...that's not right...could it be..."

Lin Chen looked at the cat again.

After hesitating for a long time, just when Lin Chen was struggling to decide whether to name it [Mimi] or [Nini], he overheard an NPC watching beside him say, "What a white cat."

Lin Chen had an idea in his mind. He raised his hand and wrote two words in the name box.

【noob】.

Lin Chen held his forehead with his hands, truly impressed. He was such a poor name picker, yet he had to constantly come up with names for units and families...

However, as soon as the two words "Xiaobai" were confirmed, the white cat jumped up instantly and squatted steadily on Lin Chen's shoulder.

At this time, Lin Chen also discovered that he could not only open his own attribute panel, but also had a pattern of a small animal on the lower left side of his panel. After clicking it, Xiaobai's attribute panel also appeared in front of him.

"Spiritual Pet: [Xiaobai].

Level: 1.

Quality: [Diamond Level] (upgradable).

Gender: Male.

Health: 1000.

Physical attack power: 300.

Spell attack power: 120.

Physical defense: 150.

Spell defense: 110.

Skills: None.

Learnable skills: Insufficient level.

Current [Intimacy]: 1.

Current [Loyalty]: 100.

"

Lin Chen took a careful look at these basic attributes, and when he saw Xiaobai's qualities, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Yes, there is something wrong with this [Diamond Level]!

Lin Chen even glanced at the old woman in front of him.

He clearly bought a [Platinum Egg] from the other party for 5 gold coins, but how did it hatch a diamond-level spirit pet?

What Lin Chen cared about most was the three words "upgradable" written at the back.

According to the settings for spirit pets in the Land of the Hunting God, the quality of each spirit pet is determined after it is hatched.

At least in his previous life, Lin Chen had never heard that the quality of a spirit pet could be improved.

But now, not only did he get a diamond-level spirit pet from the platinum egg, but what was even more incredible was that the quality of this spirit pet could actually be improved?

"Is it related to my identity as a second-round player?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.

These words startled the old woman so much that her hunched body looked as if she would stumble and fall to the ground and die at any moment.

"If I guess correctly, yes." The old man's voice was no longer as kind as before, but became a little serious.

Xiaobai was sitting on Lin Chen's shoulder and licking Lin Chen's face with his tongue. Because he was not wearing a mask, Lin Chen only felt his face was wet and slippery, but he did not reach out to wipe it, but just touched Xiaobai's furry head.

"Okay, in that case, thank you in advance."

Lin Chen knew that these NPCs all had the same nature, whether it was Xiaoyun, the pocket jar merchant, or the spirit pet user who was selling spirit pets in front of him. There was an elusive force restricting their every word and action, as if as long as they said something to Lin Chen, they would fall directly into the abyss.

So Lin Chen was too lazy to ask. In the level 40 intermediate main city, the information these NPCs could reveal was not as much as Lin Chen imagined.

It seems... I have to upgrade quickly and go to the advanced main city to find out.

Lin Chen turned around and was about to leave.

But the next moment, the old woman behind him suddenly said something, something that made Lin Chen stop immediately.

"Chosen One, you... have already used the [Returning Ruins Scroll], right?"

Lin Chen's pupils trembled, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.

He stood there expressionlessly.

"Oh? So, you can mention the name of this prop?"

Lin Chen once thought that the NPCs would keep silent about the Guixu Scroll, a special item that could allow him to return to the real world. However, he did not expect that they would take the initiative to mention it to him.

The old woman smiled slightly behind his back.

"What's there to be afraid of?" She said weakly, "I'm already old. Do you think I care about this?"

Lin Chen finally turned around at this time. He stared at the old man, as if thinking about something.

Finally, Lin Chen nodded cryptically: "I used it. I returned to the real world briefly, but... only for ten minutes."

Lin Chen subconsciously opened his backpack. The Guixu Scroll was still lying quietly in the lower right corner. As his level had reached 40, it was now in a "usable" state.

As long as Lin Chen is willing, he can even use the Guixu Scroll to return to reality now.

"Really..." The old man suddenly stepped forward and said, "Then, esteemed Chosen One of the Second Round, may I ask... are you from Earth?"
