84: Chapter 84 Pet Potions

Kyoto Airport.

"Since the two of you finally made the trip, why not stay a few more days?"

Jiang He shook his head. "No, I need to go back and keep an eye on Mumu's leveling. If I'm not home, that girl will probably be slacking off again."

Beside him, Bai Luoyao was clearly a bit annoyed. "I have things to do back home too."

She couldn't wait to fly back to Magic City immediately and build an exact replica of the Blood Fiend Guild's operations base.

Near noon, Jiang He returned home and immediately logged into the game.

Just as he returned to the guild territory.

Sure enough... Mumu was squatting at the village entrance, holding the Young Dragon, though he didn't know what she was doing.

Before leaving, Jiang He had specifically instructed Little Tiger not to let Mumu play, as she needed to level up.

"Li Mumu, what are you doing?"

Jiang He walked over with a stern face. He really couldn't take his eyes off this girl for a second without her slacking off.

"Ah, Brother, why are you back?" Mumu was a bit surprised.

"What, you're not happy I'm back?" Jiang He looked at her.

But before Mumu could answer, the Young Dragon suddenly broke free from her arms, ran over to Jiang He, and let out a whimpering sound that made it seem unwell.

The Young Dragon's eyes were dim, lacking its usual energy. Looking at its mouth, it was stained with green liquid, and there was a pile of empty bottles thrown at Mumu's feet.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang He was shocked.

The Young Dragon had undergone a drastic transformation.

[Lava Dragon · Growth Stage]

How did it jump from the hatchling stage to the growth stage in just one day?

"Mumu, what did you feed the Little Dog?" Jiang He pressed.

Mumu pouted and handed him the potion bottle in her hand.

[Pet Potion: Can accelerate growth, repair injuries, and increase affinity.]

"This... where did you get this?" Jiang He was very puzzled. This stuff was practically a top-tier supplement for pets!

"It's in the Guild Shop; it only costs 1 Contribution Point."

Jiang He then remembered that the Guild Shop had already opened. He immediately opened the Guild Shop interface.

Red Potions, Mental Potions, Pet Potions... and there was even equipment? Although it was only the low-level apocalypse set, it was enough to surprise him. However, the items in the Guild Shop were limited and only refreshed once every seven days.

Jiang He glanced at the long string of Contribution Points in his account, waved his hand, and bought out all the Pet Potions and Mental Potions.

Then, he suddenly thought of the Game Shop. Ever since this feature was enabled, he hadn't had time to take a proper look. He needed to check it out right away.

"What the...?" Jiang He's eyes widened.

The Game Shop contained rows of item lists:

Red Potions, Mental Potions, Pet Potions, Rage Potions...

Town Portal Scrolls, ruby, sapphires...

apocalypse set, Abyss Set... and none of them were limited!

Especially when he saw that the Mental Potion was unlimited, Jiang He's eyes lit up. The price was also very cheap, only 10 copper coins per bottle.

A cunning smile appeared on his face. "Mumu, do you think leveling is quite hard?"

As soon as Mumu saw this smile, she immediately shuddered and stammered, "N-no, it's not hard. I-I'll go level up right now."

Just as she was about to run off, Jiang He grabbed her and pulled her back.

"Sigh, if it's hard, just take a break. Brother doesn't blame you." Jiang He said in a "gentle" tone.

"R-really?" Mumu wasn't sure.

"Of course. I care about my little sister very much. Come, sit down and let's chat." Jiang He pressed her onto the stone steps.

But the next second, hundreds and thousands of bottles of Mental Potion appeared on the ground like a small mountain.

"The weather is hot, drink some potion to quench your thirst." Jiang He casually handed her a bottle, beaming with a smile.

"Wuwu... Brother, I want to go level up." Mumu began to beg for mercy.

"You want to go level up?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Hehe... it's too late," Jiang He's smile remained unchanged, "Drink it. You aren't going anywhere until you finish it all."

After saying that, Jiang He called over Li Qing and instructed him to keep a close eye on Mumu until she finished drinking, and that he absolutely could not let her leave until she was done. Li Qing immediately executed the order seriously, even calling over Little Tiger and a group of other children to surround Mumu.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mumu, with tears in her eyes, reluctantly began to drink bottle after bottle.

Returning to Chang'an City, inside the Viscounts Manor.

Jiang He's heart raced, and he immediately summoned Ah Li.

"Master." Ah Li's voice was still soft, but carried a hint of imperceptible weakness.

Jiang He waved his hand. "Quick, see if this potion is of any help to you."

Ever since he subdued Ah Li, she had been in a weakened state. Jiang He had assumed she would gradually recover while staying in the battle pet space, but there had been no change. After seeing the effect of the Pet Potion on the Little Lava Dragon, he thought: since the Little Dog could grow so quickly, would drinking it accelerate Ah Li's recovery?

Ah Li took it, glanced at it, and drank a bottle without much thought. A moment later, a hint of joy appeared on her face. "Master, this potion is helpful to me."

But before Jiang He could finish rejoicing, Ah Li frowned again. "It's just that the recovery effect on my injuries is very weak... This potion must be very precious, right? For me to fully recover, it might require..."

Before she could finish, Jiang He didn't say a word and waved his hand.

The room was instantly piled high with Pet Potions, the bottles clinking together with a crisp sound.

"Drink! Drink as much as you want! There's plenty of potion!" Jiang He waved his hand grandly.

Ah Li was stunned on the spot.

She had never seen such a magical potion; she had assumed it was an extremely rare item.

She hadn't expected... Master...

Since Jiang He had said so, Ah Li didn't stand on ceremony anymore. She sat directly on the floor, holding a bottle in each hand, and drank happily.

Jiang He kept his eyes fixed on Ah Li's attribute panel the entire time, watching her status change, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

Two hours later, Jiang He stood up with a "whoosh."

[Perfect Grade Pet · Phantom Fox Demon · Ah Li (Lv50)]

HP: 800,000 / 800,000

Attack: 45,000

"800,000 HP? 45,000 Attack?!" Jiang He was shocked. He was certain that if Ah Li were a wild BOSS, she would definitely be at a nightmare level for players.

"A-Ah Li, h-how do you feel?" Jiang He was a bit excited.

Ah Li covered her mouth and chuckled, joy showing in the corners of her eyes. "Thank you, Master. Ah Li's injuries have fully recovered. I can help Master fight properly from now on!"

Jiang He had waited too long for this day. In his excitement, he picked up Ah Li and spun around twice.

Ah Li was made to blush by his actions.

"Quick! Let's go out and grind monsters to level up!"

"Huh?" Ah Li didn't react in time.

Plague City.

Jiang He had been here before with his teammates to rush levels, but they hadn't ventured deep into the most dangerous areas. He knew there was a big BOSS hidden inside.

Now that Ah Li was fully revived and at full status, he decided to try soloing it.

They advanced, cutting through enemies like slicing vegetables.

Jiang He was grinning from ear to ear.

Mutant Zombies, Plague Rats... in front of the spells Ah Li cast so casually, they were as brittle as paper.

Wasn't this the scene he had dreamed of? He could sweep the map without even lifting a finger!

They traveled unimpeded all the way to the deepest part of Plague City.

The surroundings were filled with grey-green miasma fog.

Within the fog, a massive figure loomed, standing there, occasionally letting out low, muffled roars.

Before Jiang He could speak, Ah Li coldly raised her head, and an energy magic ball whistled out. "Pretending to be a ghost!"

A string of huge, crimson damage numbers instantly floated up in the fog, followed by a painful and furious roar!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Heavy footsteps suddenly rang out like war drums.

That massive figure broke through the fog, its outline becoming clear.

The smile on Jiang He's face instantly vanished, and he hurriedly pulled Ah Li back several steps.

[Lord of Plague · Kes (Level 50) Lord-tier BOSS]

HP: 550,000

Attack: 50,000

This was a humanoid giant with a sickly, blue-black complexion, standing over three meters tall.

Its body was ulcerated in many places, oozing thick, foul-smelling pus.

The most terrifying thing was that on its shoulders, it grew two twisted, deformed heads, giving it a strong sense of being stitched together and an extremely uncomfortable, eerie feeling!

And the crucial point was that this guy's attribute panel was almost on par with Ah Li's!

The wild joy that had just welled up in Jiang He's heart was instantly doused by a bucket of cold water from reality.

It wasn't as if having Ah Li meant he could really run rampant...

He had just raised the thought of taking Ah Li and running away.

But Ah Li beside him had already narrowed her eyes, launching an attack first. "Noisy!"
