Chapter 17: Tang Tiaotiao's Shock (Seeking further reads)

"Oh, oh, then how is Pang Dahai the Scroll Master's talent?"

Tang Tiaotiao hummed and pouted, "Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, from the teachers' attitude towards him, he seems to be quite talented."

"What about you?"

"This Young Miss naturally receives a lot of attention," Tang Tiaotiao lifted her chin, "but the teachers seem to be more interested in my Little Jade Rabbit."

Wu Xian understood and said no more.

They chatted all the way to the fortress exit.

"Follow me closely once we're outside, don't run off," Tang Tiaotiao instructed from the front, "It's your first time in a copy, you don't understand the dangers of a dimensional copy."

Little did she know, Wu Xian was no longer a rookie.

Stepping out of the fortress, the world before them instantly opened up, a barren expanse where giant, mountain-range-like structures could vaguely be seen.

Not far away, a giant, abandoned mining pit was also visible.

"Let's go over there first!"

Tang Tiaotiao pulled out an electronic map resembling a phone, confirming their target direction.

"You have a map?"

Wu Xian curiously looked at the electronic map screen in Tang Tiaotiao's hand.

Goodness, various terrains and locations were marked clearly.

Tang Tiaotiao said without thinking, "Maps for this kind of low-Rank copy can be downloaded for free from the studio; it's convenient for everyone to gather inspiration."

As she spoke, she threw out a scroll, which transformed into a uniquely styled small mountain bike.

Wu Xian, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but wonder, "This car is a product of your family, isn't it?"

"Of course," Tang Tiaotiao casually introduced, "It's the Wildcat Generation Four, the [copy] model. So many people want to buy it but can't."

Wu Xian clicked his tongue in admiration.

Soon after, they successfully arrived at the target location, which looked like an abandoned super-large mining base.

As soon as they arrived, two drone-like mechanical monsters in the sky locked onto them, emitting bursts of alarm sounds. Aiming lasers also locked on, followed by energy projectiles.

Biubiu...!

Tang Tiaotiao smiled calmly, and the silver scroll [Moon Messenger - Jade Rabbit] made a dazzling appearance. The painting spirit's Rank had already been raised to two stars.

Moonlight shone, and a two-dimensional-style humanoid rabbit appeared, dressed in a bright yellow palace dress with flowing ribbons, a truly adorable fairy rabbit.

The energy projectiles shot by the monsters were easily blocked by the moonlight defense surrounding the Jade Rabbit.

"How about it, isn't Little Jade Rabbit amazing?" Tang Tiaotiao asked, showing off.

Then, the Jade Rabbit fairy maiden waved her small hand, shooting out two crescent-shaped moonlight attacks, instantly blowing up the two drone monsters.

"Amazing!"

Wu Xian nodded in approval, and incidentally released the Home Guardian Divine Tiger.

Unlike the Jade Rabbit's cuteness and beauty, the Divine Tiger was clearly much more imposing and majestic.

At the same time, mechanical monsters, drawn by the alarm, were rapidly approaching, in various forms.

There were human-like types, semi-human types, and half-human, half-beast types, with more Rank 1 monsters and fewer Rank 2 monsters.

Among them, two mechanical monsters clearly had a different style from the others, quickly attracting the attention of both of them.

"Huh, those two mechanical monsters have been plant-mutated?" Tang Tiaotiao was both surprised and delighted.

They saw that the two mechanical monsters were covered in strange vines, with various parts of their bodies replaced by vine plants. Vines grew from within them and rapidly wrapped towards the two of them.

The Jade Rabbit and the Divine Tiger quickly responded, repelling the vine attacks.

"Strange, why would there be plant mutation here?"

Tang Tiaotiao was full of excitement, leading Wu Xian to charge in. They continuously encountered more and more plant-mutated mechanical creatures.

The Jade Rabbit displayed extraordinary combat power, somehow acquiring a pestle in her hand. One swing, and the monsters were silenced.

The Home Guardian Divine Tiger was not to be outdone, tearing apart several mechanical monsters with its pounces and rips.

But those plant-mutated monsters were extremely troublesome. After being broken apart, they could still be pulled back together by the vines, leaving the two of them stunned.

"No, we can't get in with just the two of us!"

Tang Tiaotiao now held a [copy] ice sprayer, spewing out clumps of frost energy, forcing back and slowing down the charging monsters.

Just as Wu Xian was hesitating whether to release the God of Wealth, a series of cannonballs struck from behind, landing among the mechanical monsters.

Boom boom boom... Immediately after, Pang Dahai's scouting team appeared from behind.

Pang Dahai sat leaning on the shoulder of a humanoid mechanical painting spirit, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Plant-mutated machines, good stuff!"

Several teammates next to him also had shining eyes.

"Get out, we found this place first!" Tang Tiaotiao was inexplicably annoyed.

To her, anyone else could come, but not Pang Dahai's team.

"Tsk ~" Pang Dahai clearly didn't take the two of them seriously, "copy monsters have always been fair game. What if you came first? Come on, everyone, let's charge in together!"

With that, the team went all out, charging deeper into the mechanical base.

Tang Tiaotiao was so anxious she just stared, but there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, Pang Dahai and his group were also quite disgusted by those plant-mutated monsters.

"What the hell? Can't kill them?"

"They're shattered into pieces, but they can still reassemble?"

"I'm numb, those plant vines aren't afraid of my flamethrower?"

"Not only are they not afraid of fire, their toughness and hardness are astonishingly strong," another team member, holding a handsome long sword, said gravely, "My Profound Heaven Sword can't even cut them!"

"Hiss ~ These aren't plants at all, they're high-strength cables!"

At this moment, everyone on both sides realized the power of these plant-mutated monsters before them.

With the Fusion of plant and mechanical systems, one naturally couldn't view those vines with the perspective of "plants" anymore.

In contrast, Tang Tiaotiao's Jade Rabbit was still able to achieve some effect, at least it could smash those "plant" vines.

"No, look over there?"

Pang Dahai and the others looked over in confusion, their eyes widening.

They saw that Tang Tiaotiao and her companion, whom they had left behind, were rapidly approaching the depths of the base under the protection of a golden treasure light.

The attacks of numerous mechanical monsters and mutated monsters were completely blocked by the golden treasure light.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck, and several mechanical monsters immediately went dark, dropping offline on the spot.

The mutated monster hit head-on exploded on the spot, its vines shattered everywhere, completely losing the chance to reassemble and revive.

"It's that kid, it's that kid's scroll!"

"Do you two know that guy?" Pang Dahai asked, surprised, looking at the two of them.

But he saw them avoiding his gaze, stammering, "We met him in the Mysterious Abyss before, he's quite powerful."

"What kind of scroll is so powerful?" Everyone was curious.

"And that golden energy shield, could it be some Advanced skill scroll?"

...Under the protection of the Qi light curtain, Wu Xian was full of curiosity about the situation inside the base.

But Tang Tiaotiao beside him was not calm. When Wu Xian said he would take her in, she thought he was joking.

Until the God of Wealth appeared and put up this seemingly "invincible" energy shield.

"Little Xianzi, you... you... have a second scroll?!"

It took Tang Tiaotiao a long time to recover, looking at Wu Xian, then at the majestic and awe-inspiring God of Wealth beside him, her eyes filled with shock.

"Just good luck ~ just good luck ~" Wu Xian replied with a simple smile.

"..."

Tang Tiaotiao secretly doubted her life. She originally thought Wu Xian just had some scroll talent, a Genius whose talent was buried due to his family background.

She never expected Wu Xian to be so outrageous.

In comparison, those so-called scroll Geniuses in the studio were simply pathetic.

"Little Xianzi, do you still want to join the studio?" Tang Tiaotiao couldn't hide her excitement, "I'll talk to the teachers for you. With your talent, the studio will definitely be willing to give you another chance to retake the exam."

"Whether I join or not."

Wu Xian smiled indifferently.

He initially wanted to go to the studio to understand the basic principles and processes of scroll making, but now he no longer needed to.

Moreover, attending the studio required tuition fees, and the annual fees were not low. There was no need to waste that money.

Also, what did she mean by "willing to give you another chance to retake the exam"?
