2: [Rampage Lion]

While performing the self-discipline challenge of taking small steps, Chen Mo silently recited “Panel” in his mind, and the illusory, grayish-black panel reappeared.

At this moment, the self-discipline challenges [Clean Lion] and [Rampage Lion] were both entangled in black chains, appearing in a locked state, while beneath the [Berserk Lion] self-discipline challenge, a progress bar appeared—

(12304/20000) (0/7)

He had already walked over 12,000 steps to find the Lion Pride, and now he only needed to walk less than 8,000 more steps to complete today's self-discipline challenge!

As he walked aimlessly, Chen Mo couldn't help but recall his foolish behavior in his student days, when he used a hand-cranked device to frantically rack up steps.

Unfortunately, he couldn't go back.

After an unknown amount of time, seeing the number on the illusory screen finally reach 20,000, Chen Mo, whose physical strength and spirit had reached their limits, could no longer hold on and completely fell into a deep sleep.

————————————

In the early morning, Chen Mo slowly woke up.

The other three Lionesses had gone hunting, and the Lion King had also set off to patrol his territory. Only Lion Mom and a few other Lion Cubs remained here.

The Lion Cubs were still sleeping. Chen Mo glanced at the challenge and found that the step count had changed to (0/20000).

It was a new day!

Perhaps it was due to drinking breast milk, Chen Mo felt much better today, and his small steps also became much lighter.

Soon, the Lion Cubs woke up one after another and began to play around the Lioness.

This kind of “playing around” was actually also a way to train their hunting skills.

They naturally saw Chen Mo not far away.

Looking at the Little Cripple, who clearly had a lame leg but was still taking small steps, the Lion Cubs thought he was not only crippled but probably also crazy.

“Awoo~” (Mom said not to play with idiots~)

The Little Lions once again chose to ignore Chen Mo.

But this kind of ignorance was already the best outcome for Chen Mo!

As long as he could stay with the Lion Pride, he wouldn't have to worry about attacks from other creatures!

Once he completed his first self-discipline challenge after 7 days, he might see a turning point!

Thinking this, he continued his self-disciplined day with “small steps.”

Noon.

The scorching sun baked every inch of the savanna, and Chen Mo could smell the burning even in the shade of a tree.

The three hunting Lionesses and the Lion King returned.

Today, their harvest was good; they had hunted a warthog and a warthog cub.

They and the Lion King began to enjoy the warthog, while the warthog cub was thrown to the Little Lions.

At two months old, the Lion Cubs could already eat meat; this was their first meat meal.

“Awoo!”

“Awoo~”

Seeing the warthog cub that had already died, the Little Lions pounced on it one after another, quickly dividing the food.

Chen Mo glanced at his siblings and didn't join them.

He was waiting for his mother to finish her feast.

“Lion Mom should be in a good mood after eating her fill, so maybe I can have a good meal today.”

Just as Chen Mo continued to rack up steps with “small steps,” a bloody piece of meat suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was thrown by a very beautiful Little Lion with golden fur.

It was Chen Mo's Lion Sister, born of the same parents.

After she had taken the largest share of the warthog meat, she threw a small piece of it in front of Chen Mo.

Looking at the bloody raw meat at his feet, Chen Mo was psychologically resistant, but his instincts and body's primal craving for raw meat still made him overcome his inner reservations.

And then, it was truly delicious!

A lion's senses were completely different from a human's; the bloody raw meat actually made Chen Mo feel satisfied.

“Awoo!”

Soon, the other Little Lions finished their portions of warthog meat, and then their gazes unanimously turned to Chen Mo.

“Awoo!”

One of the Little Lions, whom Chen Mo called Curly, quickly took action.

Chen Mo took a step back, ready to give up the food, although he really wanted to give Curly a big slap right now.

But his strength didn't allow it.

Then, the next second, Chen Mo saw the Lion Sister, who had finished eating and was about to sleep nearby, suddenly stand up and run to stand in front of him.

“Awoo!”

The Lion Sister stood quietly in front of the Little Cripple, staring fiercely at Curly, full of Aura.

It seemed to be saying—he's with me.

Curly was scared back.

Among all the Lion Cubs, the Lion Sister was the strongest and the one with the most combat power.

“Awoo~” (Thank you~)

Chen Mo didn't know how lions expressed emotions, but he still let out a low growl to show his gratitude.

The Lion Sister didn't respond, she just quietly waited for Chen Mo to finish his meat, then returned to Lion Mom's side, stretched, lay down, and fell asleep.

——————————————

Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, Chen Mo closely followed the Lion Pride, while also consistently practicing small-step self-discipline every day.

He gave each member of the Lion Pride a name to distinguish them.

The only Male Lion in the Lion Pride was called “freeloader father” by him, because it never hunted itself, only knowing how to eat the “soft rice” of the four Lionesses all day long.

His birth mother was simply called “Lion Mom” by him. Although “Lion Mom” was still a bit biased, always giving him the least amount of food or breast milk.

But in the end, she didn't let him starve to death.

Chen Mo named the Lion Sister “Aisha.”

As for the other Lion Cubs, Chen Mo named them very casually: “Ugly Orange,” “Bald Fur,” “Bald Tail,” “Dog Egg”...

On the last day of the [Berserk Lion] self-discipline challenge, Chen Mo began his small-step self-discipline in the early morning.

Until the sun rose, Chen Mo, who had been self-disciplining for over 6 hours, looked at the Self-Discipline Panel with eager anticipation.

19998...19999...20000

The moment the [Berserk Lion] self-discipline challenge progress bar reached 100%, a line of blue glowing text popped up on the Self-Discipline Panel—

[You have completed the self-discipline challenge [Berserk Lion] (White). Equip it?]

After choosing [Yes] with his mind, Chen Mo suddenly felt a strange energy like an electric current surging through his limbs, bringing a tingling sensation.

But this feeling was fleeting, disappearing without a trace along with the energy in less than two seconds.

The next second, Chen Mo involuntarily started to run.

At this moment, he felt his limbs full of strength.

After a rough test, Chen Mo found that his running speed was more than twice as fast as before!

Now, let alone other Lion Cubs, even the Lionesses might not be as fast as him!

In addition, he felt his stamina had also improved.

He sprinted across the savanna for 10 minutes without feeling tired at all.

The effect of [Berserk Lion] far exceeded his psychological expectations!

“The feeling of self-discipline is truly wonderful!”

Chen Mo's heart was filled with excitement and ambition.

The miraculous effect of the Golden Finger made him realize that he would inevitably become the king of this savanna in the future.

Even, the only king!

After the [Berserk Lion] self-discipline challenge was completed, the chains on the other two self-discipline challenges disappeared, and a new self-discipline challenge appeared at the same time—

[Gluttonous Lion (White): Consume more than 10kg of meat daily for 7 days]

“Judging by the effect of Berserk Lion, this term Gluttonous Lion should also be good. Unfortunately, unless I can hunt myself, consuming 10kg of meat every day is simply a pipe dream!”

It was the rainy season now, and food was relatively abundant; the Lionesses had some harvest every day.

But the meat allocated to the Lion Cubs was ultimately very little.

“I'll still choose Rampage Lion!”

Chen Mo quickly made a decision in his heart.

Although [Clean Lion] was easier to complete, its effect might not be helpful to him right now.

And [Rampage Lion] sounded like a title that could increase his speed, complementing [Berserk Lion].

Moreover, having just acquired [Berserk Lion], his stamina had improved, so running for 2 hours a day shouldn't be too difficult, right?
