Starting With Contract Pets-Chapter 40 - Crafty Genius

Chapter 40 - Crafty Genius

"Xiao Bai, rush over and use Scary Ghost!"

Chen Rouxue did not hesitate in the face of these attacks.

"Hehehe!"

Her pet rushed forward while laughing wildly and used its skill to envelope the two starfishes.

"Triangle Starfish, Dive!",

One of the sisters immediately instructed. Even if the twins were in disdain they would not rashly disregard their opponents' attacks.

Triangle Starfish jumped, avoiding Little Devil's attack.

Having anticipated this, Su Bai said, "Buddy, Super Vine Whip!"

Everyone else was dumbfounded. ???

Be they Zhang San and Li Si, the twins, the viewers in the live broadcast rooms, the judges on the podium, or their watching schoolmates, all of them looked dazed at this moment. At such a good time, why was he using the most basic beginner skill?

In the next instant, the earth shook. Two green vine whips, as thick as bowls and with purple spikes, then came shooting out of the ground like two earth dragons, bringing smoke, dust, and sand along.

Boom!

With booming sounds, the Triangle Starfishes, which had just landed, were made to dent the ground by the vine whips.

"Use—"

Before the twins could give an order to their pets, the huge tentacles of vine entangled them.

Bang, bang, bang!

The earth shook and rumbled. The two Triangle Starfishes were thrown around like dolls. Blue blood oozed from them, and they were severely injured.

"Hand over the number tags!"

Su Bai watched the four of them faintly, while Purple Jade's vine whips firmly held the enemy pets suspended in the air.

This was his assassin method. Super Vine Whip was a terrifying skill after he infused it with countless light balls.

Zhang San and Li Si: (○ ́・д・)ノ

The twins: (○ ́・д・)ノ

This was the Vine Whip skill of a mid-level servant pet? Was this a joke?

"F*ck! That's Vine Whip, right?"

"Impressive and explosive! It's the first time I've seen something like that. It's too strong."

"I know, right? Although the ropes are thicker than tree trunks, it's that wood elementary skill for sure. Didn't you hear him add the word 'super'?"

"F*ck! I'm a fan of this kind of master tactician now. Impressive!"

"A truly crafty genius of beginner skills!"

"As expected, the master tactician prevails. An invincible God!"

"Hey, didn't you just say that Su Bai is bound to lose?"

"D*mn…"

In an instant, the major live broadcast rooms all exploded into excited discussions. That was the Vine Whip skill? It was called a beginner skill? Was it a joke?

On the rostrum, the big bosses were even more shocked. They thought that they had a lot of knowledge after seeing the world, but they had never seen a skill like that. At this moment, they were stunned and could not utter a word.

"Is that really the Vine Whip skill?" asked the director of the Green Fruit Plum Research Institute after a long time.

The curator of Xingyu Gymnasium sighed. "Of course. Just with the strength of that Vine Whip, even low-level warlords will find it difficult to break free."

They naturally saw the strength of the skill but could not imagine how it had been achieved.

Moreover, most people did not spend much effort on beginner skills.

"Hahaha! That kid is full of surprises." Gao An laughed wildly. Although he did not know Su Bai's method, he found him more and more pleasing to the eye. The boy was really a crafty genius.

The students in their classrooms were now in a state of confusion. In particular, Guo Dong's face was so ugly that he could not speak for a long time. That was outrageous.

Everyone surrounded Yang Zhou and asked him what had just happened, but even he also looked stunned.

In the field, Zhang San, Li Si, and the twins reluctantly handed over the number tags that they had harvested.

"You're really good. I hope that you'll be as strong the next time we meet you. I believe that we'll meet again in the court soon."

The twin sisters gritted their teeth. Although they had been beaten, they were still unconvinced.

Shrugging, Su Bai told Purple Jade to bring down the two starfishes.

"Brother and sister, don't tell me that you've been following me since this morning just because I mocked you?"

Zhang San put down the number tags and asked in confusion.

"Yes, we did. We originally wanted to find a random team, but who told you to be such a jerk!"

Chen Rouxue nodded.

Zhang San: "…"

They held grudges too well.

After searching their bodies and confirming that the number tags had all been taken away, Su Bai's team left.

The four teens, who were left behind, stood rooted to the spot with complicated moods. They had never thought that they would lose to someone with only a mid-level servant and so thoroughly at that.

"Great job!"

Chen Rouxue high-fived Su Bai. She then asked curiously, "How did you develop Purple Jade's Vine Whip skill? It's too abnormal, isn't it? You even kept it from me before the game. Don't you trust me?"

"Of course, I do. I was preparing to use it at the crucial moment." He explained.

In fact, he had not intended to expose it so early, but at the thought of the live broadcast, he realized that showing off their power on their first battle would solidify their status as master tacticians and make it difficult for others to scheme against them.

He did not care about earning himself a bad reputation, but he was afraid of Chen Rouxue being dragged down with him. After all, having forced her to come along, it was not good to hurt her.

In this way, they had won the match with dignity. The next time they played tricks on others, the audience would not react so badly and would just think of their schemes as tactics.

"As for how the skill was cultivated, it's a secret; I won't tell you for now."

Su Bai winked mysteriously and then asked, "Have you counted how many number tags we got?"

"No, but there are about four to five hundred. We've really raised Zhang San and Li Si well. This is great!"

Chen Rouxue cheered.

"Good. We have one-quarter of the tags. Let's first find a safe place to rest. I think it won't be so peaceful tonight. We'll see the situation first before considering if we should join in the fun. The evening is a good time to play tricks on others."

Su Bai caressed Purple Jade. "Buddy, lead the way. Find a place that's easy to defend and difficult for others to attack."

"Howl! o( ̄▽ ̄)d"

The cub was very happy. It had won against two pets, which were one level higher than it, with just one shot, so it was full of confidence at this moment.

"Hehehe!"

Little Devil also flew around happily. Winning always boosted a pet's confidence.

Half an hour later, they found a good spot. It was a rock shelf halfway around the middle of a rock cliff. The location was still relatively spacious, but it was difficult to climb to the spot.

Fortunately, Purple Jade climbed up first and brought them up with its Vine Whip.

"Ah, I can finally rest for a while. I'm exhausted."

Chen Rouxue sat down on the ground, rubbing her sore shoulders and legs.

Su Bai was in a slightly better condition.

"It's up to you now!"

He nudged the cub.

"Howl!"

The cub nodded confidently, then it activated its spiritual power. Soft, thin vines grew out, and under its control, they formed two 1.5-meter-wide mattresses.

After finishing the preparation, it once again used its spiritual power to drain the vitality of the vines. Two very good straw mats were thus made, and though a little ugly, they were comfortable to lie down on.

"Ah, I'm going to sleep!"

The girl lay down on one of them.
