A month passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Ye had checked in every day in the outer region of Star Dou Forest, but most of the locations had only been level-three or level-two treasure grounds. He hadn't gotten anything worthwhile, though his cultivation had reached 7,600 years. By now, he was basically invincible in the outer region.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, can you give me a good check-in location?"
[Little Ye, you're in the outer region right now. Unless you give the system specific instructions, it'll only provide nearby locations. If you go to the mixed region, it'll provide locations there.]
After hearing Xiao Ai's explanation, Ye Ye understood. To get good rewards, he had to go check in somewhere in the mixed region.
Ye Ye: "All right, Xiao Ai. Give me a check-in location in the mixed region. I'm heading there."
[Ding! Map released.]
Ye Ye was still speechless when he heard the sound.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. "Unscrupulous Navigation at your service. Please proceed at a 75-degree angle."
Ye Ye had guessed right. Unscrupulous Navigation had been leading the way for all his check-ins this past month. He'd asked Xiao Ai to remove "Baidu Navigation," but she'd said that if he wanted a map, he had to use "Baidu Navigation."
"Hey, hey, hey! Why aren't you moving yet? Damn it, you're still so slow after all this time. You're slower than a turtle. What, are you still trying to get rid of me? You ungrateful wretch! Would you have managed to check in all these days without me? Hurry up!"
Ye Ye: "All right, all right, I'm going. Just shut up."
Over the past month, Ye Ye and Xiao Ai had grown close, but his relationship with "Baidu Navigation" was still terrible. Almost every time they met, they cursed each other out. Baidu Navigation's voice was unpleasant, too—it sounded like a middle-aged man, nothing like Xiao Ai's adorable voice.
Ye Ye headed toward the location Baidu Navigation had given him. He'd changed a lot over the past month. He'd grown much bigger, his stamina had improved, and even his mindset had changed. Now, he was more like a beast.
Ye Ye ran at full speed. The farther in he went, the more Soul Beasts he encountered—and the stronger they were. He sprinted up a slope, then turned and landed perfectly. It was a world of difference from a month ago.
"Baidu Navigation reminder: you have entered the mixed region."
Though Baidu Navigation often argued with Ye Ye, it was still very conscientious.
Ye Ye continued running. Suddenly, a massive Soul Beast appeared in front of him. He hurried to a stop, and he and the beast stared each other down.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, scan it."
[Scanning! Scan complete!
1. Tortoise Shell Rhino.
2. 9,999-year Soul Beast.
3. Its body is covered in incredibly hard, impenetrable armor.
4. Weakness: once it falls over, it has trouble getting back up. The armor on its belly can be pried off.]
After learning about the Soul Beast, Ye Ye felt more confident. Although it had cultivated longer than he had, it hadn't broken through to 10,000 years. As long as it hadn't reached 10,000 years, Godzilla was invincible. Ye Ye was very confident, especially since he knew its weakness.
Ye Ye (Godzilla) grinned, slowly raised his arm, and stuck up his middle finger. The Tortoise Shell Rhino didn't understand what it meant, but it saw the contempt in Ye Ye's eyes and grew furious. It snorted, then charged at him.
That was exactly what Ye Ye wanted: to provoke it. Just as it was about to hit him, Ye Ye slid aside with a perfect slide tackle. The Tortoise Shell Rhino missed him and smashed straight into a tree, breaking it in two. Ye Ye was startled. That impact is powerful. If it hit me, it'd break my bones too.
The Tortoise Shell Rhino was dazed by the impact, but seeing that Ye Ye was unharmed only made it angrier. It charged at him again. Ye Ye turned around, then took the opportunity to ram it with all his strength. The Tortoise Shell Rhino lost its balance and reared up. Ye Ye seized the chance to use Tail Whip. His thick tail cracked across the beast like a whip, and the Tortoise Shell Rhino fell to the ground.
Seeing it down, Ye Ye hurried over and planted a foot on its body, then roared to ask if it would submit (;｀O)o. The Tortoise Shell Rhino roared back to show that it wouldn't! (Think Godzilla vs. Kong.) But Ye Ye didn't realize that a Soul Beast somewhere nearby had already noticed him.
Ye Ye had actually planned to let it go, but when he saw that it still wouldn't submit, he decided to kill it. He looked at its belly and used his sharp claws to tear off several scales. The Tortoise Shell Rhino screamed in pain. (Fuck your mother, I ****.)
Ye Ye thrust his claws into its body, grabbed hold, and crushed its heart, putting it out of its misery.
Ye Ye pulled his claws out and looked at the blood on them. He licked his lips. He'd run a long way and fought a battle, and now he was hungry. He plunged his head into the Tortoise Shell Rhino's body and began to feast. Ye Ye felt that he was becoming more and more like a beast—and increasingly bloodthirsty.
After eating his fill, Ye Ye continued on his way.
"Unscrupulous Navigation reminder: you have reached the vicinity of your destination. This navigation session is over."
Ye Ye: "I finally made it to the destination. I'm exhausted." He kept walking.
[Ding! Check-in location is 99 meters away.]
Ye Ye: "Looks like I'm going the right way." He continued forward at a brisk pace.
[Ding! You have reached the check-in location. Check in now?]
Ye Ye silently replied in his mind, "Yes."
[Ding! Check-in successful. Level-one treasure ground rewards:
1. Cultivation increased to 10,000 years.
2. Random Teleportation Card ×2
3. 100 points]
"This time, it's actually a level-one treasure ground," Ye Ye thought.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, why is this a level-one treasure ground?"
[Ding! This is where Bibi Dong hunted Xiao Wu's mother. The blood of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast gathered here, and this location had a huge impact on the original story, so it was rated as a level-one treasure ground.]
Ye Ye: "So that's why. Looks like anything connected to the original story's protagonist is different—the rewards are better too."
Ye Ye hadn't expected such generous rewards. He'd broken through to 10,000 years in one go. He'd also gotten two Random Teleportation Cards. He understood how they worked: using one would teleport him somewhere at random. But what were the points for? As the old saying went, if you had a question, ask. So Ye Ye asked his dear Xiao Ai.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, what are these points for?"
[Ding! Little Ye, these points can unlock the Gacha Pool, where you can draw all kinds of things.]
Ye Ye understood. The points could be used to open the Gacha Pool.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, open the Gacha Pool."
[Ding! Opening the Gacha Pool requires 100 points. Open it now?]
Well, there went his only 100 points. But Ye Ye had no choice; he could only open it.
Ye Ye: "Yes."
[Ding! Opened.]
A panel appeared in front of Ye Ye, displaying a large wheel with gold, purple, and white rewards. Underneath it said: One draw costs 100 points; ten draws cost 1,100 points.
Ye Ye stared at the ten-draw option in silence.
Ye Ye: "System, why does one draw cost 100 points, but ten draws cost 1,100? Why not just do ten single draws for 100 points each?"
[Ding! Ten draws have a higher chance of getting good items, and guarantee at least one gold reward.]
Ye Ye: "Oh~ sou desu ne."
Ye Ye: "System, open the system panel."
[Ding! System panel opened.
