The Fighting Cock Among Weaklings

Forget it, it turns out to be an NPC with no emotions.

Jiang Hao left resentfully with the little hen.

For the next half an hour, he led the little hen in a huge circle but couldn't find any of the legendary monsters, finally returning to the sexy young lady to spot the city gates not far away, outside of which lay a patch of lush green grass and large trees.

"Damn it, isn't this messing with people? Whoever designed this map made it so complicated, making me run my ass off all over the city."

There were still two fully geared guards at the city gate. He looked at the weapons and equipment in their hands, then looked at his own boxers and broken blade.

The more he looked, the more aggrieved he felt.

Not long after walking out of the city gate, Jiang Hao saw an Antler Beast, just like him, holding a broken blade as it walked and stopped.

After drawing closer, the monster's information popped up right above its forehead.

Antler Beast

HP: 180

Level: Level 1

Seeing that the opponent was only level 1, Jiang Hao loudly praised the planners for being reliable and knowing how to look after newbies.

So he rushed excitedly up to the Antler Beast with the little hen.

He picked up his broken blade and stabbed straight at the opponent.

The little hen at his feet also excitedly pecked at the monster's foot, and in an instant, Jiang Hao saw two large -10 damage values pop up above the Antler Beast's head.

How come it's only this much?

Could the Survival Simulator have modified the monsters?

Before Jiang Hao could strike a second blow, the Antler Beast slashed directly across Jiang Hao's face.

"Ah, ah, ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" This injury experience was too realistic. It was indeed modified, and even the perception was so lifelike.

What made him even angrier was that hitting people shouldn't involve the face. Although he knew this was a survival simulation game, Jiang Hao still squatted down, protecting his face with one hand while picking up his broken blade and frantically hacking at the opponent's legs.

The Antler Beast remained completely unaffected, bringing its broken blade down in slash after slash against Jiang Hao's back.

He couldn't take it anymore!

Having taken a few slashes, Jiang Hao could no longer hold on and bolted a few meters away, instantly leaving the Antler Beast's attack range. Having lost its target, the Antler Beast mercilessly slashed at the little hen on the ground.

"Cluck~!"

Jiang Hao only had time to hear a miserable cry before the prompt of the Survival Simulator rang out: "Beast pet has died, game over."

Jiang Hao: ???

That was it?

Zero gaming experience, terrible review!

He checked the little hen's attributes. Everything else was unchanged except its stamina, which went from 1 point to 0 points-a massive loss.

Forget it, let's go again. In the early stage, he could only rely on himself to hard-carry.

Returning to the game once more, this time Jiang Hao was determined to act as a meat shield, so he directly brandished his broken blade and blocked the path of the Antler Beast's blade, going toe-to-toe with the opponent in a joyous exchange of blows.

After enduring 45 strikes from the opponent, the Antler Beast's HP was finally emptied, and with a "bang," it collapsed to the ground and didn't get back up.

Following right behind was a pillar of light erupting from the little hen's body.

"Ding, congratulations, your beast pet, the little hen, has greatly increased in combat power."

Beast Pet Master: Jiang Hao

Beast Pet: Unnamed (Little Hen)

Realm: None

Tacit Understanding: 60

Combat Power: 11

Attribute Points: 5

Skill Points: 5

Strength: 1

Stamina: 1

Defense: 1

Agility: 1

Critical Hit Rate: 0

Critical Strike: 0

Skills: None

After killing the Antler Beast, the little hen's attributes had improved significantly. Not only had its combat power increased by ten points, but it had also surprisingly gained five attribute points and skill points, along with an extra stat for tacit understanding.

Skill points were obviously things to raise skill levels. The little hen hadn't comprehended or learned any skills yet, so there was no need to worry about them for now.

As for attribute points, those were definitely good things.

The most magical part was that the little hen on the ground had grown a full circle larger. At this rate, was it going to turn into a dinosaur chicken?

How terrifying!

However, he loved it.

With this Survival Simulator, who said working pets couldn't turn into battle pets?

Now the question was, how should he allocate his stat points?

Because his little hen was neither a battle pet nor a support-type pet, nor an agility-type; its attack power wasn't working, its defense power wasn't working, its speed wasn't working, and nothing worked-it was a bona fide combat scum of the five elements.

If the beast pet was too good, he didn't have that kind of blessing, but if the beast pet was too trashy, it would drive him crazy.

Now that he had the opportunity to change the destiny of his beast pet, there were three plans available for him to choose from. First was the pure strength type, heavily investing in strength to push attack power up.

Second was the defense type, making a pure meat-shield chicken by investing in stamina and defense, wearing opponents down until they autisticly gave up because they couldn't break through.

Lastly was the agility type, with speed fast enough to fly and leave opponents eating dust.

However, after much deliberation, he came up with a fourth plan: prioritize strength, then add agility. This way, he could both increase attack power and run fast, allowing him to escape and save his life if he couldn't win later on.

The most crucial part was catching the enemy off guard. When others saw his beast pet was just a little hen, their first reaction would inevitably be to burst out laughing. By then, their guard would drop drastically, and he could deal a fatal blow-wasn't that just delightful!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt like he could do this again.

Soon, he allocated four of the five attribute points to strength and one to agility.

With five strength points, he believed that in the upcoming battles, the little hen's damage would increase dramatically.

Jiang Hao looked at the brand-new little hen, and feeling eager to try, he found a second Antler Beast, raised his broken blade, and launched a murderous attack.

"80, 80, 80"

Under the little hen's frantic pecking, four -50 damage values popped up on the Antler Beast's forehead.

The Antler Beast, which only had 180 HP, was knocked dry before it even had a chance to counterattack-it was simply deeply satisfying.

Yet this time, no light erupted from the little hen's body, which was well within expectations.

Next was one.

Two.

Three.

Until the fifth Antler Beast fell did a pillar of light finally erupt from the little hen's body.

Distributing the attribute points in a 4/1 ratio between strength and agility, simply killing Antler Beasts no longer satisfied Jiang Hao's ambition.

He began casting his gaze toward the rock monsters in another area.

Giant Jester

HP: 336

Level: Level 4

The Giant Jester was composed of individual rocks, held a broken axe, and was covered all over in moss. It was obvious that this was caused by bad hygiene. If you took a bath, your looks wouldn't be this wretched-if I don't beat you, who do I beat?

Jiang Hao rushed in front of the Giant Jester and delivered a slash. Instantly, sparks flew everywhere, and a large -1 on the opponent's forehead looked as though it were mocking him for not eating his meals.

How embarrassing.

Soon, the Giant Jester's attack landed, an axe strike hitting Jiang Hao squarely on the forehead and nearly killing him!

"Ouch~" Jiang Hao let out a piercing, miserable scream, clutched his head, and fled, yet worrying that the little hen would be killed, he didn't dare run out of the opponent's aggro range. Right now, he only hoped the little hen could peck this thousand-times-damned monster to death as quickly as possible.

As he ran, he discovered an interesting phenomenon: as long as his speed was faster than the opponent's and he didn't run out of the aggro range, the opponent couldn't hit him yet would still chase relentlessly after him, ignoring the little hen on the ground entirely.

With this discovery, Jiang Hao smiled. This planner daddy was simply too cute.

Having made this discovery, Jiang Hao felt he could do it again.

While kiting the monster, he howled at the top of his lungs that he could take on ten.

The little hen only pecked the opponent seven times before this monster that had nearly cost him his life finally collapsed, shattering into piles of rubble.

Killing this level 4 Giant Jester caused a pillar of light to erupt from the little hen's body once more.

It was still the familiar recipe.

After allocating the attribute points, Jiang Hao looked at the little hen's attribute values and smiled with satisfaction.

Beast Pet Master: Jiang Hao

Beast Pet: Little Hen (Unnamed)

Realm: None (Level 3)

Tacit Understanding: 60 (Hunger will cause it to decrease)

Combat Power: 31

Attribute Points: 0

Skill Points: 15

Strength: 13

Stamina: 1

Defense: 1

Agility: 4

Critical Hit Rate: 0

Critical Strike: 0

Skills: None

Looking at the two numerical values of 31 combat power and 13 strength, who would still dare to say his little hen was a weakling now? This was the fighting cock among weaklings!

Well, since the little hen finally had some prospects now, continuing to call it a little hen didn't seem quite appropriate, so Jiang Hao wanted to give it a more domineering name.

After pondering over it for a long time, he finally thought of giving it a name that could suppress the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Blazing Flame Dragon King belonging to Liao Yunxiao-at the very least, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum, right?

"Then let's call it the Ice Crystal Phoenix. Ice crystals against blazing flames-point-blank against the spear's edge."

Settled.
