Ranch Master Sequence! As Long as His Battle Pets Lived, He Would Remain Unharmed!
Awarding ceremony?
Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Director Xu's words.
Isn't this just a grand ceremony of showing off?
But... it's very good.
"I'm not busy lately, just let me know two days in advance."
Cao Fengqi smiled and spoke.
"No problem."
Director Xu smiled and nodded, "When it's completed, you should all go over there, stand on the stage, and hopefully say a few words."
"Say a few words? Cough cough, never mind, we don't have that ability."
Upon hearing this, Cao Jiancheng immediately laughed and shook his head, "I know my own limitations, haha."
"Oh, you can't say that. The greatest achievement is that you were able to give birth to such an amazing son."
"..."
"Lieutenant General Fengqi, the second matter concerns the research on the Level 9 artillery shell."
After exchanging a few words with Cao Jiancheng and the others, Director Xu turned to Cao Fengqi and continued, "Our Tianbei Base City has acquired some Level 8 metals from other safe havens these past few days. We've currently gathered 18 different types, and the stockpile of these Level 8 metals is sufficient to support the large-scale production of artillery shells."
"Once we get to the Fifth Land of Shelter, we should be able to find another seven or eight."
"I've brought the metal. Lieutenant General Fengqi, if you have nothing else to do, you can take a look at it first."
As he spoke, he gave him another level 6 storage space.
"18 kinds? Okay!"
Cao Fengqi and reminded him, "Prepare more level 7 metals as well. It doesn't necessarily have to be all level 8 metals. Having enough level 7 metals can increase the chances of successful research and development."
"Okay, no problem!"
Director Xu nodded.
The group ate and chatted for an hour before the two finally left.
"I finally got 1000 level 7 souls! Now I can upgrade my Beast Shepherd class to the Fourth Sequence!"
Cao Fengqi, holding the soul, returned to his room with a face full of excitement.
He sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion and opened the box that Director Xu had given him.
Looking at the mountain of soul cores in his hand, Cao Fengqi's eyes burned with a fierce light as he sat cross-legged on the cultivation futon.
Soon, a dense storm of soul energy erupted around him.
One by one, the soul cores were activated, transforming into a torrent of pure soul energy that continuously flowed into his sea of consciousness.
The Herding Fire Core, originally condensed to the size of a thumb, trembled violently under the nourishment of soul energy. The ancient and mysterious runes covering its surface multiplied rapidly, becoming several times more complex than before, and radiating a mysterious light interwoven with fiery red.
As the last wisp of soul energy was injected, the entire Herding Fire Core suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light. All the Herding Fire no longer shrank, but instead flowed with the cryptic text, spreading out in the sea of consciousness.
The complex and cryptic text gradually coalesced into a magnificent and boundless phantom of a gray pasture.
Above the pasture, ethereal mist swirled, and the roars of beasts echoed. Countless phantom images of battle pets could be vaguely seen, lying prostrate and awaiting orders, mysterious and majestic.
"Boom!"
[The pastures are the boundaries, and all beasts are the subjects!]
[Nuclear-forged celestial realm, the spirits of the ruins return to their hearts!]
[Shepherding, Ranch Master!]
The ancient and powerful characters resounded throughout Cao Fengqi's mind, and his extraordinary spiritual power underwent a complete transformation.
The previously encircling gray ropes have all transformed into black and gold interwoven spirit chains, engraved with beast patterns, exuding an aura of power that suppresses all things.
Countless chains extended out, one end wrapping around the entire body, the other end piercing through dimensional space, tightly connecting with the depths of the soul of each battle pet, the power of the bond several times stronger than before.
Cao Fengqi felt the surge in his physical and mental strength, and the power of the magnificent pasture in his sea of consciousness. His eyes shone brightly, and the pressure around him was as heavy as a mountain!
"Fourth Sequence Beast Shepherd: Ranch Master!"
"The number of pet contract slots has increased by 36, just as I expected. The total number of pet contracts I can now create is 90!"
"90 battle pets, haha, Ranch Master Sequence? That's an interesting name, does it mean Ranch Master?"
Cao Fengqi's body was bound by chains made of Transcendent Herding Fire, and at this moment, countless words and knowledge flashed through his eyes.
His gaze fell on the chains, feeling the connection between himself and his battle pets, and he couldn't help but grin.
Because, after embarking on the Fourth Sequence of Beast Shepherd, he gained what he considered to be an incredibly powerful ability.
[Defense Transfer].
"When I broke through the Grazier Sequence, I gained two skills: [Spirit Communication] and [Return to the Herd]."
"Although I only obtained one breakthrough to become the Ranch Master this time, this [Defense Transfer] is incredibly powerful."
[Defense Transfer: The chains of the Transcendent Herding Fire connect all battle pets, transferring damage received by the user to their own battle pets. The amount of damage transferred depends on the skill's proficiency!]
"This skill is incredibly powerful."
Beast Shepherd primarily rely on their battle pets in combat, but with this skill, their survivability is now maximized!
[The Skill Proficiency Cheat has detected that the host has mastered the extraordinary skills of Herder. Instantly max out the skill level?]
Just then, the cheat notification came, and he grinned.
[Yes!]
With a thought, he looked at his attributes the next second.
[Cao Fengqi.]

"Without the aid of equipment, my constitution reached 2865 and my mental strength reached 2327. Haha, that's a huge increase! Both my mental strength and constitution increased by more than 1,500."
Cao Fengqi quickly scanned the physical constitution and mental strength, a satisfied look appearing on his face.
With a thought, he opened the detailed information for the Beast Shepherd class again!

Cao Fengqi's gaze fell on the skill he had just acquired.
[Defense Transfer: The chains of the Transcendent Herding Fire connect all battle pets, transferring all damage received by the user to their own battle pets. As long as the battle pets survive, the user remains unharmed!]
"???"
"If the battle pet doesn't die, the player remains unharmed?"
