Spirit Fruit

While enjoying the delicious food, Qin Ming was worrying about the upcoming training plan.

After half a day on the battlefield, Qin Ming had figured it out: Keda's strength was a hundred million points above that of a spirit beast of the same level.

Aside from the first few matches, the subsequent stomp matches didn't have much significance for Keda.

If it's a spirit beast of level 10 or higher, it might put considerable pressure on you. However, the battlefield does not offer random battles across different levels.

Just like Qin Ming's eventual sense of boredom. High-level spirit masters clearly didn't want to waste time with a bunch of weaklings.

If there are spirit masters who love to bully the weak and have mental disorders, it is even less likely that they will be allowed on the battlefield.

Qin Ming could understand the rules of the battlefield, but he didn't really want to accept them.

Therefore, if the battlefield truly does not accept Qin Ming's suggestions for improvement, Qin Ming will not be going there again in the near future.

……

Besides the battlefield, there is another place in the city where many Spirit Masters go: the Spirit Master Association.

Generally, the information on Spirit Master certification, level assessment, and task assignments are all located there.

The Spirit Master Association usually issues tasks for Spirit Masters to exchange for resources or points.

There are official releases and private releases, with a wide variety of types and varying levels of difficulty, so there's bound to be one that suits you.

Qin Ming was initially very interested in the idea that it would be profitable and also fulfill his initial goal of training.

However, according to the Law on the Protection of Minor Spirit Beasts, spirit beasts below level 10 are not allowed to accept missions.

This rule might be partly out of care, and partly out of a fear of causing more trouble while being busy.

Unfortunately, Keda is only at level 6, which is quite a distance from level 10.

"Let's go to the dojo then," Qin Ming decided after having eaten and drunk his fill.

"Quack~" (The ducks are going too!)

"I'll definitely take you with me!" Qin Ming wiped Keda's mouth clean after he had finished eating, and took off his bib, which he then placed aside to dry.

Such beautiful sunshine, we can't miss it.

I wonder how Little Fatty is doing. As a turtle, he loves sunbathing!

Qin Ming, who hadn't used his time-travel talent for several days, really wanted to go back and visit, but his meditation progress was slow.

Whether it was working tirelessly through the night or taking a leisurely, carefree life, Qin Ming couldn't find a breakthrough.

Although he could sense some progress, it was clear that he still needed some time to reach the second level of mental power. What he wanted was a breakthrough, an epiphany, not a gradual process.

Right now, what Qin Ming lacks most is time; he can't wait to see the transformed Little Fatty.

If hard work doesn't work, maybe we can rely on external help?

Qin Ming decided to go to the dojo to ask if they had any resources in this area.

So Qin Ming took some iced cola and went straight to the dojo to enjoy a refreshing summer day.

And you know what? Being close by is really convenient.

"Assistant Zheng, do you know any quick ways to improve mental strength? My recent meditation progress hasn't been very good."

Perhaps due to their similar ages and the chats they've had on their phones over the past few days, Qin Ming and Zheng Wenjie have already established a preliminary friendship.

"If you want to level up quickly, Spirit Fruit is a good thing, but I think we're out of stock in the store. Wait a minute, let me check where we can find some." Zheng Wenjie stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

Qin Ming knew about the Spirit Fruit; it was a precious resource that could enhance the spiritual power of a Spirit Master.

Although they are not very useful for high-level spirit masters, they are not easy to buy on the market because they are mostly produced in the wild and are difficult to cultivate artificially.

At least, Qin Ming spent two days online and didn't see any stock that he could buy immediately.

Therefore, Qin Ming waited quietly for Zheng Wenjie's query results.

"There are two options. One is to wait about half a month and have it transported from the neighboring province. The price isn't too high; it's roughly equivalent to five intermediate-level array crystals."

Assistant Zheng is good. At least Qin Ming doesn't have any cross-province channels or connections, so when Qin Ming was looking for resources, the first step was to limit it to specific provinces and cities.

Compared to Earth, the Lingwu Continent is a dangerous wilderness where it's really difficult to cross provinces without some strength to protect yourself.

So there's no food delivery or courier service at all.

Half a month may sound slow, but if it weren't for Zheng Wenjie, Qin Ming wouldn't even dare to dream of transferring resources across provinces.

Seeing that Qin Ming had almost figured out the pros and cons of the first option, Zheng Wenjie continued.

"Another one is the recently held Baby Cup entertainment competition, which includes Spirit Fruit in its prize redemption list. It hasn't been redeemed yet, so you'd better hurry if you want it."

As Zheng Wenjie spoke, he forwarded the relevant information he had found to Qin Ming.

"If you're in a hurry, I suggest you participate in the latter. The Baby Cup is a competition that limits spirit beasts to level 10 and below, and it's a benefit for new spirit masters. With your ability, you'll definitely be able to sweep it."

Zheng Wenjie couldn't help but feel envious when he thought about Keda's outrageous data.

Fortunately, he was unaware of Keda's breakthrough today; otherwise, his mentality would probably have become unbalanced again.

"Then I'll take both."

Although Qin Ming was confident in Keda's abilities, he felt it was always wise to play it safe.

What if, I mean what if, one Spirit Fruit isn't enough for Qin Ming to break through?

Besides, it's just the price of five intermediate-level array crystals, which Qin Ming can easily afford right now.

Speaking of array crystal formations, "Does any senior brother want to exchange them today?"

"Me, me, me!" Zheng Wenjie said, his voice trembling with excitement.

Being near the water tower gives you an advantage!

Zheng Wenjie thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction that his efforts in helping out earlier had not been in vain.

"Alright, then release your spirit beast so I can broaden my horizons?"

To be fair, the two had a pretty good relationship, yet Qin Ming still didn't know Zheng Wenjie's initial spirit.

Under Qin Ming's expectant gaze, a huge array of diagrams appeared in front of Zheng Wenjie, shimmering like a star map.

A mythical beast resembling a rooster with three brightly colored feathers on its head gradually took shape.

His body was covered in feathers that changed from bright yellow to light orange, and his claws were incredibly sharp.

The powerful muscles in his thighs were already visible, and even if he stood still, Qin Ming had no doubt that he possessed the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Having crammed on common sense for several weeks, Qin Ming was not so bad as not to recognize it.

This is the spirit beast; if Qin Ming remembers correctly, its attributes are…

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ming still wasn't quite sure, so he took out his phone and scanned the code.

[Sequence PKM-037]

Race name: Fire Chicken

Racial Rank: High Commander

Attribute: Fire

Rating: 39

Normal energy level: 1610 (average 1521)

It is indeed the evolved form of Firebird, Firebird. It seems that Zheng Wenjie has bred it quite well.

If I remember correctly, this should be a water-type gym, and you, a fire-type, are here?

Is this something a human would do? Qin Ming couldn't understand it at all.

heresy!

No wonder I never see you release your spirit beasts, you're asking for a beating!

Or does Zheng Wenjie have some special hobby? I haven't noticed it before...
