God of Pets

Chapter 200 I don’t like playing single-player games

Chen Guan thought to himself, "If it weren't so potent and could preserve my innate talent, I would have found a way to refine it and eat it. It's a pity that your efficacy is too strong."

Tongniu continued chattering, "You humans' Yuanji is at most 1, but a Mystic God's Yuanji can exceed 1, possibly even 2. Some extremely terrifying Mystic Gods even have a Yuanji of 3. After this golden elixir reshapes your body, it's possible that your Yuanji will reach 2 or above. Do you know what this means? It means that with every level you gain, you gain more than twice the Yuanji limit of others..."

Chen Guan's expression remained unchanged as he thought to himself, "Other people have twice as much vitality, so what can they do with that little vitality?"

"How... do you still want to give up refining the golden elixir now?" Tongniu turned his head and looked at Chen Guan on his back and asked.

Xiu Jieming and Button Brother both held their breath, waiting for Chen Guan's answer.

Although they knew in their hearts that no one could refuse such a golden elixir, they already had the answer in their hearts.

"Of course, I won't change my decision. Take me back." Chen Guan said calmly.

"You...you really don't want to eat the golden elixir...why..." Tongniu's face was full of disbelief.

Xiu Jieming was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "How is it possible... Why would he give up such an opportunity... Is he afraid that Tong Niu will plot against him... Yes... It must be like this... He can't be sure whether everything Tong Niu said is true or false... Or maybe he has discovered a flaw... He sees that Tong Niu is deliberately luring him into a trap... That's why he gave up... It must be like this..."

Tongniu obviously thought of this as well, and continued, "You still don't believe me? Actually, there's no need to. We were ordered to guard this place, born to choose a master for the Golden Elixir. This is not my true body, so even if I eat the Golden Elixir, it will be useless. Only after the Golden Elixir is born can we return to our true body, so you don't have to worry about us having any thoughts about the Golden Elixir."

"I have always believed in you and never doubted you. With your strength, it would be easy for you to kill me and seize the Heavenly Fairy Peony. The fact that you didn't do that proves that you have no intention of taking the Golden Elixir." Chen Guan said lightly.

"It's good that you know it, so don't worry about anything else. As long as you are willing, I will help you eat it or even refine the golden elixir." said Tongniu.

"I appreciate your kindness, but please take me out." Chen Guan said.

"Why?" Tongniu was puzzled.

The same question was also circling in Xiu Jieming's mind. He didn't understand why Chen Guan would give up the golden elixir that was right in front of him. It was a benefit that many people dreamed of but could not get.

Someone like Chen Guan would actually refuse the golden elixir.

"Because I don't like playing single-player games." Chen Guan naturally couldn't say that he looked down on Jindan, so he found an excuse.

"What does this have to do with games?" Tongniu was full of question marks.

"Games are fun only with a lot of people. Otherwise, even if I play so well, but no one sees it and no one applauds me, how can I feel a sense of accomplishment? I ate the golden elixir and turned Beimang Mountain into a ghost domain with only evil monsters. Only I can come in to play. Even if I am good, without an audience, what's the point?" said Chen Guan.

"You could go out or visit another secret realm, and let others know how powerful you are," Tongniu retorted. "If I had the same opportunity elsewhere, would I still make the same choice? Then, in the end, I'd be the only one left in my world. In that world, what's the point of being powerful?"

Chen Guan smiled and said, "I prefer to have more powerful people in this world, and to have enough spectators. When I defeat those powerful people, I need enough admiration and applause, even praise and submission from my opponents' souls, to feel satisfied. Destroying the opponent is only the lowest form of self-satisfaction. What I want is the pleasure of conquest."

Xiu Jieming stared at Chen Guan's back in a daze, his fingers unconsciously clenched tightly, his eyes became a little dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your idea... is a bit weird... If you don't plunder resources... how can you make yourself stronger... how can you conquer your opponents..." said Tongniu.

"A person who wants to eat meat does not hunt powerful beasts and taste their delicious flesh and blood, but instead kills his own pets or even relatives and friends. This is something only the weak can do, and I, Chen Guan, disdain to do it." Chen Guan said it with great righteousness, but in his heart he was just thinking about tricking the bronze bull and leaving here as soon as possible.

"Only the weak... can do this..." Xiu Jieming's pupils contracted and the muscles in his body became a little stiff.

The golden elixir is a top-grade elixir for others, but it is a time bomb for Chen Guan. He doesn't want to take the risk of changing his innate talent by eating that thing.

Increasing his Yuan Ji was completely useless to him. He had a secret method that could allow him to exceed the upper limit of his Yuan Ji by surpassing any secret god, and even leaving them far behind.

"So that's how it is. Now I understand when you put it that way. You need the strong to be alive so that it's fun to defeat them. You need the weak to be alive so that you can enjoy their applause and cheers. You are a very arrogant person. You treat the whole world as your stage, everyone as the audience, and yourself as the protagonist." Tongniu said with a smile.

"Aren't people alive to be the protagonist? Do you want to live as a supporting role?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

"That makes sense." Tongniu laughed even harder. "You are indeed an interesting person. In that case, I will take you down the mountain. Don't regret it."

"Talk about it when you regret it." Chen Guan said casually.

The bronze bull was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly it stopped, its eyes widened, staring at the sea of ​​clouds.

Chen Guan didn't know what was going on, so he quickly followed the bronze bull's gaze and saw in the sea of ​​clouds a snow-white deer with crystal antlers on its head. It looked as pure as a sacred deer, walking slowly from the sky on the clouds.

"The Holy White Deer with Horns..." Chen Guan had been waiting for it to appear, but he didn't expect to see it in this way.

Walking on the clouds, what a powerful ability.

Only the strong ones in the cave heaven may have such flying ability, but they cannot walk on the clouds like the Holy Horned White Deer. The difficulty of this is not comparable to flying.

"You're right. Games are only fun when there are many people involved." The Holy Horned White Deer looked at Chen Guan and smiled, "But when playing games, you need to abide by the rules. It's time to complete the deal we agreed on. This is the Vermillion Fruit you requested. Give me the Heavenly Fairy Peony."
