Chapter 21: The Beginning of the Winning Streak

Xin Ye Miao could vaguely sense that her body seemed to have undergone considerable changes in the past two days since being subdued by Xia Chi.

But once it came into actual combat, it became clear that this was not just a change, it was a mutation!

Since Xin Ye Miao couldn't see the specific system information, she naturally didn't know that this was even before several major bonds had been activated.

This state was achieved solely through the [Chosen Badge], [Triple Strike], and [Bloodthirster].

The Chosen Emblem and Trinity Force provide New Leaf Cat with over 50% bonus to all attributes, while Bloodthirster provides crucial sustain.

With just these three bonuses, not to mention causing a qualitative change in New Leaf Cat's combat power, dealing with these monkey monsters in the beginner village would be a piece of cake.

Even without knowing the truth, Xin Ye Miao understood that this must be related to Xia Chi.

It gave me meticulous care and warmth, restored my self-esteem as a battle spirit, and greatly enhanced my strength.
At this moment, Xia Chi's image and status in Xin Ye Miao's heart had risen to an unparalleled height.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Although I've never heard of this idiom before, Xin Ye Miao understands the principle behind it.

At that moment, its eyes gleamed with light, and it made a vow in its heart.

I must accompany Xia Chi to the peak that no one can reach!
------

Here, Xia Chi, who had been passively transformed into Xiao Zhi, deduced the most likely scenario and was no longer in a hurry to go back and check the situation.

The main problem is that there's no way to contact them, and even if I go back now, I won't be able to find Xin Ye Miao.

There shouldn't be too much to worry about regarding safety. This guy has been hanging out in the wild around the school for more than half a year. Even if he was isolated, he still managed to get by.
Not to mention now, after the bonus from the Tongzi Brother's synergy equipment.

Let the child play if they want to.
Since the Fear value for the Dark-type bond needs to be accumulated by defeating Pokémon, it's better to relax and focus on attending classes while letting Newleafy accumulate Fear value in the wild.

Furthermore, modern Pokémon breeding science shows that a group of similar Pokémon with comparable strength can be bred in the same way.

Without pushing their stamina to the limit, the Pokémon that battle more frequently will grow in strength on average a little faster.

Therefore, although reality is not like a game where you can significantly increase experience points through battles to level up, it still has a similar weakening effect.

In other words, Xin Ye Miao is indeed "leveling up" right now.

Xia Chi thought to himself.

However, on the other hand, defeating a spirit, especially one that is "above level," only yields a fraction of a point of fear value.

Wouldn't it take several months to accumulate to a hundred floors?

Moreover, one hundred floors is just the starting point of the fear level.

According to the game mechanics of the Golden Shovel, you need to accumulate hundreds of layers of fear to get good items from these treasure chests.

In the short term—not to mention more, it's impossible to graduate in at least two or three years.

Regardless, Xia Chi's "winning streak harvest" plan has finally taken its crucial first step.

Thus, the entire world's Pokémon mythology history class began.

He spent his time listening to Tongzi Ge's voice broadcast, "New Leaf Cat defeated Monkey Monster."

It has a similar joy to an idle farming game.

Of course, Xia Chi will not forget that this happiness was built on Xin Ye Miao's hard work and sweat.

From this perspective, catching Pokémon that others don't want isn't such a bad thing.

These types of Pokémon are more sensible than untrained Pokémon and can even train themselves.

Xin Ye Miao's final battle record for the morning was five monkey monsters, accumulating a fear value of 1.1. In the battlefield, that's a terrifying record of one person defeating five. Even with the help of Tong Zi Ge, it's still extremely difficult to achieve such a record when a low-level player is fighting against a high-level player.

So whoever said this new Leaf Cat is no good, this new Leaf Cat is amazing!
As for whether Xin Ye Miao returned home safely in the end, Xia Chi wasn't too worried.

Firstly, he felt that since the system broadcast news of victories, news of defeats should also be announced.

Secondly, he knew that Xinye Miao was a very well-behaved little cat.

We've known each other for a few months now, and no matter how disheveled I am, I always manage to see it dragging its relatively healthy body to my dorm to eat around 9 pm.

This guy's current fighting ability is probably only AB level, but his escape ability is definitely S+.

Sure enough, when Xia Chi finished her morning classes and returned to her dormitory with her nutritious lunch and medicine, Xin Ye Miao was already waiting for her in the dormitory as if nothing had happened.

Although it pretended to be calm and its fur was neatly groomed before Xia Chi returned, its unsteady gait and several obvious new wounds betrayed it.

"You chose to go out for combat training on your own without telling me, just to avoid worrying me? Hagi, you rascal!"

Xia Chi rubbed the head of the new leaf cat that had come to greet him home, then took out the healing medicine he had bought on the way back.

While applying the medicine, he frowned and said, "I told you, I'll support whatever you want to do, so don't hide things from me in the future, and don't make me worry."

"Meow Coffee."

Xin Ye Miao ignored Xia Chi calling her by a nickname she didn't like again, and lowered her head obediently, half feeling guilty and half touched, to accept his scolding.

But then, as if remembering something, a look of surprise appeared on its face, and it looked up at Xia Chi suspiciously, "Meow Coffee?"

When they came back, they also brought medicine.

So Xia Chi, how did you know in advance that I was going out to fight this morning?

Xia Chi, who understood Xin Ye Miao's gaze, looked around nervously, revealing an awkward half-smile.

When you know someone is lying but can't call them out, because the way you found out the truth is also a secret.jpg
------

The courses in the first year are relatively less intensive, and Xia Chi has no classes this afternoon.

He had originally planned to use this free time to edit videos, but instead took Xinye Miao to Silver Department Store and bought a portable elf locator.

This sophisticated instrument, hidden inside the collar-style cat tag, can display the exact location of Xinye Miao on Xia Chi's mobile phone app.

Furthermore, it can monitor various bodily parameters and specific conditions.

If necessary, you can also use your phone to have the new Leafy Cat wearing this item talk to you.

It's practically an essential high-tech item for Pokémon like New Leaf Cat that love to run around in the wild.

Although the price was just as attractive as its functionality, Xia Chi still bought it without hesitation.

With this on Xinye Miao, Xia Chi will feel more at ease when it goes out to "train" itself.

Then Xia Chi and Xin Ye Miao reached a three-point agreement regarding the latter's independent training—

When you're out and about, don't provoke Pokémon that are significantly stronger than you.

You must exit combat before your physical strength or condition is depleted.

Every half hour, it would meow three times at the locator to let Xia Chi know it was safe.

And you must be home on time before dark.

As for why the three articles of the agreement have four clauses...
As we all know, there are five Heavenly Kings, so it's reasonable for the Three Rules to have four articles, right?
