Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 35 Ugh, what a scumbag!

School ship, in front of the deck.

The spoils brought by Jiang Chen, Nangong Yan, Zhao Hui, and Zhang Caiying were quickly counted, and the rankings on the leaderboard immediately changed.

1st place: Zhang Caiying, 46 points.

2th place: Zhao Hui, 46 points

3rd place: Geng Ben, 44 points

4th place: Hu Gang, 44 points

5th place: Shi Shan, 43 points

6th place: Yang Rui, 43 points

7th place...

……

9th place: Jiang Chen, 39.2 points

10nd place: Nangong Yan, 39.2 points

"Yes!"

"We've broken into the top ten again!"

Upon seeing the changes in the standings, Nangong Yan immediately jumped up and down on the deck, his face beaming with excitement!

The top ten on the leaderboard receive additional rewards, including valuable items like Sea Spirit Pearls and Essence Blood.

Therefore, it is extremely important to break into the top ten of the standings!

Jiang Chen smiled broadly. It was worth it; he'd deliberately weakened his kidneys twice last night. Making it into the top ten was all he needed…

Jiang Chen continued looking at the list, somewhat puzzled. Last night, Ke Zixuan and Zhang Mingwan were ranked 3rd and 4th respectively, but they were not on the list today.

Jiang Chen lowered his gaze and searched the rankings, finding the names of Ke Zixuan and Zhang Mingwan at number 27 and 28 respectively.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. Why did their rankings suddenly plummet so much?

Jiang Chen looked at their scores, which were 29.2 points.

江尘记得昨晚2人的积分是24.4分，今天是29.2分，也就是说2人今天只得到了4.8分！

Conversely, this means that the two of them essentially only managed to hunt one late-stage awakened sea beast!

This result was a complete surprise to Jiang Chen!

Jiang Chen found a teacher in charge of scoring and asked, and quickly got the result.

It turns out that Ke Zixuan and Zhang Mingwan were hunting with injuries yesterday, and because they were too reckless, their injuries worsened today, so they are resting and recuperating.

Jiang Chen: "..."

Nangong Yan said to Jiang Chen with schadenfreude, "Pah, what a scumbag!"

Jiang Chen was speechless: "How am I a scumbag?"

Nangong Yan: "If you hadn't so cruelly rejected them yesterday, would they have needed to be so desperate as to fight the sea monsters?"

"In short, no matter what, it's all your fault!"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes, but he had to admit that Nangong Yan had a point.

Who told him to have such an incredibly handsome face that could captivate women all over the world?

I'll take the blame!

……

They quickly returned to the cave beneath the seabed, and after a thorough inspection to confirm that there was nothing amiss, they decided to stay there for the night.

After a hearty meal, just as Nangong Yan was about to lie down on the seaweed bed and sleep with his tentacle shrimp, Jiang Chen kicked him up.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Yan cried out, clutching his buttocks.

"It's only seven or eight o'clock in the evening, let's discuss tomorrow's tactics," Jiang Chen said.

"Tactics? What tactics?" Nangong Yan was bewildered. "And big brother, we've been hunting all day, my back and waist are aching, let me rest for a bit!"

"Do you still want to improve your ranking?" Jiang Chen asked in return.

"Of course I want to!"

"That's right," Jiang Chen said, sitting cross-legged on the seaweed bed. "You've seen today's leaderboard. Although we're ranked ninth and tenth, the difference in points between us and them isn't much; it's very close!"

It was indeed a very close contest. Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan had a total of 39.2 points, while the first and second place winners, Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui, had 46 points. There was only a 6-point difference between them!

So if they work even harder and hunt more sea creatures, they can definitely improve their ranking!

However, Jiang Chen was certainly not the only one with this idea; other students shared the same thought!

Everyone is hunting desperately, frantically increasing their points in hopes of getting more rewards.

Jiang Chen opened his backpack, took out a large piece of hard red scales, and threw it to Nangong Yan. It was the scale armor from the Luohan fish.

Jiang Chen had the tentacle shrimp use one hand to hold up the Luohan fish armor as a shield, while using the other tentacle to attack with a long whip. With this combination of offense and defense, the tentacle shrimp's effectiveness was immediately enhanced!

In today's battle, Nangong Yan's tentacle shrimp had very limited impact on the Flowerhorn fish.

That's why Jiang Chen came up with this idea: to give the tentacle shrimp a shield so that it could play a greater role.

After saying that, Jiang Chen also made Xiao Jiu get up from the ground and start practicing the brute force skill, so that it could improve its proficiency as soon as possible.

Xiao Jiu let out a painful meow, its blue eyes, which seemed to hold the starry sky, looked at Jiang Chen with teary eyes, its expression full of pitifulness and innocence.

Human, please let me go!

I'm so tired today, I can't move at all! Please don't push me!

Jiang Chen silently looked at Xiao Jiu and took out a small yellow croaker from his backpack.

"Meow meow meow!!!"

Xiao Jiu, who was lying on the ground throwing a tantrum, suddenly lit up and sprang up. With lightning speed, she lunged at the little yellow fish in Jiang Chen's hand.

Little did Jiang Chen know that he had anticipated this, so the moment he took out the small yellow croaker, he immediately pulled it back without thinking!

Xiao Jiu leaped over and missed his target!

When the hard approach didn't work, Xiao Jiu decided to try a softer one.

Xiao Jiu raised its fluffy, adorable head, looking at Jiang Chen with a fawning expression. Then it rubbed against his cheek, and then against his cheek again, its gentle meows almost melting one's heart.

"Meow meow meow~~~"

Human, I want to eat yellow croaker, please give me some yellow croaker...

"Get up and practice your brute strength skills, and I'll give you the little yellow croaker to eat," Jiang Chen said seriously, his face stern.

"Meow meow meow~~~"

Xiao Jiu pretended not to hear and continued to pitifully try to please Jiang Chen.

After several attempts to please Jiang Chen, Xiao Jiu could only pout her chubby cheeks and painfully cultivate while sulking!

His face showed both anxiety and anger!

Those evil capitalists!

All you do is exploit my labor! I hate you so much!

Jiang Chen shook his head, gently patted Xiao Jiu's head, and comforted her, "Enduring those hellish training days will definitely pay off!"

The girl shook her head frantically, "No, no! No days without lying flat are hell!"

Jiang Chen remained silent and decided to ignore Xiao Jiu.

Jiang Chen summoned the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" and dripped another drop of the steel-clawed sea dog's essence blood onto it.

That's right, Jiang Chen decided to propose transferring the brute force skill to Xiao Jiu again.

In today's battle, the two only hunted two late-stage Awakened-level Flowerhorn Fish; the rest were mid-stage Awakened-level.

It's not that Jiang Chen didn't want to kill more late-stage Awakening-level Luohan fish, it's that he couldn't!

In today's battle, Xiao Jiu used the combination of brute force and steel claws to easily kill a mid-stage awakened Flowerhorn Fish.

However, its attack power is still insufficient when encountering a Flowerhorn fish in the late awakening stage!

This is the fundamental reason why the two only killed two heads.

If the 12 Flowerhorn fish they killed today were all at the late-stage Awakening level, then they would definitely not be ninth or tenth in rank right now!

Therefore, Jiang Chen's idea at this moment was very simple: to raise Xiao Jiu's brute force skill to the proficiency level as well!

At that time, with a proficient level of brute force and a proficient level of steel claw, it should be able to threaten a late-stage awakened Flowerhorn fish!

only……

Based on previous experience, it would take Jiang Chen a total of 5 extractions to upgrade his skills from the beginner level to the order of magnitude.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but shudder at the thought of having to suffer from kidney deficiency five more times!

However, for the sake of the ranking reward, Jiang Chen could only take a deep breath, stuff a Qiongyin capsule into his mouth, and then make a dramatic mark on the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures"!

Brute force skill, extract!

I'm here to take first place on the leaderboard!
