Please be my partner.

Open the door and go to the living room.

Mellen asked, "Why, do you want to talk to me?"

Sora said, "The holiday is only a dozen days away. I wanted to ask you, what are your plans for the holiday?"

Mellen said casually, "What else can we do? Of course we return to Vero City."

Sora said, "If you have nothing to do during the holidays, why don't we go north together?"

"North?" Melen looked puzzled.

Sora smiled and said, "Firstly, the climate there is cooler in July and August, so we can escape the heat. Secondly, there are more wild animals in this season, so we can go hunting."

"This isn't some small-scale hunting on the Gano Farm. This is real hunting in nature, against ferocious beasts. In the vast snow forests of the north, you can encounter winter bears, lions, tigers, wolves, and all kinds of ferocious beasts."

"If we have enough time, we can also go hiking in the snow-capped mountains, skiing, etc."

Melen felt that the world's civilization and technology might not be very advanced, but in terms of pure enjoyment, especially for the upper class people in this world, it was definitely rich and colorful.

After thinking for a moment, Mellen shook his head regretfully and said, "Sorry, I already have plans for this holiday."

He planned to use this holiday to explore for traces of the 'Swallowing Swamp' in Vero City.

Putting aside other things, as far as spiritual energy is concerned, the more the better for him.

Besides, he still remembered the corroder who almost killed him and Spike.

The reason why he has been pushing himself so hard in the past few months may be that he wants revenge.

I believe that when they meet again, the invader will be surprised!

Chapter 89: Xiao Honglian, please be my partner!

6 month 13 day.

In the training area, in the practice room.

Mellen lay quietly on the small bed for rest. The geometric structure in his spiritual world had reached a certain critical point, and it seemed that special changes might occur at any time.

At a certain moment, without any earth-shattering vision or outburst of momentum, the geometric structures silently overlapped, and a second new structure extended from the core of their intersection.

【Wolf Tamer】, promoted to the second level!

This also means that Mellen can make a contract with the second dog.

At the same time, a large amount of information poured out from the wolf-shaped pendant, allowing Melen to understand that this magical item had a new ability.

【Bloodline Plunder】!

After organizing the information in his mind, Melen understood the new ability of the wolf-shaped pendant.

[Bloodline Plunder]: Able to plunder the bloodline of dead extraordinary beings, and after transformation, can give life to other wolf-types.

To understand it literally, this should be an ability that is specifically designed to give the dog extraordinary bloodline.

For example, if Melen kills a dragon or obtains the corpse of a dragon, he can plunder the dragon's bloodline, transform it, and give it to a dog.

It didn't take long for him to figure out the real use of this ability.

Given the affinity between him and dogs, as long as they are his dogs, they will not betray him even without a contract.

Then, he can raise many dogs, and then add extraordinary blood to each dog, so that he can easily get an extraordinary... army of dogs!

Unfortunately, before he could even conjure up the image of commanding the Paw Patrol to wipe out everything, he sensed something was amiss.

After carefully checking the information again, he focused his attention on the words "after modification" and his expression turned grim.

Be reformed?

It's impossible to let him get it for free, right?!

So, what the transformation consumes is...

Thinking of this, he immediately went to the arena to hunt for an extraordinary life.

The result was quickly obtained. Hunting extraordinary life forms obtained 1.7 spiritual energies, but transforming their bloodlines required 3.5 spiritual energies, more than double.

Moreover, the cost of this transformation is not fixed and will fluctuate depending on the bloodline.

But overall, for Mellen at this moment, he can't afford to play this game.

His current spiritual energy is not enough to train Spike and the soon-to-be-born Little Red Lotus, so how can he have enough to train other minions?

Besides, even if one trained a hundred new dogs, they would still not be enough for Spike to beat with one claw.

Of course, this ability is not completely useless. If you encounter some extraordinary life forms with special bloodlines, you can also use this method to preserve them for future use.

Because of the destruction of the corpses of extraordinary creatures used for hunting in the arena, Melen also paid some extra gold coins.

In the training room, Melen solemnly pulled Xiao Honglian in front of him and looked at the little guy seriously.

The little guy already had a premonition of what was going to happen. He looked at his owner with sparkling eyes and wagging his tail.

Melen gently stroked the little guy's head and said seriously, "Little Honglian, please be my partner!"

The shaking of Xiao Honglian's tail suddenly stopped, and her eyes gradually turned from bright to crystal clear.

God knows how envious the dog was when it saw its owner say this to the big dog.

God knows how long it has been waiting for these words day and night.

Thinking of this, it couldn't bear it anymore and pounced on him, wagging its tail rapidly and acting like a spoiled child.

I want to, I want to, I want to...

Contract, accomplished!

Unlike Spike who is reserved, Xiao Honglian always expresses her true emotions.

Feeling this fiery passion, Mellen could only chuckle and calm the little guy's emotions.

The moment he made the contract with Xiao Honglian, Melen felt a lot of changes.

After being promoted to the second level of [Wolf Tamer], the ability of [Soul Interaction] is improved.

Now he can get 20% of the physical fitness of the contracted dogs.

Contracted dogs can also get a 20% all-around improvement.

This alone has caused Mellen's overall strength to skyrocket.

In addition, after being promoted to the second level, Melen's mental power has undergone a certain qualitative change and leap, and the total amount has also been greatly improved.

This brought a glimmer of hope to the active ability [Soul Interaction] which had been unable to be used due to Spike's rapid increase in strength.

After contracting with Little Red Lotus, the little guy's contribution to Mellen's physical fitness was naturally far inferior to Spike's, but the spiritual addition gave him some surprises.

It increased his mental power by almost 10%. By this conversion, Xiao Honglian's mental power is now half of Mellen's.

When Little Red Lotus grows up, this bonus will become even greater.

Moreover, for Mellen, the blessing of the two contracts is more than that. It was not obvious when there was only one before, but now he can clearly feel that his qualifications have also been improved.

[Contract Summoning] and [Damage Transfer] became more handy during practice, and those obscure knowledge also became clearer during public classes.

Originally, he had some difficulties in learning Wu language and ancient Hermetic language, and many parts were difficult to understand.

But now, he felt as if the knowledge would wander and combine in his mind, automatically finding where they should go.

Mellen felt like he had opened the door to a new world. If he had this kind of brain in his previous life, perhaps becoming a winner in life would not have been such a difficult thing.

This is the difference between genius and mediocrity?!

It is indeed bigger than I could have imagined.

In addition, after the contract was reached, the [Enemy of the World] in the Little Red Lotus state also became looming.

Melen didn't know whether this was because Xiao Honglian had gained the world's recognition after reaching a contract with him, a native of this world, or because the Wolf Tamer's contract itself had a shielding effect.

But there is no doubt that the curse effect of [Enemy of the World] has been weakened.

For the little red lotus in the past, it needed to wear a collar to suppress its own strength and enter a cage to shield its own aura. Only with these two layers of debuff could it be completely undiscovered by the world.

If anything is missing, the world will treat it as an alien and expel it.

The specific manifestation is the hostility and malice of the world.

This hostility and malice will turn into something like "Final Destination", constantly trying to wipe out Xiao Honglian through various accidents, and may even form a substantial force that spreads out.

This is what others call the curse of 'misfortune'.

Now, as the curse effect of [Enemy of the World] has been weakened, Xiao Honglian no longer needs to stay in the cage for a long time. She only needs to wear a collar to move freely in the outside world.

It is equivalent to removing a layer of debuff.

Although the environment in the [Azure Ring] is good enough, it may be a bigger cage for Xiao Honglian!

Moreover, even if the collar is removed now, the horrible curse will not come instantly like before, but there will be a certain delay.

This allows Xiao Honglian to completely remove the suppression within a certain period of time and be able to exert her full strength.

You know, Xiao Honglian's true strength at this time is also very strong among the first-level extraordinary life forms, but it cannot be revealed due to the suppression of the collar.

As I continued to adapt to my various abilities, the two days passed quickly.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Melen fell asleep with a smile on his face.

The next day, August 6th.

After finishing his morning exercise, Mellen packed up and headed for the Special Affairs Bureau.

"What? You want to exchange for [Final Track]?!"

At the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters, Salim shouted in shock after hearing Mellen's words.

He said anxiously, "Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you about the side effects of [Final Track] before? Using this extraordinary item can kill people!"

Mellen said calmly: "So, I am ready."

"Ready?!" Salim laughed, seemingly infuriated. "Are you talking about the [Damage Transfer] you redeemed earlier? Unless you can perfect it and become immune to fatal damage without delay, one day, you'll die under [Final Trajectory]!"

"How long do you think it will take you to perfect Damage Transfer? Three years? Five years?"

Mellen did not answer this question. He felt that with his current condition, it would only take three months at most to perfect [Damage Transfer]!

Before that, he could appropriately control the frequency of using [Final Trajectory] as long as he did not trigger the highest-level side effects of this extraordinary item.

After all, what he has to do during the holidays is still quite dangerous, so he should be as well prepared as possible at this time.

Seeing that Mellen's face remained calm, Salim gradually calmed down. Thinking of Mellen's style of doing things, he asked seriously, "Are you sure?"

The question here is naturally whether Mellen is sure that he will not be harmed by [Final Trajectory].

A smile appeared on Mellen's lips and he nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Salim stopped trying to persuade him.

The news of Melen exchanging for the [Final Trajectory] was reported through various levels and soon reached Osama's ears.

Osama, who had been paying some attention to the former, agreed to the exchange request after a little thought.

After that, it was Melen's turn to demonstrate his ability of [Damage Transfer] and he passed it smoothly.

The deduction of 1500 contributions directly brought Mellen's contribution to the Special Affairs Bureau to the bottom.

Soon, a silver revolver with a rough shape, like a monster, and a circle larger than an ordinary revolver appeared in front of Mellen.

There is also a document that records in detail the various data parameters, extraordinary abilities, negative effects, etc. of the [Final Trajectory].

At the signal from Secretary Fate, Mellen resisted the temptation to pick up the Iron Monster immediately and took the document to read it carefully.

I took a quick look at the data parameters and skipped over them. The focus was on the extraordinary abilities and side effects of [Final Trajectory].

(I’ll put the detailed data of [Final Tracks] in the related works later. You can go and check it out first, otherwise the plot will be a bit disconnected.)

After reading it carefully, Mellen breathed a sigh of relief.

[Final Track] This extraordinary item is indeed powerful, and can even be called comprehensive.

Of course, its side effects are beyond imagination, it is simply a wheel of death.

Needless to say, the first gear, load one bullet, and only fire one shot. Even if there is a one in six chance of hitting, it will only hit the hands or feet.

The second gear is quite powerful. You can load two bullets and fire two shots. The probability is much higher. Moreover, the target is the internal organs. Once hit, the degree of injury is incomparable to the first gear.

The third gear is simply courting death. Loading three bullets and firing three shots, and shooting at vital parts such as the head and heart. If three consecutive shots are blanks, it would be truly extraordinary.
