PDLP Chapter 179 On the Eve of the Pet Cup
Chapter 179 On the Eve of the Pet Cup
It might seem that, apart from its increased size, the Fire Dog is weaker than before its evolution, but those who witnessed the evolution certainly don't think so.
The evolved fire hound possessed a restrained explosive power, especially those three purple flames that sent shivers down one's spine.
Yongzhi stared blankly up at his brother, who was now much taller than him, and murmured...
"Three Separations from the Sacred Fire Dog, Three Separations from the Sacred Fire Dog"
After muttering to himself a few times, Yongzhi gradually became excited and stopped muttering softly.
He shouted loudly to the big brother in front of him.
"Triple-Separation Sacred Fire Hound! So that's what you're called after you evolved!"
"Ouch~"
The three sacred fire hounds responded enthusiastically to Yongzhi's uncertainty, making him realize, who had initially thought he was dreaming, that it was all real.
Those around also heard Yongzhi call the evolved dog in front of him the Triple Sacred Fire Hound, and understood that the further evolution of the Fire Hound was the Triple Sacred Fire Hound.
Some daring people shouted questions to Yongzhi in the queue.
"Hey kid! How did your Fire Hound evolve?"
Yongzhi never intended to keep it a secret; it was something that couldn't be kept hidden forever, and someone would find out sooner or later anyway. He figured he might as well do the stall owner a favor.
Later, we'll see if we can sell him some chili peppers repeatedly. This incident made Yongzhi realize that chili peppers seem to be a great help to fire-type magical beasts!
"Spicy! It's the spiciness that made my brother evolve!"
Hearing Yongzhi's answer, the others had no doubts. They looked at the barbecue skewers on the ground and the chili flakes that still lingered around the mouth of the evolved Sacred Fire Hound.
They had no reason not to believe Yongzhi was telling the truth! The queue went wild again. They had originally lined up to eat the delicious food, but now they discovered that it was not only delicious, but could also help their magical beasts evolve!
How could they not get excited? Meanwhile, some customers who had already bought barbecue and crayfish quickly summoned their summoned beasts upon hearing Yongzhi's words.
Let their summoned beasts enjoy this delicious food too, waiting expectantly, hoping that their own summoned beasts can evolve like Yongzhi's Flame Dog.
Just as Yongzhi had predicted, apart from the fire-type summons undergoing varying degrees of evolution, the other creatures didn't react for a moment.
Oh! No, that's not right either. Some summoners who have water-type summons fed their pets spicy barbecue, and instead of evolving on the spot, they got diarrhea immediately.
That night, the pet shop was filled with water-type summoned beasts hospitalized due to diarrhea, leading summoners who owned water-type summoned beasts to categorize chili peppers as a forbidden food.
Yufei and Lei Jun noticed the commotion outside the team and were also happy about the upgrade of Yongzhi Flame Dog.
At the same time, it was unbelievable that chili peppers from their planet Earth could have such power? Later, they heard that a water-type summoned beast tried to imitate it and immediately developed diarrhea.
This meant that Yufei and Lei Jun had to kindly remind customers, especially those with water-type summoned beasts, that spicy food was forbidden for them after each purchase.
Although we prepared plenty of ingredients today, it couldn't keep up with the much larger crowds compared to yesterday, especially since we heard that spiciness can help fire-type summoned beasts level up.
The queue had grown considerably larger with fire-type summoners who had come specifically to try it. Later, Mi Le, Qi Huang, and Li Lanjuan stopped greeting customers outside the stall and instead helped Lei Jun and Yu Fei prepare the crayfish barbecue.
I barely finished my work yesterday, and as before, some people still couldn't buy crayfish and barbecue. There's nothing I can do about it.
Yufei and her team said goodbye to the customers and prepared to go home early to rest. Seven more brothers needed to complete the summoning tomorrow.
This time, they didn't sleep in Miler's courtyard. Tima from the Beast God Temple overheard them discussing finding accommodation and said he happened to have this house. He didn't usually live there, so they could stay there during the competition.
The Temple of the Beast God also arranged accommodations for our trips to other places.
Yufei and the others realized that living outside Miler's place all the time wasn't a good solution, so they accepted Tima's offer.
At the same time, I've made up my mind to do my best to get into the national team, and then find a way to repay the favors I owe Timmy! Otherwise, having something on my mind will always affect my Dao heart...
After dropping Miler off at home, they decided to find a secluded corner without cameras, toss some of the barbecue stall equipment into their dimensional space, and then returned to their lodgings unburdened.
They hadn't slept all night, and it was almost 3 a.m. when they finally went to bed in their new place.
Lei Jun and the others still got up around 8 o'clock as usual, only Yufei was still asleep, because she was still a high school student who was still growing.
Lei Jun and the others didn't wake Yufei. She was exhausted lately, and there were only seven people to complete the summoning today, so there was no need for her to accompany them.
Therefore, Lei Jun asked Li Lanjuan to stay behind to protect Yufei, while he took the other seven brothers to the Temple of Thunder to complete the summoning ritual.
There were even more people at the Beast God Temple today than yesterday, but most of them were in the auxiliary Beast Halls; the main Beast Hall was completely empty.
Yesterday, Tima also greeted the people from the Beast God Temple, and they quickly completed the summoning of the main beast.
When Yufei woke up, it was already past 1 p.m., mainly because she was hungry.
She groggily came out of the bedroom and smelled the aroma of food.
"You're awake? Perfect timing! Lunch is ready, come down and eat!"
After Li Lanjuan finished making lunch, she was about to go to Yufei's room to wake her up for lunch when she found that Yufei was already up.
This way, she wouldn't have to agonize over whether to let Yufei eat something before going to sleep, or to let her sleep it off before heating up her food.
"Okay!"
Yufei answered groggily as she walked downstairs. She hadn't gone more than a few steps when she seemed to snap out of it completely.
Her eyes widened in surprise at first, then she ran downstairs with a thud.
"Ah...it's noon already?! I slept for so long? Where's Lei Jun? Tell them to hurry up and get to the Beast God Temple, or we might be too late!"
Yufei looked around, searching for Lei Jun and the others.
"No need to look, they've already gone over there~ Come and eat."
Li Lanjuan carried two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks to the table and said to Yufei...
"Ah~ I overslept, Sister Juan, why didn't you wake me up?"
Yufei was a little annoyed that she had overslept and missed such an important thing.
"Oh dear! You must be exhausted these days, little girl~ Nobody's blaming you. They're not children anymore, they don't need their mothers to go out."
Don't worry about them, they'll be back when they're done. Just focus on eating well—you seem to have lost weight these past three days.
Li Lanjuan picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers and put it in Yufei's bowl, indicating that she shouldn't overthink it and should eat her food.
The high-altitude competition starts tomorrow!
Even if Yufei was frustrated, it was too late. She started eating her meal happily, waiting for them to return and see what battle pets they had summoned.
