Chapter 58: Shen Gongbao Promotes Again
"Does it need two?"
She had become a two-star powerhouse simply by absorbing a single three-star bronze beast core. She had not expected that for Shen Gongbao to advance to the bronze tier, it would require two three-star or higher bronze beast cores.
"Fierce beasts are much harder to advance than humans, but they are born with immensely powerful physical bodies."
Every creature had its strengths and weaknesses, a truth most vividly manifested in humans.
After chatting for a while and realizing that Shen Gongbao would not wake up anytime soon, Qin Chuan took out the stealth tent.
"What is this?" Shangguan Ruoyun asked curiously.
"This is a stealth tent obtained from the lucky draw. It can render itself completely hidden, though I have no idea if it actually works," Qin Chuan replied.
"Stealth!" Shangguan Ruoyun was extremely surprised. "If that's really true, we'll be able to sleep much more peacefully at night."
No one wanted to sleep exposed to the wind and dew every day unless forced by circumstances. Naturally, Shangguan Ruoyun did not want to spend a long time sleeping outside in the forest; it was not only dangerous, but also impossible to sleep soundly.
"Heavens, this is actually a stealth tent!"
"I thought Qin Chuan had obtained some incredible treasure, but it's just a tent."
"Stealth? Does this kind of thing actually work in the wilderness?"
"It doesn't seem to have much practical use in Qin Chuan's hands, though."
"This thing is great! You guys who have never lived in the wild simply have no idea how miserable survival out here can be."
Qin Chuan opened the stealth tent and activated it. Like an electronic device, the tent began to expand, finally taking the shape of a proper tent.
"Didn't you say it's stealthy? How come we can still see it?" Shangguan Ruoyun asked, confused.
"I haven't turned on its stealth function yet." Qin Chuan pressed the remote control, configuring the tent into stealth mode.
Immediately afterward, they watched as the tent began to change, slowly fading away until it completely vanished from sight.
"It really disappeared!" Shangguan Ruoyun was very surprised, not expecting that it would truly become invisible, as if nothing was there at all.
She stepped forward and felt around, discovering that the tent was still there; it was simply invisible to the eye.
"That's wonderful! With this, we'll be able to sleep peacefully at night." Shangguan Ruoyun was overjoyed.
"Let's go inside and take a look."
The two of them entered the tent.
Live broadcast room:
"Damn, I've discovered some black tech!"
"This lucky draw is overpowered; it actually turned invisible!"
"With this thing, wouldn't you be able to hide anywhere? That is insanely awesome."
"I want to own a stealth tent so badly."
"This thing is truly amazing."
After the two of them entered the tent, the others followed inside as well, discovering that there was even a bed inside. Shangguan Ruoyun immediately hopped onto it and said, "Even though it's only been a few days, it feels like it's been ages since I last touched a bed."
Shortly after, Shangguan Ruoyun looked surprised and said, "This bed seems to be inflatable, and it's quite soft, too."
Qin Chuan jumped up as well, saying, "It's still much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground."
"That's for sure."
The two of them played and joked around on the bed for a while, showing countless viewers the adorable side of Shangguan Ruoyun and Qin Chuan.
The tent had many functions. It could even absorb light energy to generate electricity. Inside, they had lighting, could boil water, and even take a shower. It was practically like carrying a miniature house around with them, making things incredibly convenient.
Most importantly, they could still see the situation outside from within the tent. The tent could automatically detect the aura of any living creature within a hundred-meter radius and instantly sound an alarm. It was quite literally an essential item for traveling.
Qin Chuan tossed Shen Gongbao into the tent, while Shangguan Ruoyun set about preparing a sumptuous meal.
Although the ingredients consisted of nothing more than fruits and meat, they were in no position to be picky.
Many viewers in the chat openly cried out, begging to trade items with Qin Chuan for food.
They were immensely envious of the meat and fruits found within the forbidden territory.
Consuming such items provided tremendous benefits to them.
A wave of spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from Shen Gongbao. Qin Chuan remarked, "It's finally going to break through."
Without hesitation, Qin Chuan kicked Shen Gongbao right out of the tent, leaving the newly awakened beast utterly bewildered, with no idea why Qin Chuan had struck it.
A surge of spiritual energy gathered from all directions, forming a small vortex of spiritual energy that Shen Gongbao greedily devoured.
Five minutes later, Shen Gongbao let out a happy, mighty roar.
"Roar!"
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, a foot directly kicked Shen Gongbao flying, sending its head plunging straight into a pile of withered leaves, inflicting millions of points of mental and physical damage upon the beast.
"What are you roaring for? I'm not in the mood to fight right now."
Shangguan Ruoyun had just finished cooking a large pile of delicious food, and Qin Chuan had no intention of letting a beast ruin his good mood.
Shen Gongbao quickly trotted over ingratiatingly to cozy up to Qin Chuan, only to watch Qin Chuan walk toward a certain spot and suddenly vanish.
Shen Gongbao: " ̄~ ̄???"
Its little leopard brain was a bit dazed. Where had Qin Chuan gone?
Its feline head simply couldn't comprehend it.
Moments later, Qin Chuan poked his head out from the empty void, as if suspended in nothingness, scaring Shen Gongbao so badly that every hair on its body stood on end. ╰╮o( ̄皿 ̄///)
"Big cat, if you don't come in now, there won't be anything left to eat."
After saying this, Qin Chuan's head disappeared.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
"Every time Qin Chuan pranks Shen Gongbao, it cracks me up for a whole day."
"This Shen Gongbao is unlucky enough to have run into such a little demon lord like Qin Chuan."
"Consider it lucky. Without Qin Chuan, this little leopard would still be at the one-star level by now."
"I noticed Shen Gongbao's fur has gotten glossy and pretty again."
Only then did Shen Gongbao slowly walk over to the spot where Qin Chuan's head had vanished.
It stretched out a small paw, found that it touched something solid, and then pushed that barrier aside, revealing the scene within.
The little leopard wore a look of utter shock. (キ`゚Д゚´)!!
Shen Gongbao walked inside, looking at everything around it with boundless curiosity. Finally, it sat down next to a table, its eyes locked onto the delicious food in a daze.
"Eat up, eat up."
Shangguan Ruoyun handed Shen Gongbao a basin piled high with meat, which moved the beast to the verge of tears. The young lady was indeed the best to it after all.
"So delicious!"
Days with cooked meat to eat were the only kind of life a leopard truly needed.
The two humans and one leopard happily enjoyed a wonderful meal.
"Look at this Shen Gongbao, eating with such relish."
"Sigh, seeing this scene, I just want to say: Young lady, please give me another basin too!"
"I feel like the young lady is still missing a wise and martial person like me by her side. That would make a complete family."
"Shameless! The young lady belongs to me forever."
"Stop arguing, stop arguing! The young lady belongs to Yanhuang!"
They couldn't help but compare the experiences of Qin Chuan and Shangguan Ruoyun with the chosen ones of other countries.
And they couldn't help bursting into laughter.
While others were hiding in underground basements and caves, not daring to make the slightest sound, Qin Chuan and Shangguan Ruoyun were eating meat in big chunks, drinking soup in big gulps, and chatting as they pleased. The contrast was simply too stark.
