Chapter 320: Better for Pets to Work Hard Than Yourself 2
After Du Yu experimented on himself, he found his Master and reported his findings.
"This method is indeed effective. Although I feel the improvement is very small, it's still infinitely better than the hopeless groping in the dark I was doing before."
Du Yu's eyes burned with intensity. He was overjoyed because he had finally seen the path ahead.
Although the road ahead was long and uncertain, he believed that with perseverance, he would eventually see the scenery in the distance.
"Finding a direction to work towards is a good thing in itself," Qin Ziwen praised. He then thought of himself. Du Yu had found his path, but where was his own?
Currently, through his superhuman ability, he had obtained two powers.
First, the immense strength inherited from Little Black One.
Second, the airflow control inherited from the Crowned Eagle.
He could sense all changes in the airflow around him, like an ever-present spiderweb spread throughout his surroundings.
How should he train these two abilities...?
Qin Ziwen pondered. He had tried training his strength using physical cultivation methods before, but the results were negligible.
However, his physical strength had suddenly skyrocketed once recently.
He couldn't help but recall what he had been doing during that period when his strength surged.
Suddenly, he paused, thinking of a possibility.
That time his strength skyrocketed seemed to be exactly the second day after he used a Growth Card to shorten Little Black One's growth period, allowing it to leap forward in development.
Could it be related to it?
Thinking of this, Qin Ziwen decided to test it out. Coincidentally, he had obtained another Growth Card.
Returning to the Giant Beast Breeding Center, it was empty inside. Neither Little Black One nor Little White Dragon were there.
"Where are the dragons?" Qin Ziwen wondered, puzzled about where the two large dragons he raised had gone.
After making inquiries, Liu San said he had just seen the two over by the fish pond.
Qin Ziwen walked over. From a distance, he could see by the pond's edge, one large and one small, one black and one white, two dragons lying at the pond's edge, staring intently at the water's surface.
Little Black One had a long neck. It just needed to dip down to reach the water. It extended its pitch-black tongue and gave a light flick.
A large Crucian Carp was hooked into its mouth.
Little White Dragon was small and hadn't fully developed yet. Its two little claws paddled furiously, but despite its great effort, it couldn't reach the water's surface.
Its rear end stuck up higher and higher, its tail standing up like a telegraph pole.
"Plop~"
Its claws slipped, and it plunged headfirst into the pond.
Little Black One casually scooped it up, expertly fishing Little White Dragon out of the water and placing it to the side.
Little White Dragon shook its head, looking spirited. It glanced at Little Black One, then continued imitating its posture, lying by the fish pond's edge.
Seeing this scene, Qin Ziwen's face darkened.
Such a gentle and quiet Little White Dragon, and after being with Little Black One for only a short while, it had turned into this state.
"Ahem, ahem." Qin Ziwen coughed a few times.
Hearing the noise, the two dragons quickly raised their necks. Little Black One moved the fastest. With a powerful leap, its robust body pulled a long afterimage as it jumped over the fish pond, landing precisely on the opposite bank, then scampered joyfully towards Qin Ziwen.
Little White Dragon stood up. Little Black One was too tall; it blocked Qin Ziwen, so even if Little White Dragon stood on tiptoe, it couldn't see clearly.
Only when Qin Ziwen appeared on Little Black One's back did Little White Dragon finally see him clearly!
It chirped twice, wanting to imitate Little Black One's previous action, but after glancing at the wide pond surface, it couldn't help but retract its neck. It trotted on its short legs, circling a large detour like a windmill.
Seeing Qin Ziwen on Little Black One's back and unable to reach him itself, Little White Dragon became so angry it hopped and jumped, chirping incessantly at Little Black One's feet.
Qin Ziwen said, "Pick your sister up."
Only then did Little Black One, somewhat reluctantly, use its claw to hook and flick, tossing Little White Dragon onto its back.
Seeing Qin Ziwen again, Little White Dragon was very happy, its tail wagging like a propeller.
"Even though you are a female tyrannosaur, you should still be gentle and quiet. You can't truly act like a female tyrant," Qin Ziwen said, raising his hand and flicking a forehead flick on Little White Dragon's head.
"Thump~"
Little White Dragon covered its head.
Tears welled up in its eyes.
Riding on Little Black One's back, Qin Ziwen surveyed the entire Home.
The Home wasn't small, but for Little Black One, whose size had now grown considerably, it still felt somewhat cramped.
Qin Ziwen couldn't help but sigh, "This map isn't suitable for you guys to run around. We'll have to wait for the next map."
Little Black One nodded understandingly, a flicker of anticipation in its eyes.
Little White Dragon tilted its head. It didn't quite understand, but being in its master's embrace made it so happy.
It leaned its body, adjusted its posture, belly facing upwards, its tail curled up covering its little belly. Its eyelids were already getting heavy with sleepiness.
"To the warehouse," Qin Ziwen said.
Hearing the familiar word 'warehouse,' Little Black One's eyes immediately lit up.
Without needing Qin Ziwen to show the way, it expertly arrived beside the warehouse.
The person on duty at the warehouse entrance saw Little Black One approaching and was about to shout, but then he spotted Qin Ziwen riding on its back and hurriedly greeted, "Master!"
"Mm, good work. Open the warehouse."
"Yes."
Entering the warehouse, Qin Ziwen took out the silver Growth Card.
He aimed it at Little Black One.
[Perfect Development] Sufficient 30 tons of meat, rich in large amounts of fresh offal.
[Excellent Development] Sufficient 15 tons of meat.
[Standard Development] Sufficient 8 tons of meat.
[Poor Development] Sufficient 3 tons of meat.
As Little Black One developed, the amount of meat required by this Growth Card had skyrocketed compared to last time.
Was there enough meat left in the warehouse?
Qin Ziwen pondered internally. Although he was the leader of the Qin Alliance, he couldn't just casually use up all this meat.
Even in ancient times, emperors kept their private treasury and the state treasury separate.
"How many tons of meat are left in here?" Qin Ziwen looked at the warehouse keeper.
The warehouse keeper, thinking Qin Ziwen had come to check the accounts, hurriedly took out the ledger he carried with him.
Qin Ziwen took the ledger. There were forty-seven tons of meat left in the warehouse.
Almost all of it was fish, a significant portion caught by the fishing boats in recent days.
Qin Ziwen noted that three fishing boats had made entries into the warehouse.
Apart from the two fishing boats recently built at the Ghost Shipyard, there was also one named the Homesickness.
This Ghost Ship, when there was no war, transformed into a part-time fishing vessel.
"Alright, I'll withdraw thirty tons of meat," Qin Ziwen said to the warehouse keeper. "Record it under my name later."
"Yes," the warehouse keeper promptly agreed.
In fact, it wouldn't matter if the Master didn't record it... no one would dare to check.
The entire Qin Alliance belonged to the Master. The fish entering the warehouse daily were mostly caught by the fishing boats.
After deducting the daily wage shares for the workers on the boats, the remainder belonged to the Master.
To avoid Little Black One getting trapped inside the warehouse if its size increased further, Qin Ziwen didn't let it enter this time, instead having it wait outside the door.
When the Growth Card was activated, chunks of meat inside the warehouse were swallowed by a mysterious silver light. Little Black One was also enveloped within the silver radiance.
Within the silver light, the already massive Little Black One continued to grow.
Finally, as the light gradually dissipated.
Little Black One, now taller than the warehouse by a head, swayed its tail. Its body length now exceeded ten meters, reaching eleven meters. Its shoulder height was over four meters, and its head height surpassed five and a half meters.
Now, its size wasn't much smaller compared to that Male Tarbosaurus from the previous map.
When its crimson pupils swept over, the warehouse keeper standing nearby felt a chill run through his body, trembling involuntarily.
The Guild Leader's dinosaur was getting bigger and bigger.
Qin Ziwen opened his palm. As Little Black One grew, he could feel the fixed strength within his own body gradually increasing at a slow pace.
So that's how it was! It seemed his guess was indeed correct!
After he used the Plundering Favor from the Fallen contract, when the contracted target grew, his own abilities would grow along with it!
Then why should he 'grind' himself? Just grind the pets!
Better for pets to work hard than yourself!
