Chapter 120 Ling Long
The creature was small, its pelt was almost completely black except for its crimson red ears. The size was like that of a small cat but its appearance was not at all similar to that of a cat since it had a small pair of wings on its back.
Xie Feng carefully observed the little beast that looked at him with its big pair of black eyes and somehow felt that he had already seen that appearance somewhere.
Unfortunately, before he could think too much, the little creature let out a strange little scream and ran towards him. Unconsciously, Xie Feng took a step back, but he soon felt that the strange creature had no intention of harming him; therefore, he stopped and did not run away.
The little beast jumped up and just before crashing against Xie Feng's body, he could swear he saw a smile on the little animal's face; as if it were happy about something.
*Thud!*
Xie Feng fell to the ground with the creature on him. The large black eyes, shining like two gems, were only a few inches away. It was also at this time that Xie Feng realized that this little beast had no hair, it was scales!
Suddenly, Xie Feng remembered a series of cartoons that he watched when he was still in the orphanage and unconsciously cried out:
"Dragonite, it's you!?"
The little beast in his arms looked like a little baby Dragonite!
However, while Dragonite was a yellowish color, the little dragon that stared at him was jet black with some red shades.
"Puuh, Puuuh!"
The little beast made a strange baby sound, making Xie Feng smile subconsciously and pat its head.
[Ding!... 'Noname' wishes to become your pet. Do you accept?]
If you were walking on the street and someone gave you a thousand dollars, how would you feel? You would be filled with joy and break out in laughter... You would be stunned and feeling helpless for a while… Because if something out of the ordinary happens, this was the most basic reaction possible.
The pet rating will only open when a minimum of ten players in the entire Chinese server have a pet. Xie Feng did not know if there were more players who had already gotten a pet, but even if there were, there could only be nine of them and definitely not ten.
In other words, even if he wasn't sure that he was the only one, he was one of the ten players with a pet among hundreds of millions of players who had already left the Beginner's Village. You could see how valuable and hard to get pets really are.
At this time, there was actually a strange little creature with the appearance of a cartoon that was taking the initiative to become his pet for no reason.
When Xie Feng looked at the little animal in shock, this little creature seemed to understand his doubts as it actually did something that left Xie Feng stunned.
The little Dragonite actually smiled and nodded as if it were a human being!
"Pffft- Hahaha! Okay, from now on we are partners!" Xie Feng couldn't help but laugh at the little animal's behavior: "I accept!"
[Ding!... You have successfully accepted 'Noname' as your pet. Choose a name for your pet.]
"Mmmh... A name, eh?" Xie Feng stood up and held the baby dragon high as he looked into its eyes. Seeing its bright eyes, Xie Feng got an idea and asked: "Since your eyes are bright as a piece of jade and you look like a dragon, how about Ling Long?"
"Puuh, Puuuh!"
The little creature smiled and nodded repeatedly, content with the name.
Seeing this, Xie Feng smiled too and no longer hesitated: "All right! Then, your name will be Ling Long! Take care of me from now on, Ling Long!"
[Ding!... Your pet, Ling Long, has been successfully named!]
At the moment the contract was confirmed, Xie Feng felt much closer to the little beast in his arms. Apparently, Ling Long felt the same way, as it immediately began to rub its tiny head against his chest.
Curious, and while pampering his new companion on this long trip, Xie Feng opened Ling Long's status window.
[Ling Long: Immortal Grade Beast -
Level: 0
Master: Shiva
Race unknown, origin unknown, age unknown, gender female. A creature suddenly appeared on the Adastreia Continent, probably a being from another world, however, the information is insufficient to confirm.
Ling Long can be used as a mount. Due to the insufficient level, Ling Long cannot currently be used as a mount.]
Immortal Grade Beast!? Xie Feng was completely shocked. This being that randomly took the initiative to become his pet was actually an Immortal Grade Beast. This was like a dream, like several million dollars falling from the sky… Moreover, its description was filled with the word "unknown". This meant that even the system could not tell what it really was. The only apparent information was that Ling Long was a female.
However, the words "from another world" made Xie Feng's heart flutter like a boat in the middle of the sea being hit by a heavy storm.
Xie Feng forcibly suppressed his emotions and continued to check out her status window.
[HP: 2000
MP: 1000
Physical Attack Power: 350
Magic Attack Power: 0
Accuracy: 70
Evasion: 10
Attack Speed: 150
Movement Speed: 150
Defense: 150
Wind Resistance 100% / Light Resistance 30% / Dark Resistance 0% / Earth Resistance 0% / Lightning Resistance 0% / Water Resistance 0% / Fire Resistance 0%]
Ling Long's statistics made Xie Feng breathe cold air. Ling Long had over 2000 HP and 350 physical attack points at level 0!
Xie Feng had just over 200 HP when he was level 0 and most of his HP came primarily from the Ring of the God of Destruction. While other players would have a maximum of 100 at level 0!
However, Ling Long's magic attack power had a value that should technically never appear: 0!
With high HP, physical attack power, and accuracy, it was clear that this was a pure physical attack life form. Although Xie Feng had never seen another pet until now, he knew that her stats were off-balance compared to the rest. It was completely impossible for all pets to be so terrifying, even if they are Immortal-grade.
[Skills -
Calamity Claw: Each hand has four claws and each claw causes an amount of damage equal to the normal Ling Long's damage. Using it consumes 100 MP and has no reuse time.]
Just seeing Ling Long's first skill, Xie Feng froze again.
Each hand has four claws and each claw inflicts separate damage. In short, Ling Long could attack 4 times in just 1 second!
What's more, it had no reuse time!
The skill recently acquired by Xie Feng after acquiring his new class; Stab Redemption inflicted 200% physical damage and had no reuse time. However, Ling Long's Calamity Claw caused 400% damage in just 1 second. This means that Stab Redemption was left in the dust!
As if that weren't enough, Ling Long's attack speed was 150 points... Generally, the attack speed is pre-set depending on the weapon the player utilizes, for example; archers can attack 6 times in five seconds, on the other hand, assassins have an attack speed of 150 points and can attack 3 times in two seconds, being the fastest class in the game.
Ling Long not only had a powerful starting attack capability as well as a high movement speed, but she also had an attack speed that rivaled that of an assassin!
But... Ling Long didn't have just one skill.
[Explosive Fist: The user takes a battle position, retracts the claws, and clenches the fists to hit a single target and cause explosive damage. Base damage is equivalent to 200% of the user's base attack power with a 100% chance of disrupting magic chants or skills charges. If the target's defense is less than Ling Long's attack power, there is a 100% chance of being sent flying and a 20% chance of being stunned. Using it consumes 300 MP and has a reuse time of 5 seconds.]
[Instant Flap: Moves the wings at high speeds and increases the movement speed by 500 points to move around the enemy and make them dizzy. This skill is very powerful for furtive attacks, confusing the enemy, dodging, etc. It costs 5% of the user's maximum MP to use it each time. It has no reuse time.]
[Fly: Unlockable at level 20. Mount mode.]
Seeing Ling Long's first three skills, Xie Feng couldn't help but feel a little envious; especially of the last skill. If the skill Instant Flip, unrestricted with a shocking effect belonged to him, it would be a wonderful thing. Combined with his innate skills and stats, he could completely overwhelm his enemies and become their nightmares. Unfortunately, Xie Feng could only be envious, because this ability was Ling Long's.
Fortunately for him, the ability to fly kindled some hope. Maybe... Only maybe, when Ling Long becomes level 20, he will be able to ride her and fly on her.
Although Ling Long's race was unknown, Xie Feng was sure that she was a type of dragon. How great would it be if he could ride a huge dragon? Wouldn't his enemies die of fear just to see him?
However, as he looked at the small cat-sized creature, and saw her palm-sized wings flapping furiously as she looked at him with a friendly smile; Xie Feng could not imagine this little dragon causing terror.
