Chapter 51 (2/2)

As he watched the rhinoceros run, Wei Huo chased after it. ‘Did you really think I would let go of such a sharp-looking ride?’

Wei Huo charged toward it and grabbed the rhinoceros by its horn. The rhinoceros was angry and started struggling, however how could it break free of Wei Huo’s strength?

The rhinoceros was raging. It kept stomping the ground with its hindfoot, and tried to run itself into Wei Huo, however Wei Huo blocked it with only one hand.

Wei Huo used one hand to control the rhinoceros while checking the Item Mall with his other hand. Soon after that, he found a saddle that could adjust its size automatically. As long as that rhinoceros was tamed, the saddle could be fixed on it.

However, that rhinoceros would not be tamed easily. Its temperament was different from other creatures.

The rhinoceros stared right at Wei Huo. ‘I, the Big Rhinoceros, will never be a slave in my life. I’d rather die than give in to you.’

Wei Huo threw two punches at it.

‘It hurts!’

The rhinoceros was instantly tamed. It stopped struggling and throwing tantrums and let Wei Huo fix the saddle on its body.

Wei Huo went on to fix a bamboo table on top of its body as well while luggages were tied onto both sides of it.

With this, Wei Huo could conduct scientific research on the rhino’s back even while traveling.

Wei Huo created a pair of robotic arms upon exerting great effort. These robotic arms were two meters tall. If he wore them himself, he could walk with those rather than his own legs. The robotic arms were powerful. The strength of an ordinary person would be increased by five or six-folds if they used these robotic arms.

If robotic legs, body, and head shields could be developed after this, it would become a giant mecha. Once worn, a person’s combat and defensive skills would soar.

On top of that, Wei Huo could also install a weapon system on the mecha. There could be automatic rifles, laser guns, tracking missiles, ion thrusters and so on.

Unfortunately, although these weapons were available in the Item Mall, they were too expensive. With Wei Huo’s current combat capabilities, he did not need weapons like those at all.

Wei Huo created a scanner in order to find some forgotten tech along the way, but unfortunately he could not find any.

On the fifth year of Wei Huo’s journey to the west while riding the rhinoceros, the long-lost voice appeared again.

“New release for Players. Friend System, Pet System, Skill System, and Tech Tree System[1] implemented.”

“New event added, Ruins. Ancient Technology, Ancient Equipment, Legendary Creatures, and Ancient Dangers[2] can be found within Ruins.”

“New updates on Protoss. The Protoss have obtained part of this planet’s controls. They will begin making slight changes to the planet which will go on for 200 years.”

God’s voice gradually trailed off, but Wei Huo had yet to snap out of it. Ruins? Protoss? More and more elements were being added to the game. This world was no longer what it used to be!

However, Wei Huo was most interested in the Pet System.

He opened the Pet System and the first thing that came into view were three insect eggs. All three of them had similar characteristics. Next on display was his pet rhinoceros.

‘Empress Candidate Insect Eggs. Gender: Female. Rank: Normal. These eggs are hatchable but they do not have the ability to reproduce.

‘Rhinoceros. Gender: Male. Rank: Rare. This pet has the ability to reproduce.’
