Chapter 490 (1/2)

Drinking Soup (2)

“How does the system work? This is a level 7 creature, shouldn’t it be 7 points?” asked Ye Lang. This question was often asked by participants, it made sense.

“No, it doesn’t work that way. Common wild animals- 1 point, difficult-to-catch wild animals- 2 points, magical beasts level 5 and below- 3 points, magical beasts above level 5- 5 points, Di Earth Level beasts- 50 points, Tian Heavenly Level beasts- 100 points, anything else would be a case-by-case basis,” explained Li Yue.

To be honest, most people thought any creatures below the Di Earth Level were basically regular wild animals… The ones who had such an opinion were of course warriors who’d already attained the Di Earth LEvel.

The difference in points would just be their luck because one would have to be very lucky to meet a magical beast.

Also, although the beasts were classified as such in theory, a Level 9 warrior could most definitely kill a Level 9 magical beast. It would not be too difficult either because a beast was still an animal. It lacked the wisdom and cunning of a human.

“Tian Level… Di Level… Why would these kinds of magical beasts appear in this area…” he asked casually.

“Yeah, magical beasts are already rare, hunters are considered lucky if they encounter any. High-level beasts almost never appear, I can’t believe how fortunate we are today to meet such a high-level one,” said Li Yue mildly as she watched the soup boil in the pot.

“Of course we’re lucky, I have my lucky stars!” said Ye Lang. If Li Yue had known he was Ye Lang, she would’ve nodded. She did not respond to this statement.

A long time passed. The pot of soup smelled amazing. Li Yue and Ye Lang killed time with small talk, all merely boring and minor topics.

Li Yue didn’t seem to be in a hurry to go hunt either. This was perhaps she did not care much for rankings, she just enjoyed the process of participation.

If she wasn’t in a hurry, Ye Lang obviously wasn’t either. He let the pot of soup broil longer so it would be richer as time passed.

In the end, Li Yue was the one who served the soup first or Ye Lang might’ve waited at least half an hour more...

“Not bad.”

When she drank the soup, she realised it had a simple fragrance. There were no complicated ingredients involved, there was beauty in its simplicity.

“Of course, I made it!” grinned Ye Lang with no hint of humility.

“You don’t act like a member of the fox tribe at all, you talk more like a shameless human,” huffed Li Yue as she took another gulp of soup.

“I’m not from the fox tribe! Also, I do care about my pride too,” said Ye Lang said solemnly.

“...”

Li Yue shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Conversation with him was sometimes exhausting! However, he was right. He wasn’t from the fox tribe, the Fox clan had both human and beastmen blood in them and they’d been mixing with humans for generations now.

“Alright, let’s go.”

After a satisfying meal, they packed and Li Yue stood up to announce they should leave soon. They still had to trek deeper into the forest.

There shouldn’t be any more animals in the area because this was the territory of the wolf. No other animals would want to be here.

“You go ahead, I’ll catch up later. I’ll clean up the area, in case we accidentally left any fire starters here. Then we’d be in trouble,” said Ye Lang.

“We’re done with that, we’ve packed everything. And we’ve already put out the fire with water, everything will be fine.” Li Yue was the one who put out the fire, she was very sure about this.
