The two of them landed at the entrance of the Ice Extermination Cavern to wait for Pure Crane and Morning Glory Chime. Before theyâd split up, both groups had agreed to gather at the cavern entrance once they finished. However, other than the gentle Snow Mountain Bears, they werenât able to spot Pure Crane and Morning Glory Chime. The two of them probably hadnât gotten their hands on the Angelica Ginger yet.
"Donât kill all the bears, leave some for me to practice on," After seeing Quiet And Steadfast finish off a bear in one hit, Shen Jingbin felt a little restless and also wanted to try her hand at taking out the bears.
Quiet And Steadfast gave grunted in affirmation. As the Snow Mountain Bears were aggressive red-named mobs, they immediately pounced towards Shen Jingbin the moment he halted his attack and took a step back.
"... Why arenât they coming at me one by one?!" She cried out in astonishment as she dodged the bears that were throwing themselves at her while attacking the one that was closest to her.
Shen Jingbin wasnât strong enough to one shot a bear just yet, so when her horsetail whisk struck down on it, the bear roared out in anger and became enraged.
"Every monster has its weak point. Take a moment to observe where the Snow Mountain Bearâs weak point is," Quiet And Steadfast said as he folded his arms and guided her from the side.
Upon hearing what he said, Shen Jingbin turned back to the enraged Snow Mountain Bear and gazed intently at it.
Thoroughly enraged, the Snow Mountain Bear shifted its stance and reared up on its hind legs, revealing its snow-white belly for all to see. When it did so, Shen Jingbinâs sharp eyes spotted a faint black line on the bearâs belly.
Was that its weak point? But it was on the bearâs belly; how did Quiet And Steadfast know where it was?
Shen Jingbin took a moment to cast a sidelong glance at Quiet And Steadfast before she mustered her strength and attacked the black line.
Critical hit!
It really was its weak point!
A look of joy surfaced on Shen Jingbinâs face, and she began focusing her attacks on the Snow Mountain Bearâs belly.
"You can summon Mascot to train it," Quiet and Steadfast suggested.
Shen Jingbin wasnât used to relying on the help of others; which was why even though she had a killing machine like Mascot, it was rarely used unless she was overwhelmed by numbers and could barely hold on. However, given the circumstances now...
She summoned Mascot without hesitation and switched him to combat mode.
She patted Mascotâs head and commanded, "Go Mascot! Finish each of them with a single swipe!"
"Roar!" Mascot raised its head and gave an oppressive howl to the heavens before it leapt towards the mass of Snow Mountain Bears and began its massacre. The Snow Mountain Bearsâ levels were nothing to write home about, so Mascot did as Shen Jingbin had commanded and took down each bear with a single swipe.
After Mascot began its attack, Shen Jingbin retreated to where Quiet And Steadfast was standing. As the two of them watched Mascotâs...solo performance, Quiet And Steadfast said, "I realise you donât like summoning Mascot when youâre hunting monsters or PKing, but to be honest, Mascot is a great help. You can even challenge the top tier players on the leaderboards with its help."
Shen Jingbin scratched her head. "Iâm still not very used to it. I keep forgetting that Mascot can be used in battles too."
"You donât seem to have any trouble remembering it when it comes to using it as a flying mount," Quiet And Steadfast said with a smile that failed to reach his eyes.
"... Thatâs because I canât fly on my own."
Quiet And Steadfast gave her a profound look and said, "Its strength is dependent on your level. Once itâs developed in the future, it can easily match up against an expert in the game. You have to work hard, so you donât let Mascot down."
At this moment, Mascot issued a very timely howl, causing black lines to appear on Shen Jingbinâs forehead.
You brat! Just whose pet are you?!
"Iâll help power level you as much as I can. As for your gear... I recall you saying your equipment can grow?"
"Mm, but I havenât been able to level it yet," She said helplessly. "Iâve tried going back to look for Bai Hua to ask him about it, but I wasnât able to find him. I couldnât find any information elsewhere either."
After a momentâs contemplation, Quiet And Steadfast said, "There are very few pieces of equipment in > that can level up, so itâs quite normal for people to not know about it. After all, a personâs treasure arouses the envy of others, and there are times when a personâs envy can be truly terrifying. Even if someone did manage to obtain a piece of growing equipment, they probably wouldnât say anything about it... How about this? Letâs go ask Hundred Daybreaks once weâre done here."
Heh heh. Hundred. Day. Breaks!
Shen Jingbinâs temper suddenly flared. "You can go on your own if you want, I never want to see her again."
Quiet And Steadfast choked. "Iâll have Next Week Is Unlikely ask instead."
Shen Jingbin gave him a look that said, "at least youâve got tact".
She definitely wouldâve given him the cold shoulder if he dared to go on his own!
