n59 Pig King!

nAfter Hong Zhijun left, Lin Ye thought of the four dead Ironback Pigs and asked the system in his mind.

n“System, what should we do after the beast dies?”

nAfter the beast dies, it will revive a month later. However, other than the contract relationship with the Beast Tamer remaining unchanged, its level and memories will return to their original state.

nLin Ye nodded in understanding.

nWas this a punishment similar to in-game?

nThe kind that would lose levels and “amnesia”?

nThe punishment was quite serious.

nFamiliars like the Ironback Pig were fine.

nIf Blackie died, wouldn’t he have to teach this guy how to eat, drink, and poop again?

nMoreover, the higher the quality of the beast, the more serious the punishment for dying once.

nAfter all, Blackie had spent millions of credits to advance from Advanced Class 1 to Beginner Class 2.

nIf he waited until it reached a higher level, wouldn’t the loss of dying once be hundreds of millions?

nFortunately, the system had also said that the index could have a healing effect.

n“Speaking of which, how’s the healing ability of the index? Can it be healed no matter how serious the injuries are?”

nNo, the index can only heal ordinary injuries. If the injuries are too serious, the index can only ensure that the beast won’t die immediately when it’s seriously injured and on the verge of death. The healing still needs a Beast Tamer.

n“Then how many beasts can Beast Tamers have?”

nThree

n“What about me? Are there any restrictions?”

nYes, the host can only have nine beasts at most. At the current stage, you can still have one more. You can only obtain the qualifications to have three more beasts after all three beasts undergo their first evolution.

n“Wait, don’t I already have three?”

nThe Fire Phoenix is a guardian divine beast of the dojo and does not occupy a spot. Therefore, strictly speaking, every time a dojo is built, the host can be considered to have a beast.

nLin Ye was speechless.

nCould it be calculated like this?

nIn the future, if he built dojos all over the planet, how many beasts would he have?

nDon’t worry, Host. From the information on the Internet, there are at most a thousand cities on the current planet. There’s no official news about the gathering place. It needs to be calculated separately.

nLin Ye: “…”

nAlright ~

n“By the way, when will the other Beast Tamers open up new beast slots?”

nAfter the host completes this stage of the mission.

nLin Ye shrugged.

nAlright, these rules could not restrict him anyway.

nAt the same time, outside the dojo.

nWhile Hong Zhijun was waiting for his troops to arrive, he wandered around the empty space outside the dojo.

nThe first thing he liked was not the Golden-Scaled Tiger King that could blind people, but the large Ironback Pig beside Bei Yun that was twice the size of an ordinary Ironback Pig.

nBecause he had fought side by side with the Ironback Pig before, Hong Zhijun felt especially close to this beast.

n“Young man, do you have any good places to go after graduation?”

n“Do you want to come to the army to make a contribution?!”

nBei Yun looked at the burly man in front of him in strange clothes and shook his head warily.

n“I haven’t considered this for the time being.”

nHong Zhijun looked at the Ironback Pig King beside Bei Yun, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes.

n“I heard from your classmates that your beast is the Ironback Pig King?”

n“Yes, why?”

nHong Zhijun smiled at Bei Yun in embarrassment and asked,

n“Well, what’s different about it? Compared to ordinary Ironback Pigs.”

nSeeing Bei Yun look at him warily, Hong Zhijun revealed his identity.

nHe took out his communicator and called up his officer certificate.

n“Look, I’m really not a bad person.”

n“Moreover, I also have a beast.”

nFollowing the direction Hong Zhijun was pointing, Bei Yun saw the rather inconspicuous white butterfly lying beside his collar.

n“Is… is this a beast?”

nSeeing Bei Yun so surprised, Hong Zhijun nodded rather proudly.

n“Yes, I was the first batch of people to buy beasts from Shop Owner Lin.”

n“Boss Lin?”

n“Oh, it’s the Hall Master Lin you refer to him by. He previously opened a pet shop.”

nHearing Hong Zhijun say this, Bei Yun’s vigilance was greatly lowered.

nOut of curiosity, Bei Yun even used the index to search for the white butterfly on Hong Zhijun’s shoulder.

nThen, he was surprised by the information displayed on the index.

n“This butterfly is also a purple beast?!”

nSeeing Bei Yun in a daze at the thing on his wrist, Hong Zhijun remembered that he had forgotten to ask Lin Ye what this thing was.

nYes, he would ask later.

n“How is it? Can we talk about your Pig King?”

nBei Yun nodded.

n“Sure, go ahead, Officer Hong.”

n“Yes, I won’t ask you about your privacy. I’m just a little curious. Can this Pig King… command other Ironback Pigs?”

nAfter Hong Zhijun asked this question, he stared at Bei Yun with wide eyes.

nHe recalled the wolf howl that commanded the wolves in the morning.

nIf he could gather an army of Ironback Pigs, wouldn’t he be able to advance a long distance with the “Iron Wall” skills of these guys and the especially abnormal defense on their backs?

nPreviously, the four Ironback Pigs could still last for a few minutes under the siege of so many blood wolves.

nIf he could have Ironback Pigs like the Blood Wolf, no, as long as he had half or even a quarter of them and could listen to orders, he could even fight the beast tide he encountered today.

nOtherwise, every time the army wanted to explore a further area outside the city, they would always have to sacrifice their lives.

nHowever, mutants were a minority in the first place. When ordinary soldiers faced a beast tide, once they were approached, they would basically die.

nFaced with such high losses, humans had no choice but to postpone the exploration outside the city.

nWhen Bei Yun heard Hong Zhijun ask this, he was stunned himself.

n“Huh?”

n“I-I don’t know either!”

n“To be honest, the Ironback Pig King has a skill that can order other Ironback Pigs to charge.”

n“However, I really don’t know if I can give orders.

nHearing Bei Yun say this, Hong Zhijun immediately looked at him with shining eyes.

n“Come, let’s give it a try!”

nBei Yun thought for a moment and simply nodded.

nHe also wanted to know if his Pig King was indeed the king.

nWith his Ironback Pig King, Bei Yun found a few other students whose beasts were Ironback Pigs.

nAfter Bei Yun explained his request, the few of them did not refuse.

nThey were also very curious if there was any relationship between the Ironback Pig and the Ironback Pig King.

n“Pig King, go over and try. Let them follow you there.”

nBei Yun pointed at the spot beside Hong Zhijun and said to his Ironback Pig King.

n“Hmph ~”

nThe Pig King snorted twice and then walked in front of an Ironback Pig.

nThe noses of the two pigs, one big and one small, touched each other.

n“Hmph ~”

n“Hmph!”

nAfter exchanging “signals”, the Ironback Pig really followed the Pig King to Hong Zhijun’s side.

n“Damn! It actually works?”
