Chapter 55: Chapter 55
Chapter 55: War Caused by Pets!
“I heard that Han Gongque just caught a pet with an excellence rating of 57—it’s an elite-grade pet.”
“Wow, no way. Is it really elite-grade? Any pet log screenshot?”
“Apparently even Fenghuo Xizhuhou only has a common-grade pet with an excellence of 49, and it’s already a massive powerhouse—nearly doubles the output.”
“Han Gongque really lives up to his name as the Mage God of China. Even a 57-excellence elite monster can be sealed—his luck is off the charts!”
“Right now, Level-1 monsters are super rare, and each can only be sealed ten times. After that, they level up. Once they hit Level 2, they can’t be sealed anymore.”
“Yeah, what a screwed-up mechanic. Just two hours ago, I watched a Backflower Toad I raised go from Level 1 to Level 2… it broke my heart.”
Currently, there are three ways for players to improve their strength: leveling up, gear, and pets.
Most players are stuck in the grind, unable to level up, and struggling to find usable gear. So many are turning their hopes to pets.
That’s why pet discussions have been trending lately.
Just then, a player’s message caught everyone’s attention.
“Holy sh*t! Damn near pissed myself! I was just casually scrolling through the forum and saw a post that scared the crap out of me—someone got a golden BOSS-grade pet!”
Players immediately rushed to check the game forum.
Besides the already trending posts, they soon noticed a new rising star.
Title: [My Name is Xiao Rongyan. I Heard Someone Claimed to Be the Strongest Pet on the Server.]
[Lava King — Xiao Rongyan]
[Body of Lava]: Activates the lava energy within, boosting defense resistance by 50% and granting 70% magic immunity for 15 seconds. Mana Cost: 20, Cooldown: 60 seconds.
[Lava Shield]: Grants a shield equal to 30% of max HP for 60 seconds. Mana Cost: 100, Cooldown: 120 seconds.
Description: A Lava King born from the intelligent core of a special spiritual stone known as the [Heart of Lava]. Possesses immense power.
The post had no extra fluff—just one pet log screenshot. But that alone was enough to drive players into a frenzy…
Most players didn’t even have pets. Only a few guild leaders had low-grade common pets. And now a golden BOSS-grade pet had appeared?
“WTF?! Someone tell me this is Photoshopped!”
“Did I read that right? 18k HP, 360 ATK, 450 DEF—my full-tank shield warrior doesn’t even have a third of that HP!”
“Insane stats, it’s basically an iron fortress!”
“450 DEF plus 50% boost? Who the hell can even scratch that?! And it’s only Lv18—this is totally breaking game balance…”
“Is a golden-grade BOSS pet with 82 excellence really this terrifying?!”
“No lie, compared to Lava King, all other pets are complete trash.”
“Man’s walking around with a golden BOSS as a personal bodyguard…”
Players went completely hysterical, flooding the post with comments.
Soon after, one player pointed out something even more shocking:
[Owner: Lone Ranger]!
The moment everyone saw that, all suspicions of Photoshop instantly vanished.
“Sh*t, the owner’s Lone Ranger? That seals it—this thing’s 100% real. Total beast!”
“No more doubts. Anyone still questioning this deserves to eat sh*t.”
“Damn right. If this isn’t real, I’ll livestream myself eating poop. Room ID: 62527.”
“Respect to that dude. I’ll throw you a nuclear gift!”
“If this pet went on sale, it’d be worth at least a few million, right?”
“Stop lowballing it. For a pet ? Less than 100 million and I’ll write my name backwards.”
Then, something special happened on the forum.
Every pet bragging post from various guilds suddenly had one identical comment spammed beneath it—players copying and pasting the same link and tagging the original poster.
Faced with the mass tagging, the major guild leaders had no choice but to respond, all leaving cheeky comments under Lone Ranger’s post.
“[Canglan Guild] (Little Bristle Deer) bows to the strongest.”
“[Red Veil Guild] (Long-tailed Cat) bows to the strongest.”
“[Hero’s Tomb Guild] (Murder Wasp) bows to the strongest.”
Conceding defeat without losing face—handled beautifully.
While China players were mostly here for the spectacle, the top guild leaders felt nothing but bitterness—especially ‘Mage God’ Han Gongque.
One glance at the Lava King’s pet log, another at the stats of his newly captured elite monster…
And it wasn’t just domestic players—international players who saw the reposted thread were just as stunned.
“Oh no, how can such a pet exist?”
“Oh my god, this is insane. Chinese players are unbelievable.”
“WTF?! Where did this golden-grade pet even come from?!”
“Sheesh! What on earth did the China server do?”
“Dammit, our top player only has a 55-excellence elite pet…”
“Long live China! You’ve always been our best friends—please get even stronger!”
“Is China about to dominate the world now?”
Meanwhile, another hot post was rising on the forum:
“[Lone Ranger], sell the pet to the Chaoge Guild. I’ll offer 100 million Yuan, and we’ll write off everything between us.”
—From Chaoge Guild Leader, Zhou Wang.
Onlookers went wild again. 100 million Yuan?! That’s enough to live lavishly in a Level-3 Safe Zone for life.
If Lone Ranger said yes, that money would be in his pocket immediately—pure profit.
Most players assumed he’d agree, especially since he’d already listed the Guild Order for auction.
Other guild leaders panicked when they saw the offer, afraid he’d take the deal—so one by one, they began bidding.
A Jug of Turbid Wine: “Brother Lone Ranger, no small talk—110 million for your golden pet. Contact me anytime, price negotiable.”
Han Gongque: “130 million!”
Sorrowful Breeze: “150 million. We support any transaction method—safe and secure.”
The guild leaders were in an all-out bidding war on the forum. Meanwhile, the man at the center of the storm?
Fast asleep in his bed.
