Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 49 - 24: Interrogating Xue Sifeng

Chapter 49: Chapter 24: Interrogating Xue Sifeng
It’s a pearl shell with a one-star three-point bearing, capable of spawning a large number of pearls. The prerequisite is that the Beast Taming Space has a water area, so it requires carrying a strange object that can generate a water domain.
This was not the strange object he wanted.
"Not on the right, is it on the left? Left side, ninth row, fifth column, top shelf."
A brown-black, square soil block.
Li Cunxu was secretly delighted, having found it, he calmly put it away, though a bit nervous as he took it, his hands trembling slightly.
"Heavier than other medicinal soil blocks, indeed, it’s the one."
[Strange Object·Medicinal Soil Block]
[Quality: One Star]
[Bearing Point: 1]
[Introduction: Embed it in the Beast Taming Space, and it can spawn soil suitable for herb growth.]
The larger a medicinal soil block is, the higher its quality.
Yet, this particular medicinal soil block’s quality was very poor, not even as large as a fist.
The relationship between strange object quality and bearing points:
One-star, bearing points: 1~3.
Two-star, bearing points: 4~6.
Three-star, bearing points: 7~9.
...
Nine-star, bearing points: 25~27
The quality improves by one star for every three points exceeding a tier.
A one-star, one-point bear is poor among one-star strange objects.
A one-star, two-point bear is average among one-star strange objects.
A one-star, three-point bear is excellent among one-star strange objects.
This medicinal soil block, with one-star and one-point bear, would generally only be chosen by beast masters who don’t have many bearing points.
Li Cunxu chose it not for its bearing qualities but for the strange object it contained within.
The Keystone Die.
This strange object is peculiar, a true treasure among strange objects, a divine artifact among weapons, an imperial tool among props.
It’s a nine-star strange object.
However, it only requires one bearing point, though with a limitation, that the beast master cannot embed any other strange objects prior, otherwise it cannot be embedded.
Its function is to reduce the bearing load of other strange objects.
For example, if Li Cunxu has already embedded the Keystone Die and wants to embed the two-point Dragon Blood Gem (Red Dragon), the Keystone Die rolls between 1 to 6 points. If it rolls 2 points,
then 2-2=0.
The Dragon Blood Gem (Red Dragon) can be embedded without using any bearing points.
The Keystone Die can reduce at most six points, at least one point, and the higher the quality of strange objects, the higher the rolled number, conversely, the lower the quality, the lower the rolled number.
With the Keystone Die, it means saving many bearing points, allowing for more strange objects to be installed.
There’s a "bug" with the Keystone Die: Each roll guarantees at least one point reduction, so for any one-star, one-point strange object, it effectively reduces to zero bearing points, meaning infinite possibilities to embed one-star, one-point strange objects in the Beast Taming Space.
In a previous life, a certain player was lucky enough to acquire the Keystone Die and shared the ability and acquisition method, envying a group of players, including Li Cunxu.
Thus, Li Cunxu remembered this Keystone Die very well.
Later, when the game’s 10.0 version was updated, introducing items that could destroy players’ bearing strange objects, that player was hunted across the internet, hiding for three months before finally logging in again and having the Keystone Die ambushed and destroyed by guild members lying in wait.
But too many people wanted the Keystone Die, and the top ten super guilds all joined the fray, with non-guild players joining in for the fun, sparking a server-wide seven-day struggle, with millions of players involved, including Li Cunxu.
For this, Li Cunxu dropped seven levels.
The one who finally got the Keystone Die was the president of the seventh-ranking super guild, Dynasty Guild.
This president used an item to bind it so it wouldn’t drop, thus holding onto the Keystone Die.
However, inciting public anger, the Dynasty Guild was targeted and fell out of the top ten super guild rankings, and the president himself was also zeroed out by others.
However, the president later became stronger thanks to the Keystone Die, leading the guild into the top three guild rankings.
With the Keystone Die in hand, Li Cunxu had no reason to stay and hurriedly returned to the pasture.
He crushed the medicinal soil block, revealing the black cube of the Keystone Die, eagerly embedded it, and put the shattered medicinal soil block into a bottle.
The damaged medicinal soil block couldn’t be used, but with inferior Water of Rebirth, it could be repaired.
The embedding went smoothly, without any anomalies occurring during the process, appearing quite unremarkable.
[Player: Li Cunxu]
[Level: Black Iron]
[Talent: Fertile Pasture (Blue), Divine Endowment (Unique)]
[Pet: Water Slime (Xiaoruan)]
[Shared Skill: Water Ball]
[Bearing Points: 9]
[Strange Object: Keystone Die]
"I wish I could try the Keystone Die, unfortunately, there’s no strange object on hand."
Having completed recent goals, Li Cunxu finally had time to deal with the culprit responsible for the original body’s death.
Li Cunxu took out Xue Sifeng’s remaining head from the safe.
Xue Sifeng cursed angrily, "You actually use filthy rat blood to maintain my life, you scum, scum..."
The vitality of blood cultists was tenacious; as long as active blood was provided, they could maintain life even with only a head.
But blood cultists didn’t absorb just any blood, for instance, the blood of filthy rats.
The blood of filthy rats was extremely foul-smelling, intolerable even for blood cultists. Forcing them to absorb such blood was worse than forcing gold juice down their throats.
"Ugh~ Stay away when you speak, the smell of filthy rat lingers in your breath,"
Li Cunxu said with distaste, stepping back a few paces without trying to hide it, making Xue Sifeng even more furious, almost grinding his posterior teeth into pieces.
"You caused this! You caused this! How dare you speak."
"What do you mean I caused it? You clearly caused yourself to ingest filthy rat blood. I warned you if you didn’t comply, I’d throw you into the latrine pit. I’m a man of my word, I do what I say."
"Ingesting filthy rat blood, I’d rather be thrown into a latrine pit!"
"How was I to know? The internet says absorbing filthy rat blood is akin to being thrown into a latrine pit. Enough, stop fussing over irrelevant trivialities. It’s injection time."
Trivialities? Xue Sifeng’s forehead throbbed with blue veins, glowering as if he could tear Li Cunxu limb from limb.
Xue Sifeng didn’t have a stomach, unable to use one to absorb Honest Water, so Li Cunxu filled a syringe with Honest Water and injected it into Xue Sifeng’s veins.
"Regarding secrets about my sister, did you tell anyone else?"
"No."
Li Cunxu breathed a sigh of relief; it was good no one else knew, as he had been worried others might know, causing endless trouble.
"How did you discover my sister’s secret?"
"Your neighbor was an undercover for the Blood God Sect; I was his superior. Once, when I was contacting him, I entered the wrong house and ended up in your room, realizing then that your sister contained the strength of the Blood God and three other gods."
"How did you harm me?"
"I controlled the blood to stop your heart from beating. Strangely, I confirmed you were dead before I left, so how are you alive again?"
Explain to him I transmigrated and revived, exposing my biggest secret?
Besides, blood cultists can be revived after death.
Blood cultists, after death, could be revived in the Crimson Blood God’s Divine Kingdom, but it took more than twenty years.
Even if there wasn’t a resurrection by the Crimson Blood God’s Divine Kingdom, Li Cunxu wouldn’t say.
He’s watched enough TV and read enough novels to know that villains die from talking too much.
