MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 442: Completing the Trial
“System: Player Prairie Fire has completed the second stage of the Beast God trial, with an excellent evaluation from the Beast God, scoring 9.8 out of 10, which is exceptionally good. Besides being able to summon two boss-level battle pets, the personal pet carry capacity has increased by 1.”

Hearing this reward, Li Yao was quite happy. No matter what kind of Hunter one was, in the beginning, there were only five pet slots. For other talent Hunters, it’s not a big deal, since regardless of how many they carry, they can only summon one or two to fight, which is perfectly enough.

But for the Beastmaster Hunter, it’s completely different. As the level and strength increase, five pet slots start to become insufficient. And pet slot quests are extremely rare, and there are not many items to increase pet slot position, this is the bottleneck for Beastmaster Hunters.

Unlike summoners and necromancers who easily expand their pet positions, expanding a pet slot position might not be useful right now, but sooner or later, it could play a huge role.

This is also the main reason why Li Yao wanted to achieve a high score.

With a flash of light, Li Yao was transported out.

Eileen said, “You did well. You now have fifteen minutes to rest. Of course, if you want to participate in the next stage of the trial.”

“I accept the third stage of trial.” Li Yao said and then sat directly on the ground. He didn’t have much to say to those bigshots, and it was more appropriate not to say anything and pretend to be tired.

The Chieftain accepted a parchment scroll from the Angel, laughing, he said, “As per rules, this turf now belongs to us. You wouldn’t back down on your word, right?”

“I always stand by my word, I naturally wouldn’t renege. I openly admit defeat in this round.” The King said feeling somewhat chagrin.

The Light Faction’s big shots were not pleased either. Nobody expected that Li Yao, a novice, could complete the second phase trial so perfectly. Such an evaluation, even if they were to retry, might not be able to match it, hence they lost as if they’d seen a ghost.

The Chief, however, was very high-spirited, “So, do you want to keep betting?”

The King said, “On what? You praised my good eye before. This youngster didn’t use his full strength in the second stage trial. Besides, haven’t you forgotten about the Battle Royale? Initially, I knew his spiritual power was strong. But I didn’t believe that a novice could have such formidable micro-control. If I bet again, I’d be a fool.”

“What a pity.”

Bigshots from the Dark Camp shook their heads in regret. However, they knew the ultimate dispute still required other means.

The Queen laughed, “How about we switch to betting on someone else? You guys find a novice from your side, the same betting system, sounds good?”

“Ahem, forget it. Disturbing a novice’s trial repeatedly, it’s not very nice. Let’s just leave it at that, shall we? Time to go back.” The King left immediately. The other big shots of the Light Faction followed suit, leaving without picking up the Queen’s line.

“If he could have accepted this proposal, it would have been strange. Locating another novice like Prairie Fire among this batch is probably impossible.” The Angel also opened a portal and returned to their meeting hall.

The powerhouses of the Dark Camp left with satisfaction. They had won a round this time, and their mood was very good. The looks they gave Li Yao became kinder.

However, at this stage, except for the Queen, the goodwill of others was of little use. Only the Chief had made a promise, but it was uncertain when it could come into effect.

Notwithstanding, the Chief was an upright person, and he would not treat a promise lightly.

The last one to leave, the Queen spoke indifferently, “The later you use the Chieftain’s promise, the better.”

After speaking, the Queen also entered the portal and the Trial Ground returned to its original state.

Eileen enviously said, “The general really cares a lot about you. You should remember the general’s words, he won’t harm you.”

“I understand.” Li Yao forced a smile, this Eileen was a diehard fan of the Queen.

However, what the Queen said was indeed right. Li Yao wouldn’t stupidly ask for the Chief’s promise now.

When he has power and influence in the future, and when needed, it can play an unimaginable role.

“I’m ready, let’s start the third phase of the trial.” Li Yao stood up and said.

“Alright, with the strength you demonstrated earlier, I won’t say much. Good luck.” Eileen said and transported Li Yao in.

The third phase of the trial was similar to the second, except that the moving straw men became three at once, and their moving trajectory became variable, appearing more elusive.

The other side had changed to controlling three creatures to confront a powerful boss.

But this was child’s play for Li Yao. Controlling a single beast, to achieve a top-grade evaluation required a deep understanding of the beast being controlled. Especially when trying to win against an overpowering beast, the difficulty was even greater.

However, controlling two, three, or even more creatures, is a burden for those with weak spiritual power. But for someone like Li Yao who has unconventional spiritual power, he was more relaxed and comfortable.

The reason was simple, after understanding the characteristics and skills of the controlled creatures, multiple creatures cooperating would make it easier to defeat opponents of a higher class.

In the third phase, Li Yao was still controlling the Silver Hero, but faced a powerful mid-level boss. Still, he passed the phase flawlessly without a hanger.

It was similar to a player with health less than a regular monster, forming a team to kill the boss, overcoming strong opponents through cooperation.

When Li Yao returned to Eileen, the system prompt appeared again. Besides being able to summon three bosses to fight, he also received a pet slot position reward.

The pet summoning positions of a Beastmaster Hunter are different from a Necromancer or a Summoner. As long as these two classes have the summoning positions, they can summon that many pets.

But for the Beastmaster Hunter, it’s different. In addition to needing summoning positions, they also require pet slot positions. These so-called pet slots are actually a summoning channel that can also temporarily house pets.

Up until now, Li Yao had seven pet slots, but he could only summon three pets.

“Prairie Fire, you have flawlessly completed the toughest trials within the second level, an event that hasn’t happened in many years. It’s truly a miracle.” Eileen looked at Li Yao, very happy. The general finally had a successor, and my High Elves are bound to give birth to a great hero in the future.”

“It’s a pity that I can’t continue to challenge.” Li Yao still felt somewhat unsatisfied. He had more than three good pets.

“These are the rules set by the Beast God. To try a higher challenge, wait till you reach the third level.” Eileen consoled. She had seen that Li Yao still had spare energy.

“Alright, I’ll bother my mentor when I reach level thirty.” Li Yao gathered his emotions and said, “In that case, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Okay, keep enhancing your strength.” Eileen herself disappeared through teleportation, and Li Yao used the Hearthstone.

Upon returning to Undercity, Li Yao forcefully held back the urge to try out his multiple pets and entered his lab…
