Chapter 742 - 234: So You Were Raised by Xiao Li? _3
In the game, Xiao Li also liked to keep pets.
And to cater to her interests, Mr. Tian had even given her a fish to raise for fun.
That fish was the Swallow Fish, which could be caught in Newbie Village.
It embodied the type of fish craved by a truly dominant being, symbolizing supremacy over all. Catching this fish in the game would bestow Qi Fortune upon its caretaker.
If the protagonist managed to catch this fish at the start in Newbie Village, he would receive a Qi Fortune BUFF. This would make his journey on the Overlord path much smoother and could even allow him to achieve the perfect Overlord ending.
These fish all possessed special abilities.
Once one left Newbie Village, they could no longer be caught.
Only much later, once the main world map unlocked, could players return to Newbie Village to fish for these specific species.
After the Ancient River campaign, by secretly assuming Mr. Tian’s identity and following the Dynasty path, one could go to Newbie Village. There, they could catch such a fish to gift to Xiao Li, adding a bit to her Qi Fortune.
And this kind of fish, being inherently domineering, suited Xiao Li’s taste perfectly; she had raised it diligently.
By raising fish, one nourishes their Qi—Xiao Li’s Qi Fortune was impressive, and perhaps after the great changes in heaven and earth, this fortune was somehow connected to her fish-raising.
This gift was also one of Xiao Li’s most cherished...
Wang Mu, for his part, had a rather clear memory of this.
Now, as he listened to the Immortal Cloud Kun mention it, he immediately grew puzzled...
If this Immortal Cloud Kun really was Xiao Li’s pet... then its status was not ordinary.
But... if that truly was the case, why did she only visit once a year?
Was it... completely neglected?
And had she allowed it to sneak down to the Lower Realm?
Wang Mu mulled it over and decided to ask Mr. Lee.
[Wang Mu: Mr. Lee?]
[Mr. Lee: I’m here. What is it?]
[Wang Mu: I’ve found the Immortal Cloud Kun. Do I need to capture it in the Demon Capturing Bottle too?]
[Mr. Lee: You found it that fast?]
There was a pause.
[Mr. Lee: No need. That Immortal Beast has a kind heart. It doesn’t need to be put into the Demon Capturing Bottle. Just bind it with the Demon Binding Rope. I will send someone down later to retrieve it. The Demon Capturing Bottle has a significant impact on Immortal Beasts.]
It seemed the Upper Realm was quite lenient with this Immortal Cloud Kun that had smuggled itself down, Wang Mu thought. In that case, it was indeed very likely Xiao Li’s pet.
Wang Mu pondered for a moment and decided to probe further.
[Wang Mu: But it’s about to die.]
[Mr. Lee: What? It might die? Who would dare!!]
Mr. Lee’s emotional shift was plain to see.
This indicated that the Upper Realm truly valued this Immortal Cloud Kun.
[Wang Mu: It’s starving. There’s nothing for it to eat in the Lower Realm.]
[Mr. Lee: ...]
[Mr. Lee: Quickly find some Spirit Fish from the waters of the Lower Realm for it. It must not die! Going hungry for a while is one thing, but death is absolutely out of the question.]
[Wang Mu: Okay.]
[Mr. Lee: This Immortal Beast... take good care of it.]
From Mr. Lee’s tone, Wang Mu was certain it was Xiao Li’s pet.
Although it wasn’t cared for as meticulously as the Swallow Fish back then, it was still something she had personally raised. Even if one merely kept a fish in a pond, they certainly wouldn’t let it die.
[Wang Mu: I will do my best...]
Wang Mu hung up the Divine Light Mirror. His gaze toward the Immortal Cloud Kun changed instantly.
He’d thought it was a wild creature, but it turned out to have an owner...
"That’s right! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten!" the Immortal Cloud Kun exclaimed. "That Immortal gave me a name after I became self-aware. Although she rarely visits and never brings me food, I still remember the name."
"You have a name? Isn’t Immortal Cloud Kun already a name?"
"Immortal Cloud Kun is my species!" yelled the Immortal Cloud Kun. "It’s not a name! I have a name! Although I don’t like her as an owner, at least she was the one who gave me my name!"
"What’s your name?"
"My name is Tuntun!"
