Chapter 23: I need to prepare to get some commoner-level divine pets.
…………
"Once Dimo reaches the Warrior level, my melee and air force setup will be fully complete. At that time, I should also consider going to the continent of Kalosia to capture a few more powerful new Pokémon to expand my team."
Thinking of this, Lin Ze immediately recalled the classic Pokémon from his previous life in the game "Roco Kingdom," which were considered top-tier early-game Pokémon and had extremely high combat power in the later stages.
For example, Vulcan!
As a fire-type main pet, Vulcan is synonymous with high damage output in the game. If you could capture it and combine it with the fire magic power from the world of Full-Time Magister, it would be an absolute mobile volcano!
When encountering a horde of demons, simply have the Fire God unleash a [Blazing Fire Technique] or [Air Slash] on them; the scene would be absolutely breathtaking.
Take Luo Yin for example!
This is the god of war for ordinary people in the hearts of countless Rockman players!
It possesses extremely abnormal physical defense and terrifying physical attack power. Its massive body, with both rock and ground attributes, is practically an indestructible wall of sighs.
If we can get Luo Yin out to be the front line as a tank, then Lin Ze, Dimo, and Lan Niao can unleash their full damage potential from behind without any worries.
"Vulcan, Luo Yin, Sonic Hound, Royal Griffin..."
Lin Ze became more and more excited, wishing he could immediately dive into the system space to catch a pet.
However, he quickly calmed down. One must eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. Thinking about those things now was too early; the most urgent task was to resolve the issue of awakening the second element.
In the world of Full-Time Magister, Awakening Stones are absolutely strategically controlled resources.
For ordinary people to awaken their powers, they either need to do so through a school-wide arrangement at the beginning of their first year of high school, or they need to spend a lot of money to buy awakening qualifications from the Magic Association.
Although Lin Ze now has some savings from hunting demons, he doesn't want to go through the tedious and attention-grabbing procedures at the Magic Association.
He has a better and faster channel.
Lin Ze took out his phone and skillfully dialed a number.
The phone rang a few times before Zhan Kong's signature voice, tinged with a hint of languor and ruggedness, came from the other end.
"Hey? It's the middle of the night, you better have something extremely important to say, or I'll throw you into a pack of wolves tomorrow!" The sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette could be faintly heard on the other end of the phone.
"Boss Zhan Kong, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?" Lin Ze smiled, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point," Zhan Kong said irritably.
"It's nothing serious." Lin Ze cleared his throat and dropped a bombshell in an extremely calm tone, "I just wanted to report to you that I accidentally... broke through to the intermediate level."
"Clatter."
On the other end of the phone, there seemed to be the sound of something falling to the ground, followed by a deathly silence that lasted for more than ten seconds.
"What...what did you say? Say it again?!"
A dozen seconds later, Zhan Kong's roar, which was almost deafening, exploded from the receiver, filled with unbelievable shock.
"I said, I've broken through to the intermediate level. The summoning stardust has turned into a nebula." Lin Ze held the phone a little further away and rubbed his ear.
Holy crap!!!
The dignified military intelligence officer of Bocheng, Zhan Kong, actually uttered a curse word without any regard for his image.
"You brat... what did you eat to grow up like this?! It's only been a few days since you took the Spirit Concentration Saliva from me? Three days! You shattered the mid-level barrier in just three days?! You're a monster!"
He couldn't help but be shocked by Zhan Kong's attack.
He had seen geniuses, and he had also seen the prodigies nurtured by the powerful families of the capital and the city with all their resources. But which of those people didn't carefully cultivate in seclusion for ten or fifteen days under the protection of their elders before daring to attempt to break through to the intermediate level?
And what about Lin Ze?
A high school student with no connections, took the resources, found a corner to hide in, and finished in three days? And judging from the kid's tone, he's full of energy and spirits, clearly not suffering any damage from the breakthrough backlash!
"Just lucky, just lucky," Lin Ze said with a modest smile.
"Damn your luck!" Zhan Kong cursed and panted on the other end of the phone, but his tone revealed an undisguised elation and admiration.
The fact that Bocheng could produce such a prodigy, and who was also half one of their own, was an absolutely fantastic thing for him, the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"Alright, I know you don't call unless you have something to say. So, what's with calling in the middle of the night? Is it about awakening your second element?" Zhan Kong was a smart man and immediately guessed Lin Ze's intentions.
"Boss Zhan Kong is brilliant!" Lin Ze immediately flattered him. "The Magic Association is too troublesome, and I don't want to be too high-profile. So I wanted to ask you, has the military arranged any awakening ceremonies recently? Could you give me a backdoor and arrange a better awakening stone?"
"You little rascal, I could hear your scheme all the way from the post station!"
Zhan Kong chuckled and cursed, then pondered for a moment before saying, "You're lucky, kid. These past few days, the military has a group of veterans who have distinguished themselves and are going to undergo initial awakening, and two officers are going to undergo intermediate-level second-system awakening. The ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow morning."
"Come find me at the Snow Peak Mountain Inn first thing tomorrow morning. I'll personally arrange the best quality guiding stone for you! Since your first element is summoning, your second element should ideally be an element with defense or mobility, which will greatly improve your survivability."
Zhan Kong, as expected of an experienced old mage, pointed out the attribute that Lin Ze needed most at the moment in just one sentence.
"Thank you so much, Boss Zhan Kong! I'll head over first thing tomorrow morning!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
To keep a low profile, Lin Ze did not choose to ride the cool Storm Bird. Instead, he returned it and Dimo to the contract space and took an early bus to the outskirts of Bo City.
Xuefeng Mountain Post Station, located on the edge of Bocheng's border, is the most important line of defense against demonic invasion. The city's most elite military mages are stationed here year-round, and the air is thick with a chilling, bloodthirsty atmosphere.
When Lin Ze presented the special pass given to him by Zhan Kong and entered the post station, he immediately attracted the attention of many military mages.
"Is this kid the summoning genius? He looks very young."
"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that the summoned beast under his command is incredibly ferocious; it specializes in grabbing the heads of demon wolves."
"What's he doing here today? Did he receive some important mission?"
Amidst the awe and curiosity of the crowd, Lin Ze walked straight to the command building in the center of the post station.
Zhan Kong was already waiting there. Today, he was unusually dressed in a crisp military uniform, which made him look less like his usual roguish soldier and more like the imposing presence of a military intelligence officer.
