Start With Contracting Sprites Novel - Chapter 274
Chapter 274: A New Storm Has Appeared
At the top of the mountain, in front of the Sky Lake, everything was in ruins.
Big Fat Bear slapped one sprite after another, slapping the Poker Bandits’ sprites who had yet to completely lose their battle power until they were half-dead, near-death, or on the brink of death.
Su Hao’s mind replayed the scene of the battle between Dumb Unicorn and Big Fat Bear just now. He was giving the two sprites… marks.
“After evolution, the battle power of the Dumb Unicorn increased sharply, but it has only developed a little now.”
Its advantage was that it had a wide range of water control and could easily raise thousands of waves. It was an expert in dealing with small fries.
In terms of energy battle, the Dumb Unicorn was no weaker than a spirit.
“Its flaw is that its point explosion is still weak, but this isn’t a big problem.”
The characteristic of Extreme Water had greatly enhanced the power of its unique skill, and could even cause “internal injuries” to the enemy. In the battle with the Fairy Snail, the advantage of “Extreme Cold” and “internal injuries” was not highlighted because the Fairy Snail was good at long-range attacks. When it defended, it also used water shields, bubble defense, and other energy levels.
But if it was used against sprites like the Giant Armored Crab or the Lava Dragon Turtle, the “Extreme Water” characteristic would be even more useful.
“If Dumb Unicorn continues to train, that move can become a real killer move. Hmm… but I still have to develop a more conventional killer move for it.”
Overall, Dumb Unicorn performance scored 60 points… out of 120 points.
As for Big Fat Bear, it didn’t know how to fly so it relied on “Thunder Command Flight”—using its LV3 thunder control ability and the binding characteristics of the Thunder Net, it developed the ability to let the lightning carry its body.
“But it’s still not quite mature yet. If the ‘Meat Bouncing Thunder Ball’ from just now could have kept flying, that Steel God Soldier wouldn’t have been able to escape at all.”
Su Hao came to a conclusion and turned to look at Big Fat Bear. “Go back and train more, your gaming time will now be halved.”
Big Fat Bear: “???”
It turned its head to look, and accidentally used too much force with its bear paw. With a bang, it slapped a sprite that was already half dead into the ground.
Smoke and dust rose from the top of the mountain, and the lake breeze was cold.
A dumb crow’s “Squawk” suddenly came from the contract, then… Boom ~!
A boom came from halfway up the mountain.
A few moments later…
A slightly bald Flaming Divine Hound carried two women to the top of the mountain.
The woman sitting in front was tall and had a charming appearance. Her dark red long hair fluttered in the wind, but her face seemed to reveal a bit of her shock. The woman kept stroking the big dog’s hair with her palm, as if she was comforting it.
The woman in the back seat looked gentler and more dignified. Her sitting posture on the big dog was also very virtuous.
Both of them were wearing battle uniforms that were probably from the Crime Bureau. The style of their uniforms looked a little higher-class than those of the team members and team leaders from the arrest team halfway up the mountain.
Two words surfaced in Su Hao’s mind—arrest officers.
It was a higher official position than the leader of the arrest team. Usually, they either operated solo or in a two-man group… As for battle power, they were definitely stronger than the leader of the arrest team. At the very least, they were a master-level official with some background.
At this moment…
The two arrest officers who arrived at the top of the mountain looked at the countless holes of various sizes, the charred black ground after the explosion, and the scattered gravel. They went from having slightly opened mouths to a moment of silence, and then to relief. The scene had shocked them for several seconds.
But just a while earlier, when they had just appeared, they were treated as enemies by that Flaming Spiritcrow. A flaming blade light suddenly slashed at them and brushed past the Flaming God Hound’s body.
Fortunately, after the leader of the arrest team shouted in time, the Flaming Spiritcrow finally stopped its second slash.
The female arrest officer who got off from the front seat looked at the only person standing on the mountain peak. She noticed he was a young man.
She walked forward with the most solemn attitude and stretched out her hand. “Hello, I’m the Union arrest officer # 1203 Xia…”
…
Time passed quickly, and the lake breeze was cold.
After verifying the identities of the two arrest officers, Su Hao slowly explained the situation. After a few exclamations such as “Ohhh”, “Ssss”, “Ah”, the arrest officers took out leather whips… Cough… took out ropes, headgear, and gloves specially designed to restrict Sprite Trainers, and locked the five members of the Poker Bandits and their sprites.
The woman standing on the left with long dark red hair, also the Sprite Trainer of the Flaming God Hound, was the Union arrest officer, Xia.
According to them, as arrest officers, they often fought with fierce criminals, so… they didn’t use their real names, but used code names.
“Xia” was the code name of the woman who looked fiercer. The code name of the other arrest officer was “Lin”. Her sprite wasn’t summoned, and when Xia asked about the situation, Lin took out a small notebook and recorded it seriously.
It was a little like asking for a statement.
At this point, a small underling who hadn’t been knocked too badly regained consciousness. When he saw Xia and Lin in the arrest officer uniform, he let out fierce words, “detestable Crime Bureau! Our boss…”
Bang!
Xia kicked him. The underling, whose protective screen had long been destroyed, had his face kicked towards his feet. He was kicked so hard that his neck was twisted at a strange angle, and one could vaguely hear the sound of bones dislocating.
It made people wonder if she had kicked that underling to death?
“Don’t worry.” Xia snorted and said, “I’m very experienced. I’ve already controlled the angle of strength. Sometimes my precision can be so good that it can even resuscitate Lin’s sprites… Isn’t that right, Lin?”
The arrest officer named Lin didn’t want to speak and covered her face with her hand.
After Xia counted the number of people, she said some words of thanks, as well as things like how to receive the reward.
“The underlings of the Poker Bandits aren’t that valuable. They were each worth a bounty of 500,000 yuan. Red Spade Q has committed many crimes. Currently, her bounty hanging in the Crime Bureau is 35,000,000 yuan, but the most valuable one is still Black Spade K. That guy was behind many of our big cases, and he’s very cunning!”
The arrest officer Xia snorted, as if Black Spade K had escaped from her hands many times.
Su Hao asked, “How much is Black Spade K’s bounty?”
“The reward is 75,000,000 yuan,” said the arrest officer Xia. “If you can provide effective clues, there will also be a reward from 100 up to 10,000,000 yuan… Eh, right! Black Spade K just escaped not long ago, why don’t we use all the sprites to search, maybe we can find…”
“Didn’t I mention that this K person has already been caught?”
Su Hap said.
Xia’s face was puzzled.
Lin drew a question mark on her little notebook and turned it around.
Ten minutes later, the Dazed crow delivered the package. The deeply asleep Black Spade K was thrown onto the ground. His handsome face was immediately ruined as his face hit the ground.
Su Hao nodded and praised Crow in the contract. Crow flew away happily “Squawk”.
Arrest officers Xia and Lin looked at their old acquaintance and fell into deep thought.
Did their branch… have enough funding?
…
After such a big event happened, Old Qian’s research team naturally didn’t continue to stay.
It was impossible to research anymore. On the same day, they set off for White Cloud City.
After Su Hao sent them off and successfully completed the first mission of his career, he prepared to return to Dragon Nation.
“This trip was very perfect. Not only did the Dumb Unicorn successfully evolve, he had even earned a small sum of 100 million yuan.”
The 100 million bounty reward might have been worth 100 million, but it could be exchanged for various mid- and high-level resources.
And thus in a sense, it was worth 200 million yuan.
He didn’t expect it to be so easy to earn money.
He suddenly had a thought…
Why not debut as a bounty hunter?
“No, no.”
“Today, it’s just that the Poker Bandits delivered themselves to my doorstep. Otherwise, how can I earn 200 million yuan in a few days?
“Besides, fighting and killing is too dangerous. It’s better to follow the original plan and write research papers and develop some profitable goods. It’s safer and simpler to be a black-hearted boss.”
After he was examined, he took a step out with a few sprites.
The next moment, when he looked up again, he was already surrounded by cold metal walls, a completely sealed ceiling, and vaguely visible cannon muzzles pointing towards the exit.
It also signified that he had already returned to Dragon Nation.
On the throne above his head, the first thing Butterfly did was… take out its cell phone and activate its mobile data.
The envious Big Fat Bear made a few “sob” sounds.
At the same time…
Buzz!
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
The Sprite Commandeering wristband kept vibrating, and many missed calls appeared on his cell phone.
There was Mentor Ma, Senior Wu, Senior Jiang…
It was a little rushed.
Stunned, he looked around. The soldiers stationed at the base were still chatting and laughing, without any tension.
His heart was much more at ease. With a light tap of his finger, he opened the unread email.
