Chapter 2 Dimo drained Lin Ze's... magical energy.
…………
"Dimo! Use 100,000 volts... Oops, wrong channel!"
In the dimly lit bungalow, Lin Ze looked at Dimo, who had rolled over on his lap, revealing his soft little belly and letting out a burp, and couldn't help but cover his face.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
Despite being adorned with the dazzling aura of a light-type divine pet, Dimo, which has just hatched, is still just a newborn baby.
Forget about going out into the wild to wreak havoc, kicking one-eyed demon wolves, or punching bone-spiky wolves; this little guy can't even conjure a tiny flame now. His greatest pleasure every day is chasing and biting his own glowing tail, and... frantically draining Lin Ze's magical energy.
"System, isn't this false advertising? What happened to the divine pet? This is clearly a money-devouring beast and a cuteness machine!" Lin Ze complained in his mind while resignedly closing his eyes and entering the mental world.
[Ding! Host, please note that any powerful creature needs a growth process. Your summoning abilities are the best nourishment for your pet. Please cultivate diligently and do not make excuses for your laziness.]
"I'm lazy? Go ask around at Tianlan Magic High School, is there anyone more lazy than me in the summoning department? Oh, I forgot, I'm the only summoning department in the whole school."
Lin Ze pursed his lips, stopped arguing with the system, and focused his attention on his own mental world.
There, a patch of transparent, summoning-type stardust floated silently. Inside the stardust, seven star particles, like mischievous little sprites, darted about haphazardly.
In the center of this stardust, a faint golden thread connects Dimo, who is fast asleep on his lap in the real world.
Lin Ze's current training focuses more on using his summoning magic to nurture Dimo, promoting its growth and development, while also practicing his control over star trails so that he can instantly summon or recall Dimo in battle.
"Mo Fan is cheating every day since the Little Mudfish Pendant became usable, while I have to grind on my own. Sigh, the joys and sorrows of transmigrators are not shared; I just find them noisy."
Lin Ze sighed, composed himself, and began his usual monotonous meditation. He carefully guided the magical energy along the golden connecting line towards Dimo. Outside, Dimo, in his sleep, seemed to sense this warm power, letting out a comfortable hum. The blue fur on his body seemed to become even softer, and the golden V-shaped mark on his chest shimmered faintly.
…………
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed quietly.
For the past six months, Lin Ze has maintained a low-key persona at school, saying that although he has awakened an awesome summoning ability, he is just a useless person who can't even control the stars.
In every practical lesson, he would pretend to be deep in thought, sweating profusely but unable to grasp even a single star, which made his homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, sigh repeatedly, and also helped those classmates who were originally jealous of his awakened summoning ability to regain their psychological balance.
Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou often came to visit him, and Mo Fan would secretly show off his progress in controlling lightning in front of him.
However, Lin Ze didn't expose Mo Fan. They were all transmigrators; everyone has their secrets, right?
The real highlight was in Lin Ze's secluded little house.
"Dimo, the ball of light!"
In the backyard, Lin Ze gave an order.
"Dimo!"
Dimo, who had been lying on the ground feigning sleep, suddenly opened its eyes, a sharp glint in them. It nimbly leaped into the air, and in mid-air, the surrounding light elements seemed to be strongly summoned, frantically converging towards it. In the blink of an eye, a fist-sized energy ball radiating blinding white light condensed and took shape in front of it.
"go!"
With a flick of Dimo's little paw, the ball of light, like a cannonball, accurately struck an abandoned stone pillar ten meters away.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, a charred crater was instantly blasted into the surface of the stone pier, sending debris flying everywhere.
"Well done!" Lin Ze's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
After six months of magical feeding, plus the beginner pet experience potions from the system's newbie gift pack, Dimo's growth rate was simply terrifying. Now, it's a whole size bigger than when it was born, and its muscles have become firmer; it's no longer that cute little furball.
Most importantly, it has finally passed through its infancy and officially acquired combat capabilities!
According to the level classification in the world of "Full-Time Magister", Dimo has now definitely stepped into the threshold of the servant-level demon!
Moreover, it has awakened and mastered two skills: one is the ranged damage skill [Light Ball] that was just shown, and the other is the close-range dash skill [Flash Impact] with extremely high burst damage.
"Raising an army for a thousand days is for using it for one. Bombing rocks at home every day is boring, Dimo, let's go! Today, I'll take you out into the wild to have some fun and see the harsh realities of this world!"
Lin Ze scooped up Dimo and placed it on his shoulder. Dimo barked excitedly twice, its glowing tail wagging like a propeller.
…………
Beyond the borders of Bocheng, on the edge of the post station, lies a desolate wilderness.
This is the border between humans and demons, where a faint stench of decay and stench permeates the air, a stark contrast to the peaceful atmosphere within the realm of peace. Even during the day, the dense bushes and dark forests create an oppressive sense of danger.
Lin Ze, dressed in a camouflage uniform that was difficult to clean, and holding a steel dagger he had bought from the black market, carefully made his way through waist-high weeds.
"It's my first time leaving the city, and it would be a lie to say I'm not nervous. In this godforsaken place, who knows which one-eyed wolf might jump out from behind any tree." Lin Ze swallowed hard, muttering to himself. In a place where he could lose his life at any moment, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
His goal this time was clear: not to go deep, but to find the weakest, most isolated demons on the outskirts and practice his skills.
After groping around in the wilderness for nearly two hours, Lin Ze suddenly stopped.
A few meters ahead, near an abandoned reservoir, came a sickeningly loud chewing sound. Lin Ze crouched low, parted the bushes, and cautiously peeked out.
On the edge of the reservoir lay a giant rat, the size of a small calf. Its body was covered in disgusting dark red fur, and most horrifying of all was its enormous single eye, which took up almost half its face and emitted a sinister, menacing light.
Giant-eyed blood rat!
One of the most common servant-level demons around Bo City, it feeds on garbage and rotting flesh and is a frequent visitor to the city's sewers and outskirts.
"Luckily, I've run into a classic easy monster right away." Lin Ze squinted and observed carefully.
