Chapter 55 Capture Skill
The pet shop was in a corner of Tianlong City, but Xiaofeng did not find the task of learning the capture skill in it. After walking around this place, he found a farm behind the pet shop. He triggered the task after entering it.
“No problem.”
“Hey! You’ve accepted the task of collecting wool. Please go to the black goat stocking area on the east side of the farm to collect 20 pieces of wool. You need to give them to the farm administrator to complete the task.”
This task was not difficult. The black goat was a very gentle neutral monster. Xiaofeng quickly used the collection skill to collect 20 pieces of wool and handed them to the administrator.
“If you want to raise a pet, you must first learn how to tame them. Adventurer, I have another test for you. The Cooing Chickens in the North District are disobedience recently. Please help me tame them. Be careful and control your strength to avoid hurting them.”
The NPC gave him another task of taming Cooing Chicken after he had finished the task of collecting the wool. It seemed that he must finish many tasks before learning the capture skill. Xiaofeng immediately accepted it.
“Hey! You’ve accepted the task of taming the Cooing Chicken. Please go to the Northern District of the farm and give a little lesson to the naughty Cooing Chicken. Task Tip: You can successfully tame them by attacking the disobedient Cooing Chicken and reducing their Health Points to 10 percent. After successfully taming 20 Cooing Chickens, you can finish your task. If the Cooing Chicken is accidentally killed by you, then you will fail this task.”
The second task was obviously more difficult than the first one of collecting the wool. Cooing Chicken was not a powerful monster, but Xiaofeng had an extremely high attacking power and it was difficult for him to control his strength.
The Cooing Chicken was in the north of the farm. It was exactly the same as the Cooing Chicken outside Tianlong City. It was chubby and a bit cute and must be very popular among female players.
There were flocks of Cooing Chicken and most of their names were “Tamed Cooing Chicken”. They were neutral monsters and were not aggressive. But a small part of them was “Naughty Cooing Chicken.” They could attack players actively and were Xiaofeng’s target of this mission.
These two kinds of Cooing Chicken looked exactly the same as those outside the Tianlong City. They were fragile creatures with only 200 points of HP. Xiaofeng was hesitant. This was a difficult task. If he killed a naughty Cooing Chicken by accident, he may never have the chance to learn the capture skill, which was a serious consequence.
The cooing sound.
A Cooing Chicken that was close to Xiaofeng entered the hatred range. It flew toward Xiaofeng and tried to peck him.
Xiaofeng didn’t care about the damage of a 10th-level ornamental small animal, but he could do nothing but wave his Therapeutic Scepter. He didn’t even use the Weapon Blessing and directly knocked on it.
The cooing sound.
“-82!”
Xiaofeng heard a cock’s crow and health points of the Cooing Chicken fell to 118.
Fortunately, it didn’t trigger the crit. Xiaofeng was relieved and carefully hit it once again.
“-81!”
Unfortunately, it only had 37 health points now. According to the requirement of this task, he needed to reduce more than 10 percent of HP of the Cooing Chicken, which meant that its HP should be lower than 20 points. Xiaofeng felt depressed after looking at his attacking power.
This task was too difficult! He couldn’t finish it!
The cooing sound.
The Cooing Chicken that only had a few health points became excited once again. It flew toward him and pecked and scratched him. But Xiaofeng could do nothing but stand still and endure the bullying of a chicken. If he could heal this chicken, he would definitely torture it by killing and healing it at the same time.
After thinking for a few minutes, Xiaofeng suddenly had an idea. He put all the equipment back to the backpack. At the moment, there was only one pant that was forcibly retained by the system on him.
Now, he became a true naked man. He looked like an exhibitionist. Xiaofeng dared not do this if there were other players standing in this place.
“It’s a bit cold… I hope it works…”
A cold breeze brushed his face and Xiaofeng’s slender and strong body shivered. He must finish his task quickly. First, he kicked the damned chicken beside his feet mercilessly. He didn’t attack it when he took off all his equipment and this chicken had already reduced his HP by half in this short time.
“-12!”
Few points of damage appeared on the head of the Cooing Chicken but Xiaofeng was pleasantly surprised. He didn’t wear any equipment now, and his attack power was only as high as the basic strength, which was 27 points. But it was just enough to deal with the Cooing Chicken!
“Damned chicken! You’re doomed!”
Xiaofeng looked hideous and mercilessly kicked this damned Cooing Chicken once again with his bare feet.
The cooing sound.
“-12!”
Another figure of damage appeared and the Cooing Chicken, which only had had a few health points before, had fewer than 20 points now. It immediately became neutral and tamed Cooing Chicken and stopped attacking Xiaofeng. The task showed that he had successfully tamed one Cooing Chicken.
Xiaofeng was excited and believed that he had found the right way to deal with the Cooing Chicken. He smiled and rushed into the chicken flocks naked. He kept kicking them and the chickens darted away on all sides.
But the worst thing happened. When Xiaofeng was playing happily, another player appeared on this farm. Looking at Xiaofeng who only wore a pant, he was surprised and scolded him.
“You are a pervert!”
Xiaofeng also noticed that someone had come here to do the task of the capture skill. He turned around and found that it was a young archer player. He was about 18 or 19 years old and concealed his character name. Xiaofeng didn’t know his identity, but he was sure that he must be a senior player since he could enter the main city at the current stage.
But at this moment, this young archer was looking at Xiaofeng with loathing. He immediately looked away as if his eyes were contaminated. Then he turned and went to the Eastern District. He didn’t want to stay in this place anymore.
Xiaofeng looked down at himself. He was wearing a systematic pant and was kicking the chickens madly. There were also two chicken feathers on his head. He blushed and looked around and was relieved after finding that there was no one else. But he was still worried and concealed his character name. It was too embarrassing if others saw him naked.
Then Xiaofeng suddenly realized that he had a fashionable dress. He immediately found it and put it on. He was more comfortable now wearing this novice suit. He continued to kick these Cooing Chickens. It was the first time Xiaofeng found it difficult to deal with the 10th-level monsters. It took him a long time to tame one of them.
But Xiaofeng became happy after a while because the archer appeared in the Northern District once again to tame the Cooing Chicken after finishing the task in the Eastern District.
Like Xiaofeng, this archer player dared not attack the chicken after a tentative attack. Then maybe Xiaofeng had reminded him, he also started to take off his equipment.
“Hey! Buddy! What’s wrong with you?”
“Hey! Stop! Why do you undress in broad daylight? Shame on you! I’m also standing here!”
Xiaofeng was revengeful and couldn’t stand being bullied by others. So he immediately counter-attacked.
“You… Shut up! I’m doing this for the task!”
The archer player was quite young. He took off his jacket and blushed when Xiaofeng teased him.
“What are you talking about? You take off clothes in broad daylight! Shame on you!”
“You’re immoral and rude! You’re also shameless!”
“I’m being harassed by you in public! I have to apply for the harassment punishment to the system! You’re going to be killed by the thunder!”
Xiaofeng was fearless and teased the archer mercilessly because he was wearing the newbie suit.
“Stop! Shut up!”
The thin upper body of the young archer was still naked and he was trembling with anger after hearing Xiaofeng’s words.
“Alright! I shut up! I’ve finished my task!”
Xiaofeng left the chicken flocks and stood aside as if he was persuaded by the young archer to shut up.
But what he did next made the archer even angrier. Xiaofeng shut up and stood aside. But he turned on the camera of the system and started to take pictures of the archer player with interest.
“Don’t stand there gawking! I’ve given the mission location to you! Hurry up and take off… No, hurry up and do your tasks!”
“Ah! You bastard! I’ll kill you!”
The young archer’s face immediately darkened. He put on the equipment in an instant, picked up the longbow and wanted to fight with Xiaofeng.
“Help! An adventurer wants to start the malicious Player Killing in the city! City guard! Where is the city guard! Come here and catch him!”
Xiaofeng didn’t even move. He stood still and shouted.
“Shut up!”
The young archer who was just about to attack Xiaofeng directly froze. Xiaofeng was right. This was indeed a safe area in the city. If he started the malicious Player Killing, the consequences would be very serious.
But looking at Xiaofeng who pretended to be innocent, the young archer was filled with fury. He took a deep breath like the old cow and his thin body shivered with anger. Then he turned around and walked away. He directly left the farm without finishing his task.
“You’re too naive. How dare you bother me!”
Xiaofeng sneered with disdain and clapped his hands. He was about to hand the task in when he suddenly heard an uncaring female voice coming from behind.
“Bitch! You look very happy!”
Xiaofeng was scared by the voice. He really didn’t realize that there was a third player nearby. He put on all the equipment in an instant and turned around at the same time. He looked alert.
Then he saw the figure of Night Cooer slowly appearing in the air.
“Sneaking?”
Xiaofeng frowned. Night Cooer was strong and it was not surprising that she had already changed her profession. But why didn’t she attack him just now?
It was his first time to see the sneaking skill in online games. Its invisibility ability was strong and even Xiaofeng hadn’t noticed it. Besides, he hadn’t worn any equipment just now and he would have definitely been killed if Night Cooer had launched the attack.
But Xiaofeng suddenly understood the reason when he thought that no player dared to challenge the NPC guard in the main city at the current stage.
Night Cooer and Midsummer Rose were cousins and Xiaofeng didn’t want to talk to her. He put away the weapon and directly walked away to hand in the task.
“Wait…”
Night Cooer reached out and wanted to say something. But she gave up after thinking for a while. She snorted with discontent and went to the Eastern District to do the task of collecting wool.
Night Cooer seemed to avoid him deliberately and Xiaofeng didn’t see her in the following tasks. After taming the Cooing Chicken, Xiaofeng accepted a series of agonizing tasks. But he finally finished all of them and learned the capture skill.
“Hey! You’ve learned the life skill – capture skill!”
