Chapter 65: Chapter 62: Carefree and Comfortable Winter
Lu Yuan decided to quit while he was ahead, no longer troubling the mother bear and instead threw out a few steamed buns.
"Fighting is hard work, please enjoy the food."
"Roar!"
With fierce eyes but inwardly timid, the mother bear roared. Suddenly, she found a steamed bun stuffed in her mouth.
After a couple of bites, it tasted pretty good.
Delicious!
There was a unique flavor brewing in her mouth, a sense of happiness continuously welled up from the bottom of her heart.
The mother bear's shiny eyes widened as she stood there stunned. Could this be the legendary...
The food bears love the most?
What was it called again... A mother bear who had never tasted honey in her life was immersed in a sea of happiness.
Only the two cubs were left with a clear look of confusion in their eyes.
What was happening?
Weren't they just fighting? What was Mom eating?
We want to eat too!
After the fight, Lu Yuan felt like his muscles were all stretched out. In a pleasant mood, he quickly left with Old Wolf, "I'll come back to fight with you in a couple of days!"
Bears' memories are said to last only seven seconds. The mother bear was completely conquered by the honey steamed buns. She didn't even bother about the nosebleed anymore and began fighting over the food with her cubs!
After finishing, she longingly gazed at the footprints on the snowy ground.
It was really tasty.
...
...
The next morning, Lu Yuan arrived punctually under the corn tree to fight the mother bear.
"Roar!" The mother bear furiously protested but didn't charge blindly forward.
There was no other way, Lu Yuan had to charge up and grapple with her.
He again emerged completely victorious!
This victory was even easier because he had figured out the mother bear's moves: a pounce, a swipe, and then a bite.
These three moves were enough to deal with most animals.
But for Lu Yuan, they were just too straightforward, easy to predict.
Given that Lu Yuan's agility far surpassed that of the bear, he only needed to dodge that "Strangely Powerful Strike" to make it quite difficult for the mother bear to defeat him.
However, this time Lu Yuan didn't aim for her head. He felt somewhat remorseful hitting her head until she bled every day.
He consistently used his shield, targeting spots that were less likely to injure her.
The struggle with the mother bear lasted hours, an utterly exhilarating experience that stretched every muscle in his body.
It ended with the mother bear abandoning her cubs and running away.
"You guys eat some steamed buns first, rest well, and I will come back tomorrow!"
The mother bear looked sorrowful yet savored the steamed buns. Find adventures at M V L
As she tasted them carefully, she even detected a hint of corn... Delicious!
Did this guy really not steal any corn?
She gazed at the drifting snowflakes, her eyes sparkling, still craving for those big steamed buns.
...
On the third day, Lu Yuan came back for yet another fight.
There was no choice, the surrounding area only had this bear suitable for fighting. Others were either too strong or too weakâthey would just run away at the sight of him. Animals living on the Pangu Continent all had their own way of life.
The fight had barely started when the mother bear timidly started waiting for food!
She didn't even initiate an attack, just sat on the ground, looking eagerly around.
When Lu Yuan hit her with the shield, she simply turned around and ran.
Anyway, just don't launch any attacks! Just run!
Getting beaten up every day, who could endure that?
The two little bears also charged up, circling around him and constantly acting cute.
Having no choice, Lu Yuan had to take out the steamed buns he had prepared earlier and distributed them to the three bears.
"Damn, they're all cunning."
This was normal, as Lu Yuan originally had a higher level than the mother bear, and combined with the learning capability from his "Eternal Body," it enabled him to quickly adapt to fighting the bear, tremendously boosting his real combat experience.
"Woof woof!" Old Wolf howled on the side.
He had once thought that taming this mother bear might also complete the "Tame Transcendent Beings" milestone.
The mother bear was a genuine Extraordinary Life!
But clearly, the mother bear was not quite the same as Old Wolf.
Its wildness was strong, and it was not on the brink of extinction; it simply fancied the taste of honey steamed buns.
With its appetite, these little steamed buns could only be considered as snacks.
It would not completely submit to Lu Yuan merely because of a bite to eat.
As bears are solitary creatures, they don't have a social structure involving divisions of labor.
"Obedience" simply isn't an option in its innate thinking.
After living with its mother for another 2-3 years, the little bears would mostly have to go out and live independently.
For these reasons, the difficulty of taming the mother bear was undoubtedly greater, possibly taking several months or even several years...
Moreover, Lu Yuan seriously doubted that the milestone of "Taming Extraordinary Life" had already been achieved by other civilizations.
With so many civilizations and so many safe zones, there must have been some animals domesticated upon entering the Pangu Continent that underwent mutations.
After these animals mutated, as long as their temperaments didn't drastically change, they should also be in a tamed state.
Therefore, "Taming of Extraordinary Life" might be a relatively simple milestone, one that had probably already been completed by a civilization.
"Who knows, maybe one of the seventeen civilizations from Earth has already completed it?"
So, Lu Yuan was just giving it a casual try.
Even if he couldn't tame the mother bear or accomplish the milestone, he wouldn't lose anything.
He was not so narcissistic as to monopolize all the civilization milestones...
Moreover, sparring with the mother bear provided valuable emotional value, so why not?
...
As such, time passed day by day, and that winter, Lu Yuan spent each day diligently practicing.
The breakthrough Extraordinary Spark was indeed different from a Level 1 little flame, possessing many techniques to cultivate, such as strengthening, healing, detoxifying, all within the scope of skills.
Also, he discovered a key point, that as his level increased, his other abilities also slightly improved.
For example, the duration he could maintain Different Space became longer.
Originally, maintaining it for three hours would cause him to faint.
Nowadays, he could maintain it for twelve hours, and if he ate pomegranates while maintaining Different Space, he could last up to thirty hours! (Different Space cannot be activated while sleeping.)
The edge length of his Storage Space also expanded to two meters.
Which is eight cubic meters.
Originally, it was only one cubic meter.
Eight cubic meters is quite a large volume, the size of a small utility room, capable of holding a lot of supplies.
Lu Yuan carefully placed essential resources such as Extraordinary Food and Daedalus' Tool Set into the Storage Space.
As for other abilities, Explorer's Eye, Pioneer's Eye, there didn't seem to be any significant changes...
In his spare time, he was also trying to make new clothes, pants, and shoes.
After all, he had gained an ability called "Craftsmanship," making sewing a piece of cake.
However, activating this ability required something called "Inspiration," and Lu Yuan still had no idea where this Inspiration came from.
All in all, that winter was indeed carefree and comfortable.
