Chapter 407: I Think You’re Asking For A Beating

Shuang Yun roughly explained the upgrade to a medium-level beast city.

Huanhuan was very surprised. “We haven’t even established a beast city yet. Isn’t it too soon for us to upgrade to a medium-level beast city?”

Shuang Yun said, “The King of Beasts wants us to directly build a medium-level beast city after upgrading to a medium-level beast city. This way, we can save the trouble of transforming a low-level beast city into a medium-level beast city.”

Huanhuan looked at Bai Di and Xue Ling. “What do you think?”

Xue Ling smiled faintly. “I’m very curious. Why does the King of Beasts want us to fight to upgrade to a medium-level beast city? And from the looks of it, he seems to be very confident that we can upgrade to a medium-level beast city.”

Xue Hui said at the right time, “I’ve heard about this from the Jing father and son of the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce. The low-level beast cities that should have the most hope of being upgraded this time should be Red Crystal City and Blue Crystal City. Red Crystal City is the territory of Sun City. The city lord was killed by us. Now that the place is in chaos, they definitely won’t have a chance to upgrade to a medium-level beast city. Now, there’s only Blue Crystal City left, but they’ve been very close to Dark Moon City recently. It’s obvious that they’re secretly in cahoots.”

Bai Di analyzed, “In other words, Blue Crystal City is close to the Dark Moon City. If Blue Crystal City is upgraded to a medium-level beast city in the future, they’ll definitely form an alliance with Dark Moon City. At that time, the three-way situation will be broken, and the scales will tilt toward Dark Moon City. This is very bad for the City of 10,000 Beasts.”

The situation that the higher-ups wanted to see the most was nothing more than balance.

However, if Dark Moon City and Blue Crystal City became allies, the situation between the medium-level beast cities would no longer be balanced. The City of 10,000 Beasts would no longer be able to control the situation.

This was a huge hidden danger to the King of Beasts who had been in power for a long time.

Xue Ling chuckled. “Has the King of Beasts forgotten Bai Di’s relationship with Sun City? If the Rock Wolf Tribe upgrades to a medium-level beast city, isn’t he worried that we’ll become allies with Sun City?”

“No,” Bai Di replied straightforwardly. “Bai Luo almost fell out with me for the throne. This matter has blown up. I believe the King of Beasts should have heard about it.”

Shuang Yun said, “You mean, the King of Beasts thinks that you don’t have a good relationship with Bai Luo, so he’s deliberately roping in our Rock Wolf Tribe?”

The Rock Wolf Tribe had many old grudges with Dark Moon City, and their relationship had long been strained.

Bai Di and Bai Luo had fallen out over the throne. Bai Di would definitely not agree to let the Rock Wolf Tribe get close to Sun City.

In this way, the relationship between Rock Wolf Tribe and Sun City would be completely cut off. This would balance out the forces between the three medium-level beast cities.

Huanhuan clicked her tongue. “The King of Beasts is really scheming!”

Shuang Yun grinned and said, “But he still miscalculated. Bai Di and Bai Luo only have a bad relationship on the surface. In fact, the three brothers have a good relationship!”

Bai Di said, “Since the King of Beasts has misunderstood that my relationship with Bai Luo is bad, let’s go with the flow and deepen this misunderstanding. Let’s not let the King of Beasts know the truth.”

Shuang Yun immediately said to Huanhuan, “Look, this is the Bai Di you like. He looks nice, but when you cut him open, his heart is black.”

Bai Di cleared his throat. “Even if you want to sow discord, can you say these things behind my back?”

“I don’t like to talk behind people’s backs. If I wanna say something, I’ll say it to your face.”

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re a city lord now. Can’t you act like one?”

Shuang Yun smiled proudly. “Being straightforward is my style as a city lord. Don’t you think it’s great?”

“I think you’re asking for a beating.”

Shuang Yun opened his arms. “Hurry up and hit me with your little fists. I can’t wait.”

Huanhuan grabbed Xue Ling’s hand and hit Shuang Yun’s chest.

Shuang Yun quickly dodged and muttered, “My body is only for Huanhuan. Everyone else, go to the side!”

Xue Ling took the opportunity to hug Huanhuan. “Unfortunately, Huanhuan doesn’t like you. She likes me more.”

“Huanhuan clearly likes me more. She doesn’t like old guys like you with rough skin and tough flesh.”

“No matter how old I am, I’m still much better than a young brat like you.”

“Who are you calling a brat?”

“The one who responded!”

…

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Huanhuan slowly retreated from Xue Ling’s arms and pulled him aside.

Now, she had finally seen their true colors. Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were born with bad mouths. They liked to argue with each other.

In the past, she would foolishly rush forward to help mediate the fight. In the end, she was the one who was defeated.

Now, she wouldn’t draw fire to herself.

Since they liked to argue with each other, she would let them. When they were done, everything would be fine.

All she had to do was pull Bai Di aside to watch the commotion.

Due to the fact that they had to participate in the selection to upgrade their city to a medium-level beast city, the Rock Wolf Tribe could not leave the City of 10,000 Beasts for the time being. It was said that this selection involved group combat. Shuang Yun seized the opportunity to train his tribesmen’s cooperative combat ability.

Huanhuan had nothing to do at home. She took out the Introduction to Alchemy Manual and continued to study the method to make prosthetics.

The system helped her come up with an idea. “You can try making a central axis with the bones. You might succeed with Little Pink.”

Huanhuan asked Bai Di to help buy a long and straight animal leg bone. After sawing it off, she heated Little Pink and molded it before cooling it. She made various small parts and assembled them step by step according to the instructions in the manual.

In order to increase the attack power, Huanhuan added a retractable short blade into the prosthetic limb.

She found Feng Lan and attached the prosthetic limb to his right arm.

“Try it. Can you move it?”

This was the first time Feng Lan had seen a prosthetic limb. He looked at the prosthetic arm curiously and tried to move his fingers. He realized that it really worked!

He couldn’t help but praise, “Impressive!”

Huanhuan said slowly, “Make a fist and see.”

Feng Lan clenched his fists.

She said, “Harder.”

Feng Lan obediently tightened his grip, and three sharp knives immediately appeared on the back of his hand.

His eyes lit up. “This is good! It can be used for close combat!”

Huanhuan asked, “Do you feel comfortable wearing it?”

Feng Lan loosened his fist, and the knives automatically retracted. He squeezed the fingers of his prosthetic limb and said in satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad!”

With this fake arm, he was no longer a cripple. He could participate in hunts and battles again!

Huanhuan said, “Take off the prosthetic arm. I have to study it.”

“What for? I think this is pretty good.”

“It’s indeed alright as a human prosthetic, but it can’t transform into wolf claws. What will you do when you transform into a beast? Are you planning to run with three wolf claws and a human hand?”

When Feng Lan thought of that scene, he couldn’t help but frown. He quickly took off the prosthetic arm and returned it to Huanhuan, begging her to figure out how to make it turn into a wolf claw.
