It was the end of the year on the 8th of February.
Lin Huang, who had been practicing his sword skills for the past few days, took a day off. He went out with Lin Xin early in the morning.
All the markets around were closed as it was the end of the year. The siblings went straight to the biggest supermarket nearby to purchase the ingredients that Mr. Fu wanted.
Mr. Fu and a bunch of imperial monsters were the only ones left in the three-story villa.
Mr. Fu sat by the coffee table, watching Bloody and Grimace play chess.
Naturally, the two Supreme Intelligent monsters were not playing an ordinary chess game. It was the Spacetime Chess that was widely acknowledged as the most difficult chess game.
Each player had 32 chess pieces, and each chess piece had a different function. The most difficult part was the space and time of the chess game. The chessboard was in a 3D state, with a total of 27,000 coordinates. Moreover, it could trigger the time and space effects when certain conditions were met.
For example, time reversal (resurrecting the chess pieces that were eliminated), time acceleration (allowing one to make more consecutive moves), time halt (stopping the opponent from placing a chess piece for a few rounds), space swap (swapping positions with any chess piece on the board), space jump (jumping over existing chess pieces to move), space crack (forcing all the chess pieces in a certain area to be eliminated) …
Bloody and Grimace played for the entire day yesterday. They did not even sleep the entire night. Grimace lost more than 30 rounds consecutively, but it was still unwilling to admit defeat.
Bloody sipped its coffee leisurely as it played the game in a relaxed manner.
Ghost Face's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was filled with bitterness and hatred.
In reality, both of them were on par when it came to calculating ability. The main reason why Bloody could keep winning was that it would play this game on the Heart Network whenever it had nothing to do. Moreover, it was recruited into a master's club and was always playing with masters. Therefore, it was miles ahead of Grimace when it came to using the various chess rules.
However, Grimace was a newbie when it came to this. Although it knew the rules, it was much weaker than Bloody when it came to using them. Moreover, Bloody was proficient in some of the loopholes in the rules that were discovered through research.
Mr. Fu was enjoying the game as well. In reality, he was an expert in this as well. However, his calculating ability was nothing compared to the two Supreme Intelligent monsters. He nodded as he watched the two top masters fight. He learned a lot.
The Seventy-Tailed Phoenix kept pestering Thunder. It wasn't that Little Seven had never met a bird type monster, but he had never played with it before. When those surveillance birds encountered it, they would flap their wings and flee from afar. As for the Thousand-Language Birds, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to accept the candy and ran away. The bloodline suppression of this kind of bird species made it unable to find a playmate. It was not easy for a Thunder to appear. Naturally, he would not let it go so easily.
Originally, Thunder didn't want to take care of this little guy, but Lin Huang gave the order to take care of Little Seven, so he had no choice but to shoulder this heavy responsibility. But Thunder felt tired just thinking about how he had to be a mount and take care of the kids. Every time he had to fight, he would never get a chance to do so.
In front of the fireplace, Charcoal lay lazily on the ground, sleeping. Little Seven was actually quite curious about this winged creature. She had approached him a few times, but Charcoal couldn't be bothered with her. He pretended to be asleep and avoided the calamity of being a nanny.
The Witch was scolding the Fiend and the Malachian Fiend from the kitchen. "Can the both of you not create trouble in the kitchen? I'll make dessert. You guys walk around and look at the floor. There are footprints all over the floor. "
"I'll get a mop." The Fiend got up and walked to the washroom.
"I'll go too." The Malachian Fiend followed it immediately.
In the living room, Lancelot sat on the couch and munched on some dried vegetables while watching the projector TV.
Next to him, Killer had battle intent written all over his face. "I've digested another Sword Dao inheritance. Lancelot, let's spar again."
"I want to watch TV." Lancelot rejected him directly without even lifting his head.
"I'll spar with you." The Evil Dominator next to him smirked.
"Then, it's a deal. No substitutes above imperial-level yellow gold-rank." Killer recalled the last time when he had sparred with the Evil Dominator. The Evil Dominator had used an imperial-level white gold-rank substitute to teach him a lesson.
"Sure, there's no need for that." The Evil Dominator agreed right away.
The duo found Mr. Fu and soon, they were sent into the Kingdom to spar.
On the ceiling, the Herculean King and Bing Wang had shrunk to the size of a palm. They were jumping around the lanterns and all sorts of furniture.
Bai stood by the window and stared blankly at the falling snow outside.
Tyrant walked over with ice cream in each hand and handed one of them to Bai.
"Have it yourself." Bai shook his head.
"Try it. It's delicious." Tyrant licked his ice cream as he spoke. He could not bear to bite it. Otherwise, he could eat a few of such ice cream in one bite.
Bai hesitated for a moment and took it anyway.
"Bloody said you're not in a good mood, so she asked me to come over and ask what's wrong." Tyrant sold Bloody out right away.
Bai turned his head to glance at Bloody. Bloody was still playing chess and did not seem to notice them at all.
"I'm alright."
"Tell me. We're brothers. Why can't you tell me?" Tyrant stretched his arm out and put it on Bai's shoulder.
Bai peeped at Lancelot's three best friends and soon looked away. He then lowered his head to look at the ice cream in his hand. "I'm Master's first imperial monster, but now Lancelot and the rest have elevated to pseudo-mythical-level while Kelly has elevated to mythical-level. However, I'm still stuck on legendary-level. My overall ability isn't even comparable to the new Warlord. "
"Don't compare yourself to the Warlord who plays with the Army Style. You must believe in Master. It's only temporary that we're stuck on legendary-level. We'll elevate to mythical-level sooner or later. "Tyrant was an elder like Bai, but he was more open-minded about it.
"But Kelly elevated to mythical-level on her own." Bai was still brooding. He was not jealous, but he felt that he was not good enough.
"Bai, you're too harsh on yourself. Although Kelly has put in a lot of effort to elevate to mythical-level, she mainly relied on the mini world that she obtained. Lancelot elevated to pseudo-mythical-level because of his sword servant. As for Killer, he's already about to elevate to mythical-level. As for the Evil Dominator, he evolved through the God's Blood Seed. He's a God himself. "At that moment, Bloody finally could not help but speak through voice transmission.
"You, me, and most of the imperial monsters under Master elevated step by step from once or twice mutated. Our starting point is different from Killer and the rest. If you must compare yourself to them, you should wait until you elevate to pseudo-mythical-level or mythical-level. Then, you can compete with them on the same level to see who's more powerful.
"Moreover, with Master's current combat strength, we're stuck on legendary-level, which is the best way to help Master. As soon as we elevate to mythical-level like Kelly, we won't be able to help anymore. It's not a good thing for Master.
"If you have the time to feel sorry for yourself, why don't you use that time to cultivate human combat skills instead? You can narrow the gap between your ability and Lancelot and the rest through diligent cultivation."
After listening to Bloody's advice, Bai was no longer depressed. His fighting spirit was boosted again.
"Bloody, pick a suitable method for me!"
Bai passed the ice cream that was melting in his hand back to Tyrant and headed straight to the balcony on the top floor.
Seeing that the ice cream was melting, Tyrant shoved the ice cream that Bai passed back into his mouth immediately. He chewed and swallowed it. "Yummy!"
Lin Huang and Lin Xin returned with the groceries when it was almost noon.
Lin Huang and Lin Xin made lunch together while the Witch helped in the kitchen.
Mr. Fu released Killer and the Evil Dominator from the Kingdom when they were eating.
Killer shouted at the Evil Dominator after being beaten up, "You liar! We agreed not to use substitutes above imperial-level yellow gold-rank."
"You can't blame me. A verbal agreement isn't binding anyway." The Evil Dominator spread his arms wide like a rascal.
After lunch, the imperial monsters toned down a lot since Lin Huang was home.
Bloody told Lin Huang about Bai. Lin Huang told Lin Huang about his plan after listening to what she had to say.
"Not only do we need Advance Cards to elevate from legendary-level to mythical-level, but we also need advancement materials. I was planning to collect the materials for all of you after the New Year. Since there are many types of materials and some of them are rare, it might take a long time to collect all of them. Therefore, it's better to do it as soon as possible.
"Keep an eye on Bai's side. I'll collect the materials as soon as possible. "
The villa became lively again when Mr. Fu started cooking at night.
Mr. Fu's dishes smelled so good that the imperial monsters were drooling before the dishes were served. They did not even have the mood to play anymore. Almost all of them gathered in the dining room, waiting for the dishes to be served.
When Mr. Fu served the dishes, everyone was dumbstruck when they saw the glowing dishes.
They were much more enthusiastic during dinner than they were in the afternoon.
Even Bai, who did not eat much in the afternoon, could not resist the temptation of the delicious food and ate until his tummy was bloated.
Lin Huang recalled the Herculean King and the rest of the imperial monsters that were lying on the ground. He then summoned the Fallen Knight and the rest. The imperial monsters that had not been summoned for the past few days ate to their heart's content.
"I've never eaten such delicious meat in my life!" Tyrant commented.
"There's food that's even more delicious than dried radishes?!" Lancelot was completely shocked.
"Master, can you learn how to cook?" Even Grimace humbled himself in front of Lin Huang because of the delicious food.
"It's better that your master doesn't learn this. It'll distract him too much." However, Mr. Fu shook his head while smiling. "If you guys want to learn, I can give you a culinary inheritance."
"Let me learn." Bloody was the first one to sign up.
"I want to learn too." Lin Xin was the second one to raise her hand.
"I want to learn too." The Witch raised her hand as well.
"I'll just eat," Tyrant said while smiling.
The rest had the same thought too.
Soon, night fell after dinner.
Besides the house, it was bustling outside as well.
Fireworks of various colors were set off.
Under the cover of Grimace's illusion, the imperial monsters gathered on the balconies on the second and third floors. They lifted their heads to look at the fireworks in the sky.
It was the first time most of the imperial monsters saw fireworks.
"It's so beautiful!"
"I bought some in the morning. Do you guys want to set them off?" Lin Huang asked while smiling.
"Yes!" The imperial monsters gave almost the same answer.
Lin Huang took out a small mountain of fireworks and let the imperial monsters choose from them. Soon, all of the fireworks were sold out.
Lin Huang demonstrated and set off one for everyone.
The imperial monsters picked it up very soon and set off the fireworks that they had in their hands.
Streaks of flames of various colors soared into the sky, exploding in the sky, releasing boundless radiance. Waves of joyous laughter could be heard from below.
Lin Xin leaned her head on Lin Huang's shoulder quietly. Lin Huang put his arm around her shoulder and stroked her hair.
Mr. Fu glanced at the siblings and the imperial monsters under the light of the fireworks. There was a faint smile at the corner of his eyes.
It was Lin Huang's third year in this world. It was unprecedentedly lively and warm.
