Chapter 1199: Chapter 344: Hatching! A New Companion! (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Hierarch Shangli Mocheng)
Singing off-key isn’t a big deal, it’s kind of like a mental attack...
But come to think of it, what is the effect of this skill?
Lin Su blinked, and it seemed like nothing had changed around him.
Receiving Lin Su’s compliment, Tata’s eyes suddenly widened, and a burst of delight quickly appeared in them.
I knew it!
My singing is obviously good, they just don’t appreciate it!
Hmm... who are "they" referring to?
A hint of confusion flashed in Tata’s eyes, then quickly dissipated.
Who cares!
This is my true companion!
For a moment, Tata looked at Lin Su with affectionate eyes.
"Da! ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (Then I’ll sing another one!)
"Hold on!" Lin Su couldn’t take it anymore, quickly interrupting Tata’s intention to continue singing, "First, tell me what the effect of this skill is."
"Da! ʕ⊙ᴥ⊙ʔ" (This skill is called Recovery Song!)
"Da! ʕ˃ᴥ˂ʔ" (It can recover all losses!)
"Recover all losses..." Lin Su immediately glanced at Youyou next to him, "Youyou, did you feel anything just now?"
"Huh? (⑅ŏᴗŏ⑅)" (Me?)
Youyou shook its head, perplexed.
It was so stunned by Tata’s singing that it didn’t notice anything else.
"Then try dispersing your Undying Golden Body now." Lin Su said seriously, "Tata’s power complements the Power of Shattering, so theoretically, it might counteract the effects on you."
Youyou quickly recalled the twin stars it saw before and unhesitatingly dispersed the Undying Golden Body covering the long spear.
This skill, since Youyou evolved and acquired the Power of Shattering, has been in an always-on state. Now, as it completely closes, fine cracks quickly spread across Youyou’s original long spear.
However, having been familiar with this power for some time, Youyou increasingly managed it skillfully, quickly suppressing the Power of Shattering’s impact to the minimum, allowing it to endure for a short period.
"Tata, sing again now." Lin Su encouraged with a smile.
So, amidst the swiftly changing expressions of Qiuqiu and Ghost, Tata eagerly picked up its microphone tail, and began to sing joyfully.
Already mentally prepared, Lin Su’s expression didn’t change this time. He focused on Youyou’s tail and indeed noticed that as the song began, the speed at which the cracks spread on Youyou’s original long spear halted.
That’s all.
After all, Tata had just been born, and was still in the infant stage, and the skill had no proficiency.
Even if Youyou fully controlled the Power of Shattering, it was still not comparable to Tata’s power.
But it was already enough.
Seeing that Tata’s skill indeed worked against the Power of Shattering, offsetting its side effects, Lin Su’s face suddenly showed a happy expression.
"Hmm! (❁´◡`❁)" (My strength seems to have recovered a bit!)
Youyou couldn’t help but speak up.
This time, it focused on sensing its own changes. Besides the changes in the original long spear that Lin Su could see, Youyou also felt its own power recovering.
Because it needed to maintain the Undying Golden Body constantly, Youyou’s power was always being consumed. Although the consumption wasn’t large, there was still a small gap to its peak.
But now, bathed in Tata’s song, Youyou felt its power recover slightly.
Though the restored power was negligible compared to Youyou’s power due to Tata’s weak strength, it indeed existed.
"Not only can it counteract the side effects of the Power of Shattering, but it can also restore the energy of exhausted pets?" Lin Su quickly realized that Tata’s ability might have other uses.
As Tata said, if it can recover all losses...
Lin Su unhesitatingly retrieved a sharp metal resource from the Space Ring and made a small cut on his arm.
A blood mark quickly appeared, with crimson blood flowing down his forearm.
"Let’s try again?" Lin Su’s voice carried both anticipation and nervousness.
"Da! ʕŏᴥŏʔ" (Okay!)
Seeing Lin Su injuring himself, Tata’s eyes quickly filled with concern and worry. It unhesitatingly picked up the microphone tail and began to sing.
In the surprised eyes of Lin Su and the three little ones, the wound healed at an extremely fast speed.
Being able to heal wounds proved that this ability could be used for healing.
If injury is defined as bodily loss, then this explains everything.
Seeing this, joy immediately appeared on Youyou’s face.
Hooray! Finally, it doesn’t need to be responsible for healing itself!
Having learned the healing skill only a few days ago, it’s now retiring with honor!
Qiuqiu and Ghost also showed joyful expressions.
Tata’s Recovery Song is much more effective than Youyou’s healing-type teaching skill, and it can restore consumed energy!
In this way, they will never tire during training, right?
Although the singing was a bit off-key, covering their ears would be fine!
Suddenly, the two little ones were filled with goodwill towards the newly hatched fourth.
They must feed him well so he grows up quickly!
Using the Recovery Song three times continuously was already exhausting for the newly born Tata, and its young face quickly showed a hint of fatigue.
Noticing this, Lin Su gently stroked Tata’s head, "Rest before showing other skills."
"Da? ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ" (I don’t have other skills?)
Tata scratched its head, looking at Lin Su.
Lin Su was taken aback.
It’s the first time he’s seen such few Talent Skills for an emperor species.
However, thinking about how unique Tata is, he quickly became relieved.
"No problem, Recovery Song is already excellent." Lin Su smiled reassuringly, then showed a bit of helplessness, "Originally I should have contracted you, but my Beast Taming Space hasn’t reached the seventh tier, so there’s no fourth contract slot. Let’s be together for a while first."
Contract...
This particular word seemed to trigger some instinct in Tata. A hint of confusion flashed in its eyes, and then, it instinctively wrapped a paw around Lin Su’s finger and bit it!
In Lin Su’s astonishment, Tata reached out its chubby paws, hugged Lin Su’s bleeding finger, and tapped it on its own head.
As a gleam of light passed, a magical connection formed between Lin Su and Tata!
What is this?
Lin Su’s eyes widened suddenly.
This connection is far simpler than a Guardian Beast Contract, allowing Lin Su to neither bring Tata into his Beast Taming Space nor engage in Guardian Beast Co-operation.
But it can give Lin Su and Tata a telepathy similar to the Guardian Beast Contract!
In this way, even without a Guardian Beast Contract, they can communicate without obstacles.
"Da! ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ"
Tata called out, and simultaneously Lin Su heard its childish voice in his mind.
"Hello, Beast Tamer!"
Lin Su stroked Tata’s head and instinctively looked around.
Could this special contract method also come from...
Suddenly, he felt immense curiosity towards the divine court.
Next, it’s time to see what else is in the divine court’s relics!
He suddenly shook his head as he thought about it.
Why does he feel more spirited?
Probably because Tata hatched, and he’s so happy.
"Let’s go! Let’s look around!"
(There’s an Easter egg Chapter at the end!)
