《The Adventure of Holy Beast Bai Xiaoli》C32. Go out of City for Hunting
Advertisement
“Wait a minute, are you really going there?” Long Lan is almost shocked.
“Of course, I’ll make money to buy meat.” Bai Xiaoli says naturally, and then twists his head to ask Cang Yan, “Can we sell the alien beast? If it can be sold, I can take more back.”
All four are stupefied and would like to say, ‘are you really serious?’
After knowing that Bai Xiaoli is his soul beast, Cang Yan is already very proud of its 30 points in the exam.
Other soul beasts only know fighting according to the instructions from their masters. His soul beast knows everything. Although the score is not high, it’s still obtained by itself. You can let others’ soul beasts to have a try. Maybe they even don’t know how to hold the pen. Do they speak? Do they know the words? Just impossible.
“The alien beasts are very dangerous and hard to hunt, but there’re treasures all over their body.”
“The materials on its body can be made into weapons and protective gears, its meat is edible, and the meat of an alien beast is the most expensive one among all kinds of meat. The higher level the alien beast, the higher price of its meat.”
“The most precious of its body is beast core. All the star power absorbed by the alien beast is gathered in its beast core. After obtaining the beast core, human can directly absorb the star power inside for his own use.” Cang Yan explains the popular science to Bai Xiaoli.
Bai Xiaoli considers for a moment. This beast core should have the same functions with the demon core in the world where he comes from. It can be used for practicing, refining medicine, refining weapons and so on; it’s something rarely good.

“Since it can be sold for money, I go to kill more and bring them back.” Bai Xiaoli is about to leave after saying this.
Long Lan hastily holds him, “It’s very dangerous out of the city. People can die at anytime and anywhere. Don’t go out at random. This month you can get relief from Brother Cang Yan. When I get money for next month, you can continue eating meat. Don’t take a risk.”
Bai Xiaoli says with his eyes intent, “Don’t stop me from making money.”
Long Lan almost cries out. What the hell is making money? If someone loses his life, then why make money? How to eat meat? Long Lan fails to stop Bai Xiaoli. Cang Yan feels worried about letting Bai Xiaoli go out of city alone, so he follows.
Since Cang Yan is going together, Joyce will certainly follow. If they are both going, Rovel will naturally be together with them. At last, Long Lan also hesitates to go together, but Cang Yan refuses.
“You’ve not yet recovered; don’t come along.”
“It’s only a minor injury. The pain has gone after I took the medicine. The next two days are weekends. It’s boring to stay alone in the College. I’ve never gone out of city, since I grow up. I have heard that it’s dangerous out of city, but I’ve never seen. Since you all leave, how can I stay in the College alone?”
Long Lan grows up in a wealthy family of Tianjing City. He doesn’t need to run for living at all. Everyone knows that it’s dangerous out of city, he will certainly not go for death there.
In this case, Cang Yan doesn’t hesitate anymore. He let everyone go back to pack up and change their clothes passingly, and then gather together at the gate of the College.

Cang Yan has told them in advance that what they should bring and let them prepare themselves.
Long Lan and Rovel try to bring what are requested by Cang Yan as much as possible. They wear the outdoor clothing and go to the gate of the College with backpacks. There’s only Bai Xiaoli who comes empty-handed. He only changes his clothes. He doesn’t want to make any exception, but he has nothing to take.
Having a look at them and the empty-handed Bai Xiaoli, Cang Yan doesn’t say anything.
After not a long time has passed, Joyce drives a SUV over.
The SUV is in whole black and is modified to be like an iron beast, looking really grand and awesome.
Bai Xiaoli and Rovel don’t know much about vehicles. It’s after meeting Long Lan that Bai Xiaoli gets to know what is vehicle. If let him make out the quality or distinguish the brands, it’s too hard for him.
For Rovel, it’s family financial situation which limits his field of vision.
The only one who knows about it is Long Lan. He touches the car body in surprise and says, “So cool! Is this car specially prepared for going out of city?”
Otherwise, who will drive a so large modified SUV in the city?
“Exactly, get on the car.” Cang Yan drops his backpack onto the seat of co-driver and gets on, leaving the back row for the three.
Long Lan is exciting. When he gets in the car, he touches it all over, saying, “Senior, do you usually go out of the city before?”
Joyce laughs while driving: “Of course, if not, we will not buy such a vehicle.”
Long Lan exclaims, “Awesome! Brother, you can go out of the city as you want?”
Lord Bai is Back!

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Chromesight
After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race. Another environmental collapse looms, visions of the last haunting memories and consciences of the lower and middle classes around the globe. That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation. Rescued from being a tool in cyberspace and grown a new body, Colton couldn't care less about the new meatspace world. He wants to go back, back to the electronic glow that was his home. - - - - This is a MyNoWriMo entry. Lesser known than NaNoWriMo, MyNoWriMo takes place in January and is otherwise exactly the same.

In the meantime there'll be no editing and helter-skelter story planning since I didn't do it beforehand :/
