Chapter 108: I Have Reached Class A!
Three years!
After three years, I have finally caught up to Sister Red Pupil in rank!
Since I have reached this level, I should be able to be close to Mom like Sister Red Pupil, right?
I gathered my courage to see Mom with this thought in mind.
She was still beautiful and elegant.
My feet moved forward uncontrollably, just to reach Mom’s side…
"Stop, stop right there!"
The cold tone suddenly cleared my head, and I instinctively halted my steps.
Also, there seemed to be a hint of panic in her voice… No, how could Mom be panicking? Could it be that she was upset by my sudden closeness?
"Army Lady, what’s wrong?"
Ah! Mom called my name!
But… it still felt like her voice was colder than usual.
Indeed, she was upset…
"I want to be close to Mom" "Like with Sister Red Pupil, to gently pat my daughter’s head" — the request I wanted to make to Mom got stuck in my throat.
In the end, I still couldn’t say it.
Is it still not enough?
Hmm, it must be like that; I need to become stronger!
After some more time…
If I wait a little longer, my level will surpass Sister Red Pupil’s!
Just as I was thinking this and putting in more effort in battle, the "bad news" arrived.
Red Pupil hunted a Class A Monster and captured it alive!
The Iron Armored Ant has strong defense and impressive attack, so it has a better chance of capturing a Class A Monster alive compared to Military Ants, without losing any member of the ant colony.
It seems I have fallen behind again…
Army Lady also lost her desire to hunt. She took her Exploration Team Ants and hurried back to the castle.
…
…
When Lin Yu rode down the stairs on Little Tear, she saw a rhino-like monster with three horns, its limbs broken, lying on the floor of the castle hall.
She instinctively assessed it.
Ah! It is a Level 2 Class A Monster!
Not only are its attributes very high, but it also possesses some impressive-looking skills.
"Mom, we are back."
A soft, tender voice roused Lin Yu from her scrutiny of the monster’s condition.
Behind the Class A Monster stood a small squad of about twenty, composed of Iron Armored Ants, Acid Ants, and Earth Digging Ants. At the forefront of this ant assembly was the largest Iron Armored Ant.
"Did you manage to capture this Class A Monster alive?" Lin Yu inquired, just as Army Lady returned to the castle.
A wave of relief washed over her.
Indeed, capturing a Class A Monster alive would be a challenge for a single ant—just as Army Lady was pondering this.
"No, Mom, we merely assisted in encircling the enemy," came the reply.
"It was Sister Red Pupil who truly vanquished the monster!"
"We hadn’t even engaged yet; Sister, after her Magnification, subdued it in an instant."
"Sister is incredibly strong!"
Before Red Pupil could respond, the ants behind her eagerly chimed in, each vying to answer.
"Well done, Little Pupil," Lin Yu praised her, a rare occurrence in the presence of the other ants.
"Fantastic! She can finally ascend to Class A!"
"And truly, Red Pupil is remarkable; she appears almost unscathed after defeating a Class A Monster."
"With this Class A Monster, Mom should be able to level up, right?"
"Yes."
Just as Lin Yu was on the verge of stepping forward to deliver the final blow to the weakened Class A Monster, Red Pupil swiftly positioned herself in front of Lin Yu.
"Did my daughter achieve something significant this time?"
"Hmm, what’s the matter?"
"Can Mom stroke her daughter’s head once more?"
She leaned down, bringing her large head closer.
So it’s for a reward…
Performing such affectionate gestures in front of the other daughters feels a tad awkward…
But who can blame Mom when she’s in such high spirits~
Lin Yu extended her white forelimb and gently placed it on Red Pupil’s head.
Pat, pat…
"Sister got petted."
"I’m so envious…"
"I also wish Mom would…"
Around them, a soft murmur of conversations buzzed.
At that moment, something suddenly zipped out of the castle’s main entrance, startling the two Earth Digging Ants who were about to enter and see what was happening.
What happened to that ant? Why did she suddenly run out?
That is Sister Army Lady.
Do you know her?
Yes, you don’t know because you were just born. Sister Army Lady is the strongest ant after Sister Red Pupil.
…
Seeing that more and more ants had gathered to watch, Lin Yu quickly stopped patting her head.
She walked around Red Pupil and approached the Class A Monster.
Red Pupil straightened up, glanced at Army Lady as she ran away, her eyes calm, lost in thought.
In fact, when they first found the Class A Monster, it was already severely injured, so Red Pupil was able to easily subdue it.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu launched an attack on the Class A Monster.
Although the Class A Monster had very little Health Value left, its Physical Resistance Ability was still active, and a regular attack would probably take some time to defeat it.
So, Lin Yu used "Magnification."
Her body suddenly grew to about four times its original size, and her massive jaws bit down hard on the Class A Monster’s neck.
Thud—
Blood splattered.
The monster no longer struggled; its Health Value reached zero.
Experience Value gained and qualifications met; class upgraded, level increased.
Class B upgraded to Class A, level LV.40 reset to LV.1, all stats restored.
Choose one of three blessings: ① Acquire skill "Mind Freeze" ② Acquire skill "Rain Nourishment" ③ Acquire skill "Transformation"
Please choose your blessing.
I really leveled up!!
It feels like achieving a goal after three years, bringing a sense of satisfaction and ease.
Please choose your blessing.
Okay, okay.
Let me see what skill I have gained this time.
Let’s start with the first one…
"Mind Freeze": Target a specific individual and put them in a state where they cannot think. The success rate of this skill and the duration of the effect depend on many factors.
It’s a control skill!
Currently, the only skills with control effects in the Ant Tribe are the corrosive acid of the Acid Ant and the "Swamp" skill of the Earth Digging Ant.
"Swamp": Turns the ground in a specified area into a small swamp made of mud.
The effect of the "Swamp" skill held by the Earth Digging Ant is actually quite delicate; if the area is too small, the enemy can easily escape, but if it’s too large, it limits Team Ant’s movements, and the larger the area, the more Magic Value it costs.
The "Mind Freeze" skill is much stronger than "Swamp". If the target cannot think… it means that during this time, the enemy cannot use skills or respond in any way.
In a one-on-one battle, if this skill can be successfully used, it may turn the tide of the battle in an instant.
Next is the following skill.
"Rain Nourishment": A rare mid-level healing magic that can restore a certain amount of Health Value to the target.
A skill that restores Health Value!
Wow, I really want this one too! With this skill, the exploration team’s casualties will be greatly reduced!
However, the last skill seems even more intriguing…
The gaze moves to its skill description.
"Transformation": When activated, the caster’s appearance will change into a human form.
