Chapter 3: The Dumb Method (Part 2)

  Lin Lei suddenly pounced over, directly grabbing the wild rabbits throat with one hand. All that could be heard was a crack sound, and the originally struggling wild rabbit twitched twice before becoming still. Ever since watching those two battles half a year ago, the bloodlust contained within the Dragon Blood Warriors bloodline had gradually begun to emerge.

  "Ive reached level one warrior and level one mage, but in terms of attack power, magic is still stronger." Lin Lei grasped the wild rabbit, unable to help but let out a sigh of admiration.

  Magicians are mainly divided into nine levels, and its relatively easy to become a first-level magician. However, as the level increases, more time is needed! Even many powerful seventh- and eighth-level magicians spend hundreds of years struggling to advance just one level.

  For a first-class magician, with good qualifications, it can be achieved in half a year. Even if the qualifications are not very good, as long as they meet the conditions for becoming a magician, they can become a first-class magician within two to three years.

  Grabbing the dead hare, Lin Lei directly ran down the mountain.

  "Lin Lei, why didnt you cook it thoroughly? This demonic beast Shadow Mouse likes meat, but roasted meat is its favorite." Dillin Kwovars voice echoed in Lin Leis mind.

  "De Lin grandpa, you shouldnt have spoiled any kids before, right?" Lin Lei said with a playful tone while running.

  Dellin Kowert was taken aback. He didnt have a grandson, and would a dignified Saint Domain mage go around coaxing children?

  "Ah, no." Drellin Kowert admitted.

  Lin Lei said confidently: "I often spoil Xiao Wotton, I tell you, when giving things to children, they cant be too good at first, otherwise the child will want better and better every time. Now that shadow mouse is eating stones, now Ill give it raw meat to eat, it must be very happy, first give it raw meat for 7 or 8 days, then Ill give it roasted meat, it must be even happier."

  Dellin Kwatra immediately understood.

  The elderly understand this principle, when governing subordinates, also do so, first give subordinates a little sweetness, and then give better ones later. Otherwise, giving too many benefits at once will make it difficult to satisfy subordinates later on.

  "Theres a principle in the book I read, its about raising monkeys. Three in the morning and four in the evening is much better than four in the morning and three in the evening," Lin Lei said with a chuckle.

  Dellin Kwalt suddenly felt that although Lin Lei was only eight and a half years old, he was no worse than some teenagers.

  "It seems that the education of the Baroque family is indeed effective." Delin Kowert thought to himself, education can open up wisdom, but most commoners do not have the ability to receive education. Some good magic academies and warrior academies, whether its the entrance requirements or tuition fees, are not something that ordinary commoners can afford.

  ……

  Catching a wild boar and bringing it home wouldnt even raise an eyebrow in Wushan Town. In fact, ever since Lin Lei mastered the Earth Piercer technique, he had often brought back some wild boars to his home.

  "Lin Lei young master is really impressive, caught another wild rabbit." The townspeople said with a smile.

  Lin Lei also smiled politely as he walked on the street.

  "I dont know if that stray cat will eat things given by others."

  Taking a deep breath, Lin Lei stepped into the back of the family mansion, quietly approaching the place where Shadow Mouse was, with each step making no sound at all. Just a moment later, Lin Lei arrived at that place once again.

  "What about the Shadow Mouse?" Lin Lei looked towards Gu Yans courtyard, where there were only some broken stones and withered fallen leaves.

  Some scratch marks of the pebbles were still there, but after searching the entire old house yard, there was no sign of Shadow Mouse. Lin Lei felt a wave of disappointment and distress in his heart: "Grandpa De Lin, Shadow Mouse is gone! Its only been an hour, has Shadow Mouse left?"

  A flash of light flew out from the Dragon Ring, transforming into a moon-white long gown-clad Delingkovar.

  Dellin Kowerts brow furrowed as well: "That cant be right, the Shadowmouse was just here an hour ago?"

  Suddenly——

  "Ka-chu, ka-chu~~" The familiar faint gnawing sound started again. Lin Leis eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards a withered old house next to him. He arrived at the doorstep and clearly saw that black shadow mouse constantly moving around, gnawing at stones, just like a sculptor, turning one stone into strange shapes.

  Lin Lei stood at the doorstep.

  "Bang!" Lin Lei deliberately kicked the doorstep with his foot, making a slight noise.

  "Psst!"

  The black shadow mouse suddenly moved, and in an instant it dodged to more than ten meters away. Two shiny black eyes stared in the direction of the threshold, and in an instant they saw Lin Lei, with a look of vigilance in their eyes.

  "Come, Ill give you something to eat."

  Lin Lei smiled slightly at the demon beast Shadow Mouse, and then threw the wild rabbit onto the threshold. Shadow Mouse may not understand human language, but Lin Lei understood... Demon beasts with higher IQ should understand the meaning of a smile.

  After all, demons are not beasts, their wisdom is only slightly lower than that of humans, and some powerful demons are even more cunning.

  "Dont be impatient, dont be impatient." Lin Lei consoled himself in his heart, and then he forcibly endured the reluctance to leave directly.

  The monster Shadow Mouse saw Lin Lei leave, then looked at the wild rabbit, and after waiting for a while, it couldnt bear to rush towards the door sill in an instant. At this moment, Lin Lei had already walked far away. Looking at the wild rabbit in front of him again, the Shadow Mouse suddenly stood up excitedly and jumped up happily.

  "Squeak squeak~~~" The mouse in the Warcraft movie let out a happy cry.

  Then it quickly started to tear and bite the wild rabbit meat, its sharp teeth tearing and biting extremely fast. Dont look at the demon beast Shadow Mouse being small in size, but a wild rabbit bigger than its body, except for the fur, was actually eaten clean by this demon beast Shadow Mouse, not even leaving any bone residue.

  "Gulp..." Xiaoyings throat moved slightly, then she patted her own belly in a very human-like manner, getting extremely excited.

  Stones compared to flesh and blood are obviously much less delicious.

  After eating, Xiaoying Mouse looked in the direction Lin Lei left, and in the young Xiaoying Mouses heart, his good impression of that boy immediately increased. After all, he was just born not long ago and was still a magical beast cub, and even in Xiaoying Mouses heart, there was some expectation, would that boy give him another wild rabbit?

  That evening, before dinner.

  "I dont know if that little shadow mouse will eat it." Lin Lei was currently walking among the old houses in the backyard, heading straight for the courtyard where he had lost his wild rabbit in the afternoon.

  "Lin Lei, dont worry, its just a young magical beast, its bark is worse than its bite." Deling Kwortes chuckling voice echoed in Lin Leis mind.

  Lin Lei also nodded slightly, and in just a moment, he walked to the threshold. There were some rabbit skins stained with blood at the threshold, but there was no flesh or bones of the rabbits left. Seeing this scene, Lin Leis eyes lit up instantly.

  "Thats great!" Lin Lei clenched his fist.

  The first step is successful, and whats needed next is persistence!

  The next afternoon, Lin Lei killed a wild rabbit and a mountain chicken. He left the wild rabbit for Xi Ri Grandpa to roast and eat at night, while the mountain chicken was directly placed in the old place - the threshold of the old house courtyard last time.

  "This demon beast Shadow Mouse is actually staring at me right now." Lin Lei smiled and looked at the Shadow Mouse in the courtyard, which was staring back at him.

  "Lin Lei, it seems the situation is not bad. It didnt immediately run away from you, which means its hostility towards you has decreased." Delin Kowert also secretly felt happy for Lin Lei upon seeing this scene. Being able to meet a young version of such a formidable magical beast was indeed good luck.

  "I really dont know what happened to this little Shadowmouses parents." Derrin Kowert also wondered secretly.

  Lin Lei threw the pheasant at the doorstep, said two words to Xiaoying Mouse, smiled and retreated as before, but this time he didnt leave directly. Instead, he walked away while looking back. The little mouse came out after a while, looked around, saw Lin Lei in the distance, and wasnt too scared. It lowered its head and started pecking at the pheasant.

  ……

  The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...

  These days continued, Lin Lei still meditated and cultivated every day, while also often sending wild rabbits to feed the little Shadow Mouse. The entire Wushan Town, including Huo Ge and Xi Erman, did not know that Lin Lei was cultivating magic. Similarly, they also did not know that Lin Lei was taking care of a magical beast with fourth-level strength since its infancy!

  Only Dillin Kwovart, who had watched Lin Lei grow up, understood clearly.

  "This small town of Wushan, cannot hold Lin Lei back." Looking at Lin Lei who was meditating and accumulating magical power, Delin Kowerts face had a hint of expectation, "One day, he will set foot on the vast stage of the entire Yulan continent with a mature purple shadow mouse."
