[Happy New Year]
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Biscuit, have you ever considered leaving this place? Leaving this park with your clan and joining me in a wider world."
"Are you suggesting that you want to adopt us?" Biscuit seemed somewhat surprised. After all, he wasn't the first person to approach it with the desire to make contact, especially after learning about its cursed talent. And it certainly wouldn't be the last, considering it had inadvertently caused the deaths of several friends.
Chu Tian shook his head nonchalantly and said with a smile, "I believe there's a way to avoid that, don't you think?"
Biscuit didn't respond with words but instead looked at its fellow clan members who had finished cleaning up the goblin corpses. The leader and two subordinates of the werewolf clan had also returned, carrying several goblin heads and bearing injuries from a fierce battle.
"Master, the families of the warriors are safe," the werewolf leader said, casting a surprised glance at Chu Tian as he sat beside Biscuit. It seemed that they hadn't expected to see Chu Tian here again.
"Just now, a Goblin Chieftain appeared here, and Chu Tian helped defeat it," Biscuit explained. The two werewolf subordinates and the leader expressed their amazement. They noticed that Chu Tian, once a C-rank talent, had now reached B-rank, although they didn't comment further. After exchanging a few words with Biscuit, they left with their clan members and the goblin corpses they had collected.
Once the werewolves had all left, Chu Tian looked at Biscuit with a smile and asked, "So, what do you think, my friend?"
"I don't want to harm you and the people around you," Biscuit replied, still shaking its head. It seemed that despite a hint of interest it sensed in Chu Tian, it wasn't willing to accept his proposal.
Chu Tian wasn't in a hurry; after all, he planned to stay here for four days, so he had time.
Leaving the park, Chu Tian decided to return to the abandoned building that had served as his temporary base. About a street away from the building, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
Using his psychic perception, Chu Tian identified the person as Liu Wei. At that moment, Liu Wei was surrounded by a dozen or so Fire-Tailed Rats.
Liu Wei held his signature black Tang knife, guarding himself carefully against the rats' attacks. However, it seemed that the Fire-Tailed Rats didn't want to test Liu Wei's defenses any longer. Suddenly, one of them emitted a series of "chirping" sounds and leaped toward Liu Wei.
Liu Wei raised his black Tang knife to strike the approaching Fire-Tailed Rat. Just then, the surrounding air grew exceptionally cold. Liu Wei initially disregarded it and successfully cut the first rat in half. However, he soon noticed that the remaining Fire-Tailed Rats had inexplicably turned into ice sculptures, which subsequently shattered into ice fragments.
Chu Tian appeared, making a sound as he stepped on something, and Liu Wei turned to see Chu Tian smiling at him.
Liu Wei was surprised and grateful, "Thank you. I didn't expect you to save me for the third time."
"I just happened to be passing by," Chu Tian replied casually.
Liu Wei sheathed his black Tang knife and said, "We can't stay here any longer. Two Fire-Tailed Rats that attacked me earlier may have gone to gather reinforcements. We should leave."
Chu Tian nodded in agreement. While the Fire-Tailed Rats weren't individually powerful, they were formidable in groups, often numbering in the dozens or even hundreds. Liu Wei had heard stories of a ten-person mercenary team being almost wiped out by thousands of Fire-Tailed Rats. This highlighted how dangerous D-rank monsters could be when they worked together.
After spending the night at their temporary base, Chu Tian woke up the next day and found that his system had completed an upgrade.
While Liu Wei prepared breakfast, Chu Tian sat down to examine his newly upgraded system. The changes were significant.
First, the system had removed the limitation on the number of talent slots for copying talents. Chu Tian could now copy an unlimited number of talents without any quantity restrictions.
Additionally, a new function had been added, which was talent removal. This function could forcibly remove talents from others, making their talents disappear. It was a powerful ability, but it came with limitations. Each person could only remove one talent from another person.
Chu Tian thought about Biscuit, the Alaskan leader that had become the leader of the werewolf clan, as he considered the potential uses for this new ability.
Finished with breakfast, Chu Tian greeted Liu Wei and left the building. He leaped into the air and flew towards the children's park.
Observing Chu Tian's departure, Liu Wei felt a
