Chapter 58 Mount Training Ground

Diandian became a big star in the yard. Clearly, it was just an ordinary little chick, that almost every household in Luhua village had, but it still attracted those little brats to surround the flower greenhouse. Every move Diandian made would make them gasp in amazement as if they were observing a giant panda.

Unable to touch Diandian made Little Rat feel gloomy. “Brother Yu, when can you let Diandian out?” Little Rat whined. He then carried on, “keep it inside all day long will make it feel very lonely. And why don’t you raise some more? Shall I grab two chicks from my home, so Diandian could have some friends?”

‘Raise more? He thinks playing with Gashapon machine is easy?’ There were plenty of wooden timbers and ores. That silly kid had no idea how much Moe Coins the damn Gashapon machine taken from him. Zhou Yu was so frustrated that he almost wanted to smash it into pieces and take out all the money he had put in.

“Raise one first, and then more if this one didn’t die.”

Zhou Yu’s words made Little Rat completely speechless. He was really a demonic vegetable abuser. He even wanted to torture a veggie chick (AKA newbie in Chinese) as well. However, Little Rat could only pray for this lovely little chick that it would not become the next victim of Zhou Yu.

Diandian was actually a really fun animal. It was very different from other animals. In the eyes of the ACG world, although all animals became animated, all they did all day was acting cute. There were no other special changes. But Diandian was quite different. Although it couldn’t speak, it could display strange dialog boxes with black texts and white background. It was just like the dialog boxes in manga.

The text box above Diandian was not Diandian’s words, but it could reflect its current mood. For example, if Zhou Yu forgot to feed it, a dialog box would jump out and display `Diandian is hungry, Diandian is angry’. If Zhou Yu played with it. The box would display `Diandian is happy’. In the evening, if it wanted to sleep, the box would display ‘Diandian is tired. And Diandian is saying goodnight to you.’

It was a very polite little fellow.

However, in the eyes of reality, it had no other characteristics besides being well-behaved. Zhou Yu didn’t even understand why it would be so popular amongst children.

………………………

Zhou Yu didn’t know if it was because of the strange feed that he collected or the astonishing growth rate of the little chick, but in half a month’s time, Diandian was as high as Jack Mouse. Half of its feathers also changed. But it was no longer as well-behaved as when it was just born. It began to run around making troubles everywhere.

The pub was made of wood. There were now many holes around it. And all of them were made by Diandian. In the end, he had to pay the beaver to repair it. And there was a landscape tree that was planted in the middle of the greenhouse. It was also pecked by Diandian. It was extremely bad that all the leaves had fallen off the tree trunks. If it was not blocked by the half-meter-high wall of a pub, Mini Luhua village would have been tormented by it already.

Facing this situation, Jack finally said that Diandian could move to the Mount House lest once it could fly, it would cause troubles everywhere. At that time, it would be very hard for them to clean up what Diandian did. But there was one thing that he had repeatedly stressed. It was that Diandian was a noble mount. It could not be used as a toy of those “little giants”.

The so-called little giants were Little Rat and his minions. With Diandian’s popularity, they would definitely want to play with Diandian, after it was let out of the greenhouse. And that would not be good for Diandian at all. In addition to that, in order to make Diandian an excellent mount, a training ground was also needed.

Mount training ground was a complementary building of the pub. So as long as there were trainers, it could be built without further purchase. Jack, the owner of the pub, was an animal trainer himself, so all he had to do was to pay the beavers the construction fee. However, there was a problem. It was that the training ground was relatively large. It simply couldn’t fit inside the flower greenhouse. It could only be built in the yard.

The site that Zhou Yu chose was next to the Knight’s Mount House. Using the wooden fences to surround the Mount House and an empty area near it. And then placing the various training equipment that was made by the carpenter beaver and the stonemason monkey, and lastly, leveling the land, a perfect training ground for animals appeared.

The most important thing in the training ground was the runway that had obstacles, balance beam, plum blossom poles, high wall, tunnel, high platform… The runway was full of those things and it looked like a military training ground. It seemed that it would not be easy to become a real mount. It had to undergo the same rigorous training as a soldier.

With such a big area being surrounded in the yard, surely, it would attract a lot of attention. Little Rat and his minions were curiously surrounding the place outside the fence, watching Brother Yu using his hoe and shovel to build something that looked like a training ground bit by bit.

It did look like a training ground, but for whom? The tallest wall was no more than a meter high. It was just like a tall hurdle to those kids. Even small children couldn’t play in it, let alone those adults. Those plum blossom poles were so thin, that anyone would fall off it if they attempted to stand on them.

But soon, those kids had answers. Brother Yu opened the door of the flower greenhouse and took out Diandian and put it in the training ground.

Holy shit! They had heard of training monkeys and training dogs, but they had never heard of training chickens. Brother’s imagination was off the charts. With such complicated training ground, could the little chick, with small brain capacity, even understand what to do?

However, what those kids saw next made them gasp in amazement.

When Diandian entered the training ground, it began to run happily like a wild horse. It had been restrained in that small Chinese quadrangle for quite some time. Now that, it was let out into a relatively vast small world, naturally it needed to let it all out.

However, it also indeed did not know how to use the training equipment. It could only walk around them curiously and try to peck them from time to time. At this time, Jack Mouse also arrived. Looking at the training ground, it was very satisfied. With this training ground, it said that it would not be a problem to train an excellent mount.

After getting familiar with the new environment, the training began.

Training started out very easy. The first day of the training did not need to master any difficult skills. All Diandian needed to do was to run a few laps in the small circle that was without any obstacles.

However, even if it was a simple training like this. It was more than enough to make those little brats stunned. Holy moly, this little chick’s IQ was as high as the sky! Under Brother Yu’s instructions, it really didn’t run out of the runway in a single step.

Zhou Yu indeed gave instructions, but the real instructor was Jack Mouse. Children could not see Jack, so they could only attribute everything to Brother Yu.

‘Is he still the demonic vegetable abuser?’

Without whips or food reward, he could still make a little chick to follow his command without any problems. He was exactly like a Legendary Super trainer.

Now the reputation of Diandian became even greater. Every day, the children, who come to watch Diandian’s training and cheered for it on the side of the training ground, always formed a circle. Looking at this scene, it was a bit like a big star in a concert, and the fans blow the stage cheered constantly.

It was a shame, that brother Yu still did not allow anyone to hug Diandian. Even the training ground was also strictly prohibited from entering.

However, Little Rat knew how to work around the rules. He went home and brought back a chick and threw it into the training ground. Since they couldn’t go in. However about another little chick. He also hoped that his chick would be as smart as Diandian after it was trained in the training ground.

But he did not expect that the meeting of the two chicks instantly ignited a war.
