Chapter 118 Are You Aloof?! _3
It was during the training period at the preparatory camp that they were teammates, otherwise Lin Su definitely would not have shared this kind of information with them.
This was the firsthand intelligence on the completely new evolution of a brand-new race!
"The change is pretty significant," Lin Su nodded in agreement, "First of all, my pet beast awoke a Talent Skill called 'Magic Pocket'."
Magic Pocket wasn't something that had just awakened recently in his pet beast, but it had kept it hidden previously, so every time it used this skill, it was done in a secretive manner, which wasn't very convenient. Now, with evolution as an excuse, this skill could be disclosed publicly, and in the future, it wouldn't be an issue for the pet beast to take out items openly.
This was what Lin Su thought of after his pet beast evolved.
"Magic Pocket?"
Facing this unfamiliar skill name, everyone frowned after hearing it, showing a thoughtful expression, but after a while, they all shook their heads.
There was no such skill in their memories.
"I'm aware of quite a few skills, but I have never heard of this Magic Pocket," Xing Yun shook his head slightly, "Is it a unique Talent Skill of this pet beast? What's its use?"
"Magic Pocket is a storage skill," Lin Su smiled, "This skill doesn't have any attack power, but it can carry various items additionally. With my pet beast's current situation, the space inside Magic Pocket is about as big as two wardrobes."
"Storage?!" Xing Yun stopped processing the rest of the conversation after he heard the word "storage", "Is your pet beast space-attributed?"
He then shook his head vigorously, "No, no, you said it evolved from dark attribute evolution, so it should still be dark attribute."
"Yes, my pet beast is still pure dark attribute, without any other attributes," Lin Su smiled, "Storage is simply a characteristic of this skill; it's unrelated to the space attribute."
"Great!" After the initial shock, Xing Yun nodded vigorously.
He had already realized the importance of this skill.
In battle, having such a skill can reduce the burden of carrying items for the squad, thus improving the mobility of the team.
"You're saying this skill has the space of two wardrobes?" Xing Yun looked around and then pointed at a large stone in the corner, "Can you fit that inside so I can see?"
"Sure." Lin Su nodded, then exchanged a glance with his pet beast.
The pet beast quickly moved forward, waved its hand casually, and the black flame burst out suddenly, enveloping the stone swiftly. The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, the stone, a meter tall, disappeared just like that with ease.
It was as magical as if performing a magic trick.
Then, with a flick of the pet beast's hand, the stone reappeared in its original place, landing with a heavy "thud."
Just from this demonstration alone, envious expressions couldn't help but appear on the faces of Xing Yun's team members.
This skill, although it lacked attack power, was just too convenient!
Imagine if they also had such a pet beast, wouldn't they be able to go anywhere empty-handed, asking for whatever they needed from their pet beast at any time?
The key point was that having a personal space was really cool!
"This skill is really practical!" After personally confirming the storage capability of the skill, Xing Yun couldn't help but nod, "And in a little while, during the preparatory camp combat assignments, your skill will be quite useful."
"Ah?" Lin Su blinked.
He had his pet beast reveal this skill just to make it more convenient for him to fetch items later on.
He had thought that the skill wouldn't be very useful in missions, but it seemed that wasn't the case?
Immediately, he realized that this was a perfect opportunity to inquire about that so-called combat mission, and he hurriedly spoke up, "Instructor! How can this skill be of use?"
The other members of Xing Yun's squad also came to the same realization and pricked up their ears to listen.
"Hehe," Xing Yun saw what everyone was thinking, but didn't say much and started to explain, "During the upcoming combat mission, you all will go to the frontier battlefront, not remain in the rear area where you are now."
"Before the mission is completed, you cannot leave the battlefront. Both fighting and resting will occur there. Unless you give up the mission, you cannot return halfway," Xing Yun's gaze swept over everyone, "So you need to bring quite a few things to the battlefront."
"Moreover, battlefield conditions change rapidly, so it's best to bring extra supplies into combat," Xing Yun said calmly, "But if you bring too many, the extra weight during combat can hinder your ability to fight, and even a small mistake could cost you your life. Therefore, combat personnel generally need to make a choice."
"Every time you go to the battlefield, determining how much supply to bring is crucial. Soldiers need to figure that out beforehand through practice to ensure they can fight more effectively and kill enemies on the battlefield."
Seeing Lin Su's look of understanding, Xing Yun chuckled, "With your beast companion, you can take a lot of extra supplies to the battlefield without worrying that the weight will affect the fighting. Don't underestimate this point; it can significantly increase your survival ability on the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, not only Lin Su but also the entire squad couldn't help but show their delight.
They could benefit from this as well!
"Lin Su, boss!" the squad's only female member, Han Yu, giggled, "Can you ask your Ghost to save some space for me when the time comes? This much is enough for me!"
As she spoke, she gestured the size of a backpack, then giggled, "I'll share my extra meals with Ghost for the next few days!"
"Right, right, right, my extra meals go to Ghost, too! Please save some space!"
"Me as well! Make sure Ghost saves some room for me too!"
"..."
A squad member's eyes lit up as he quickly piped up to reserve some storage space in Ghost.
"You all don't need to do this," Lin Su smiled, "We're all part of the same squad, helping each other out is natural. Ghost can't possibly eat that much. I'll reserve some space for everyone, rest assured; each of you will get a share."
Even for someone like him, completing the training camp mission was not something he could do alone; he also relied on his teammates.
And since Ghost's personal space was large, and besides packing some Energy Cubes for emergencies, he wouldn't need much else, which meant there would be plenty of space left over, so he was happy to help out.
Having heard Lin Su's words, the squad members smiled from ear to ear.
Within the team, Zhao Tianchen couldn't help but let out a slight sigh of relief.
When the others asked, he felt too embarrassed to speak up.
But he needed Ghost to carry some supplies for him as well.
Now that Lin Su had said so, there should be a share of this 'magic pocket' for him too.
He quietly glanced at his own companion, the Ashen Wolf, then turned his eyes to Ghost.
He didn't like owing others favors, so he had to repay this one.
Both his and Lin Su's beast companions shared the Dark attribute, so some of the Dark Energy Cubes meant for the Ashen Wolf could be shared with Ghost as a token of gratitude for helping him carry stuff.
Yes, that would be the plan.
Ashen Wolf: Are you putting on airs?!
