Chapter 145 Failure is the Mother of Success
Before even arriving at the beach, Shinaro had already found out that there were three little pets setting up a arena to earn loot.
Doro only accepts 1v3 battles.
And these three debuted as a group.
It's essentially a fair 1v1 match...
Watching the battle from a high vantage point, Shinaro analyzed the information clearly and accurately calculated the quantitative data and combination characteristics of the Doro.
[Level: lv20-lv25]
【属性：一般系】
[Skills: Guard, Substitute, Poison, Absorb Punch]
Its moveset is defensive, and its offensive capabilities are relatively weak.
But they are so cute!
With her chubby figure, pink hair that looks incredibly cute, and soft, adorable face, she's a charming little girl.
Looking closely at the Doro, especially the seemingly silly Doro, Shinaro's girlish heart is almost melted.
A tingling sensation in my chest
A blush appeared on her cheeks.
Hina Luo should calm down as soon as possible, maintain her strong demeanor, and preserve her aloof and cold temperament.
"Little guy, are you the captain?"
Restraining her girlish heart, Shinaro reverted to her aloof demeanor and first asked Doraemon a question.
Doraemon was able to understand that the other person was actually very friendly.
He raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a sincere smile.
It nodded in response: "Yes! My name is Doraemon, and the people next to me are my companions Dorothy and Donas."
Doro introduced himself.
Recalling the information in the pet encyclopedia, Hina nodded, her arms crossed, exuding an even more condescending aura.
"My name is Shinaro."
"It is a shark-headed earth dragon, my pet beast."
"Are you three little guys willing to accept the Shark-Headed Earth Dragon challenge?"
Getting straight to the point, Hina is never slow in battle; she's a decisive and efficient businesswoman.
Upon hearing this, Doraemon didn't hesitate at all.
It immediately nodded in agreement.
Setting up a challenge is about accepting challenges; there's no reason to refuse.
Doro has a frank personality, meaning he can accept both winning and losing.
Donas didn't care whether she lost the spoils.
From the moment it caught sight of the shark-headed earth dragon half a minute ago, a strong fighting spirit ignited in its heart!
A monster that looks like a dragon...
If I beat it, I'll go back and brag to Alvin, and I'll definitely get praised, right?
Memories of Arwen's graceful and heroic figure battling the dragon flashed through my mind.
Donas's fighting spirit is rising!
The little paws gripped the hilt of the toy sword tightly.
It examined the shark-headed earth dragon from top to bottom.
Donas used the identification techniques taught to her by Alvin to search for the weaknesses of the Shark-headed Earth Dragon.
Constantly scrutinized by warlike gazes, the shark-headed earth dragon raised its head and roared, emitting a piercing dragon's cry in an attempt to intimidate its opponents.
Donas is bold.
It's not afraid!
The whistling sound, however, caused harm to innocent bystanders.
A chorus of heartbroken sighs erupted from the audience on the beach.
Seeing this, Shinaro snapped her fingers, signaling the shark-headed earth dragon to be quiet.
The robust and mighty shark-headed earth dragon instantly transformed into an adorable baby.
"Awoo~"
The big guy was whimpering like a little puppy...
Dorothy, who had been silent until now, adjusted her glasses and spoke.
"We refuse your challenge."
With a firm stance, Dorothy stepped back, blocking the spoils she had just painstakingly earned.
Doro didn't understand its thoughts, "Why are you refusing?"
"I disagree!" Donas quickly objected.
It's rare for the doro to disagree.
Dorothy frowned.
It was too lazy to explain to the simpleton and the martial arts fanatic for the time being.
However, Shinaro smiled faintly and pointedly remarked for Dorothy, "Are you worried that I'll take your spoils?"
"If you're setting up a challenge to fight, you should be able to win and lose gracefully."
"Are you guys just sore losers, little Doro?"
Hina's gaze swept over the little ones one by one.
Doro is immune to provocation because it has determined that the blonde woman in front of it is a good person. While tone of voice can be faked, body scent cannot be concealed; a request for battle from her is seen by Doro as a form of friendship.
Keep smiling, raise the corners of your mouth, and show off your bright white teeth.
Doro's innocent expression suggested that he wasn't very bright.
In contrast, Donas
It was furious!
"Who's the sore loser? I accept your challenge."
Donas held her longsword horizontally, exuding a fierce aura, ready to engage in battle at any moment.
Dorothy, standing nearby, sensed something was wrong...
Oops!
It seems like all my work this morning was for nothing.
Dorothy got nervous, biting her little paws in worry, wondering how to persuade Doraemon and Donas.
Hina was unwilling to waste time.
She immediately ordered the shark-headed earth dragon to prepare for battle, promising Dorothy benefits she couldn't refuse.
"One game decides the outcome."
"The stakes are the three candies I have, and all your spoils from this morning."
"As the challenger, I will pay you 30,000 RMB as the fee for this challenge. Regardless of the outcome, the fee will belong to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shinaro pulled out three stacks of money and handed them to Dorothy.
Oh?
Surprised that she could make money, Dorothy pouted into an "o" shape, her big eyes shining brightly.
"It's a deal! No going back on your word!"
Dorothy quickly stretched out her paw.
He grabbed a wad of cash in one hand.
He even used his teeth to hold onto the last wad of banknotes.
If there's money to be made, who cares about the spoils of war?
All the spoils from my busy morning today were donkey testicles and horse testicles!
Dorothy knew all too well how important money was.
With plenty of money, you can buy whatever you want and never worry about not having gifts to bring back for others.
With her ability to easily manipulate the three doro's psychology, Shinaro was secretly pleased and couldn't help but imagine what their owner would be like.
To raise the little ones to have distinct personalities and be sunny and cheerful.
She must be a very kind breeder, right?
No more distractions
Shinaro made room for the shark-headed earth dragon to fight.
"Use {Sandstorm} in the first round."
"Use {Dragon Star Cluster} in the second round."
Before the battle even began, Shinaro announced her strategy, revealing her hand.
Donas felt slighted...
It acted impulsively, letting impulse override reason, and completely forgot the strategy they had agreed upon earlier.
"I'll go first!"
Without allowing Dorothy to dissuade her, Donas drew her sword, charged up her strength, and unleashed the {Absorption Fist} at the same time.
Although it is irrational, its fighting talent remains.
The sword swing was merely a feint, intended to distract the opponent.
The Sharkhead Earth Dragon's racial intelligence is far inferior to that of Doro.
It was indeed attracted by the toy sword.
"Thump."
The shark-headed earth dragon raised its arm to block the toy sword, but was instead struck hard in the abdomen by Donas's fist.
He has a muscular upper body, strong lower limbs, and a slender waist and abdomen.
The waist and abdomen, which serve as the connection point between the upper body and lower limbs, were the weak points of the shark-headed earthworm.
{Absorption Punch} targets weaknesses.
It dealt a critical hit!
Donas dealt double damage to the Shark-headed Earth Dragon with a single attack.
Unfortunately,
The battle situation was completely under Shinaro's control.
"Ouch~"
Donas jumped back to her original spot and quickly opened her mouth to hold the claw, using her saliva to relieve the swelling and pain.
Dorothy was shocked to discover that Donas was injured, although the injury was not very serious.
"Is it an embossed helmet?"
The clever Dorothy hit the nail on the head.
Doro, confused, scratched his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"The Concave Helmet is a battle item! The item we carry in battle is the Orunji, while the Shark-Headed Earth Dragon's item is called the Concave Helmet. The item's effect is to reflect damage, and the HP recovery from {Absorb Punch} is not even as much as the damage caused by the reflected damage, so attacking it is the same as attacking ourselves!" Dorothy sighed softly, feeling more and more helpless the more she explained, and defeat was inevitable.
After withstanding Donas's attack
Next, it was the shark-headed earth dragon's turn to retaliate.
I see,
The Shark-Headed Earth Dragon uses the skill {Sandstorm}.
A sandstorm suddenly formed on the surrounding beaches.
The flying sand obstructed their vision, making it impossible for Doraemon and Donas to open their eyes. The sand slapped against their bodies in the wind, causing a slight pain.
Worried that his companions would get hurt,
Without hesitation, Doraemon unleashed his {Guard} skill.
In sandstorm environments, the Shark-headed Earth Dragon possesses the {Sand Cloak} ability. Its speed doubles, making it much faster than Doraemon.
Just one second before Yu Doraemon used {Guard},
The shark-headed earth dragon leaped into the air.
flapping its fins from above,
It unleashed a shower of dragon breath meteors at the doro.
The crackling sounds emanated from within a radius of several meters around the little ones.
Donas: "Ouch! That hurts a little!"
Dorothy: "Help..."
Doraemon: "We give up!"
Faced with an all-around saturation bombardment of dragon breath, the three doro all lay down and dug sand pits to hide in perfect unison, their movements clumsy and awkward.
In fact, the Doro are all still capable of fighting.
HP is still 2/3 intact.
Although she couldn't win, she could at least hold out for several rounds, since Dorothy hadn't even used her Stand to save herself.
However, with Huang Musong not around, the Doro lacked a leader.
The dragon's breath and the crackling sound of the meteors were so loud they hurt their ears!
Loss of fighting spirit
Even Donas admitted defeat.
The little ones huddled together under the newly dug sandpit, their chubby, round bottoms sticking out.
Dorothy, Donas, and Dorothy borne the {Dragon Star Cluster} with their thickest buttocks...
Realizing that the battle was over, Shinaro raised her hand and summoned the shark-headed earth dragon back.
It's inherently unfair to pit a level 99 pet against a level 30 or lower creature.
Even though Shinaro had privately ordered the Shark-Headed Earth Dragon to perform at only 20% of its potential,
It still gives off a sense of the strong bullying the weak!
Shinaro would never bully any doro. She clapped her hands a few times to indicate that the battle was over, then walked to the sandpit, squatted down, and comforted the little guys.
"So you lost?"
"Will you be sad if you lose the battle?"
She asked that on purpose.
The idea was to let Dorothy, who was the most emotionally vulnerable, have a good cry first.
Then cheer her up.
Losing is definitely upsetting, and keeping it bottled up for too long can easily lead to a buildup of negative emotions!
As a seasoned pet breeder, Hina Robbie Huang Musong has experience in raising animals and understands Dorothy thoroughly from their first meeting.
Dorothy carefully crawled out of the sandpit.
Once it was certain the battle was truly over, it wiped its lenses and shook its head at Shinaro, indicating that it wasn't upset about the defeat at all.
"Failure is the mother of success," Dorothy muttered casually.
defeated?
I don't care~
As long as I can make money, that's all that matters!
Dorothy turned and reached into her bag, checking carefully. After confirming that the 30,000 yuan of otherworldly currency was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly.
Donas was a beat slower as she climbed out of the sandpit.
Eyes squinted
It examined the enormous shark-headed earth dragon with increasing detail.
"strangeness!"
Judging from the size difference, Donas felt that the opponent's strength was far less than one percent of the dragon's.
Arwen was able to kill the dragon with her swordsmanship.
Why can't I even win?
Once I get back, I must train diligently and learn kung fu from Alvin!
Donas pondered deeply, secretly making a vow to herself...
