The Cub I've Raised is the Crown Prince of the EmpireCh32.2 - Troubled Jun Lu

Just by looking at him, there was a kind of healing feeling.

Yu Xingqiao slowly exhaled a breath. P63Ox7

The unpleasant memories that were previously in his mind were completely forgotten in a blink of an eye and he felt in a better mood than ever before.

Ai, he could watch his cub sleep all day and not get tired of it!

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yu Xingqiao leaned forward with his hands on his cheeks, watching the cub sleep for a full ten minutes before he snapped to attention.

He also knew that the cub was always in danger, even though the cradle could provide him with some shelter, the cub couldn’t always stay in it. HiJ dO

He had to go offline at about 5:30 pm and coincidentally it was morning in the game during that time.

For normal people, such game design was actually reasonable. After all, people generally have to work during the day and could only play the game at night.

It was just a pity that this setting was not suitable for Yu Xingqiao and the game company couldn’t change it for him alone. Therefore, when the cub goes out in the morning, he could barely join him.

He had to try to improve his cub’s strength when he sleeps to avoid him from getting hurt.

The thing that could directly improve his strength was naturally the skill tree.

Yu Xingqiao opened the skill tree and looked at it.

The skills that the cub had currently mastered was a total of two Lv5 primary skills which were [Shadow Tentacles] and [Shadow Binding]. Additionally, a Lv3 advanced skill [Shadow Cage].

There were still 3 more Lv1 skills left, which were the middle-level skill [Shadow Sneak], and the high-level skills of [Shadow Tracking] and [Shadow Manipulation]. BJqjYr

As for the source point, adding up the source points earned by the cub the previous day and today through the [Hunting and Anti-hunting] chain of tasks, there were a total of 192 points.

Yu Xingqiao felt like his head was going bald.

Because the further one advances, the source power needed to upgrade would become higher. For example, for the high level skills from Lv1 to Lv2, it directly shot up to 40 points, double the amount needed compared to middle level skills.

Moving on, this was a test of distributing the source power reasonably. ti3rVF

Would there be any strategy guide online?

Yu Xingqiao was just about to check but after thinking about it, his cub was unique, the whole game only had one of him, how could others have a cheat sheet for him?

He could only give up and analyse the skill tree himself.

The two primary skills could be put aside for now. As for the shadow cage, Lv3 should be enough for now. oCs5ED

The mid-level skill [Shadow Sneak] was a very useful escape skill. Moreover, from Lv1 to Lv2 only 20 source points were needed, so this skill must be upgraded first.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

For the high level skills case, [Shadow Tracking] was not very useful for the time being but [Shadow Manipulation] was a bit interesting.

Thus, he spent 140 source points to raise [Shadow Sneak] to Lv3 and another 40 points to raise [Shadow Manipulation] to Lv2, leaving behind 12 source points.

After finishing the skill tree, Yu Xingqiao went back to the mall to shop.

He still had three lucky draws to use, and he was ready to save up more to improve the probability of drawing good things. ZgKAxJ

He also bought a set of clothes for the cub and when he saw that he still had time left, he explored the rest of the gameplay.

For example, the hiring system.

This function was quite extensive, he had only unlocked the nanny employment position so far and the panel only had Laura in her maid outfit. He casually clicked on Laura’s avatar, her status was okay and it seemed that the equipment he bought for her had come in handy.

In addition to the personal status, there was also a work record, which was convenient for the employers to check whether their employees were being lazy. If the employees were to make a mistake and the employer wanted to fire them, a payment for the breach of the contract was not needed. POjS4Y

Surprisingly, there were even liquidated damages!

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but curse. Hiring cost money, firing also cost money, kryptonite was really needed everywhere.

He casually unlocked the “Bodyguard” employment position.

[Ding~ 1000 diamonds deducted, [Bodyguard] employment position unlocked successfully.] bMmnsD

His cub had just saved him 100,000 diamonds, a mere 1,000 diamonds was nothing!

If he wanted to hire a bodyguard directly, there was only the little fairy around. However, Yu Xingqiao didn’t think much of her fighting ability and he wanted to search elsewhere.

[Open Recruitment: You can publish a recruitment notice and wait for interested parties to apply for the job. ]

[Note: Open recruitment has a certain unknown factor, with different pay it may attract applicants with different attributes, you are allowed to attempt multiple times.] 3X0d4a

Yu Xingqiao clicked on [Open Recruitment].

[Please select a reward to give to the candidate.]

Yu Xingqiao scanned through his backpack, having contemplated on it, he finally chose the [Flying Duckbill Hat].

Anyway, the cub had the Shadow Sneak skill which had better concealment stats than this hat. Moreover, after giving it to the applicant, the cub could still use it. 2Vqlz

After all, the applicant was the cub’s bodyguard, letting them fly, could they still refuse?

[You have chosen [Flying Duckbill Hat] as the reward.]

[Please confirm the following recruitment content.]

Employment type: Bodyguard eVUkgr

Contracted Period in position: One year

Job description: Protect the cub’s life

Reward: [Flying Duckbill Hat], no salary, food, nor accommodation given

Yu Xingqiao hesitated for a moment and decided to give an increase of a hundred gold coins monthly salary. kSa1IG

This was the first time he was recruiting and he was only trying it out. He didn’t know what kind of bodyguard he could recruit with such a combination.

[Confirmation of recruitment content completed.]

[Ding~ 1000 diamonds deducted successfully, recruitment had been sent out, please wait patiently.]

“How long do I have to wait?” Yu Xingqiao asked. UiEzgp

[Open recruitment is randomised, no deadline was given, please wait patiently.]

Yu Xingqiao read through with a glance and couldn’t help but pout.

Alright, there was a slight feeling of being knowingly cheated.

When the day had just begun to dawn, Jun Lu woke up like clockwork. HBipKY

The little fairy hung onto the railing of the shadow cage absentmindedly with her eyes tightly closed and was still singing a song.

Looking at her haggard appearance, it was clear that she suffered a lot last night.

Jun Lu took one look at her and withdrew his eyes coldly.

He would not have any pity for the competition, not to mention that he did not do anything to her, he had only let her do what she likes most. 8FZ5TI

With that thought, Jun Lu retracted his shadow tentacles.

After a night of polishing, the dagger had been polished till it shone brightly and the handkerchief looked a little worn.

Now, he was able to let the shadow tentacle leave his conscious control and complete some basic mechanical functions, this was the newly acquired ability after upgrading to Lv5.

After becoming more proficient in using it, perhaps it could do more complex things. 69NFtp

Once he thought of the skill, a wave of deeper comprehension surged through his mind.

Jun Lu knew that his demon master had helped him level up his skills again.

His heart was warmed but soon he felt a little bit in awe.

It was obvious that his current speed of skill comprehension was not keeping up with his speed of skill improvement, which meant that he did not reach the standards his master set for him. 0yWdDs

This created quite a sense of urgency in Jun Lu.

He must fight more battles to train his skills and thoroughly understand the skills his master had given him!

Thinking like this, Jun Lu sat up.

He didn’t rush out of the cradle but used his spiritual power to scan his surroundings for a while. He then realised that at some point, the human woman had arrived under the tree again. EWxytm

Jun Lu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Originally, he wanted to dispose of her quietly but she had told him that it was that person who asked her to take care of him ……

Jun Lu pursed his lips and withdrew his spiritual power.

After ensuring that there was no danger, he took out his pacifier, stuffed it in his mouth, and put on those small round brown leather shoes. ip43cZ

Only when he was about to climb out did he realise in hindsight that his master had helped him change his outfit yesterday, so ——

He was still wearing the bunny onesie!

Moreover, his shirt and shorts had also been taken back by the demon master!
