I Maximize My Item-dropping Rate Chapter 4: Raising the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow

Chapter 4: Raising the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow

After a.n.a.lyzing the drop mechanism of the item, Xiao Shi began to think about the corresponding martial artist-level creatures in the sect.

After thinking about it, other than the Piebald Worm King, there seemed to be only the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow. Other than those, there were also outer court disciples at the Martial Entry-Level.

"There are very few Piebald Worm Kings. I was lucky this time and found one. I might not be as lucky in the future. The Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow is an important resource in the sect. It's impossible to afford it with 8,000 contribution points each. Murder is out of the question."

Xiao Shi shook his head.

He realized that he could only kill Piebald Worms. If he were to take a risk, he could go out on a mission and kill the Martial Entry-Level creatures outside during the mission. However, with his personality, it was impossible for him to easily step out of the sect without ensuring his safety.

"I'd better kill the Piebald Worms first."

Although Piebald Worms basically dropped mortal-level items, there was a certain chance that they would drop Martial-Level items.

The key was safety.

For Xiao Shi, safety always came first.

After killing all the remaining Piebald Worms and earthworms in the cloth bag, there were already many mortal items piled up in Xiao Shi's room. There were all kinds of daily necessities and food.

During this time, he even tried to kill multiple Piebald Worms at the same time. In the end, after killing it at the same time, the items that dropped directly fused together.

At this moment, there was a ring connected to the clay pot in front of him.

Test proof.

He could only kill them one by one.

If he had to kill both at the same time, he had to at least maintain a certain distance between the two. If the distance was too close and they died at the same time, the items that dropped would stick together.

...

It was already late at night.

However, Xiao Shi was not sleepy at all. He was seriously flipping through the secret manual, Arc Flash, and studying this Earth-rank movement technique.

He realized that this movement technique was very different from ordinary movement techniques.

Most of the movement techniques focused on the legs. However, this movement technique required one to exert all their strength when using it. It had an extremely high requirement on the physical body.

With Xiao Shi's current physical strength, it would be difficult for him to execute this movement technique.

Xiao Shi thought about it and decided to give it a try.

According to the description in the secret manual, he used a unique method to gather his strength in various parts of his body. His eyes turned cold as he took a step forward.

Swoosh!

An afterimage flashed past.

Xiao Shi's figure appeared five meters away.

Wherever he pa.s.sed, the air shook and exploded! Not only was this movement technique fast, but it also possessed powerful lethality. However, after taking this step, Xiao Shi felt intense pain all over his body, as if his body was being torn apart. If he did it again, he felt that his body might explode on the way.

"As expected, my body is not strong enough to execute this movement technique!"

Xiao Shi's face was pale.

The higher the level of the secret manual, the more rare and powerful it was, and the difficulty of cultivating and using it would also rise.

Xiao Shi made a rough judgment. If he wanted to use Arc Flash without any injuries, he had to at least reach Martial Entry-Level Five. If he wanted to use it freely and easily, his physical strength would probably have to be at the sixth or seventh stage of the Martial Entry-Level.

As the first realm of martial arts, the Martial Entry-Level mainly focused on strengthening one's self, tempering one's body, tempering one's Qi and blood, and strengthening one's body.

For example, the Red Tiger Technique that Xiao Shi cultivated could strengthen his physique, blood, and other aspects under the circulation of the heavenly cycle. The difference between each stage of the Martial Entry-Level was often reflected in the strength of one's body.

When one reached the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, they would be able to reach the initial physical limit.

...

Early in the morning, a light drizzle fell on the ground.

Xiao Shi came to the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow's breeding forest and prepared to continue capturing the Piebald Worms.

To avoid attracting the attention of others, he directly accepted the mission to raise the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow.

This type of mission has low remuneration. He only earned five contribution points a day. It was a job that belonged to a servant disciple. Basically, no outer sect disciples would do such a mission.

However, Xiao Shi knew that if he came to catch the Piebald Worm every day, it might not be a big deal once or twice. Once he did it too many times, it would definitely attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.

In particular, he knew that besides some servant disciples in charge of rearing, there was also an elder specially guarding this forest.

If this elder noticed his abnormality and felt that he had designs on the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow, it would be troublesome. Therefore, he chose to raise the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow as a cover. This way, it was not strange for him to come and go here many times.

However, he still had to be careful. When capturing the Piebald Worm, he had to try his best not to be seen by others.

Most importantly, he had to be on guard against that elder. However, as Xiao Shi began to raise the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow, he gradually realized that his worries seemed to be unnecessary.

The elder in charge was surnamed Qiu.

Although Xiao Shi did not know Elder Qiu's cultivation, he realized that Elder Qiu usually did not care about anything.

When Xiao Shi first met Elder Qiu, he was lying on a bamboo chair, leisurely drinking wine. He did not care about the rearing of the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow at all. It was as if he was here purely to intimidate those who had ulterior motives towards the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow so that they would not dare to have any designs on it.

As for other matters, he would not care. His daily life was to drink and slack here.

This made Xiao Shi feel much more relieved. He was a little bold in capturing the Piebald Worms.

Three days pa.s.sed.

He had caught more than 200 Piebald Worms. More and more items piled up in the room. Unfortunately, no Martial Entry-Level items dropped. They were all ordinary items.

"There are more than 200 Piebald Worms, but I can't see a single Bug King. Could it be that there's only one Bug King in total?" Xiao Shi was a little distressed.

The probability of a Piebald Worm dropping a Martial Entry-Level item was simply too low. If there was really only one insect king, the only way to kill a Martial Entry-Level creature was the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow.

Over the past few days, when he was raising the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow, Xiao Shi had wondered more than once if there was a way to get the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow.

However, when he found out that these Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrows all had the special mark left behind by Elder Qiu, all the methods he thought of became ineffective.

As long as such a special mark existed, Elder Qiu would be able to sense it immediately whenever a Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow was in trouble. This was also the main reason why Elder Qiu did not have to patrol everywhere every day and did not have to worry about anyone daring to steal the birds.

If he wanted to get his hands on the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow, he would need Elder Qiu to personally remove the symbol and give the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow to him.

But this is clearly unrealistic.

"Wait." Xiao Shi suddenly thought of something. Based on these days of contact and observation, he realized that Elder Qiu seemed to like to drink a lot. Every time he saw Elder Qiu, he would hold a wine pot in his hand. Basically, he would always drink. "If Elder Qiu is the kind of person who loves to drink…"

Xiao Shi's eyes flashed. He suddenly turned his head to look at a corner of the room.

There were dozens of pots of wine there.

They were all dropped after killing the Piebald Worms over the past few days.
