Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 40 Braised Pork Meatballs (Lion’s Head)

Lin Xiaomei saw Qin Shou appear, her pretty face lit up with joy, and she said, "Qin Shou, it’s good that you’re okay."

Qin Shou nodded slightly, then opened the Space Gate, returning the greedy snake to the System Space. He turned to look at Long Xia, his gaze unfriendly.

Punk, dare to talk bad about me behind my back again, and I’ll kill you!

Long Xia completely understood the meaning in his gaze and gave an awkward smile.

"Haha, Lao Qin, when did you get here? How come you walk without making a sound?"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes, too lazy to respond to Long Xia.

Meanwhile, Hong Cong and Ye Ning felt a subconscious sense of relief when they saw Qin Shou return. They were genuinely afraid he wouldn’t come back.

It wasn’t out of concern for him, but because without Qin Shou, there was no way they would survive until the Beast Tide subsided, let alone return to the city.

The monsters they encountered along the way were even more terrifying than what the Monster Hunters had described.

"Qin Shou, you’re back just in time. I have a strong feeling there’s something terrifying lurking around here. Shouldn’t we find another safer spot?"

Hong Cong suggested, pointing around.

This time, Lin Xiaomei earnestly agreed, "That’s right. I feel the same way. This place is just too eerie."

Long Xia remained silent, as he always deferred to Qin Shou in decision-making.

Qin Shou glanced around the environment and shook his head.

"This city ruin is crawling with monsters; it’s hard to find another place as quiet as this.

Besides, I just did a round here and didn’t detect any immediate danger for now.

Relax. If there’s any danger, I’ll notify you guys immediately."

He had indeed just used the Rein Jia’er Transform Card to scout the area with Rein Jia’er, finding nothing abnormal.

Qin Shou’s words eased everyone’s concerns a little.

Even though they had only been a team for two or three days, Qin Shou’s strength was undeniable.

A Danger Level 8 Dragon Beast, his uncanny ability to sense danger, the sudden manifestation of a Beast-shaped Mecha, and his so-called Beast-shaped Mecha Master friend...

Everyone had already come to see Qin Shou as the backbone of the group. Whatever they did, they had to consult Qin Shou first.

If Qin Shou said there was no danger, then there probably wasn’t.

...

In an old shopping mall, Qin Shou found the cleanest room, did a bit of tidying up, and officially settled down there.

He opened the System Interface, pondered briefly, and casually created a virtual model of Rein Jia’er.

This trip out of the city made him realize the crucial importance of stealth monsters to him.

On this journey, he had avoided more than half of the crises with Rein Jia’er’s invisibility ability.

However, when he synthesized Rein Jia’er initially, its size had been set too large.

For an invisible assassin, this was extremely inconvenient.

Many times, Rein Jia’er’s massive size was not an asset but a liability.

Thus, this time, Qin Shou decided to remodel it!

[Rein Jia’er] + [Communicator] + [Night Vision Scanner]

Both the Communicator and Night Vision Scanner were components Qin Shou had scavenged from Storm Red.

The Communicator would allow Rein Jia’er to transmit messages to Qin Shou from long distances.

The Night Vision Scanner enhanced Rein Jia’er’s night vision capabilities.

In terms of appearance, Rein Jia’er’s left eye, with the addition of the Night Vision Scanner, now glowed with an orange-red hue.

Its right eye, equipped with the Communicator for transmitting visuals and audio, appeared azure blue.

Otherwise, its appearance remained largely unchanged.

Afterward, Qin Shou used ordinary Lion Dog genes to adjust Rein Jia’er’s size to match that of a typical human, harmonizing its proportions.

Although its size was reduced, its overall strength remained largely the same.

"Ding! Model creation completed. Synthesis will require 50 Synthesis Points. Begin synthesis?"

"Synthesize!"

Rein Jia’er’s body merged into the model and began to solidify slowly.

A moment later.

"Ding! Synthesis completed. The creature is classified as a Danger Level 7 Monster. Please name the creature."

"Rein Jia’er!"

"Ding! Naming successful. Initiating data comparison..."

"Ding! The creature’s similarity to League of Heroes’ Rein Jia’er is 52%. Awarding Rein Jia’er Transform Card x1."

Qin Shou’s mouth twitched. It had only increased by a single percent.

Next, with a slight movement of his finger, the now human-sized Rein Jia’er leaped out from the interface.

It glanced at its own body, looking noticeably dissatisfied.

The majestic and imposing figure it once had was now gone forever. Its heart ached...

Qin Shou couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

He casually comforted it with a couple of remarks and sent it to stand guard outside.

"Beep beep..."

Moments later, the Communicator buzzed with an incoming message.

[Rein Jia’er: Master, what are we having for dinner?]

Qin Shou’s face darkened. Did I install a Communicator for you to use it like this?

I really shouldn’t have merged the Lion Dog’s genes into you!

He thought for a moment and replied silently.

[Tonight, braised lion’s head!]

[Rein Jia’er: Master, actually... I’m not that hungry...]

Qin Shou shook his head with a smile, closed the interface, and initiated a video call to his mom.

He hadn’t reassured them of his safety since the Beast Tide hit!

Hua Ping and Qin Guofang had repeatedly tried to video call him, but there had been no signal in the Giant Forest. He hadn’t received any of their calls.

Ironically, deep into the actual ruins of the Old Era, there was unexpectedly a perfect signal.

Qin Shou always felt something about this place was off.

"Beep beep..."

The call connected quickly, and Hua Ping’s haggard face appeared on the screen.

"Son! We’ve been trying to reach you over video calls, but you didn’t answer. Where are you now? The Beast Tide came. Are you hurt? You..."

Hua Ping’s expression was filled with worry, and her questions came rapid-fire.

At that moment, Qin Guofang’s steady voice interjected.

"Let him talk. Let him tell us how things are."

"Lao Qin, I’m talking to my son. Why are you butting in? Go sit somewhere else..."

Hua Ping snapped at him unceremoniously, then turned back to Qin Shou, barely able to contain her excitement.

"Son, tell me everything that’s happening over there."

Qin Shou took a deep breath and smiled. "Mom, I’m very safe right now. Don’t worry. How are things with the Beast Tide in West City?"

Hua Ping, seeing his face unblemished and unwounded, felt a weight lift from her chest. She replied, "The Federation Main City reinforcements have already arrived in West City. The Beast Tide has been brought under control. You’ll be able to come home soon."

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow. "So fast?"

"Of course, it’s quick when they’re using Space Arrays." Hua Ping said.

Qin Shou shook his head. "Mom, I mean, with so many Skeleton Giant Lizards, how did they manage to suppress it so quickly?"

At this point, Qin Guofang’s deliberately composed face appeared on the screen.

"Son, I heard that this time the Federation Main City reinforcements were led by Lord Yan Long himself. Naturally, they could easily defeat those Skeleton Giant Lizards."

"Lord Yan Long?" Qin Shou asked, intrigued.
