In Chapter 69 of "These Familiars Are Strange": As we headed deeper into the dungeon, I suddenly thought of something.Even though I agreed... Discover the next events!

As we headed deeper into the dungeon, I suddenly thought of something.Even though I agreed to take Wang Rong with me, I didn't actually know what he was capable of. For him to take the path of becoming an Explorer and then to be abandoned by his teammates…it was very likely that his familiar wasn't that strong. But I had already taken him under my wings, so I would at least try to see what I could use him for. "What is your familiar?" I asked all of a sudden. Wang Rong was surprised to hear this before revealing an awkward look. After hesitating for a moment, he directly called out his familiar for me to see. "A turtle?" I asked him as I stared at the small familiar he presented in his hand. With a nod, Wang Rong explained, "My familiar is a Rock Turtle. It has the ability to strengthen its defenses. When I use it to fight, it allows me to make my skin as hard as rocks." Then with a bitter smile, he said, "Though when I make my skin harder, it also becomes harder to move since it loses its flexibility."

Thinking about it, it made sense how Wang Rong was able to survive after being chased by the Fishmen for so long. It seemed that he used this ability to increase his defense to survive the whole time. But there was something that I still wanted to confirm since I didn't know the full extent of his powers. "You can control when to strengthen your skin, right? Is there an amount of time that is required for you to use the power of your familiar or is it instant?" Wang Rong was surprised by this question before his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in an excited voice, "Boss, I never thought that you would figure it out so quickly! That's right, I can change from that state in an instant. There is a few seconds that it takes to change into the state, but my defenses will increase from the moment that I activate that power." I gave a simple nod since this was what I expected. The only problem was that it just wasn't strong enough and he didn't change fast enough that he would be able to use this ability in combat. In short, he was nothing more than a turtle just like his familiar. Though in a sense, his abilities were better than a turtle since he didn't have to crawl into a shell each time. He was at least able to keep moving when he put up his defenses. That meant that I did have a use for Wang Rong. But there was also a part of me that wondered if I could make him stronger. After all, if he was stronger, then he would be even more useful to me. The only problem with making him stronger was revealing a few more of my secrets and these were secrets that would be dangerous to reveal too much of. If too many people knew about this, then my life would be in danger as the only person that could create these things… But still, I decided that it was better to make him stronger for now since he'll be more useful. When people noticed, it would already be too late. "Take this." I pulled out an orb and tossed it to Wang Rong. Wang Rong was surprised that I suddenly tossed something to him, but he was able to catch it in the end. It was even a bit impressive how fast he moved for his size in the end.

It seemed that even if he was a bit chubby, he still took good care of his body and had good physical capabilities. That would make it even easier to use him for what I was planning to use him for. After catching the orb that I tossed him, Wang Rong asked in a confused voice, "Boss, what is this?" "Crush it and you'll find out." I said in a calm voice. Wang Rong looked at me with an even more confused look when he heard this, but I didn't say anything as I looked at him as if I was just waiting for him to crush the orb that I tossed him. Wang Rong once again hesitated a bit, but that was to be expected from anyone in his situation. In the end, he revealed another determined look as he crushed the orb that he held in his hand. The moment that the orb was crushed, there was a faint light that appeared around him. I didn't see this appear around me before when I used the other Skill Orbs, but it was interesting to see that it was happening around other people. If someone had watched me, they would have seen the same thing happening to me. Once the light faded, Wang Rong looked at me with a shocked look as he said, "There's this strange power that's filling me." I just gave a simple nod before saying, "Use that power and let's see how much of it you can draw on." Wang Rong's expression became strange when he heard this, but he slowly nodded before closing his eyes like he was focusing on something. In no time at all, there was this faint green light that appeared around him. At the same time, it was as if there was some kind of wind that was blowing through his hair. With a single step, Wang Rong moved several meters away. He came to a stop and looked down at his hands in shock. But while he was dazed, I said, "Use the power of your familiar as well." Wang Rong looked at me with a surprised look before quickly following my instructions. He didn't move as far as he did before, but he was able to move normally even though he was using the power of his familiar. I gave a satisfied nod when I saw this. It seemed that giving him the Move As Wind Skill Orb really was useful. Wang Rong turned around again and fell to his knees before bowing his head to say, "Boss, I can never repay you for this favour!" I just shook my head with a faint smile before going forward to pat him on the shoulder, "Work hard for me." Then with the same smile, I added, "I'm sure that you'll come to regret those words soon." Wang Rong quickly shook his head to deny this before saying, "I'll never regret these words." It was only later that Wang Rong really came to regret those words, but he didn't know that right now. Right now, he was filled with excitement since he knew that he had just overcome his fatal weakness. As long as he was able to move normally, then he would be able to use the power of his familiar to the full extent. Powerful defense wasn't just used for defending. If one punched a steel wall, they would be the one that would get hurt.
