Pet Simulator

Chapter 53: Reluctant Inwardly, but Honest Physically

“So characteristics are upgradeable?”

Having little to no education in this aspect, Wang Ye quickly looked up some information on the internet.

The search revealed that there indeed were upgradeable characteristics!

Generally, characteristics were not upgradeable since they were the pets’ innate abilities.

However, through acquired experience and training, there was a very small probability of obtaining upgradeable characteristics.

Pet characteristics were generally divided into different grades, namely: White, blue, purple, orange, magenta, brilliant gold, and iridescent.

Other than these, there were also some special characteristics, such as the gray negative characteristic, the black mutated characteristic, and so on.

Then there were the upgradeable characteristics.

“When a pet has an upgradeable characteristic, through training, the grade of the characteristic will be improved over the years, and the ability of said characteristic will also change. Currently, among the upgradeable characteristics that have been discovered, the most it can grow is from the white grade to the magenta grade.

This was some simple information that Wang Ye had found on the internet.

“Magenta characteristics are said to be the kind that Overlord class pets have a small probability of awakening.”

In fact, any characteristic above the blue grade was considered pretty good.

Though, in reality, it still depended on the effects of the characteristic itself.

After so many simulations, many characteristics have appeared as a result.

From the initial Indomitable Strength to the later Hurricane God Wings, most of the characteristics had their pros and cons.

Generally, most characteristics starting from the purple grade would be very beneficial to the pets.

An orange characteristic was already very rare, so it was even harder to obtain any characteristic of a higher grade than the orange grade.

Many pets would still be in the Emperor class after their tier 3 evolution, meaning it was almost impossible for them to awaken more powerful characteristics. To awaken an orange characteristic could already be considered a blessing from one’s ancestors.

Unless one encountered some fortuitous encounter that defied the heavens and changed their fate, the probability of obtaining a very high-grade characteristic was negligible.

“Just magenta? I have the feeling the information on the internet isn’t exactly accurate enough...” Wang Ye shook his head.

Since it was upgradable, it was hard to say what the upper limit was.

However, he hadn’t gone to university either, so he didn’t have enough experience and knowledge, nor did he know much about this aspect.

Since there were so many Beastmasters in Dongli Country, there should be some capable people who could nurture high-grade characteristics, right?

He had to look at the bigger picture.

Since he had been blessed with a cheat, how could he be satisfied with a mere magenta characteristic?

Besides, this characteristic seemed quite interesting.

It seems to be quite compatible with the Intimidation skill?

“With an upgradeable characteristic, the intensity of the simulation will be even higher... That being said, I’m really looking forward to what kind of effect this characteristic will have after it grows.”

Putting everything else aside, its functionality should be very strong, right?

Wang Ye looked at Xiao Jiu and found that it hadn’t changed much.

It was still the same as ever.

After today’s simulation was completed, Wang Ye brought Xiao Jiu and the white python out for a walk to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

At the same time, they also went to the flying training ground to train Xiao Jiu’s skills briefly.

Although Xiao Jiu could train its skills in the simulations, since its evolvement was soon to come, chances to train in real life couldn’t be missed either.

Besides, Xiao Jiu needed time to adapt to the Kongmi Wingsuit.

It was not until evening, when Xiao Jiu finished training, that Wang Ye went to the Pet Center to run an inspection on the white python again.

Except for the 400 points of spiritual energy, there was almost no change.

It had no improvement in all aspects.

“Comrade, you probably caught this hornless white python of yours in the wild, right?” The young lady carrying out the examination reminded him, “When the intimacy level of a pet caught in the wild is enough, please sign the contract with it as soon as possible. With your current spiritual strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to contract two pets. After signing the contract, you’ll be able to sense the pet’s information at any time.”

Wang Ye muttered in his heart, “I want to sign the contract, but I just can’t.”

Yes.

He had tried signing the pet contract with the white python over the past few months, but he found that he couldn’t.

Every time he offered to sign the contract, there seemed to be a power of resistance in the white python’s soul.

Yet the white python was clearly very close to him.

It was... very ridiculous.

It was the typical reluctant inwardly, but honest physically.

“You eat the food I give you, live in my house, and use my things every day,” Wang Ye looked at the white python and played with it in his hands. He pondered as he said, “Why are you resisting in your heart?”

“Huji?” The white python looked at Wang Ye in confusion.

Then it rubbed itself against Wang Ye’s palm intimately. It didn’t resist Wang Ye’s touch at all. Instead, it playfully scurried around Wang Ye’s arms and opened its mouth.

It was hungry.

“...” Wang Ye.

After returning to the apartment, Wang Ye washed-up Xiao Jiu, who had been training for half a day. He was about to put the white python back into his spatial sphere when he suddenly thought of something. After fumbling through the spatial spehre for a while, he found that something seemed to be missing.

“Where’s the bead that I found in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb?” Wang Ye’s expression darkened.

There had been too many materials previously, so after he had returned, he hadn’t immediately sold the materials in his spatial sphere, nor had he organized them.

He just suddenly remembered that he seemed to have obtained something like that.

“It can’t be that you ate it again, right?” Wang Ye looked at the white python.

His fingertips trembled as he looked up the scarlet gem-like pearl on the internet.

[Scarlet Eye Divine Crystal: A spirit attributed secret treasure. It is occasionally produced in some high-level secret realms or ruins. It is formed from the eyes of soul-type beasts above level 4 after their deaths. It has a high camouflage ability and is often difficult to distinguish from ordinary stones. Only certain emperor-grade detection-type skills have a chance of detecting them in high-level secret realms.]

It was worth more than three million, and it could increase the growth of a pet’s soul, as well as increase the success rate of pet evolution.

“...” Wang Ye.

What a huge loss!

Wang Ye looked at the white python, his eyelids twitching.

This little thing had already eaten close to ten million worth of three attributed secret treasures!

This was simply too ridiculous!

It had completely exceeded the value of resources used to nurture Xiao Jiu!

“Huji~” The white python rolled up its fat tail and lay down on the side, looking harmless.

It didn’t eat any other ingredients, just this!

Did it have its eyes on the top-grade materials only?

It probably didn’t have a care for the slightly inferior materials, right?

“I didn’t expect to bring back a gold eater...” Wang Ye was speechless. He could only hope that this little thing would give him some surprises in the future.

But from the looks of it now...

Wang Ye let out a long sigh.

At this time, Commander Lin Rou sent him a message, “Wang Ye, I’ve sent you the information about the Hundred Birds Meeting. Take a good look. If you have any questions, ask me. The meeting will be held about three weeks from now...”

Wang Ye opened the file and read it carefully. Gradually, he understood.

The Yihuang Forest was in a valley north of Yaoguang City in Xinghai Province.

It was one of the few relics in Yaoguang City.

Hundreds of years ago, a Myth class crimson flame phoenix had died there to protect Yaoguang City.

It was also the only time that Yaoguang City had stubbornly resisted the erosion of the dark fog.

Later, after the crimson flame phoenix died, its bones turned into a flaming forest. Its will turned a soul-fire that would never extinguish, lighting up the path of the sky for the later pet, guiding many sky-type pets to a higher realm.

As a fortuitous relic, the Yihuang Forest was only open once or twice a year.

Only Beastmasters with a certain level of strength and sky-type pets could enter and explore it.

The quota was limited.

If one could perform well in the Yihuang Forest, one could ignite the soul-fire of the crimson flame phoenix.

If one was lucky, one could even obtain the approval of the crimson flame phoenix’s soul, thus obtaining a bloodline inheritance that would open up a new evolution path and bring new abilities for the pet.

Over the years, many sky-type pets had obtained many benefits from it.

However, there were only two people who had ever obtained the approval of the crimson flame phoenix and obtained its bloodline inheritance.

Moreover, those two pets had lower-grade bloodlines related to the phoenix.

“Should I go to this meeting?” Wang Ye pondered, “It doesn’t seem to be necessary for Xiao Jiu. In the remaining three weeks, as long as it improves its skills to the requirements, it will be able to evolve. Besides, three weeks... It seems that the dark fog explosion in Anping County is very close. Wait, it doesn’t just seem to be very close, but... just around the corner, no? Speaking of which, the time of the dark fog explosion in Anping County seems to be fixed in every reality simulation. Why is it fixed at that time?”
