Spiritual Pet

The system expressed that it could not be blamed for this.

[This is how I am set. I can't change it. Moreover, if the host does mess up, these pills can at least make you better. Not every host is as motivated as you.]

The system seemed to have recalled some distant memory, and its voice was no longer as cheerful.

"In that case, you're lucky to have me as your host," Jiang Yu's mood suddenly became much better, "If that's the case, then I have to work harder. I can't let you down."

The system looked at its host despairingly.

Why did these words sound so narcissistic coming from him?

However, it agreed with the second half of its host's words.

[You have to work hard.]

[Because you failed this mission.]

Although Jiang Yu had planned to fail the mission, the failure came too quickly.

He was more or less unwilling to fail like this. But…

"Alright, hurry up and give me the spirit pet."

It was not a loss to get a pet.

After a while, an egg appeared in front of him.

This made Jiang Yu quiet again.

So… Does that mean he had to hatch the spirit pet himself? Did the system think he was a hen?

[Spiritual pets are hatched from eggs. As for how they hatch, it depends on you.]

Jiang Yu was speechless for a while.

Finally, he took the pet egg and played with it in his hand. He wondered what would happen if he broke the egg now. Would it be the same as a regular egg?

The system was speechless by its host's train of thought.

What was its host thinking all day? How could a pet egg be the same as a regular egg?

"How should I hatch it? Don't make me imitate a hen," Jiang Yu asked.

[Definitely not.] The system quickly refuted before explaining, [This pet egg belongs to you. When it hatches, its strength will depend on your cultivation level. The higher your cultivation level, the stronger the spiritual energy it feels, and the faster it hatches.]

Was that so?

Seeing that the egg in front of him didn't have any reaction, Jiang Yu put away the pet egg and decided to leave the mountain temporarily.

He had enough of staying in the mountains these few days. It was time to go to other places. More importantly, his RV ran out of gas.

The system was the one sighing, 'Finally, the host is moving somewhere else.'

Jiang Yu drove the RV out of the mountains.

Fortunately, when they arrived at the gas station, the RV still had some gas. Jiang Yu didn't have to walk to the gas station. However, to everyone else, it appeared as if a car just appeared out of thin air.

After filling up the RV with oil, Jiang Yu didn't return to the villa immediately. Instead, he stayed at a nearby hotel.

He immediately booked the hotel's luxury suite.

Jiang Yu would think about how to hatch the pet egg later.

However, when he went upstairs, he saw Wang Xinyuan with his arms around a girl going up the elevator.

"Come, follow me back to my room. I will love you well."

The meaning behind his words was clear as day.

Perhaps it was because Wang Xinyuan was so immersed in his beauty that he didn't notice Jiang Yu, who used the same elevator with him.

Otherwise, he would definitely mock Jiang Yu.

[Tsk tsk, didn't this kid say that he liked that other girl? Why is he still fooling around with other women? Are all men this unreliable? Is this how you show your interest in someone you like?]

The system could not help but mutter.

'He's just a scumbag. Don't worry too much.'

How could such a person know what true love was?

Jiang Yu guessed that Lin Xiaoyuan probably rejected him, so he randomly asked out girls to relieve his loneliness.

He had no interest in such things.

After returning to his room, Jiang Yu placed the pet egg on the table and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

He hadn't had a good bath in the mountains these days.

However, after he left the bathroom, Jiang Yu discovered that there was already a crack on the shell.

What was going on? Why did it hatched so quickly?

"Explain it to me," Jiang Yu tells the system.

[This is very normal. Your spiritual power is enough, and the opportunity has arrived. Naturally, it will hatch. It's not difficult to hatch a pet egg.]

Therefore, Jiang Yu sat in front of the table and stared at the pet egg, watching as its eggshell cracked bit by bit.

Finally, a small parrot appeared.

"A parrot? You didn't give me an ordinary parrot egg, did you?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental to hatch a parrot without any spiritual energy fluctuations?!

[How could I give you an ordinary egg?! Don't talk nonsense!] Then the system quickly explained, [Moreover, spiritual pets are all random. I can't decide which pet to give you. Since your egg hatched into a parrot, it can only mean that there is a lot of fate between the two of you.]

Alright then… Actually, Jiang Yu only wanted a pet. He didn't care what the pet was.

Jiang Yu didn't touch the recently hatched parrot. He just watched quietly from the side and occasionally poked its little head with his finger.

[Don't look at it just because it's just born. It has top-notch talent and needs you to use various medicinal pills to catalyze it.]

This wasn't a difficult thing for Jiang Yu. After all, he already had a lot of medicinal pills.

Since he had failed the mission, the system had given him some extra money. Now, he could use it all to feed the parrot.

What Jiang Yu didn't expect was that this action triggered a new mission.

[New Mission: Raise pet level to level 2. Failure will result in the pet's talent being activated.]

Jiang Yu was speechless again.

Why is raising a pet part of the mission? Moreover, the punishment mechanism was still the same as when he was cultivating!

The system coughed. [*Cough* *Cough* This is a spiritual pet. You can't keep it like an ordinary pet. You have to help it cultivate and raise its spiritual level.]

Jiang Yu took a deep breath, only feeling that the burden on his body was a little heavier.

"What's a Talent Activation Pill?"

Was it not enough to just feed him other pills? He had to feed it special Pet Talent Activation Pills?

In response, the system explained, [Pet eggs are of the highest quality. After hatching, the pet has very high potential, but there are different directions in the growth process. This pill can choose the strongest direction for the pet to strengthen.]

That sounded… surprisingly pretty good?

Jiang Yu tried to feed the remaining pills to the parrot. However, because it was just born, it ate very slowly, which immediately made Jiang Yu give up.

In any case, if he failed, he would be given a Pet Talent Activation Pill. Why was he painstakingly feeding it?

Perhaps, he would fail the mission before he even ate a few pills. Therefore, Jiang Yu decided to bring his pet downstairs to try his luck.

However, as soon as he went downstairs, Jiang Yu saw the cultivator who had been with Chairman Wang. He immediately became vigilant.

Why was he here?

At the same time, Old Man Yang suddenly sensed a familiar aura. He hurriedly looked around and observed for a while, but he didn't find anything unusual. Naturally, he didn't find Jiang Yu either.

'Could it be… Or was he being paranoid?'

At this moment, Jiang Yu was hiding behind the stairs, deep in thought.

According to the old Daoist Priest, most of the current cultivators were attached to large factions. However, the place he was in was only a small city and not a good place for business development. Why would cultivators appear here?
