Blasted House

Tulip failed to react to such a question, she wanted to throw a fit but the idiot wouldn't even understand. With a sour mood, she led Pel to the basement.

"Clear it up yourself" she said before turning back. "And oh...I wanna sleep nicely tonight"

Pel shook his head and made his clones appear. Although he had no cleaning tool, he decided to create something simple that would leave the place without a speck while all his clones will be doing was moving things to the side to create more space.

It took 12 minutes to clear up things, with two clones moving things with spatial rings, the remaining three helped Pel set up the space regulator and created a better working environment.

Finding out, if the spirit stones were useful wasn't that taxing. The spirit stones held QI, meaning it had both spiritual essence and mana...yet it wasn't exploding meaning the two energies were compatible.

Pel sighed and called out Taxao. The latter was still in a sleep state because Pel did not issue any task.

He then took out two spirit stones and then replaced Taxao's batteries with them. The stones lost their energy instantly and crumbled to dust...then a notification sounded.

—Congratulations your pet Taxao has broken through the shackles of his former program and gained a wisp of life force. He has been acknowledged as a magical creature.

—Congratulations you have unlocked the pet function, a separate space in the system is given to pets.

—Congratulations you have been given a large amount of 'Exp' for obtaining a powerful pet.

—Warning!! Taxao is about to go through his first evolution and take the form he pleases...there might be destruction host is advised to take cover.

Pel's eyelid twitched, he had no time to rejoice and yet the last notification came. "Fuck you Ito!!!" he yelled before equipping two more shields and a speed booster.

He zoomed off to Tulip's room and without giving an explanation, carried like a sack...the same was for Crista while Kingsley was dragged by the collar.

None of them had time to react before

BOOM!!!

An explosion of high magnitude rang out ending them flying but Pel made sure they were safe after all this was all his fault...or maybe Ito's.

Tulip's sleepiness disappeared and her eyes widened in shock at what had just occurred...she definitely couldn't take in everything in such a short while. "My...house"

While she was still in disbelief...a white figure with the height of a 12-year-old boy walked out of the ruins unscratched.

His white was practically glowing with a pair of antennae sticking out of his forehead and blue triangular iris that stood out even from far away.

The figure turned in Pel's direction and smiled. "Master"

Tulip, Kingsley and Crista slowly turned to Pel each wearing a different expression and the next moment, he sent flying with a kick he never expected.

"You bastard!!" Tulip roared. This time she was insanely angry but still refrained from using her abilities since she didn't want to kill him...but she had to blow off some steam.

Pel stood up and started at Tulip with a worried expression. "Taxao stop!!!"

"She hurt you" Taxao transmitted from far away. His eyes were narrowed down on Tulip.

"It's fine let her"

The others had no idea what he was talking about and Tulip was not in the mood to care. "You better protect yourself...I'm not playing"

"Sorr..."

Another kick came but this time Pel evaded easily and created a distance between them.

"Fight back don't cower!!" Tulip said angrily.

"Are you kidding...I don't even know how much experience you have on close combat...fighting you head on is death"

"Then use your freaking abilities, I'm not letting you off..." she dashed towards him again.

[I wonder if...]

"To I will f*king kill you if you issue me a stupid quest"

—Quest

—You are facing a strong opponent...do not let the system down, unequip your shield and fight with skills and abilities. Last 20 minutes with not less that a quarter of your HP remaining.

—Reward: ???

—Punishment: ???

Pel was speechless but he couldn't get distracted since Tulip wasn't going easy on him.

"Sis you're gonna injure him" Kingsley said with a grim expression.

"Shut up...and stay out of this" Tulip warned before going after Pel again.

Pel unequipped his shield and all other gadgets before activating his ability and five clones appeared and in a hurry he granted two of them Flaming Spectrum and the remaining there with rock punch. He could only grant them a skill each or he would have added Rock Hardening.

'Damn I also need combat skills...maybe after she blows off we'll talk'

This time Pel did not evade Tulip and instead decided to block her kick...if he couldn't defend himself against a human how was he going to save his family?

With a reconstructed mentality, Pel hardened his arms...he didn't believe he was so weak and after the Kick landed his shoes were nearly buried in the soil but his lips broke out in a smile...he didn't even need his clones, he wasn't weak.

Tulip was surprised to see Pel hold of against her without his crazy gadget and watching the clones disappear one by one she immediately retracted her foot and took a stand.

The idiot was smiling and even though she wasn't using all of her strength, she was using more than half of it and that was enough to send any teen to the hospital...so seeing the idiot smile infuriated her.

Her thoughts were unknown to Pel and even if he knew he wouldn't care, he was still smiling and his gaze was fixed on her. "I can hold...I'm also strong"
