The two followers were digesting the energy brought by the fruit. Xu Zhi never dwelled too long on a question that had no answer for the time being. After a while, she put the game console aside and started reading.

Just by reading the book, she noticed the difference.

Her ability to understand and absorb knowledge has increased, and when she tried to look at math problems that were difficult to understand before, she found that she could now easily construct the graphics required for the problems in her mind, and even her logical reasoning ability has improved a lot.

"So, it's not completely ineffective, but it's working on my brain?"

That's fine, at least it makes her feel better than if it really didn't work.

Before Xu Zhi could read for too long, Gou Zi woke up from his sleep first.

The first thing it did after waking up was to sniff gently with its nose to find Xu Zhi's location. Before opening its eyes, it crawled towards Xu Zhi with its paws. When it opened its eyes, the whole dog couldn't wait to throw itself into the arms of Xu Zhi who was sitting on the sofa.

But Xu Zhi pushed him to the ground without mercy.

"You're too big and heavy now!"

Xu Zhi took a breath. God knows she almost thought she was going to die when the dog pounced on her just now.

Does it think it's still a little puppy?!

The dog seemed to have grown a little bigger, and was estimated to be about 1.5 meters tall. Its gray fur was very smooth, its limbs were strong and powerful, and its eyes were sharp, but they were wet when it looked at Xu Zhi.

Being rejected by Xu Zhi, the dog whimpered a little aggrievedly, and as a second choice, lay down at Xu Zhi's feet and tentatively put his head on Xu Zhi's legs. This time Xu Zhi did not refuse.

She was obviously more concerned about how much the dog could absorb after eating the black fruit. Picking up the game console, she saw the result.

[Your clan digested some of the energy from this fruit. It's not very powerful and can't fully absorb the fruit, but even so, it has gained a considerable amount.]

It was a familiar sentence, but it was slightly different from the evaluation Xiaoyi received when he ate the fruit for the first time.

[Family: Dog Lv11→Lv13

Spirit: 120 → 200

Flesh: 860→1100

Attribute: Blade

Traits: Strength Lv6, Smell Lv5, Vigilance Lv3, Sharpness Lv4

Special Abilities: None

[Currently required evolution points: 1000/2500]

After two consecutive levels, he gained an extra thousand evolution points, but the result was not outstanding.

It was within her expectation that the dog was still unable to completely digest the fruit, but the dog's performance was indeed good recently, and these four fruits were all discovered by it. In any case, Xu Zhi should give it one.

Rubbing the dog's head lying on his legs, Xu Zhi unexpectedly found that it felt quite good, furry and warm. Now that the power was out, it was a rare automatic heater in this cold city.

After a while, Xiaoyi finally woke up from his sleep. Because he controlled his body size, Xu Zhi could not see the changes in his body size, so he simply opened Xiaoyi's game panel.

[Your clan has perfectly digested this small fruit. Thanks to it being still in its growth phase, it has reaped a good harvest.]

[Family: Python Lv16→Lv18

Spirit: 350 → 600

Flesh: 1500→1800

Attribute: Blade

Traits: Toxin Lv6, Sharpness Lv5, Bloodthirst Lv5, Cunning Lv4, Strength Lv5]

Special Ability: Transformation Lv2

[Evolution Points: 0/5500]

If Gouzi's two-level promotion was within her expectations, then Xiaoyi's two-level promotion was completely beyond her expectations.

She thought Xiaoyi would be a little short of level 18 after eating, but unexpectedly it was just right?

If I maintain this absorption and conversion efficiency, after taking the last pill, wouldn't I be just one step away from breaking through level 20?

Moreover, the feedback that Xiaoyi and Gouzi's combined four-level promotion brought to her was very obvious.

It was no longer the subtle changes from before. This time she clearly felt that her body had become lighter and her limbs were stronger. She had now completely gotten rid of her frail body that would fall down at the slightest gust of wind, and the weakness that had been plaguing her had mostly dissipated.

Xu Zhi was unable to diagnose her own condition through medical means, but she could sense from the feedback brought by simple body movements that the disease that had plagued her in the past seemed to have disappeared.

Her heart did not rebel against her exercise. She was already a normal person. At most, she was a little weak due to lack of exercise for many years, but at least, she was no longer unable to lift anything with her shoulders or hands like before.

This is really great. It is good news that makes Xu Zhi happier than Xiaoyi and Gouzi’s continuous upgrades.

She was already looking forward to having more followers and seeing how far she could reach after their continuous upgrades.

Her brain seemed to be constantly improving, and now the feedback from the improvement in her body was also becoming obvious. Perhaps after a while, she would be able to defeat the enemy without relying on her clan.

While Xu Zhi was happy, the narrator was still reminding her that she still had things to do.

She already had two chances to draw clan traits, so she had to draw them as soon as possible, as they would expire in 12 hours. However, Xu Zhi was not in a hurry. She gave the last fruit to Xiaoyi to eat, and planned to wait for Xiaoyi to upgrade again before drawing three times at once.

"By the way, when I draw the traits of my clan, will I get a blank? In other words, will the draw fail?"

[No, but you can only extract traits from a specific clan, and there is a chance of duplication.]

"so."

Xu Zhi nodded and understood. This meant that she could now hit Xiaoyi twice and Gouzi once.

“Is the probability of repetition high?”

【The selection is completely random.】

"You mean it depends on luck? I like that."

What Xu Zhi is least afraid of now is relying on luck. She is very confident in her luck.

Since the dog couldn't be improved in a short time, Xu Zhi beat the dog first.

She had never drawn a trait from Gouzi, and she would not repeat it no matter what. And considering that Xiaoyi still had two chances, Xu Zhi didn't care what she could draw from Gouzi.

【Drawing】

[Congratulations, you won: Vigilance Lv3]

[Due to the differences between you and your clan, your traits will also change slightly.]

[Warning: You will be more likely to notice the slightest movement around you and perceive changes in things and people.]

"not bad."

Xu Zhi was not disappointed. The trait of [Alertness] was a good thing for people who were currently in Yuncheng.

The ability to detect danger is very important. If you can't even detect the danger, how can you avoid it or fight back?

The dog seemed to think Xu Zhi's words were a compliment to it, so it wagged its tail excitedly and rubbed its furry head against Xu Zhi's legs. Xu Zhi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Are you a male or a female?"

The dog looked puzzled when he heard this, but the narrator stepped forward to answer the question on his behalf.

[Families have no gender, they will only grow in the direction you expect.]
