Next up is Xiao Jin's old friend – the swimming pool!
First, pour in cold water, and wait until the temperature rises to a certain level before adding ice. After that, Xiao Jin sat down and watched a show while drinking an iced beverage.
If you feel hot, sit in the water.
Gradually, Xiao Jin filled the surrounding open space with thick blocks of ice. As the ice melted, it emitted a chilling coolness, relieving the stuffy heat of the surroundings.
An hour passed quickly. Xiao Jin skillfully retrieved the swimming pool, removed the marble brick blocking the entrance to the cave, and strode away.
…………
For the next two hours, Xiao Jin finally didn't come empty-handed.
The system is really ruthless; it either doesn't refresh at all, or it refreshes the resource boxes in places that normal people would never think of.
Xiao Jin went to great lengths to dig out a resource box from the food reserves of a mutated beast. When the mutated snake saw Xiao Jin rummaging through its den, it was so anxious that its eyes almost bled.
When Xiao Jin twisted it into a pretzel before, the mutated snake wasn't in such a hurry! Xiao Jin was also surprised to find an egg in the snake's nest after she took the resource box.
After glancing at the bow-shaped mutated snake, Xiao Jin tentatively held the egg in his palm.
As a result, the mutated snake became unusually violent, its forked tongue flicking back and forth, and the bow was almost turned into a dead knot!
"Hiss~ Hiss~"
"You want this?" Xiao Jin shook the egg in his hand, and interestingly, the mutated snake actually nodded.
"You can actually understand what I'm saying!"
This mutated snake is not a high-level mutated beast like a toad; its emergence of intelligence is truly an unexpected surprise.
Xiao Jin turned to look at the egg, then said to the mutated snake, "I've taken a closer look, and this doesn't seem to be... your egg!"
This wasn't just Xiao Jin making things up. The mutated snake next to him was at most a meter and a half long and about the thickness of four fingers, but this snake egg was as big as two of Xiao Jin's fists.
Moreover, snakes do not lay only one egg.
"You didn't steal this, did you?!"
After saying this, Xiao Jin observed the mutated snake's behavior. It's good that it has intelligence; otherwise, its lies will have loopholes.
As Xiao Jin had predicted, the mutated snake shook its head, its eyes flickered, and it dared not look directly into Xiao Jin's eyes, while the tip of its tail swished back and forth.
Immediately afterwards, the other party hissed at Xiao Jin with a fierce but cowardly expression, staring intently at the egg in her hand, as if to say, "Give it back to me!"
"Heh~" Xiao Jin laughed.
She then chopped the snake to the ground with a single stroke, picked up the egg, and turned to leave.
She didn't need to know the mutated snake's answer; it was destined to die the moment it attacked Xiao Jin.
As Xiao Jin walked, she examined the egg in her hand and read the system's introduction.
Unknown snake egg
grade:???
illustrate:???
Note: Pets can be hatched.
[Ding—Congratulations to the player who is the first to unlock the pet system! Rewards: 1000 points, Pet Talent Growth Potion (Purple), Dimensional Pet Bag (Purple), Pet Feeding Pill (Blue) *10]
[System announcement coming soon, would you like to remain anonymous?]
Xiao Jin nodded without hesitation: "Anonymous."
[Ding—Attention all survival game players! Because player 'Anonymous' was the first to discover the pet egg, the system has awarded you a special bonus: +1000 points, Pet Talent Growth Potion (Purple), Dimensional Pet Bag (Purple), and Pet Feeding Pill (Blue) *10]
[Also: The pet system will be fully launched soon. Please return to the train for more information...]
Other players: Holy crap, what? A pet?
Anonymous? Why be anonymous? Is there something to be ashamed of? Let us know who this lucky person is!
But then, most players' thoughts began to wander, their minds filled with images of tall, mighty mythical beasts that could ride the clouds. If they could raise one, not to mention how much help it would provide in the game, its appearance alone would be incredibly cool!
Immediately, a player shouted, "Hahaha, dragon, dragon, I want to be a dragon knight!"
Xiao Jin hadn't expected that the game would have a pet module; the one she had just found was a pet egg that could hatch into a pet. And the system's rewards this time were incredibly generous!
She then opened her backpack, which contained three more items: a bottle of medicine, a small cotton and linen sachet in an antique style, and a porcelain bottle.
The medicine was black and looked extremely mysterious.
[Pet Talent Growth Potion (Purple): After use, it can raise the pet's talent level by one stage]
[Note: Each pet will awaken its unique talent upon hatching. The talent level represents the pet's maximum growth potential. Note: Talent levels range from E to S.]
This is a good thing. Xiao Jin frowned. What kind of talent would his pet awaken?
Then there's the 'Otherworldly Pet Bag' given by the system, which says you can put your pet in it to help it recover from its wounds and regain its energy.
The system's item inventory cannot contain living creatures, but the 'Otherworldly Pet Bag' solves this problem perfectly. It's not practical for Xiao Jin to take his pet with him wherever he goes.
Small ones are fine, but large ones would be too conspicuous!
However, the 'Otherworldly Pet Bag' can only be used to store pets; don't even think about sneaking in anything else.
The last small bottle contained feeding pellets, about the size of soybeans, and brown in color. Xiao Jin sniffed them, then his expression turned strange. Hmm…it smells nice, like small cookies. Is this really not a snack?
Filled with doubt, Xiao Jin clicked on the introduction of the pet feeding pills—after consumption, it can increase satiety by 50 points, with plenty of fresh feed and rich nutrition.
Hmm... It really is food!
Immediately following the system's instructions, Xiao Jin evenly poured the talent growth liquid onto the snake eggs. Actually, Xiao Jin had been hesitant just now. Although she had no prejudice against snakes, she wasn't particularly fond of them either.
But then she realized that she didn't need a powerful pet to enhance her life. Since the two of them had met, it was fate. Even if it wasn't strong, Xiao Jin would do her best to train it.
The system states that each player will only have one chance to hatch a pet egg, and the hatched pet will be loyal to the player forever.
Xiao Jin didn't care whether it was good-looking or had strong talent. Since there was one bottle of talent enhancement liquid, there would be a second bottle. In this cannibalistic world, being able to trust someone completely was more useful than any other condition.
She poked the snake egg.
[Ding—Does the player wish to incubate this pet egg? Estimated incubation time: 7 days. Note: Once incubation begins, it cannot be changed by the system.]
"yes."
[Player confirmed, incubation begins]
The moment the black liquid touched the snake egg, it was instantly absorbed completely. The white egg swayed under Xiao Jin's gaze, emitting a soft glow.
Xiao Jin put the egg into the pet bag. Due to the nature of space, spaces cannot be stacked. The pet bag could not be put into the system backpack or into Xiao Jin's storage space. It could only be carried with her.
