Xia Chujian said, "It's... it's the thing that's put on the horse's mouth."
Qi Lu searched his database, finally found a few pictures and asked, "Is this it?"
It shows several bits being put on horses' mouths.
Xia Chujian said, "We can make it a little denser and make a mouthpiece that looks like a mask, tailored to the shape of Awu's mouth."
Qi Lu understood: "...No problem."
It used the leftover scraps of the golden eggshell to make a small mask-like bit, and then put it on Awu.
Of course, Qi Lu was operating Xia Chujian's mechanical arm.
Awu looked at Xia Chujian in confusion and wanted to speak, but his mouth was muzzled and he made a whimpering sound like a puppy crying.
Xia Chujian patted its head and said, "I'm sorry, Awu. Let's leave it at that for now. I'll take you back to my airship."
"I can't take this bit off until you learn not to talk in front of people."
Awu looked at Xia Chujian whimpering, and the tears in his big eyes finally rolled down.
Qi Lu gave Xia Chujian some advice from inside his fully enclosed helmet, saying, "Master, Awu is a complete replica of an ancient beast. It should possess all the abilities of this beast."
"Look at its gene incubator. It can even speak. It must have many special abilities."
"Would you like to let Awu try and see if it can be transformed?"
Xia Chujian: "...Transformed? What do you mean?"
"It's literally like that. See if it can control its own body and transform into something else?"
At this time, Xia Chujian thought of the untouchables among the humanoids.
Humanoid pariahs are humanoids who can switch freely between animal and human forms.
If this little guy is a replica of a very powerful ancient beast, for example, like Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying, he is also a descendant of some kind of mythical beast. Will he also be able to switch his form freely?
Xia Chujian became even more curious and asked the little guy, "Awu, do you have any special skills?"
Awu doesn't seem to have learned much in that gene incubator.
It tilted its head and asked, "What do you mean by special ability?"
Xia Chujian patiently explained: "It's what you are best at, a skill that only you possess."
Ah Wu happily stood up on his hind legs, clasped his front paws together, and said, "Ah Wu knows how to bow!"
"Congratulations on your prosperity! Congratulations on your prosperity!"
Xia Chujian saw three black lines on his forehead.
What kind of special skill is this?!
That gene incubator is too unreliable!
What does this teach...
Xia Chujian couldn't help but say, "Stop! This isn't a special skill! This is... a skill any little lion dog can do!"
Ah Wu fell to the ground with a thud, no longer standing upright, and said aggrievedly: "Ah Wu has other special abilities..."
Xia Chujian glanced at it, not quite believing it: "What else?"
Ah Wu squatted down again and said seriously, "Ah Wu is a real eater!"
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched. He stopped trying to persuade her and asked bluntly, "Can you switch forms?"
"Do you want to switch to the appearance of a normal poodle?"
Awu stopped whimpering and just looked at Xia Chujian with wide eyes.
Xia Chujian pulled out a virtual display screen from the smart bracelet, showing a picture of a white lion dog.
In order to better disguise himself, Xia Chujian asked Qilu to show the most common lion dog.
It was a furry little puppy with floppy ears resting on its round, spherical head.
Its body is round like a snowball, and its fur is shiny white without a trace of other colors.
Its four legs are shorter than those of a normal poodle, and its tail is a short, round ball.
His eyes were black and shiny, like two Go pieces made of obsidian.
The small, moist black nose and the black eyes that look like two Go pieces create a naturally innocent and lovely expression.
The most important thing is that it is so small that its entire body is in a teacup.
Its two front paws rested on the rim of the cup, looking timidly at the camera.
Xia Chujian was overjoyed when he saw it, and murmured, "Qilu, are you sure that what you found is the most ordinary little lion dog, not a new breed?"
Qi Lu's childish voice was serious: "Master, this is the most common little lion dog, also known as a teacup dog. It is very popular on the Star Network and girls like it."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She looked at Awu hopefully and said, "Awu, can you switch to this?"
Awu stared at the picture on the virtual display screen for a while, and then the long golden fur on its body gradually shortened and turned into a thick layer of white fur, sticking to its body.
The four legs became a little shorter, the horns on the head disappeared and turned into floppy white ears, and the tail shrank into a ball.
In the end, even the size of the body was reduced proportionally, as if it could really fit in a teacup.
Xia Chujian inexplicably felt that Awu's change was not like the human-like changes of Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying, but was quite similar to the time when Si Xi suddenly grew up in front of her.
But she liked Awu so much in his current state that she didn't think about it any further.
