Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Pet Contract
When Tang Li came back, the little guy hid in the soil. When Tang Li left, the little guy came out again. After several rounds, Tang Li didn't notice that there was an uninvited guest in the house.
It was almost noon when Tang Li suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the soil in the wheat field. The color of one piece of land was darker than the others, and it looked like it had been watered.
This is strange, is there color difference in land modeling?
Tang Li was puzzled, but since it had no impact, she didn't care much.
It was not until the afternoon that she noticed that the color of the soil was getting darker and darker, and the wheat grown on the black soil took several seconds less to mature than other wheat.
If she hadn't noticed the wrong color of the soil at the beginning, she would not have noticed the error of a few seconds in the ripening time in her haste to run back and forth.
Having just tasted the sweetness of shortening the time it takes for crops to mature, Tang Li was suddenly shocked.
If we can figure out the cause of all this, wouldn't the wheat mature even faster?
This was still very tempting to Tang Li. She looked around the land for a long time, and even waited beside it from the moment the wheat was sown until it matured. Apart from confirming that the wheat's maturity time had indeed become shorter, she didn't find anything else wrong.
"That's strange."
Tang Li wondered if she had encountered a system bug and wanted to submit it to the authorities for handling, but she was afraid that the officials would discover her bug and handle her as well.
If it really doesn't work, then forget it. Even if it's a bug, it's a bug that makes sense to her. Tang Li, who had been struggling for a long time, was about to get up when she noticed with her sharp eyes that the soil in front of her seemed to move.
"?" Is she dazzled?
Tang Li squatted down again and stared at the soil in front of her, but she didn't see the soil move at all.
"Let's go chop down some trees." Tang Li thought for a moment, then stood up and flew out on her broom.
"Chi~" The little guy was so scared that he buried himself deep in the soil. After waiting for a long time without hearing any movement, he crawled out again and collapsed on the soil.
"I caught you!" Tang Li, who had returned, grabbed the jelly-like earth-colored slime and recognized at a glance that this was the poor little creature that was released into the wild in the morning.
Tang Li was also surprised that she could recognize him at a glance. Perhaps it was the little guy's tearful poached egg eyes that made such a deep impression.
Seeing the other person struggling desperately in his hands, Tang Li was a little surprised: "Why did you come to my house?"
Logically speaking, the private sphere should be protected by the system, right?
"Chi~Chi~Chi!" The little guy looked at Tang Li pitifully.
Tang Li didn't understand at all, but that didn't stop her from feeling soft-hearted.
Putting the little guy back on the ground, Tang Li found the official forum and quickly discovered the reason why the little guy was able to enter her house without her permission.
First of all, this little guy has a friendly green name, secondly, the slime has the characteristic of devouring everything, and finally, the little guy's strength is so weak that it can be ignored. The combination of several buffs has led to the situation she sees now.
"Why did you become a green name? Is it because I let you go?" Tang Li felt that this little guy was a little too trusting of others.
"Chirp." After Tang Li put it down, the little guy didn't run around while she was looking for information, but snuggled up at her feet obediently, looking soft and cute.
She was so well behaved that Tang Li couldn't bear to bully her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take two steps back. She actually fell for it. This discovery was too scary.
"Chi." The little guy duangduang approached Tang Li again and rubbed her calf dependently.
"Do you want to stay here?" Tang Li looked at the little guy who followed her closely, like a sticky candy, afraid that she would throw it away.
"Chi!" The earth-colored slime nodded vigorously.
A slime without even a neck or waist could actually perform such a difficult move. Tang Li couldn't help but admire it.
"Since you want to stay," Tang Li thought for two seconds, then nodded under the little guy's nervous gaze, "then you can stay."
It's nice to have a little guy around to entertain you. Besides, she can't stop the little guy from coming uninvited.
Oh, by the way, the little guy can also fertilize the soil. Tang Li pointed to the darkest wheat field and asked the little guy: "Did you do this?"
"Chi!" The little guy nodded nervously.
Slimes with earth attributes can slowly improve the soil. Some farmers will specifically catch slimes to help in the fields. However, as slimes continue to split and grow in population, and they often cannot be controlled and steal crops, they cannot stay in farmers' homes for long and will be driven out.
But it is different. In its short life, Tang Li is the only one who shows kindness to it. It wants to stay with this human forever, so it will try hard to control its desire to split. Moreover, it is easy to feed, and it can eat only soil as long as it can stay.
One person and one slime signed a contract under the witness of the system, and its idea was clearly conveyed to Tang Li through the contract.
It's okay to control the desire to split. It's true that if there are too many slimes, Tang Li won't be able to raise too many. But doesn't it sound a bit too pitiful if they only eat soil?
Tang Li felt that she was not that heartbroken yet.
"You help me shorten the time it takes for crops to mature, but I can't let you eat only soil," Tang Li looked at her backpack with some worry. The only edible things in her backpack were wheat, flour, steamed buns, life essence and wheat seeds. The wheat seeds were divided into special-effect improved seeds and high-quality wheat seeds dropped from treasure chests.
There weren't enough of these things to make steamed buns, and she was also afraid that the slime would get hurt if it ate these things with side effects (Player:???), so the only safe and harmless things were life essence and high-quality wheat seeds.
High-quality wheat seeds are related to her future money-making plan, and the drop rate is really too touching. Even if she is willing to use them as food for the slime, she probably won't be able to eat them for long.
Life essence is the neutralizer for making potions. She has not yet completed the initial capital accumulation for making potions, so she will not be able to use it in the short term. In addition, this thing is not very rare. If she needs it later, she can purchase it from other players. It is perfect to use it as food for the little guy.
"Here." Tang Li immediately took out two small water droplets that looked like exploding beads and handed them to the little guy.
"Chirp!" The little guy who was ready to eat dirt didn't expect Tang Li to be so generous. His eyes were immediately moved and turned into watery fried eggs.
"Let me give you a name." Seeing the little guy trying hard to press the little water droplets onto his body, Tang Li felt that since he had officially adopted him, he should give him a name. He couldn't just keep calling him "little guy, little guy." "Or do you have your own name?"
"Chi~" The earth-colored slime shook its head. Their population reproduced very quickly and was easily killed by other creatures. Two slimes might only meet once in their lifetime, so there was no need to give them names.
It sounds like a life of consumables. Tang Li sighed. She had originally wanted to give the little guy a funny name like "Tu Ke La" or "Little Mound" based on his characteristics, but now she had no intention of joking at all.
It's already pitiful, and it's too tragic to be given a pitiful name.
"How about calling you Xirang?" This is the most powerful name related to soil that she could think of. Even if it is soil, she wants to be the most powerful soil.
Xirang is the soil that has existed since the creation of the world in mythology. It is said to contain infinite vitality, can grow infinitely, and will never be consumed.
Although Magic Continent is a Western fantasy game, this is also a beautiful expectation.
"Chi!" Xirang was very satisfied with his name, or rather, he would be satisfied with any name given to him by Tang Li.
Tang Li touched the little guy's jelly-like head and smiled gently.
The atmosphere between the person and the pet was harmonious, but the world channel exploded because of the system announcement.
[World Channel: Congratulations to player *** for contracting your favorite pet. The pet system has been activated.]
At a time when everyone's highest level is less than level five, three consecutive world announcements are extremely cool.
Suifeng: Damn, who is so awesome?
Gift of Destiny: It’s only the second day of the server opening, right?
Qingfeng Mingyue: Please tell me how to contract a pet, I will reward you handsomely!
Ruoruo: Maybe the Hunter class? I remember that class was able to have combat partners very early on.
Kukulu: Hunters must obtain skill books before they can contract a combat partner, and combat partners are different from pets.
…
Tang Li was completely unaware of the hustle and bustle on the world channel. At this moment, she was watching Xirang demonstrate its new skills.
