Chapter 9 The cabbage seedlings have sprouted; the doghouse is quite nice too.
The reason why the Winged Clan was able to become a royal family was primarily due to their terrifying strength.
To put it simply, while Xiao Hei's previous planet had a small number of other races, it was mostly inhabited by beastmen. The biggest characteristic of beastmen is their warlike nature; to put it bluntly, they love to fight. Whenever they encounter someone of similar strength, they want to have a spar.
Every strong beastman has been challenged, but the Winged Clan is an exception. At least since Xiao Hei was born until he is almost an adult, the number of beastmen who have challenged him can be counted on one hand.
Note that the Winged Clan reaches adulthood at one hundred years old, and Little Black is still a year away from adulthood.
Moreover, without exception, all of these orcs who launched the challenge lost.
I heard that one of them cried right after the challenge ended.
Xiao Hei was speechless.
A burly man wailing loudly was quite an eyesore.
In fact, the other party was truly brought to tears. Most beastmen only have one ability, a small number of talented individuals may have two, and a very small number of colleagues possess three abilities.
The Winged Race has dozens of different abilities! As the saying goes, if you have too many superpowers, you're likely to become less proficient. But Xiao Hei has both many and highly proficient superpowers, and he can switch between them seamlessly. One second he's using a water tornado to fling his opponent like clothes, and the next second a ball of fire appears, scorching his opponent's fur black.
It is highly damaging and extremely insulting.
Anyone would lose their composure if they faced an opponent like that!
The Winged Clan possessed such formidable strength that no one dared to provoke them easily. However, some secretly harbored resentment, claiming that the Winged Clan were simply gifted geniuses, their power solely due to innate talent. In short, they were just born into the right family.
To say something like that clearly shows a lack of understanding of the Winged Race. Many people believe that the Winged Race members are born with dozens of special abilities, but that is not the case.
In fact, all Winged Race members are born with only one special ability. For example, Xiao Hei was born with only water-based abilities. Only after he has fully mastered water-based abilities will he awaken his next special ability.
Therefore, even though the Winged Race is indeed highly talented, it is obviously impossible for them to win without effort. If they want to master more superpowers, they have to put in more effort than other beast races.
However, it must be admitted that their potential is indeed higher than that of many orcs.
Now that Xiao Hei has been ambushed and temporarily regressed into a cub, his strength has naturally also deteriorated. Currently, he only has water-based abilities, and they are very weak.
Xiao Hei recalled that he had worked tirelessly to quickly strengthen his powers. Later, he used his water-based powers to defeat opponents and annihilate enemies. At that time, he never imagined that one day he would use his powers to do this.
Xiao Hei: Self-isolated.jpg
Cheng Zhiyu looked around the bathroom to make sure there was nothing that needed cleaning, but he was certain that Xiao Hei had just relieved himself. As for why the bathroom was still clean, it was probably because Xiao Hei was a magical dog.
Cheng Zhiyu's ability to accept things has greatly improved now—if the apocalypse is here, what's impossible? Xiao Hei is so smart, what's wrong with him doing a few small things?
He quickly convinced himself and left the bathroom, only to see Xiao Hei squatting in the living room, looking a little dazed, seemingly lost in thought.
Little Black was spacing out when suddenly his whole body was suspended in mid-air again. Oh, the human had picked him up again. Even though it had happened several times, Little Black still couldn't get used to the human's habit of picking him up all the time. His two hind legs were stretched straight, and his tail was tucked between them.

"Wow, I just saw it! Little Black is amazing!" It's practically a divine dog! Not only does it not pee or poop anywhere, it even cleans itself up. Although Cheng Zhiyu doesn't know how it does it, you have to give a dog some privacy, right?
Xiao Hei: "?"
I know I'm great, but why is this human suddenly praising me?
Cheng Zhiyu noticed that Xiao Hei's expression seemed full of confusion, so he chuckled and said, "Xiao Hei just pulled himself out of bed..."
"Hmm..." Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Hei keenly sensed that he didn't want to hear what was coming next, so he immediately stretched out a paw and pressed it against Cheng Zhiyu's mouth.
Shut up!
Cheng Zhiyu: "?"
He snapped out of his daze, realized what was happening, and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Little Black is shy, huh?"
He said the next sentence in a strained voice, which made Xiao Hei's head spin. He struggled to jump to the ground, turned his back to Cheng Zhiyu, and didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being.
Cheng Zhiyu coughed lightly and patted the little black head: "Sweetie, it's late, time to sleep. Where do you want to sleep? How about the living room?"
Little Black just twitched its tail; it didn't do anything else.
Cheng Zhiyu: "It will be cold at night, but the bed I made for you is very warm. If you get cold, go back to your bed to sleep, okay?"
Xiao Hei is so smart, he must be able to understand what he means, so Cheng Zhiyu didn't say anything more and got up to wash up.
After washing up, he didn't go straight back to his room to sleep. Instead, he went to the system space to check on Xiao Er and Xiao Tie.
Xiao Er greeted him lively as always. Cheng Zhiyu patted it and then checked on Xiao Tie's condition, which was relatively stable.
He poured some of the water he had just used for washing up onto Xiao Tie. Xiao Tie cooperated and its life status improved to 9%. Not only was it working hard, but Xiao Tie's own will to survive was also very strong. Cheng Zhiyu touched Xiao Tie's leaves with satisfaction.
Then, he watered Xiao Er a little more. There wasn't much water left, but he didn't waste it. He used it all to water the cabbage seeds he had planted that day.
After finishing his work, he left the space and found Xiao Hei standing opposite him, seemingly having been waiting for a while.
Cheng Zhiyu was certain it wasn't his imagination, because Xiao Hei followed him back to his room.
He glanced at the seemingly calm puppy, his eyes crinkling slightly. Sure enough, even a smart puppy can feel insecure. After all, it's its first day here, so it's normal that it doesn't want to be alone in the living room.
Xiao Hei: How can I, the dignified crown prince, sleep on the ground? I'm not a real dog.
Well, this human was sensible enough not to refuse him coming into the bedroom with him.
Then, Cheng Zhiyu moved his makeshift shelter made of clothes from the living room to the bedroom and placed it next to the bed.
Xiao Hei had just eaten half a bowl of meat, and although it seemed fine so far, Cheng Zhiyu was still a little worried. He placed it by the bedside so that he could hear it if Xiao Hei made any noise.
As for letting Xiao Hei go to bed... never mind, Xiao Hei was just picked up and hasn't had a bath yet.
After he finished his work, he saw Little Black standing blankly not far away. He reached out, picked Little Black up, put him in his bed, and patted Little Black's head: "Sleep well, goodnight."
Little Black, sleeping in the doghouse: "..." Can't sleep.
Cheng Zhiyu fell asleep quickly; he was too tired today. He had personally killed a zombie, which had a significant impact on him. However, since he had no one to talk to, he needed a good night's sleep to recover.
In the darkness, Xiao Hei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Zhiyu, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, by the moonlight. He stood up, braced his hind legs, and prepared to jump onto the bed silently. Ha, let him sleep in the doghouse? No way.
How could a dignified Winged Race member sleep in a doghouse? If word got out, the other beast races would laugh their heads off.
However, Xiao Hei overestimated his current jumping ability. Cheng Zhiyu's bed was a bit high, and unlike when he climbed the coffee table earlier, he didn't have anything to use for leverage. So, he first bumped into the edge of the bed and then fell to the ground with two loud "bangs!" in the quiet room. The effect was astonishing; Cheng Zhiyu was immediately startled awake, sat up abruptly in bed, and turned on the light.
Finding nothing there, Cheng Zhiyu frowned and got out of bed. Xiao Hei was sleeping quietly in its nest. He didn't notice the other's hind leg twitching slightly. He went outside to look around but found no danger. He could only return to the room with a puzzled look, sit by the bed for a while, and then go to bed.
Little Black, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes, glanced at the bed which wasn't very high, and questioned his own existence as a beast...
Well, actually, the doghouse is quite comfortable to sleep in; the humans laid out several layers of clothing, so it's very soft. Little Black tried to justify himself, then closed his eyes.
——
Opening his eyes, Cheng Zhiyu greeted the stretching little dog with a good morning, then finished getting ready for himself and Xiao Hei.
Little Black is quite clean; when he was washing his face, the other person even raised a paw, indicating that he wanted to wipe himself too. So cute.
It was still early, so I made some goat milk powder for Xiao Hei and then went to the system space.
Upon entering the space, Cheng Zhiyu's eyes widened in shock, for in just one night, the five cabbage seeds he had planted had sprouted.
Leaving aside the 100% survival rate, the germination speed was simply too fast. Cheng Zhiyu was quite certain that the seeds he had found were just ordinary cabbage seeds.
So… he glanced at the waiter, who looked like he wanted praise, and instantly understood. He patted the waiter's leaf and said, “It’s all thanks to you, isn’t it?”
Xiao Er shook the leaf up and down.
Cheng Zhiyu was overjoyed and naturally praised him generously, making Xiao Er feel like he was on cloud nine.
Before checking on the cabbage seedlings, I went to see how Little Iron was doing.
Overnight, Xiao Tie's health had reached 11%. Cheng Zhiyu watered it and Xiao Er, and Xiao Tie's health increased by another 1%.
Cheng Zhiyu checked Xiao Er's status again, and it was still at level one mature. Since it was level one, it meant there were levels two and three. He just didn't know how to upgrade this level.
He guessed it couldn't be as simple as watering and loosening the soil... Unable to figure it out, he simply asked the system for help: "System, how do I increase Xiao Er's maturity level?"
After asking, Cheng Zhiyu was still a little worried, fearing that the system would make him explore on his own again. Fortunately, this time the system wasn't so unreliable: [Attack-type plants need to improve their maturity level through actual combat.]
Real combat? So he's going to take Xiao Er to fight zombies more often? Cheng Zhiyu had a plan in mind.
Next, Cheng Zhiyu checked the cabbage seedlings. He had only glanced at them briefly and thought he was mistaken. However, upon closer inspection, he realized he was right; all the cabbage seedlings were red.
Um... he remembers cabbage seedlings aren't red, right? So what's going on now?
