After staying up for five days and five nights, Ye Zi was extremely exhausted mentally and should have fallen asleep instantly, but she couldn't fall asleep after lying down.
Looking at the sleeping golden eagle across from her, Ye Zi was filled with excitement, so much so that she couldn't sleep.
After lying there for a while, Ye Zi turned over and looked at the top of the tent, grinning foolishly. After laughing for a while, she started to worry again, worried that the golden eagle would fly away after it woke up.
Just as I was struggling with this decision, the system spoke up.
"Host, would you like to spend 100 health points to establish contact with the golden eagle?"
Ye Zi was taken aback. Establishing contact with the golden eagle? Does that mean it recognizes her as its master? She quickly asked.
"Host, this is just establishing a connection, not recognizing you as my master. The difference is that one treats you as a friend, while the other will obey your every command."
"Trying to be my friend means I need time to get to know the golden eagle before I can bring it under my control."
Why can't we just directly acknowledge God?
"Directly recognizing the golden eagle as your master is also possible, but you only have 100 health points right now. Unless you go home and kill 200 sheep to accumulate 1,000 health points, the system can make the golden eagle recognize you as its master," the system said dryly.
Ye Zi narrowed his eyes. In fact, his Qi and Blood value was more than 100. It had exceeded 100 when he was in Alaska, and he had killed sheep several times after returning to the grassland.
Although each sheep can only provide five points of health, it is a cumulative process.
But no matter what, it's true that the system's stored Qi and Blood values are less than two hundred.
The system means that if the golden eagle has 100 HP, it will treat him as a friend; if it has 1000 HP, it will recognize him as its master. These are the only two options.
Moreover, Ye Zi had long coveted the system's storage space and had been accumulating Qi and Blood points in order to open it, but opening the storage space also required a thousand Qi and Blood points.
Now, it also costs one thousand to get the golden eagle to recognize its master.
Putting aside the fact that Ye Zi doesn't have a thousand health points, even if she did, she would really have to consider whether to open the storage space or let the golden eagle recognize her as its master.
However, subconsciously, Ye Zi prefers to open the storage space because it's convenient.
In the current situation, it is definitely more worthwhile to establish contact with the golden eagle, because the amount of health points on hand is far from enough to unlock the storage space.
"System, spend 100 health points to establish contact with the golden eagle."
"Okay, host."
Ye Zi paused again, because he detected a hint of happiness in the system's tone.
"The connection between the host and the golden eagle has been established. The golden eagle will not attack the host immediately after waking up, nor will it fly away immediately," the system reported after completing the operation.
Ye Zi grinned and then said:
"I didn't know you had a pet-collecting function. Is there anything else I don't know?"
"That's all," the system replied curtly.
Ye Zi thought for a moment and quickly remembered that the system's tone was the same when she used the specified probe direction. She then asked:
"System, if I use my Qi and Blood Points to make purchases, will you receive a commission?"
"Hehe, the host has discovered it. Actually, it can't be called taking a cut. I only have the authority to collect and store the host's Qi and blood. To absorb the host's Qi and blood, you must get the host's consent."
Ye Zi nodded. Although the system was no longer of much use, they had spent so much time together and still had feelings for each other.
"System, why do you need to absorb Qi and Blood?"
"My absorption of Qi and Blood is equivalent to your salary. After the host dies, I will go back and use it."
Originally, we were supposed to transmigrate into a high-martial arts world. The host could use the blood and qi collected from killing ferocious beasts and spirit beasts to refine blood and qi pills, Thousand-Jin pills, and other elixirs, and I would receive a portion of the blood and qi as wages. But now we are just in a mortal world, so I earn much less.
"But rest assured, host, the portion charged by the system will be fair and impartial, without any deception or malicious price gouging."
Ye Zi nodded again, it seemed the system hadn't been working for nothing, and then asked:
"So what do you rely on to keep your daily operations running?"
"Spiritual energy. Although this is the mortal world, there is still spiritual energy here. Moreover, the system has very few functions here, so it needs very little spiritual energy. It's fine to use the spiritual energy you absorb every day occasionally."
"Like something like getting me to connect with a golden eagle?"
"Yes, establishing a connection between the host and the golden eagle is part of the pet-taming function, which requires the use of spiritual energy. Since it is only a preliminary connection, not much is needed; it relies more on the effect of blood and qi."
As for my ability to chat, that's intelligence, which doesn't require spiritual energy. My ability to detect things falls within my sensory range, and that also doesn't require spiritual energy.
"I didn't expect you to have a pet-taming function. It seems there are still many abilities you haven't developed yet," Ye Zi said cheerfully.
"Alchemy, weapon crafting, and martial arts collection are the main functions; pet collection is just a secondary function," the system boasted happily.
"Wait a minute, you can even forge weapons?" Ye Zi asked in surprise.
As for alchemy, it goes without saying that, as mentioned before, the pills that the system can refine are mainly based on Qi and Blood. Without Qi and Blood, the pill refining function is basically useless.
Refining weapons, to put it simply, is making weapons, which shouldn't require health points, right?
"Yes, but even refining the lowest-level spiritual weapon will require me to absorb spiritual energy for a long time."
Ye Zi suddenly had an idea. She had originally planned to take some time to customize a pair of maces, but if that didn't work, she would have to learn blacksmithing herself. If the system could refine weapons, then she wouldn't have to go through all that trouble.
He then proceeded to deceive:
"System, you need to adjust your mindset. We are currently in the mortal world, so we don't need to refine spiritual artifacts. As long as they are tough enough, that's fine."
Besides, even if you manage to forge a spiritual weapon, I don't have the ability to release my blood and qi, nor do I have the spiritual energy to use it, so wouldn't that be a waste?
Therefore, what you need to forge is not a magical artifact, but a weapon, a weapon used by mortals.
This saves effort, and I can use it too, don't you think?
The system hesitated for a moment before saying:
“What you say makes a lot of sense, host. We don’t need spiritual weapons right now. The cost of forging ordinary weapons is not high. At my current rate of absorbing spiritual energy, I can tailor-make a pair of maces for you in at most two months.”
Ye Zi clapped her hands and said:
"With my current physical strength, plus the mace you tailored for me, I can take on ten thousand people, or even more, single-handedly."
The premise is that the other side doesn't use firearms, a point Ye Zi didn't mention.
"So my mission is completely complete? Although the gains from this trip were small, at least the mission objective was achieved."
"Who says otherwise? Then we can enjoy life," Ye Zi continued to tempt us.
"Yes, yes, I will try my best to absorb spiritual energy," the system said enthusiastically.
One-on-one against ten thousand people, or in short, an enemy of ten thousand.
The title "Enemy of Ten Thousand Men" is synonymous with invincibility in any world, so the system has indeed completed its mission.
The system, having been fooled by Ye Zi, began to diligently absorb spiritual energy. Ye Zi then chuckled and fell asleep contentedly.
