Lord of Pets - Chapter 170
Chapter 170: little bug is a picky eater
Translator: 549690339
there were many ways to contract a pet.
the worst ones were either through deception or through external force.
the more conventional way was to conquer them with force, sign a soul seal, and slowly cultivate them to build a relationship.
the higher level ones would use reason and emotion to gain the other party’s approval before concluding the contract.
every method brought about a different result.
!!
the more despicable and vile the means were.
correspondingly, the more unstable the compatibility between human and pet, the slower the efficiency of improvement.
bai wushang didn’t want to do that.
even now, the little rabbit had already achieved the “subduing the worm with its claws.”
he’s also a soul servant-ranked master, which is even higher than a baby.
combining these two points, the resistance to signing the contract could be ignored.
however, bai wushang still wanted to try and try a better way to subdue it.
at the moment, the appearance, skills, and characteristics of the ancient everchanging bug were the same as a normal everchanging bug.
the strength and proficiency of the skills needed to be tested.
the only difference was that it had high intelligence, which was not bad. it was on the same level as the little rabbit.
this was also the core foundation of bai wushang’s determination to communicate.
it might not be able to understand the language, but all highly intelligent creatures had the ability to understand human language.
every word and action, facial expressions, body movements, the ups and downs of sound … every single one of them could convey emotions.
the everchanging insect had a special characteristic called ‘gluttony’.
these transcendent lifeforms had the characteristic of being gluttonous, second only to those who evolved abnormally. they were also quite famous.
more interestingly, it could not be simply defined by eating meat or vegetables.
it was a super omnivorous creature. beast meat, insect meat, rotten meat, vegetables, fruits, ores, wood, corpses, flower honey … it was willing to try anything.
then, based on this foundation, there would be differences according to individual preferences.
some of them liked to eat meat;
some liked to eat ores;
some liked to eat metal;
some still liked to mix and eat;
there were even cases where some people liked to eat dirt and feces …
therefore, bai wushang planned to target it. he placed the personal supplies that he had recently been allocated in front of the pink caterpillar one by one.
“take a look, is there anything you like to eat?”
it was true that the ancient everchanging insect could not understand human language.
however, its six little eyes betrayed it at the first moment.
” every time … ” (what are these … i’ve never eaten them before …)
at the moment of life and death, little bug still couldn’t control his instincts.
you can’t blame it.
it wanted to run away. even though it was a glutton, it knew that its life was the most important. it could only eat more if it was alive.
but! not far away, there was a golden-furred two-legged beast, a big frog, and a big reptile.
at close range, a green two-legged beast, a black monster hiding in the ground, and the white silver-eyed demon king were all staring at it!
how could he run?
he couldn’t run away!
he might as well eat another meal before he died …
little bug’s heart turned cold, and his mood became more and more depressed.
although he didn’t understand what the two-legged beast was talking about, he felt that it was asking him to choose the items inside.
“strange … he doesn’t seem to have any killing intent. i just can’t feel it!”
“he must be trying to fatten me up before eating me. hmph, save it. i can’t grow up anymore. i haven’t developed in a long time …”
” ah, ah, ah, i don’t care anymore, i don’t care anymore. i’m going to die anyway. eat! ”
the pink caterpillar decided to go all out and give up.
” sigh, but i’m not hungry. i just ate eggshells, and i’m full … ” he said with a little distress.
its six little eyes rolled around, looking at the food around it, and it couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
“there are a few that i haven’t tried before … try them!”
“even if i’m stuffed to death, i still want to eat two more mouthfuls!”
with an “awoo,” it fixed its eyes on a target and pounced.
bai wushang’s mouth twitched.
he really knew how to pick!
he directly locked onto the most expensive one!
he didn’t take out all the good things, but chose a few.
the first thing the pink caterpillar ate was the purple core magic stone.
it was a dark purple translucent stone the size of a fist, but it was worth more than 5000 gold coins.
demon stones were the core energy stones used to refine magic weapons and set up formations. there was a chance that they could be mined from the ground, deep mountains, and the bottom of the sea, where there were few people.
“he actually likes to eat magic stones … he’s a standard prodigal …”
bai wushang watched as the little bug bit the stone as if it was a fruit.
its upper jaw was extremely developed and hard, and its bite force was astonishing.
as a result, the ” ka cha ka cha ” chewing sound could be heard clearly and continuously.
after taking two bites of the purple core magic stone, the little bug seemed to want to change its taste, so it went around the other items.
soon, he found a blue insect egg, broke it, and ate it.
bai wushang’s eyelids twitched again.’what a picky eater!’
he took out more than a dozen eggs of different quality and size.
the pink caterpillar didn’t even look at the ordinary eggs when it passed by, as if it despised them.
when it discovered a 5-star mortal bone level egg, it would pause and hesitate for a moment.
in the end, he found a 6-star mortal bone ” blue-feathered bug egg ” and started to gnaw on it.
……
after a round of eating and drinking, little bug really couldn’t eat anymore.
it had only eaten two things, an egg and one-fifth of a magic stone. it had not touched anything else.
looking at his attribute panel upgraded from ‘full’ to ‘extremely full’, bai wushang was in a dilemma.
” the total cost of keeping such a pet in its mouth is probably two or three times more than the sum of the rabbit and zhou … ”
on the other side, the caterpillar collapsed on the ground without any care for its image. its belly was turned out, and it was completely dead.
“i can’t, there’s no space at all.”
“come on, eat me, i’m content …”
“grumble! ji gu!”
little milky way knew that his master was planning to contract a new pet companion.
however, it felt that little bug was too stupid. he was fat, stupid, and couldn’t fight. he was useless.
” master, master, why don’t you change to another one? little bug is unreliable! ”
the little rabbit used its claws to push the caterpillar that was pretending to be dead. the other party was at the mercy of its claws and completely gave up struggling.
he didn’t have any integrity at all!
where was the arrogance and pride of an ancient species?
after all, he was still at the peak of the juvenile stage and had an 8-star mortal bone!
the little rabbit could not help but recall its own realm.
at that time, although he was weak, he could still help.
what could this little bug do?
no matter what he did, he won first place!
hmph! unreliable!
ah zhou’s expression was also very subtle. he actually agreed with milky way’s point of view.
” don’t worry, the multiform bug’s use is limited in its infant stage. all its innate abilities are hidden in its bloodline. once it successfully evolves, it will definitely become very strong … ”
bai wushang was comforting milky way and himself at the same time.
“mm! don’t panic, it’s just a glutton!”
” that’s how the everchanging insect is. this is its characteristic, its instinct. after all, it’s all about food! ”
” besides, this is an ancient species. it’s understandable that it has requirements for the quality of its food! ”
” i should be able to make a small fortune from this trip to the ruins. i can still afford to raise it for the time being. as long as i raise it to maturity and change its bloodline, the corresponding food chain will also change. it should be much better then … ”
bai wushang had successfully convinced himself.
he turned to sobina, who was smiling but not smiling, and sincerely said, ” ” sister na, please help me guard the law. sorry for the trouble. ”
