Chapter 66 New Family Member. Enter: Wei Wei
Chu Che had to agree with the system's suggestion.
[Host, the pill costs a little over 90% of your current amount in the system. So does the host still want to exchange for the pill?]
'Hmhm.'
[Good host.]
~Ding.
After confirming that he had the pill, Chu Che took it out and fed it to Wei Wei.
Instantly, Wei Wei began feeling a wave of qi storm his body.
It felt like his entire body was being ripped apart as the pill cleaned all impurities and even removed the mysterious blockage there.
Wei Wei gritted his teeth and held on for as long as he could.
And soon, the pain began to ease.
His body was covered with dark tar-like substances that reeked.
But, he felt mighty strong now.
Before giving him the pill, Chu Che brought him near a stream within the massive city.
After all, as an Otaku, the moment the system said that the pill would also remove Wei Wei's impurities, he knew that this would be the result.
~Splash.
Wei Wei jumped in, swirled within the water, and rubbed his body against the rocks beneath before getting out.
He then shook his body to dry and rushed towards Chu Che.
~Grrfff~~
He bit him.
Eh?
Chu Che was very confused about what just happened here.
[Congratulations, my darling host. Wei Wei has successfully formed a contract with you. You are now its Master.]
'_'
.
Chu Che was shocked after seeing the beast contract seal disappear into thin air on his palm.
He didn't think that this guy would form a contract with him.
For one, even though he thought of taking him, he still wanted the dog to have liberties and choose its path.
After all, creatures here were different from those back on earth.
Some even ranked up in hopes of getting revenge.
So he subconsciously treated Wei Wei as a person, especially after hearing that it was an ancient beast.
That blockage seemed like it was put by some expert, probably within the higher realms.
Even ancient beasts and mythical creatures have their own clans.
So he didn't know whether the young Wei Wei had some sort of Heaven-defying fate that he was unaware of.
Maybe it was dropped here as a baby?
Maybe it would like to look for its parents?
Chu Che didn't know what to think.
But he was sure that Wei Wei had some strange past.
'System, can Wei Wei talk?'
[Host, not at its cultivation level. But in the future, it will. Nonetheless, even though it can't speak yet, because of the seal of ownership on the Host's hands, it can properly understand the host and take instructions no matter where the host is. In short, the host now has telepathy with Wei Wei.]
~Whoof Whoof.
Chu Che looked at Wei Wei, bent down, rubbed its head, and smiled.
"Wei Wei, now that you've just broken past your mortal body, you can finally start cultivating."
~Whoof Whoof.
Wei Wei barked and jumped merrily, all the while looking at Chu Che gratefully.
.
In one swoop, Chu Che picked him up and placed him within his shirt.
Wei Wei was still new to cultivation and would be undoubtedly slower than he was.
There was no time to waste. So he decided to carry the little guy.
Like that, both man and pup dashed left the city and made their way through the thick forest region.
Now he could begin his A-class mission.
According to the system's information, this forest should contain the rare Yellow Fingot herb
The system's map was currently dark right now.
But every path that he took would be illuminated.
And after it lit up, he could then tell if any creatures or living organisms were around him.
Even though the place set out for discovery on the map was vast with hills, mountains, cliffs, etc... the good thing was that for every mission, the system had drawn a triangular red dot around the targeted area that he was meant to explore.
Bottom line, he was supposed to step out of the boundary if he ever wanted to find the herd.
So if the path he took didn't lead him to be herb, he could just take another until the entire targeted area lit up from its current Pitch-black appearance.
Of course, one shouldn't underestimate the amount of land to cover within the perimeters.
With his speed and cultivation level, it would take an entire day to run across the place without stopping.
But for those with lower cultivations, it might take days.
With Wei Wei in his chest, he dashed away like lightning.
Now, where exactly was the Yellow Fingot?
.
4 hours had gone by, and he still hadn't found the Yellow Fingot herb yet.
Nonetheless, those watching the live broadcast weren't bored.
Why? Because the camera had been capturing him doing several stunts.
First, he saved a baby 1-star tiger cub from getting eaten by a 2-star Jade Scorpion, the size of himself.
Then, he passed through a jungle region with several dangerous baboons and ran while swinging from vine to vine.
Following that, he even did an Olympic-level dive down a cliff.
But the most shocking thing was that mid-air, he took out, and his sword began air-surfing downwards.
And when he was about to splash the water, the sword tilted upwards, sliding on the water until it reached the shores.
"I'll go! Boss, are you trying to provoke us? We know that you're better than us, alright?"
"I'm now a devoted fan of the boss! Just look at the boss's face? No matter what he faces, it's always the same."
"My dear, I was almost licking my membership card at the boss's awesomeness."
"Wait! Have you guys realized we still don't know the boss's full strength?"
"Yeah, that's true! All this time, the boss hasn't fought and has just been avoiding everything."
"Guys, is the boss weak?"
"No way! I think it's because he wants to save his energy for his missions."
"Hahahahahahahahaha. Did anyone see how shocked Wei Wei's face was?"
"Little Wei Wei almost had a heart attack when they first jumped off the cliff."
"Aiyo... I'm sure after the boss glided up his sword, Wei Wei was more relieved that he hadn't contracted a mad man as his master."
"Hahahahahahaha. Poor Wei Wei."
