Well, well—this was the equivalent of an extra life!
Wang Wu was overjoyed. This was exactly what he had hoped for.
But he also noticed that beneath this small attribute panel for the Companion Demonic Vine, there was still a great deal of blurred information that had yet to be revealed.
Perhaps it needed to grow further. More likely, he would need to grant the Companion Demonic Vine greater authority before he could obtain those benefits.
Wang Wu did not care much about that. Things were already quite good as they were. One of the crucial conditions for allowing this demonic vine to become his companion was that he had to retain the initiative forever. It could only accompany him on the back of his claws; exceeding that limit was not permitted.
Even if there were better companion talents, he would not be tempted.
Next, Wang Wu observed the Companion Demonic Vine for a while longer and discovered that the thing basically had two modes. In one mode, it grew tender green branches on its own, basked in the sun, absorbed Spiritual Essence, and acquired nutrients for its own growth. At most, it was a guest living on the back of Wang Wu's claws.
The advantage of this mode was that Wang Wu did not have to pay for its meals—he provided lodging but not food, and could even charge rent.
The disadvantage was that it grew slowly.
In the other mode, it could not be seen from the outside at all. No one would know it was a companion. In that case, Wang Wu had to provide both food and lodging.
And it directly consumed his Vitality Points.
The demonic vine's safety line for Vitality Points was 200. Once it fell below 200, it would actively draw Vitality Points
