Void Dire Wolf

After a hundred hours of waiting, the Exotic Beast Egg finally hatched!

However, when Han Xing regained his vision, neither the dragon nor any other Legendary Creature he had imagined appeared.

Before him stood a creature that looked like a canine cub.

The pitch-black creature had two drooping ears, a round head, and a short body. It stared at Han Xing with big, watery eyes, looking utterly bewildered.

Han Xing stared back at it.

One man and one dog locked eyes.

"Fuck, a little mutt???"

Han Xing was the first to speak, his eyes widening with shock—and a hint of disappointment...

He had thought that the Exotic Beast Egg he had taken from the Demon Lord would surely be extraordinary.

Even if it did not hatch into a Legendary Creature like a dragon, it should at least have produced something like a Behemoth or a fire phoenix, right?

But now, aside from its black fur, this completely black little thing looked exactly like a mutt puppy.

Han Xing was speechless.

However, in the next second, a faint black glow suddenly emerged from the black puppy-like creature.

Before Han Xing could even realize what had happened, he saw a Black Shadow flash past, and the black puppy had disappeared.

"???"

Han Xing's face filled with question marks as he said in surprise, "What the hell just flew by?"

Next Moment, he suddenly caught sight of the black puppy at his feet.

Its mouths hung open as it panted hot breath at him with its tongue out, while its four tiny legs excitedly pawed at his boots.

At that moment, he also caught sight of this husky puppy's attributes.

Han Xing: "???"

Han Xing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He asked in disbelief, "So you're not a dog—you're a wolf!?"

He pointed at the pitch-black puppy on the ground.

The canine cub seemed to understand Han Xing's words. It nodded excitedly, then kept circling around his feet.

Han Xing took a deep breath. Once he confirmed the breed of this black puppy, the disappointment in his heart was swept away completely!

In its place came uncontrollable ecstasy!

He said excitedly, "I have no idea what a Void Dire Wolf is, but that name alone sounds badass. This is an absolute steal!"

"And these attributes... they're completely insane!"

"A newborn with six skills, plus S+ Growth Value—this is clearly the template for a Legendary pet!"

While Han Xing was beside himself with excitement.

The Wolf Cub, seeing that Han Xing was ignoring him, flopped onto the ground and began rolling around in a tantrum.

Han Xing's mouth twitched. If the pet panel had not stated that this was a wolf—

—and a Void Clan creature with S+ Growth Value—it would have been hard not to suspect that he was just a puppy.

Han Xing crouched down and picked up the palm-sized black puppy.

Held in midair by Han Xing, he seemed incredibly excited. His short limbs flailed wildly, his tongue hung out, and hot breath kept puffing against Han Xing's face.

Although the little fellow's appearance did not quite meet Han Xing's expectations, his attributes were undeniably powerful.

Han Xing was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "How about I call you Meiqiu from now on? You're so black, after all."

The black puppy froze for a moment, then began flailing excitedly in Han Xing's hands again, seemingly very pleased with the name.

"Meiqiu?"

Han Xing tried calling him. Upon hearing the name, the Wolf Cub became even more excited.

"Ha ha!" Han Xing happily rubbed his little head.

Just then, Meiqiu jumped down from Han Xing's hands.

He excitedly pawed at Han Xing's waistband...

—the Space Backpack hanging from it.

With a ripping sound, Han Xing's expression instantly changed. "Fuck! Pull more gently! Don't you know how sharp your wolf claws are?"

Han Xing looked utterly speechless as he hurriedly pulled up his pants.

Meiqiu looked at him blankly from the ground.

Recalling Meiqiu's earlier actions, Han Xing realized that something in his backpack might have attracted him.

So, Han Xing took out the items in his backpack one by one, from equipment and Spirit Spring Water to all sorts of materials.

Meiqiu showed no interest in any of them.

Until Han Xing took out a small bead emanating a green aura, Meiqiu immediately jumped up excitedly.

"You want this?" Han Xing's expression turned strange, because what he held was a Spirit Core.

Meiqiu seemed to understand him and began hopping in place.

It seemed that Spirit Cores held a certain attraction for pets, though Han Xing did not know what they did.

Han Xing stroked his chin and pondered. With that thought, he directly tossed out the Spirit Core in his hand.

A black light flashed across Meiqiu's body. At a terrifying speed, he instantly snatched the Spirit Core out of the air.

Then, with a gulp, he swallowed it.

At the same time, a System Prompt appeared.

Successfully fed pet. Meiqiu's Favorability +1, Satiety +1, Potential Value +1.

"Potential Value?" Han Xing suddenly noticed the final prompt from the system.

He remembered that the Growth Value section on the pet panel had explained the function of Potential Value.

Every 10,000 Potential Value could increase a pet's Growth Value once.

For example, a pet with C-rank Growth Value would become B-rank after consuming 10,000 Potential Value, and so on.

The higher a pet's Growth Value, the more attributes it gained with every level.

Therefore, the earlier a pet's Growth Value was increased, the better.

Han Xing stroked his chin and pondered. "So feeding one Spirit Core gives one point of Potential Value."

"Doesn't that mean I can feed Meiqiu 10,000 Spirit Cores in one go and directly raise his Growth Value by another rank?"

Meiqiu's current Growth Value had already reached S+. If it rose again, it might reach the legendary SS rank!
