Hopefully, the developers of World of Disorder designed the pet system with separate feeding and storage functions, otherwise... my two bandage packs are going to be gone.
Just as he began to wait anxiously, the surrounding players suddenly became noisy.
"Holy crap, isn't this a dog crate?"
One of the players suddenly let out a strange cry.
" Chester, right? I knew someone thought the same thing as me."
The two players, who had a certain sense of déjà vu, exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then continued to look at [ Soaring Clouds 6365 ]'s experiment.
It seems that the Vine Dog isn't just a decorative pet; at least it can be used to carry things, just like a dog crate.
For players adventuring in the Wilderness of Chaos, who wouldn't want a portable chest that can always follow them?
However, looking at the size of the Vine Dog, everyone began to have some doubts about its capacity.
[ Soaring Clouds 6365 ] had the same thought.
He frantically searched his body but couldn't find anything suitable for his experiment.
He looked around again and saw two extra flowerpots placed in the corner...
These flowerpots were recently purchased by the players from the general store for Planting Vine Dog seeds.
Because most of the plants in the World of Disorder are quite wild, the flowerpots are also quite large.
[ Soaring Clouds 6365 ] looked at the flowerpot large enough for two Vine Dog, then at his own little dog, and silently prayed in his heart:
I hope you really can be resurrected.
Five minutes later, he first took two Vine Bandage Pack out of the Vine Dog's belly, then placed the flowerpot in front of the Vine Dog:
"Please save this for me."
This time, the Vine Dog did not obediently open its mouth. It glanced at its owner, then turned to look at the flowerpot, which was about the width of a human waist and could easily hold three small Vine Dog. It tentatively opened its mouth and then closed it again.
It looked at its owner, then at the flowerpot.
He glanced at the owner, then at the flowerpot...
"Woof."
"It's like a dog," said Vine Dog.
Hahahaha!
A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd of onlookers. [ Soaring Clouds 2828 ] pointed at [ Soaring Clouds 6365 ] and laughed, "..."
"Shall I translate it for you?"
Before the other person could answer, he had already started imitating the classic internet celebrity tone:
It means: 'I'm a complete idiot, do I look like an idiot to you?'
[ Soaring Clouds 6365 ] realized at this moment that his request was a bit excessive, but the Soul Returner never lost face, so he immediately retorted:
"I can't understand dog talk, but you can, so you're the better one."
[ Soaring Clouds 2828 ] was not to be outdone:
"I can't understand dogs, but I can tell that some people are doing dog-like things."
"Alright, stop arguing."
[ Soaring Clouds ], as the leader, stepped forward to mediate the conflict between the two:
"Perhaps it's just because of its juvenile form; maybe with some time, it will be able to keep up the act..."
"That is!"
[ Soaring Clouds 6365 ] snorted and then fell silent.
A few minutes later, all the Vine Dog had detached from their roots.
[ Soaring Clouds ] looked at the group's feet and noticed that not all of the Vine Dog looked the same.
Although the newly hatched Vine Dog are about the same size as small dogs, their appearances are quite different, seemingly based on different real-world dog breeds.
However, in terms of abilities, these Vine Dog, which have different appearances, are relatively uniform.
After about half an hour of familiarization, besides the standard pet feature of "one-click follow," players have roughly developed three stable functions for the Vine Dog.
Eating, storing, and playing dead.
Eating and storage go without saying; the basic process is similar to what [ Soaring Clouds 6365 ] demonstrated before.
As for playing dead, a skill that dogs possess in real life, Vine Dog can do the same.
As long as the actual meaning of the "play dead" command can be conveyed to the Vine Dog, these little guys will immediately collapse on the spot.
The vines that make up the body will also lose their resilience in an instant, looking like a ball of dark green yarn that no one wants by the roadside.
Looking at the Vine Dog, each with its own unique death, [ Soaring Clouds ] couldn't help but sigh softly:
"The production team put a lot of effort into it."
He then clapped his hands and gave the task to everyone:
"Everyone, stop playing with the dogs, gather around!"
"3773, take half the men to the woods. Didn't we just take on a few gold-farming quests? Finish them as soon as possible."
"Yes, boss!"
"Everyone else, join me, let's continue playing Plants vs. Zombies! I heard from [ Shit Appraisal Master ] that the batch we caught last time sold out in one night. Everyone, catch as many as you can! Blood Corpse that have been properly disposed of won't have any trouble selling!"
"What about Luoli?"
One of the players suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at the new employee who had been slacking off in a corner of Soaring Sky Studio.
Every gaze was like a needle, and Luoli felt a chill run down his spine and his body trembled.
However, he had already made up his mind to be a good lackey, so he immediately adjusted his state and shouted in a somewhat old but still loud voice:
"No matter the task, I am willing to serve you, Lord Soul Returner!"
Seeing Luoli's exaggerated manner, which was almost as exaggerated as "Shouting Out Loud," the players all showed standard, meme-like smiles.
[ Soaring Clouds ] waved his hand and shouted with great pride:
"Take him with you, let's go!"
Ed watched the players grow the Vine Dog from start to finish and carefully recorded the details.
At first, he only wanted to create a system similar to summoning beasts, and the Aberration creature he wanted to make was not Vine Dog but a tree-like creature.
However, considering that some young people in the Second Holy See had actually been treants for a period of time, and that there were even a number of half-treants still existing today, he felt that doing so was not a good idea.
The players aren't lacking in combat power anyway. If they were given treant followers, the cost of resurrecting the followers would be almost the same as that of their masters.
If such a system goes online, it's really hard to say who will be the follower and who will be the master.
So after much deliberation, Ed ultimately chose Vine Dog as the creation for this project.
In terms of results, this creation was a great success. Ed looks forward to [ Soaring Clouds ] submitting the Vine Dog to the list of rare items in the World of Disorder, intending to see its popularity among players before deciding whether to add any new features.
Just then, Little Green suddenly sent a notification in her mind:
" Duma submitted military reports from the southern front over the past week, which are currently pending review."
"Good."
Ed casually agreed, speaking as if to himself or to Little Green:
" The Klaf City was just discovered in the Wilderness of Chaos, and now there's another discovery to the south. What a coincidence."
