Chapter 52 (1/2)

Wei Huo was suddenly interested in the Pet System as it was pretty unique.

First, the Incubation Tab. Wei Huo checked the incubation requirements for the three insect eggs, and he realized that he needed to add five different materials into the tab prior to their incubation. Depending on different material combinations used for incubation, the insect eggs would hatch into different pets.

Wei Huo tested it out and realized that he could add his robotic arms, some random rocks, and even the tamed rhinoceros pet into the tab. Each item would take up one slot, and as long as all five slots were filled, the incubation process would begin.

Wei Huo was a little confused. The insect eggs were only as big as a football, what was the point of being able to add a rhinoceros into the tab?

Wei Huo was curious about the Incubation Tab, and he had three insect eggs anyway. Hence, he decided to test it out.

First, he added a drop of his blood essence which took up a slot in the tab. Wei Huo then added the two-meter tall robotic arm into it, and it also took up a slot. Wei Huo went on to search for huge things to add into the tab.

Men loved huge things!

Except for the drop of blood essence, Wei Huo added four of his robotic inventions to the tab — Including unfinished ones as well.

The incubation began after all five materials were added to the tab. An alert that read ‘Incubation Time: 97 days, 4 hours, 52 minutes.’ appeared in the tab.

Wei Huo was confused. ‘Why did the incubation time include the minutes needed as well?’ It was probably because the tab needed exactly this much time to process the four robotic items. If the materials added to the tab were rarer, the incubation time needed would probably be longer.

Three months were not too far away, it would be over before Wei Huo knew it.

Wei Huo waited while he traveled. Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and finally it came to the moment for the egg to hatch. Wei Huo was a little excited as it felt like he was witnessing the birth of his own child.

Although he was a virgin himself…

The insect egg was white but after adding various materials to it, it turned light blue. As it hatched, a magical moment occurred. Mechanical friction sounds could be heard. It sounded exactly like the moment when cars transformed into robots in the ‘Transformers’ movie.

Wei Huo was dumbfounded.

‘What’s going on?’

Click! Sounds of transformation began. The insect egg cracked open and transformed from a football-sized egg to a robotic girl. This girl possessed traits of Demonic Ants as well — such as having antennae on her head — but her body and limbs all seemed robotic at first glance.

Wei Huo was confused.

How did a football-sized insect egg get hatched into a huge Zerg[1] girl?

Wei Huo checked her Attributes Menu.

‘Name: Unnamed.

‘Race: Demonic Ant, Human, Robot.

‘Gender: Female.’

Wei Huo checked her Health Menu and found that her age was 0 year old while her lifespan was 100 years. All of her other abilities were normal. She was only missing the ability to reproduce.

Wei Huo glanced at her. Her body was all blue, and upon closer inspection, she was only robotic on the outside. Her insides were still made of flesh. She had a heart, blood, and her face resembles a human’s. She looked 70% similar to Wei Huo, and he could sense the same Lightning Qi he had from her body.

Moments later, Wei Huo saw an alert on the Pet Menu. ‘Please name your pet.’

Wei Huo looked at the lifeless Zerg girl, and it seemed like she was not going to come alive before being named. Wei Huo gave it some thought before saying, “Let’s call you Sasha.”

The Zerg girl looked like a Hero Skin[2] in one of the games he used to play.

Soon after that, another alert appeared. ‘The pet’s satisfaction of its name is at 25%.’

Wei Huo was left speechless.
