Chapter 53 (1/2)

The mischievous Pet System continued sending alerts to Wei Huo, but one particular alert caught his attention.

‘Every move the Player makes will influence the Pet. Every choice the Player makes will result in different Pet evolutions which will lead to different endings. The Player is cautioned to take note!

Wei Huo was confused. Was this Pet System stolen from an actual game? Was it possible to unlock unique achievements as well?

Given how weird the system’s salutations were, Wei Huo thought it was possible.

After knowing that his behavior could influence Wei Sha, Wei Huo no longer dared to give random orders to her. He said to Wei Sha, “Stand up, you don’t have to kneel before me whenever you see me in the future. You also don’t have to address me as the Big Divine Man.”

“Understood, Big Divine Man!” Wei Sha stood up.

Wei Huo’s brows scrunched together. “There’s no way to change the salutation, is there?”

Wei Sha replied, “That is correct, Big Divine Man.”

Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief. ‘It was indeed a trap, phew! That was close!’

Wei Huo was still sitting on the Rhinoceros as he said, “That’s great, let’s set out!”

Wei Sha grabbed the Rhinoceros by its horn and said, “Yes, Big Divine Man. I’ll lead the Rhinoceros!”

The Rhinoceros was confused. “???”

‘Why do you need to drag me by my horn?’

The Zerg girl tried to drag the Rhinoceros by its horn with all her might. She started running in place and could not take a step further. She was unwilling to concede defeat. She was determined to move forward, but the Rhinoceros still would not budge.

Wei Huo thought it was funny. ‘This Rhinoceros was a Rare-ranked beast, and its attack bar was 167. On top of that, I’m sitting on top of it. There’s no way you could move this weight!’

Wei Huo laughed. “You’re done, get up here.”

Wei Sha loosened her hand and said respectfully to Wei Huo, “Servant does not dare to do so, servant will just follow behind the Big Divine Man.”

Wei Huo did not force it. He patted the back of the Rhinoceros, and it began moving forward. Wei Sha stared at the Rhinoceros in confusion and looked at her own hands. It looked as if she was wondering why she had failed to move this Rhinoceros.

Wei Huo looked over at her and knew what she was thinking.

‘First of all, you’re a newborn baby. Secondly, the Rhinoceros is a fully grown beast which has carried me for the past five years. Its physique has been well-trained.’

Wei Huo did not comfort Wei Sha as he thought this was not a bad thing. It was good to let Wei Sha realize that she was not as strong as she thought she was to avoid becoming too proud of herself. There were many dangerous creatures in nature, and it was important to know one’s own capabilities as well as the enemy’s.

Soon after that, Wei Sha recovered from feeling defeated. She was indeed a Zerg girl with the bloodline of the Demonic Ant Queen. She possessed the perseverance, determination, and fearlessness that were beneficial for her growth.

Wei Huo may have a new travel partner but this time he felt more of a guide. He was the elder this time around as Wei Sha was too young and did not know much. She needed Wei Huo to teach her everything.

One example was when Wei Sha caught a kitten-sized spider and wanted to show off her capabilities.

Wei Huo said patiently, “Wei Sha, spiders can’t be eaten!”

Wei Sha was confused. “Spiders have high protein content, why can’t they be eaten?”

Wei Huo was speechless. “…”
