Chapter 13: Activating the Pet Interface

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Zheng obtained a level 1 gene core from the terror bat whose head had exploded from the headshot.

From the item’s description, the first terror bat that he had accidentally killed was actually an elite.

“What a great coincidence.”

Those who played games often knew that monsters with the ‘elite’ tag were often much stronger than normal monsters.

But Li Zheng killed the first one so easily.

He thought it was strange.

“Could it be that after coming to the matrix, I’ve finally become lucky?”

Otherwise, how could one explain how he killed an elite member of a group of terror bats with a single shot?

“Next time I get something to develop special genes, I should try one myself. With my luck right now, if I’m still not as lucky as Feng Shan…forget it, 2% chance is still too low.”

Li Zheng touched his face and gave up on the idea.

“The terror bats have been decomposed. Now, I should search the room for other supplies.”

With the light in his hand, Li Zheng only took a second to lock onto the resources in the room.

It wasn’t because his vision had suddenly improved, nor that the range of the lantern had increased. There were no supplies directly in front of him either.

It was the detector that gave him a hint.

“Oh, it’s safe in that direction?”

Li Zheng walked towards it and within two minutes, he saw an unfamiliar machine.

It had an oval-shaped exterior, its surface was dirty, and a pungent smell came from it.

[Terror bat feces (gray grade). The feces of genetically-modified creatures that live in caves is the best material for composting.]

Covering his nose and mouth, Li Zheng raised the lantern above his head and looked around. He realized that the area covered by feces was much larger than he had imagined.

“To have that much poop..these terror bats must have stayed in this room for a long time.”

Li Zheng wondered, “what do these terror bats eat?”

“Maybe there’s a lot of food in the room they escaped to?”

“Don’t monsters usually stay near their food? Why would the terror bats stay in this room without any food storage?

“Maybe the key is this machine. Let’s take a look…”

Li Zheng stepped on the terror bat’s feces. He could feel some of the dried feces through the soles of his shoes, making him feel extremely disgusted.

“Ugh…”

Li Zheng could not help but retch. He clutched his nose and mouth even more tightly, almost unable to breathe.

He finally arrived in front of the machine with great difficulty, only to find that the surface of the machine was covered with a thick layer of terror bat feces. Even the system did not give him any other information other than “terror bat feces”.

“F*ck! Do I have to clean it up?”

Li Zheng felt even more nauseated and was on the verge of throwing up.

He had no choice but to hold the lantern in one hand, hold his breath, and take out an item from the capsule with the other hand.

It was a small honey fruit tree.

The shape of the honey fruit tree was similar to a feather duster, which could be put to good use at the moment.

“I feel so sorry for this little tree. After using it, I’ll definitely leave it here.”

He didn’t want to have terror bat feces in his capsule.

Imagine living in a space of 27 cubic meters with feces as your only companion.

Li Zheng couldn’t help but shiver. “It’s just one honey fruit tree, I still have six more.”

The honey fruit tree swept over the machine, and a large amount of feces was swept off, revealing the original appearance of the machine.

It was oval-shaped and had a layer of translucent material on the surface. When the light from the portable lamp shone on it, it seemed like there was a creature lying inside.

[Hibernation chamber. Low temperature. A genetically-modified creature is sleeping.]

Li Zheng took a closer look and finally saw the sleeping creature inside the hibernation pod.

It was one the size of a sparrow!

“A group of 50 to 60 terror bats were here to protect this little one?”

Li Zheng was puzzled.

Such a small terror bat might just be a newborn. Was there a need for 50 to 60 adult terror bats to guard it?

Moreover, there was an elite-level terror bat among them!

“Could it be that there’s something special about this little terror bat?”

Li Zheng couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to open it.

He had already killed more than a dozen adult terror bats, let alone this one that was only a baby.

Even if it did something threatening, he could kill it with a pinch, so there was no need to worry at all.

“The detector indicates that it’s safe? Oh, I guess because it’s still small. ”

Li Zheng didn’t think too much about it and found a button on the side of the hibernation chamber.

He swept away the dirt on the surface, revealing a device similar to an identity card reader.

He took out his ID card and tried to swipe it.

“Beep”

A blue light lit up, and a crack appeared on the side of the hibernation chamber, which rose upward.

A gust of cold air seeped out from the gap, and Li Zheng immediately took a few steps back.

At the same time, a system notification appeared.

[The player has obtained the first genetically-modified creature. The pet interface has been activated.]

[Obtained: a young terror bat (unnamed).]

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

[Omnivorous.]

[Gender: Female]

[Personality: ???]

[Description: a genetically-modified terror bat that is no longer afraid of light and fire.]

[Growth potential: high]

[Status: Healthy/waking up.]

[Abilities: weak venom bite, sensitive]

“A pet!”

Li Zheng’s eyes were wide open. He had thought of this possibility when he first obtained the level 1 gene core, but now he was a little disappointed.

“Why a terror bat?”

And from the description, it was an infant terror bat!

What was the use of this?

An extra mouth to feed?

A group of adult terror bats was by a newbie like him, and had to escape.

What’s the use of this weakling as a pet?

Come on!

It was not easy to survive in the matrix, and now he had one more liability?

There was not enough…

Oh, there was a lot of food. Nevermind.

“Let’s see what this little thing looks like. If it’s cute, it’s not that bad as a pet.”

Li Zheng waited for the cold air in the hibernation chamber to dissipate before he walked forward again.

He moved the lantern to the top of the hibernation chamber and illuminated the interior of the hibernation chamber. A small creature with a pair of black gem-like eyes was looking right at him.

Li Zheng looked at it.

It looked back at Li Zheng.

Perhaps because it was genetically-modified, it only looked 70-80% similar to the terror bats that he had killed earlier.

Although they all had dinosaur heads, the little terror bat did not look as ferocious, and its eyes looked bright.

Perhaps because it was no longer afraid of light.

It had short and soft fur that was greenish-gray in color and glossy.

Four small, short limbs, pink and tender, were curled up in front of its body. At this moment, it was trying to grab something.

“Wow, you look surprisingly good.”

Li Zheng’s brows raised. He’d adopt her.

“Come, come out.”

Li Zheng threw the honey fruit tree away and reached into the hibernation chamber. He gently picked up the little thing and pulled it out.

The little terror bat’s body was still a little stiff. With a flip of his hand, it landed in his palm, and he used his body temperature to warm it up.

He carried the little terror bat out of the feces-covered machine. It was already able to stand up in Li Zheng’s hands.

As soon as it got up, the little creature tried to climb up his arm.

However, just as it reached its wrist, it slipped.

And fell to the ground.

The little creature stood up with a grunt and climbed onto Li Zheng’s shoes. It then grabbed the bottom of his pants and started climbing.

After just a few steps, it fell down again.

This time, it landed on Li Zheng’s shoe.

It got up and tried again.

And again.

Until it was exhausted and panting on Li Zheng’s shoe.

“What are you doing?”

Li Zheng had been watching its performance the whole time. Seeing that it was tired, he bent over and picked it up in his hands.
