Pet Simulator Novel - Chapter 102

“An enlightenment realm skill, red-grade characteristics, and A- grade six dimensions,” Wang Ye felt that he had never faced such a difficult choice.

What a headache!

“In terms of skills, most of them are intermediate and advanced, or even emperor skills. Forget about the attributed skills, I can’t use the normal ones either. The special-type skills might work for me, but if their realms are too high, I probably won’t be able to successfully cast them either.”

As the saying goes, it takes a good blacksmith to make steel.

Wang Ye felt that he wasn’t exactly “a good blacksmith” right now…

“Red characteristics, huh.”

Wang Ye looked at the characteristics.

[Absolute Charm (Red): You are a natural beauty, a born succubus with unlimited charm and potential to grow. With this Constitution, you are destined to have a difficult life and suffer countless hardships. In battle, when you use skills related to the phantom attribute, you will receive an extreme bonus.]

[Ancient Spirit (Red): You have a trace of the bloodline of an ancient supreme beast, thus, you are born with extremely high intelligence, extraordinary comprehension abilities, and a long lifespan.]

The red characteristics indeed brought powerful effects that were worthy of them being red-grade.

…

“But they don’t seem to match with me… The difference between our races is huge,” Wang Ye felt that he was, after all, a human, and a man at that.

1

If characteristics like “natural beauty” and “succubus” were to be added to him, what if he became a woman? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

As for the Ancient Spirit and its bloodline of a supreme beast, he was a human. If he integrated with the bloodline of a supreme beast, there would probably be problems.

If he chose this characteristic, the red characteristic might degrade into a gray characteristic due to conflicting issues. That would be a huge loss too.

Its effect was, of course, very strong, but he didn’t seem to need it at the moment.

Wang Ye looked through his options again and narrowed down his choices to two skills and an orange characteristic.

On the cloud hornless dragon’s skill panel, there were only two special-type skills.

The others were all attributed skills.

[Ultimate Sublimation (great success): Advanced special-type skill. Activates bloodline power, forcefully raising one’s combat power by half a level for a certain period, after which one will fall into a weakened state.]

This skill was monstrously strong.

An increase in combat power meant an all-around increase in one’s strength.

[Self-growth (peak mastery): Advanced special-type skill. Unleashes one’s potential, removing controlling effects on one, and quickly restores one’s state to the peak of one’s combat power. If one consumes too much potential, it will have an irreversible effect on one’s body, or even reduce one’s level. After using it, the user would not be able to use it again for some time.]

These two skills were very powerful.

However, the first one relied on the power of the bloodline, so its effects were questionable.

On the other hand, Self-growth was definitely very powerful.

It was just that it did not have any profoundness.

As for the characteristic he had his eyes on…

[Innate Divine Soul (orange): Your soul has been blessed and your spiritual power will be greatly strengthened. When your soul enters a weakened state, the recovery speed of your spiritual power will be greatly increased.]

“I have to choose one of the three. Ultimate Sublimation has bloodline requirements, so it’s not an option. One of two… Well, Innate Divine Soul will do. Everything is based on the simulations. With this characteristic, I can simulate more. Self-growth will unleash one’s potential… What potential can I have? It has a cooldown too…”

After making his choice, Wang Ye immediately felt weak and dizzy.

He was so weak that he directly fell to the ground.

He shakily took out a small pill from his spatial sphere and ate it.

Then, he felt his spiritual power begin to recover rapidly. His brain suddenly cleared up, as if he had slept for a few days and months, only to wake up in the morning and breathe in the fresh air. His spirit had an inexplicable sense of comfort.

With the cloud hornless dragon’s strength and level, running a ten-year reality simulation for it was even more exhausting than running a hundred-year simulation for Xiao Jiu.

After all, the spiritual power consumed by simulation was usually calculated based on the pet’s strength and duration of the simulation.

“If I didn’t choose this characteristic, I would have collapsed after two steps due to spiritual power exhaustion and died, right?” Wang Ye felt a lingering fear in his heart.

It was too damn dangerous.

If the cloud hornless dragon had lived for another ten years or so in the simulation, would he have died before he could even wake up?

He shouldn’t do anything so reckless in the future.

Although he could run simulations on other pets, his body could not take it.

A level 4 pet simulation was already so hard. If the pet he ran the simulation for was at level 5, or those Overlord or Legend-class pets, he would probably die.

“It’s better to just run the simulations for my own pets.”

“Human boy, what’s wrong with you?” Chiyu looked at Wang Ye and frowned. “I don’t think I did anything to you, right?”

Tsk, when it needed something, it called him a human, now he was just a “human boy”.

“It’s nothing,” Wang Ye stood up shakily and stroked the white python that was beside him, “Umm… Senior Chiyu, do you think you can teach it a skill?”

Chiyu nodded slightly and looked at the white python, a hint of envy buried deep in its eyes.

“Then can I choose Ultimate Sublimation?”

Wang Ye was thinking that it would be great if their characteristics could be imparted. Unfortunately, characteristics were not like skills. They either came naturally, appeared over the years, or were comprehended due to fortuitous encounters.

Otherwise, they would be from a bloodline inheritance after evolution, like Xiao Jiu’s characteristics.

“Sure,” Chiyu said lightly.

After saying that, it casually pointed at the white python’s head.

The white python humphed, wrapped itself around Wang Ye’s arm, and turned its head away as if saying that it didn’t want it.

“…” Wang Ye.

“This little fellow is quite arrogant,” Chiyu smiled.

Its smile was quite sinister and strange, though.

Wang Ye straightened the white python’s head, “It’s a skill that you can get for nothing. It’s a waste if you refuse.”

Skills could be trained in simulations, but to comprehend them from zero was not just difficult.

Xiao Jiu had simulated for so long and had only truly comprehended a few.

And that was added by the fact that it had obtained many opportunities.

Special-type skills were even harder to comprehend.

Chiyu pointed at the white python’s head, and its face turned slightly pale. The scars on its face seemed to have increased as well.

“Off you go, then. As the first human to enter the Infernal Relic in a hundred years, you have walked the Demon Path and weren’t Charmed by me,” Chiyu twisted its body and dived into the broken wall before it as its voice echoed faintly, “I hope you can meet Yama, gain his approval, and leave this sinful place.”

Wang Ye looked at Chiyu’s back and was silent for a moment.

This place.

What exactly was this place?

The Infernal Relic.

A dark fog-infected demon tree that could speak human language.

Chiyu, a cloud hornless dragon that was cursed and abandoned in the relic.

Was this really a relic of life? Or was it a place of sin that no one knew about?

Who was Yama?

“This relic…” Wang Ye looked at the gloomy and dark sky. The giant silver tree that connected Heaven and Earth in the distance looked like a man who separated the sky from the ground or a pet who could lift the skies.

“I’d better rest for a day now. I’ve exhausted too much energy in the simulation just now,” Wang Ye didn’t leave the broken wall immediately. Instead, he found a corner and slowly took some medicine to recover.

“I’m going to rest for a while. You keep a lookout for me,” Wang Ye said to the white python, “Keep an eye on Xiao Jiu. Don’t let it roll away.”

The white python nudged Wang Ye, indicating for him to rest well.

Wang Ye took a nap.

In his dreams, he became a king of pets. Not only was he extremely powerful, but he could even capture the Sun and Moon. All of his pets had become giants that were awe-inspiring and unparalleled in the world. When everything was done, they became beast-eared women who snuggled up to him. Just as he was about to enjoy the wonderful life…

He woke up.

Wang Ye opened his eyes and tried hard to recall the scene in his dream. He closed his eyes and wanted to continue his dream…

“Huji!” The white python licked Wang Ye’s ear.

“Alright, alright, I’m awake, I’m awake!” Wang Ye said helplessly.

He stood up feeling fully energized and counted the time. It had been more than ten hours.

He had slept very soundly and for a long time, though it was a little regretful that he had woken up at the crucial moment.

“It doesn’t feel like it’s too far. I should be there soon,” After passing through the broken wall, the giant silver tree in the middle seemed to be not far away.

“Let’s run a simulation first.”

Wang Ye touched the white python.

[The reality simulation begins. Information loading…]

[The two of you continue to move forward. Before long, you reach a rare field. In the field, a fierce beast that calls itself Gluttony appears and tells you that if you want to pass through this field, you need to eat up all the food in this field. If you can’t finish the food, you will turn into the nutrients of the field.]

[You notice that the field was filled with broken bones and remains, which was extremely terrifying. The flowers and fruits growing here were very strange as well. The fruits had the appearance of fierce beasts, and some even looked human-shaped. They smelled very sweet as if they were some kind of rare cultivation resource.]

[You and your beastmaster both feel that something is wrong, but the huge tree in the distance seems to be right in front of you. There seemed to be countless fierce beasts howling around you, making you feel that if you step back, you’ll be devoured by the thousands of beasts. For a moment, the situation was dire. You chose to start eating.]

[After eating for a long time, you felt as if your body was about to burst. Finally, at a certain moment, you couldn’t hold on any longer. Your beastmaster hurriedly carried you away. He started helping you eat the flowers and fruits in the fields, but after eating a few, he couldn’t continue either.]

[In the end, both of you passed out. When you woke up again, you were already outside the relic. Your strength had fallen drastically, and your potential was completely lost.]

[A few months later, both of you died of depression.]

“…”

The result of the simulation was not very good.

Wang Ye frowned slightly.

Even with the white python’s Gluttonous Snake characteristic, it was still unable to survive.

That field…

The simulation time this time was not long, so Wang Ye did not feel very tired.

“Huji!” The white python called out.

“How about we run a scripted simulation?” Wang Ye muttered, “Raise your characteristics to another grade?”

The white python tilted its head.

It didn’t take long for Gluttonous Snake to be upgraded from white to orange, but it would probably take a long time for it to be upgraded from orange to red.

However, considering that the white python was cautious enough, it shouldn’t be a problem.

“Huji!” The white python nodded.

“Alright, let’s do a scripted simulation then,” Wang Ye nodded. These strange stages in the Infernal Relic just made him numb with shock and fear.
