Chapter 400: Chapter 153: Version Update, Pet Store

[Challenger Tips (All Channels): The game is about to undergo a version update. This update will add a new functional building to Imperial Tomb Village: the Pet Store.]

Update Content One: Pet Store (Functional Building):

Location: Imperial Tomb Village Space, East Area, Coordinates: 1328.2832 (You can see the functional building icon by opening the map function)

Function Introduction: Players can go to the Pet Store, spend sacrificial power to purchase initial pets for cultivation. Each type of initial pet has special skills and can improve its level by consuming sacrificial power, enhancing the special ability effects.

Update Content Two: Pet Space.

Function Introduction: Players can spend 1500 sacrificial power to create a portable Pet Space to place growth pets.

Update Content Three: Free Pet Purification Function

Function Introduction: Players can use the pet function panel to spend sacrificial power to purify the life forms from Monster World captured through controlled life souls. Purified pets can be brought back to the Newbie Village space.

Notice: Freely captured pets cannot be upgraded or cultivated, and their death cannot be resurrected.

(This update is an online update and does not require players to go offline and wait.)

In this update, Qi Sheng emphasized that freely captured pets cannot be resurrected.

After all, free pets are not connected to the Challenger System, and are not part of the Challenger System. They can’t be reshaped underground in Imperial Tomb Village like players.

To achieve this, one needs to initialize the life structure of free pets and connect them to the Challenger System.

To fully restore the combat level of free pets, the sacrificial power needed is beyond what players can bear at this stage.

Especially those free pets with combat levels far superior to players.

Also, some special free pets cannot be recreated just by reshaping.

For instance, Shuyan Warriors require the rules of brushes, pens, and books to drive their foundational structure.

Without the corresponding rules, special pets like Shuyan Warriors cannot be initialized or reshaped.

Another reason is that free pets don’t hold much meaning in his eyes.

Though they can assist in the growth and construction of the Player Corps, they cannot become a core system, and he won’t allow players to burn through large amounts of sacrificial power on cultivating free pets.

With the challenger tips ringing across all channels.

The Imperial Tomb Village Space shook, and a new building rose from the ground.

The players in the Imperial Tomb Village Space opened the map and saw a new mini tree icon in the East Area, touching it with their consciousness to get detailed information about the new building.

The launch of the new functional building immediately attracted a large number of players.

Inquisitive players outside voluntarily entered the small dark room for seclusion, trying to take a shortcut home through soul return to Emperor Zhao to quickly experience the new features.

However, more players outside chose to wait for the Strategy Party experts on the forum to provide detailed introductions and experience evaluations of the new features.

This is also the experience of seasoned players.

When it comes to spending sacrificial power, it’s best to wait for detailed guides on the forum before taking action.

Just like the last time when the armed vehicles feature was launched.

A large number of players spent time and effort assembling arms and vehicles themselves, only to find that it’s simpler to download popular templates from the forum and copy them.

With the last experience in mind, most players this time are waiting for the evaluation results before choosing the pets they desire based on the evaluation introduction.

...

Earth, Yelan City.

"Xiao Yun, get ready to eat!"

After Mom’s shout, a series of rapid footsteps approached.

Sitting down at the dining table, Pei Yun looked up at his mother busy in the kitchen.

The sunset glow spilled through the window, onto the busy figure of his mother. She wore a slightly faded yet always clean and tidy apron while skillfully chopping vegetables on the cutting board. The knife clashed rhythmically with the board, making a rhythmic sound.

Drip drip drip, whoosh.

The flame on the stove jumped up, licking the bottom of the pot, splattering oil and making a slight "sizzle" sound.

Soon, the last delicious dish was out of the pot and placed on the dining table by Mom.

Braised ribs, steamed perch, tomato egg soup... the dining table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.

Mom wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, glanced over the dishes, and looked at Pei Yun with a satisfied smile:

"Try and see if your mom’s cooking skills have regressed."

"Okay."

Ever since his mother’s gene damage disorder miraculously recovered, her condition improved day by day.

During this period, she went to the hospital for multiple check-ups, with no further worsening of her health.

After confirming full recovery with this morning’s check-up, the joyful mother eagerly wanted to cook a meal for him.

Of course, Pei Yun agreed immediately.

Having not tasted his mother’s cooking for a long time, he picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of braised meat into his mouth.

As the braised meat touched his tongue, Pei Yun couldn’t help but frown, but he still put the braised meat into his mouth.

Chewing carefully, a strange taste spread in his mouth.

The texture of the meat was rough, like chewing on sandpaper. Each bite felt like a tough tug-of-war, with the food resisting fiercely between his teeth, refusing to be easily crushed. The dry meat absorbed all the moisture in his mouth, and his throat instinctively resisted swallowing, as if a force was preventing the food from reaching the stomach.

"Is it not tasty?" noticing Pei Yun’s odd expression, Mom picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of braised meat, and put it into her mouth.

After chewing, Mom appeared puzzled:

"There’s nothing wrong, this braised meat is quite tasty."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yun sighed helplessly:

"It’s not a problem with you, Mom. It’s a problem with me."
