Chapter 401: Chapter 153: Version Update, Pet Store_2

He naturally knew where the problem lay.

Having recently indulged in various delicious spirit food in the Monster World, his taste buds were like spoiled children, becoming extremely picky.

The gustatory experience brought by food with spiritual attributes is divided into two types: one is the ultimate taste bud experience, and the other is an intense feedback on the spiritual level.

The spirit food that enters the mouth, after being swallowed, seems to have every cell in the body competing for the delicious substance; every bite is a full-spectrum enjoyment from taste buds to the soul, even producing an indescribable sense of happiness.

Compared to this, food in reality is featureless, making it even difficult for him to swallow.

Looking at the plain home-cooked dishes on the table, Pei Yun had no interest at all.

The once beloved "taste of mom" had lost its luster in his eyes.

Feeling slightly unwilling, Pei Yun shifted his target, picking up a piece of seasonal vegetable and putting it into his mouth, but the result was still bland and tasteless, like chewing on dry grass.

"Mom, I can’t eat anymore." Forcing down a few more bites, Pei Yun put down his chopsticks.

Seeing the disappointment on his mother’s face, he quickly explained:

"Mom, it’s definitely not your cooking. The problem is with my taste buds, you know I’ve been playing this virtual game lately, where the food feedback is extremely delicious, which has caused my taste bud experience to malfunction...."

After listening to Pei Yun’s account, his mother couldn’t help but sigh:

"Are you going to rely on nutritional fluids to survive from now on?"

"It’s not impossible. From a nutritional standpoint, nutritional fluids are healthier for the body, and satisfying cravings in the game works too; maybe doing this will let me live longer."

"You always find excuses with that glib tongue of yours."

"This has scientific backing; I’ll find some materials to show you."

Saying this, Pei Yun took out his phone from his pocket, ready to search for evidence for his mother.

As soon as he woke up the screen, he saw a string of message notifications.

Many of them were messages from friends in the game.

There was also a specially customized special effects message pinned at the top at high cost:

Divine King: Hei Ye brother, the pet feature is online. I noticed you’re not online, so I’m reminding you offline. Hurry up and release a strategy post so I can prepare a battle mode that integrates the pet function. The reward is ready for you in advance; get busy, now!

Realizing a new feature was online in the game, Pei Yun suddenly became interested. He looked at his mother who was eating:

"Mom, I’m going to play the game."

His mother glanced at him with mock irritation while holding her bowl:

"Go ahead, you’ll be relying on that game to support yourself, after all."

"Mom, remember to grab the game qualification on time; I’ve already transferred money to your account, and when you get the Dark Land qualification, you can also come and play the game. You like scenery, right? You can become one of the Scenery Faction Players in the game; the views in the game are breathtaking."

Saying this, before his mother could respond, Pei Yun hurriedly got up and headed to his room.

Back in his room, Pei Yun decisively changed into his game suit and dove into the game pod.

Before long, he logged into the Colorful Mist Coast Space.

Through the teleportation array, he arrived at Imperial Tomb Village Space, which was overcrowded.

Since a large number of newbie players flooded in, Imperial Tomb Village Space had become extremely congested, in stark contrast to the quiet scenes when he first entered the game.

His gaze swept over.

Players from the Tianyu Clan soaring with wings, Giant Python Clan players nearly three meters tall, slim blue-skinned Abyss Fish Clan players... it was as if he had instantaneously traveled to an otherworldly land where alien races cohabited.

Varieties of bizarre vehicles roamed, making the scene at Newbie Village extraordinarily surreal.

Activating the map feature, he noticed a new surface structure mark in the city’s eastern district.

Immediately, he summoned his unicycle, using his consciousness to steer toward the new building feature.

Before long, he arrived at the marked location.

At the end of his sight was a Pet Store whose overall structure resembled a robust old tree, with the entrance carved into the trunk area, its surface covered in moss and vines.

The tree’s crown was like a giant green umbrella, with lush branches and leaves extending outward, layer upon layer, shrouding the nearby scene, and its hanging fruits glowing like multicolored lanterns.

A green grassy expanse surrounded the ancient tree, covered with flowers of various colors, with a faint fragrance wafting through the air.

This was the latest feature building: the Pet Store.

Numerous players gathered nearby, entering the new building one after another, making it extremely crowded.

Stowing away his vehicle, Pei Yun followed the crowd, entering the dark hollow within the tree.

Spending 2 points of sacrificial power, the scene transitioned.

Upon entering the new feature building, it turned out to be a separate layered space.

Once the vision cleared, what greeted him was a cozy shop under soft lighting.

The shop floor was paved with polished colorful stone slabs, each printed with cute animal patterns. The surrounding walls were constructed from an unknown wood exuding a faint wood aroma, adorned with various exquisite pet portraits, from majestic dragons to petite Fat Peaches. Each portrait was vivid, seemingly ready to leap out from the frame in the next moment.

Inside the shop were rows of uniquely designed pet cages and display stands, but one could basically determine that these were just store decorations; the method of acquiring pets was obviously not through selection here.

In the center of the store stood a round stone platform, on which was placed a giant crystal ball, its interior swirling with clouds and constantly switching between different pet forms.

"Guidance, how do I select a pet here?"

When in doubt, ask Guidance; Pei Yun immediately turned to look at the Guiding Water Ball floating lazily beside him.
