Chapter 58: Pet Egg?

The paper-drawn Storm Leg actually appeared in the same refresh cycle as Life Return.

Moreover, it required no further random dice roll, avoiding duplication.

One had to admit, this mechanism was quite conscientious.

Siano gargled and spat the water from his mouth, nodded in satisfaction, and casually added it to his shopping cart.

Next item!

……

【Yone's Sealed Dust, Severed Thoughts Secret Manual】

【Type: Cultivation Secret Manual】

【Price: 1000 Points】

【Description: A powerful sword technique exclusive to dual-blade swordsmen; upon release, the swordsman surges forward, displacing to a distant location, while the two blades cross, unleashing a fierce hurricane that sweeps all enemies in its path into the air, inducing a brief state of stagnation and loss of control, and dealing massive damage the moment you land】

【The maximum displacement distance can reach several kilometers; besides its large-scale AOE damage, it is also an excellent escape and survival skill】

【Seller's Note: Stolen from Yasuo; currently being tied to a tree and beaten by Ionian villagers, what do I do, very urgent, waiting online】

A sword technique.

And it can only be used by a dual-blade swordsman?

Wiping his face with a Mao Jin, Siano felt somewhat hesitant.

It seemed he couldn't use it?

However...

The definition of this "swordsman" should automatically switch to the standards of his own world; in plain terms, it meant comprehending the Breath of All Things and reaching the level capable of "cutting iron."

"Cutting iron?"

Siano subconsciously looked at his two arms, knotted with powerful muscles, described as steel-cast and iron-forged without any exaggeration.

Their strength was so high that only a single barrier separated him from cutting iron.

If he continued to train bitterly, raising his physical strength another tier, and then utilized Life Return to transform both arms into shapes resembling sword blades...

Then wouldn't he also count as a dual-blade swordsman capable of cutting iron?

Siano was genuinely tempted.

He felt there was a probability he could exploit this loophole; missing out on such a powerful sword technique would indeed be a pity, and even if it didn't work, he could always give it to his crewmen in the future.

Besides, for him right now, one thousand points was indeed not expensive.

At worst, he could just go draw a tube of Sanji's blood again next year.

"Buying it!"

Having made up his mind, Siano added it to his shopping cart as well.

Speaking of which.

Why did these sellers from other worlds constantly embarrass themselves here, getting tracked down by the aggrieved parties at the drop of a hat?

"It's still that their automatic pickup skills aren't up to par," Siano shook his head and sighed.

They were all in the same trade; compared to himself, the rightful Pirate King, the gap was truly significant; if one's skills were poor, one should practice more.

……

【Shizuka Minamoto's Bathtub】

【Type: Miscellaneous Item】

【Price: 2500 Points】

【Description: Although it is just an ordinary bathtub, when shrouded in mist, it carries the innocent and beautiful fantasies of countless people from their childhood】

【Seller's Not—

Sometimes, reading too fast was not a good thing; by the time he realized what he had read, it was already too late.

Siano made the "old man on the subway looking at a phone" expression, pressed his forehead unable to bear looking, and immediately jumped to the next one.

No way, you went to the world of the Blue Fatty and this is what you're selling to the brothers? And you dare to sell it at such an outrageous price?

What about the If-Phone-Booth? What about the Magic Trumpet? What about the Anywhere Door? If nothing else, even the Take-Copter would be good!

Really, lewd obese otaku should be banned from traversing worlds!

……

【Random Pet Egg】

【Type: Special Item】

【Price: 1500 Points】

【Description: After purchasing the Pet Egg, a random category and bloodline pet whelp will be selected via dice roll; bloodlines are divided into five grades from D to S, and initial loyalty will be determined based on the whelp's category and the host's first impression】

【Upon obtaining a pet for the first time, the Pet Panel will be unlocked】

【Seller's Note: None, direct system sales】

"A pet egg?"

Just as Siano walked into the kitchen to eat breakfast, he felt somewhat surprised upon seeing this.

So there was this function after all; chewing on his bread, he thought for a moment, then chose to add it to his shopping cart.

The quality of direct system sales was always highly guaranteed; the pets that could be hatched here naturally couldn't be the cats and dogs kept by ordinary families, but rather ones capable of providing combat assistance.

This was also the first time he had encountered a completely random item, and he was quite curious about what exactly might hatch from it.

As for the subsequent few items, after a rough browse, they all had mediocre cost-performance ratios; lacking interest, Siano skipped them one by one and chose to check out.

Four items in total, costing 5100, leaving a remaining balance of 41050 points.

Opening the backpack panel, Life Return, the Six Styles Secret Manual, and the Sword Technique Secret Manual were already arranged in sequence.

Beside them, a new Pet Panel had been created, where the recently purchased Random Pet Egg rested quietly.

Siano subconsciously looked around.

The kitchen was empty, no figures were visible outside the window either; Bell-mère had prepared breakfast and then hurried off to busy herself at the tangerine processing workshop.

As for Nami and Nojiko, after half a month of arduous travel, they had only arrived home last night; they were sleeping soundly through day and night and had not yet gotten up.

With nothing left to worry about, Siano directly tapped the pet egg, and immediately an iron-gray twenty-sided die popped up before him, beginning to spin rapidly—

【Random selection in progress, please wait】

【You have obtained a new pet: Silver Wolf Pup】

【Hatching in progress...】

The die vanished without a trace, while the egg in the pet slot had somehow turned silver-white and was slowly cracking open from the top.

Crack, crack.

Before long, the top of the eggshell completely shattered; as a fluffy little head poked out, it also moved from the pet slot into reality.

【Bloodline Rating: A+】

【Initial Loyalty: 89】

【Description: The Silver Wolf clan dwelling by Little Bright Light Lake has always been renowned for its terrifying combat power, and the pup you have obtained belongs to the Silver Wolf Wang Zu, possessing even more astonishing bloodline potential】

After reading the alert box floating before his eyes, Siano shifted his gaze past the system panel to rest on his own knees.

"This is a pup of the Silver Wolf Wang Zu?"

He lifted the little creature in his hand with a face full of suspicion; its fur was a dull, drab gray, it was chubby and soft, its little tail wagging back and forth, and its eyes were full of wisdom—

For real? Isn't this just an Alaskan Pig?

"Woof-woof!"

The milky, youthful bark made Siano's eyebrow twitch; the little fellow, completely unaware that its master was questioning its lineage, drooped its fluffy triangular ears and went *lap, lap* with its pink tongue, licking the scabbed wound on his arm.

After being stopped by Siano, it let out a aggrieved whimper, rolled over onto its belly, flapped its four snowball-like paws twice, and exposed its light pink paw pads.

"Uh..."

Well, at least it really is quite cute.

Siano's tough-guy heart melted; unable to resist for a moment, he lowered his head and vigorously rubbed it, then stroked its somewhat shriveled belly.

"Hungry?"

The little Alaskan Pig nodded busily.

"Then what do you want to eat? This?"

Siano tentatively offered the slice of toast bread in front of him, but it merely sniffed it before turning its head away.

"Then, this?"

The large table of breakfast dishes had barely been touched; Siano picked out the staple foods and meats, trying them one by one, yet all were ignored, making him scratch his head and feel somewhat at a loss.

Why doesn't this system come with a complimentary pet-raising guide?

He knew how to raise ordinary cats and dogs, but for a Silver Wolf Wang Zu pup, only heaven knows what to feed it.

It won't even eat grilled steak; does it have to be raw?

While pondering, Siano casually took out some strawberry milk from the refrigerator; he had just taken a sip when suddenly a commotion of a boar charging fiercely erupted beneath his feet.

Siano stared in astonishment at the Silver Wolf pup below, which was nuzzling his calf with a face full of longing. "You like drinking strawberry milk?"

"Woof-woof!!!"

The Silver Wolf pup spun around excitedly, its little tail wagging so fast it was nearly becoming a propeller.

Thanks to Feng Xiaoxiao Lei for the donation support; the second update will likely be around six or seven in the evening.
