Chapter 86: Nurturing the White Python, Gluttonous Snake!
After returning to his apartment, Wang Ye had a good night’s sleep.
He had a dream, and all the bragging he did just now turned into reality in the dream.
It scared Wang Ye so much that he woke up immediately.
“I’m really not used to it without Xiao Jiu’s cry.”
Usually, when he woke up, Xiao Jiu was probably already chirping beside him.
Today, when he woke up, his ears were extra quiet.
After washing up, he sat at the desk and began recounting what he had done and what had happened.
“After all the calculations, I seem to have suffered a huge loss. I lost more than 20 million,” Wang Ye felt that he had suffered such a huge loss that he was almost numb.

Due to buying all sorts of attributed secret treasures for the white python, he didn’t have much money left.
Having fought in the dark fog for a long time, he also consumed a lot of supplies.
What did he get?
Wang Ye took out Xiao Jiu’s egg.
Dong, dong!
Something inside of the egg seemed to be jumping, and the egg jumped twice.
“Good lord, you can still hear what I’m saying?” Wang Ye touched the egg.
Red and white lines intersected on the surface of the egg, like a burning flame.
Dong, dong!
The egg jumped twice again.
Wang Ye felt it for a while.
[The brilliant light sparrow’s egg: Weak vitality, in incubation.]
Then, the line of information disappeared.
It would take some time for it to be reborn.
However, it seemed that Xiao Jiu’s consciousness was still intact although it was in the incubation state.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have understood his words.
“I wonder if Xiao Jiu can simulate in this state?”
Wang Ye tried it.
[The pet’s life force is weak, temporarily unable to simulate.]
As expected, it couldn’t.
“It seems that I can only nurture the white python for the next few days,” Wang Ye muttered and took out the white python.
“Huji!” The white python probably didn’t like being inside the spatial sphere anymore because there wasn’t much food left inside.
So after Wang Ye took it out, it immediately became spirited.
“Let’s sign the contract first.”
The interesting thing was that Dongli Country’s pet contract was very special.
The pet contract was originally the power of rules that the divine beast totems gave to humans and pets to form contracts in a dual-selection process.
Normally, if a country didn’t have a divine beast totem and wasn’t protected, humans and pets couldn’t sign contracts.
This was the case with Dongli Country.
Hundreds of years ago, seeing the emergence of powerful divine beast totems and countless people who awakened powerful talents in other countries, as well as how those people nurtured their pets and started fighting against the dark fog, Dongli Country could only look on anxiously.
Later, as the country was gradually eroded by the dark fog and was about to wither, a large number of exceptional geniuses began to emerge.
It didn’t matter if they didn’t have the divine beast totem.
If they didn’t have contracts, they would create their own contract!
Thus, countless seniors devoted themselves to research for over a hundred years. Finally, one day, the pet contract that belonged to Dongli Country was finally developed.
At this point, Dongli Country could finally be considered to have a meager amount of strength.
Unfortunately, resisting the dark fog wasn’t just up to pets and humans. They also needed to borrow the power of the divine beast totem.
Although Dongli Country had been resisting tenaciously all these years, they could not help but fall into a situation where their land was shrinking and their resources were gradually drying up.
It was unknown how much effort they had put in to maintain the barely stable social order now.
Wang Ye recalled this period of history and felt a little emotional. Then, he began to sign a contract with the white python.
Dongli Country’s pet contract was different from the contracts of other countries.
The contracts of other countries did not require a high degree of intimacy between humans and pets. As long as the two parties chanted the spell before the divine beast totem, they could sign a contract.
It was simple and fast.
As for the pet contract of Dongli Country, it required a certain degree of intimacy between humans and pets, and their bodies and minds had to be one.
It was very troublesome.
Wang Ye pressed the white python with his hand and began to sign the contract according to the procedure.
The first thing he did was recite an incantation, “Spirit as the contract, soul as the promise. Life and death together, heart as one, never to deviate! Seal!”
In the next moment, a mysterious and illusory spatial pattern appeared under the feet of Wang Ye and the white python.
A huge amount of energy surged from all directions.
Wang Ye closed his eyes and immersed himself in the sensation… When signing a contract, one needed to feel the changes in the pet.
At the same time, a soul phantom appeared on the body of the white python.
However, at this moment, Wang Ye was closing his eyes to sense the white python’s changes, so he did not see this phantom.
The phantom was Long Ying. It circled Wang Ye once and gently stretched out a finger, pointing at the center of his brows. Then, it turned into a light particle and fused into the body of the white python.
Wang Ye’s body trembled. He only felt a unique spiritual power surging over him, then he could immediately sense the information of the white python.
The contract was successful.
Opening his eyes, Wang Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking at the time, a few hours had passed without him noticing.
It didn’t seem to be very troublesome.
“Hmm… It’s finally done.”
Wang Ye sensed the white python’s information.
There was no change in its class, and its combat strength was only at seven-star level one.
“I went through so much trouble…” Wang Ye poked the white python’s head with his index finger, “Just to contract with you, a white python… I wonder what your relationship is with Long Ying.”
The white python rubbed its head against Wang Ye’s finger, making a cooing sound of intimacy.
It didn’t seem to understand what Wang Ye was saying.
“Forget it, let’s simulate and increase your strength first.”
Wang Ye searched in the spatial sphere and found some leftover supplements.
They probably wouldn’t last long.
After taking the pills, he started the simulation.
[The pet information has been updated. The script is loading…]
[0 year old. The white python started to use Shadowless Line to build fortifications in the cave.]
[3 years old. The white python starts to train itself.]
[9 years old. The white python, which training had been effective, found that food was scarce in the cave. It was too dangerous outside, so it was reluctant to go out and look for food. With that, it began to look for food in the cave.]
[14 years old. Food was scarce in the cave, and the White Python did not find much. But it did find many special metal ores, as well as unknown mushrooms and wild herbs. Due to its fear of being poisoned, the white python did not dare to eat as it pleased.]
[16 years old. The white python was so hungry that it had no choice but to start eating the rare materials.]
[17 years old. The white python vomited and had diarrhea. It got by the whole year feeling very uncomfortable.]
[23 years old. All the food in the cave was finished. Occasionally, a few wild beasts would break into the cave and be eaten by the white python, but it was hungry half the time.]
[25 years old. There was really nothing left to eat. Under extreme hunger, the white python began eating rocks…]
[30 years old. The white python started eating ores.]
[40 years old. The white python started eating metals.]
[50 years old. The white python ended up malnourished due to eating too much garbage by mistake. It died.]
[Obtained white characteristic achievement: Gluttonous Snake]
[The simulation has ended. The white python has survived for 50 years. You may retain one of the following three options.]
[Skill: Shadowless Line, 50 years of proficiency]
[Genetic Characteristic: Gluttonous Snake]
[50-year-old six-dimensional growth]
“…” Wang Ye.
It was indeed not a good thing to be too cautious!
The wild beasts outside the cave probably sensed the danger in the cave. Unlike the previous simulations, very few prey went in to send themselves to their deaths as food.
[Gluttonous Snake (white – upgradeable): Due to your hunger, you ate a lot of garbage. A unique talent has awakened in your body, allowing you to easily absorb some food that you can not digest.]
“Hm, this characteristic seems pretty good. It’s upgradeable?” Wang Ye was slightly stunned when he took a look at it.
The white python was indeed a gluttonous snake!
Wang Ye seemed to have discovered a new world.
The white python’s performance in the script simulation was far better than Xiao Jiu’s such that it could live for a long time every time.
But it seemed that because it was too cautious, although it lived for a long time, the opportunities it obtained were not as good as Xiao Jiu’s.
However, there were also benefits to being lazy.
After waking up, Wang Ye took some medicine.
The white python was weak and its class was low. Compared to running the simulation for Xiao Jiu, Wang Ye’s spiritual power consumption when doing the same for the white python was very low.
After Xiao Jiu had evolved, not only did its simulation take a long time, but Wang Ye would need to rest for half a day after simulating.
It was already good enough to be able to run the simulation once a day.
In contrast, the simulations for the white python could be run more than once.
“There’s nothing to choose from, so I should just choose this characteristic.”
At noon, Wang Ye ate his meal and fed the white python, then continued to simulate.
“This time, don’t do anything, just eat!” Wang Ye had the feeling that the characteristic Gluttonous Python had a lot of potential, so he carefully reminded the white python.
The white python nodded.
It liked to eat.
[The pet information has been updated. The script is loading…]
[0 year old. The white python skillfully started to build its cave while searching for all kinds of food.]
[9 years old. The inside of the cave was a defense system of its own. There are all kinds of hidden traps and countless defenses. The white python started to eat all kinds of food. Bats in the cave, eat! Spiders, eat! Poisonous insects, eat! Mushroom and weeds, eat! Wild beasts that accidentally entered the cave, eat!]
[12 years old. The white Python has become the Overlord of the cave. Any food that it sees can not escape its mouth.]
[15 years old. Food is gradually running out in the cave. The white python feels very hungry.]
[19 years old. The white python starts to eat all kinds of ores. Due to its unique talent, it seems to be able to absorb the energy within these ores.]
[22 years old. The white python felt that its body was becoming extremely tough. The Shadowless Lines that it spat out contained a lethal poison.]
[26 years old. The ores in the cave were gradually finished by the white python. It felt that it had become much stronger. Driven by its hunger instinct, it decided to go deep into the cave for a look.]
[27 years old. The white python went deep into the cave and found many shiny golden stones along the way. It did not hold back and swallowed them all. It felt a little uncomfortable, but half a year later, it felt that its body had become tougher once more.]
[28 years old. The cave seemed to have a world of its own that it didn’t know. This shocked the white python.]
[30 years old. The white python studied the cave while going deep into it. It advanced step by step. Every time it went deep into a certain distance, it would immediately start to build fortifications and set up many traps nearby.]
[34 years old. The white python encountered a huge red-eyed bat at a certain location in the cave. It was exuding an extremely powerful aura. The white python first used the fortifications and traps set up in the cave to carefully observe the latter’s attack style. Then, it used the Shadowless Line to drag the bat to its death step by step. It successfully killed the bat and ate it!]
[35 years old. The white python summed up the experience of killing giant bats. Suddenly, it felt its eyes burning. It comprehended a special skill: Dynamic Vision.]
[39 years old. The white python felt that it could digest more unusual food.]
[45 years old. The white python found a glowing silver fruit in the depths of the cave. After eating it, it exploded and died.]
[Obtained purple characteristic achievement: Gluttonous Snake (upgradeable)]
[The simulation has ended. The white python has survived for 45 years. This is the first time it has killed a blood bat. You may retain three of the following five options.]
[Skill: Dynamic Vision]
[Skill: Shadowless Line, 45 years of proficiency]
[Genetic Characteristic: Gluttonous Snake (purple – upgradeable)]
[45-year-old six-dimensional growth]
[Reality simulation, once]
