The 2nd simulation Mode.
"oh boy, it's gonna be a pain to recognize you, anyway let's move on to the next part before the simulator's cooldown is over, using the psychic link skill scroll. "
...
Max directly took out 10 scrolls and used them.
He didn't expect much, most probably only the talented psychic Mok might learn it from the first try.
As for others, Max didn't have much hope. After all, they're just newborns and unlike Mok, they didn't have the advantage of having high talent in the psychic element.
While practicing psychic skills, Max can confirm that the saying of achieving double the results with half the effort holds true for Mok.
As for the skill scroll, Max didn't mind spending for his pets, and although the scroll failed but it will slightly increase the success chance of learning the skill.
.....
Soon, just as he predicted, the light of the scrolls dimmed one after another, and Max didn't receive any prompt of learning the skill, so he just waited for psychic Mok to finish digesting the scroll.
[Ding, your pet psychic crow Mok, learned the skill (psychic Link).]
[Ding, your pet Shadow crow Delma, learned the skill (psychic Link).]
"wow, you also learned it, as expected of the firstborn."
Max nodded in approval, and after checking that all others failed, he took the crows to his room.
"There's almost 11 hours left for the cooldown, so let's take care of your education first."
Crow!. Crow!. Crow!. Crow!.
The little guys kept jumping around. Unlike Lucy's snail like growth speed, these guys grow at a mind-boggling speed.
Max could already hear jumbled mental messages at the back of his brain, somewhat resembling words.
"alright sit down. I've prepared something for you, and if you get hungry, drink the water on the side. "
Max won't let them eat or drink anything other than the water from Lucy's skill in till they received the full growth enhancement from it.
As he finished speaking, Max opened the laptop and played the long series he made for the crows.
Mafia outside of the city.
After he sat down with the crows around him, the first episode started playing.
Max wanted to teach the crows cooperation, but at the same time he didn't want them to become righteous pets or something similar, so he can only settle for a series with something akin to honor among thieves and brotherhood between villains.
Also, everyone among the Mafia has some telekinetic communication ability similar to psychic link.
The crows kept watching, attracted to the gunshots and the action.
After the episode ended, Max replayed it, since he could tell they didn't get much.
He replayed the same episode 3 times.
At this point, the crows were watching tentatively.
Max nodded in approval and set the first season to play on auto.
He could tell Lucy was also watching, but he didn't mind and closed his eyes to rest a little.
Max fell asleep.
....
After an unknown amount of time, Max opened his eyes groggily and stood up, stretching.
The laptop has already run out of power and entered the charging mode.
However, Max noticed something strange:
Shadow crow Delma stood in the middle of the group, waving its wings around, seemingly giving orders, while wearing tiny white sunglasses. Pretending to be a gang boss?.
CRAW! CRAW!.
The crows around kept nodding and crowing.
CRAW! CRAW! CRAW!.
"what the..?"
Max was speechless. Didn't this bunch grow up too fast?.
And where did Delma get those sunglasses?
Max opened the simulator and immediately found the abnormality.
Their growth speed has reached the A-rank, Emerald water already took full effect and went even further.
Maybe it's because the only thing they had since hatching was emerald water and nothing else, or maybe because their growth potential is too weak, so it had a greater effect.
Anyway, Max wouldn't complain since it's all beneficial. As for the sunglasses, it should be Lucy's Mist.
"alright you bunch, come here. It's time for your first power up."
The crows stood at attention immediately, like a bunch of trained soldiers.
Max just smiled and opened the simulator.
"Simulator switch to consecutive simulation mode. "
[Ding, consecutive Mode On, please choose the pet.]
consecutive mode is especially made for pets with short lifespan, and just like the name suggests, Max can keep simulating consecutively in till he hits the time limit.
However, the time limit is shortened by ten times from 1000 years to a 100.
At first Max was dissatisfied by the huge difference in time limit, however being keen as always, he instantly figured out the reason.
Using this mode, Max could abuse it to bring countless items from the parallel worlds, thus consuming much more energy.
Max can just pick a pet with a 1 year life span. With simple math, he can bring at least 100 items with one simulation.
Still, with one year life span, most probably the pet won't be able to obtain anything useful to Max.
"alright Delma, you will go first. Simulator start."
Shadow crow Delma nodded although not completely understanding Max's words, its ready for any order.
