In the matrix world, in a dark cave room, Li Zheng was sitting on the floor, always holding a lantern in one hand, and occasionally taking out a rosaria flower and putting it into his mouth to chew.
On the ground in front of him, a small dire bat that looked like a super-miniature version of Doragon was holding a lumpy thing the size of a pigeon egg, gnawing hard on it.
"The gene core is indeed a prop used to cultivate pets, but although the little thing is still in its infancy, its teeth are quite powerful."
Li Zheng had taken out the first-level gene core and looked at it before. Its hardness was no less than that of ordinary metal.
As a result, when it reached the little guy's mouth, when he squeaked, there was a small gap.
Although it took more effort to eat, he could feel the happy mood of the little dire bat.
Based on these teeth, Li Zheng also felt that the little guy was more inclined to the young dragon than the so-called dire bat.
"I'm not as lucky as anyone. It doesn't matter if I picked up a pet. I actually picked up a mini version of Doragon among a group of ugly-looking Terrorbats. As expected, it's me!"
After eating a lotus flower, Li Zheng was in a good mood. He took out the water bottle again, unscrewed the cap with one hand, and raised his head.
"Tons, tons, tons... ha..."
After taking three sips of water, Li Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey!"
The little dire bat makes a sound.
Li Zheng looked down and found the little thing staring at the water bottle in his hand.
"Would you like some too?"
"Hey."
The little terror bat nodded and threw away the half-eaten gene core.
"Okay, I'll pour you some."
Li Zheng placed the bottle cap in front of the little terror bat and poured some water into it.
With the size of the little Terrorbat, the bottle cap is just big enough for it to use.
The little terror bat buried his head in the bottle cap: "Gulu, Gulu, Gulu..."
He raised his head as if he was intoxicated: "Ha...burp..."
Li Zheng was stunned. Is this little guy imitating himself?
But you didn’t hiccup?
The little terror bat seemed to realize that something was wrong. It covered its mouth with its two short limbs and looked around in panic.
Finally, when he saw the gene core thrown aside by it, he suddenly pointed at the gene core angrily and shouted to Li Zheng: "Oh!"
That look seemed to be accusing Li Zheng.
"You mean, the burp just now was actually caused by it?"
“嘤!!”
The little Dreadbat nodded righteously.
Li Zheng pretended to be surprised and said: "But it didn't drink water just now."
"Ugh?"
The little terror bat was stunned for a moment, then reacted, picked up half of the gene core and threw it into the bottle cap.
Then he pointed at it and shouted: "嘤嘤!"
Li Zhengcun wanted to tease it, and said with a mischievous smile: "It did drink water now, but it didn't hiccup."
When the little terror bat heard this, he looked at half of the gene core in the bottle cap and was at a loss.
"嘤嘤!"
"Hahaha……"
Li Zheng found it funny, stretched out a finger to touch the little guy's head and said, "Okay, okay, now that you are a lady, isn't it okay?"
"Hey..."
The little Dreadbat closed his eyes in enjoyment, and suddenly remembered that he was still angry, and snorted again, indicating that he was still angry.
"Yes, yes, ladies never hiccup. The hiccup just now was caused by the gene core."
Li Zheng had no choice but to coax the little guy. Unexpectedly, the little guy seemed to hear the "implication" and gnawed at the gene core even more ferociously.
Click, click, keep ringing.
"This little guy..."
Li Zheng was speechless, why did he feel like he still couldn't be coaxed?
Opening the pet panel of the Little Terror Bat and looking at the three question marks behind its character, Li Zheng felt that he could characterize it now.
The character must be coquettish!
"correct."
Li Zheng noticed that the little dire bat had not yet been named.
The little guy is much cuter than the ordinary dire bat. I always feel a little uncomfortable if I don't have a suitable name.
You can't just keep calling it the Little Terrorbat, right?
He obviously looks more like Doragon!
When the little guy heard the sound, he stopped nibbling and pricked up his ears, wanting to hear how Li Zheng coaxed him.
If you can't coax it well.
snort!
The little Dreadbat was wondering if he should do something on Li Zheng's hand for a while.
Is it reasonable for a child to wet the bed while sleeping?
Li Zhengke didn't know what the little guy was thinking, so he said to himself: "You don't have a name yet, why don't I give you one now."
"嘤嘤?"
name?
What is it?
Is it tasty?
The little fear bat thought to himself that if the name were harder than the one he was eating now, it wouldn't be able to bite it anymore.
"Name, name is not something to eat, but a code name used to identify each person. From now on, whenever I call this name, you will know that I am calling you."
Li Zheng explained to the little Dreadbat.
"Hey..."
It turns out it’s not something to eat…
The little dire bat was a little disappointed.
"It's okay if you don't want to. I can't call you little guy or little thing from now on, right? It's so unpleasant for a lady to call you these two names."
"嘤?嘤!"
When the little Dreadbat heard this, he thought it made sense and immediately expressed his interest in hearing what Li Zheng was going to name it.
"Um……"
Li Zheng thought for a while and said: "You always scream, why not call me Xiaoying? Let's choose a homonym for Ying, which means cherry."
"Oh, by the way, cherries are a very delicious fruit. Although I have never seen cherry trees in bloom, I heard they are very beautiful."
"嘤嘤?"
cherry?
tasty?
Did you choose this name because you wanted to eat yourself?
The little fear bat shivered and wanted to refuse the name.
"Eat, eat, eat. Do you think everyone is like you and just want to eat?"
Li Zheng explained angrily: "In ancient times, poets also liked to use the word cherry to describe some beautiful scenery.
So I gave you this name because I hope that when you grow up, you will become the most beautiful one among all the dire bats."
"嘤嘤?!"
pretty?!
Little Terrorbat, no, Sakura immediately said, this name.
This Sakura wants it!
"Look at how beautiful you are. When I heard that you were being complimented on your beauty, I immediately accepted the name."
Li Zheng pressed Xiaoying's head and shook it back and forth, almost giving the little guy a somersault.
"Hey!"
Sakura screamed in dissatisfaction, avoided Li Zheng's fingers, picked up the remaining gene core, and turned around to hand it to Li Zheng.
"嘤嘤."
As a thank you for naming Sakura, I will give you the remaining delicious food.
"..."
Seemingly feeling that she had given too much, Xiao Ying took advantage of Li Zheng not accepting it yet and quickly nibbled off more than half of the gene core that was only as big as a grain of rice before handing it out again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Zheng: "..."
This guy's character is not only coquettish, but also stingy!
"Forget it, this thing was originally meant for you to eat, but I can't chew it."
Li Zheng waved his hand and refused.
"Hey!"
When Sakura heard that he didn't want it, she swallowed the last bit of the gene core into her mouth at lightning speed.
As the last gene core was eaten by it, Li Zheng finally waited for the system prompt:
[Pet ‘Sakura’ takes the first-level gene core and grows into an elite level.
The current level is: Black Iron Elite.】
[Pet ‘Sakura’ has advanced to the elite level and gained new abilities: fast flying. 】
As the system prompt came, Sakura seemed to feel the changes in herself, and suddenly unfolded the wings that had been shrinking behind her back.
This pair of wings is also different from the Terrorbat family.
The wings possessed by the Dreadbat are very similar to simple bat wings, and the pair behind Sakura, although still immature, are obviously more prominent in the bone lines, and the fleshy wings are also rougher.
"嘤?"
Looking at her wings, Sakura looked curious.
Why do I suddenly feel my wings have strength?
Poof, poof.
After trying to flap her wings, Sakura finally began her first flight as a bat.
After waking up from the hibernation chamber, its small wings were kept curled behind its back as if they were not fully developed.
So much so that it almost forgot that it could actually fly.
"嘤嘤嘤..."
Sakura hovered above Li Zheng, flying faster and faster, making a cheerful sound.
Li Zheng looked at Xiaoying who was having fun, with a fatherly smile on his face.
No matter who gets a mini version of Doragon, or one of these, it's hard not to smile like a father.
Unless he thinks that in this kind of world, everything can be summed up by the word "bat" in the official racial name.
The whole world has been dragged into a place like this. Is there anything wrong with keeping a little Doragon as a pet?
No problem at all!
At this moment, another system prompt popped up.
[Now at 19:00, the matrix enters night, and some genetic creatures will gain increased abilities in the dark state.
Some genetic creatures will be weakened in the dark night state.】
[The number of room explorations is refreshed at 00:00 midnight every day. Players who still have the number of explorations are asked to explore as soon as possible. 】
[After 00:00 midnight, the Matrix World will scan for survivors, and surviving players who are fifty years old will be removed from the Matrix Survival Game. Players who are about to meet the requirements, please be prepared.]
[Ding: Pregnant players have been detected in the Matrix Survival Game. The removal operation will be advanced. Players please be prepared.]
[Ding: The target players for removal this time are - people who turn fifty tomorrow, pregnant women, and people with disabilities who are under fifty and over sixteen (disabled people are not included in this list after entering the matrix). Among them, pregnant women give birth and people with disabilities receive treatment.
All relevant memories will be erased and they will return to the matrix survival game.]
[Preparation time: 05:00]
【04:59】
…
A series of system prompts popped up, and Li Zheng immediately opened the chat channel and found that both the regional channel and the world channel were all boiling at this time.
