After paying, Shao Zifeng held the little turtle, who had been tucking its head, in his hand, a flash of blue light in his eyes.

[Description]: A rare Chinese Grass Turtle that has awakened its racial hidden talents. If well-cultivated, it can offer you the thrill of being a shy turtle.

After reviewing the information of the Chinese Grass Turtle, Zifeng also visited the long-unopened “Mutant Creatures Omninet” to check, and found that the racial talent of Chinese Grass Turtle was called “Turtle Shell Defense,” which could apply armor layers to itself after being attacked, up to three layers maximum.

Shutting off his cell phone, Zifeng took advantage of the remaining time to roam through the Yundu City pet market but unfortunately did not encounter any more mutant creatures with potential. However, in the floral area, he saw a mutated begonia with a talent called “Mirage,” the same as Qiqi’s.

Clearly, it was vastly inferior in intelligence, only capable of repeating what others had said, and the stall owner was asking for a high price, so Zifeng watched the commotion for a while and then left.

Coming out of the pet market, holding the Chinese Grass Turtle, which was still tucking its head, made Zifeng feel a lot more relieved.

With this and the money he had saved, he could almost pay off the debts he owed.

If he could find someone in urgent need of a healing-type pet creature, he might even have some pocket money left over.

Yes, strictly speaking, with the turtle’s talent combined with the healing skills, it was a healing type of mutant creature in every sense of the word.

In the categorization of mutant creatures, apart from the few whose racial talents are strictly controlled healing abilities, most healing-type pets have awakened hidden talents. But hidden talents are rare as it is, and even rarer still are water and wood abilities that awaken healing talents.

This is why healing-type mutant creatures have always been priceless on the market; even a lower-quality double-attribute hidden talent turtle like this one wouldn’t be rated too low in assessments, potentially priced about fifty percent higher than a three-star quality creature.

Returning to the Yundu Hotel, Zifeng visited Teacher Tang with his gift, who had already started preparing nutritious meals.

Leaving Teacher Tang’s place and returning to his room, Li Yiming wasn’t around. Zifeng left him a note, telling him not to call him for dinner, and then washed up before heading back to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zifeng extended his hand and a tiny, illusory Space Rift slowly opened.

Splat.

A blob of soft flesh fell onto his leg, trembling and wobbly like jelly.

“Mirage Beibei.”

Zifeng saw Mirage Beibei lying on his leg, motionless, and carefully poked it with his finger.

This kid couldn’t have starved to death, could he?

Using his finger to lift the edge of the soft flesh, he flipped Mirage Beibei over.

Splat.

Mirage Beibei lay face up on Zifeng’s leg, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Hiss, it couldn’t actually be dead, could it?

In a flurry, Zifeng opened a bottle of Water-based Energy Potion Type I, squeezed Mirage Beibei’s squishy cheeks with his thumb and forefinger to force its small mouth open, and then carefully dripped some of the potion inside.

After a moment, Shao Zifeng released his fingers that were pinching Mirage Beibei, only to find that its mouth was still open, the drop of blue potion remaining unswallowed.

Shao Zifeng became a bit anxious, and he continuously dripped several more drops into Mirage Beibei’s mouth, which was now filled with the blue liquid, spilling over and flowing out from the corners of its mouth.

Shao Zifeng was dumbfounded, wondering if it really had died, just as he turned around to grab his cell phone to call the team doctor.

Gulp!

A faint swallowing sound came through.

Shao Zifeng stopped in his tracks and looked down to see that the potion in Mirage Beibei’s mouth had disappeared. Yet it still held its mouth open, staring blankly at the ceiling with glassy eyes.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng picked up the energy potion again and filled its mouth with drops, not blinking as he watched it.

As time ticked by, Mirage Beibei still showed no reaction, so Shao Zifeng thought for a moment, pretended to turn his head to look for something, and then quickly turned back.

Gulp…

Eye to eye, Mirage Beibei puffed its little mouth, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Then its little face turned a shade of red, and from inside its soft body, it stretched out tiny short arms, hurriedly scratching at its…the area below its mouth, which should be its neck.

Its little face turned red as it seemed to have choked.

Shao Zifeng was both annoyed and amused as he picked up Mirage Beibei by its tiny short legs, turning it upside down and pressing on it a few times with his fingers.

Burp.

A jet of blue water shot out from its mouth.

“Beibei… Beibei.”

Gasping for breath, Mirage Beibei used its little hands to soothe itself, and then feeling itself being lifted higher, it frantically waved its tiny arms, calling out nonstop “Beibei, Beibei.”

Shao Zifeng held it upside down in front of his face, looking at it with a half-smile, not saying a word.

At first, Mirage Beibei kept playing dumb, staring blankly into Shao Zifeng’s eyes, but after a while, it felt like it couldn’t keep up the act.

“Beibei!” Mirage Beibei looked at Shao Zifeng with a pitiful, innocent expression.

“I didn’t expect you were faking it,” remarked Shao Zifeng, marveling at the little creature. Who could have thought that this little guy wasn’t really dumb, truly a combination of two of the smartest traits.

Although this trick was only at the level of a child lying to an adult, it had successfully deceived both the cheating device and himself.

No, it had tricked the cheating device, he was just misled by it.

Otherwise, relying on his own intelligence, he surely wouldn’t have been fooled.

Heh.

Stupid cheating device.

He trusted it so much, yet in the end, his trust was misplaced.

“Beibei?”

“You’re still pretending, huh?” Shao Zifeng scratched its little belly with his finger.

It seemed particularly sensitive to that spot, and kept pushing Shao Zifeng’s hand away with its tiny short arms, laughing loudly in its throat, “Beibei… Beibei… Beibei, Beibei.”

After a short while, Mirage Beibei obediently nestled in Shao Zifeng’s palm, gulping down the energy potion he was feeding it.

After ingesting an energy potion, Mirage Beibei visibly swelled into a ball. It patted its little belly contentedly, “Beibei~”

“Will you pretend again next time?” Shao Zifeng gently scraped its soft skin with his finger, and Mirage Beibei let out peals of laughter like a barbell, begging for mercy.

After playing with it for a while longer, Mirage Beibei, still in its juvenile stage, started to get sleepy. Shao Zifeng thought for a moment and did not return it to the pet space. Instead, he placed it by his pillow, just as he had before it hatched.

By then, the light outside the window had slowly dimmed. Shao Zifeng covered himself with the blanket and gently placed his hand on Mirage Beibei. His gaze was tender as he watched its body rise and fall gently.

“Good night.”
