At 5:00 a.m. in the morning, Xu Zhi looked at the game console and sincerely asked, "Can you come up with a timer function?"

"What I mean is, can I set a specific time for them to do something?"

Her words fell and the narrator responded.

【Please strive to upgrade your spirit pet.】

"Oh."

Xu Zhi understood.

The narrator is responding to her indirectly, suggesting that perhaps as the spirit pet's level increases, she will no longer need to constantly issue commands through the game, and instead, they will be able to arrange their own time schedules?

That's actually quite good. As the number of spirit pets increases and her health improves, she won't be able to stay at home playing the game console all the time.

Having too many spirit pets to switch between can be quite troublesome. It would be best if they could arrange their own time, and she could still observe their status through the game console at any time, without having to arrange everything for them. That's really great.

"Work hard to upgrade quickly!"

Xu Zhi was already looking forward to the moment when he could be a hands-off boss.

While the two spirit pets were searching for black fruits outside, Xu Zhi observed through their perspectives. Later, she noticed that the traces of animals seemed to have diminished, and still no alien monsters were in sight. However, thanks to the broadened field of vision after the spirit pets' upgrade, she spotted human traces through the pixelated screen.

The other party's trajectory of action is not like those crazy people, on the contrary, it is like a normal person who carefully walks through the fog, he did not see the dependents when he was groping his way forward, and when he hears some movement, he immediately stops and finds a cover to hide, if it is those crazy people will not be so careful.

Xu Zhi ignored him and simply let the spirit pet leave as they passed by. After all, the person's general direction of travel was not towards the old residential area, and the current priority was to find the black fruits.

With perseverance and hard work, thanks to the efforts of the two spirit pets, Xu Zhi really found a black fruit.

Naturally, this fruit was given to Xiao Yi. Her current goal was to upgrade Xiao Yi to level 20 as quickly as possible. With this fruit, Xiao Yi would definitely be able to level up.An hour later,

An hour later, Xiao Yi awoke from the state of absorbing the fruit.

【Even though your spirit pet has grown much stronger since the last time it ate this fruit, it is still not strong enough to absorb the full power of the fruit. Perhaps next time, it can absorb the energy more completely.】

【Clan Member: Snake Lv. 14 → Python Lv. 15

【Evolution Points: 3000/4000】

【Congratulations, your spirit pet has reached level 15 and its biological level has been upgraded.】

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

【Congratulations, your spirit pet has gained the special extraordinary ability of 'Transformation'!】

【Transformation: Are your eyes seeing the truth, are your ears hearing reality? Does your perception serve you faithfully or deceive you? It's not an illusion, it's a change.】

【Low-level Transformation can only alter the size of the creature's body, with the maximum size not exceeding twice the original. Increasing the level of the spirit pet can upgrade the Transformation ability, unlocking more capabilities.】

【Due to some special reason, you will be able to extract a trait from your spirit pet.】

【Please choose: Extract.】

"As expected, the special reason is the black fruit."

The black fruit allows her to extract abilities from her clan members.

Xu Zhi watched the screen as Xiao Yi underwent a molt, its body exploding in size, now approaching ten meters in length. Its body became extremely robust, with black scales glinting faintly. Its golden pupils contracted, revealing a cold and menacing gaze that was suffocating just to behold.

"All other attributes have improved, and there's an additional Level 5 Strength trait."

The change from level 14 to 15 is a quantum leap.

But ...... the most important thing is still that special ability, both, the transcendental ability that can be used actively.

"Transformation, that's a simple and clear name."

While it currently seems to only offer the ability to change body size, one can easily imagine how useful this power could be.

Moreover, it can be upgraded as the spirit pet levels up.

This reminded Xu Zhi of his 'Eye of Secrets', which also allows him to see more as his supernatural level increases.

Does this mean that all active supernatural abilities evolve in a similar manner?

They grow stronger along with their host, and when the host is weak, they cannot unleash their full power.

And what if it's a transcendent ability that has a low initial level itself?

If the host's level improves, would the supernatural ability also receive some enhancement, or would it remain a weak ability?

Many questions surged through Xu Zhi's mind. As she learned more about the supernatural, more doubts and mysteries emerged, as if it were a bottomless pit of exploration.

"It's no use thinking about these things now."

She shook her head, putting these questions aside for the moment. She called Xiao Yi and the dog back and then decided to go upstairs to have a chat with Shen Jinwen.

Due to its immense size, Xiao Yi had to reduce its body size to enter the apartment building. After Xiao Yi returned, Xu Zhi looked at it and asked, "How small can you shrink to?"

The narrator only mentioned that the maximum size cannot exceed twice the original size, but did not specify the extent to which it can shrink.

Under her gaze, Xiao Yi obediently used its ability to shrink its body until it became a small snake that was roughly less than half a centimeter wide and no more than half a meter long.

Due to the improved biological level, Xiao Yi's scales had become even more exquisite. When Xiao Yi remained motionless, it almost appeared not as a snake but as a beautifully crafted decorative item.

"This small?" Xu Zhi was somewhat surprised. With such a tiny size, it would be easy for Xiao Yi to hide itself.

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and tapped on her slender wrist with her right hand. "Come up here."

In response, Xiao Yi obediently climbed up Xu Zhi's hand, which had fallen next to it, and wrapped its body around Xu Zhi's wrist. It remained motionless after that. At first glance, it was hard to discern that it was an actual living snake, appearing more like a delicate jade bracelet.

Let's just say, it's very convenient for sneak attacks.

Xu Zhi nodded satisfiedly, while the dog nearby used its paws to scratch the ground, emitting a sad whining sound.

Xu Zhi assumed that the dog was wondering why Xiao Yi could get close to Xu Zhi while it couldn't.

"Don't you have any sense at all?"

Xu Zhi looked at it seriously and asked, then saw the dog tilt its head in confusion.

Alright, it seemed that the dog really didn't understand.

"Don't jump on me without my permission, and don't lick my face! Got it?"

Xu Zhi reiterated her instructions seriously, but the dog only tilted its head innocently to the other side.

The words "didn't understand" were practically written on its face.

Xu Zhi's forehead veins throbbed, but she held back her anger. "I know you understand, don't pretend!"

"Now, follow me outside and be obedient, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the dog that was pretending not to understand human language immediately jumped up, wagging its tail and spinning in place. It stared at Xu Zhi with expectant eyes, as if urging her to hurry up and go out.

"Heh," Xu Zhi sneered, knowing that this silly dog didn't have much intelligence!
