The Poisonous Bee Boss was a Level 45 Gold Boss. For first-tier players, this Boss might be a tricky opponent, but for Lin Zheng, a second-tier player, it was simply a piece of cake! Its normal attacks couldn't even break Lin Zheng's defense!

So Lin Zheng stepped forward, sword in hand, too lazy to even use skills, and in a moment, he had severely wounded the Poisonous Bee!

Looking at the Boss with less than a tenth of its health remaining, Lin Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. This Boss was golden and shiny; it would definitely be cool to capture it as a pet!

He immediately excitedly took out a Contract Scroll and threw it towards the Boss's head. The Contract Scroll automatically unfurled, transforming into a six-pointed star magic circle that appeared beneath the Boss.

The Boss struggled uneasily, and then with a 'snap!', the magic circle shattered!

"Contract failed! This monster can still be used with Contract Scrolls 11 more times!"

Hearing the prompt, Lin Zheng wasn't discouraged. After all, this was a Boss; if it succeeded on the first try, it would have to be a huge burst of luck!

He continued to throw scrolls, and after continuous failures, the Boss was finally absorbed into the magic circle, becoming Lin Zheng's first pet!

He finally caught a pet, and it was a Boss!

Lin Zheng was so excited he practically shouted!

Then he eagerly opened the pet interface to take a look.

The reason pets are called pets is that they must look somewhat endearing!

Therefore, monsters in phantom spirit ii are beautified after being captured as pets, their appearance becoming more acceptable to players.

So, in the pet manual, the pet Lin Zheng saw was not the Boss image he had encountered.

When Lin Zheng saw the pet manual, his originally excited expression instantly turned into a face full of black lines—he would rather see a handsome, golden giant bee than a little loli wearing a bee costume appearing in his pet manual!

What kind of beautification is this?

A bee directly evolving into a little loli, what evolutionary rule is this based on?

Darwin would probably be angered to death if he saw this, oh! He's been dead for a long time!

Lin Zheng expressed that he was too exhausted to complain, ignoring the manual and directly looking at the pet's attributes, starting with the pet's growth values.

Poisonous Bee Queen: Level 0 (Physical Attack Type)

Attack Growth: 8.5

Defense Growth: 6

Health Growth: 200

Evasion/Accuracy Growth: 2

Mana Growth: 200

A pet's growth value is undoubtedly an important data point that affects the pet's attribute growth!

For Lin Zheng's pet, for example, all growth values are undoubtedly very good!

For instance, pets gain 5 attribute points every time they level up. If Lin Zheng were to put all these attribute points into Strength, then just from the attribute points gained from leveling up, the pet would already have a maximum physical attack of 2125 by Level 50!

Of course, whether a pet is powerful or not cannot be judged solely by its growth; initial attributes are equally important!

Initial attributes determine the pet's automatic attribute growth with each level up, automatically increasing at a ratio of one-tenth of the initial attribute when the pet levels up!

The higher the initial attributes, the more they increase!

Lin Zheng's pet is pretty good; all its initial attributes are above 25—

Strength: 30

Intelligence: 25

Stamina: 25

Agility: 28

Spirit: 25

Physical Attack: 90-225, Magic Attack: 75-187

Physical Defense: 180, Magic Defense: 150

Health: 5000, Mana: 5000

...

According to this attribute growth, by Level 50, this pet's physical attack will reach 3655, defense 2580, and health 30000. High attack! High defense! Thick health! It's much more powerful than Lin Zheng is currently!

This shows how important a good pet truly is to a player!

Although the pet's appearance gave Lin Zheng many reasons to complain, her attributes were truly impeccable, so Lin Zheng reluctantly accepted this pet.

Looking at the pet's name field, Lin Zheng pondered for a moment, then smiled mischievously and named her "Xia Mo!"

This was Xiao Mo's in-game name.

After naming her, Lin Zheng summoned Xia Mo, and with a flash of a six-pointed star in the air, Xia Mo, not even a meter tall, appeared before Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng couldn't connect the Xia Mo in front of him with a pet at all; this was clearly a little loli. Seeing her, Lin Zheng felt like he was looking at Xiao Miao!

Xia Mo wore a pair of black and yellow striped long socks, small black shoes, a yellow mini-skirt, paired with a black sleeveless top with a fluffy collar. The pair of bee wings on her back looked like decorations, and what should have been antennae on her head looked more like two silly strands of hair to Lin Zheng, and miraculously, they even moved!

Lin Zheng couldn't help but reach out and grab, then gently tug!

"It hurts!"

Huh!?

There was actually a sound, so Lin Zheng, surprised, tugged again!

"It hurts!"

He looked down to see Xia Mo staring at him with teary eyes, her expression so cute!

"Waaah~! Big bad master, you bully me the moment we meet!"

Lin Zheng immediately got a headache!

It's not like there aren't humanoid pets in other games, and bringing them along is fine, but giving him one with advanced intelligence, that's a bit of a pain in the ass!

Look at this Xiao Yatou, she started crying right away. What will happen when they fight monsters later?

Getting hit by monsters really hurts; won't she cry herself to death then!?

"No crying!" Lin Zheng glared with a stern face, and Xia Mo was indeed startled into silence, though her eyes were still teary, looking very pitiful!

Lin Zheng's expression immediately crumpled upon seeing her, and he quickly opened the crafting interface and made a Honey Pomelo Juice from honey. Uh, where did the pomelo juice come from?

Don't worry about it, this is a game!

If he says honey can make honey pomelo juice, then it can!

After making the Honey Pomelo Juice, Lin Zheng took it out. In gourmet mode, this drink was a large cup with a straw.

Lin Zheng directly handed it to Xia Mo, and her eyes immediately lit up. She stopped crying and fussing, happily holding the cup and drinking the beverage!

Seeing this, Lin Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief!

At this moment, Xia Mo flapped her wings and actually flew!

She landed directly on Lin Zheng's shoulder and sat down, even leisurely swinging her little feet.

Lin Zheng's head was immediately full of black lines. Seriously, who was whose pet!

Alright!

Lin Zheng wouldn't bother arguing with a Xiao Yatou!

He crushed the Return City Bead and returned to Tianshuang City, with Xia Mo still sitting steadily on his shoulder.

Lin Zheng suddenly got a mischievous idea and started running quickly!

As a result, Xia Mo shrieked, directly hugged his head, covered his eyes, and even spilled pomelo juice all over his head!

Lin Zheng, who had brought it upon himself, had no choice but to start walking, and he also had to compensate Xia Mo with another serving of pomelo juice to keep her quiet, feeling so frustrated he almost wanted to vomit blood!

The only thing that made Lin Zheng feel better was that on the way to the square, players were looking at him with envy, clearly recognizing Xia Mo as a humanoid pet, and Xia Mo's cute appearance was undoubtedly very likable.

Those with keen eyes had already figured out that Xia Mo was a beautified version of a poisonous bee, and many had already decided that after their second tier advancement, they would go catch poisonous bees as pets.

However, they didn't know that Xia Mo was a Boss. Would ordinary poisonous bees be beautified into little lolis?

Who knows!
