Chu Tian had just entered the game when he received a video call from Luo Luo.
He thought to himself: We just parted ways a few minutes ago, and Luo Luo already misses me? He felt delighted, realizing his charm was still quite potent.
Upon connecting the video, Luo Luo immediately said, "Look at the rankings, under the pet category."
"What's wrong?" Chu Tian asked, knowing that it was impossible for anyone to have pets at this time, as the pet system hadn't even been activated yet.
"Just look!" At Luo Luo's insistence, he opened the rankings and checked the pet category.
There was indeed a pet listed, and it was the only one, displayed there in solitude.
Pet Name: Milga Nei Er
Species: Dragon Race
Description: Possesses water and poison elemental magic, a dragon of immense power.
Owner: Yi Yi
When Chu Tian saw the pet's name, it felt a bit familiar. Upon seeing the description, he suddenly remembered – wasn't this the Winter Queen's pet?
Seeing the owner's name, Chu Tian paused for a moment, then excitedly said to Luo Luo, "How did you get her?"
He knew that in Tian Dao, there was a chance to tame wild creatures and make them your pets, but he had never heard of anyone taming a Boss.
After the Tian Dao pet system was activated, ninety-nine point nine nine percent of players obtained pet eggs and then went to a pet trainer, paying a hefty fee for incubation.
Luo Luo actually managed to get a super Boss to recognize her as its owner, and Chu Tian was ecstatic.
In the video, Chu Tian could already see a chubby, dark green little dragon cub on Luo Luo's shoulder.
"I don't know either. As soon as I logged in, the system prompted that I had obtained a pet," Luo Luo replied, equally surprised.
Chu Tian finally understood why this great Boss hadn't appeared in the basin yesterday; it had gone off to find a master.
He just didn't know what capabilities Luo Luo possessed to make such a monstrous creature voluntarily acknowledge her as its owner.
The jade stone brought back from the Underworld recognized Luo Luo as its owner and couldn't be removed.
The Winter Queen's pet also went and recognized her as its owner.
Were these related in any way? Chu Tian suddenly felt as if Luo Luo might be the chosen one.
As for himself, he was truly living up to the saying: I am nothing!
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He just told Luo Luo that she could start leveling it up now. Although it would slow down her leveling speed, once this pet grew, it would be a great asset to her, even capable of killing enemies of higher levels.
Luo Luo was also very happy upon hearing this, saying that it didn't matter if she leveled up slowly, as she wasn't too concerned about her level. Having a little companion to play with was quite nice.
Although she said that, Chu Tian didn't think so. He remembered he still had a legendary weapon, which he naturally intended to give to Luo Luo.
If Luo Luo couldn't level up quickly, how could that work? He still wanted to fight alongside Luo Luo, share the adventures of the world, and become a fairy couple in Tian Dao, making those single dogs envious.
The only way for Luo Luo to level up quickly was for him to get her a god-tier growth talent.
As for where to get it, Chu Tian already had an idea, but he couldn't go there now; it would be suicide.
However, getting a lower-level growth talent was still feasible.
Chu Tian was naturally very happy that Luo Luo had obtained this pet; even his sin points being maxed out didn't bother him much.
His sin points could be washed away sooner or later. Thinking about washing his sin points, Chu Tian warned Luo Luo to absolutely not let this pet die, as it would reduce its loyalty.
A pet's reduced loyalty was very troublesome. If it became too low, it could even attack its owner.
In his previous life, many people had died due to their pets suddenly betraying them.
Luo Luo, however, replied, "It's okay. Its loyalty isn't displayed as a numerical value, but as 'cannot be reduced'!"
This made Chu Tian's jaw drop. It was the first time he had ever heard of a pet's loyalty being displayed as "cannot be reduced."
After being reborn, it felt like many things were no longer within his understanding.
Since Luo Luo's side was no longer a concern for him, he bid farewell to her and went to wash his red name.
Although in Tian Dao, sin points automatically decreased while online, the current amount was maxed out! How long would it take to decrease?
Chu Tian couldn't even imagine, so it was safer to find a place to grind monsters.
Thinking about grinding monsters, he remembered a place where monsters dropped something called Mutant Core Crystals, which were for pets to eat and could increase their growth. Thus, he called Luo Luo's video again.
"Brother, is there anything else?" Since they had just hung up the video, Luo Luo naturally asked curiously.
"Luo Luo, don't level her up yet. Put her away first. You hurry up and reach level fifteen. I'm going to grind my red name, and by the way, see if I can get some Mutant Cores for her to eat. If I can get them, that would be amazing! Then, when her growth value is high, letting her level up will make her even more powerful!" Chu Tian said.
"Okay, but her growth value is displayed as (50) max! Can it still increase?" Luo Luo asked curiously.
"What? Fifty growth points? And it says max!?" Chu Tian was once again shocked by this pet.
"Mhm," Luo Luo replied affirmatively.
"Alright, forget I said anything! You go level her up then!" Chu Tian said with a helpless expression.
In his previous life, he had heard that the maximum pet growth value was fifty points, just like character levels and growth stars.
And with each pet level-up, all attributes would automatically increase according to its growth value.
For example, Luo Luo's pet, with a growth value of fifty, would gain fifty points in all attributes every time it leveled up.
Keep in mind that the most exceptional pet in his previous life, ranked first, only had a growth value of thirty-five points.
A fifty-point growth value would be unimaginable in the later stages.
This was because the higher the level, the more monstrous it became, gradually widening the gap with other pets.
Therefore, when many people obtained a pet, their first priority wasn't to quickly level it up.
Instead, they tried to find ways to increase its growth value. Moreover, each character could only obtain one pet in their lifetime.
Even if the pet betrayed them, they couldn't obtain a second one. They could only choose not to summon it and then find ways to increase its loyalty.
As for loyalty, there wasn't no way to increase it; one could find high-level pet training masters to help re-tame it, but the cost would probably be enough to get ten other pets.
Therefore, once you lost your pet, you would lose a significant advantage.
After ending the video call with Luo Luo, Chu Tian headed directly to the Gray Canyon alone.
That was the monster area for levels twenty to thirty, which was perfect for Chu Tian to grind and wash his red name.
Upon entering the canyon, the scenery was as its name suggested; Chu Tian's vision entered a dim world.
However, unlike the Plague Jungle they had visited before, the dimness here was caused by the interwoven, sky-high trees blocking all sunlight.
The entire canyon was lush and green, with various exotic flowers and plants everywhere.
