Lord Game: Awakening The Legendary Multiplier From The Start - Chapter 40
Liao Fan stared at the white beast egg that was by the fireplace.
In a way, he felt guilty because he had kept the egg in his inventory for so long.
Hopefully, the warmth provided by the fireplace was enough.
Shortly after, the egg shook gently.
Then, it began to shake even more.
Liao Fan felt really nervous.
He did not know what would hatch from the egg.
[ Ding! White Beast Egg is about to hatch. Would you take it as a pet? ]
[ Once you take it as a pet, it will be bound to you. Unless the pet dies, your bond with it will not be undone! ]
‘Bound?’
Liao Fan hesitated.
He did not know if there would be any consequences.
‘What if the life of the pet was linked to mine?
‘I don’t want to deal with it if it’s only going to be a burden.’
Liao Fan had to think of all the possible consequences.
[ Ding! In order to be bound, the host must drip his blood onto the eggshell before the pet hatches. ]
[ If the pet hatched before the contract was formed, it would become a wild beast! ]
The notification had piqued Liao Fan’s interest.
This sounded like a nurturing mechanic.
A pet might be useful.
It could help during explorations or even save him when he encountered any danger.
Of course, there might be other consequences.
There were always several other possibilities.
‘As long as I take good care of the pet, there should be no problem.
‘I won’t let it die an unnatural death.’
Liao Fan could barely wait.
The eggshell was about to break.
Liao Fan quickly picked up the iron axe and aimed it at his arm.
Now that he had a large amount of food and water, it would make sense for him to raise a pet.
Two villagers were already under his care.
Adding a pet would be nothing.
Moreover, thanks to the level two territory, he owned a garden and fish pond.
More food will be generated in the upcoming future.
Most of his worries were dispelled.
Liao Fan drew some blood from his arm and trickled them onto the eggshell.
In an instant, the white egg turned red.
It was like the color of a phoenix.
Such a gorgeous sight put a smile onto Liao Fan’s face.
The egg began emitting rays of red light.
Then, it shook violently.
Liao Fan stretched out his hand and placed the egg on his palm.
He examined the egg carefully.
The little beast was about to break out of its shell.
After shaking for ten more seconds, the egg finally hatched.
The scattered eggshells turned into powder and disappeared into thin air.
‘What is it?!’
Liao Fan had yet to get a clear look at the beast.
The little beast had already escaped from his palm.
‘Is it a phoenix? A dragon? Maybe a wolf? It could also be a dog.
‘Perhaps it’s a boar?’
Liao Fan’s guesses did not seem to be right.
The beast was very small, but had ridiculous speed!
‘Don’t tell me… it’s a mouse?!
‘Is it really a mouse?’
“Hey little guy, why don’t you come out and meet me?”
Liao Fan began searching the house high and low.
The little beast ran away right after it hatched.
‘Did something go wrong?
‘Am I not its master?
‘Where is it hiding?’
Although Liao Fan did not get a clear look, he was sure that the beast was very small in size.
It was very likely to be a mouse.
The thought disappointed Liao Fan.
‘What was I expecting?’
Suddenly, the notification sound could be heard.
[ Ding! Congratulations to Lord Liao Fan for obtaining a treasure-seeking mole as a pet! ]
[ Treasure-Seeking Mole (White): It has a sharp sense of smell and would seek out any hidden treasure. There is a possibility that it will lead you to a pile of feces because that’s what it eats! ]
“…”
If he was not mistaken, moles eat earthworms, snails, and other small animals.
They might also feed on rotten meat.
‘Why does the mole in this world eat feces?!’
‘Was it exaggerated?’
Nonetheless, Liao Fan did not really care about this.
The important point was that his pet was a treasure-seeking mole!
Liao Fan felt like he was like a traveler in a desert who had just found a clear spring.
His eyes lit up!
He was going to explore the Ruins tomorrow, and the treasure-seeking mole would definitely be of help.
It could even be said that he had hit the jackpot.
This little fellow would make him a fortune!
However, he had to find it first.
“My little darling, why don’t you come to me?”
Liao Fan continued his search.
It seemed like the mole was deaf.
Liao Fan had no other choice.
He took out a little bit of bread from his inventory.
As he did that, the little mole came out from under the bed.
The mole did not make a sound because it had no vocal cords.
It was also sensitive to light.
That was why it immediately went to hide in a dark spot.
All of these factors caused the mole to develop an impeccable sense of smell.
Liao Fan picked up the treasure-seeking mole.
The little guy did not move much.
It was somewhat afraid of him.
Liao Fan tried to feed it some bread.
The little mole carefully touched the bread and began to nibble on it.
Upon seeing this scene, Liao Fan immediately fell in love with the little mole.
