Zombie Apocalypse: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

"System, what do we do now? It's given in!"

[No service]

Huh? You didn't submit?

Shenhe looked down and carefully examined the Bloodthirsty Rose in his hand, when he suddenly noticed something unusual.

Its roots are extremely fine and dense, milky white, and now they are dancing in his palm, swaying back and forth like the tentacles of an octopus.

One of the thinnest hairs, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, quietly pierced his wrist.

Like a mosquito bite, so subtle as to be almost imperceptible, it was secretly sucking his blood.

As it slowly absorbs the nutrients, the color of its translucent fruit becomes purer and its luster brighter.

Shenhe glanced at the map and sure enough, its icon was still red, but the color had faded considerably, turning into Barbie pink. Although the hostility had lessened, it had not submitted!

Even at this point, they're still not behaving themselves! They're even secretly drinking his blood.

"Click! Click!"

Shenhe was furious that he had been lied to. He tightened his grip on the rose branch, his knuckles turning white from the force, until it made a cracking sound as he squeezed it under the weight.

The Bloodthirsty Rose seemed to have suffered a severe blow; the roots that had pierced his wrist instantly retracted, and the slender branches swayed frantically from side to side, as if waving their hands in pleading for mercy.

Shenhe didn't loosen his grip; instead, he tightened it even more, his eyes fixed on the system map until the Barbie pink dot representing it kept flashing rapidly and finally turned into a gentle green. Only then did he slowly relax.

Congratulations, host, on your first time binding a pet!

[Reward the host with one pet blind box]

[Host's overall physical condition +5]

With a boost to all five comprehensive qualities at once, that familiar and exhilarating feeling of comfort swept over my entire body once again.

--------

Host: Shenhe

Age: 24

Height: 179

Level: Lv.6 (Experience 187/2000)

Overall quality: 71→76

Skill points: 3

--------

Shenhe comfortably squinted his eyes, fully enjoying the moment when his power surged. When he opened his eyes again, he felt that his senses were even clearer.

The trails of falling leaves in the air were clearly visible, and every part of my body was brimming with inexhaustible strength.

The feeling of gradually becoming stronger and constantly breaking through the limits is truly addictive.

He opened his backpack and took out the pet blind box.

You can open the blind box directly from your backpack.

Upon opening, two more items were found at the bottom of the package.

[Rose Transformation Card x1]

Shenhe raised his eyebrows as he looked at the two items. Anyone who has played online games knows that a transformation card can transform plants or animals into human form, and it's a good thing.

After all, the human form makes everything convenient.

This Transformation Card grants the pet Rose the ability to transform, allowing her to transform into a human at any time and switch back to her original form, almost like she has become a spirit.

[Rose-Exclusive Food x Unlimited]

Description: Rainbow lollipop shape, made from rare spirit soil. Plant pets can eat it to feel full, improve their mood, increase their affection, and slowly increase their growth rate.

The system is so thoughtful!

Shenhe isn't worried about the roses lacking nutrients; the environment inside the Soul Nourishing Hall is excellent. They can just plant the roses anywhere, though it's not as convenient as walking around outside. But now, with this food, that problem is solved! And it's an unlimited supply!

Shenhe took out the Transformation Card and used it directly. The card transformed into a dreamlike pink stream of light and merged directly into the main stem of the Bloodthirsty Rose.

In an instant, the entire vine was enveloped in a pink halo, flickering and pulsating.

A few seconds later, the branch began to wiggle gently, as if it couldn't wait to break free from his grasp.

Shenhe's eyes lit up, his face full of anticipation, and he bent down to gently place the vine on the ground.

"It's about to transform! I wonder if it will be a stunning beauty or a handsome man, preferably a beauty! In ancient times, there was Xu Xian playing with a snake and Ning Caichen falling in love with a ghost. Today, I, Shenhe, am raising a flower, which doesn't seem like a bad idea, hahaha!"

The pink light on the rose vines on the ground suddenly flashed, and the next second the rose vines disappeared, followed by a human-shaped pink light standing in the air.

But Shenhe's expression suddenly changed drastically!

"Holy crap! How can it be so small? It's less than a meter tall!"

"At least get someone taller!"

Soon, the pink light slowly disappeared.

Shenhe finally saw her face clearly.

She has the kind of youthful and adorable appearance that can melt your heart at first glance.

Like a little doll that stepped out of a New Year's painting.

On her fair, round oval face, her chubby cheeks still retained traces of baby fat.

Her bob haircut with bangs was a delicate pink, like a blooming rose. The neat, straight bangs stopped just above her eyebrows, making her small face look round and her skin even whiter and brighter.

Beneath her light eyebrows, a pair of large, bright, round almond-shaped eyes, with distinct double eyelids, made up most of her pupils, giving them a naturally innocent and dazed look.

With her small, pert nose and full, pink lips, she looks incredibly cute.

She was wearing a sweater and pants in the same color scheme as her hair, with a touch of light green.

Just like flowers and green leaves go well together.

The funniest thing is that the only yellow fruit on her body was held in her left hand, which was really strange! How could she do that!

At this moment, she looked around blankly, turning her little head back and forth, then looking down at her small body, stretching out her little hands, kicking her little feet, and finally raising her little face to look timidly at Shenhe River.

Her big, wet eyes made her look like a soft, cuddly little dumpling.

"This... isn't... impossible..."

Shenhe was no exception. Seeing the little girl's soft and cute appearance, his heart melted instantly. All those messy thoughts he had before, like ghosts and snakes, were thrown to the winds on the spot.

That's right. The Bloodthirsty Rose is still in its infancy, so it's perfectly normal for it to transform into a humanoid cub.

--------

Pet: Bloodthirsty Rose (juvenile stage)

Height: 95CM

Favorability: 100

Abilities: Wood-type abilities, transformation, healing.

--------

I started with full favorability, but there were no rewards. However, the little guy's special ability even included healing!

The more he looked at the roses, the more he liked them, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, "They're so cute."

Shenhe bent down, a gentle smile unconsciously spreading across his face, and asked in a soft voice,

"Baby, can you talk? Can you call me 'Daddy'?"

Shenhe likes pretty daughters, so raising this little girl as a daughter wouldn't be bad. Anyway, she's already been bound to him as a pet, so she won't betray him.

Rose shrank back timidly, her little hands tightly clutching her chest. Her round almond-shaped eyes were already veiled with tears, and her little mouth pursed as if she was about to cry.

She remembered it all; this monster had just beaten her to a pulp, leaving her in excruciating pain.

But now, deep down, I inexplicably want to get closer to him, like an innate attachment to the land, water, and blood—an uncontrollable urge.

"Poop... Poop?"
