My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

A moment later, she withdrew her spiritual power, the pink light in her eyes slowly faded, and she shook her head at Xia Yu.

"Hey~"

Xia Yu returned to his room with his two pets and drew the curtains.

Without trying to hide it from Lady Snow Spirit and the Spirit Velvet Beast, he took out the important items from his system backpack.

An energy cube maker, and an elf incubator still hatching a small nebula egg.

As for the [All-Purpose Pokémon Item Crafting Table] that he just got last night, Xia Yu thought about it and decided to keep it in his backpack for now.

There isn't even a single drawing yet, what's the point of taking it out?

Is it a cat tree for the Lingrong pet?

It's not too late to study this after we've finished dealing with the qualification blocks.

The countdown on the Elf Incubator has only five days and six hours left.

Xia Yu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the little nebula egg inside the cabin was more lively than before.

He gently tapped the outer shell of the incubation chamber and chuckled softly, "Little one, you'll be coming into this world soon!"

The world of beast breeding has proven that pets can sense the existence of the outside world while they are still in their eggs.

Therefore, Xia Yu has never stopped "prenatal education" during this period.

The small nebula egg inside the cabin seemed to sense something, and the nebula patterns on its surface lit up slightly, as if it were greeting the outside world in its own way.

After setting up the incubator in the room, Xia Yu placed the energy block generator on the table.

The spirit tree fruits used to craft energy blocks were all destroyed in last night's battle.

But it doesn't matter.

Unlike the Mysterious Water Drop, this item is not irreplaceable and can be bought as long as you have money.

He opened the Tianyan Mall APP on his phone and skillfully selected a large number of spiritual fruits and materials needed to make various attribute energy blocks.

After placing the order, I casually opened the system panel and glanced at it.

[Host: Xia Yu]

[Farming House: Mew Mew Pokémon Farming House]

[Level: 3 (25768/100000)]

[Popularity: 26211]

[Approval Rating: 97]

[Breeding Coins: 200]

[2 Pokémon sold]

[Amount of Pokémon and items sold: 32756000]

[Teachable moves: Taunt, Trick Room, Rain Dance]

[Items included: Pokémon Pokédex (Advanced Edition), Magic Cube Maker (Deluxe Edition), Pokémon Egg Incubator, Pokémon Item Crafting Table, Exp. Share, Mystic Water, Super Restore...]

Why didn't the popularity increase much?

Xia Yu pondered for a moment.

He had thought that last night's battle would boost the reputation of "Miaomiao Pet House" along with the decline of [Zhenxing].

It seems that the "Popularity" stat in the system panel is only affected by items like TMs and Power Cubes.

Tsk.

That's really useless. He was a master-level beast tamer, and now that he's dead, he doesn't even contribute any popularity.

Xia Yu silently whipped the corpse of the deceased [Zhenxing] once more in his heart.

He turned off the panel and was about to start making today's qualification blocks when a question suddenly popped into his mind.

The Spirit Velvet Beast's favorability rating has already soared to 90, but what about its intimacy rating?

Although the system displays favorability and intimacy separately, he still doesn't understand how the two are converted.

Logically, the two should be directly proportional, right?

"Brother Tongzi, how do you convert pet intimacy and affection levels? I want to know the intimacy level of the Spirit Velvet Beast."

[Eevee's current affinity with its host is: 30]

So low?

Xia Yu frowned slightly. The favorability rating was 90, but the intimacy rating was only 30. If the intimacy rating was 220, the favorability rating would have to be 600 or 700.

If the maximum value is 100, then this already falls into the category of yandere, right?

Xia Yu sensed something was amiss and continued, "Check Lady Xue Ling's current intimacy level."

Gardevoir's current affinity with its host is: 180.

Something was definitely wrong.

Aunt Xue's favorability rating is only a few points higher than that of the Spirit Velvet Beast, but her intimacy rating is so much higher.

It seems that the two are not entirely equivalent.

So where is the difference?

The time spent together?

Or more physical contact?

Or is it the depth of trust?

Lady Snow Spirit was willing to entrust her life entirely to him in battle.

Although the spirit beast has developed a dependence on and trust in him, it is probably still some distance away from the point of "entrusting its life and death to the other party".

With a spirit of scientific exploration, Xia Yu decided to conduct an experiment.

He turned his gaze to the Spirit Velvet Beast, which was squatting next to the elf incubator, curiously looking through the glass cover at the tiny nebula egg inside.

"Xiao Ling, come here."

The Spirit Velvet Beast, engrossed in watching, suddenly twitched its ears and turned its head.

Seeing that it was Xia Yu calling it, it immediately jumped down from beside the incubator, its four short legs trotting across the floor, its fluffy tail held high behind it.

It stopped at Xia Yu's feet, tilted its little face up, and stared at Xia Yu with bright, light pink eyes.

"Eee?"

Xia Yu didn't bother with any foreplay at all, and went straight to showcasing the European and American playing style.

He scooped up the Spirit Velvet Beast and took a deep breath of its soft, fluffy belly.

"Ooh-ee!"

The Spirit Velvet Beast was completely caught off guard by this sneak attack, letting out a soft, whimpering sound as its entire body trembled slightly in Xia Yu's hand.

The soft belly is the most vulnerable part of almost all four-legged pets.

Such a sensitive spot was attacked by Xia Yu without warning, and it instinctively stretched out its four pink paws to try to push him away.

But the moment it touched Xia Yu's skin, it quickly retracted its claws, as if afraid of scratching Xia Yu's face.

After playing with the Spirit Velvet Beast for a while, Xia Yu asked in his mind again, "Now let's see how close I am to the Spirit Velvet Beast?"

[Eevee's current affinity with its host is: 35]

Xia Yu understood immediately; indeed, intimacy level was related to behavioral interactions.

However, if you want the intimacy level to increase quickly, a high level of affection is also necessary.

Otherwise, no matter how much time you spend with a pet that has a 0% affinity level, you won't become closer to it.

Xia Yu came to this conclusion.

Wait a minute, this is starting to feel more and more like a niche game...

Chapter 70: Countdown to the Hatching of the Little Nebula! (Please vote and read on!)

After playing with the clingy spirit beast for a while, the "delivery" from Tianyan Group arrived.

When the silver falcon landed in the courtyard carrying the huge iron box, Xia Yu felt for a moment as if he were playing a game called PUBG.

This isn't a package delivery, it's an airdrop!

After taking out the spiritual materials worth hundreds of thousands from the express delivery box, Xia Yu began making energy cubes.

In half an afternoon, the energy block generator consumed countless rounds of spiritual materials.

Xia Yu made more than twenty different kinds of energy cubes.

Half of them were prepared for Lin Sisi and Zhao Yuankang, their regular customers.

Although Miaomiao Pet Shop was destroyed, business must continue.

He used the SF Express app to call a few silver falcons, tied boxes of packaged energy cubes to the delivery boxes under their claws, filled in the address, and then stood in the yard watching them take flight.

The rest is all part of today's main event: the aptitude blocks.

Xia Yu counted the quantity.

Three boxes of premium quality, five boxes of good quality, and seven boxes of inferior quality – the shipment rate is not bad.

Although the raw materials for just a dozen or so boxes of qualification blocks would cost over 100,000 yuan, cost is not an issue at all.

Xia Yu will definitely be able to sell it for dozens of times the profit.

As long as the results are satisfactory, those beast tamers will never be stingy with the necessary training costs.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that the effect of the qualification block can be verified.

He turned his head to look at a corner of the room.

Lady Xueling was sitting cross-legged on a futon by the window, her body enveloped in a faint halo of light. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her breathing was long and steady, as if she had entered a very deep meditative state.
