My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Savior’s Epic Enhancement!
 

Fang You: “?”

Not thinking further about the game’s production or the description provided, this scene alone, with black smoke constantly billowing from the box, looked as though some great demon lord was trying to break free from its seal.

It was somewhat creepy!

Even though it was a game product, Fang You put down the treasure box and quietly retreated to the windowsill, swallowing nervously.

Perhaps, probably, nothing would happen.

Perhaps having heard his prayers, the treasure box on the floor, aside from continuously emitting black smoke, showed no other abnormalities.

The black smoke was peculiar indeed—it didn’t disperse but instead resembled a dense, black liquid, flowing from the box and gathering mid-air.

The black cloud grew from the size of a pebble to the size of a fist and then as big as a laptop bag before the treasure box finally stopped emitting more smoke.

In the next moment, the black cloud touched the ground and stretched out like noodles, transforming into a rather ordinary, but extremely glossy and black-furred cat.

It made eye contact with Fang You, cocked its head, and uttered, “Meow?”

…

Fang You rubbed the black cat’s head for a good ten seconds before the cat, apparently finding it distasteful, pushed him away with its paw.

It was surprisingly strong.

He had just jokingly challenged it but seemed to have been outmatched.

How could he possibly be outdone by a cat!

Fang You opened his own panel, and next to his character image, there was now a lazily sprawled black cat added. In his ‘Ability’ section, a new ‘Pet’ indicator had also appeared.

‘Pet: Black Cat (renamable)’

‘Physique: 5.9’

‘Spirit: 6.5’

‘Life Energy: 6.26’

‘Mystery: 0’

‘Ability: Delusion Dispelling Manifestation, Giant Spirit Transformation’

‘Description: …’

This black cat, seemingly perhaps probably quite strong! Its two attributes combined were even stronger than Black Blade, the current part-time worker for Lantern White Robe!

And it possessed two abilities that seemed equally powerful.

—

‘Delusion Dispelling Manifestation: The black cat’s eye glow can penetrate illusions, counter disaster evils, and force Mysterious Evils to reveal themselves.’

‘Giant Spirit Transformation: A special transformation ability that allows significant enhancement of its dimensions and body size for a short period. This ability’s duration is relatively brief.’

Not only its two abilities, but the black cat itself possessed the innate ability to directly harm Mysterious Evils and was quite adept at countering them, similar to the Evil-Slaying Greatsword.

Also, he discovered that he could train this black cat in the game interface just like training an Angel Envoy; the only difference was that as a pet, it couldn’t stray too far away as its strength would steadily decline with distance.

This dashed Fang You’s hopes of sending Black Pupil off to work alone. Even so, this cat was very strong—perhaps even strong enough to replace Black Blade in its role as combat support.

Fang You’s gaze toward the black cat, now known as Black Pupil, had entirely changed.

“From now on, you’ll be called Black Pupil. Work hard, and we both have a promising future.”

“Meow~”

The black cat… Black Pupil glanced at him, turned around, and with its backside to him, completely ignored him.

Fang You: “???”

To show such disrespect to the Saviour himself, the Lantern White Robe tutor, was simply…

For the sake of your combat potential, let’s just forgive you then.

…

Though Black Pupil was indeed aloof, it was just that—aloof. Occasionally, Fang You could still pet it and issue commands, and it understood perfectly—despite responding only with “meow.” However, if it found the orders excessive, Black Pupil would become impatient, engage in all sorts of procrastination and show disdain.

Poor review! This employee’s performance is unsatisfactory!

But it’s strong, though.

After some in-depth exchange, Fang You finally gained a better understanding of Black Pupil.

The range of Black Pupil’s activity wasn’t very vast, but it was decent enough, spanning several hundred to a thousand kilometers… This information was obtained, naturally, by using the method of extending its paw once, twice, three times, four times to indicate distance.

It almost made Black Pupil slam the table in frustration.

This distance was manageable. When it was necessary to fight, he could simply throw Black Pupil into the fray… It would take the hits while Fang You dealt the damage. It was virtually perfect.

And it could transform into black smoke and be retracted into the sealed treasure box… Although the cat didn’t really want to go back in.

Overall, there were many uses to explore.

It was also easy to care for. Black Pupil understood his words, and there was another key point… Black Pupil looked like a cat but could also turn into black smoke, which was somewhat like a spirit but not entirely. In this condition, Black Pupil didn’t need to eat anything.@@novelbin@@

Being able to survive without food meant he could save on cat food!

That was pretty good; his, Fang the Savior’s, finances were already a bit tight.

“Meow~”

Black Pupil glanced at the cat food images on the mobile phone, then turned its head away with a look of disdain.

…

In the evening,

After using the skill cultivation card three times more, Fang You lay on the bed with a vacant stare, as if he could exhale black rings of smoke.

Black Pupil, in the distance, glanced over and then paid it no mind, squatting in front of the computer on its own, pressing the mouse with its paw to open a novel named ‘Starting from the Contracted Spirits’. Watching the powerful pets commanding the wind and clouds within, Black Pupil slightly nodded its head.

I, Lord Black Pupil, must stand between heaven and earth like that, meow~!

…

Fang You glanced at Black Pupil, then at himself, feeling weak and powerless.

Although his physique had greatly strengthened with the Awakening, using Palm Thunder three times in one evening was not something meant for humans; it was exhausting. However, there was no time to waste. To upgrade Palm Thunder to the next level by tomorrow, he had to make the push today.

Otherwise, there would be no time to do so.

After resting for a while, Fang You got up and cooked several big packets of noodles… On the way, he glanced at Black Pupil; it was a pity the silly cat couldn’t make him noodles. There he was, Fang the Savior, exhaustingly having to get up and cook for himself.

He couldn’t just not cook. The consumption of hard work and diligence was also significant, and he feared waking up hungry in the night.

Oh right, he didn’t plan on sleeping normally tonight anyway.

After eating his late-night snack, Fang You lay on the bed and skillfully covered himself with the blanket. At the same time, he picked up his phone and selected ‘Cultivation – Use Energy Elixir’ for his character.

Suddenly, it felt as if energy surged from within his body, as if his mouth was pried open and something was poured into it.

His body warmed up, but it wasn’t uncomfortable; just snugly warm. His eyelids grew heavy, and he fell into a deep sleep.

…

“As expected, elixirs are comfortable. No pain and they even help with sleep. Waking up feeling refreshed and energized,” he said.

Fang You stretched and then noticed Black Pupil still squatting in front of the computer, seemingly not tired at all.

Had it been reading the novel all night?

Damn! He, Fang the Savior, didn’t even have time to read novels! If Black Pupil wasn’t restricted by distance and could go on missions alone, he would have surely made it experience the grind of 996 and 007 work schedules.

Forget about the silly cat.

The life energy flowed abundantly within his body, and Fang You checked his stats and was surprised, “I actually gained so much, the green-level elixir really works wonders, more than doubling my stats.”

His previous life energy was at 4.4, and a single Energy Elixir had given him a boost of 5 units.

Of course, this was a fixed increment. As his strength increased, the significance of this boost would become less and less noticeable, but nevertheless, it wasn’t an overstatement to say his endurance had doubled for the time being.

There was also the Palm Thunder, which was about to break through, and the Lantern White Robe and Combat Pet Black Pupil he had acquired yesterday.

He, Fang the Savior, was epic-level enhanced!
