"You... how is it possible?!"
Zhong Yi stared in shock at the Mischief Cat, his hands kneading a Pal Sphere involuntarily stopping.
But the Mischief Cat didn't stop, earnestly rolling the Pal Sphere with its paws.
Watching the progress bar of the Pal Sphere steadily climb, Zhong Yi finally believed it.
The Mischief Cat could really make Pal Spheres!
"What else can you do?"
"Meow, meow, meow?"
"Is it possible... all Pals can make Pal Spheres?"
Zhong Yi's interest was piqued.
At that moment, going out to catch Pals didn't seem quite as tempting to him.
He took turns releasing Mianyouyou and Pipi Chicken from their spheres.
Mianyouyou helped knead Pal Spheres, but Pipi Chicken did not.
"Why is there a difference between Pals?"
Muttering to himself, Zhong Yi opened the status screen for a Pal.
The Pal's panel was divided into four parts.
First: basic attributes.
Second: racial skills.
Third: combat skills.
Fourth: abilities, also called work suitability.
"Abilities? Work suitability? So that's it... Yes, that's it!"
Zhong Yi's eyes lit up as he instantly found the answer.
The Mischief Cat and Mianyouyou both had the Handicraft ability, but Pipi Chicken didn't, so only Pipi Chicken couldn't make Pal Spheres.
"What about Pipi Chicken's Gathering and Ranching abilities? Wait, I've got it..."
Zhong Yi suddenly had a flash of insight. He had unlocked a "Livestock Ranch" blueprint back at level 5, and it was clearly related to work abilities.
He quickly worked alongside the Mischief Cat, banging and crafting until the Livestock Ranch was built, then placed a Pipi Chicken at the base.
As he expected, the Pipi Chicken hurried straight to the ranch and crouched in a corner.
Soon, an egg appeared beneath it.
"This is amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
As if a door to a whole new world had swung open, Zhong Yi discovered another crucial mechanic of Fantasy Beasts: Pal World. Pals weren't just combat helpers—they could assist with construction and infrastructure too!
The humanoid Mischief Cat could craft items, mine, and transport resources, while Mianyouyou and Pipi Chicken acted like sheep and hens, producing wool and eggs respectively.
These were the most ideal spirit beast partners, both in battle and daily life!
"No wonder the base can house Pals... I thought they were just pets!"
Zhong Yi stared intently at the Pal Terminal and noticed there were upgrade missions for it.
As long as specific building requirements were met, the base could level up.
An upgraded base could hold even more Pals!
Zhong Yi immediately began constructing various new buildings...
...
...
Half an hour later.
"Brother Zhong, we're back!"
"Hahaha! We caught so many new Pals! Each one cuter than the last! If the big bro hadn't held us up, we could've snagged five more!"
"Pfft, do you really have to mention that?!"
The three of them chatted and laughed as they wandered back from the plains below.
Their base was set up on a small platform beneath the initial spawn area.
The terrain was flat, with plenty of trees and wild berries. Zhong Yi had immediately liked it as a home base.
"Old Zhong... hey, Old Zhong's been pretty busy. So many new buildings here! Oh, and he's still at the workbench rolling Pal Spheres..."
Zhou Yue walked up to the workbench with a grin and slapped the busy figure on the back.
"Old... what the hell?! Old Zhong turned into a Mischief Cat?!"
"What do you mean I turned into a Mischief Cat? I'm chopping trees over here!"
Zhong Yi's voice suddenly came from the grove to the side.
With a crash, a large tree fell, leaving a pile of lumber.
"Whoa... I'm overburdened! Come grab some of this wood for me!"
...
A few minutes later.
"I think from now on, we should put our stat points into carrying capacity. There's no point adding attack power since Pals do way more damage than we can anyway."
Zhong Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"How did you do it?! You got that Mischief Cat to make Pal Spheres for you?!"
Zhou Yue stared in disbelief at the Mischief Cat, which was still hard at work.
"I didn't do anything. It's Junior Brother Lu's new mechanic... every Pal can do some kind of work! Look!"
Zhong Yi pointed at the Pipi Chicken, frantically laying eggs in the ranch, and the Mianyouyou, producing wool.
"Wow! Eggs! I'm starving!"
Zhou Qiaoling grabbed an egg from the ranch and swallowed it in one bite.
"Sis, shouldn't you stop and think before eating someone's kid right in front of their mother?"
Zhou Yue was speechless.
"Huh? You're hungry too? Here, have one!"
Zhou Qiaoling saw the hunger marker pop up above Pipi Chicken's head, so she casually picked up another egg from the ground and stuffed it into the Pipi Chicken's mouth.
The Pipi Chicken, after eating the egg, squinted with a satisfied expression.
"...This is just too messed up."
Zhou Yue couldn't help but facepalm.
"By the way, what new Pals did you catch this time? Let me see!"
Zhong Yi suddenly grew curious.
"Hehe, Brother Zhong, you wouldn't believe it! The farther we went, the more Pals we found! I caught three new ones!"
Mu Yawen grinned shyly, releasing the new Pals one by one into the base for Zhong Yi to inspect.
"A Huxiaoxiang? Watering? Hmm... what kind of work needs watering?"
"A Ye Nini? Seeding? Wait, that goes with Watering and Gathering, right?"
"A Zong Mingzi? This dog is pretty cute... perfect! We were just missing one for chopping wood!"
Seeing Zong Mingzi's attributes, Zhong Yi made the call right away.
That settled it—the third new Pal slot at the base went to Zong Mingzi.
"One Mischief Cat to mine, one Zong Mingzi to chop wood, and one Mianyouyou to produce wool... perfect!"
Zhong Yi beamed with satisfaction at his arrangement.
With that, their core logistical needs were covered—no need to waste manpower on grunt work.
"Let's go, let's go! Now we don't have to worry about building the base. Let's catch some Pals!"
Zhong Yi was impatient.
While the other three had had fun catching Pals, he had been stuck at the base, itching to go out.
He couldn't wait to see what the strange and wonderful Pals out there looked like.
After all, this Pal World Lu Ze had built was way too dreamlike and way too interesting.
It was completely beyond what cultivators normally understood about spirit beasts!
It was hard to imagine how Lu Ze had created such a rich world in such a short time.
"Going further... it's probably not gonna be easy."
Zhou Yue shook his head.
"Why?" Zhong Yi asked, confused.
Zhou Qiaoling clenched her fists and bit her lip.
"That damned Old Demon Lu..."
"He put a level 38 big demon right at our doorstep!"
"He's absolutely inhuman!!!"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
