Chu Che stared at the little man before him helplessly.
"Little dog. Where I'm heading off to is too risky for you. So can you let go?"
~Grrrrrrrrr
Latching onto Chu Che was the most adorable dog ever.
Well, once it got cleaned up, it would indeed look adorable.
But as of now, anyone could see that it was a stray dog.
Looking at the little guy, its owner probably died or something, because from the words of many around, the dog had been lying on that same spot on the streets for months now.
Even if it were hungry, it would find food and still go back to that exact spot.
Its body was covered with wounds and injuries from fights, making it look more like a beast rather than an adorable pup.
Chu Che had a genuine love for dogs.
So on his way to the nearest restaurant, when passing through the streets of Daimu city, he spotted the poor thing and bought a full meal for it.
Of course, people laughed at him in disdain and said he was crazy, but he didn't care.
He also gave the dog one of the healing pills Old Fru gave him for the mission.
So the dog's injuries should be healed in no time.
All this was good and all, but now the dog latched onto him and refused to let go?
It whimpered softly and didn't want to be left behind, as it bit his sleeve as hard as it could.
And no matter how Chu Che talked to the little guy, it still didn't let go of his sleeves.
Of course, he could drag the poor guy off if he wanted to.
But he felt like if he did, he might injure the poor guy instead.
He was helpless on what to do.
Meanwhile, those watching the scene couldn't help speaking out.
"Boss Chu, please take the little guy with you!"
"Yeah. The poor guy likes you, boss Chu. So just take him."
"You know, the more I watch, the more I realize how kind Boss Chu is. Just look at how much he has done for the little guy?"
"Boss Chu, please just take the little guy with you."
"Actually, I understand the boss's concern. He's going on a dangerous mission. So taking the little guy there might put him in more harm instead."
"You're right! How could we forget about this? But what about the pup? Look at the wounds that were found earlier on its body? It looks like it has to struggle every day for food. So it isn't the safest and calmest area around the boss."
....
~Whoof Whoof.
The little guy opened its big blue eyes, slumped its shoulders down, and stirred at Chu Che pitifully.
Chu Che tightened his lips hesitantly before finally agreeing to bring it with him.
As for whether he could protect it or not, he was very confident in this matter.
"Alright, little guy, you can follow me."
As if understanding him, the tiny pup started jumping around him happily.
~Whoof Whoof.
It rubbed against his legs and wagged its tail as hard as it could.
Chu Che found that the little guy seemed very spiritual as if he could almost understand what he was saying?
"Little guy, since you're going to follow me, let's give you a name. From now on, you'll be called Wei Wei Che. You are now part of my Che Family."
~whoof.
The little guy barked and nodded its head while puffing out its chest, making it look adorable.
Those in barrage once again exploded.
"Ahhhh!! I can't take it anymore. I want to hug our family's Wei Wei."
"As a man, I have to say that this little guy is good at selling cuteness. Even I am falling for his charms."
"Do you think Wei Wei is the boss's first pet?"
"Hmmm... It's hard to say. The boss is just too mysterious."
"Ahhhh, Wei Wei is so cute!"
(^_^)
....
Chu Che looked at Wei Wei while deep in thought.
[Host, you've noticed it too, right? Wei Wei isn't an average dog but a great reincarnated ancient beast. That's why it's spiritual.]
Chu Che looked at Wei Wei and was taken aback.
What were the odds that he would find a pet this powerful?
Could it be the transmigrator halo?
Listening to the system, he couldn't help frowning.
'System, just now, I sensed that there's a blockage in Wei Wei's meridians, which is the reason why he's still mortal. So how do I open it up?'
[Host, you can exchange your current pay for a Perfection-grade True Jade Pill, courtesy of the system. It will cleanse the blockage, repair any damaged organs and remove impurities. Host, this will be your fastest and most efficient way because no one in the lower or ordinary realm can create such a pill that will match Wei Wei's mythical bloodline and divine body.]
Chu Che listened and nodded in agreement.
Pills, and even elixirs and powders, are generally split into 5 grades based on density and quality;
Lower grade: (only retaining <=20% quality)
Moderate (retaining 40% quality max)
Higher (60%)
Near-perfection: (80%)
Perfection:(95% pure, no impurities)
So all pills, elixirs, and powders were graded as such.
But those were just the grades.
As for pill levels, there were several, with the lowest being a Tier 1 pill.
So one could have a Tier 1-lower grade pill, Tier 1-Near perfection elixir, a Tier 2-higher grade pill, and so on.
Additionally, each tier can be formed by alchemists within those classes.
For example, rank-1 alchemists can at most create Tier-1 pills, with any quality from Low to perfection, if they work hard.
Regarding quality, it seemed hard for them to create one above Moderate level.
That said, the lower realm primarily produced Tier 1 & 2 pills. It was even seen as a miracle if they got Tier 3 ones. And when it came to quality, the lower realm couldn't produce Near-perfect or Perfection Pills.
Coupled with that, some specific pill formulas were far above their knowledge and would be impossible for them to make.
That said, the pill offered by the system was too rare.
Such a pill that could take care of Wei Wei's ancient beast nature was bound to be in the upper realm and higher.
Indeed, his fastest bet was to use the system.
Anyway, 1/10 of all payments from customers in the various halls were rewarded by the system for his upkeep.
He was at a lower level now. And when he ranked up as Park owner, his pay would also increase.
But how exactly was he supposed to rank up?
Firstly, he had to create enough halls and entertainment for the customers.
Secondly, every successful business needs branches in different locations.
Thirdly, the higher the park's reputation and the more customers available contributed to determining his pay.
Sigh... Why did he suddenly feel poor?
