Time passed quickly. In a short while, two hours had passed.
Lin Bei looked down at the time and then at Whitey in his arms. He picked it up and prepared to go buy some pet supplies.
Now that he had 320 experience points, it should be enough to raise Whitey's bloodline to Superior Ninth-grade.
However, it was still a little lacking to advance to an Inferior Eighth-grade.
Therefore, Lin Bei could only hope that the pet shop has something he could buy that would make Whitey happy.
An hour later.
Lin Bei walked out of the pet shop with two shopping bags, one big and one small.
The sweet-looking lady at the door was smiling at him. Before she left, she made sure to say:
"Please come again!"
Hearing this, Lin Bei could only turn his head and force a smile.
Whitey stood on Lin Bei's shoulder. Fortunately, it was not too heavy now. It was as small as a doll and did not feel too obvious when it stood on Lin Bei's body.
However, from the expression on Whitey's face, it could be seen that it was very happy.
[You accompanied Whitey to the pet shop. It was very happy. Experience +100]
100 experience points!
The system notification immediately perked Lin Bei up. He did not expect to gain 100 experience points at once!
This was only to buy supplies. If he really used them, he would probably obtain more experience.
At the thought of this, the gloominess on Lin Bei's face was swept away. In an instant, he felt that the month's worth of living expenses he had just spent were worth it.
After another half an hour, Lin Bei finally brought Whitey home.
As soon as he reached home, Whitey jumped down from Lin Bei's shoulder and ran to the sofa.
Seeing this scene, Lin Bei did not know whether to laugh or cry.
No wonder people said that raising a cat meant raising an ancestor at home. In the past, Lin Bei did not understand and felt that this sentence was just an exaggeration.
But looking at it now… it was indeed so!
After packing up the pet supplies he had bought, Lin Bei rummaged through the bag and found a box of canned food.
"This will be your dinner tonight."
When he opened the can, the fragrance of meat wafted into his nose, making Lin Bei drool.
On second thought, he hadn't even had dinner yet.
However, just as he was thinking about what to eat for dinner, Whitey, who was lying on the sofa, seemed to have smelled the fragrance of the canned food and jumped in front of Lin Bei.
Looking at Whitey wagging its tail and its big round eyes filled with desire, Lin Bei smiled and reached out to pat its head. Then, he placed the can in front of it.
"Meow! Meow!"
Whitey mew at Lin Bei twice before starting to move with a look of enjoyment.
[You fed Whitey canned food. It feels very happy. Experience +100]
A single can gave 100 EXP!
Sure enough, imported canned food was indeed different!
In his excitement, Lin Bei also prepared some dinner for himself. By the time Whitey finished eating, Lin Bei was almost done.
After cleaning up, Lin Bei picked up Whitey, who was licking his fur, and placed it on the sofa.
What followed was the highlight of the night.
Lin Bei opened the contract beast interface again. He now had 520 experience points, and upgrading Whitey's bloodline level required 200 experience points.
Without hesitation, Lin Bei clicked on the plus sign behind the bloodline level.
[Bloodline level upgrade. Do you want to spend 200 experience points to raise Whitey's bloodline level to Superior Ninth-grade?]
"Yes!"
[Bloodline upgrade successful. Whitey's bloodline has successfully upgraded to Superior Ninth-grade!]
[Ding! Detected that host's contract beast has completed the bloodline upgrade. Rewarded experience +100!]
After completing the first bloodline level up, he still had 420 experience points left. The next bloodline level up required 400 experience points.
Clearly, every time he leveled up, he would need to spend twice as much EXP to level up again.
Lin Bei looked at his remaining 420 experience points. After thinking for a while, he clicked on the plus sign again.
[Bloodline leveling up. Would you like to spend 400 experience points to raise Whitey's bloodline level to the Inferior Eighth-grade?]
"Yes!"
[Bloodline upgrade successful. Whitey's bloodline has successfully upgraded to the Inferior Eighth-grade!]
[Ding! Detected that host's contract beast has completed the bloodline upgrade. Rewarded experience +200!]
Reward: 200 experience points!
Lin Bei did not expect that this bloodline upgrade would give him 200 experience points at once.
In an instant, Whitey's bloodline level had successfully risen to the Inferior Eighth-grade. Lin Bei also revealed a satisfied smile.
Now that he only had 220 experience points left, it was obviously unrealistic for him to increase his bloodline level.
Therefore, Lin Bei shifted his gaze to another attribute panel in the system interface.
Realm.
This so-called Realm corresponded to the level of Humans.
From low to high, there were wild beasts, dire beasts, and Demonic Beasts. Each level was divided into ten small stages.
The current Whitey was only a wild beast, and it was at the lowest level.
This meant that it had not even reached the level of a wild beast.
Every time a contract beast leveled up, its physical abilities would increase slightly. After reaching a certain stage, it could even equip them with some exclusive skills.
Therefore, the realm was especially important to contract beasts.
"Looks like I have to raise your realm."
Lin Bei patted Whitey's head and said with a smile.
Whitey obediently rubbed against Lin Bei's hand and let out two cute cries.
"Meow! Meow!"
He opened the interface again and clicked on the plus sign behind the realm.
The system notification sounded in Lin Bei's mind again.
[Upgraded realm. Do you want to spend 100 experience points to upgrade Whitey's realm to Level 1 Wild Beast?]
What Lin Bei did not expect was that the cost of raising his realm seemed to be higher than raising his bloodline level.
However, he did not hesitate and replied, "Yes."
[Realm upgrade successful. Whitey's Realm has successfully upgraded to Level 1 Wild Beast!]
[Ding! Detected that host's contract beast has completed the realm upgrade. Reward: Black Iron Treasure Chest!]
