Kapitel 3: Am I Done For?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
"System?" Shao Zifeng called out softly.
...
Well, nothing happened, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward at one point.
The corner of Shao Zifeng's mouth twitched. If not for the fact that there were still blue light spots flickering by the edge of his eye, he would have thought that he had experienced a hallucination earlier.
After he determined that his mother was fine, Shao Zifeng felt a little excited about this new time and space. After all, in the other place, he was just an academically-underachieving, confused, smelly university student who could not see his future.
Over here, however, with help from this hack, maybe his future would be better...
Right?
Shao Zifeng pulled open the drawer with the Black-browed brocade snake and fed it a young mouse before he switched his gaze to another snake drawer.
Gaze...
The light blue screen slowly unfolded as a dark blue circle rotated on the screen.
He did not know if it was him, but he felt that this system had a slightly high lag time.
Was it trash that someone else did not want?
After he waited for a while, text finally appeared on the screen.
Name: Albino corn snake
Growth: Infancy
Status: Healthy, genetically defective, hungry
Strength: None
...
Attribute: None
Potential: None
Talent: None
Skill: None
Description: Artificially-bred albino specimen. Raised by humans since birth, without any knowledge of hunting. Its only value for existence is perhaps a small number of people like its appearance.
When Shao Zifeng noticed the genetic defect indicated on the screen, his gaze suddenly blurred.
A related memory suddenly crossed his mind.
It turned out that this timeline was the same as the one in his original world, but the turning point came when there was a sudden change 20 years ago. For some unknown reason, it had caused a mutation in animals, and it was officially called the Unknown Revival Event.
After the Unknown Revival Event, many plants and animals had mutated and gained incredible powers.
As more and more mutated creatures were contracted as pets, the so-called purebred cats and dogs that were originally beloved by all became less and less favored.
Later on, a research report said that cute pets such as the Ragdoll, Scottish Fold, Teacup Poodles, and the like did not become stronger after the Unknown Revival Event due to human intervention, which resulted in genetic defects. As such, they could only survive as ordinary pets by a human's side.
The scholars did not find any one of them with an enhanced variation, not in that sampling study at least.
Additionally, in the recent 20 years of research on the mutated creatures, humans had found that after the Unknown Revival Event, the mutations were roughly divided into three types of evolutionary directions.
They were atavistic evolution, collective evolution, and individual mutation evolution.
Take the giant pandas in Tianfu's Wolong Nature Reserve for instance. The Ironeater Panda, one of the national animals in the twelve municipalities of
Aside from the Ironeater Pandas, the giant pandas in Tianfu's Wolong Nature Reserve were generally no different from each other. Every panda in their species group possessed the same initial abilities, which was different from the Ironeater Panda's control of metals. The evolution in the panda species mainly involved the strengthening of their physical bodies.
Such collective evolution was universal, and no matter where in the world, the evolutionary direction of a species was the same. It was similar to the Pokemon Shao Zifeng had seen in the other timeline.
As for individual mutation evolution, it was not like the singular uniqueness of atavistic evolution. This type of evolution was almost irregular. Among the pandas with enhanced physical abilities, the birth of pandas with other abilities was possible. This evolution type was extremely rare, and many of the powers that resulted from it were very strange, most of which were not suitable for combat.
After Shao Zifeng digested the knowledge of the animals' evolutions, he quickly looked at the few other artificially-bred albinos, and as expected, they had no potential like the albino corn snake.
As creatures that had not even mastered any skill, they might never be regarded as true mutant creatures.
Several juvenile snakes with no potential cautiously kept to a corner, giving Shao Zifeng a headache. Why did everything in his hands cause him to lose money?
He shook his head in resignation and continued to examine the rest of the animals.

...

...
Description: Wasting time on this worthless creature is an insult to time.
You sure know how to ridicule...
Shao Zifeng secretly ridiculed the system. Why don't you work on fixing yourself first?
It was outdated, laggy, single-function only, and a bit sharp-tongued.
Of course, it might not be sharp-tongued and was just a preset program. Otherwise, anyone with any sense would not have made it so crude.
A while later, he had inspected almost all of the juvenile snakes in the snake cabinet. Besides their names and slightly different descriptions, there were no surprises.
The reason he had persisted for such a long time was perhaps due to the mentality he had whenever he drew
At first, he would be full of expectations while he tried to run through them all. As he opened the gacha one by one, his mind would become more and more at peace. After all, he already knew the outcome, and pushing on was just a result of his obsessive behavior.
When he came to the last snake box, Shao Zifeng hesitated and subconsciously touched his waist.
Through the acrylic wall, the Daboia viper could be seen coiled up in the middle of the box, and it stared at him with its cold eyes.
The moment Shao Zifeng saw it, he felt a throbbing pain in his waist.
Should he go out tomorrow to buy some goji berries for nourishment?
This little guy was scary.
He had no idea if this parallel world cross-over was just in spirit or...
While he thought of the other possibility, Shao Zifeng shuddered and made up his mind to buy goji berries tomorrow.
Whether that was the case or not, there was no harm in drinking more goji berry tea.
As Shao Zifeng mucked about, the information on the light blue screen refreshed itself.
Name: Daboia viper
Growth: Infancy
Status: Healthy, hungry, depressed
Strength: Level 1
...
Attribute: Poison
Potential: ★☆☆
Talent: Venomous. There is a chance of poisoning a foe during an attack (including but not limited to toxic tooth injections)
Skills: Strangulation, Tail Spike, Venom Spray
Description: This is a small, talented Daboia viper. Although exhausting a large amount of venom causes it to go into a depressive state, it is addicted to the pleasure of injecting venom...
Wooo!!!
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Shao Zifeng's head.
He then looked at the "Depressed" status.
Shao Zifeng suddenly felt disinterested; even a three-star potential could not make him happy.
Am... I done for?
Shao Zifeng, who was in a despondent state, did not realize as the ellipsis on the screen was updated with new information.
"Once the venom in its venom sac is filled up, the Daboia viper will try to release it on its own, even to the detriment of its body."
