Tianwu City, Zhao Residence.
At this moment, in the backyard of the residence's kitchen, a young man dressed in white was flailing frenetically.
Around him, flies were darting about in panic due to his activity.
Upon careful observation, one would notice that his eyes were cloudy and lacked life.
Obviously, he was a blind man.
"Look, our honored Young Master Zhao is at it again, trying to catch flies."
"Tsk, a blind man catching flies - what a spectacle."
"Why don't we make a bet on how many days it will take for him to catch a fly?"
The crowd of kitchen staff didn't hesitate to mock and laugh.
In this world that respected martial power, a blind man like him was less esteemed than even the average man.
However, just as everybody was laughing, the young man stretched out his hand suddenly.
Whether by sheer luck, or through his sharp hearing discerning the location, he managed to catch a fly straightaway.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for catching a fly and successfully activating the God-Level Beast Evolution System!"
Hearing the synthesized sound in his mind, Lin Hao's heart skipped a beat, leaving him on the brink of tears.
As a member of the throng of time-travelers, Lin Hao naturally understood what a system was.
Although the arrival of the system was a whopping eighteen years late, it was undoubtedly an unexpected help during his current predicament.
However, he had to personally catch a live animal to successfully activate the system at the start.
Therefore, he chose the kitchen as the capture spot, where flies were most abundant.
For three days, he was both laborious and lucky.
Now though, he finally completed the task.
"Ding, the host has caught a fly, would you like to make it a pet?"
Instinctively, Lin Hao muttered, "Yes."
"Congratulations host on obtaining a pet, you may now name it."
"Kung Fu Little Fly."
At these words, Lin Hao was struck by a thought, recalling a sci-fi movie from his previous life, he immediately muttered the name.
"Ding, pet naming completed."
As the system voice sounded, a data panel promptly flashed before Lin Hao's mind.
【Kung Fu Little Fly】
Code Name: 001
Master: Lin Hao
Battle Power: 1
Lifespan: 50 days
Skills: None
Can Evolve: All body organs
...
From the information on the system panel, Lin Hao has come to understand the functions of this animal evolution system.
It primarily enhances the battle power of animals for personal use.
And this function is divided into two types.
The first type is 'Full Body Enhancement'.
It can strengthen all the organs of an animal.
There are a total of four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and King-level.
The higher the level, the more money is required, increasing tenfold with each level.
For instance, a beginner evolution requires ten thousand taels of gold, whereas the intermediate evolution requires one hundred thousand taels...
The second type is the 'Advancement Enhancement'.
The system is primarily divided into seven stages: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.
In simple terms, this is a system ability that allows animals to upgrade and transform. A rooster, when upgraded to the SSS level, has a high probability of transforming into a divine beast-level Fire Phoenix!
However, the cost to upgrade is somewhat steep. Each upgrade requires at least a hundred thousand pieces of silver. The price for each subsequent level also increases ten-fold. Additionally, the first type of 'full-body enhancement' can only be met and upgraded after reaching the king level.
For instance, when upgrading from D level to C level. A pet must be at the king level under the D level enhancement to evolve to the C level.
"I see!"
Having fully understood the system's functions, Lin Hao, while suddenly understanding, also feels a bit excited. If he could enhance a large group of divine beast level animals in the future, wouldn't he have free reign in this world?
However, Lin Hao soon realizes a key issue. That is, he is penniless at the moment. How could he afford these upgrades...
"Ding, the system detects that the host is binding a pet for the first time. Congratulations, you have received a newcomer gift package. Would you like to claim it?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Lin Hao immediately uttered without hesitation, "Yes."
"Congratulations, host Lin Hao, you have received a free Animal King level enhancement."
"Congratulations, host Lin Hao, you've obtained a free animal advancement."
"Please choose the pet that needs to be evolved."
In an instant, a light screen panel flashed in Lin Hao's mind, featuring five small boxes.
The first box displayed a small black fly.
As for the other four empty boxes, they probably represented four more pets that he could capture.
Lin Hao immediately clicked on the fly's totem.
"Ding, enhancement successful. The Kungfu Fly has received comprehensive improvements."
In the next moment, Lin Hao noticed substantial changes in the data panel of the Kungfu Fly. Whether it was speed, strength, senses, or intelligence, all had greatly increased.
For example, combat power, which had soared from the previous 1 directly up to 1000.
However, its lifespan remained at 50 days.
Obviously, this type of enhancement can't increase a pet's lifespan.
Now, it was time for the advancement upgrade.
"Ding, advancement successful. Congratulations to the Kungfu Fly for upgrading to C-rank, and acquiring a special skill, Blood Blade Sickle Foot."
Immediately thereafter, Lin Hao was pleasantly surprised to discover that the fly totem on the square grid had suddenly changed.
The originally thin fly looked like an athlete, its body was full of muscle mass, its six legs had also become strong and robust with its talons shining like metallic blades.
The most crucial part was its lifespan which unusually skyrocketed from 50 days to a total of 500 days!
Lin Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This advancement feature was absolutely fascinating!
Lin Hao tried to unclasp his hand...
However, the small fly did not flee at once but rather stayed obediently in his palm, as if waiting for commands.
"Eh? What is this..."
In a daze, Lin Hao surprisingly found out that his vision was no longer dark, and he could actually sense the surrounding light and objects.
However, this vision did not originate from his eyes, but from the palm of his hand.
It was exactly where the Kung Fu fly resided.
Could it be that I can use a god-like perspective and share the scene viewed by the Kung Fu fly?!
Thinking of this, Lin Hao's heart was immediately filled with exhilaration.
It made him feel more and more that this god-level animal evolution system was tailored specifically for him.
"Tsk, quite disappointing to be caught so easily, our bet is off then."
"For a blind man to catch a fly, that's something never heard before."
As the chefs saw Lin Hao actually catch a fly, although they were astonished, a thick mockery lingered in their words.
At that moment, Lin Hao was making use of the vision of his martial arts trained fly to view these chefs clearly.
Their bodies were obese, with big ears and their faces were greasy.
In the Zhao Residence, the chefs belonged to the relatively low-ranking miscellaneous workers, but even so, they showed no respect for him, the son-in-law.
Born in the Lin Family, one of the three major families in the city, his background could be considered good. However, due to his congenital blindness, he was not well-recognized in the family since childhood.
Six months ago, he married into the Zhao Family in a marriage alliance for the benefit of his family, and has since been subject to humiliation.
Even though he had a beautiful wife, shared a room, yet every night they had to sleep separately.
One on the bed, one on the floor; he was treated worse than the servants of Zhao Residence.
Lin Hao didn't care for the mockery of the chefs and turned to leave the courtyard.
Buzzing——!
The martial arts trained fly circled in the air and landed on Lin Hao's shoulder.
"Little Li."
Seeing Lin Hao want to leave, the head chef, a big fat man, gave an eye signal to his apprentice nearby.
The apprentice understood and went gloomily to stand in front of Lin Hao, sticking out his foot, intending to make Lin Hao fall flat on his back.
In the vision of the martial arts trained fly, Lin Hao saw everything clearly.
Since marrying into the Zhao Family six months ago, he didn't know who he had offended, and often someone was looking to make trouble for him.
Particularly these chefs, who would often tamper with his food and they were very mean!
