C7 Talent Sharing 1

As if it had tapped into his thoughts, another prompt chimed in.

"Congratulations, Pet Envoy. You've earned..."

"Congratulations, Pet Envoy, you've earned your first token of pet appreciation. The system has automatically converted it into two tokens of appreciation, and you've also been awarded a lottery draw."

This was Liu Xu's introduction to his role within the Elf Pet App—as a Pet Envoy.

But he quickly pushed that aside, his attention captured by more thrilling news.

Factoring in the appreciation he'd earned from aiding the Husky, he had now completed 40% of the prerequisite mission to unlock a new feature. Considering he had only accessed the app a few days ago and had been actively using it for mere hours, his progress was impressively swift.

"The lottery draw resets every 24 hours. You have one unused chance. Would you like to use it now?"

The system's prompt echoed once more.

Why pass up a free draw? Only a fool would ignore such an opportunity!

Without hesitation, Liu Xu opted to take the draw.

A golden, fan-shaped wheel burst onto the screen, divided into nearly a hundred segments, each with a different prize.

The needle whirred into motion and soon halted on an odd symbol.

"You've won 'Mini Animal Ability Sharing (One-Time)' in this lottery."

"Mini Animal Ability Sharing (One-Time): Upon locking onto a target, you can copy the ability of any mini animal within a five-centimeter radius. Eligible targets include miniature creatures like flies, mosquitoes, ants, bedbugs, etc."

"This reward is a single-use consumable. You have one use only, and the choice is irreversible. Please select your target with care."

Liu Xu paused, a shiver of unease running through him.

What good was this prize? Sharing a fly's ability—what could a fly do besides... eat waste?

He struggled to envision a practical use for this peculiar ability. As he was about to ponder further before using it, he noticed the reward's sharing opportunity was ticking down on a countdown timer.

"You've got just one minute to select your target. Simply activate the rear camera, aim it at the target, and confirm your choice."

Damn, is this some kind of prank?

Liu Xu swore under his breath. The pet shop prided itself on cleanliness, requiring even household pets to undergo thorough disinfection and disease prevention before being admitted. With barely a minute to spare, how was he supposed to pick a suitable target?

Flies were out of the question, and mosquitoes were hard to come by during the day...

Liu Xu stood up in a rush, his mind racing as he scanned his surroundings.

Before long, his eyes landed on the large tree by the pet shop's entrance.

How could he have overlooked this? If flies and mosquitoes were scarce, ants surely weren't. Plus, ants could lift up to a hundred times their body weight. Sharing their abilities might not be such a bad idea after all.

With that thought, he dashed outside and circled the tree, searching.

It didn't take long for him to spot the ants marching up the trunk.

Following the system's prompt, he scanned the ants, and a message quickly popped up on his screen:

"Target selected: Black Ant. Available abilities for sharing: Limb Strength or Antennae Function."

The system's explanation was brief, yet Liu Xu grasped its meaning.

'Limb Strength' obviously referred to the power of movement and exertion, while 'Antennae Function' likely involved pheromone communication. Being human, Liu Xu had never experienced such an ability share before. Concerned about potential changes to his body's structure, he hesitated briefly before opting to share the Limb Strength ability.
