Su Chen looked at the prompt and got extremely excited. When he first transmigrated into this world two years ago, he tried everything to see if he had a golden finger.
However, even after trying everything, he could find nothing. Dejected, he could only sulk like an ordinary mortal.
Now, after two years, his golden finger was finally activated.
How could he not get excited?
Su Chen turned to look at the mouse in front of him, this time lovingly, and even gave the bread in his hand without hesitation.
"Now that you are my beast companion, your name will be Xuanhao. Don't worry, I will never let you starve."
He promised with great care.
After all, according to the information from the system, he needed a beast companion to simulate. So, he had to take good care of Xuanhao, as this was the only beast he had.
Xuanhao showed a surprised look, akin to a human, and accepted the bread happily. He had been starving since this morning and couldn't wait to nibble on this food.
Su Chen looked at its happy expression with satisfaction and thought to himself:
"Start the simulation."
Suddenly, a series of texts appeared in his mind that he could see even with his eyes closed.
---
[Beast Simulation Begins!]
[This is a free text simulation and will not count toward today's quota.]
[Simulation Target: Xuanhao (Evolrus)]
---
[Today, you accidentally accepted an Evolrus as a beast companion and happily named him Xuanhao. You also gave him a piece of bread as a reward.]
[Xuanhao was very happy as he didn't need to act cute in front of this human for food. He didn't know why, but he felt much closer to this human than ever before.]
[So, he happily ate the bread and went outside to the courtyard, beneath the tree, into its hole to sleep.]
[The next day, Xuanhao woke up from his sleep and entered the room in search of his master. After seeing that he came from outside, you gave him a piece of bread in a good mood. However, you didn't want him to sleep outside anymore. So, you made a simple nest inside your room, placed enough food, and went to work.]
[Xuanhao was very happy to get a new home. He ate the food in his nest and began to sleep inside. He didn't want to go outside searching for food anymore.]
[That afternoon, Xuanhao suddenly heard a sound and caught a strange smell in the room that didn't belong to his master.]
[He suddenly woke up from his sleep, became alert, and hurried outside.]
[He saw an ugly old man with a bent posture removing the log in the corner.]
[Since he knew his master hid the sparkling treasure beneath the log, he grew anxious and angry. He squeaked loudly and tried to bite the old man in front of him.]
[However, hearing the loud squeak, the old man became angry and kicked Xuanhao's head at great speed, shattering it as blood splattered everywhere.]
[Your Beast Companion Xuanhao is dead!]
[Simulation Connection is lost!]
[The beast simulation is over. You can keep one of the items.]
[1. The influx of increase in the state of cultivation of your Beast Companion Xuanhao - None
2. One of the random attributes of your Beast Companion Xuanhao]

"F*ck you, Steward Zhang!"
Su Chen gnashed his teeth in anger and was extremely furious. Seeing the description of the thief, how could he not recognize him?
No wonder he was overly concerned today. He even tried to check on his savings.
A dignified immortal, even if he was at the early stage of Qi Refining, was stealing money in a mortal house; how shameless.
Su Chen calmed his anger and looked at the prompt in front once again.
After going through the first simulation, he finally understood how it worked more or less.
Basically, this simulation was from the perspective of his beast companion, while he could receive rewards based on the performance and level of his beast companion.
Since Xuanhao was still a mortal creature, there was no cultivation to speak of. Moreover, he was sure that if he became a spiritual beast, it would cost him a spiritual stone to simulate.
After all, copper, silver, and gold were mortal currencies that had almost no value in the cultivation world.
Only because this town was too remote did they still have some worth; otherwise, nobody would pay attention to them.
"I choose two."
There was nothing to think about; the first reward had no value yet. However, he was curious about the beast's attribute reward.
---
[Ding!]
[You chose the second option and received a Beast Attribute of Xuanhao: Burrowing Mastery.]
[Burrowing Mastery: Can quickly dig tunnels for escape or create safe zones.]
---
Subsequently, a large amount of burrowing experience emerged in Su Chen's mind.
"..."
"What is this?"
Su Chen was dumbfounded. He hurriedly looked at his hands and feet and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no long claws or any kind of modification.
However, when he tried to recall the Burrowing Mastery attribute in his mind, his fingernail suddenly turned black and became as hard and long as the claw of Xuanhao.
He lightly scratched the floor of the room and easily dug out the soil with extreme proficiency.
"Squeak?"
Xuanhao looked at his master's action, finding it quite familiar, and became even happier.
"Fortunately, it isn't a permanent modification."
Su Chen was quite happy. Although the Burrowing Mastery was an unusual and less useful skill, it might come in handy at times.
Moreover, it was only a starting reward; there were more to come.
Just when he thought of this, the claw in his hand disappeared, and he felt lethargic as if the energy in his body had been drained away.
'Sure enough. There are limitations.'
Su Chen hurriedly stuffed two loaves of bread he had prepared in the morning into his mouth and finally felt satisfied.
'Let's simulate again. This time, bring Xuanhao with you and try to buy an Essence Condensation Pill by the way.'
He had initially thought of buying it tomorrow, as it was already late, but he couldn't wait now.
[Ding!]
[The first Beast Simulation is completed. Do you want to recharge to continue the simulation?]
