Change jobs, pet beast!

Data panel?

After repeatedly confirming the information in his pupils, Jiang Mo was deeply shocked.

After two lifetimes of pent-up frustration, is it finally time to turn things around?

The time traveler really does have a cheat code; netizens weren't lying!

Jiang Mo couldn't contain his excitement and wanted to shout out loud to release all the pressure that had been building up.

"Woof!"

The Firehound glanced at the strangely behaving young biped, took a step back, and looked completely bewildered.

But if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it.

With its chest puffed out and head held high, it placed the prey it was carrying in its mouth into the hand of the old two-legged creature, as proud as ever.

The old crane grabbed its prey by the neck, weighed it in its hand, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey troll, you're lucky! Catching this guy is enough for a good meal for me!"

"Hmph~"

The Firehound's large muzzle is angled at 45 degrees towards the sky, and its tail spins rapidly like a propeller.

That's right, don't you even know who made the move?

It's just a mouse, easy peasy!

Jiang Mo calmed down a bit and shifted her attention.

[Species]: Windfly Squirrel (Wild)

[Bloodline Rank]: Mountain and River Beasts (Lower Grade)

[Life Cycle]: Maturity Stage

【Attributes】: None

[Job Title]: Unemployed

[Work Experience]: Not currently employed

The data matches...

Jiang Mo couldn't help but blink.

The name of the Wind Leap Squirrel may include the word "wind," but its core characteristic is that it uses natural wind to accelerate its jumps; it does not control the wind element itself.

This is one of the common mistakes in the Da Xiao Dynasty kindergarten textbook. Jiang Mo made a mistake on it when he was 4 years old. While other children got 100 points, he got 99 points, and he still remembers it vividly.

"Young master, please wait a moment while I prepare the ingredients."

He Zhifeng rolled up his sleeves, pulled out a small knife from somewhere, flicked his wrist, and the knife flashed wildly. A line of scarlet blood spurted from the neck of the Wind Leap Squirrel.

Before Jiang Mo could see what happened next, the Wind Leap Squirrel had already been skinned, its head, claws, and internal organs removed, turning it into a piece of tender, firm squirrel meat with a faint scent of warm blood.

"Young master, please give this old servant some clean water."

Jiang Mo nodded, expending his soul power to condense clean water once more.

"Whoosh—"

A deep blue water snake coils around rat meat.

He Zhifeng looked focused, as if he were observing the birth of a work of art.

Originating from the Level 1 power "Clean Water Flow" of bathhouse attendants, it naturally possesses antibacterial and disinfecting functions, making it suitable not only for bathing pets or people, but also for washing vegetables and meat.

Even when used directly as drinking water, it is clearer and more refreshing than ordinary well water or spring water.

"alright."

Jiang Mo moved the water snake away, snapped his fingers, and the water spray dissipated, leaving a damp patch on the ground.

He Zhifeng picked up his knife, used the rock as a cutting board, and cut the rat meat into even pieces.

"Young master, our group will definitely not die of thirst or hunger while camping in the wild. We're living a comfortable life, so don't despair too soon."

While chatting, He Zhifeng took out the hardwood branches he had prepared in advance and skewered the pieces of meat one by one.

The young master is a highly talented bathhouse attendant.

He is a Level 3 "Chef".

Although his skills have declined due to old age, he can only perform at a level of 2 at most.

But with two Level 2 employees, it's still a powerful combination of "bathhouse attendant" and "chef," so how bad could their quality of life be?

"Finally, add the 'soul seasoning'."

He Zhifeng clenched his fist, and when he loosened it, fine powdery white and greenish-blue particles fell down, just enough to cover the surface of the rat meat skewers.

This is the chef's Level 2 power, which allows him to freely generate the five flavors of sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, and salty from his soul power. In addition to making food taste better, it can also be used to drive away wild beasts, making it a skill with two uses.

"Whoosh!"

Like magic, the faint fishy smell that lingered in the air quickly dissipated.

He Zhifeng hummed a little tune as he started a fire to roast meat.

"Woof!"

The fire hound, having finished eating the scraps of rat heads and tails on the ground, stared longingly at its owner with its sharp, red eyes.

"Go away, go away! If I asked you to go hunting, you would have fed yourself first, why would you want to eat?"

The old crane glanced sideways, not intending to give the contracted pet any more special treatment.

"Waaah..."

The fire hound stopped drooling, tilted its body, and rolled over, its light red belly facing upwards, looking docile and ready to be kneaded.

(͡°ᴥ͡°ʋ)↺

"No, you can't eat anymore! Eating too much will affect your fighting ability!"

The old crane glared, issuing a second warning.

"Waaah..."

The fire hound tried to throw a tantrum.

He Zhifeng snorted coldly, turned his head away, and didn't want to pay any more attention to this shameless dog who was begging for food.

"Troll, I'll definitely do it next time."

Jiang Mo squatted down and took the opportunity to stroke the fire hound's belly.

It felt hot to the touch, like there was a furnace inside my stomach.

If you light this up to keep you warm all night when it's freezing cold, it will keep you cozy.

"Woof!"

The firehound clearly didn't like the young two-legged creature's petting.

Acting cute is just one of the techniques for begging for food.

It's normal if you can't get it.

As a well-trained, adult, unmarried male hunting dog, I... am now on my way to guard the house.

The firehound plopped down at the cave entrance.

After showing off for a while with a proud and imposing air, he lowered his head and began licking his own swallow-shaped hairpin.

"Strange...why is there only a data panel?"

Jiang Mo appeared calm and composed.

He was filled with suspicion and doubt.

In his past life, he devoted himself to studying, hoping to turn his life around through knowledge.

But entering university is like stepping into half of society. Just by listening to his roommates talk about games and novels every day, Jiang Mo can understand most of it.

A cheat system... is that all?

Identifying race, bloodline rank, lifespan, attributes, pet class... these functions are certainly useful.

But it doesn't seem to make much difference in terms of becoming stronger, does it?

Jiang Mo was completely baffled.

He had just tried to probe the Firehound by touching it up close, but it still didn't trigger any changes.

A ding-dong sound.

The old man's greeting.

Where is it?

……

"Young master, please prepare your meal."

Ten minutes later, He Zhifeng laid a banana leaf on the rock cutting board and transformed it into a simple dining table.

Strings of sizzling, hot squirrel-shaped roasted meat, golden and crispy, exude a wonderful aroma; just a whiff of it seems to dispel all the chill and fatigue.

"Old Crane, your cooking is amazing! Everything you make tastes delicious."

Smelling the enticing aroma of meat, Jiang Mo's stomach rumbled with hunger. He decided to temporarily set aside all reasoning and suspicion, sit down on the ground, and feed himself first.

"Wait, young master, look at the sky outside."

He Zhifeng suddenly remembered something, stopped Jiang Mo, and asked with a smile:

"The moon is at its zenith, midnight is almost over, and a new day is about to begin."

"Young Master, do you remember what important day tomorrow is?"

Jiang Mo hovered his right hand, which was holding the skewer, as thoughts swirled in his mind. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but sigh softly:

"It's my eighteenth birthday..."

"I didn't expect that you would still be thinking of me under these circumstances, Lao He."

"Haha." He Zhifeng laughed heartily and suddenly pulled out a leaf and stem of a fragrant water chestnut flower: "This is a pure natural spice that burns slowly, making it especially suitable for the current situation."

As he spoke, he stood the leaf stem upright in the middle of the makeshift dining table, then took a spark to ignite it, muttering incantations:

"The old year departs on the wind, a new journey begins on the clouds; this year's hardships will be followed by next year's rosy clouds..."

"Young master, make a wish. Although you can't celebrate your birthday in your hometown this year, the traditional ceremonies must be observed!"

He Zhifeng looked at Jiang Mo with anticipation.

Jiang Mo's throat involuntarily twitched.

Did we add too much firewood?

It's a bit hot.

"Then I'll make a wish."

Jiang Mo closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.

We can't spoil the fun.

But what should I wish for?

No things that are too fake, no things that are too exaggerated.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Mo solemnly recited in his heart:

"Though the road ahead may be difficult, we will persevere!"

May those who remember my homeland enjoy peace and tranquility year after year!

call--

When Jiang Mo reopened her eyes, she blew out the candle made of the leaves and stems of the fragrant water chestnut.

Outside the cave, a full moon hung in the sky, the stars shifted in the darkness, and a new era began.

Countless mysterious characters, like flowing light, swept across Jiang Mo's entire field of vision.
