After casually brushing off the Light Beast, Ren silently immersed his consciousness into his inner world.
The White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings still granted ten draws, just like the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet.
Following that was Albion's soul.
[Detected the soul within the White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings. Host has the following options:]
[Option 1: Convert into a 100% dragon-attribute pet draw, with a power floor equal to the current peak strength of the White Dragon Emperor.]
[Option 2: Convert into dragon-attribute food crystals equal in strength to the White Dragon Emperor's peak.]
[Option 3: Convert into ten draw chances.]
Ren fell into a brief silence as he looked at the options.
Even though the Divine Dividing already gave ten draws, which was a decent gain, thinking about his current food stock made him hesitate.
Fou and Kuroka's food needs weren't urgent—thanks to the Lucemon's light-attribute crystals. He didn't need to worry too much.
But now that he had Ophis at home too, it meant one more mouth competing for food with Examon.
In this situation, Ren really had to think it through.
Frowning slightly, Ren glanced at Ophis and Examon beside him and silently pressed the third option.
[Congratulations, Host has received ten draw chances.]
To be honest, unless he was drawing pets, spending resources just to draw food wasn't worth it.
The mega wheel obviously had lower odds for pets, higher for food, and then some strange miscellaneous items. Ren hadn't drawn them before, but that didn't mean they didn't exist.
He might even draw skill cards or pet weapons—it wasn't impossible.
All of those were definitely useful in the pet-raising process.
It's just like a gacha mobile game. Your odds of pulling support cards are always higher than getting character cards.
"So that makes twenty draws now… Alright, let's start a batch!"
Looking at everyone lounging around casually, Ren muttered to himself.
After all, no matter what world you're in, you're not busy 24/7.
Just like right now: Koneko were probably in school, Kuroka had likely been exhausted by Lucemon and was now sleeping in Ren's arms in her cat form, and the Lucemon had dragged Ophis outside for sparring—no doubt ending in Ophis getting beat up.
Ren decided that once Ophis returned, he'd console the poor girl. Just look at what she was being put through.
Asia was happily chatting with Mittelt and Kalawarna, as if she'd forgotten all the grudges from the church incident. Fou yawned and glanced at Ren, wondering whether she should go out for a walk.
Examon was still curled up in the corner. Most people wouldn't even notice its presence.
Poor thing—ever since arriving in this world, it'd been like an isolated child, unable to express itself and just shrinking into the corner.
[Congratulations, Host received a blue-tier reward: a bag of premium dog food.]
[Congratulations, Host received a blue-tier reward: a special cat food.]
…
Unsurprisingly, unless your luck was EX-tier, you were bound to hit a few duds.
Just like now—twenty pulls were bound to have some filler.
Those could be ignored. What Ren cared about were the truly worthwhile items.
[Congratulations, Host received a purple-tier reward: a bag of Dragon Bloodline Enhancement Crystals.]
Ren raised an eyebrow. Come to think of it, would this kind of item be useful for a digital lifeform like Examon?
Even while mentally grumbling, Ren still planned to give it to Examon after it finished its current food supply.
As for Ophis… obviously he'd wait until she was fully convinced and loyal before handing anything over.
Blue-tier rewards had minimal boost—even tenfold feedback didn't impress Ren anymore.
But specialized items like this, once enhanced, would yield significant returns. Giving it away prematurely would just be a waste.
Ren thought it best to wait until Ophis willingly formed a contract with him.
With that, Ren quietly stashed all the drawn items into his system space.
[Congratulations, Host received an orange-tier reward: One of the Seven Crowns of Sin – Crown of Envy.]
[Congratulations, Host received a special purple-tier reward: Nekomata Bloodline Crystal Blueprint.]
[Congratulations, Host received a special purple-tier reward: True Ancestor Bloodline Crystal Blueprint.]
[Limited-time pet nurturing feature activated. World travel function unlocked...]
Ren's eyes lit up instantly, a hint of excitement surfacing on his face.
Finally, something interesting had arrived.
He had been thinking—getting food from the system every day was really getting boring.
And now, there was a new feature being unlocked, especially the world-traveling function… This was really—
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ren turned his gaze to the Crown of Envy and waved at Fou.
Fou paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
Even though there was a chance Ren would just use her as a tool, she still walked over.
Maybe it was something good… In Fou's eyes, Ren was like a treasure pouch filled with all kinds of wonders.
Although she didn't care much about her own strength—after all, wasn't living leisurely like this better? Why care so much about power?—what left her helpless was… all the food tasted too good.
It had to be said—enjoying life was the most important thing for Fou.
"Meow~~?"
Sensing Fou's approach, the resting Kuroka slowly opened her eyelids.
Fou's figure entered her field of view, and a question mark instantly popped into Kuroka's mind.
Then, under Kuroka's bewildered gaze, a strange crown-like object seemed to faintly appear above Fou's head.
Immediately after, an incredibly dangerous aura surged into Fou's body—so intense that it nearly made Kuroka's fur bristle.
"Fuuu~~~~"
A voice of pleasure slowly came from Fou's mouth.
Feeling the power within herself, Fou blinked.
She realized that while she had still been in a magic-recovery phase, now she seemed to have returned to her peak—no, even surpassed it, as the energy she had been absorbing had completely rebounded into her, pushing her beyond her past self.
Originally, she could only recover magic by absorbing the "envy" in others through physical contact, but now, as long as she wanted to, she could absorb envy from people across entire nations using her Crow of Envy, empowering herself. Moreover, her Principle of Comparison had evolved even further.
Kuroka: "???"
I took a nap, and this girl powered up again?
Thinking that, Kuroka wagged her tail and looked up at Ren on her head, her eyes shimmering with expectation.
"Meow meow meow…"
Ren: "…"
Kuroka, don't tell me you've completely accepted yourself as a pet cat?
