I'm a male god in Liyue

"I still have a long way to go, and I hope my master will teach me more in the future!"

"Don't be modest. When you graduate, I still need to give you a graduation gift."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment.

"I don't have anything else suitable for you here. You've always liked those kitchen utensils from the [Eternal Spirit Blade], haven't you? I'll give them all to you from now on."

"Eh, really?!"

"Of course, from now on, the kitchen will mainly be yours to take care of. I'm going to be lazy."

"Don't worry, Master!"

Xiangling clenched her fists, her face full of enthusiasm.

As a master, it is perfectly reasonable for disciples to do his work when needed.

Xia Zhi smiled and looked down at the rice crust.

Its platinum progress bar is only at 16%, far from being fully upgraded.

Xia Zhi asked, "Guoba has also learned meditation, right?"

Guoba nodded quickly: "Woo woo!"

Xiangling translates: "Master, Guoba says it has already learned it!"

Xia Zhi can actually understand what Guoba is saying now.

He discovered this strange thing while having dinner tonight.

After the platinum progress bar appeared on Guoba, the effect of [Forest Protection], which allows communication with animals, suddenly took effect on Guoba as well, allowing him to easily understand the whimpering sounds coming from Guoba's mouth.

Since he can understand Guoba's speech, it means that Guoba's current platinum level status has also been classified as an animal by the system.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "That's good."

Guoba shouted again, "Woo woo woo woo!"

Xiangling continued translating: "Guoba also said that meditation method is amazing, thank you!"

Xia Zhi shook his head and smiled, "No need to thank me."

Xiangling looked at Guoba and whispered, "Master, I feel like Guoba seems a little different tonight than usual."

Xia Zhi asked, "Why does it look different?"

Xiangling wasn't quite sure: "It seems like it's become a little smarter."

"really."

"Master thinks so too?"

"I can sense that its strength has recovered somewhat, and its intelligence should have recovered a bit as well."

"No wonder! Is it because of the [God Jumps Over the Wall]? I specially saved some for it tonight, and it ate them all."

"It's somewhat related to that, but not much. The meditation method is the main factor at play."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Xiangling looked at the medicine stove on the table, and became curious about it.

Xia Zhi introduced some techniques to her, and seeing that she seemed very interested, he let her try them out a few times.

While Xiangling was enthusiastically refining medicine, Xia Zhi beckoned to Guoba and said, "Guoba, come over here."

Guoba obediently walked to his feet.

Xia Zhi reached out and patted Guoba's head.

It has already had a bath, and its fur is very soft and feels very comfortable to touch.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"You have encountered a new animal and gained the blessing of the Earth Bear: Strength +1, Constitution +1, Rock Damage +10%, Rock Resistance +10%."

"New animal encountered, all attributes increased by 0.0001%."

The Earth Bear... has gained new blessings and new shapeshifting abilities.

A thoughtful look appeared on Xia Zhi's face as he continued to stroke Guoba's bear head with a smile, while also using his master-level massage techniques.

Guoba couldn't help but let out a comfortable "woo-woo" sound.

From his omniscient perspective, he could see the platinum progress bar hanging on Guoba rapidly increasing.

Sure enough, it takes intimate interactions like feeding and massaging to level up quickly.

Like incense burners, medicine furnaces require the user's mental energy to refine extraordinary items.

Xiangling, being just a mortal with low mental strength, soon felt mentally exhausted and yawned.

Xia Zhi said, "You must be exhausted from cooking tonight. Go home and get some rest early. You can light some calming incense to help you sleep."

Xiangling obediently replied, "Okay, goodnight, Master."

Xia Zhi nodded: "Good night."

Xiangling left with the rice crust.

Xia Zhi opened his inventory, where a platinum treasure chest lay quietly.

Switch interfaces.

Xia Zhi opened the character panel, found [Mori no Mamoru], and clicked on it.

A special list of blessings appeared before his eyes.

Cats, fireflies, magpies...

[Abyssal Poison Dragon], [Crystal Planarian], [Spirit Deer], [Spirit Crane], [Qilin]...

These are records left by animals that Xia Zhi had come into contact with.

He can transform into any of the animals on the list at will.

Xia Zhi looked at the end of the list—it was [Earth Bear].

This is the record left by Guoba just now.

Xia Zhi recalled the words Grandma Ping had once told him: "Thousands of years ago, disasters and diseases afflicted the earth. The Kitchen God no longer appeared frequently, but instead channeled all his power into the land to quell the various calamities. Exhausted, the Kitchen God's wisdom diminished, and his form shrank considerably. When he finally bid farewell to the immortals, he was less than a person's height. He told the Emperor and the True Lord of Gechenlang City about the dishes that bring happiness and the mysteries of the hearth, then went to the mountains and forests, where he slept for a long time."

As the "Bear of the Earth" and possessing the authority of a demon god, this explains why Guoba's divine power could repair the earth's veins.

Although Xia Zhi was somewhat curious, he still did not try to transform himself into the [Earth Bear].

The main problem was the inappropriate setting.

This place is too small.

Its transformed form would probably collapse the entire West Wind Cathedral.

From God's perspective, Xia Zhi shifted his gaze slightly forward, landing on another record—named "Nekomata".

This is a record left by Qi Liangliang a few days ago.

Xia Zhi heard the system notification but didn't pay much attention to it.

I have nothing to do right now, and the panel is open, so I might as well give it a try.

Xia Zhi's thoughts stirred slightly.

A strange power suddenly enveloped his entire body.

He felt his body undergo some changes at that moment.

But there wasn't much change. He was still the same size, neither taller nor shorter, but he felt as if something had appeared on his back.

Xia Zhi turned her head and saw two long, fluffy cat tails.

Their sudden appearance also tore two holes in his pajama pants.

Xia Zhi suddenly understood Diona's troubles a little.

Every time she buys new clothes, she has a conflicted look on her face, and then she has to pick up the scissors and cut a hole in them herself.

Xia Zhi tested the tail.

They are flexible, just like his hands, able to swing left and right according to his thoughts.

Xia Zhi played with the two cat tails that had suddenly appeared for a moment, then turned her head back and looked down at her feet.

Unlike Qi Liangliang, his feet did not develop into the kind of paw-like pads that cats have.

The only thing it has on its body is two obedient tails.

This localized mutation feels different from his previous complete transformation into the [Sky Dragon].

Xia Zhi looked at his attribute panel.

After transforming into [Nekomata], his agility increases by 20 points, and he also gains a buff that reduces stamina consumption by 20% and a special effect that sets the cat's initial affinity to friendly.

No wonder Kira was able to become Komahaya's top deliveryman.

After experiencing the feeling of being a "Nekota," Xia Zhi originally wanted to cancel the transformation state, but after thinking about it, she didn't cancel it and went directly to the next room.

Shen He and Gan Yu were playing Auto Chess together, leaning against the headboard.
