115: Feeding the baby unicorn
Chu Yixing looked at the three small words "Evolvable" on the panel, and for a moment he was shocked. Divine Beasts were already the highest quality known pets. What quality would it be if it evolved further?
[Pet captured, forcing exit from Instance, 3, 2, 1...]
The system didn't care about Chu Yixing's thoughts and teleported him out of the Instance.
Chu Yixing appeared at the entrance of the Instance and, before he could fully recover, was surrounded.
"Is this the Divine Beast Qilin?"
"Why does it look about the same size as a pony?"
"It looks sickly. Quickly ask Chu Yixing what it eats. I want to feed it. It's so cute."
...A cacophony of discussions revolved around the Qilin Cub Chu Yixing held in his arms.
After a period of discussion, the academy's leaders finally turned their attention to Chu Yixing.
The dean patted Chu Yixing's shoulder and praised, "As expected of the Dual Uniques talent. Since the old dean disappeared, no Qilin has been born again. You must cultivate it well. If you lack anything, just tell me, and the academy will fully cooperate."
"Thank you, Dean, I will."
Chu Yixing nodded.
"Is it injured? It looks so weak."
A female instructor asked.
"I don't know what it eats either; it only says it needs treasures for nourishment."
Chu Yixing politely answered the questions from the instructors.
After understanding the basic situation, the academy leaders finally let Chu Yixing go.
Chu Yixing quickly returned to his dorm; he wanted to research the Little Qilin's leveling.
Walking into the dorm, Chu Yixing shivered, stared at by the unblinking eyes of his three roommates.
"You guys, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that; it's creepy."
"Old Chu, a Divine Beast, I'm so envious and jealous! Ahhhhhhβ"
"A Qilin, a mythical auspicious beast, said to bring good luck. Is it true?"
"Where's the Divine Beast? Don't tell me the Divine Beast is this withered thing in your hand!"
The three roommates could no longer hold back, a flurry of words spilling out at once.
"This one in my hand is the Qilin, and it can indeed increase luck."
Chu Yixing briefly answered his three roommates' questions, then separated from them and returned to his own room.
Chu Yixing placed the little fellow on the bed. The Little Qilin lifted its eyelids for a glance, then closed them again.
Chu Yixing twitched the corner of his mouth, said nothing, but opened the academy panel, went to the exchange, searched for pet-related items, and saw a dazzling array of pet supplies.
Chu Yixing looked, bought a bag of pet food with his academic credits, then took it out of his inventory, opened it, and placed it near the Little Qilin's mouth.
The Little Qilin opened its eyes, sniffed with its tiny nose, showed a look of disdain, but still ate little by little.
The Little Qilin was, after all, a cub, with a small appetite, and stopped after eating about a quarter of the bag.
While the Little Qilin was eating, Chu Yixing bought biscuits, dried fish, and other small snacks and put them in his backpack.
Seeing the Little Qilin stop, Chu Yixing put away the pet food. He saw an experience pill in his backpack, had a sudden idea, took one out, and placed it in front of the Little Qilin.
The Little Qilin's eyes snapped open. Its nose vigorously sniffed the experience pill, then it swallowed it in one gulp, as if afraid Chu Yixing would change his mind.
Chu Yixing smiled helplessly, then opened the pet panel again, wanting to see if the experience pill was useful for pet leveling.

Chu Yixing looked at the panel; the experience pill was also useful for pets, which was good news.
Secondly, after the Little Qilin leveled up, values for [Physical Attack], [Magic Attack], and [Speed] appeared, and an additional [Skill] was added. It currently gained a new active skill, a fire-attribute skill, with very high damage.
Moreover, the growth value he was most concerned about increased by one point.
Chu Yixing looked at the Little Qilin's condition; it was still listless. In this state, no matter how high its attributes were, it couldn't participate in battle.
Chu Yixing thought for a moment, then reluctantly took out a drop of Nine-Turn Jade Dew.
Before Chu Yixing could even call the Little Qilin, the Little Qilin had already swiftly brought its mouth over, stretched its head, and rolled the Nine-Turn Jade Dew into its mouth.
The Little Qilin's body emitted a faint white light, and its complexion visibly improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it hadn't reached a state of vibrant health, it was at least no longer on the verge of death.
Chu Yixing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the panel.
[Affection: 45 (Newly Acquainted / Curious)]
[HP: 3000 / 5120]
[Spirit Power: 3000 / 5120]
Affection increased by 30 points; it was no longer afraid of him but had become curious. Both HP and Spirit Power recovered to over half, and its status was no longer extremely weak.
[Current Status: Moderately weak, still requires treasures for nourishment and recovery.]
Chu Yixing looked at the Little Qilin, which was no longer very afraid of him. He beckoned, and the Little Qilin indeed no longer resisted him, leaning closer to him, sitting properly beside him, tilting its head to look at him, its golden eyes full of curiosity.
Chu Yixing stroked its head, thinking about its future dwelling. He wondered if there was a pet space.
Chu Yixing re-examined the system panel but did not find a pet space.
Chu Yixing thought for a moment and prepared to make a temporary small bed for the Little Qilin on the floor next to his bed using a quilt.
