95: Talent awakening
Moist, soft, tender, and smooth.
Lin Tianwei, unaware that the world was about to change, was currently sleeping.
Suddenly, in his perception, a creature was running towards him.
Immediately after, he felt something encompassing his ear.
As it continued to lick, it gradually became wet.
This was another small tiger.
A small tiger slightly larger than Lin Tianwei.
If he hadn't detected any killing intent from it, Lin Tianwei would have instantly killed it.
Perhaps because Lin Tianwei had drunk Nana's tiger milk and slept under her, he carried some of Nana's scent.
This caused Taro, one of Nana's cubs, to mistake Lin Tianwei for his brother.
The moment he could move freely, he sought him out.
He began to express his affection for Lin Tianwei in the unique way tigers do.
However, this method of affection was clearly not Lin Tianwei's preferred way.
Opening his mouth, a milky, childish sound came from Lin Tianwei: "Ga?"
Lin Tianwei, whose throat hadn't yet fully developed, could only make such a sound at this time.
To Taro, it was completely harmless.
He continued to diligently lick his "brother."
A tiger doesn't show its might, and you think I'm a sick cat?
Unlike typical weak and powerless tiger cubs, Lin Tianwei possessed immense strength.
With just a gentle push, he sent Taro stumbling and falling to the ground.
Taro looked at Lin Tianwei, who couldn't even open his eyes, with a bewildered expression.
Taro didn't quite understand why his "brother" was so powerful.
However, this harmless attack clearly couldn't deter his enthusiasm for Lin Tianwei.
He immediately pounced again, attempting to rub against Lin Tianwei affectionately once more.
Yet, before Taro could reach Lin Tianwei, he was pushed to the ground again.
Lin Tianwei wouldn't give him a chance to touch him.
After several repetitions, Taro finally gave up on "attacking" Lin Tianwei.
He even looked at Lin Tianwei with a hint of fear in his eyes.
The natural world is inherently a place where the strong prey on the weak.
All creatures instinctively fear those they are powerless to resist.
Even blood brothers are no exception.
"Ding, congratulations to the host. The Talent: Extraordinary Gene (Extraordinary) Reinforcement is complete. Combat power will be significantly increased."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully triggering an extremely low probability event. Through the Talent: Extraordinary Gene (Extraordinary), a new Talent: Danger Perception (Legendary) has been Awakened and automatically activated."
"Danger Perception (Legendary): A Legendary Talent that grants the host the ability to perceive danger."
"Note: The perception effect is influenced by the host's strength, with the greatest bonus from mental attributes."
After a week, Lin Tianwei's Talent: Extraordinary Gene (Extraordinary) was finally fully Reinforced.
While feeling an overall attribute boost, Lin Tianwei also Awakened a new Talent with an extremely low probability.
Its level was the terrifyingly powerful Legendary.
However, this Talent felt both Awakened and not Awakened at all.
With Lin Tianwei's current strength...
Unless humans planned to drag the entire Blue Star down with Lin Tianwei, there was no situation that could pose a threat to him.
Therefore, this Talent was essentially negligible to him.
Sighing, Lin Tianwei quickly let it go.
At least he successfully Awakened a new Talent; even a bad one was better than failing to Awaken one.
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei gulped down his dinner for the day and looked towards the gate.
Although only a short week had passed, under the influence of Lin Tianwei's powerful Talent, he had already developed significantly.
He had even grown four sharp milk teeth, enough to easily tear through the bodies of most prey.
His formidable strength gave Lin Tianwei some new ideas, and he began to ponder where he should forage for food tonight.
Relying solely on the food provided by the Zoo, Lin Tianwei would likely not reach adulthood until the year of the monkey and horse.
That little bit of milk?
For Lin Tianwei, it wasn't even enough to get stuck in his teeth, so it was no wonder he planned to be self-sufficient.
Perhaps they hadn't expected a small tiger to have so many mischievous thoughts.
Coupled with the fact that tiger cubs are basically harmless, the security measures in this room were very poor.
As long as he avoided the not-so-dense surveillance, Lin Tianwei could do as he pleased.
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei slapped Taro away again as he tried to get close.
This little guy was persistent, always trying to get affectionate with Lin Tianwei whenever he had a chance.
He had practically become Lin Tianwei's shadow tiger.
Of course, he would only be met with Lin Tianwei's merciless slaps.
He couldn't be bothered with such a worthless creature.
Not delivering a fatal blow was already considered holding back.
Stealth Talent activated!
Taking advantage of the surveillance camera's rotation, Lin Tianwei vanished from its view.
It was just a small tiger; no one would be watching it twenty-four hours a day.
Lin Tianwei had enough time to carry out his plan.
Thinking this, he walked towards the door.
A simple, primitive lock?
Such a thing could never trap Lin Tianwei.
With a light leap, Lin Tianwei jumped onto the door lock.
With a simple twist, the door lock was easily opened by Lin Tianwei.
Using his tail for support, Lin Tianwei pushed the door open a crack.
With his Flexibility Talent, opening a door was an incredibly simple task for him.
Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei quickly squeezed through the door crack.
The surveillance cameras rotated quickly; he had to cherish every second.
Finally, with Lin Tianwei's efforts, he completely left the crude room before the camera rotated back.
He had arrived in the colorful world outside.
Looking at the lush vegetation outside the room, Lin Tianwei shook his head.
Although these plants were the easiest food to obtain at the moment, Lin Tianwei felt that as the king of the forest, he should act like one.
Eating grass was out of the question; he could only reluctantly eat some meat to sustain himself.
Even if he needed a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, he would seek out some delicious rare plants, not eat the common weeds everywhere.
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei opened his mouth.
With the aid of his vomeronasal organ, Lin Tianwei quickly detected countless scents.
What attracted him most was the unique aroma of prey.
This was a Zoo, with countless delicious foods.
Genetically stable foods that wouldn't cause Lin Tianwei to mutate for no reason.
Unfortunately, although Lin Tianwei had the ability to hunt them, he didn't want to create too much commotion and expose himself to the public eye before reaching adulthood.
After some thought, Lin Tianwei abandoned these tempting foods and opted for something more ordinary.
He quickly walked towards the room on the right.
According to his sense of smell, there was a lot of food there, enough for him to have a full meal.
Soon, Lin Tianwei arrived before a wooden door.
Perhaps not expecting any uninvited guests, the door here wasn't even locked.
With the aid of his Stealth Talent, Lin Tianwei walked right in under the noses of the Zoo staff.
He quickly found his target.
It was a small mountain of stacked white cut chicken!
Undoubtedly, this was the slaughterhouse that provided food for the entire Zoo, and it was Lin Tianwei's paradise!
