Chapter 10: Watching His Host's Savage Way of Feeding

Lan Ke's tone was firm: "Babao, tell me quickly, how could I successfully let this seed recognize me as its master?"

Babao saw that persuasion was useless, so he had to honestly confess: "There's a contract card in the system's shopping center. If you want the heaven devouring vine seed to recognize you as its master, you must buy a contract card. The heaven devouring vine is ferocious and bloodthirsty, as well as its seed. If you directly drop your blood on the seed without the contract card, it will immediately go mad after being stimulated and suck you dry."

"Suck me dry?" Lan Ke took a breath of cold air in shock. Although she has experienced all kinds of crises and has seen a lot of terrible scenes after the end of the world but when she suddenly hears that she will be sucked dry by that little heaven devouring vine seed once the recognition of its master was done in a wrong way, she still feels cold.

She was not afraid of death, but such a kind way of dying is too terrifying and disgusting!

"I'm going to buy a contract card now!" After she had set her mind, Lan Ke immediately opened the system's shopping center to find the contract card. After searching for a while, she found the contract card in the item column.

There are three types of contract cards: primary, intermediate and advanced. However, even the cheapest primary contract card costs 5,000 transaction points! The intermediate and advanced contract cards are even more expensive.

Lan Ke felt a little dizzy when she looked at the price. It was indeed the system's shopping center. The prices are too expensive!

She worked hard for several days, but she merely earned a little over 5,000 trading points and could only buy the primary contract card.

"Babao, is that okay if I buy the primary contract card?" Lan Ke asked a little nervously. If the primary one doesn't work, she'll forget thinking of making a contract with the heaven devouring vine seed in the meantime.

"Don't worry about it host, the primary is also pretty good. Although the heaven devouring vine is ferocious, after all, you're only trying to make a contract with a fundamentally weak seed, so there's no need to use the much higher intermediate contract."

Babao's words made Lan Ke heaved a sigh of relief, but she still didn't buy it right away. Instead, she went to private shops to try her luck. It's a pity that her luck is obviously bad, because contract cards are only sold in the system's shopping center.

After struggling for a long time, Lan Ke gritted her teeth and bought the primary contract card that cost 5,000 trading points.

Lan Ke held the contract card and scrutinized it over and over again. She couldn't fathom, so she could only ask Babao: "What now? How can I use this card?"

Babao: "It's very simple. Put the seed of the heaven devouring vine at the front center of the contract card, and then host, drop your blood on the seed."

When Lan Ke heard these words, she immediately turned the contract card upside down and carefully placed the seed of the heaven devouring vine on the front center of the card, and then nervously took out a small knife. She gently scratched her fingertips and squeezed a drop of blood onto the seed.

The crimson blood dripped on the seed, then slowly slid down, soaking the contract card. Immediately afterwards, Lan Ke saw that the originally crumpled seed had become plump at a speed visible to the naked eye after absorbing her blood.

Seeing that the seed was getting more and more plump, Lan Ke doesn't know why, but a sudden strong anxiety arose in her heart! At this moment, the seed trembled and suddenly went to Lan Ke's wound like lightning! Meanwhile, the contract card that hadn't responded suddenly shined and the seed was firmly locked on its position!

Lan Ke watched this scene nervously and without blinking. She then saw runes suddenly emerge from the contract card, continuously going into the seed until all the runes had been absorbed and a green light suddenly appeared on the seed that had become rich and plumped, shooting straight into the space between Lan ke's brows!

Lan Ke instinctively wanted to avoid, but she heard Babao say: "Host, do not move! That's the master-servant contract!"

Lan Ke remained motionless, letting the green light sink into the center of her eyebrows. She only felt cold between her brows and then there was something in her mind. She carefully "looked" and it turned out to be the small green light that was projected from the heaven devouring vine seed.

Lan Ke thought it was magical and she suddenly "saw" a crack in the green light, and then a thin bean sprout stretched out.

The next moment, there was a flower in front of her and when she took a closer look, what she saw was the seed of the heaven devouring vine in reality. No, it's not a seed anymore, but a small bean sprout, exactly the same as what she "saw" in her mind just now!

The two green round leaf petals are opposite to each other, and they are very chubby and cute. Underneath was a short stem and under the stem was a short and thin root. The stem and root are all translucent green, which looks crystal clear, crisp and lovely, as if you can pinch water by just a single pinch.

Lan Ke looked at this very fragile little bean sprout in astonishment. It's hard to imagine that this thing was actually a sprout of a ferocious and bloodthirsty vine!

"Babao, are you sure this is the heaven devouring vine? You didn't make a mistake, did you?" It's not like Lan Ke was doubting it, but this little thing is so cute and seemingly not ferocious at all!

But at this moment, she suddenly heard a weak voice: "Hungry! Hungry! Eat! Eat! Master… Rich Master! Hungry!"

Lan Ke was silent: "..." Well, now she believes that this was indeed a sprout of the heaven devouring vine. Apart from knowing that this was a heaven devouring vine sprout, she really couldn't think that this bean sprout is very ferocious!

"Babao, what does it eat?" Lan Ke asked Babao curiously. After thinking about it, she pointed at the bean sprout and said, "Remember, you will be called Douya from now on and I am your master. You only have to listen to me, you got that?"

"Oh right, where's the contract card? And its seed coat? Why are they missing?" Lan Ke looked for them, but didn't find these two things.

"Oh, it's been eaten by it." Babao spread his wings with a helpless expression. "I told you, we should've sold it to the center, but you wouldn't listen. It's all good now. By the way, although the heaven devouring vine can do anything but eat, it’s still small now, so it’s best not to let it eat too much flesh and blood, or else it will foster its ferocity."

"I understand." Lan Ke thought for a while and felt that this was probably the same reason that animals would become more ferocious when eating raw meat. Thus, she simply took an apple and put it in front of Douya, "Let's try to see if you could eat this."

Babao was dumbfounded, thinking that the host he encountered was an oddball! Even if you don’t let Douya eat flesh and blood, you couldn't possibly let it eat apples, right? How could the heaven devouring vine eat fruit!

"Host, it doesn't eat apples."

"How could that be? Look at how happy it is eating the apple!"

With a glance, Babao's eyeballs almost fall out of their sockets! Is this really a sprout of heaven devouring vine and not some genetic mutation? Can you be a little more mature!

He saw Douya standing on top of the apple and its thin root pierced into the apple's flesh, as if they were growing from the apple itself. Then, the originally hydrated and plump apple shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end, only a wrinkled skin and a shriveled apple core were left.

The more Babao looked, the more dumbfounded he was. The apple was really eaten clean and there wasn't even a single waste!

Babao suddenly became a little worried. Wouldn't this heaven devouring vine sprout be raised into a freak by Lan Ke? Why does he feel more upset the more he thinks about it?

"Stop being in a daze, it's time to do work." Lan Ke suddenly laughed at this time. Tang Jing Tian should've known about her selling her shares, right?
