Leon’s first sleep after transmigrating was not peaceful.
Half-asleep and half-awake, he felt as if he had returned to his original world again.
The annoying boss was still falsely accusing him of breaking the company’s computer and wanting to deduct his salary, making Leon feel stuffy in the chest…
“Mmm…”
“Mmm?”
In the dream, Leon was just about to argue with the boss for three hundred rounds when he groggily felt something round bounce against his chest.
Confused, he barely opened a slit of his eyes.
“What is that?”
In the next moment, he suddenly woke up and jumped straight off the bed.
That round thing was precisely the Digi-Egg Leon had obtained from opening boxes yesterday!
At this moment, the middle of the Digi-Egg had already cracked open halfway, and from inside squeezed out a dark little chubby face.
Two round golden eyes were staring directly at him.
(.?_?.)
“Ah!”
Leon was startled badly.
Along with his shout, the white Digi-Egg rolled toward the edge of the bed with a rumble.
With a crack, the eggshell shattered, and a black little fuzzball suddenly rushed out from inside, shooting beneath Leon’s bed with a whoosh.
“Ah…”
Leon finally reacted.
Looking at the Digi-Egg shell split into two halves before him, it seemed the hatching time had already arrived.
He hurriedly climbed off the bed and searched around with a flashlight for a long time.
Finally, in the corner beneath the bed, he found a black fuzzball trembling nonstop.
It was a fluffy round ball.
Its entire body was black.
The two cat-like ears on its head were curled together, and its two golden eyes were tightly shut at this moment.
Its whole body trembled as if it was extremely afraid.
(>﹏<.)
“Don’t be scared, I’m not a bad person.
Come out…”
Leon carefully extended his hand toward the little fuzzball.
Just as his hand was about to touch it, the black fuzzball’s body suddenly trembled before it opened its mouth and spat out a large number of bubbles!
Gurgle gurgle!
These bubbles directly forced Leon out from under the bed.
Because of the panic, Leon’s head slammed into the bed frame, causing his expression to twist in pain.
“Ow!”
Leon rubbed the spot on his head that hurt from the collision.
This little fellow’s vigilance was pretty strong…
After rummaging around the room for several minutes, Leon returned beneath the bed once again, but this time there was an extra small piece of leftover chocolate in his hand.
“Little fellow, you’re hungry, right?”
(???)
The black fuzzball cautiously looked at Leon and then at the chocolate, but did not move immediately.
“Then I’ll place the chocolate here.
You can walk over and eat it yourself.”
Leon placed the chocolate on the ground not far in front of the little fuzzball and softly said.
Then, he quietly retreated into the darkness and even turned off the flashlight.
After Leon retreated, the black fuzzball remained extremely alert at first, continuously observing Leon and the chocolate on the ground carefully.
After quite a while, seemingly confirming the chocolate was edible, it cautiously moved forward a few steps, sniffed it, and finally swallowed the chocolate in one bite!
It worked!
Leon’s eyes lit up as he quickly took out another piece of chocolate.
“Do you like it?” Leon retreated a little farther back.
“I still have more here.”
Under Leon’s temptation, the black fuzzball gradually lowered its guard.
Very quickly, it swallowed the second piece of chocolate too, even happily wagging its ears afterward.
“Come on, I still have more here.”
Leon took several large steps backward.
This time, he placed the chocolate outside the bed.
The black fuzzball originally intended to go eat it, but it quickly discovered there was no cover there anymore and instantly hesitated again.
However, very soon,
it twitched its tiny nose before suddenly darting out, intending to eat the chocolate outside.Seizing this opportunity, Leon grabbed it in one motion!
ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜
The black fuzzball instantly struggled desperately, spitting countless bubbles from its mouth!
These bubbles flew past Leon’s face.
Some exploded against his body, but they were all soft and fluffy, causing absolutely no damage.
The densely packed black beast fur on the black fuzzball’s body also poked against Leon’s hands, yet it only made him feel that it was fluffy and had a very nice touch.
Leon held the constantly wriggling little fuzzball with one hand while opening the Digivice with the other.
Sure enough, a new Digimon information panel had already updated:
[Name: Botamon]
[Type: Slime]
[Stage: Fresh]
[Attribute: Vaccine]
[Growth Value: 5/100]
[Special Move: Bubble Blow]
Huh?
Leon still remembered what Mirei had previously said.
Digimon evolution was related to Growth Value.
Only when Botamon’s Growth Value reached 100 could it evolve into Koromon.
Leon looked toward his arms.
He saw that Botamon was continuously struggling, but it did not seem like it wanted to break free from Leon.
Instead, it was because of…
Following Botamon’s gaze, Leon looked toward the remaining half piece of chocolate in his hand.
Could it be because he fed it food?
Thinking this, Leon immediately tried handing the remaining chocolate over.
Sure enough, Botamon had originally been struggling fiercely, but the moment it saw the chocolate, it immediately opened its mouth wide and swallowed the chocolate in one bite.
Afterward, it stopped struggling and even revealed a satisfied little expression, rubbing its face against Leon’s hand.
(?ˉ?ˉ?)
And its Growth Value also increased from 5 directly to 10.
So that was how it worked.
Leon’s eyes instantly lit up.
A large piece of chocolate could increase 10 Growth Value,
which meant that as long as he fed Botamon twenty pieces of chocolate, he could make it evolve!However, after Botamon ate a few more bites, it seemed to become full and absolutely refused to eat anymore.
“Alright then…”
That made sense too.
How could Growth Value possibly be maxed out so easily?
At that moment, Botamon suddenly struggled twice more, jumped out from Leon’s arms, and leaped behind the sofa with a splat.
An incomparably serious expression also appeared on its face.
(..??_??..)
“Wait, what are you trying to do?!”
Leon suddenly had a bad premonition.
But he was still one step too slow.
By the time he reacted and rushed over to pick up Botamon, there was already a fresh, black, indescribable object on the floor…
I…
Damn you!
Ten thousand alpacas galloped through Leon’s heart.
After hesitating painfully for several seconds, he still chose to hold his breath and clean up the floor first.
After cleaning up, Leon originally wanted to scold Botamon a little, but the moment he turned around, he saw the little fellow curiously bouncing around on the sofa, its round golden eyes staring directly at him, causing his heart to soften once again.
Sigh, forget it.
At worst, he could just buy cat litter later.
Leon thought speechlessly.
Was he going to become a poop scooper from now on?
And…
He looked at his pockets cleaner than his face, then at the wallet with only a few coins inside.
There would be many places to spend money in the future, and the Digimon System’s DigiCoins also required spending money.
It seemed he needed to think of a way to make money as quickly as possible.
After all, once the child grew up, it would be swallowing money every single day!
