However, Pan Liang had already turned over and closed his eyes, no longer paying any attention to Shirley.
Even so, Shirley was still excited. “How amazing it was to be able to kill so many monsters that were above Level 20.”
Pan Liang smiled internally. “You’ll be considered brilliant only if you can kill monsters that were above Level 20 on your own.”
At this moment, Pan Liang was fully immersed in the system because he realized that he had also gained an Experience Point after Shirley killed the monsters.
He had actually risen from Level 5 to Level 10 due to the great number of Experience Points he had obtained.
“System, what’s going on? Why did I level up by five levels when Shirley killed the monsters?”
[The host has been bound to the contract owner. After the contract owner kills a monster, their familiar will also receive an Experience Point. The contract owner will also receive an Experience Point that is 20% higher than the familiar’s..]
“Hoho. In this case, I should nurture Shirley more, shouldn’t I? Shirley, oh, Shirley, you can’t blame me for making you deal with monsters in the future. This is what the system told me to do. You can blame the system.”
Just then, Shirley’s excitement had subsided a little. She began to use her dagger to deal with the two giant wolves’ corpses.
The giant wolves’ fur, fangs, and claws were all top-quality materials, which could be sold in the city.
If the wolf meat had been easy to store, Shirley would have planned on bringing the wolf meat to the city to sell.
After all, Shirley had been poor ever since she was born. She no longer wanted to live a life where she had to starve.
“Look, Pan Liang. The claws of these giant wolves above Level 20 can be sold for at least 100 gold coins for four pieces. Also, the complete wolf skin can be sold for more than 100 gold coins. However, with so many wounds on the wolves’ bodies, I’m afraid the price won’t be too high.
“The wolves’ claws, fangs, and skin can be sold for about 400 gold coins altogether.
“When the time comes, I’ll go to the city to awaken my skills. You have to come with me.
“Familiars can also awaken their skills. If you can awaken powerful skills, you can fight alongside me.”
Upon learning that familiars could also awaken their skills, Pan Liang turned over and looked at Shirley.
“Explain to me how familiars can also awaken skills.”
Shirley placed the wolves’ parts behind the carriage before she turned around to explain to Pan Liang.
“Since you’re a real human, you can awaken like how a contract owner does.
“You can awaken once every ten levels. What’s your level now?”
Afraid of being captured to become a coolie, Pan Liang decided not to tell her what his level was for the time being. He was not very interested in the Awakening Skill anyway.
Having the system as his powerful tool, he did not need to awaken any more skills.
He just needed a bit more luck the next time he joined the lucky draw. That would be stronger than the Awakening Skill, was it not?
Thus, he said to Shirley, “I’m only at Level 5 now, so I’m still far from awakening. There’s no rush. You can awaken first.”
Since his next destination was the city, it meant that he would be able to meet more people. Currently, Pan Liang was thinking about how to earn more Grievance Points when he arrived in the city.
Shirley’s eyes lit up as she looked at wolves’ parts. “When we arrive in the city, I’ll treat you to a delicious meal.”
Pan Liang asked faintly, “What are you going to treat me to by then?”
“Well…” Shirley thought for a moment before she replied, “I’ll treat you to bread, steak, and beer.”
Her answer made Pan Liang stunned for a moment. It turned out that these few kinds of food were considered a big meal to her.
“When we get together in the future, I’ll let you try something even more delicious than these.”
After hearing what he said, Shirley froze for a moment, and her face turned red. “What are you saying? I’m going to ignore you.”
Pan Liang realized that he had said something wrong. It was too flirtatious for a man to say such a thing to a woman.
Shirley continued to drive the carriage. Looking at the sky, she reckoned that she would not be able to reach the city before dark.
By the time the city was in sight, the sun was about to set.
Shirley found a place that was suitable for rest.
“I’m happy today, so I’ll treat you to roasted wolf meat.”
After lying the whole day, Pan Liang noticed that his Experience Bar had increased by a chunk, so he got up for a walk.
He stood behind Shirley and watched her roast the wolf meat. Then, he sat down next to her and searched for something in the exchange store of the system.
“Since having steak and beer in a meal is considered a feast for her, I’ll satisfy her today.
“Well, I can’t bring them out all at once. I’ll give her some beer first and upgrade the barbecue seasoning later.”
Pan Liang took out a bottle of special barbecue seasoning and a dozen beers.
“Shirley, come and take a look at this.”
Seeing that Pan Liang took out something, Shirley curiously came over to see what it was.
“Wow, you have a treasure that can store things, don’t you? Show it to me.”
Pan Liang shook his head. “How can I show it to you randomly? I have better seasoning here. Do you want to try it?”
When Shirley heard that he had better seasoning, her eyes immediately twinkled.
“I want it. Let me see.”
Pan Liang handed the small bottle to her. Shirley looked at the bottle and found that it was no different from the previous one. She could not help but doubt it.
“Your bottle looks the same as the previous one. Could they be the same thing?”
Pan Liang seemed speechless. “I made all this myself. Do you expect me to use different bottles merely to distinguish between different types of seasoning?
“You’ll know when you smell it.”
Shirley put the bottle in front of her nose and sniffed carefully. “Wow, this smells so good. How many spices are there?”
“How would I know? I forgot, but there are at least dozens of them.”
Shirley carefully tasted the spices. “Oh my God, there’s salt in it. I don’t see any salt at all. How was such fine salt made?”
“Why do you care so much? As long as I’m here, all you have to do is eat. Don’t bother about anything else. Oh, hang on. You still have to cook.”
Given that Shirley had gotten the perks, she would not reject the task.
Soon, the barbecue was ready. Pan Liang reached out to take the barbecue, but Shirley instinctively guarded it to prevent him from getting it.
She even bared her teeth at him.
“Wow, you look so cute, just like the puppy I used to rear. It also knew how to guard its food. But it became obedient after I beat it up.”
