Yuhao had finished eating and was currently going to buy the supplies he needed, Jinghui still perched on his shoulder as he casually walked through the city.
Yuhao was currently considering what Jinghui needed because it was currently stuck at 9999 Years Old and only needed one more push.
Yuhao obviously wouldn't do that here but, he was curious why it was stopped. Although he had a conjecture, he still needs to try prove it when he goes to Star Dou Great Forest. His theory is that, 99 Years, 999 Years and 9999 Years may be a bottleneck of sorts for higher evolution.
His guess is only from Jinghui, so, he needs to try prove it with other Spirit Beasts. Currently, Jinghui grew much larger and had changes due to breaking through to 100 Years and especially at 1000 Years where it became completely different from before.
Yuhao was still playing around with the Entry system as he purchased the necessary supplies and froze mid stride, because he accidentally discovered another function.
He could breakdown entries to turn them into nutrients to increase the rating of any entry, although the amount required is very high. To upgrade a 0 Star to 1 Star, it would need around 20 Entries while normal Fusion would only need 5, although this is still very useful in cases like [Devouring] or [Evolution] entries
Yuhao held back a laugh as he walked away after paying, he considers that he's got enough supplies now and considered leaving the City to go to the Forest.
As he was strolling around, he saw a young child, well, considering that he himself was a child, you should understand how young the other should be.
The child was young, barely looking 6 years old, covered in mud and wearing rags with messy hair that was caked with mud, he couldn't even understand if it was a boy or a girl.
But, that wasn't the reason for Yuhao stopping, because life is cruel, abandoned orphans are common in this World, the reason Yuhao stopped was only one reason.

"You...." Yuhao approached the beggar as he squatted down to be face to face with the now scared and retreating beggar, "What's your name?" Yuhao asked as the beggar had confused and panicked eyes, blabbering.
'...Wait, could it be that he doesn't know to talk?' Yuhao thought to himself after he repeatedly asked but the beggar was still panicked and even more scared.
"Here." Yuhao handed over a piece of dried meat from his bag, one of the supplies he had stocked, Yes, he stored them in his bag, he doesn't have a Storage Soul Tool yet, mainly because the minimum Level 1 Soul Tools themselves cost hundreds of gold coins for one, he only has a few hundred gold coins on hand.
The beggar hesitantly took the food handed and ate it, although it was chewy and not that tasty, he could finally eat, so he was thankful.
"Come with me and you'll never go hungry, what do you think?" Yuhao asked as he stood up, gazing at the beggar, although Yuhao knew the kid wouldn't understand most, he probably understood the intention, the beggar stood up unsteadily and followed behind Yuhao who walked slowly to an Inn.

Looking at the now clean child, Yuhao was stunned because, unlike his assumption, the kid was a girl! A girl!
"....You, do you have a name?" Yuhao asked the black haired, orange eyed child whose face was sunken and her body was mostly skin and bones and wearing a common dress and sandals he'd had the staff bring.
"...Name...?" The girl asked dazed, shaking her head in denial. Yuhao was troubled, he couldn't casually name people, right? He didn't even have enough knowl- wait a second. Yuhao directly accessed the slide and began searching for names and meanings because yes, this had that dor some reason
(System: Of course it does! That thing was my core ripped out and merged to truly become your power by that madman! You half-system guy! - would be the System's response if it wasn't currently going to mess up a certain Enforcement God's plans)
"Huo Ruoxi, your name will be Huo Ruoxi." Yuhao said, using his own surname for her, a name that symbolised a new sudden hope.
Although he was being a bit too much in his opinion, like controlling someone's life, he truly decided to try treat her as one of his own.
"Hold still, I'll help you out a bit." Yuhao said as he placed his hand on her head and she slightly shrunk, wanting to dodge but not dodging and he directly removed the countless grey entries on her and also the suffix of Unawakened....Eh? EH?! I CAN DO THAT?!
Yuhao who had subconsciously tried to divide and remove parts of entries was shocked beyond measure once again as he watched the girl suddenly glow a pale warm green and slowly grow a bit taller and have her face be filled out, her dry hair becoming smooth and her body slowly becoming healthy.
While this was happening, he was currently being bothered by Jinghui, "What? You mean you want my surname too?" Yuhao, who understood, was speechless, what was he doing, creating a huge Family or something?
"Fine, Huo Jinghui...." He agreed as Jinghui finally stopped pulling on his collar and sat obediently and watched Ruoxi who slowly woke up from her temporary sleep due to the comfort of awakening and removing all hidden injuries and malnourishment, this ability of his was truly too unreasonable.
Ruoxi: (O∆o)
Looking at her shocked face, Yuhao felt like laughing but he was pretty sure he was worse at the beginning, so, he wisely kept quiet and handed her proper food which she ate eagerly, seemingly no longer having any fear of him.

Looking at this new Entry, Yuhao was speechless once again, why does it seem like since he got the Editor, his family has been increasing at a high rate? I mean, within two days, he now had Jinghui and Ruoxi.
