The next day.

Shen An opened his eyes.

The absurd dream from last night was still echoing in his mind.

"What a ghost dream."

"Is it because I was too tired from working overtime last night?"

He shook his head, trying to get rid of those weird images.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of an unusual figure on the bedside table, and he turned his head abruptly to see -

"My old swan!"

The little tentacle monster was not small at all, this guy had grown to half a person's height.

It was squatting on the bedside table like a giant octopus, and the big scarlet eyes stared at him straight.

As if saying: "Good morning, master~"

Shen An almost jumped out of bed.

"System! System, come out! What's going on?!"

The system slowly emerged, with a teasing tone:

"Hey, host, what's the fuss?"

"Fuss?"

Shen An pointed at the huge tentacle monster.

"You call this a fuss? It was a small thing the size of a palm yesterday, and today it has become half a person's height! Is this a normal growth rate?"

The system smiled and replied:

"Host, isn't it normal to grow up? Look how cute it is, how healing~"

"Healing? It looks like it wants to eat me for breakfast now!"

"Oh."

The system continued to tease.

"Maybe it just wants to give you a good morning kiss~"

"Good morning kiss your head!"

The system replied leisurely:

"Don't worry, host. Haven't you always wanted to have a pet? Now you have a unique big pet, right? How great~"

Shen An looked at the tentacle monster speechlessly.

It seemed to feel the owner's gaze.

It stretched out a tentacle and gently touched Shen An's face, as if to soothe his emotions.

"Okay, okay."

"But if it grows bigger, my house won't be able to accommodate it."

The system laughed even more happily:

"Isn't that better? Then you can ride it to work, and it will be more comfortable than squeezing into the subway~"

"Your wicked system only knows how to make fun of me."

Shen An glanced at his phone.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late!"

He hurriedly put on his clothes, glancing at the huge tentacle monster while putting on his shirt.

It was following Shen An's every move with curious eyes.

"Uh... you shouldn't be hungry, right?"

Shen An asked somewhat embarrassedly.

The tentacle monster tilted its head and stretched out a tentacle to point in the direction of the kitchen.

Shen An suddenly realized.

"There are still a few buckets of instant noodles in the refrigerator."

He took out a few buckets of instant noodles from the refrigerator and put them on the table.

Just as he was about to find a kettle, the tentacle monster suddenly stretched out a few tentacles.

He picked up a bucket of instant noodles skillfully and tore open the package easily.

Then he turned on the switch of the electric kettle with another tentacle.

"Well, it seems that I was overthinking."

Shen An breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you can eat at home by yourself. I have to go to work quickly."

He quickly grabbed the briefcase and rushed to the door.

Suddenly, he remembered something and turned to the tentacle monster and said:

"By the way, you have to be good and don't tear down the house."

The tentacle monster saluted with its tentacles.

Shen An couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, I'll leave then. You stay at home and look after the house."

He opened the door and looked back at the tentacle monster.

It had already poured hot water into the instant noodles skillfully.

Then it covered the lid with its tentacles, and its movements were smooth and flowing.

It was more skilled than Shen An's own instant noodles.

"This guy... is really getting smarter."

Shen An closed the door and ran to the subway station.
