It’s been almost another half month since Will picked up the bunny, whom he had named Professor Bun-Bun after a certain “stacked” teacher…

Obviously there was no chance of anything happening, since Professor Bun-Bun was certainly male. Will had read enough biology books to know what he was talking about. Plus he couldn’t see any err… milk dispensers, so by gender elimination, it could only be male. Besides, female rabbits needed a hell lot of those things, with them always having massive litters of newborns and all.

Back in his past life, Will used to have a habit, something he called “Milking”. In fact, he used to “Milk” himself three times a day.. everyday.

Now he put the time he used to “Milk” himself into trying to put a minion contract on Professor Bun-Bun. Everyday in the morning, Will would pour as much of his mana into Professor Bun-Bun’s body as possible. This would repeat two more times, during “lunch” and “dinner”. Obviously, it wasn’t that he started to eat things, it was more of a way to tell time. Though, those were the actual times when Will fed Professor Bun-Bun.

He would wander outside of the house to find some random grass patch nearby, pull them out, and move them into the house. There he just tosses the pile on the ground of the “living room”, then while Professor Bun-Bun was eating, he would channel his mana into its body.

In the beginning, he had tried to just pour the mana straight out from his hands over Professor Bun-Bun, sadly it seemed that his mana was so weak that the outside mana just dissipates it. Whenever Will tries, it felt like he was moving around some kind of liquid within his body using only his willpower. Then once it gets out of his body, the liquid turns into gas and just mixes with the rest of the air. After that, Will just couldn't control it anymore, he couldn't even retrieve it back.

Which was why, when Shui-er came into the house the tenth day after Will received Professor Bun-Bun, she saw him sitting on the floor with both hands on its fluffy white fur.

“Will, what are you doing?”

Blinking out of his trance-like state, Will looked at Shui-er.

“Me? I’m not doing anything at all!” Lying badly, Will quickly tried to find a way to explain his actions. No MC would ever tell other people how to get power ups, otherwise, wouldn’t they end up as the MC instead? Well, that’s usually how the thought process goes anyways, Will thought differently.

“Big Sissy! You want to try this out? I can do the same thing I’m doing for Professor Bun-Bun to you too!” Will looked at his sister with big innocent eyes, trying to look as harmless as possible. Secretly, he was wondering if human test subjects would work better. Humans are also minions right? Depending on whose perspective it was, everything is technically a monster. It just depended on if he could even connect their mana pool together or not, that was Will’s main goal in the first place. Increasing his mana pool - not gaining more minions. That part was just a bonus.

Shui-er walked closer, “Sure I guess? But what exactly are you doing? Professor Bun-Bun looks weird… is it getting cold again?”

She squatted down next to Will and pointed at Professor Bun-Bun with a finger.

'Cold?' Will looked over at the little bunny that only a few seconds ago was eating happily, ignoring Will and his wandering hands.

Now, it was twitching and wiggling on the ground, seemingly in pain. At the same time, Will felt as if he had grown a new hand on his body. It was a strange sensation, something that was both part tingling and part itchy. He felt light-headed and weak, like he had just ran a marathon in the blazing sun. Then his vision was engulfed by darkness.

Shui-er POV

A soft *Thump* echoed near Shui-er as she watched Professor Bun-Bun convulse on the ground. Looking around she almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Will collapsed on the ground.

'Mommy and daddy are still out, what do I do?'

As if heaven had heard her wish, It was at that exact moment that she heard her father’s voice coming from outside the house, “Shui-er! Sweetie! I’m back! Look, we even got some nice blue colored clay too! You can make your bricks - now with color!”

“Daddy! Mommy! Something is wrong with Will! Come quick!” Shui-er scrambled to get to the door, yelling the entire time.

Before she even reached the front door, it was smashed open by mommy, who looked both very angry and concerned at the same time.

“Who messed with my children? Huh? Who wants to die that bad? We moved here because of those pieces of - “ Daddy, who was right behind Mommy, quickly covered up her mouth with a hand.

Realizing that she said too much, Mommy marched over to the fallen Will and examined him without touching, fearing that she might make his condition worse.

“Dear, why does Will seem to have regressed back to Qi Condensation Stage 1?”

“Don’t ask me, rather, why is the mortal rabbit now at Qi Condensation Stage 1?” Daddy was examining Professor Bun-Bun as he replied.

Mommy looked at Professor Bun-Bun who was lying still on the ground, seeming exhausted from the ordeal it had just experienced.

The soft raising and fall of its body was the only indicator that it was still alive.

“Sweetie, can you tell us what happened that caused Will to collapse?” Her father tried to get the entire story.

“I came into the house after making sure that my new bricks were drying and Will was...playing with Professor Bun-Bun? So I sat down near him and then he just fell over!”

“Playing? What was he doing exactly?” Her father tried to get her to clarify.

“I’m not sure, he looked like he was just petting Professor Bun-Bun. Then he just suddenly fell over after we talked a bit.” Shui-er was also wondering what her little, cute, and somewhat weird brother was doing at the time.

Though it didn’t seem like he was just petting the bunny, he seemed more in a trance then anything else while whatever he was doing was going on.

“I see, well let’s just wait for him to wake up then. The main problem is that it seems that he somehow transferred his cultivation to the rabbit.” Her Mommy seemed confused as she spoke, “is that even possible? I don’t remember any kind of technique that allows transfers of cultivation from the practitioner to others. The only thing close to that are the demonic techniques and those do the exact opposite…”

Daddy put a hand on Mommy’s back, trying to reassure her, “Once Will wakes up we can just ask him what he did, and from there reverse the process. Don’t worry dear, there won’t be a problem.”

“I hope so.” Mommy commented at that and both of them stood there watching Will as he lay on the ground.

Shui-er copied her parents and also just stared at Will as he stayed on the ground, unaware of his surroundings.

——————————-

Will felt like there was someone trying to cram a bunch of knowledge into his head all at once, it resembled the time he tried to “Milk” himself 6 times in an hour, just that the pain was in the head rather than another spot…

'Wait, the ending of the One Piece manga? Happy Sugar Life anime? I never read or watched any of these! Sure, I was a fan, but not such a hardcore fan that I created a time machine just to see the ones that hasn’t been made yet! I think….'

Opening his eyes, three pairs of black eyes stared right back at him.

“Hi Meme! And Pepe! And Big Sissy! Um...why are you all staring at me? And why does my body hurt so much?” Will looked around him, for some reason he decided to take a nap on the rock hard wooden floor, though that does explain the joint pain.

The stares were another matter.

“Will, is there pain anywhere? Feeling tired? Anything seem out of place?” His father started asking weird questions while the females just continued to stare at him. Will was getting slightly creeped out by the stares of his sister and “mommy”. It was as if they were expecting him to suddenly do tricks or something.

“Will?” His father’s voice snapped him out of his daze. Oh well, he might as well check his body to see if anything was out of place.

After a thorough check across his entire body, other than the aching bones, Will didn’t think there was anything different from before he passed out. In fact, he felt a little stronger, as if there was an additional source of mana that was connected to him. Not physically, more of a feeling that he felt in his mind.

That experience of growing a new limb came to mind, Will recalled it was right before he blacked out. He could feel that the connection was still there, akin to a string, so he figured it would be a good idea to check what it really was.

Since it was like a string, Will tried tugging mentally at the connection. It was almost like telling a limb to make sudden movements - just this one only existed in his head.

His action did cause an effect, as Professor Bun-Bun, who was still laying on the ground unnoticed, abruptly twitched. Then it jumped up like someone had just jabbed it with a taser.

An odd look on his face, Will tugged at his intangible mana source again.

This time Professor Bun-Bun shot out a small ball of fire from its mouth. It hit the wooden floor and left a small black burn mark on the brown wood directly in front of the little bunny.

'OK...THAT is new. Didn’t know rabbits can use [Flamethrower]. Then again, this world is new to me...maybe this is normal?'

“Dear, what did I just see?” “Mommy” looked bewildered at what she just witnessed. “I could have sworn, a Qi Condensation Stage 1 Demon Beast just shot out a fire technique. But didn’t you have to at least be Stage 5 and above to release your Qi outside the body?”

“Yes, that’s what is supposed to be true for everything that cultivates…” Will’s father now seemed to be looking at Professor Bun-Bun in a new light.

Meanwhile, Will felt a vague sense of happiness through the link to Professor Bun-Bun.

It was like a scenario where someone had just eaten a massive amount of food in a single sitting. Unaware that he had already finished digesting the parts he could, and wandered off elsewhere.

Had he tried to find a bathroom to take care of the rest, he would have realized that there wasn't one within a 10 miles radius. So while he thought that he didn’t need to go, when he discovered one, he figured he might as well.

And then the toilet got stuck, but he was relieved of all the extra baggage he had unknowingly carried around.

Yea that kind of happiness.

Will looked at the burn mark with a strange look, it appears that was the parts that wasn’t “digested” over the 10 days he had been “feeding” Professor Bun-Bun. The same parts that Professor Bun-Bun had finally managed to get rid of.

It felt weird to be part of the things that were gotten rid of, but then again…

Maybe it felt right?

“Will, tell daddy, how did you manage to split your cultivation and give it to the rabbit? This is really important, you need to tell me every single step. Don’t leave out anything.” His father returned the topic back on track, seeming intent on finding how Will managed to do the so-called impossible.

'Cultivation? What’s that?'

Will did the head tilt that all cute, cuddly children do when they didn’t understand what was being said.

“Pepe, what’s cultivation? Are you talking about mana?”

“Mana? What’s that? I’m talking about Qi Cultivation.”

““Huh?””

Will felt like he had a headache coming up.
