Chapter 121 Found My Leeks
Previously on The Vampire Cat System
[°He suddenly shot out dagger in his hand and stab himself in the chest, the moment he did this he couldn't help but groan in pain as another round of bleeding began again, the pain kept on assaulting his mind as he did everything he could to use the dagger in his hand to force out the broken spear part still inside his chest out.
As more blood came out and pain assaulted his consciousness, his system also sent another round of messages.
[First life:[20/25]
[First life:[15/25]
When he saw this he suddenly seemed to have gained motivation from somewhere, and finally, he manage to get the blade out, the pain quickly went away as it came, while he kept breathing heavily.
The wound on his chest soon continue to heal again, however, just at that moment, he thought it was finally going to finish healing, he received yet another notification.
[First Life:[24/25]

[First life:[20/25]
Bernard had a dumbfounded look on his expression, as he took his time to gradually read the messages on the panel before him again and again until he was quite sure he wasn't missing a thing in the system message.
His eyes kept roaming around the messages as he tried to wrap his head on what was happening at this moment, his eyes kept squinting like they were touches he felt like he had just woken up from a terrible nightmare only to realize he hadn't woken up but was just dreaming another nightmare inside the nightmare, he tried to piece everything that had happened recently and then he finally came up with two possibilities.
After calming himself down he thought about the first possibility, which was he had miscalculated again on his blood-consuming theory, and what he thought he understood to be correct was likely incorrect otherwise he wouldn't have reached his limit so quickly even after consuming blood just recently.
However, that wasn't all, since there was still the second possibility, which was although he had energy and hp, they were two still different things that also work differently as well, energy could be refill by just eating normal food until he was filled, but then his health was different since it could only be refill by consuming human blood and not food.
If it was as he thought it was, if he lost stamina then energy would be used right away, while if he was injured just as he was and lost blood as well then Hp would use his blood as some sort of energy to heal himself, and if energy ran out inside his body he would be alive but wouldn't be able to move in the slightest at least from how he thought things worked, but if he lost blood more than the quota his body could handle at that point he would once again need to consume blood.
However, at this moment not only had he lost energy as well but he also lost blood as well, which left him in a weakened state not only that he was also feeling hungry as well, Bernard rested his back slightly on the white wall of the bathroom.
As he fell into contemplation before pushing everything at the back of his mind, and looked around, he suddenly raised his head to see two boldly written words"Female bathroom", for a brief moment Bernard had forgotten when he rushed inside the bathing his mind had been preoccupied, so he didn't care to read the sign of which bathing he was entering.
But now that he did, he couldn't help but smile with a little embarrassment, however, he didn't stop looking around as he realize the difference between the artistic style of the male and female bathroom, that was when he noticed the heart shape mirror embedded on the wall opposite his line of sight, as he looked at himself in the mirror, his bloody self could be seen clearly, on his shirt was a huge whole on the chest region but there was no sign he was wounded, which would surprise anyone if they saw him in the open.
Bernard had stopped smiling as he looked at himself in complete silence, not only did he look pale even the whiskers markings on his face seemed to had grown thicker and longer as well.
However, that wasn't all, the moment he opened his mouth he noticed something which was barely noticeable, the ends of his teeth seemed have grown out slightly again albeit no one would realize this if he was talking to anyone, but it still made him frown a bit, he couldn't help but touch them slightly and gently like they were the most beautiful thing in the world.
'Sigh seems I might need to drink blood again.'
He touch them with a calm expression, if it was his old self by now he would have been filled with concern and worry, but now he was even calculating how long they would grow this time since he was more prepared than the last time which took him by surprise. Compared to before not only was he prepared he had also gotten over the fact he was drinking human blood as well, which lifted the heavy burden on his mental health.
Even the hunger which would have been unbearable was bearable this time around, perhaps it was just as he thought there was no longer any sense of guilt and he was also well prepared as well, Bernard heaves a sigh of relief.
As sat he there waiting to recover his energy, he suddenly heard someone slam the main entrance door that lead to both the male and female bathroom, however, he didn't mind it too much since it wasn't his business that was not until he heard two voices which made a smile suddenly crept up his lips. It seemed like his leek came right in time to be harvested.
