103: "Capitalist" bug

Heart of Elements:

Material Level: Level 4 Material

It seems to be a core condensed from the purest and most essential parts of nature, containing astonishingly powerful elemental energy.

When a pet successfully integrates this Heart of Elements, it will gain exceptional control over a specific element. Whether it's scorching flames, icy frost, raging lightning, or surging water, they will become a source of power that they can manipulate at will.

Star Shard:

Material Level: Level 5 Material

These dazzling Star Shards are top-tier treasures among Level 5 materials. They originate from the star world beyond the distant sky, drifting for long ages before falling onto the continent where we reside.

Each Star Shard carries the power of the stars, a mysterious and vast energy capable of causing earth-shattering changes in any beast that comes into contact with it.

Star Shards can greatly enhance a beast's physique and strength. At the same time, nourished by the power of the stars, the pet's body will emit a brilliant glow, as dazzling as the stars themselves.

Feather of Dreams:

Material Level: Level 5 Material

This Feather of Dreams, considered a rare treasure among Level 5 materials, originates from the legendary Dream Beast. This mysterious feather contains magical power beyond ordinary imagination.

When a beast comes into contact with the Feather of Dreams, it can guide the beast into a dreamlike, fantastical space—the Dream—where it can freely train and learn.

Special Note:

The Dream created by the Feather of Dreams is not an ordinary illusory scene, but a realm full of infinite possibilities and creativity.

At first glance, these materials all seem quite good, but upon closer inspection, they don't feel like the most ideal choices.

Compared to Yuan Wang and Ya Bao, who already have relatively clear evolutionary directions, selecting the materials for Qing Yan has become a perplexing problem.

The reason for this dilemma is the dizzying array of possible evolutionary paths.

However, who in this world can truly achieve perfection? Therefore, with so many options, making the right decision is harder than ascending to heaven.

After much deliberation, Li Wen thought, since he was racking his brains and still couldn't decide, why not throw this tricky problem directly to the party concerned—Qing Yan—and let him make the choice himself.

So, he said to Qing Yan, "Come on, pick a few attributes you like from these to be your main evolutionary direction."

Hearing this, Qing Yan let out a questioning sound.

"Ying?"

"Do I really get to choose myself?" Seeing Li Wen nod in confirmation, Qing Yan seemed a little excited.

Li Wen took out a piece of paper and listed all the attributes he could think of so far, one by one, placing it in front of Qing Yan for him to freely choose from.

Qing Yan stared at the paper for a while, then suddenly let out another sound.

"Ying?"

"Is there a possibility of evolving an attribute that makes others willingly work and earn money for me, while I only need to be responsible for eating, drinking, playing, and shopping?"

Li Wen heard this and couldn't help but be stunned, blurting out:

"Ah? No way, what are you talking about?"

However, after a moment's thought, he felt that Qing Yan's strange request didn't seem entirely impossible to achieve.

So, he began to cross out the ordinary attributes on the paper one by one, eventually leaving only four attributes.

Insect Faction, Dragon Faction, Ghost Faction, and Time Faction.

First, the Insect Faction is very easy to understand.

As one of the three great scourges, Insect Faction creatures themselves possess a relatively mature and complete slave system. It's no exaggeration to say that their entire social structure is presented in a completely class-differentiated form.

This point had an astonishing similarity and overlap with Qing Yan's previously conceived "worker faction" concept.

Not only that, but obtaining materials for the Insect Faction is also simpler and easier compared to other factions.

Just as Li Wen said, after a very simple search, he found what he needed.

Nest of the Insect Queen

Can grant the pet a powerful Skill—[Insect Nest]. Can summon slave insects to surge towards enemies like a tide, fighting for oneself.

It comes from a pet named [White-Winged Ant Queen]. It is said that this Ant Queen's species inherently possesses the special ability to control insect swarms.

Li Wen's evaluation was that it was very suitable for Qing Yan's needs, but Qing Yan stated that he was a male insect and politely declined.

Looking at the Dragon Faction, its core lies in the continuous evolution of its bloodline. As long as the individual's level is high enough, he can naturally unlock and master vassal Skills, thereby acquiring a group of loyal "workers" to serve him.

Compared to the Insect Faction, the Dragon Faction was much harder to find. After a strenuous search, no material perfectly meeting the requirements was found.

So, he could only choose the best among the less ideal options.

Dragon Vein Stone

Material Level: Level 5 Material

Once a beast obtains the enhancement of the [Dragon Vein Stone], its potential will be greatly increased, and the pet's growth rate will also be boosted.

Precious minerals from the [Dragon Vein Land], these stones contain the ancient and powerful bloodline power of the Dragon Faction, as if dragon's breath flows within them.

"How about it? I think this is a good thing!"

Li Wen looked at Qing Yan with anticipation, secretly guessing his reaction.

He originally thought that such a rare material, capable of overcoming racial disadvantages, would make Qing Yan overjoyed and cherish it.

However, to his utter surprise, Qing Yan's face showed an even stronger expression of rejection than when he faced the [Nest of the Insect Queen].

Qing Yan retreated several steps, letting out a sharp and urgent cry.

"Ying~ Ying!"

The sound seemed full of disgust.

At the same time, he kept waving his forelimbs, as if trying to push the item in front of him far away.

"Dragon Faction, no! Absolutely not!"

Qing Yan's words unreservedly revealed an extremely strong feeling of disdain.

Hearing this, Li Wen couldn't help but be stunned.

Was Qing Yan's intense rejection merely because it belonged to the Dragon Faction?

Helplessly, Li Wen could only shake his head, muttering to himself.

"It seems that the [Enter Dream] really had a huge impact on him..."

Recalling that experience called "loss," Li Wen was filled with emotion.

Perhaps it was due to that special encounter that Qing Yan now has such an extreme reaction to certain specific things.
