32: Master's inheritance

“Come, find two Fire Velvet Grass for me.”

A special blending solution was needed, and the pre-configured nutrient solution could no longer be used, so even the base solution had to be re-prepared.

Li Wen quickly got to work, and soon after, two precious Fire Velvet Grass were handed to Lin Bufan.

After complex machine operations, the base solution adapted to the scheme was finally completed. He took the two Fire Velvet Grass and, without a moment's delay, immediately turned to start preparing the special solution for the White Spirit Mushroom himself.

This process required extremely high concentration and precision; not a single step could have the slightest error.

He carefully added the Fire Velvet Grass to the special base solution, then began the next step of the blending.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Bufan’s heart raced. He was so eager to know the specific effect of this scheme… As the experiment progressed, Lin Bufan became increasingly astonished. Because the more he worked on this scheme, the more reasonable it seemed. Every detail was just right, as if it were a match made in heaven. Finally, after the machine's precise evaluation, the Energy Utilization Rate of this scheme actually stayed at an astonishing 95%!

“Did you come up with this scheme yourself?”

“It… should count as it.”

It was his cheat, combined with his own knowledge analysis, so why wouldn’t it count as his own idea?

After taking the potion, the Shadow Bear also woke up with time.

Shadow Bear

attribute: Gold

Species: Elite Advanced

growth level: Commander Primary

Energy Value: 23000

...Oh my goodness, kid, how much of a glutton are you? You digested 4000 Energy Value in one go?

Speaking of eating, seeing the scattered material scraps around, a different thought arose. Wasn't this a small stove right in front of him?

“Senior Brother, can I feed these leftover material scraps to my pet beast?”

“Oh, these? No problem at all. I was just about to have you clean them up, if your pet beast can eat them.”

“Don’t eat indiscriminately! I’m sure you know the medicinal properties of these materials yourself.”

After giving his instructions, it was time for the MVP salary settlement. As he spoke, he took out a new bank card.

“Take this. This is your salary for today. All future salaries will be deposited here. Once you’ve tidied up, you’re free for the day.”

Having resolved the issue, Lin Bufan also prepared to train his pet beast, so he let Li Wen leave early.

Li Wen gently tapped the container. The Azure Banquet, whose training had been interrupted inside the container, was puzzled and let out an angry sound.

“Ying~”

“Seriously, you trash Beastmaster, what are you doing? I’m busy making money!”

The Azure Banquet complained indignantly inside the container, its tone carrying a hint of reproach, as if blaming Li Wen for interrupting its “work.”

“Dinner is served. There are high-grade ingredients outside that you can eat.”

Li Wen looked at the Azure Banquet's puffed-up expression and couldn't help but chuckle. He thought to himself, “This guy really thinks of himself as a money-making machine.”

However, he wasn't angry; instead, he felt that the Azure Banquet was very sensible.

“Ying!”

“Coming! Don’t touch anything, leave it all to me to eat!” the Azure Banquet loudly declared its “sovereignty” as it ran.

(｡>∀<｡)

How quickly its expression changed! And what did it just say?

Trash Beastmaster? How is it just like Ya Bao, entering a rebellious phase as soon as it accepts my ideological imprint?

Could it be that my own thoughts are problematic? No, no, self-doubt is wrong. How could the thoughts of such a handsome and aspiring good young man in society be problematic?

After a whirlwind of eating, the material scraps that had been scattered on the ground had vanished without a trace, leaving behind a clean and tidy empty space.

Azure Banquet, this little worm with the trait of [Gluttony], was now contentedly sprawled on the ground, its body gently rising and falling, clearly enjoying this rare feeling of fullness.

Although the quantity of materials consumed was not large, the immense Energy Value contained within them was enough to make it feel incredibly satisfied.

Li Wen stood to the side, clutching the bank card tightly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and longing.

His thoughts had already drifted home, fantasizing about performing the Water Element ritual for Azure Banquet after returning. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his face was filled with a happy smile.

Just then, Lin Bufan happened to pass by, preparing to start his daily training. He noticed Li Wen holding money and grinning foolishly, a strange, indescribable expression on his face.

Lin Bufan couldn't help but mutter to himself, “I knew it. Without a serious illness, he definitely wouldn't have been noticed by the teacher.”

He shook his head, feeling both confused and amused by Li Wen's actions… Leaving the research institute, he began to plan the evolution ritual.

The Water Element now only lacked one important material—spirit condensing grass—while the Thunder Element lacked much more.

So, Li Wen decided to try his luck at the material shop he frequented.

Li Wen pushed open the door. It was no longer the previous receptionist, but a much more mature, uncle-type figure.

OS: They changed people already? It can't all be summer interns, right?

“Excuse me, do you have spirit condensing grass here?” Li Wen went straight to the point, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.

“I'm sorry, we mainly deal in low-grade materials here. We don't have third-grade materials like that.”

The first, second, and third grades of materials correspond to beginner primary, intermediate, and advanced, respectively, and the fourth grade naturally corresponds to the Commander level.

“If you need it, you should look on the official forum.”

Oh right, I was being silly. I forgot there was an official forum.

The ten-minute wait had greatly worn down Li Wen's patience, but fortunately, it still arrived.

The delivery person was still the same young man from last time. As soon as they met, he said, “It's you again. This time's item is much more advanced than last time.”

Once he had the item, Li Wen's mood was visibly much better.

“No choice, the things my pet beast needs have become more advanced.”

...[Confirm]

[Ritual in progress...]

[05:57:56]

After six hours of waiting, the evolution was finally completed in the evening.

Upon seeing the panel, Li Wen was stunned.

“This Skill…”
