106: Chapter 106 Black Light Bubble, 3440 Cultivation Points

After confirming that his younger sister would be fine, Li Yu felt relieved; he did not ask Ming Yueguang to take action and resolve Chen Qing.

There were some things he wanted to do himself.

...

He went out for a trip.

By the time he returned, it was already noon.

Just as he walked outside the office, he saw Zhou Ya teasing the Golden Scale Bubble Fish; the latter was blowing Bubbles, swimming swayingly in the air with a bulging belly, looking as if it had eaten too much.

There was a faint smile on Zhou Ya's face, but upon seeing Li Yu return, she immediately retracted her smile in nervousness, the tips of her ears turning slightly red.

Li Yu indicated that he was already used to it.

When they first met, Zhou Ya's demeanor was very cold and detached; she was expressionless and spoke briefly. If she could answer in two words, she would absolutely never use three. Sometimes, after a cultivation session where they worked together for over two hours, they wouldn't exchange more than three sentences.

At first, Li Yu also thought she was cold.

Later, he realized that she was purely socially anxious. She would get so nervous whenever she spoke to anyone that she couldn't speak fluently, so she gradually learned to speak less, or say short sentences, to reduce her stuttering.

However, there were exceptions.

Cultivation.

As long as it involved cultivation, a glint would burst forth in her eyes, her social anxiety would greatly diminish, and she could chatter on endlessly.

"Has the beast tide ended?" Li Yu asked.

"Mm," Zhou Ya said, "Commander Rongrong came by and delivered the Bubble Fish."

"It seems it had a good meal."

Li Yu smiled and turned to enter the office when Zhou Ya suddenly placed a box on the counter; it landed with a "thud," sounding incredibly heavy.

"Whoa! That looks heavy. What's inside?"

"I don't know," Zhou Ya said, "Commander Rongrong sent it."

Hearing this, Li Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise and opened the box. A surge of surging spiritual energy rushed out, instantly enveloping the entire Seventh Floor.

When he saw what was inside, Li Yu was dumbfounded, and Zhou Ya was also shocked, her mouth slightly agape as she fell into a petrified state.

Only the Golden Scale Bubble Fish, like a shark that had smelled blood, flicked its tail and lunged toward the box, but it was slapped away by Li Yu before it could even get close.

Seeing that Li Yu wouldn't give it to him, the Golden Scale Bubble Fish dejectedly spat out a string of non-threatening Bubbles that landed on Li Yu and popped with a pitter-patter sound, after which it triumphantly flew away, not giving Li Yu a chance to retaliate.

Li Yu ignored its actions.

Inside the heavy black box was a demon core.

It was huge.

It was bigger than a basketball, blood-red in texture, shimmering with an exotic light, and the dense spiritual energy was emanating from this demon core.

"So, so big..." Zhou Ya covered her mouth, shocked.

"Mm, this reward is simply too great."

Just as Li Yu was about to close it, he suddenly paused. His gaze narrowed as he saw speckled brown marks on the edge of the box, and his nostrils flared as he caught a faint scent of blood.

It was dried blood.

But for some reason, as Li Yu looked at the bloodstains, a feeling of disgust inexplicably welled up in his heart, as if it were the filthiest thing in the world.

Li Yu asked, "Have you touched the things inside?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ya thought Li Yu suspected her of peeking or stealing something from inside. A wave of grievance surged in her heart, and she hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "No, I didn't touch it."

"Don't be nervous," Li Yu revealed a gentle smile, "There are some unclean things remaining inside; it's easy to get into trouble if you touch them. It's good that you didn't."

Hearing this, Zhou Ya realized she had misunderstood, and shaking her head with a blushing face, she said, "I, I didn't touch it."

Li Yu smiled and carried the box into the office.

With a summon, he brought the Golden Scale Bubble Fish from the hall into the office, unable to wait to look at its attributes.

Ever since he first saw the Golden Scale Bubble Fish, he had discovered that the Golden Scale Bubble Fish was unusual.

Upon looking, sure enough!

A colorful light flashed in the Golden Scale Bubble Fish's eyes; its movements were silky and agile, and the colorless Bubbles it spat out were heavier than before, with a faint black light.

【Monster Name】: Golden Scale Bubble Fish

【Monster Quality】: Extraordinary (S+)

【Monster Level】: black iron Level 9

【Monster Attribute】: Water

【Monster Talent】: Golden Scale Bubble, Black Light Bubble

【Monster Introduction】: The mysterious Golden Scale Bubble Fish has initially dabbled in the Black Light of the Five-Colored Divine Light. It is said that once it masters a certain divine light, it can shed its fish form and enter the dragon species.

【Final Evolution Target】: Azure Sky Divine Dragon (Mythical)

Sure enough!

Li Yu had not miscalculated; the Golden Scale Bubble Fish really had comprehended a bit of the Five-Colored Divine Light on the city wall and, combined with its talent, had comprehended the Black Light Bubble talent.

"You guy, just how many demon cores did you eat on the city wall?" Li Yu felt.

Golden Scale Bubble Fish: "Glug glug..."

"Forget it, asking you is useless."

Li Yu petted the Golden Scale Bubble Fish, then opened the black box to reveal the glittering demon core inside, saying to the Golden Scale Bubble Fish, "Since it's effective, you can eat this one too."

The Golden Scale Bubble Fish flicked its tail in joy, splashing water all over Li Yu. By the time Li Yu turned back, the Golden Scale Bubble Fish had already carried the demon core, run to the fish tank in the corner, and was swallowing it bite by bite.

Li Yu shook his head, not looking at this child-like beast anymore.

"System, how much cultivation value do I have?"

The evolution cards he had previously obtained from the lottery had been mostly used up, leaving only one low-grade poison-type card, one water-type card, and one medium-grade universal card.

It was too little.

Poison-type and water-type beasts were already relatively rare, and the medium-grade universal card couldn't evolve beasts below the Lord rank.

He had to quickly draw some for backup.

【Your cultivation value is: 3440.】

"How much?!" Li Yu exclaimed.

Zhou Ya glanced over from outside the door, and the Golden Scale Bubble Fish was also startled, choking on spiritual energy, and looked at Li Yu resentfully.

"It's nothing, you guys continue."

Li Yu laughed it off, and after the gazes were withdrawn, he murmured, "View logs."

Swish!

A dense list of cultivation value growth and consumption logs appeared before his eyes.

【Starlight Wolf King completed the Hundred Beast Kill, feeling heroic, cultivation value + 10】

【Blazing Fire Crow leads the fashion, in a great mood, cultivation value + 4】

【Spirit Diagram Armor evolved successfully, deeply moved in its heart, cultivation value + 800】

【Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon...】

Li Yu looked through it roughly, skipping the War Wolf trio and other small amounts of cultivation value growth, and quickly found the reason for the surge in cultivation value.

Spirit Probing Armor evolved, adding 800 points.

Volcano Dragon evolved in a near-death state, adding 1000 points.

Kekeluo Rat evolved in a near-death state, adding 700 points.

Just these added up to 2500 points; the remaining few hundred points of cultivation value all came from the daily contributions of those evolved beasts.

"3440 points... A huge sum."

Li Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and silently thought, "System, let's start with four primary draws to test my luck."

An invisible roulette wheel spun with a clatter.

Li Yu closed his eyes.

Waiting.

【Congratulations to the host for drawing "low-grade universal evolution card" * 1.】

Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought he was lucky.

What he currently lacked were low-grade universal evolution cards; these were his confidence as a Breeder.

He pulled open a drawer, placed his hand inside, and the next second, a familiar card fell into the drawer.

...

【Congratulations to the host for drawing "low-grade lightning-type evolution card" * 1.】

A card with purple stripes fell into the drawer, landing on top of the previous one with a crisp sound.

Li Yu examined the card, not feeling disappointed in his heart.

Lightning-type beasts were relatively rare, so there weren't many opportunities to use this card, but because lightning-type beasts had high lethality, evolutions related to the lightning type were always in high demand, and the costs for materials and cultivation remained high.

This card should be able to help him earn quite a bit of money. If the other party happened to be a beast that couldn't find its next evolution route, that would be even more perfect.

Winning twice in a row, Li Yu felt increasingly expectant.

It seems today is a good day.
