127: Preparations before evolution

After waving goodbye to Li Wen and Chu Yu, Lin Shu returned to his villa.

Black Night and Ziyu stood still, neither of them going to train their skills.

Earth Star sat obediently to the side, not competing or vying for anything.

He lay at Lin Shu's feet, his gaze wandering, involuntarily looking at Lin Shu.

Clearly, both of them wanted to improve too much!

However, Lin Shu only glanced at them, not bothering to interact for now.

He began to sort out all the gains from this outing.

First were the academic credit rewards; due to the unexpected appearance of the Otherworld race, Li Wen privately compensated Lin Shu and Chu Yu 50 academic credits as Mental damage fees, which was not a small sum.

There were also the 200 academic credits given by Liu Jie.

Adding the current mission, the total gain was 260 academic credits, which was decent.

These academic credits were not as difficult to earn as the forums suggested.

Then there were the spoils of war from the Otherworld race.

On its body was a gray cloth bag, about the size of a sachet.

Its effect was similar to a spatial ring; it was a storage spiritual objects.

The interior was bound by the user's Mental power, and since the Otherworld race was dead, it could naturally be opened at will.

Lin Shu, for caution, did not open it on his own.

Instead, he consulted his mentor.

What if the Otherworld race had a hidden trick inside, and he was ambushed by a sinister Mental attack? That would be bad.

Gu Li replied quickly, very satisfied that Lin Shu could consider things so thoroughly.

However, such methods would not appear here, so there would be no danger.

Moreover, with Mental power below the Spirit Origin Level, it was impossible to set up any traps.

Lin Shu then felt relieved.

He immersed his consciousness into it.

In a blink, he perceived a space the size of a computer desk.

There were many miscellaneous items inside, mostly bottles and jars, poisons, hidden weapons, and clothes.

Looking at the characters above, he, who had just learned many Otherworld race scripts, recognized them after a moment of thought.

These were beast-taming rations, and of the common variety.

As for spiritual objects, valuable beast-taming materials, or secret techniques, there were none at all, which made Lin Shu quite helpless.

It seemed there were many poor people among the Otherworld race in this Otherworld.

After all, they were imprisoned in this world by Central State University to train students.

How wealthy could they be?

Furthermore, if those insidious and cunning secret techniques were carried around and obtained by others, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?

Lin Shu understood these things based on the current environment and conditions of the Otherworld race.

So, in the future, when encountering these, he wouldn't hold too much hope.

There were simply no good things.

Only that spatial bag had some value.

Casually tossing it aside, Lin Shu didn't look at it much.

Instead, he checked the proficiency.

Although today ended hastily, the sporadic beast-taming still brought him a lot of gains.

Adding yesterday's remainder, the current proficiency count reached 1742.

Enough for Ziyu to evolve.

Without hesitation, he directly spent 1288 proficiency points to purchase the evolution path for Thunder Swift Shadow.

Instantly, all the evolution steps, key points, and required materials were known to Lin Shu.

It also made him subconsciously glance at Ziyu.

The latter saw it.

This is it, I'm going to evolve!

“Hiss! Hiss!”

He neighed, his voice clear and long.

His hooves pointed upwards, constantly swaying left and right.

It was clear how excited Ziyu was.

Black Night and Earth Star were both strong in combat and had already evolved.

He usually envied them greatly; he also wanted to evolve, to fight and help Lin Shu, and his own pursuit of becoming stronger had never faded.

Now, it was finally about to begin!

He quickly came to Lin Shu's side, gently and carefully nudging Lin Shu's stomach with his large horse head.

Earth Star watched this scene, twisting his head, a bit strange, why is the little horse so strange today?

Black Night's eyeballs constantly rotated.

Never mind, I just added points yesterday, so I'll let you have it today.

You little colt look quite pitiful. He then walked out and went to the equipment room alone.

After a casual pat, Lin Shu told him to stand properly to the side and not disturb him for now.

The latter was naturally obedient and dared not overstep.

He immediately began to check the materials required for evolution.

There were five types in total.

The more advanced the evolution method, the more materials were needed.

As creatures of the same Lord quality, there were naturally distinctions of high and low among them.

Fifth-order Purple Thunder Bamboo, fifth-order Flying Spirit Grass, Thunder Spirit Crystal, Heavenly Thunder Talisman Stone, fifth-order Flying Cloud Vine.

Thunder and flying-type beast-taming materials were relatively common.

After all, these two types of beasts were numerous, though the prices might be a bit high.

Lin Shu now had some savings, so he didn't care too much.

He directly entered the Central Province APP and began searching for them in the school's official resource section.

These were just spiritual objects and materials used for Lord-level evolution.

The quantity inside was extremely large.

This clearly showed the solid capital of Central State University.

Lin Shu easily found all the items.

Then, he searched for a sixth-order spiritual objects called Lightning Rod Spirit Earth.

This was a material that could reduce the power of lightning during evolution.

Ziyu' evolution required him to endure lightning strikes in the air.

Such power was naturally terrifying; even a Level 35 beast would find it difficult to withstand.

With Lightning Rod Spirit Earth, the damage could be reduced by at least 50%.

The reduced power would allow Ziyu to bear it.

This was also a method in the evolution path to protect the beast's life safety.

Ziyu' evolution had the possibility of death if it failed.

If there were no protective measures, Lin Shu would not dare to try it easily, and this evolution would have to be delayed for some time.

He added all of them and purchased them together.

-203 academic credits.

The purchasing power of these academic credits was evident.

If these materials were calculated in daxia currency, they would cost at least 10 million.

The 3000 academic credits he received as a top special recruitment reward should be enough to support him for a long time.

Information displayed above indicated that it would be delivered in about an hour.

Putting down his phone, he looked at Ziyu, who was still obediently staying by his side.

He patted his muscular back.

“Alright, the things are almost ready.”

“I'll add some points for you first, and then evolve you tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Ziyu jumped in place, sticking out his tongue.

He was as happy as a five-hundred-pound child.

The remaining 454 proficiency points were quickly depleted, leaving only 4 points.

This was just enough to raise him to Level 25, meeting the evolution requirements.

A continuous flow of energy coursed through Ziyu' body.

Feeling his increasingly powerful strength, his mind couldn't help but wander.

He imagined himself kicking Black Night and punching Earth Star, subduing them all, making his master only add points to him.

Such a scene, just thinking about it, made his heart surge with excitement.

His somewhat sharp horse muzzle instinctively spread, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Lin Shu saw this and didn't know what Ziyu was thinking.

Perhaps the news of tomorrow's evolution made him quite excited!

Then he swayed his body, like a dancer, wiggling into the equipment room.

He was going to evolve tomorrow, but this training could not be neglected.

This demeanor and expression made Black Night a bit displeased.

His silver-glowing blades almost couldn't resist slashing out.

Earth Star, on the other hand, quietly honed his defense, without much expression, only happy for Ziyu in his heart. As long as everyone could help the master, he had no objection to who got the points...

He had no objection to whoever received the points...
