56: Demonic Calamity

Two days passed in a flash. During these two days, Su Ze and Feng Qingyi actually consumed all fifty military-grade quenching thought beads completely.

Such a move would definitely be seen as extremely extravagant by outsiders, but it was precisely by relying on this extravagance that Feng Qingyi not only broke through the Level 60 threshold but also steadily rose to Level 62.

Su Ze's level was low, so his improvement was even more exaggerated, directly touching the bottleneck of Level 30.

Of course, just as medicine can cause drug resistance, quenching thought beads cannot be used indefinitely.

Su Ze could clearly feel that the effect of the last ten quenching thought beads was already very poor. The last one was more like a jelly bean eaten by Feng Qingyi, resulting in no change at all.

"Forget it, this is only reasonable. Otherwise, wouldn't those big families be able to casually stack up a Level 100 powerhouse?"

One must know that his fifty quenching thought beads were just something two or three people from the Jiang Family brought out at will, indicating that fifty quenching thought beads were fundamentally nothing special.

"I haven't eaten for two days, I'm starving. I'll boil an egg to eat first," Su Ze said, rubbing his stomach.

Hearing this, Feng Qingyi's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Su Ze.

"Don't worry, I'll boil one for you too," Su Ze said with a smile.

Then Su Ze discovered with some embarrassment that he had been eating eggs a bit too aggressively lately. Even for a "two-and-a-half-year trainee chicken" like him who "laid" one egg a day, he couldn't keep up. Now, the only stock left in the system was a single bronze grade beast taming egg.

"Fortunately, the gacha attempts for these three days haven't been used yet. I'll just pull a few fresh eggs to eat."

Su Ze entered the system space and began his single pulls.

The first pull was the most ordinary bronze egg. Su Ze curled his lips indifferently.

On the second pull, a flash of white light appeared, and a Silver grade demon beast egg rolled out.

For ordinary people, contracting a Silver grade demon beast egg was enough for them to secure a good life, or even join the Great Xia Spirit Guards.

But for Su Ze, it just meant the taste would be better than the bronze grade.

The third pull was white light again. Su Ze shook his head listlessly; he hadn't expected to get anything good from single pulls anyway.

But then he felt something was wrong. Although it was also white light, why did it feel much more brilliant and dazzling this time?

Then he saw a gacha egg roll down and bump into the Silver grade beast taming egg in front of it. With this comparison, the difference was obvious; these two eggs were different.

"This is..." Su Ze took the egg out of the system and looked at it carefully: "Platinum? This is a platinum-level demon beast egg?!"

Su Ze immediately checked it with excitement: "As expected!"

"platinum egg hatching conditions: Needs to be hatched in a high-gravity environment. The greater the gravity, the stronger the hatched demon beast!"

Although Su Ze didn't know where such a high-gravity environment was, the platinum-level demon beast egg itself was attractive enough.

Feng Qingyi leaned over, looking at the demon beast egg in Su Ze's hand and drooling: "Are we... eating this egg today... *slurp*..."

Seeing her like that, Su Ze hurriedly put the egg back into the system. Feng Qingyi lunged forward but failed to catch it.

"Stop right there. This egg can't be eaten; it's too precious. We'll eat other eggs."

As he spoke, he took out a Silver egg and a bronze egg. The Silver egg was for Feng Qingyi, while the bronze egg was enough for him.

Feng Qingyi pouted unhappily, but she didn't continue to make things difficult for Su Ze.

Soon, the two eggs were boiled.

Although it was still delicious, perhaps because she had just been stimulated by the platinum egg, Feng Qingyi felt that the Silver egg didn't taste as good as before.

As Su Ze watched Feng Qingyi stuffing the boiled egg into her mouth bite by bite, a bizarre thought suddenly popped into his head.

Feng Qingyi's diamond egg and the other demon beast eggs were all produced from the system. So, could she and the egg he was eating now be considered sisters?

Even Su Ze himself was amused by this thought. Feng Qingyi gave him a curious look from the side.

However, although it was a nonsensical thought, it also raised a question for Su Ze.

Where exactly did the demon beast eggs in the system come from?

Or rather, where did the system come from?

Su Ze couldn't figure it out, but he felt it wasn't something that could be explained simply as a "transmigrator's exclusive cheat."

Just after Su Ze had eaten his fill, his keen ears caught the sound of a commotion coming from outside.

He frowned and walked out with Feng Qingyi. What he found even stranger was that Sun Hao, who would always go out with him, didn't appear today. There was no movement from his front door.

"Not at home? Did he leave because he thought I'd be safe staying home these past two days?" Su Ze shook his head, thinking it unlikely.

"Maybe he encountered something more important." Su Ze didn't think he was the most important person in the world to others; there would always be things with a higher priority than him.

When he reached downstairs, he indeed found that everything outside was in chaos.

People were scrambling from one side of the city to the other, complaining from time to time: "A few days ago it was an earthquake, and now it's a high-level Monster Calamity. What's wrong with Beishan City?!"

"Stop complaining and run! It'll be too late if you wait any longer. Even the Great Xia Spirit Guards can't stop it!"

"Monster Calamity?" Su Ze finally realized that the direction they were fleeing from was exactly where the Great Xia Spirit Guards' camp was stationed.

Logically, that should be the safest place. What was going on now?

"Even Captain Guo has no way to deal with the Monster Calamity? Could it be a platinum-level demon beast over Level 70 going berserk? Beishan City doesn't have such high-level demon beasts or Beast Tamers..."

Feeling a faint sense of unease, Su Ze ran against the flow of people toward the source of the chaos.

As the crowd grew thicker, Su Ze, moving against the tide, gradually found it hard to walk. For every two steps forward, he was pushed back three. Just as he was about to call Feng Qingyi to fly him over,

He saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Su Ze hurriedly asked, "Brother Sun? Why are you here? What happened at the camp?"

Seeing him, Sun Hao finally said with a sigh of relief, "Just in time, I was just about to go find you. Come and help me quickly."

Su Ze saw his urgency, but neither of them could squeeze through the crowd.

He simply had Feng Qingyi transform into the gilded wings. Then, holding Sun Hao's single arm, the two of them flew toward the camp together.

On the way, Su Ze asked Sun Hao what had happened.

Sun Hao said only one sentence: "Captain Guo's demon beast lost control in the camp and caused a Monster Calamity. The Great Xia Spirit Guards have suffered heavy casualties..."
