51: Mythical pet eggs, contracts, and golden rules!

"Hum——!"

An incomparably sacred starlight appeared in front of Jiang Yuan, illuminating the area!

In Jiang Yuan's wide, astonished eyes.

A gold and black crest brimming with the Profound Truth of the gods emerged from the starlight, appearing out of thin air in the Void Realm between him and the pet egg. It slowly rotated, emitting an ancient, sacred, eternal, and immortal aura.

"This is…?"

Jiang Yuan hadn't even finished speaking.

"Swish!"

The crest shot out two beams of light.

One beam landed on the pet egg, and the other landed on Jiang Yuan's forehead.

The person and the egg suddenly burst with brilliant light!

In his daze, an afterimage of the gold and black crest appeared on Jiang Yuan's forehead. Deep within his blazing golden right pupil, a black rune emerged, identical to a certain rune on the eggshell.

Behind him, a massive phantom also appeared at the same time, resembling the reflection of some mythical creature shaped like a giant fish.

With a flick of its tail, it churned up the entire ocean. Endless water vapor and an ancient, boundless aura instantly pervaded the entire space. Its blazing Divine Might caused all the dungeon creatures, including the dungeon boss, to look up in panic and apprehension.

"What's going on?"

"Why did the Vicious Beast suddenly run away?!"

The group of students inside the dungeon had no idea what had happened.

Lin Qingyan frowned her pretty eyebrows.

Was that just now…?

Within a certain area, an aged yet shocked voice came from inside an ordinary-looking youth.

"This is…?!"

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"At that very instant, I seemed to sense the aura of a god."

"A god? How is that possible? How could a dungeon like this withstand that kind of existence?"

"...That's true, I must have sensed it wrong."

Jiang Yuan was completely unaware of the giant fish phantom behind him, and it vanished after appearing for just a split second.

A prompt sounded in his ear.

[Ding! Due to the amplification you bestowed, your pet egg (Mythic) holds feelings of excitement, thrill, and humility, and has taken the initiative to sign a master-servant contract with you.]

[Ding! You have received the blessing of the pet egg (Mythic). Luck +5, and you have acquired the passive skill — Golden Rule.]

Shock!!

Utter shock!

Until all the anomalies completely vanished and the pet egg returned to the System inventory.

Jiang Yuan still hadn't recovered his senses.

"This amplification actually targeted the pet egg?!"

"And it even amplified it to the Mythic Rank?! Does that mean… the cub of a mythical creature is inside that egg?!"

Jiang Yuan muttered blankly to himself.

You must know that exotic beast pets in this world were extremely rare.

Because exotic beasts were extremely difficult to tame, aside from Martial Artists who changed classes into the hidden class [Beast Tamer] and could own pets, everyone else could only obtain them by contracting pet eggs.

And pet eggs were exceptionally rare.

Ordinary transitioned Martial Artists would find it worth bragging about just to own a Bronze Rank pet egg.

Silver Rank pet eggs could only be acquired at a high price by scions of wealthy and powerful families or the offspring of high-tier Martial Artists.

As for Gold Rank pet eggs, they couldn't be bought no matter how much money one had; they were priceless and unavailable on the market. Even high-tier Martial Artists found them very difficult to obtain.

Higher Epic Rank and Legendary Rank pet eggs were even more of a pipe dream.

Jiang Yuan had only managed to unearth one from a bountiful treasure chest because he cleared the extremely difficult Trial Tower, and this was also the most valuable item in the chest.

And now…

He, someone who had just upgraded to LV10 and was merely a Tier-2 Martial Artist, actually possessed a Mythic Rank pet!!

If he told anyone, probably no one would believe him!

"Gulp…"

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Only then did Jiang Yuan open the System inventory to check its attributes.

[Pet Egg (Mythic): Species unknown, Attributes unknown, Talent unknown, Skills unknown, Incubation time required: Unknown]

Five unknowns in a row completely dazed Jiang Yuan.

Who the hell knows when this thing will hatch, what use is it?

Use it to smash people?

"Sigh… I certainly can't expect an egg to talk."

"There definitely has to be a way to hatch it early. I'll check related information after leaving the dungeon."

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

Although this egg was currently useless, the passive skill it brought along was quite good.

[Golden Rule (Passive)]: The bearer of this skill will be favored by the Goddess of Fortune, possessing incredible financial luck. Without needing to pursue it, treasures will come to you.

"Not bad, not bad, truly not bad."

Jiang Yuan smiled quite brightly, especially when he saw the words [Treasures will come to you].

"Does this mean that with this skill, I'll be able to pick up money just walking around in the future, and searching monsters will always drop equipment? This is way too awesome."

"If I had a [Steal] skill as well…"

Jiang Yuan felt wonderful just thinking about it.

"Open panel."
