race: Overturning Sea Cloud Whale
Rank: King Beast Nine Star
Type: Wind-type, Water Type, Space Type
Aptitude: Perfect
Skills: 1. Cloud Mist Rise (Profound Tier)…
…
11. Multiplication (Profound Tier): Able to change the size of its body within a certain limit.
Evolution Path: 1. Overturning Sea Cloud Whale → Heavenly Radiance Cloud Whale
2. Overturning Sea Cloud Whale → Deep Abyss Sea Spirit
Luo Chen, after once again looking at all the information about the little guy, finally confirmed that the little guy indeed possessed an Evolution Path.
Recalling the difference from a few days ago, it was merely that the little guy had gained a new Skill, Multiplication. Could the key to its Evolution Path be the Skills it possessed?
Based on current speculation, this could only be the case. So, did he also need to encourage Little Furball to comprehend new Skills?
Upon reaching the Wild Beast breakthrough stage, the Beast Master and Beast's advancement were already separate; the Beast's advancement no longer simply propelled the Beast Master's advancement.
The prerequisite for a Beast Master's advancement was comprehending rule runes, but Luo Chen had already met this condition. Therefore, the little guy and Luo Chen's advancement could begin at any time.
However, Luo Chen was still somewhat hesitant. Was his advancement speed a bit too fast?
Currently, with Teacher, this 'big shot,' holding things down, he could have spent some time to settle down. But today, he learned about the disaster, and now Luo Chen truly couldn't settle down at all.
In the face of semi-unknown dangers, one's own strength was the most important.
So, the moment Luo Chen saw the little guy's Evolution Path, he immediately rummaged through his warehouse to see if all the materials were complete. If anything was missing, he needed to find it as soon as possible.
Luo Chen meticulously searched through the little guy's spatial storage while muttering softly,
“Second-tier spirit items: starlight stone, sunlight stone, moonlight stone. I have starlight stone, but not the other two.
Third-tier spirit item, Azure Cloud Stone, yes. yu lin flower, yes.
Fourth-tier spirit item: wild leaf spirit grass, hehe, I happen to have it.
A whole Starry Night Vine… I don't have this. Does the birth of a Wild Beast mean killing an existing Wild Beast? How did the wild Heavenly Radiance Cloud Whale advance?
Uh, maybe there aren't any Heavenly Radiance Cloud Whale populations in the wild at all.”
Luo Chen sorted through everything and found that he still lacked three materials: sunlight stone, moonlight stone, and a Starry Night Vine, which is a Wild-Ranked Beast.
Opening the Star Network, Luo Chen entered the internal online shopping page. Although inter-city logistics fees were extremely expensive, making online shopping unaffordable for logistics companies and the like, online shopping within a single city was still very convenient and cheap.
As a capital city with a population of 100 million, its internal consumption vitality was extremely strong, so this kind of online store business was also very popular.
Sure enough, when Luo Chen searched for moonlight stone and sunlight stone, many shops appeared. Luo Chen randomly entered one with good sales.
The two Types of energy stones were not expensive, both costing five thousand spirit coin each. After some selection, Luo Chen ordered one hundred of each, planning to store the extra ones as they wouldn't take up much space anyway.
Cun You Mountain could not be found on the map, so Luo Chen could only set the delivery address to the Chenyang Pet Store branch.
Now, only the Starry Night Vine material was missing. Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, then his consciousness directly entered the Illusion World according to a special meditation method.
Upon entering the Illusion World, Luo Chen looked around and found himself in a continuous range of mountains, somewhat similar to the Cun You Mountain he was staying in, but also with significant differences.
The main difference was that the Cun You Mountain in the outside world, though equally vast, ultimately had boundaries, whereas this one in the Illusion World was boundless, with no end in sight.
Luo Chen could only instruct the intelligent butler beside him: “Help me open the task publishing system.”
In front of the spherical intelligent butler, which floated in mid-air, a blue light flashed, and then a virtual light board appeared in front of Luo Chen.
“Task publishing system is open. Please choose to publish a task or accept a task.”
“Publish a task,” Luo Chen said.
The display on the light board changed, becoming a simple form for Task Title, Task Content, Task Reward, and Task Time Limit.
Luo Chen thought for a moment, then dictated to the intelligent butler beside him,
“Task Title: Capture Wild-Ranked Beast Starry Night Vine.
Task Content: Capture Wild-Ranked Beast Starry Night Vine. No Rank limit. Regardless of life or death, but the integrity of the body should be guaranteed to the greatest extent, not less than 90%.”
Regarding the task reward, Luo Chen hesitated for a long time. After all, it was capturing a Wild Beast. Not to mention the difficulty of the hunt, the value of a Wild-Ranked Beast itself was difficult to define purely in spirit coin.
After all, this kind of Wild-Ranked Beast was the core asset of a Middle City, and in the ten Upper Cities like the Capital City and Star Moon City, only a select few would possess such a being.
It was only because Luo Chen's circle of contacts was different that he could frequently encounter Wild Beasts.
“Task reward…” Luo Chen exhaled deeply, “One King-Rank Three Star Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, plus fifty million spirit coin.”
Although in Luo Chen's opinion, a King Rank Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit was fully comparable to the Starry Night Vine, which was not very strong in combat.
However, capturing a Starry Night Vine still required one or two Wild-Ranked Beast Masters to take action, and they also needed to search for the location where the Starry Night Vine appeared. Therefore, an additional spirit coin as a reward was very necessary.
Of course, Luo Chen did not forget to attach the information of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, otherwise, how would he attract others to work for him?
race: Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit
Rank: King Beast Three Star
Type: Life Type
Aptitude: Excellent
Skills: 1. Gentle Aroma (Profound Tier)…
2. Spirit Affinity (Earth Tier): The Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit anchors five plants as its Spirit Affinity. As long as enough energy is consumed, it can replicate the Spirit Affinity. The Spirit Affinity has no reproductive ability and cannot be divided. (Currently capable of affiliating two Level 4 spirit items and three Level 3 spirit items.)
3. Life Crystal (Profound Tier)…
4. Growth Domain (Earth Tier): Domain Skill. The Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit deploys a domain with extremely low energy consumption, causing life within the domain to grow faster and enhancing life recovery effects.
5. Shattered Jade Crystal (Profound Tier): The Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit controls shattered jade crystals to grow from the ground. These crystals can be launched to cause damage. This Skill is enhanced within the Growth Domain.
This Beast, the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, had truly contributed too much to him and the Chenyang Pet Store. Luo Chen sighed, then continued.
“Time limit: Starting tomorrow, tentatively within one week.”
The intelligent butler meticulously recorded all the information and then responded, “All information has been successfully entered. Please pay a deposit of twenty million spirit coin.”
Luo Chen first checked his patent royalties and found that he had already earned nearly forty-three million spirit coin. He hadn't expected that in just this short month,
the patents for the six Evolution Paths—Yu Yin Chong Er Fox, Twinborn Dog, Thunderclap Bird, Fire-crested Golden Pheasant, Mystic Sound Blazing Sun Butterfly, and Moon Worshiping Beast—had already earned him so many spirit coin.
Luo Chen took a closer look and realized that the bulk of the patent fees, mostly came from the Mystic Sound Blazing Sun Butterfly, which alone had earned Luo Chen nearly thirty million spirit coin.
If one Mystic Sound Blazing Sun Butterfly cost fifty thousand spirit coin, then thirty million spirit coin meant approximately six hundred Mystic Sound Blazing Sun Butterflies had been evolved during this period.
So, Luo Chen generously instructed the intelligent butler to transfer twenty million spirit coin. The time was still short, and he believed that as his several excellent Evolution Path patents became widespread,
Luo Chen felt confident that becoming a billionaire by the age of eighteen shouldn't be a problem.
“Task successfully published. Please wait patiently for the task to be accepted and completed.”
The task website Luo Chen logged into was an official website specially established by the Capital City government. Often, the government would also publish certain specific tasks for wild hunting teams to complete.
Based on the varying difficulty and rewards, these tasks were divided into different star ratings.
One-star tasks were for Spirit-Rank Beast Master to complete, with rewards valued at over one thousand spirit coin.
Two-star tasks were for King-Rank Beast Master, with rewards valued at over ten thousand spirit coin.
Three-star tasks required King-Rank Beast Master of five stars or higher, or a team, with rewards valued at over one million spirit coin.
Four-star tasks were for Wild-Ranked Beast Master, with rewards valued at over ten million spirit coin.
Five-star tasks had never been published on this website, but others speculated that only tasks requiring Beast Masters of Star Tier or higher would be rated as five-star.
Therefore, as soon as Luo Chen's task was published, it was rated as a four-and-a-half-star difficulty, instantly soaring to the top of the website's task acceptance page.
