162: A promising future

Currently, its base HP is still a pitiful 10 points.

But as long as it's given time.

One day.

Ten days.

One year.

It will grow into a truly immortal monster.

An ultimate tank that can make even gods despair with its HP alone.

Lin Yu looked at this ugly yet cute little guy and suddenly felt it deserved a better name.

He thought for a moment.

"From now on, you'll be called Blood Pack."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment.

Blood Pack's HP will increase by over 15 billion daily starting now.

And as for his Lightning Spell, which was doubly amplified by the Primeval-grade Eight Desolations Return to Origin and the million-fold Ghost Card...

For Blood Pack to tank one hit... Lin Yu did some mental calculations.

It would probably need to accumulate HP for about twenty thousand days.

Hiss... Twenty thousand days, converted, is over fifty-four years.

Lin Yu was momentarily unsure whether to say that this little bat's Growth potential was too weak, or that his current destructive power was too abnormal.

Fifty-four years.

He couldn't possibly wait fifty-four years for a pet to become useful, could he?

This thought slightly cooled the immense sense of accomplishment he had just felt.

However, it was only a slight cooling.

The little bat's talent was not limited to this.

The reason it seemed weak and had a long Growth cycle now was not due to the stacking idea, nor the Ghost Card's multiplication.

The problem lay at the source.

It lay in the Growth card he had spent three days and nights developing himself.

Its base effect was too weak.

One Growth only added one HP.

So even with over fourteen thousand stacks of million-fold effects, the daily increase was "only" over 15 billion.

This number was astronomical for ordinary professionals.

But for Lin Yu, who had already embarked on a different path, it was not enough.

Far from enough.

What if the base effect of that Growth card wasn't to add one point, but ten points?

Then the daily increase would be 150 billion.

What if it was a hundred points?

Then it would be 1.5 trillion!

As long as the base effect of the card was improved, Blood Pack's Growth rate would skyrocket along an extremely terrifying curve.

By then, let alone fifty-four years.

It might only take fifty-four days, or even five days, for it to grow into an ultimate blood tank that even he couldn't easily kill.

More importantly... Lin Yu's mind was completely opened.

Since there was a card that allowed HP to grow.

Then there must be cards that accelerate Growth!

For example, a card with the effect "Target Follower Card's 'Growth' status trigger interval is reduced to 12 hours."

Or even more outrageous, "trigger interval reduced to 1 hour."

Or directly "trigger one Growth effect."

What would it be like if the effects of such cards could also be multiplied a million times by the Ghost Card?

Blood Pack's HP would no longer grow daily.

Instead, it would madly surge by billions every second, or even every millisecond!

By that time, it would no longer be a living creature.

It would be a walking, self-aware aggregate of the concept of life force!

And... who said Growth could only be HP?

If HP can grow, attack power can definitely too!

As long as he could create the corresponding "Growth formula," he could bestow all these attributes upon Blood Pack.

Perhaps there were also effect cards that could perform attribute conversion, or even synchronize Growth.

For example, a card with the effect "For every 100 HP a Follower Card gains, it gains an additional 1 attack power."

Or, "The Growth rate of attack power keeps pace with the Growth rate of HP."

Once it possessed such cards, Blood Pack would not just be a tank.

It would become an ultimate war weapon with integrated offense and defense, without any weaknesses.

Little bat, no, little Blood Pack, its future is promising!

Its future is truly promising!

The final form of this "nurturing plan," which he personally created, starting from the most rubbish white Follower Card, was unimaginable even to Lin Yu himself.

It would be a miracle beyond myth, belonging solely to him, Lin Yu.

After working until now, Lin Yu's nerves, which had been stretched taut for several days, finally completely relaxed amidst his beautiful aspirations for the future.

A wave of overwhelming fatigue instantly engulfed him.

From creating cards to extreme stacking, he had been awake for over a hundred consecutive hours.

He had been sustained purely by Vitality Nourishment.

Now that his mind relaxed, his body's protests could no longer be ignored.

He swayed, feeling the whole world spinning.

It was time to sleep.

He really needed to get some sleep.

He stared at Blood Pack, which was still curiously looking at him with its ruby-like little eyes from his shoulder, and showed a satisfied smile.

He stumbled towards the soft, large bed in the room.

His entire body almost fell onto it in a "big" character shape.

His consciousness plunged into the deepest darkness the moment it touched the pillow.

Inside the Insect Dwelling, absolute silence returned.

Time flowed by, minute by minute.

After an unknown period.

On Lin Yu's sleeping chest, the palm-sized little bat, Blood Pack, suddenly trembled very slightly.

A nearly imperceptible emerald green halo flashed from its body and disappeared.

Its base HP of 10 points, at this moment, silently began its first leap.

10... 15,099,494,410... The numbers changed soundlessly.

The light screen flickered a few times, then dimmed again, and the entire room returned to its previous darkness and tranquility.

As if nothing had happened.

Only the little bat on Lin Yu's chest seemed more energetic due to that leap in life force just now.

It flapped its tiny wings, adjusted to a comfortable position, and, amidst its master's steady breathing, kept watch over everything around it.

In the past, Lin Yu would have slept for at least a dozen hours, or even longer, after such an exertion.

After all, it was over a hundred consecutive hours of extreme mental and physical overexertion.

However.

Just three hours later.

Lin Yu opened his eyes.

In the dark room, his eyes shone astonishingly bright.

There was no hint of drowsiness.

No trace of fatigue.

His mind was clearer than ever before, and every cell in his body was filled with explosive vitality.

This was the change brought by the Origin-grade Vitality Nourishment.

It was no longer a simple recovery skill, but had fundamentally optimized Lin Yu's life form from the deepest life rules.

Sleep, for him, had transformed from a necessary physiological activity into an optional mode of rest used to organize his thoughts.

If this continued, completely abandoning sleep might not be impossible!

He sat up.

On his shoulder, the fluffy little guy stirred, its ruby-like eyes curiously looking at him.

Blood Pack.

Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he checked its status.
