163: Bro, I'm incredibly strong!

"[Follower: Blood Pack]"

"[Status: Growth x15,099,494,400]"

"[Attributes: Health 15,099,494,410, Attack 2]"

"[...]"

It’s done.

Only three hours had passed, and Blood Pack’s first daily Growth had already settled.

Its Health, from a pitiful 10 points, had skyrocketed to over 15 billion.

This number filled Lin Yu with a deep sense of pleasure.

Very good.

Now this is more like it.

This is worthy of being Lin Yu's creation.

Although it was still far from being able to withstand his full-power attack, this was only the first day.

The future is promising.

The Growth formula for Attack should also be put on the agenda.

And Agility, and various resistances... Although followers don't explicitly have these attributes, it never hurts to consider them.

A perfect, versatile, ultimate weapon of war was slowly taking shape in his hands.

Lin Yu's mind became active again, and countless crazy Card Creation plans collided in his head.

He was already impatient to start the second phase of his cultivation plan.

He was about to reach for the Card Creation materials next to him.

Hiss.

A faint sound of space being torn open.

The door of the Insect Dwelling silently slid open to one side.

A slender figure poked her head in and walked in.

It was Lin Yao.

As soon as she entered, she was stunned by the terrifying sight in the room.

A thick layer of unknown black ash was piled on the ground, colorful, strange liquids flowed in the corners, and a peculiar smell of burnt and sour decay permeated the air.

The entire room didn't look like a top-tier safe house; it looked more like an evil alchemical laboratory where a violent explosion had just occurred.

And her brother, Lin Yu, was sitting in the center of that ruin.

His hair was messy, his stubble dark, and his clothes were wrinkled.

Did this older brother... have some magical ability to turn any place he lived into a garbage dump?

"Brother!"

Lin Yao exclaimed and quickly ran over.

"You... what are you doing?"

She walked around Lin Yu, pinching her nose, her face full of disdain and worry.

"Has your room... been robbed? Or did you blow yourself up researching some forbidden potion?"

Lin Yu: "..."

Lin Yu was a bit speechless by her exaggerated reaction.

He was just researching Card Creation.

That's all.

As for why the room looked like this... it was just a trivial, unavoidable loss during the experiment.

"Nothing."

He casually explained, trying to stand up from the ruined floor.

"Just researching new cards."

Lin Yao: "..."

She looked at her brother with an expression like she was seeing a prehistoric monster, her small nose wrinkling subconsciously.

Researching new cards?

Turning a top-tier safe house, worth billions and said to be able to withstand nuclear bombs, into a biochemical wasteland emitting toxic fumes, was called researching new cards?

Was this some evil black magic research site?

She was relieved.

Relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Thankfully, her older brother hadn't been doing these "researches" at home these past few years.

Otherwise, the house would have been gone long ago.

"You'd better not come home in the future," Lin Yao suggested seriously, "I'm scared."

Lin Yu's movements stiffened.

He decided to change this dangerous topic.

He waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal and the room's automatic cleaning system would handle everything.

"Is something wrong?"

Lin Yu continued to ask.

His mind was currently full of various formulas and recipes, and how to shorten Blood Pack's Growth cycle to days, or even hours.

He didn't have much time to waste on small talk.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao's large eyes, which had been full of disdain, blinked twice, then she retorted in an incredulous tone.

"Brother, have you practiced so much that your brain has gone silly?"

"Hmm?"

"Today! Return to school! Assign examination rooms! Explain College Entrance Examination rules!"

She rattled it off, afraid he wouldn't hear her.

"Both of us, this year, have the College Entrance Examination!"

She practically yelled the last three words.

College Entrance Examination.

Hiss... Lin Yu only then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

These past few days, no, ever since he entered the Insect Dwelling, his entire way of thinking had completely deviated from the norm.

He was thinking about how to combine primordial-level skills to create world-destroying attacks.

He was planning how to use Ghost Cards to create creations that defied the world's rules.

He was facing mysterious enemies from the Abyss Domain who could withstand his Lightning Spell a million times over.

In the face of these events that could destroy the world and overturn worldviews, the College Entrance Examination... seemed so... insignificant and distant.

So much so that he had truly, completely, forgotten about it.

However... it seemed to be a very important matter.

His research these past few days made Lin Yu realize more deeply how much detours a good school, good educational resources, and good teachers could help him avoid.

Wealth moves hearts, but that is for ordinary people.

Teachers who could help the current Lin Yu... that level, he probably couldn't hire with wealth.

From this perspective, the College Entrance Examination seemed to be the fastest way.

Looking at his sister's "you're hopeless" expression, Lin Yu felt a rare trace of embarrassment.

He cleared his throat.

"Got it, I'll clean up now."

He prepared to get up to wash and change into clean clothes.

After hundreds of consecutive hours of extreme operation, he felt like he was starting to smell bad.

However, as soon as he moved, he noticed Lin Yao blinking her bright, sparkling eyes, staring at him intently, her expression carrying a hint of anticipation, a hint of showing off, and a hint of irrepressible smugness.

This girl... Lin Yu stopped moving and sat back down.

"What's wrong?"

He asked with interest.

"How have you been these past few days?"

At the mention of this, Lin Yao's tail almost wagged to the sky.

"Me?"

She chuckled, mimicking an adult, and puffed out her small chest with a feigned air of profundity, her face full of pride.

"I'm... I'm incredibly strong now!"

Incredibly strong?

Lin Yu was truly interested.

Lin Yao had awakened the Mythic-level profession [Omniscient Sage], and the potential of this profession was something even he couldn't fully comprehend.

It was said to be able to understand all laws; theoretically, any skill in her hands could be quickly mastered, and even optimized.

These past few days, she had been in another safe house, with the highest-grade resources supplied, so who knew what level she had Grown to.

To think simply... she must be another Zhao Tianyang, right?

"Oh? How strong?"

Lin Yu pressed for details.

"Has the Omniscient Sage comprehended any new abilities? Or have you leveled up any skills to a high rank?"

"I won't tell you."

Lin Yao suddenly became secretive again, made a playful face at him, and then put her hands behind her back.

"It's a secret!"
