Chapter 109 - Dark Sea Killer
Chapter 109: Dark Sea Killer
“I would rather it be sooner; I still want to go to the monster wilderness.”
Su Bai wanted to explore the insect ruins within the Chinese Redbud Monster Wilderness next door so that he could quickly let his Little Bloodworm gather 10,000 Dragon Breaths for it to transform into a dragon.
“Don’t worry; it’s just a week’s work. Wait patiently,” Chen Ruoxue said with a smile.
“Sigh. I can only wait.” He sighed.
“Su Bai, I have good news for you. My Little Conch broke through the high-level servant. Would you like me to show it to you?”
Yang Zhou walked over and said joyously.
“Wow, it’s pretty fast! Let me take a look.”
Nodding, Su Bai looked at the Little Conch lying on the aisle. Its jewel-studded shell was already one meter high, and the soft pinkish flesh poking out suddenly aroused his appetite and made him want to eat it.
[Name|Race]: Little Conch monster
[Gender]: Male
[Level]: High-level servant
[Attribute]: Water, poison
[Features|Passive]: Hydrotherapy (In a water environment, its health will continue to be restored regardless of the water-attribute attacks. Damage inflicted by a water attribute will be converted into spiritual power to repair itself.)
[Skills]: Circulating Water, Water-Poison Arrow, Water Arrow, Tortoise Shrink
[Restrained]: Fire attribute
[Weaknesses]: Wood, earth
[Evolutionary direction]: Little Conch — Double Canon Conch — Conch King
[Introduction]: The Little Conch is a type of low-level monster that lives in the depths of an ocean and is known for its strong defenses.
The final evolved form of it is the Conch King, which is five meters in diameter. On its body, one large and two small cannons will naturally sprout, which is the Conch King’s attacking method. It can be used as a propeller for quick escape.
In the ocean depths, there is a Regicide Black Coral Polyp which grows for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Unlike other polyps, it likes fresh flesh and blood and leaves extremely precious black corals upon death. If a Conch King finds a Regicide Black Coral Polyp and introduces itself to it, a kind of fusion and mutation may occur, giving birth to a kind of deep-sea creature, the Dark Sea Killer.
…
*****
“It’s pretty good; try to let it evolve once while at the servant level. It already has an evolutionary trend, so it shouldn’t be difficult if you work hard.
“You can also equip it with even more skills. It’s also good to hit its consumption stream.”
Su Bai nodded.
In fact, he had always been optimistic about this Little Conch, which was a rare heterochromatic Little Conch. He felt like it had greater chances of fusing and mutating into the Dark Sea Killer.
If it could really become a Dark Sea Killer, then Yang Zhou’s future would be bright.
However, there was risk of failure during the fusion, which might result in death. He was preparing to tell Yang Zhou this after the college entrance examination. His friend would have to make his decision then.
“I understand; I’ll continue to work hard.” Yang Zhou nodded happily. With Su Bai’s encouragement, he was now convinced that his direction was right.
“How about it, Jiang Yang; aren’t I impressive? I told you that my pet would get promoted to a high-level servant grade before you.”
Yang Zhou smiled triumphantly at Jiang Yang.
“Don’t be too arrogant; you’re only one step ahead of me. I guarantee that my Small Pangolin will advance to the warlord level before yours does. I’m already a popular streamer with 300,000 fans and have a stable income; how’re you going to compete with me?” retorted Jiang Yang in disdain.
Ever since his debut as a female voice actor at Station B, he had gained more than 300,000 followers in just over half a month.
In fact, his appearance in women’s clothes was too good-looking and more beautiful than any girls. Combined with his talent in all kinds of voices, Station B was simply his home ground.
After all, as a boy, he knew the male species too well.
“Wasn’t it me who introduced it to you?” Yang Zhou grumbled at the ungrateful Jiang Yang.
Su Bai and the others had never expected Jiang Yang to make a debut, much less gain 300,000 fans in just one month.
Su Bai specially went to watch his videos, and he really had to admire Jiang Yang for being talented.
His first video was playing King’s Glory (a multiplayer online battle arena popular among girls). More importantly, he practiced a signature voice and wrecked his teammates by captivating each of them with his flirtatious language, making them send his troops and defend him.
His fairy-like appearance in women’s clothes and his signature feminine voice instantly became well-known.
Su Bai exclaimed at the sight of his talent. While he was still struggling whether he should earn an income by becoming a streamer or not, Jiang Yang had already succeeded in such a short time.
He felt that this androgynous youth could easily obtain a million fans before this year ended.
“I’m ungrateful indeed, but so what? Are you gonna bite me?” asked Jiang Yang meanly.
“Sister Tingting, I want to sit with you,” he suddenly shouted.
Chen Tingting: “???”
Thinking of what Jiang Yang had said about the seat, she unhesitatingly refused. “No, you’re too weak.”
Class started amid their chatter.
Class in the afternoon was soon over, with today’s lesson only lasting for one hour. They then had to attend an evening self-study, which Su Bai had to attend as well.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you gonna wait for us?” asked Chen Rouxue.
“I’m heading home first; you guys can go eat,” he said.
“Okay, then. Ride your scooter safely,” exhorted his girlfriend.
He waved and left the classroom.
After leaving the school gates, he rode his scooter to Baiyue Manor.
When he arrived at the Azure Dragon Mound, he summoned his contract book and released his pets.
“Howl! (*๓ ́╰╯`๓)♡”
Ah Bai, is it mealtime now?
The cub jumped and looked expectantly up at him.
“Roar! (๑•؎•๑)✧”
Ah Bai, I’m famished!
The Little Tyrant licked its mouth hungrily, even more famished than Purple Jade.
“You two gluttons only know how to eat. I’ll feed you later when we go back. Come over and see how the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush is.”
Su Bai was speechless. The medicinal cake he prepared for them half a month ago had already been emptied within ten days.
Upon hearing that it was not mealtime yet, his two pets immediately became uninterested.
He checked if there was no one around and then opened the protective shield of the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush.
“Wow… It’s really eating fast.”
He sucked in a deep breath.
The boars, which weighed several hundred kilograms from yesterday, were now only a few pieces of white bones.
However, the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush’s seedlings had spread all over a large area. He believed it would quickly occupy the one-hundred-square meter spiritual field.
What surprised him most was that the spiritual fruit trees, which usually took a few days of careful planting to germinate, had already grown small green buds. It was growing even better than the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush’s seedlings.
“Sure enough, this cultivation method is feasible.” Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to the spiritual fields which cost millions or tens of millions, the cost of the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush’s spiritual fruits were much lower.
“Cutie, where did you catch the monsters yesterday? Can you catch a few more?”
He turned and asked.
“Howl~”
It was too hungry and weak.
Purple Jade looked up pitifully at Su Bai.
“Forget it; I’ll go buy some monster corpses to feed the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush. Let’s go home for lunch.”
He sighed.
Although there were monsters around and the cub also had its detection skills, it would still take a long time for them to catch monsters, and he only had half an hour left before class.
“Boy, you’re back! Do you want to come over for a meal? We just cooked a meal.”
Seeing his return, Aunt Liu next door shouted with a smile.
“Thank you, but it’s fine. I’ve already eaten; I just returned to get something.”
Su Bai rejected with a smile. Ever since he became a junior Pet Tamer and his family built the large manor, almost everyone in the village had changed their attitude toward them.
Before, most people did not know his name at all and could not even distinguish him from his brother, but now, they could distinguish very clearly between them.
He understood that these were all changes brought by strength. There was no need to be proud or to be looked down upon.
When he returned home, he fed his two pets and the Little Bloodworm and then took the light balls from the crystal nucleus of the spirit he bought and infused it into the Thousand-face Fox eggs.
As a monster of the psychic attribute with a fantasy branch, just the cost of a crystal nucleus to supplement its origin was already painful to him.
After returning to school, it would very soon be the self-study session. Today’s self-study was Hou Ji’s pet cultivation class.
She examined the growth status of some pets and asked them to do some questions as well as memorize some basic knowledge points.
Once she gave them tasks, she went around the classroom a few times before stopping before Su Bai. She glanced at him and asked with a smile, “Did you guys go to the wilderness? You actually obtained that alien white orchid. It’s very pretty; I like it a lot.”
The real white orchid was different from the white orchid planted with seeds on Blue Planet. As a flower lover, she could naturally distinguish between them.
“Yes, we went with my master,” lied Su Bai.
“No wonder.” Hou Jie nodded. “The cultivation house has already signed a contract with your family. The manor is very good; it’s much more elegant than the Blue Moon Cultivation House.
“I’ve recently asked someone to open a branch in Carp Town, so you can go whenever you want to give instructions. The people over there will offer assistance.”
“Thank you, teacher. You’re always welcome to visit our Baiyue Manor as a guest. I’ve recently planted a lot of rare tea trees and should be able to pick them in a few months’ time.”
Su Bai smiled as he spoke. He respected Hou Jie very much and had saved a lot of trouble because of her. She and Hou Lan were regarded as his benefactors.
“Okay, I’ll come by when I have time.” Hou Jie smiled and agreed.
“Your manor was built already?” Chen Rouxue whispered when the teacher left.
“It’s our home.” He took out his phone and showed her the photos.
“Let me see!”
In the back seat, Jiang Yang and Yang Zhou also roared. They had recently heard of a newly built large manor in Carp Town and were shocked to learn that it belonged to Su Bai.
“Okay, but be careful, lest Teacher Hou come and confiscate the phone.”
Speechless, Su Bai turned on his phone and showed them the pictures, including some bird’s-eye shots.
“F*ck, it’s really big! Where did your family obtain so much money?” Jiang Yang asked curiously.
“Yes, Brother Bai, do you need a bodyguard? See if I’m suitable; I only charge 100,000 yuan a month, and I’ll never leave your side.” Yang Zhou patted his chest.
“Get lost.” Su Bai glanced sideways at him. “Everything is on loan; we’re not rich, but once it’s completely built, I’ll bring you guys over as guests.”
“Okay, then. I wanna go there and take a look.”
“Yes, yes. I also wanna see how a large manor looks like.” Jiang Yang nodded.
“No problem.” Su Bai took his phone back.
“It’s huge. I didn’t expect your family to build such a big manor,” said Chen Rouxue in shock.
“Hehe! It’s not that big. Look at this hill; I named it the Azure Dragon Mound. A villa will be built on top of it next time, and it’ll belong to the both of us. What kind of flowers and plants do you think are good for planting there?” he asked with a smile.
“I think we should have a small purple bamboo forest and then plant some spiritual tea trees. I can’t think of others for now, but I’ll head over to take a look with you when I’m free,” replied Chen Rouxue after thinking about it.
“It should be finished in a month at most.” Su Bai nodded.
He was about to turn off his phone to read when he received a text message, indicating that fifteen million had been transferred to his bank account. He had a total of sixteen million now.
Following which, he received a message that the money was from his senior brother, Liu Xinghe.
“Wow, he transferred the money so quickly. Your senior is really reliable,” said Chen Rouxue, a little surprised.
“Yeah, it’s so fast. We don’t have to worry about pet food for at least a month.”
Su Bai did not split the money with his girlfriend. They made no distinction between what was theirs and were not particularly concerned about this.
“By the way, how are the two pet eggs? Have you researched it?” she suddenly asked.
“Of course, those two spirit eggs are Thousand-face Foxes; they’re very old and rare spirits, having a spirit attribute with a fantasy branch, and their trait is the Thousand Change skill. In theory, they can learn all the skills which are used before them.” He spoke at length.
“They sound powerful. Let’s contract them, then. Since there are two, we can have each,” said the girl. It indeed was a very strong skill indeed to be capable of copying others’ skills.
“I think so, too,” he said, smiling.
…
…
“Ah, this Bloodthirsty Spear Bush really lives up to expectations.”
Su Bai looked at the nearly one hundred square meters of Bloodthirsty Spear Bush and exclaimed in surprise. This Bloodthirsty Spear Bush had grown up to occupy this piece of field.
Dozen or so spiritual fruit trees, scattered across the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush’s body, had also grown very well and were now in bloom.
“The next step is to get used to controlling it.”
Nodding, Su Bai opened the energy shield and led his pets away.
When he returned home, he picked up an incubator with the Thousand-face Fox eggs inside and walked out with the hatching liquid.
These were for Chen Rouxue. After spending another three million, the origin of these Thousand-face Fox eggs were now saturated.
It had really burned a hole in his pocket. Half a week ago, he had prepared a month’s worth of medicinal cakes for Big Demon and his two pets. Out of the fifteen million that he and his girlfriend had earned, only three million was left, which was reserved for the Thousand-face Foxes’ hatching.
After discussing it, the couple agreed that all the money should be turned to increase their strength. Hence, Su Bai formulated a new nutrition package for their pets. Each of their daily expenses amounted to at least 100,000 yuan, which was barely enough to be counted as high end.
