Chapter 6, The Revealed Trump Card (Part 1)
In the casual conversation with Magic, not much information was obtained. He has already confirmed that this other world bears a high resemblance to the West Ancient Continent in the game world he designed. However, there will undoubtedly be many differences between the virtual game world and the real otherworldly continent, and many situations need to be gradually verified. At least, Blackhead is currently not confident that the future will unfold in a step-by-step manner as outlined in the script he previously wrote.
Do not underestimate this upgrade from LV to LV. Similar to many professions in Warcraft, it is quite challenging to achieve a significant upgrade. The transition from LV39 to LV40 is a hurdle that at least half of the six-legged lizards cannot overcome. Six-legged lizards below LV40 can only be used for simple purposes such as transporting goods
There are no supervisors or similar managers near the enclosure for the six-legged giant lizard, as the value of these low-grade crystal cores used as feed is originally low. Moreover, there are inspection procedures in place when leaving, and the penalties for being discovered can be severe, so very few people would engage in such foolish behavior
LV5 Scale Ring Snake Crystal Core, LV1 Green Slime Crystal Core, LV3 Big Mouth Mouse Crystal Core... Heid carefully selected the low-level monster crystal cores from the feed bucket, which contained no fewer than seventy or eighty different types of crystal cores, providing him ample opportunity for selection
Twenty minutes passed, and just as Heid was about to lose hope, the originally languid six-legged giant lizard, which had been lying on the grass pile digesting its food, finally showed a change. It stood up restlessly, its tail, over one meter long, swinging back and forth, and its breathing became rapid, with its body covered in thick scales showing obvious signs of swelling
Thus, he accepted the job, and the enthusiastic Magic personally led him to the enclosure of the six-legged giant lizard before departing
He nodded slightly; at this moment, he did not have the luxury to be picky. This type of work was typical manual labor, which would allow him ample time to carefully consider his situation and strategies. Moreover, hearing that there would be rewards for taking care of the magical beasts as they leveled up and evolved sparked a little scheme in his mind
As for preventing this war and achieving the great feat of allowing elves and humans to coexist peacefully, Heid could not think that far ahead; he still had to focus on how to fill his stomach. Moreover, the fundamental values and directions of survival and development between humans and elves are completely opposed, akin to the relationship between water and fire. If he were to traverse into a high-ranking position of either side, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, a hand resembling that of a graphic novel seized He De's left arm, yanking him back unexpectedly and forcefully pressing him into the corner of the feeding pen. Immediately after, a soft and highly elastic body pressed down upon him
Currently, the LV40 six-legged rock lizard has at least a 20% increase in carrying capacity, and its body defense, explosive power, and endurance have also seen a significant rise. After further training for a period of time, there is a high probability that it can comprehend two or three defensive and offensive skills, becoming a very good combat mount
Heide did not rush to get up; instead, he looked at the six-legged giant lizard, which had grown significantly larger, with a hint of excitement. Its massive body was adorned with a circle of mysterious yellowish-brown patterns, and its length had increased from just over 6 meters to more than 7 meters. Its height had also risen by several dozen centimeters, and the tough brown scales had evidently become thicker. It had now evolved from a LV39 six-legged giant lizard to a LV40 six-legged rock lizard. Its length had increased from just over 6 meters to more than 7 meters, and its height had also risen by several dozen centimeters, with the tough brown scales becoming noticeably thicker. It had now evolved from a LV39 six-legged giant lizard to a LV40 six-legged rock lizard.
Gazing at the sight of the six-legged giant lizard not far away, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Hede's mouth, and he felt a surge of excitement in his heart, "It worked!"
At this moment, the evolving six-legged giant lizard was restlessly pacing back and forth, leaving deep footprints on the solid rocky ground with its six sturdy limbs. The harness that was originally tied around its neck had long been torn apart by it, and the wooden stake at the other end of the reins was forcefully uprooted by the immense strength it had unleashed. Other giant lizards nearby, which were resting, retreated from its vicinity, watching in fear this abnormal counterpart.
First, one must become familiar with this world, and based on my current experiences, perhaps this world is not one I have designed, but rather a real world from another parallel space. For some unknown reason, various pieces of information from this world have become sources of inspiration for my imagination, and many future events that have yet to occur are even projected into my mind. Thinking in this way makes everything that happens seem more reasonable.
This creature should be the one closest to an upgraded evolution. Heid finally poured the specially formulated feed into the selected experimental subject, then nervously watched as the creature slowly consumed the large pile of feed.
If you are fortunate enough to encounter a caring giant during your upgrade evolution, you can also receive an additional reward. Magic enthusiastically shared many of his insights.
The evolution and upgrading of magical beasts are quite similar to that of humans, relying on the consumption of a large number of crystal cores to enhance their various abilities through accumulation and fusion. However, very few people are willing to allow their mount-type magical beasts to consume a significant amount of high-grade crystal cores, even within the imperial army's cavalry. Therefore, they are generally nurtured using low-grade crystal cores.
To exercise caution, Hede only added his specially formulated supplement, composed of ten different types of low-grade crystal cores, to the feed of one of the six-legged giant lizards. The others were mixed with a few randomly grabbed grains from the hay and then poured into the feeding troughs of these large lizards.
In this case, there is still a significant possibility that the catastrophe in Roland City will occur in a few years, so it is essential to acquire sufficient strength for self-preservation before that time
There are risks as well as benefits; if the individuals responsible for care happen to upgrade, they will receive a reward of double their daily wage
However, He De did not intend to take any chances. He had some ideas and could just experiment on these relatively safe magical beasts. If all went well, he would find an important means of survival and gain more advantages. Therefore, he carefully selected the special additives to be mixed into the feed—large quantities of low-level magical beast cores
Sighing, Heide struggled to carry the large wooden barrel and brush towards the feed trough on the other side of the breeding shed, preparing to feed the six-legged giant lizards. Although, in theory, these omnivorous six-legged giant lizards would not attack humanoid creatures, if the food was not properly matched or if their feeding time was delayed, they could still become irritable. It was no joke when these hefty creatures, weighing over one ton, threw a tantrum.
"Magic is truly a kind-hearted neighbor" thought Hede as he vigorously scrubbed the thick brown scales of the six-legged giant lizard, which stood as tall as a person, with a large brush, reflecting on his experiences over the past few days
The person pressing down on Heid controlled his somewhat panicked and powerless struggles while keeping a vigilant eye on the six-legged giant lizard that was undergoing evolution. It was only after the six-legged giant lizard had fully evolved and calmed down that he released Heid and stood up
I find this quite good, taking care of the six-legged giant lizards. Although these creatures are all above level 30, they have relatively gentle temperaments. It may be a bit tiring, but the daily wage of three silver coins is quite decent. I did this job when I first arrived here. This position does not have any restrictions on professional levels. " Magic pointed to another job sign.
The twenty six-legged giant lizards in this breeding shed have reached a stage close to evolution. During the brief period of evolution, these creatures, whether herbivorous or carnivorous, tend to become very aggressive, and there is a significant risk that they may harm other nearby organisms.
