Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

[Race: Green Snake]

[Level: 1]

[Ability: Agility Enhancement]

[Owner: Jobs]

[40 Monster Points can be used for one enhancement!]

He looked at the information panel of the newly acquired green snake.

Similar to Little Yellow’s previous attributes, after being raised, it also received an enhancement of its basic ability and its personality immediately became much more docile.

Jobs could clearly sense the thoughts of the green snake in front of him.

Now, he only had to name it, he said: “From now on, your name is Big Green.”

Jobs gave it the name Big Green. This was of the same style as Little Yellow, so it was very convenient to call it that.

What he needed to do next was to enhance the new pet.

After all, a level 1 green snake was not strong enough to deal with low-level or even mid-level demonic beasts.

He had to nurture Big Green first.

Looking at Big Green’s information panel, the first enhancement required 40 monster points. After seeing that he had less than 20 points left on his system interface, Jobs recalled that the monster points he had obtained from hunting demonic beasts in Dale Forest were all used to strengthen Little Yellow.

Right now, he had to hunt for more monster points for Big Green to evolve.

It was already so late at night, it was naturally impossible to go to the tavern to look for a demon hunting team.

Thus, Jobs simply stayed at the grassland around his home and began killing small animals to accumulate monster points.

[Ding, you have killed a patterned green snake and obtained 4 Monster Points!]

After crushing the captured patterned green snake to death with a stone, Jobs directly ordered Little Yellow and Big Green to go in two different directions and hunt.

Jobs then went into a bush and began searching for ladybugs, earthworms, and wasps.

[You have killed an earthworm and received 0.3 Monster Points.]

[You have killed a wasp and received 0.4 Monster Points.]

[Ding, your pet Little Yellow has killed an earthworm and received 0.3 Monster Points.]

[Ding, your pet Big Green has killed a small bird and obtained 0.6 Monster Points.]

…

Just like that, the night passed.

He hunted until early morning, when the sun showed a hint of white on the horizon.

Jobs had finally accumulated enough monster points to level up Big Green, he had a total of 600 points!

Like last time, he spent all the points on Big Green’s enhancement option.

[Ding, your pet, Green Snake, has been strengthened successfully to Level 2. Attack speed has increased by 100%.]

[Your pet, Green Snake, has been strengthened successfully to Level 3. Its physical strength has increased by 100%.]

[Your pet, Green Snake, has been strengthened successfully to Level 4. Its fangs have evolved to become as hard as steel.]

[Your pet, Green Snake, has been strengthened successfully to Level 5. The Green Snake has evolved into a Python!]

[Your pet, Big Green, has successfully awakened its innate ability, Petrification!]

Soon, a series of system notifications sounded.

Big Green, which was only 1.2 meters long, began to transform in front of Jobs.

A beam of light shone with an unknown power as Big Green’s body suddenly began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The speed at which it grew was extremely fast, only when Big Green’s body grew to about 15 meters did the growth stop.

Due to the 15-meter-long body, the enhanced Big Green had already filled up the space of the lawn outside the house despite being coiled up.

At this moment, Big Green was no longer as slithery as when it was a small snake. Its snake pupils were filled with malevolence and coldness. Big Green, which had evolved into a python, had its body strengthened by more than ten times, it looked extremely strong.

Jobs had no doubt that even if a water buffalo or a few adults came, Big Green would be able to kill them effortlessly.

After upgrading Big Green to level 5 at one go, Jobs felt an indescribable satisfaction from seeing it transform from a small green snake to such a large python.

But what happened next was the main point.

Jobs looked at the innate ability that had been awakened after Big Green had reached Level 5.

[Big Green’s Talent Skill: Petrification (Level 1)]

[Effect: It can petrify all objects that come into contact. For non-living objects like metal swords, the petrification is permanent. As for living beings, the specific petrification duration is determined by the strength of the target.]

It was a new talent skill, Petrification!

This skill was also obtained by him, it was a talent skill with an extremely strong control effect.

The moment Jobs obtained this skill, he immediately thought of the various uses of this Petrification skill.

Apart from the powerful control effect, this petrification skill was also crucial. No matter what material the object was made of, the material after petrification would definitely be stone.

This way, it would be very useful.

For example, if an iron sword was made of metal and he could not destroy it, once he petrified it with this ability, he could easily break it.

What was even more terrifying was that even if the opponent was a swordsman who focused on defensive magic, he could still use this skill to petrify the opponent and easily shatter the opponent into pieces.

After the stone statue shatters, even if the petrification effect was removed, what awaited this swordsman was definitely a broken corpse. There was no chance of survival.

Just thinking about this ability made Jobs’ body tremble.

He would not use this ability unless there were special circumstances.

After looking at the effect of Big Green’s awakened innate ability, Jobs closed the information panel. At this time, Big Green had already been strengthened to level 5, and its basic combat power was enough.

According to his original plan, he should go home and rest.

But now, he was in a dilemma.

It was because he did not expect that after Big Green was enhanced, it would evolve from a small snake to such a huge size. Even when it was coiled up, it still almost filled up the space outside of his own house, he could not even bring it inside.

In this case, such an obvious and huge python staying in front of his house would definitely attract the attention of the townspeople.

He had to find a safe place for Big Green to reside in first.

After thinking about it again and again, Jobs came up with a plan. He could directly put Big Green into the forest. There was a forest next to Laner Town, and at the same time, there was no demonic beast that the level 5 Big Green could not deal with.

Taking this opportunity, he could let Big Green hunt some animals that were larger to grind some monster points.

It was a perfect decision.

After coming up with a plan, Jobs immediately left the town with Big Green and rushed towards a forest at the entrance of the town.

After bringing Big Green deep into the forest and confirming that the average townsperson would not reach this place, he gave the order.

“Big Green, from now on, hunt all the creatures you see here. At the same time, if you discover any humans, try not to kill them if you can.”

After hearing that, Big Green waved its tail, indicating that it understood the command.

After arranging everything, Jobs brought Little Yellow back to the town.

By the time they had just entered the town, the sky was already completely bright, about nine in the morning.

Jobs, who had returned to Laner Town, did not immediately go to his house. Instead, he was attracted by a scene and looked towards the entrance of the town.

A group of people gathered at the entrance of the town and the surrounding walls.

These were all residents of Laner Town. Most of them were young men and women, and they were all people of the same age as him.

Jobs knew all these people. In his memory, they were all friends who grew up with him.

His attention was immediately drawn by the few elderly figures in the center of the crowd.

The elders surrounded by the crowd wore blue robes and held staffs in their hands. At the same time, there was a crest on their chests.

[Sigt Magic Academy].

The moment he saw the blue-robed elder, Jobs recognized them.

They were teachers of the Magic Academy!

In the human race, magic instructors from magic academies would go to various cities and towns to recruit students every once in a while, all for the sake of recruiting talented magic geniuses into their magic academies.

The old men in front of him were from the Sigt Magic Academy, which was considered a famous Magic Academy in the vicinity of Laner Town.

He did not expect that they would have the time to come to this town to recruit mage apprentices.
