Chapter 30 Crackantula, a Diamond level Beast
“Yiyi, we can’t return empty-handed! There are so many Demantula eggs for us to choose from. This is a great opportunity!”
“That’s right, Yiyi. Despite everything else, we should give it a shot, right?”
“I also want a new Beast.”
A Beast egg with a Mid Iron level potential could be sold for at least a few hundred thousand in the market.
Not to mention those with higher potential.
And here, the Demantula eggs were all over the place for them to choose from.
Not many people would be able to resist such temptation.
This was particularly true for students like them. They would never pass up an opportunity to better themselves.
Liu Yiyi shook her head helplessly but then said, “Do you have enough money to raise another Beast? However, given the circumstances, now is a good time to choose a Beast egg.
After all, the stronger Demantulas were not around, and the strongest of the remaining dozens were only at the Upper-9 Iron level.
It had even fallen asleep.
As long as they kept quiet, they
wouldn’t alarm it.
“We can think of another way to get
the
money. If we miss this opportunity,
we’ll really miss it.”
“At most, I’ll just get a job.”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
Everyone couldn’t wait to pick out the
Demantula eggs.
After getting Liu Yiyi’s approval, they immediately took action.
The group moved by relying on rocks and other obstacles, bending their
backs, and carefully avoiding the
Demantulas’ line of sight.
When they arrived in front of a pile of
Demantula eggs.
One by one, everyone stepped forward
and tried to form a pact.
Making a pact without knowing the
details of the egg was undoubtedly a risky bet.
But they had no choice since no one was an appraiser on the team.
They didn’t want to miss such a great opportunity, so this was their only
choice.
However, this was not a problem for Su Bai at all. He directly opened the panel
to check Beast egg’s information. “None of them are good.” Su Bai shook his head after reading it.
Out of the nine Demantula eggs, the one with the highest potential was only of Mid Silver level.
Su Bai didn’t even care about it.
During the academy term, students
would usually not train more than three Beasts simultaneously.
The training cost was one of the
reasons.
More importantly, the students cannot
do the full range of things.
There were indeed people among Beastmasters who owned many Beasts.
However, almost all of the Beasts were support-type.
A truly capable Beastmaster would
have no more than ten Beasts in their
lifetime.
Perfection was the word, and it
couldn’t be more suitable to describe
the Beastmasters.
“Damn, this won’t do.”
The students in the team had all tried,
but all of them failed.
This was a very normal phenomenon.
Most Beast eggs the academy prepared
for the students were at the Bronze level, and the requirements for forming the pact were low. Therefore, the success rate was very high.
However, out of the nine Demantula
eggs in front of everyone, six had potential at the Silver level. “You’re not planning to take one with
you? It shouldn’t be difficult with your
talent,” said Su Bai. He looked at Liu Yiyi and chuckled.
Liu Yiyi’s talent belonged to the rare
type. Thus, it was easier for her to gain the favor of the Beast egg. Liu Yiyi shook her head and said,
“Forget it. I will take one step at a
time. Plus, I’m quite satisfied with the Illucub and didn’t want to be distracted
by other Beasts for the time being.”
“You’ve got the point there,” Su Bai nodded and agreed with Liu Yiyi. None were rich kids, so they had no extra resources to spend. But if the potential was high enough,
Su Bai wouldn’t mind having one more Beast.
The students in the team had all failed, and the excitement from before had faded by quite a bit.
But there were still people who were unwilling to accept defeat.
Liu Yiyi could only helplessly say,
“Let’s try one more batch. If it fails, then give up. Who knows when those Demantulas will return?”
“Alright!”
Everyone cheered up again and went to
the new batch of Demantula eggs.
Su Bai opened the information panel
and checked the eggs’ stats one by one with interest.
They were about the same as the previous batch. None of them were too good, but their potential was not low
either.
Su Bai’s attention was drawn to a Demantula egg wrapped in spider silk not far away.
Su Bai opened the information panel
out of habit to check on the egg.
Then, he was suddenly stunned. Name: Crackantula Lineage: Thousand-Demon Potential: Lower Diamond
Talent: Extrasensory (Epic) Element: None
Nature: Perseverance
Affinity: 69
It was a spider-type Beast egg with Diamond level potential and an epic level talent!
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say
that Su Bai had hit the jackpot.
A Diamond level Beast egg was
extremely rare in the entire Los Monstaria.
Moreover, they would usually not be taken out for sale.
Su Bai didn’t expect to encounter one when he encountered a nest. It’s as if one suddenly got a whim on
an ordinary day, bought a lottery ticket, and won first prize. “What potential do these Demantula
eggs possess? None of us could successfully form a pact.
“Is my talent really that bad?” “Alright, let’s retreat.” “There’s still a chance. I’ll report this
to the teacher. There might even be a reward.”
“Since we’re already here, why don’t we carry one away?”
“No can do. Taking away the Beast
eggs might alert the Demantulas here.” “Sigh… I’m so depressed now.” Unsurprisingly, everyone failed utterly
again.
They had already given up on the idea of taming a new Beast.
When they were about to leave, Su Bai signaled them to wait for him. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Su Bai sneaked up to the pure white
Demantula egg with Diamond level potential.
“An affinity of 69 is a little unstable,” said Su Bai.
Su Bai didn’t need to worry if it was a
Beast egg below the Platinum level.
However, a Beast egg with Diamond level potential was different. An affinity of 69 could only be considered above average, and there was a certain probability that forming the pact would fail.
Once the pact failed, Su Bai could not form a second pact with it.
“I should just try.” Su Bai muttered to
himself. He had never liked unstable factors, but there was no other way.
Su Bai gently touched the white eggshell with his palm.
Suddenly, the system’s notification
tone rang out.
BEEP!
Simplification is in progress… Simplification complete! Master, the simplified effect is that you
can increase the Beast egg’s affinity by
touching it!
Su Bai was so happy that he could soar
into the sky.
Seemed like he could get whatever he wished for!
“What is Su Bai doing over there?”
“No idea.”
“He seems to have taken a fancy to that spider-type Beast egg. I think he wants to make a pact with it.” “I thought Su Bai and Yiyi were the
same. In the end, He’s still moved.”
They thought Su Bai was tempted like them and was just embarrassed earlier. Everyone was stunned when Su Bai
reached out his right hand and crazily touched the spider-type Beast egg in the next second. “What’s he doing…?” Liu Yiyi was
equally confused.
Aside from his purpose, the key was that Su Bai was wearing a strange smile while touching the egg like a pervert!
