Chapter 387

Gu Ding was a little stunned when he heard Faust's words. He did not expect Faust to make such a request.

"If it were you, I'd say yes," Neptune urged in Gu Ding's ear. "That astronomical amount of money in the bank is simply irresistible."

Gu Ding ignored Neptune. After a while, he finally said, "Faust, I won't say no to you. However, I think you need to think carefully about whether you're making this decision out of true desire in your heart or out of impulse. If it's just impulse, you'll definitely regret your decision in the future. That's because becoming an Interstellar Pirate means starting all over again. "

Faust fell silent. He had read a lot of stories about Interstellar Pirates over the past few days, so he made this decision. He did not know if it was the right decision or not.

Seeing Faust's silence, Gu Ding continued, "How about this, when you return to your family, you can go back to your old life. If you still want to become an Interstellar Pirate after a few months, you can come to us anytime. "

Faust nodded. He thought Gu Ding's suggestion was not bad. He had been a little lost lately. His dream since young had been to surpass his father and become the richest man in the Cosmic Sea. Even before he met Gu Ding and the others, his understanding of Interstellar Pirates was similar to that of ordinary people. He thought that Interstellar Pirates were a bunch of people who had nothing better to do and drove their spaceships around in space all day long, killing, and robbing. Now, the idea of becoming an Interstellar Pirate had inexplicably popped up.

"I have a few questions …" Faust suddenly remembered that he had looked up a lot of things about Gu Ding's crew over the past few days. Some things were very mysterious on Skynet. Now that Gu Ding was in front of him, his curiosity made him want to ask about the truth of those things. "I've read a lot of news reports about your crew over the past few days. I want to know, is it true that you encountered space-time backtracking and encountered the Witch Tribe from the Middle Ages on Skynet?"

"It's true …" Gu Ding recounted what had happened when Faust asked.

"Also, there's a rumor that you kidnapped the lord of Faye Cosmic Nation, but the news was later suppressed. Is this also true?"

"Actually, it's not really a kidnapping. I only asked Y 'lisabet to help heal Biggie, but the people of Faye Cosmic Nation misunderstood … "Gu Ding did not expect someone to dig up such a thing.

"Also …"

For the next few days, Gu Ding did not enter Robert's domain to cultivate. The Metal-type Devourer's beast egg in the incubator began to show signs of hatching. Gu Ding lowered the incubator's temperature and light at Neptune's instruction. Both he and Faust observed the incubator for a while every day.

"Gu Ding, don't forget we still have a bet." Faust pointed at the incubator.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely lose," Gu Ding said confidently.

"Before it hatches, I won't believe anything you say." Although Faust had some doubts in his heart, he still believed in his own judgment.

A few days passed by quickly, and Ayesha was finally the second person to come out of Robert's domain after Gu Ding. Gu Ding could feel the intensity of her Vitality. It was so thick that it was terrifying.

"Gu Gu" Ding Gu.. "Gu Gu"

"My bloodline has awakened for the second time. When I return to the clan, Dad will definitely not be a match for me." Elsa waved her little fist. Her stomach growled as soon as she said that. It was protesting that she had not eaten for days. "I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"It's almost time for dinner. Gu Ding only knows how to cook egg fried rice, so I'll do it." Faust got up and walked toward the kitchen. He had nothing to do these days, so cooking had become a pastime.

"How are Biggie and the others?" Gu Ding asked.

"Biggie has broken through to deity level. He's been stabilizing his cultivation for the past few days. He should be able to come out tomorrow." Elsa checked on everyone before she came out. "Lili's pupils have changed, and her aura has stabilized. She should be able to come out soon. Tagore is still sleeping, but I don't know what's going on. I noticed that Dockett's aura has become very strong. Is he from a Special Tribe and has his Blood Awakened? "

"It's not his Blood Awakening. He's just lucky. He inherited the Crimson Blood Beast's Bloodline Gene and obtained the Crimson Blood Beast's Bloodline Inheritance," Gu Ding explained.

"That's amazing. Obtaining the Starry Beast's Bloodline Inheritance …" Elsa's face was full of envy.

"Yeah, his luck is out of this world." Gu Ding was a little envious as well.

Faust's culinary skills were naturally not as good as Biggie's. He knew his own limitations, so he only made a few of his signature dishes. Fortunately, Gu Ding and Elsa were not picky foodies. They ate everything cleanly, which made Faust feel a little relieved.

After lunch, the three of them were chatting. Suddenly, Neptune's voice sounded in Gu Ding's ear. "That Metal-type Devourer is about to hatch."

Gu Ding immediately sat up and appeared in front of the incubator in a flash.

Elsa and Faust also immediately followed him.

Inside the incubator, a crack appeared on the beast egg.

"Looks like it's about to hatch. It'll take at least a day, at most three days. We'll be able to see if it's a mutated beast." Faust's family owned a pet trading company, so he was very familiar with the process of pet incubation.

However, just as Faust's voice trailed off, the crack began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. This caused the three of them, who were about to leave, to turn their attention back to the egg and wait patiently.

As the crack expanded, other fine lines began to appear around the crack and spread toward the surrounding of the eggshell.

"How can it be so fast?" Faust thought it was a little strange.

About two to three minutes later, the crack on the eggshell had spread to the entire surface of the eggshell. Then, a soft "crack" was heard. The eggshell finally shattered completely, but it did not shatter into pieces. Instead, it disintegrated into powder.

A golden-furred little thing was immediately exposed in front of everyone. The little thing had a round and furry body. Its two hind legs were upright, and its two front claws were very short. Its pair of eyes were like two blue diamonds embedded in them.

"So cute!" As a woman, Elsa had zero resistance to this kind of creature.

"It really is a mutated beast!" Faust was a little dazed.

Gu Ding grinned as he looked at the little beast in the incubator. At that moment, it opened its mouth and swallowed all the powdered eggshells. Then, it rubbed its belly with its short claws and fell asleep.

"The energy contained in the eggshell will put it to sleep for two to three days. When it wakes up, it will be born for about a week. During this time, it can only be fed liquid and powdered food. It just so happens that we have beast blood, so we can feed it. A mutated devourer has many possibilities to evolve. Its food requirements are not as simple as a normal metal-type devourer's, and it's easier to feed it, "Neptune reminded Gu Ding.

"This is really a mutated beast, a metal-type devourer. No matter what form it takes, it should have silver-gray fur when it was born, and then it will slowly turn silver-white. This one was born with golden fur, which is something only mutated beasts have. "Faust had to admit that he had lost the bet. Gu Ding shrugged.

Gu Ding shrugged. "I told you a long time ago, but you didn't believe me."

"How did you guys figure it out?" Faust was a little curious.

"I don't know how the old man figured it out, but I figured it out from the beast egg's life force," Gu Ding gave the answer.

"Life force can only be felt with a strong enough soul, right? Moreover, it's said that this method isn't particularly accurate because no one knows what the life force of a mutated beast and a non-mutated beast is. "Faust was still a little skeptical.

"I have a special method to determine life force, and I also know what standard a mutated beast's life force should be above." Gu Ding did not plan to explain much, because saying more would expose Neptune's secret.

Faust did not ask any more questions. In fact, he had heard Gu Ding call out Neptune's name when Gu Ding was killing the Star Behemoth. However, among the crew members he knew, there was no one called Neptune. He guessed that Gu Ding might have a member on the ship that he could not see, but he was not a member of Gu Ding's crew after all. Although he was curious about such things, it was not appropriate for him to probe further.

"Then shall we start fulfilling the old man's bet?" Gu Ding looked at Faust.

"A bet is a bet is a bet." Faust nodded.

Gu Ding dialed the old man's communicator number, and after a while, the call connected. The old man's projection showed a smiling expression. "How is it, my two little friends? That little thing has hatched, right?"

"Yes, old man. It's a mutated devourer," Gu Ding said as he projected the image into the incubator.

Looking at the golden beast's round body, the old man turned to look at Faust. "How is it, little fatty? You've lost, haven't you?"

"Gu Ding, transfer the money." Faust did not intend to quibble.

"Old man, give me your account number. I'll transfer it to you now. It's a total of two million source stones," Gu Ding said to the old man.

"No need. You can use the two million source stones to buy snacks for that little thing." The old man smiled. "Take good care of that little thing. I won't say anything else."

The old man finished speaking and hung up.

"What's going on? You don't want money?" Faust was a little surprised.

"That number was just a temporary one. It's been shut down now." Neptune quickly found out who the old man was and immediately canceled the communication account.

Gu Ding did not pursue the matter any further. Gu Ding wanted to return the one million source stones to Faust, but Faust said that he had lost it and refused to take it.

In the next few days, Biggie and Lilliath came out of seclusion one after another. In Robert's Domain, only Tagore, who was still asleep, and Dockett, who was still in a strange state, were left.

Biggie had become a real deity. His strength had gone up another level, and his Sword Dao had finally reached the Great Consonance Realm.

Lilliath had also broken through to the Demigod Realm. Her eyes had evolved, and the strength of her soul had greatly increased.

Two days passed by quickly. Although Dockett and Tagore were not around, Biggie cooked an unusually sumptuous dinner that day.

During dinner, everyone sat around the table and seemed to be in high spirits.

"Today is our last day in the Dragon Rebel River. Tomorrow, we'll officially step into the Cosmic Sea. A new journey, here we come! "At the dining table, Gu Ding held up a glass full of milca in his hand and shouted happily. "Cheers!"
