Chapter 8 The System Unlocks the Species Function!

Alan reacquainted himself with his new body. After becoming a knight, he could feel the power in his body with clarity. He was much stronger than when he was a trainee knight.

“This is the power of a true knight?”

Alan showed a slight comforted look on his face. Feeling power was a wonderful thing. After relishing the power for a while, Alan once again set his sights on the System. This time, he studied it carefully. This would be the basis for his rise.

Alan looked up and down at the interface and suddenly discovered that there were multiple pages, not just one. At the bottom of the interface, it displayed “Main Interface,” “Inventory Bar,” and “Species.” Alan was in the Main Interface at the moment.

Alan immediately adjusted the interface to his inventory. There were hundreds of small grids for storing items, so he experimented with the books in the study. Each small grid could contain 999 items of the same type. There were not many books in the small study room, so the first grid could not be filled.

Alan had to ask the system in order to figure out that each grid could store 999 books. In the same way, other items could also be stored. Of course, only inanimate items could be stored. This feature made Alan happy once again, as this was a standard for protagonists. Alan looked at the Species interface and saw that there was only one species there.

“The dragon!”

The System displayed: Giant dragon, a legendary creature with powerful strength and infinite potential. After evaluation, it will be five stars.

“A five-star legendary creature!”

After clicking on this interface again, a message appeared in Alan’s mind. The species in this world were systematically divided into five levels. It went from one to five stars. The ranks corresponded to ordinary, elite, magic, overlord, and legend!

“I unexpectedly unlocked a legendary creature at the start!”

A gleam of light flashed in Alan’s eyes. This Species interface could be the most potential part of the entire System! Alan could unlock different species by collecting the genes and power of each species. Once unlocked, he could mass-produce the species through a large number of gold coins.

After unlocking the species, the system would give rewards. For example, Alan unlocked the dragon breed and the System rewarded him with a dragon egg. And now, it showed that he needed to spend a million gold for a giant dragon!

“A million gold is too astronomical for me!” Alan said a little speechless, but the thought quickly disappeared.

A giant dragon in this world was simply not measured by money. Each one of them was priceless. If others knew that one million gold could buy a giant dragon, then the whole world would go mad.

“Even the earl didn’t have a million gold coins. Only Duke Lane has that much money, right?” Alan sighed.

Alan wanted to buy the dragon, but it would not be possible in such a short amount of time. Duke Lane was the master of the entire duchy. He was a powerful dragon knight and the most powerful and wealthy person in the entire country. This did not mean that the function was useless. In fact, it was too useful! A gleam of light flashed in Alan’s eyes again, and a plan laid out in his heart. This species function could give him a more powerful army!

“Maybe my army can use powerful monsters as mounts, or birds, or sea beasts, so that I can develop by sea, land, and air.”

Alan’s heart became more and more excited.

“I heard that some powerful kingdoms have Griffon Legions! This is a powerful army that the entire Principality does not have… Aside from anything else, the Bramble Flower family also has its own fighters. The knights are good in combat, especially their horses. They are selected from thousands of excellent breeds! A knight needs to have an excellent mount. Let’s not talk about the griffons. They are not cheap. Let us first make an army stronger than the Knights of Bramble Flower!

Alan determined what his goal as a lord would be, aside from developing crops to ensure living standards in his territory. The most important thing was to have a strong force! As long as that was possible, the territory could expand little by little. The fastest way to get rich was not to develop the territory, but plunder others in war! This was the most indispensable thing on this continent.
