Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Mission Finally Over

Once the next weekend arrived, Kain headed back to Moonstone City.

After establishing the rules for Lumifin's evolution, Kain had spent much of his free time working on the patent.

The patent first requires for Kain to prove that the proposed evolutionary formula is reliable, with at least 5 proven instances of success (of course the more the better) and a success rate above 90%.

Additionally, to prove that the credit of the research is his own, Kain must organize his research notes and write a report outlining his thought process when encountering any successes and failures. Thankfully, Kain didn't have to actually re-enact all of the failed evolutions, and the descriptions of the failed evolutions and evolutionary forms such as Gloomtail will suffice.

Since they were failures, if he claimed to have discarded them, nobody would dig too deep. Especially since he was a newbie.

However, Kain must also successfully evolve at least 5 Lumifin, and he must have them in person to present when someone comes to actually verify his results. Therefore, he put in a rush order for the capture of 10 wild Lumifins in case, and is simply awaiting their delivery to Dark Moon City.

Over the past week, in preparation of them he'd paid a local company to dig up a large pond in the backyard of the property he owns in the suburbs. He had already purchased some artificial spiritual orbs at only orange-grade and cheaper catalysts on the market, keeping in mind that he wanted to prove the effectiveness of his evolution plan even with lower-quality materials used for evolution. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Additionally, although only a little more than a week had passed since first opening the beer barrel, Kain could already see that Barret was leaning towards partnering with him since barely any reduction in quality was sensed each time they reopened it to obtain a sample.

'Everything is finally coming together. I just need to finish this one mission to get Bea to evolve and then all of the plans I'd made recently will be on track.'

Thankfully, Kain had confirmed before making the trip that Yara had learned the necessary skill so this trip wasn't a waste. Plus he could take this trip to prey on their guilt of having him make this trip to complete more orange-grade hunting missions.

When Kain arrived in Moonstone City Friday morning, he was pleased to find that they'd sent a car for him. They must have been even more anxious than him to get Yara's evolution completed.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly. In an open clearing surrounded by the anxious members of the Ashenclaw family, Kain, and her "parents," Yara began to glow with the light of evolution due to the plan Kain had created.

After the glow emitted had lasted far longer than the previous attempts without any signs of the energy going out of control, the tense bodies of those watching in the clearing relaxed.

Finally, after some more minutes the figure of the Radiant Salamander was revealed. However, that species name was only known to Kain, since it was the first of its kind that they knew of, the members of the Ashenclaw family selected a name themselves and eventually settled on Cinderlight Salamander.

After participating in a celebratory dinner in which they all thanked Kain for his work, and he was given the promised orange-grade spiritual creatures for Bea to feed on and complete the mission. Alaina escorted him to the front door of the manor.

"By the way Alaina, by any chance have you ever met a Solarflare Drakeling?" Just before leaving the manor Kain was finally unable to repress his curiosity about Yara's potential father.

"Yes. Our former neighbours across the pond at the back of our property had one. Why?" She asked in confusion.

'The neighbour? Tsk tsk.'

"No reason," Kain said while making sure to have no changes in his face or tone, "I've just been researching a lot of fire and light attribute lizard-type creatures lately for Yara and I became curious about it because they're so rare."

Alaina didn't question him anymore about the uninteresting topic. "By the way, I hope you don't mind, but my parents were so excited at the prospect of Yara successfully evolving that they told some of their friends after the last time you came about your gift.

People weren't too interested at the time since Yara hadn't evolved yet, but once word gets out that you did manage to accomplish what the previous planners had been unable to, you may be contacted for some more help requests."

'I suppose that's not so bad… but I should probably keep the details about this so-called gift vague if more people will be taking an interest in it.'

"I don't mind… it can't be that many people anyways that need help. Instances like Yara's are pretty rare. See you again when it's time for Yara's next evolution!"

Kain waved his hand nonchalantly and then headed back to the station. This quick trip hadn't even taken a day.

Finally, he could focus on the most important task at hand with the sudden influx of credits—getting Bea to evolve.

However, once Kain re-arrived at the college he was shocked by the sudden barrage of mission requests being specifically sent to him through the school. There must have been dozens.

'There's no way that all of these people have problems that other planners can't solve.' He strongly suspected that some of these so-called missions were just pretenses to find away to make contact with him. For what purpose? He didn't know and he didn't care.

He had no desire to waste his valuable time preparing for the re-ranking to just socialize with some annoying rich people curious about his gift. He'll have to carefully comb through each request to see if he can filter out the few that actually need his help.

Maybe using his 'gift' he can create a greater reputation for himself as a planner, which will help once the Lumifin evolution is launched. Additionally, if he becomes highly desired as a planner then even if he ignores many of these people now they'd still be eager to meet him in the future.

Kain now had 3 plans for wealth: the spiritual beer company, creating evolutionary patents, and fulfilling challenging missions for planners.
