You agreed to farm together, but you secretly went to guard the beast?

After an unknown amount of time, just as Qian Qi was about to fall asleep while banging his head, Xi Pingzhe snapped his dislocated wrist back into place and said to Qian Qi, "Master, Master, the Beast Master won't let me play anymore."

Qian Qi was dazed for a moment, then suddenly woke up. "Huh, all done smoking?"

She looked at the system panel and found it filled with all the rewards she had drawn, but not a single piece of Black Tiger Beast droppings.

"Hahaha!" Qian Qi couldn't help but laugh, "After smoking so much stuff, baby, is there nothing left in your stomach but poop?"

system:【……】

Xi Pingzhe, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Master, what kind of game are you playing? If you draw a card, the boss of the contracted beast will give you something it has swallowed?"

"Yes, yes, that's right! It just loves that. It will do anything to get me to spank it. As its owner, I have no choice but to give in to it!"

Xi Pingzhe suddenly realized, and he sincerely said to the system, "Boss Beast Contract, if you want to be drained in the future, you can come to me, I'll do it for free!"

Qian Qi: "Hahahaha—"

System: ...You brat! How dare you be so presumptuous! I even said you were polite before!

Seeing Qian Qi laughing so hard she could barely breathe, even letting out a goose-like quack, the system, enraged, smacked her on the head. [Believe it or not, I'll spit out all the rewards I just drew and bury you alive!]

"Alright, alright, I won't laugh anymore." Qian Qi straightened his expression and began to look at what rewards the little koi Xiping Zhe had drawn for him.

Besides the evolution materials from many A-rank magical beasts, there are also various precious materials from A-rank or S-rank magical beasts. Whether you embed them in weapons or feed them to your contracted beasts, they will be very effective.

There were also a few S-grade magical plant fruits, which were collected into the treasure cave by the Fire Stream Dragon because they were shiny.

Qian Qi used his analysis technique, which he hadn't used for free three times a day for a long time.

[Plant Name: Seven-Colored Fruit]
Belongs to the magic plant: colorful rose vine

Rank: S

Effect: Can quickly replenish depleted mental energy in a short time, up to SS-level mental energy.

[Name of the magical plant:]
Belongs to the magic plant: Black Magic Fruit

Rank: S

Effect: Its sap contains unparalleled energy, but you mustn't let your summoned beasts overindulge!

[Plant Name: Crystal Snake Fruit]
Belongs to: Crystal Thunder Serpent Tree

Rank: S+
Effect: After consumption, it can cause any Thunder-type Serpent Beast with an evolution level of S or lower to evolve horizontally or vertically once.

"Hmm, these are all good stuff," Qian Qi mused.

Qian Xiaohun's mental strength is far beyond S-level. Qian Qi conservatively guesses that it may be the peak of S-level or SS-level. If she encounters a powerful enemy beast like the Golden Black Tiger Beast in the future, even if her mental strength is exhausted, she can eat this Seven-Colored Essence Fruit and quickly restore all her mental strength.

The Black Demon Fruit appears to be a fruit that can enhance the strength level of magical beasts, but the label "cannot be greedy" makes Qian Qi somewhat cautious, and he dares not feed it to his contracted beasts.

If it explodes while eating it, it would be a huge loss.

As for this crystal snake fruit...

"What does it mean to evolve horizontally or vertically once?" Qian Qi asked curiously.

Vertical evolution means upgrading your evolution level from A-level to S-level. Not only do you gain one more skill, but your maximum strength level can also be raised to the peak of S-level.

[Horizontal evolution means that the evolution level remains A-level, but at the same time, another A-level attribute is evolved, becoming a dual-attribute A-level magical beast, possessing 10 A-level skills. However, the maximum strength level remains the peak of A-level and will not change.]

[I highly recommend horizontal evolution. If trained properly and the two attributes fuse well, you can even develop a dual-attribute fusion skill, which is equivalent to having up to 35 different beast skills! And it won't hinder your later evolution into a dual S-rank magical beast! Although it's a bit more troublesome to raise, you still have me!]

Qian Qi's lips twitched. "You only said you recommend horizontal evolution, but does this Crystal Snake Fruit allow you to freely choose between vertical and horizontal evolution?" System: [No, it can't.]

Qian Qi: Then why did you fart?

[Who do you plan to feed the Crystal Snake Fruit to?] The system was more concerned about this question, since it concerned what information it would sell to Qian Qi in the future.

"Do I have any other choice?" Qian Qi spread his hands. "Don't even mention the eldest brother. He's useless except as a brick. The third brother, Qian Ba, is a complete idiot. Feeding him would be a waste. The third brother, Mo Ya, and the fourth brother, Bai Ji, both have rather special attributes. They're already very difficult to raise. Adding a dual-attribute brother would just be a disaster."

As for the sixth one, Venom, it goes without saying that he's always missing, and she has no idea where to look for him.

Only the second son, A-Tu, who had not yet been contracted by her, remained.

However, the Flamehound's evolution limit is only A-rank. Even if you feed it a Crystal Serpent Fruit, it will never become a dual-attribute S-rank magical beast.

If it's unlucky enough to evolve vertically, this Crystal Snake Fruit will be completely useless.

"This is terrible?" Qian Qi exclaimed in surprise. "Shouldn't we have switched from vertical to horizontal if the vertical method failed?"

Don't get your hopes up.

"Tsk, let's take another look." Qian Qi waved his hand and continued looking at the rewards on the system panel. "Hmm, the rest are all regular rewards, huh?"

Her fingers, which were resting on the panel, paused, and then she stared in astonishment. "What is this?"

【Humph. 】

"What is this, mwah mwah mwah—"

【Hehe.】

"My God! System! Is this real? Am I seeing things? Am I really not seeing things?"

Qian Qi shouted in his heart, "Defend against a fatal attack once!"

[Hmph hmph hmph~!]

"What a useless reward!" Qian Qi thought to himself. "Don't you usually shield me from fatal attacks?! You just freeloaded three million from me like this?!"

[Now you know how good I've been to you...?] The system paused, then erupted in fury, [Qian Qi! Who took advantage of you for free! Don't you even understand—]

Do you understand the significance of withstanding a fatal attack? It's something else entirely!
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just three million. Consider it a gift to the system~" Qian Qi touched the system panel. To her, a single crystal snake fruit was worth 3000 billion, not to mention the nearly a thousand high-level treasures that were also included.

A mere three million is nothing but a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.

"Come on, System, let's go home!" Qian Qi picked up the system, in a good mood. "I'll give you another wash with shower gel when we get home, make you smell nice~ make you smell nice~"

The system roared: [Dog Money Seven, don't pinch me under your armpits!]

After giving Qian Qi a few bricks, the system couldn't help but laugh as it watched him grin, revealing his white teeth and squinting his eyes, just like the innocent and energetic Qian Qi was when he used to be so cheeky.

That's it.

As long as it knows what that fatal blow means.

Moreover, who can guarantee that the fatal blow will definitely occur?
As Qian Qi turned around, the smile in his eyes disappeared.

She clenched her fist slightly.

A fatal blow...? (End of Chapter)
