My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 78 Luck is off the charts! Gacha pull! (Please read on!!!)

Zhou Lu agreed to Xiaoqing's request without hesitation.

This is just a small project...

Zhou Lu expressed his doubts.

Even if it's a small project, it might end up being turned into a big one by Sister Xiaoqing.

Zhou Lu didn't dwell on this issue for too long; all he could think about was going back to draw cards.

The system gave him a lot of skill cards, which he used a few times, but the skills he got were all mediocre.

These are all skills that are optional.

But the second order is a different story.

After evolving to the second tier, spirit pets can learn B-rank skills. At Xiaoxi's place, the price of these skill cards has increased several times over.

Furthermore, starting from Rank B, skills begin to have multiple attribute bonuses, resulting in higher damage and making it easier to counter enemies.

Zhou Lu has a total of six B-grade permanent skill cards.

Three of them came from the "Kill Wu Xiaoqing" mission, which was the reward given by the system for completing 90% of the mission when Wu Xiaoqing ate the poisonous mushroom.

The other three cards came from the "Steal Vermilion Bird's Dung" quest, which was completed and gave the full reward.

As for the other rewards for failing a mission, they are mostly C-level skill cards, which are not Zhou Lu's focus this time.

Of course, if you're not satisfied with the skill cards you get, it doesn't mean they're useless.

Some skills, like fireworks, can still be learned.

Zhou Lu also learned about a black market for some skills through Wu Xiaoqing.

Although it's called a black market, it's really just a forum for bartering. Unlike Xiaoxi, it doesn't check the production time of skill cards, and the information of buyers and sellers is kept confidential.

Zhou Lu returned to his dormitory and put the fireworks down.

As soon as the fireworks landed, she began diligently cleaning the house.

This time, it didn't even use any tools. Its sticky roots crawled across the ground, carrying away all the dust and dirt.

Next, Hanabi used vines to peel the solidified sap from the roots, and the cleaning was done.

Sure enough, after learning how to use the slime, Hanabi's combat skills improved, though her housework skills definitely did.

"You're back?" Hearing the noise from this house, Xiaoxi from next door opened the small door in the wall and peeked out.

Fireworks waved its vines and greeted Xiaoxi in a friendly manner.

Of course, its main purpose was actually to show off the flowers it had grown to Xiaoxi.

Xiao Xi's gaze lingered on the flowers of the firework for a moment, her expression somewhat complicated: "You really have evolved... Nine-Lives Immortal Herb."

"Of course," Zhou Lu said meaningfully, "It's the Nine-Lives Immortal Herb, which evolved from the Dream Rain Flower."

Xiao Xi naturally knew what Zhou Lu was talking about. She flapped her wings and flew to Zhou Lu, patting his shoulder with her little hand:

"【Absorbing】+【Fooling】Sigh! Looking forward to the birth of the next superstar!"

"Racial skills aren't so easy to acquire." Zhou Lu humbly responded to Xiao Xi's compliment, then took out the Dream Stone. "I found this in the Frozen Lands."

"Dream-Manifesting Stone?" As expected of a knowledgeable fairy, Xiaoxi recognized the Dream-Manifesting Stone at a glance.

"I wonder if this will enhance the evolution bonus of the Frozen Land?" Zhou Lu asked Xiao Xi.

"Dream Stones have the ability to increase the luck of the wearer. If there were a large deposit of Dream Stones, it might actually have a certain effect," Xiaoxi studied. "It's strange... if there really was such an important deposit, how come the geological experts of the Pioneer Army didn't discover it?"

Zhou Lu's expression shifted slightly: "Is the Dream Stone a very important mineral deposit?"

"It's not very practical, but it's food for the Nightmare of Death," Xiaoxi said. "The Nightmare of Death in the Veterans' Home has had a poor appetite for the past ten years or so, and the nursing team has been looking for Dream Stones for it."

Veterans Home...a nightmare of death...

"Wait a minute, let me verify this a little," Xiaoxi said, closing her eyes.

Its body emits a faint blue light, which is a manifestation of the knowledgeable fairy communicating with the Seeking Tree.

According to Wu Xiaoqing, Xiaoxi should have been gathering and searching for all the information about the Arctic Ice Land at this time.

When Xiaoxi opened her eyes again, her gaze was somewhat puzzled: "Strange... Over the past ten years or so, many explorers have reported on the Arctic Ice Land, and the characteristics of these reports match those of the Dream Stone deposit. Why hasn't anyone thought of this?"

Xiaoxi frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

Immediately, Zhou Lu noticed a slight shift in her expression, as if she had thought of something.

However, she didn't tell Zhou Lu these thoughts, and then snapped her fingers.

Immediately, Zhou Lu's phone rang.

He picked up his phone and saw a text message notifying him that three fairy coins had been deposited into his account.

"This is your payment," Xiao Xi said to Zhou Lu.

"In that case... other people should also be able to know that there are Dream Stones in the Frozen Lands through you, right?" Zhou Lu asked.

Xiao Xi glanced at Zhou Lu: "As long as you don't publish any articles or papers, no one will be so bored as to ask me this. Even the nursing team, who are most concerned about the Dream Stone, didn't ask us about the Dream Stone deposits for the last time, which was three years ago."

"But what use is the Dream Stone to you? The luck bonus is very mysterious."

It's used to conquer the Nightmare of Death...

Zhou Lu did not say those words aloud.

At that moment, the vines of the fireworks planted a cup of hot tea and presented it to Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi reached out and hugged the teacup: "Thank you."

Fireworks patted the leaves and then handed another cup of tea to Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu subconsciously glanced at the contents, fearing that Hua Huo might accidentally soak its own petals inside.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Zhou Lu sat down at the table and took out the Dream Stone, placing it aside.

Since Xiaoxi said this thing has a luck boost, I'll believe her this time.

Before drawing the card, he specifically asked Xiaoxi for a list of B-rank grass and poison skills, and selected a few skills as his targets.

Not only that.

Considering his consistently bad luck, Zhou Lu decided that he must maximize his luck in this card draw!

Activate [Body Feeding] to increase Hanabi's luck value by 100%!

Then activate [Feedback] to grant yourself a 30% luck bonus from Fireworks!

Although [Body Feeding] will reduce your attributes by 30%, the Luck bonus from [Reciprocal Feeding] is obviously greater than the Luck reduction from [Body Feeding].

He made a profit from the difference between the two prices.

After doing all this, Zhou Lu decisively clicked on the card.

Let's start drawing cards!

First shot! [Plant mimicry].

[Plant Mimicry]: Rank B skill. You can disguise yourself or your offshoots as the surrounding plants.

A very good skill that can make Fireworks a super old silver coin.

It seems that the luck bonus really works!

Let's go for a second shot!

Zhou Lu decisively clicked on the second skill card.

The skill card flipped over, revealing its contents:

[Poisonous Ivy]: Rank B skill. Your vines are highly poisonous. Any entity hit or entangled by your vines will be poisoned, taking poison damage equal to 5% of its own HP per second. (Duration depends on attribute advantage and level difference, maximum 5 seconds)
