Become a super charger

"Oh...Xiaoyun, do you want it?" Ibaraki said while holding something that was already blurred in my eyes.

"No... no thanks..." What is that? I can't see it clearly. Thank you. I don't want to know what it is.

"What about you, little guy?" Ibaraki tried to seduce Lanlan again.

And the way Lan Lan stepped lightly on her front hooves...

"No...it doesn't need to thank you, Lanlan! Come here!" He called for it to stay away from Ibaraki, so as to avoid being fed something strange by Ibaraki.

It's a unicorn! It's an animal that eats fruit and stuff, please don't ruin its image.

"Hiss... Why don't you eat such good things..." Ibaraki said, putting some processed meat on sticks and placing them next to the fire.

You also know that it should be roasted before eating, right?

My sense of smell vaguely reminded me that there was a bloody smell in the air, which was the blood of the animal that Ibaraki had just dealt with.

"Wait...Ibaraki, won't you attract some other animals by doing this?"

Right! Isn't it said that the smell of blood in the wild will attract predators? Although this is a different world, I think this theory can also be applied.

"Others? Not really. Non-aggressive animals won't come over. The aggressive ones are all large creatures, basically the same fighting beasts you saw today." Ibaraki said as he propped up the peeled fur with some branches.

When the fur is spread out, it is quite large, almost half the size of a person.

"We are now in the territory of those large creatures. There are no predators other than them here."

"Why?" The only explanation I could think of was territorial awareness.

"You may know what territorial awareness is. The large creatures living in this place all have a territory. They are very intelligent and almost never allow other predators to appear in their territory. However, these herbivorous animals can live well." Ibaraki turned over the grilled meat.

"They are raising these grazing animals, and their territory is their own pasture, so they will never allow some poachers to come in."

"Uh... so if you steal its animals, wouldn't it be wrong..."

"No... they won't notice one or two disappearing."

"Hiss... So they are quite intelligent, right? Then you..."

"Yes, but it's not the intelligence you imagine..."

"what?"

"You think they can communicate, and are more intelligent than me, right?"

"Uh... not exactly..." I was thinking why only Ibaraki had such a high intelligence.

In those few hours it displayed such extraordinary intelligence that I felt it was a human in disguise.

I have seen fighting beasts before. I don't think it has a very high intelligence, but its strength makes Ibaraki avoid it. It is stronger than Ibaraki, but not as intelligent as Ibaraki.

According to what Ibaraki said, the more powerful people are in this world, the higher their IQs are. So Ibaraki is very unusual.

"Because I have mastered... evolution..."

"Evolution?" Ibaraki is not a variant of the inferior ghost, but has he evolved...

"That's right... evolution. Because of evolution, I got rid of my ignorance. I know that intelligence is what species need to evolve most."

"Uh..."

"I know how to continue evolving. Xiaoyun, you are also an intelligent creature. Your intelligence may be even higher than mine. So, do you want to evolve together?" Ibaraki said, picking up the half-cooked piece of meat in front of him and biting into it.

"I roughly know what your situation is...but I think we humans have evolved to perfection, thank you, so you should just evolve on your own..."

How can creatures in this world evolve... Digimon? Pokémon?

In short, Ibaraki's evolution is quite powerful. It feels like the level in the game has increased from level 1 to the maximum level as if with cheats.

It can be said that it is close to the maximum level.

Chapter 150: Beast Core

Ibaraki ended up eating all the meat of the unknown creature himself.

It kept asking me if I wanted to eat something, ah... forget it.

Let’s talk about it later...I just don’t have any appetite and can’t eat.

In this makeshift camp, I spent an uncomfortable night because I couldn't sleep well with just some leaves as a cushion, which resulted in my poor sleep.

I was reluctant to take out some clothes from my backpack and put them on the ground, as I felt bad about it, so I had to spend an uncomfortable night.

Compared to me, Ibaraki was very peaceful. I couldn't help waking up several times in the middle of the night, but this guy slept like a dead pig.

Sleeping so soundly, don't you have any sense of crisis?

Then I noticed that Lanlan was sleeping standing up...

He just fell asleep standing facing a tree without moving.

How did you fall asleep...

"It feels so uncomfortable..." I was walking in a certain direction in the forest, rubbing my shoulders, stretching my body, and feeling like I was about to fall apart.

Only then did I realize how important a comfortable sleeping environment is.

Otherwise, I would wake up with a sore back. No wonder I had to do homework during lunch break in school...

"Ibaraki, what is the evolution method you mentioned..." I asked Ibaraki about this out of boredom.

Being able to evolve from that kind of creature into this, Ibaraki's method of evolution is undoubtedly very strange.

That's like forcibly raising a low-star card to the rank of a high-level card in a card game.

But no matter how much it has been improved, it is still a low-star card in essence.

"Are you interested?" Ibaraki said as he jumped onto the road ahead.

"No... I'm just curious..."

"Hey, believe me, you will definitely be interested..."

"Look, what's the difference between me and those bad ghosts?"

"Different... You are smarter, and... faster? And stronger..."

The difference between Ibaraki and those inferior ghosts probably lies in these points. Moreover, it has a deeper way of thinking. It can think like humans, instead of having only low-level logical behavior like those inferior ghosts.

It can be said that Ibaraki has already escaped from the species of inferior ghosts. The only thing that is similar to inferior ghosts is the appearance.

"Yes, I have surpassed the race of inferior ghosts." It said while patting the various furs covering its body.

"I gained intelligence, knowledge, and strength." Ibaraki swung his claws and left a large claw mark on the tree.

"It all started with something I ate that day..."

"It's... like a fruit this big." Ibaraki said while holding a walnut-sized fruit.

"Fruit?" Is eating its way of evolution?

"Yes, I was just a low-level ghost, but after eating that thing, I gained a lot."

"Are you curious about where it came from?" Ibaraki asked.

"Well, you say." This thing is probably not that easy to get... Otherwise, every creature would evolve like this...

"Among the knowledge that thing gave me, a small part mentioned its origin."

"That kind of advanced creatures, or...more advanced monsters, their core in their bodies is that thing, so I call it the beast core."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." I interrupted it and sorted out some things that suddenly popped up in my head.

Beast core...Okay, okay, it's actually something from novels and comics.

Ah... So it ate the beast core of some unlucky person? And the function of this beast core is to store the energy and certain knowledge of the original owner, right?

So after Ibaraki eats it, he will suddenly evolve into a species that has nothing to do with the evil spirits, right?

"The beast core has great power. It allows me to evolve and then..."

"Stop, stop, stop... I understand. I know what it's used for, but you... that kind of thing should have a lot of energy. How... how did you digest it?"

I don't understand... Isn't this kind of thing hard to absorb? Do you need to make it into a pill or something? If you can't digest it, will it explode on the spot?

That Izuki...

"This... I don't know. Anyway, I completely absorbed that thing, and gained a lot. I think if I find some more of this kind of thing, I can evolve again. From your looks, is your race the same?"

"No, no, no... It's completely different, thank you... We... We were born this way, um... Just think of it as us being born this way."

I understand Ibaraki's way of thinking. No wonder the way it speaks always seems strange. It seems like it understands everything, but at the same time knows nothing.

It simply says what it knows in its head, and it doesn't even know what it means.

For example, regarding the issue of race, it thinks that I am a low-level race like the inferior ghosts because of my small size. It still believes that only those with large bodies are high-level races.

The beast core forcibly raised Ibaraki's IQ, and probably also gave it a lot of memories and other things, which allowed it, a lowly ghost with little intelligence, to evolve like a human.

The owner of that beast core must be a very high-level guy, at least he should be able to communicate.

"Huh?" Izuku was confused by what I said.

It probably had no relevant information about humans, so it was difficult for it to understand why a skinny race like me could have such high intelligence, which was why it wanted to get close to me in the first place.

I see...Does it think I'm a low-level species like it?

"Okay, don't think too much. I roughly understand the situation. If there is a chance, I can help you get some beast cores."

Its evolution is probably not complete yet. The beast core has forcibly raised its rank, but it is still a bad ghost.

Hiss...If this guy continues to evolve...

"Well, originally I was thinking about whether I could use traps to try to kill those advanced creatures...wait...run..." Ibaraki said and grabbed me and ran into the dense woods.

"Why are you running?" I broke free from its claws and let it run forward two steps on its own.

I heard the sound of the ground shaking. Something was running towards here. It was very big and heavy. If I was not mistaken, it should be the guy that Ibaraki called a fighting beast.

"What are you doing? Such a big noise! ​​It must be a fighting beast! This area is its territory, run!" Ibaraki said anxiously. It couldn't fight the fighting beast, so it thought that I, who was of equal strength, couldn't fight it either, so it had to run.

"I told you, I'm not afraid of that guy."

After stretching my wrist, I kicked Lan Lan who was beside my leg.

"Go over there." It obediently moved further away.

Unicorns should be an advanced species. After all, Ibaraki is so scared, but Lanlan doesn't show any fear at all. This is enough to show that unicorns are a very advanced species.

Advanced, definitely advanced. Isn’t unicorn advanced?

"Huh... Since you're coming for me, I won't be polite."

ps: I didn't notice that I had forgotten to post this chapter. I only saw it after playing games for a while. Sorry for being late.

Chapter 151, Star Rating

"Boom!!"

After a muffled sound, the monster was knocked flying into the woods nearby by my punch.

It roared and crashed into many trees along the way before it finally stopped.

There was no way. The monster that was difficult to fight and even required escape in Ibaraki's eyes was nothing more than a fragile paper toy in my eyes. I didn't even use much strength in that attack just now.

The monster's body rolled over and crushed a large number of trees, also stirring up a lot of dust. It struggled and roared in the mess, but it was not dead yet.

"Okay, come out, Ibaraki, did you see it?" I already saw the expression I wanted on Ibaraki's face.

Its humanoid face is still capable of expressing surprise.

"How about it?"

"Very...how...why do you have such a..." Ibaraki thought, it didn't know how to express what it saw.
