While it was bustling outside, Lu Yu had just arrived home. However, this time, the mouse, unusually, did not immediately lie down on the sofa to relax, but instead put on its battle robe.
It wore a silver crown to tie its hair up, a hundred-flower battle robe, Tang Ni armor, and a lion-man treasure belt. The entire set of equipment, except for the small harpoon formed from the Thousand Faces Touch, was made by the little spider and was known as the Lu Rat Set.
Ever since the mouse learned about Lü Bu from him, it has been pestering him to tell it related stories.
However, the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms is too long, and Lu Yu had forgotten some things. Also, in order to be lazy, he simply combined various versions and created a version of Lu Bu as a demon descending to earth, who slaughtered his way through the Three Kingdoms, established a demon kingdom on earth, and lived a shameless and carefree life with Diao Chan.
then……
The mouse became a complete Lu Bu fan.
"Could this also be considered a form of proselytizing...?"
Lu Yu mentally complained, feeling dizzy from being shaken by the mouse. He glanced at the smiling little spider beside him and couldn't help but sigh.
Just spoil it!
Lu Yu was unaware that the little spider was using its mental perception to consider how well the mouse figurine's clothes fit. It thought that it could dress up the figurine when it became its owner, and a smile crept onto its face at the thought…
"Tch! You little Starlight Mist Demon, you can't even withstand one of my punches, you didn't even need to use my signature slide tackle..."
The mouse glared at everyone with an imposing air, looking down on everyone as if they were worthless. Then it swaggered around a few more times, as if to say, "Praise me!" It had the air of a fisherman who would pass by his home three times without going in.
Finally, tired from playing, it sat down on the ground and sighed:
"It's a pity my Diao Chan ship isn't here..."
"Where did you get Diao Chan from?" Lu Yu was also a little puzzled. Besides, what would you, a female rat, need Diao Chan for?
The mouse scratched its head, looking embarrassed, and whispered:
"It's actually the Red Hare, but I felt the name didn't sound good, so I changed it to the Diao Chan."
It's not a matter of whether it sounds good or bad. Besides, it's fine to say this name normally, and it's okay for real people to use this name. They can even wrap it around their waist. But when it's used on a motorcycle, it's a bit against the rules!
You can say you rode the Red Hare, but you can't say you rode...
Lu Yu put his hand to his forehead, but considering that the mouse had performed well today, he decided not to discourage it. He started preparing things to make the skill-based secret food later.
The mouse watched Lu Yu's busy figure, its dark eyes gleaming. Actually...
It just lied!
The Red Hare was never renamed.
In the story of Xiu Ren, Diao Chan saved the demonized Lü Bu and stayed by his side no matter what, becoming a ray of light in his life.
Xiu Ren is also the light of the rat, and is its Diao Chan.
So it will keep trying... just like Lu Bu, trying its best to protect Xiu Ren!
Lu Yu was unaware of all this and directly entered the Creator Space, returning to the Chaos World once again, transforming into the Thousand-Handed Demon God.
Using the Primal Forge, he effortlessly created a mid-level skill concoction – [Curse of Corruption].
One of the myriad curses, it can accelerate the decay and suppuration of flesh and blood, but it has no effect on mechanical or incorporeal creatures.
In comparison, the higher-level [Rust] curse can cause rust to grow on machines and can also cause tetanus in the wounds of flesh-and-blood creatures, making it much more versatile. Unfortunately...
Lu Yu couldn't afford it.
He returned to reality with the new skill food, fed it to the little spider, and opened the Eye of Truth. There was still a curse mark below the [Spirit Puppet Curse Line].
The skill's power has increased significantly, and it can spread the [Corruption Curse] through invisible spiritual threads. However, to advance it to a super-tier skill, it needs to collect more curse-type skills for enhancement.
In addition, the proficiency of the [Spirit Puppet Spell Thread] is not high enough, only at the master level of 17%, which is far from perfect.
Once the Spider Silk skill reaches its peak, one must begin to improve it with all one's might, striving to one day transform it into the Thread of Destiny, turning millions of living beings into puppets in one's hands.
And now that we have the money, we can start planning the Spider-Man Gundam project. Even if we don't have the full version, a Pinduoduo version would be nice too.
After the little spiders finished dividing the food, the mouse straightened up, its ears perked up, its dark eyes filled with anticipation, and it stretched out its little paws.
Xiuren isn't a greyhound; he satisfied Spider Sister, so now it's time to satisfy it too.
"Alright, you won't be shortchanged."
Lu Yu rolled his eyes, but he had always been fair in this regard. He took out the Netherworld Soil and let the Rat summon the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
Ding!
The shadow stretched out, reflecting a desolate, ghostly world. The sapling-like Soul Tree stood quietly in this barren, scorched earth, its condition neither good nor bad.
After all, without sufficient spiritual nourishment, simply relying on symbiosis with the hamster won't result in rapid growth, let alone flowering and fruiting.
"It seems I still need to go to secret realms or wilderness to collect some souls to nourish the Soul Tree, since it's related to the growth of my spiritual power..."
Lu Yu pondered. Although having a forbidden position to suppress all spiritual power would not cause a backlash, being unaffected and being able to use it well are two completely different things.
Advancing as a Beastmaster requires enhancing one's mental strength and spiritual energy, using mental strength to control spiritual energy. He has two monarch-level cubs who absorb and convert spiritual energy, essentially two super-powerful cheat codes constantly providing experience.
As for mental strength, there's nothing that can be done; the related resources are ridiculously expensive, so you still have to rely on Soul Fruits to accelerate it.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu handed the small box containing the Netherworld Soil to the mouse, which happily ran over and poured it onto the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
Chi Chi!
Soon, these special underground soils merged into this desolate world, exuding a tranquil aura, as if a peaceful place to soothe all the dead.
"Xiu Ren, the Soul Tree has grown!"
The mouse reminded him, and Lu Yu nodded, naturally noticing that the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree had grown a little.
If such a small amount of necrotic soil can have an effect, wouldn't it be possible to grow it into a large tree very quickly if it could be piled up like fertilizer every day?
The trees will be laden with countless Soul Fruits, and we can eat our fill every day!
Lu Yu was thrilled at the thought of it and decided that he could take on some missions related to the Underworld Order in the future to farm materials directly.
The mouse was also very happy about this, feeling that its proficiency with the Thousand Faces Soul Tree had increased by 20%, reaching the beginner level of 68%.
The stronger the Soul Tree, the stronger it becomes.
When the results come, those who cultivate virtue will reap good rewards.
If you make me angry, I won't give you a good meal; I'll give you fruit that the mouse has already bitten!
Finally, Lu Yu had Little Spider take out the huge Void Stone. After feeling the aura emanating from it up close, Little Spider frowned slightly.
It's really... too filthy.
At first glance, this thing is definitely garbage.
But trash is just treasure that hasn't been put in the right place.
If sorted properly, waste can be turned into treasure.
The impurities in Void Stones are negative substances left behind by spatial turbulence over the years. They are essentially a type of spatial fragment, only more scattered and chaotic.
Generally, Void-type pets will not choose to devour such things, as it is easy to pollute their own spirituality and affect their potential.
Lu Yu certainly didn't intend to use it himself. His body wasn't strong enough to chew on rocks, nor was it meant for the little spider to absorb. Even if it worked itself to death, it would only yield a tiny bit of valuable void spiritual energy, and it would easily pollute itself.
His real purpose is...
Void Mother Nest!
The Void Nest, a super-tier skill, can create two types of slave beasts. The first type is the Blood Erosion Insect, which originated from the native gods of the small world. It is born with a low-level life-giving technique and can absorb the life force of all things to create life bubbles.
Lu Yu's ability to engage in frequent battles and achieve numerous results is largely due to these life bubbles. However, their growth rate is too slow, and it will take some time to process the life bubbles into life honey.
Therefore, the Blood-Eating Insect is positioned as a support unit and cannot directly increase combat power, which requires the use of the second type of slave beast.
The Blinking Spider, a spatial creature, possesses the ability to blink, allowing it to attack through space, making it an excellent assassin-type slave beast.
Although Void Ore has many drawbacks, it is also a condensation of Void Energy, and it is enough to use it to create slave beasts.
As for whether it will affect potential?
Lu Yu simply smiled without saying a word.
What is a slave beast?
They are exactly what they sound like; essentially, they are the servants and slaves of the little spiders. They don't have much intelligence; they are just a group of tools that obey orders.
Even if it dies, it can create a new one, and as the mother nest is upgraded, the quality and quantity of the slave beasts it breeds will continue to improve.
Instead of getting caught up in such pointless thoughts, it's better to directly convert them into immediate combat power, while also improving the proficiency of the mother nest.
Moreover, considering the price of space fragments, it saves at least several million.
"Waaah!"
After hearing this, the little spider understood its master's thoughts, nodded, and untied the nebula cross in its hand. A giant, black cloud-like maw floated out from it and descended, constantly writhing, like a dark nebula devouring life-bearing planets.
It slowly floated over, bit down on the Void Stone, and then...
It wasn't bitten off!
"..."
Lu Yu put his hand to his forehead, almost forgetting that his proficiency with the Void Mother Nest was indeed not high, only 80% of the proficiency level, not even reaching the master level.
Digesting flesh and blood is not difficult, but digesting stones is indeed a bit difficult for it.
"How pitiful..."
The mouse looked pitiful. Not only did it not get any good food, but it was also occasionally fed stones. Luckily, it didn't have teeth, or they would have been crushed.
Fortunately, Xiuren didn't treat him like that, otherwise Shushu would really have "not been able to stay subservient to others for long" and had been betrayed by his adoptive father.
But thinking about it carefully, my soul tree eats soil, and the little spider eats stones...
What kind of "scraping the ground three feet deep" combo is this?!
"Eek..."
The little spider looked a bit embarrassed, but it quickly changed its approach and began to slowly erode the mother nest. After spending most of the day, it finally managed to crush the entire piece of raw rock and swallow it into the mother nest to begin digesting it.
hum!
As the vast void energy surged, the mother nest behind the void rift also writhed like a living thing, mysterious and eerie.
About twenty minutes later, the mother nest finally finished digesting. Lu Yu was expecting the blinking spiders to fly out, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.
"Eek!"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the call, Lu Yu turned around and saw that three spiders the size of small dogs had appeared next to the little spider.
Their bodies were like purple crystals, their spider legs as sharp as blades, gleaming with a cold light. The black traces left by void impurities created a special pattern on their bodies, making them look like death spiders that reap lives.
Each of them exuded the aura of a low-level elite, their eight purple eyes constantly darting around, searching for prey. Finally, their gaze fell upon the mouse, because…
It looks the weakest.
"Hiss!"
Upon seeing Lu Yu, the Blinking Spiders prostrated themselves in submission. The little spiders were their Void Queen, and the Queen's master was the ruler.
"Such terrifying stealth ability..."
Lu Yu nodded, shocked. After these three little guys were born, they actually teleported silently through space and arrived next to the little spider.
When facing this monster, any lapse in concentration could result in splitting up and having to act separately.
Next, Lu Yu began testing the Blink Spider's abilities and obtained the following data:
They can blink more than ten times within a thirty-meter range. Their spider legs are their weapons, easily cutting through stone and iron. Furthermore, because too many void impurities were incorporated into their creation materials, although their potential was damaged, they carried a large amount of void toxins. Once they cut through flesh, the flesh would crystallize.
Moreover, being only possessing basic intelligence, they can only perfectly execute commands, and therefore have no murderous intent, allowing them to perfectly conceal their presence.
Each one is a top-tier assassin!
In addition, they can carry an object weighing up to ten kilograms to blink and jump; any more than that will affect their blinking distance and number of jumps.
This ability seems somewhat redundant and completely useless due to the existence of the Void Chest, but upon closer inspection, there is actually a lot of room for development within it.
For example, the blinking spiders could carry large amounts of explosives and, in conjunction with spatial blinking, carry out targeted blasts, making them impossible to defend against.
Art is an explosion.
In this way, half of the pet's level-up was completed. The remaining half was to stay in the Nightmare Prison to improve skill proficiency, since they were about to go to the Dragon's Secret Realm and there was no guarantee that there would be any accidents while doing the mission.
Try to get the first skill to reach the [Peak] level.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu took out his phone, which had automatically shut down due to a dead battery, charged it, and prepared to create a three-day training plan.
Never fight a battle you're not prepared for!
"Ding ding ding ding..."
However, the moment he turned on the phone, a series of messages and missed calls made him almost think his phone was infected with a virus.
However, after a brief pause, the phone started working again.
I clicked in and looked through it. Most of the messages were mentions in various class groups and work groups, praising his pet and so on. Some people were even asking if he could share some tips on how to become stronger.
At first, Lu Yu thought the news of the battle had spread throughout the school, so he didn't take it seriously and thought it would calm down soon.
However, the inquiries didn't stop; instead, a whole bunch of people started adding him as a friend. Among them were members of several large adventure groups and breeder associations. Some invited him to join, while others wanted to inquire about the Black Wild Ant and were willing to pay a high price for its evolution path, etc.
Eventually, executives from entertainment companies even approached him, offering a hefty sum to star in an action film with the ant-like creature that was actually a mouse...
Don't get the wrong idea, it's a legitimate action movie.
They also said that if Lu Yu wanted, he could debut on the spot, get a makeover, and claim to be a beast tamer who has been training for two and a half years and is good at singing and dancing...
Lu Yu finally realized something was wrong; the school's information had been transmitted far too quickly.
So he looked through the chat history and found that Yu Xiyan had sent him a blessing and a video link.
It seems the reason lies in this video.
I have to say, chatting with Yu Xiyan is not only very comfortable, but also exceptionally considerate; she's practically a mind reader.
Now it's like a pillow being delivered to someone just when they're feeling sleepy.
But when you feel that someone is too considerate and perfect, it is often because he or she is using a superior approach.
"I'm probably overthinking it..."
Lu Yu muttered to himself, then clicked to take a look, his expression one of shock.
What am I doing...?
I'm angry!
