At this moment, Mo Qingchen looked at the experience bar, his expression shifting unpredictably.
According to his original plan, after contracting the guardian beast, he would let the beast level up quickly, then gain the feedback after its evolution, thus rapidly enhancing his own tier.
With the strength of his soul, as long as he reached Tier Two, he could definitely contract a new guardian beast.
He had been prepared for the new guardian beast for a long time.
The green-hat frog that had been nurtured in his [Abyss Pattern] Beast Taming Space since its awakening was indeed a world-class coordinate!
In that fleeting scene, there was a vast green grassland.
That unique Sheep Village, and the ultimate licking sheep with slightly dark skin that could give a push from behind, and the huge Wolf Castle that appeared at the end.
All these were deeply engraved in Mo Qingchen's memory.
The master of the Wolf Castle, ah, was an extraordinary good wolf who could never catch the little fat sheep but loved his wife immensely.
Especially since his intelligence was countless levels above that Marvel character who's cursed with knowledge.
Of course, Mo Qingchen also knew that characters in two-dimensional comics are irrational freaks.
So he had admired Grey Wolf for a long time, wishing he could immediately sign a contract with him to make him one of his guardian beasts!
But then, an unexpected event occurred.
Mo Qingchen did not expect that the Beastmaster's level would be so difficult to improve.
He wanted to elevate his tier in a short time before the Abyss forcibly summoned them into the newbie trial dungeon, but it might not be achievable.
Every year, apprentices awaken as Beastmasters on June 1st, and in the month they have to prepare, not a single guardian beast has managed to break through to Tier Four.
It's not that they can't break through; it's that they're restricted by the Abyssal Rules!
Because the Abyssal Rules do not allow an apprentice Beastmaster's guardian beast to become a Tier Four or above existence before entering the newbie trial dungeon.
As for letting the guardian beast break through to Tier Four after entering the newbie trial dungeon, it depends on the Beastmaster's abilities during the trial.
"Mo Jin, the three space backpacks are filled with rat monsters; let's call it a day."
Mo Qingchen patted the head of Mo Jin hanging on his neck. Seeing it squinting its black bean eyes, looking very pleased, he also showed a slight smile.
"Ssss~ Ssss~"
[Okay, let's go home!] Hearing Mo Jin's voice next to his ear, Mo Qingchen used telekinesis to push open a manhole cover above his head, then climbed out with his guardian beast.
"For the next few days, we don't have to push ourselves; we can relax a little."
The task of letting Mo Jin break through Tier One in seven days was completed. The next step was to get through seven days steadily and wait for its evolution to enhance its talent.
Although they could relax a bit, they still needed to keep grinding for money.
Who knows how much Dragon Coin would be required as a base for the next talent improvement scheme when Mo Jin evolves into the Iron Shell Insect?
If they didn't have enough money then, wouldn't it drive him nuts?
"Ssss~ Ssss~" [I want to train, to become stronger as soon as possible!]
Mo Jin swirled on Mo Qingchen's arm a few times and then came to his wrist, its small black eyes widened in complete seriousness.
"Alright, for the next few days, we'll both grind and conduct real combat training."
Mo Qingchen nodded; he was, of course, delighted to see Mo Jin have such a mindset.
For five consecutive days, one person and one insect roamed through the sewers under the South City Suburb during the day, both grinding and training.
At the end of the seven-day juvenile stage, a normal Unihorn Insect typically measures 0.3~0.4M in length.
However, Mo Jin, already at Level 10 and supplemented daily with nutrient substances, experienced a drastic increase in size, reaching a terrifying length of 1 meter!
This can no longer be called an insect; calling it a snake would be more fitting.
The sharp increase in size significantly boosted Mo Jin's four basic attributes.
Currently, through the training of the past few days, it progressed from initially tackling a Level 5 rat monster solo to eventually facing five Level 5 rat monsters and still being able to crush them.
This was mainly because Mo Jin's talent reached A-level, and the growth in attributes from this talent was significantly beyond what rat monsters surviving in the sewers—who lived precarious lives—could sustain.
One can say that Mo Jin, in its Unihorn Insect state, had expanded the basic attributes that A-level talent could potentially enhance to the maximum level for its current level.
And the conversion of its attributes into real combat strength could only be achieved through training and actual combat.
With Mo Qingchen escorting him and countless rat monsters serving as sparring partners, Mo Jin's combat capabilities surged significantly.
Silently, seven days passed in a blink.
"Mo Jin, are you ready?"
Mo Qingchen looked seriously at Mo Jin lying on the table and inquired.
"Ssss~ Ssss~" [Don't worry, I can do it!]
Mo Jin lifted its head, its small black eyes widened again, nodding thoughtfully.
"Good, do your best. You are the best, and you'll definitely advance to S-level talent this time!"
After cheering for Mo Jin, Mo Qingchen took out the Tier Three Energy Crystal Stones he had prepared earlier, placing three Insect Type on the left and three Poison Element on the right, then looked at Mo Jin, positioned in the center of the Crystal Stones, and cheered again.
Almost instantly, a massive golden light emerged from Mo Jin's body.
Numerous golden threads extended from its body, quickly winding around its exterior to form a large cocoon.
The dense golden light was not glaring but instead conveyed a sense of sanctity and warmth.
As the golden cocoon gradually solidified, Mo Jin's form started to change, eventually transforming into a golden chrysalis!
Evolution was successful!
[Exotic Beast Name: Mo Jin (Iron Shell Insect)]
[Talent: S (Epic)]
[Attributes: Insect Type, Poison Element]
[Level: Level 11]
[Talent: Poison Needle]
[Skills: Silk Spinning, Bullrush, Hard Armor]
[Loyalty: 100]
[PS: Through the light of evolution, break the talent limit, Monarch capital? Hah! I now have the capital of an Overlord!]
[Talent Upgrade to SS-level Scheme: Daily soak in ten jin of Great Needle Bee Queen Honey (a specialty of the Great Needle Bee clan), absorb three Tier Three Insect Type and Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones daily, maintain for seven days; when breaking the cocoon for evolution, support with three Tier Four Insect Type and Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones each! Break the bloodline limit, I can be the Emperor!]
Looking at the golden baby-like Mo Jin, Mo Qingchen thought the name was indeed well-chosen.
This evolution successfully upgraded its talent from A-level to S-level, while the [Eye of Truth] provided a scheme for further talent enhancement.
However, this scheme was a bit expensive.
Daily ten jin of [Great Needle Bee Queen Honey], requiring seven days' worth, would cost 63,000 Dragon Coins.
Daily three Tier Three Insect Type and Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones each, requiring seven days' worth, would cost 138,600 Dragon Coins.
Finally, three Tier Four Insect Type and Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones required during evolution would cost 39,600 Dragon Coins.
After calculating, a total of 241,200 Dragon Coins is required.
In these seven days of grinding, hunting over four hundred rat monsters, plus what was obtained in the sewage pool, the total income only amounted to 250,000 Dragon Coins.
In the end, it was barely enough for Mo Jin's seven days of rations, which is just absurd!
As expected, poor people are not fit to cultivate high-talent guardian beasts!
