Chương 23: The First Evolution
Biên tập viên: Dragon Boat Translation
He could not have it both ways.
Zhao Hao, who was in a dilemma, glanced at Handsome Black, who was shaking its head and tail.
If you one day become rich, you should not forget everyone that helped you along the way.
While he was rich, he did not forget about his dog.
Looking at Handsome Black, who had accompanied him the entire time, Zhao Hao temporarily dismissed the idea of exchanging for the spatial equipment and asked, "Big Brother Miao, can I exchange some beginner rare evolution crystals from canines with you?"
Old Miao looked at him strangely. "There are so many crystals. How can I tell if they're from the canines?"
Zhao Hao was dumbfounded. If hundreds of beast crystals were mixed together, it would indeed be incredibly difficult to tell which ones were from canines.
He suddenly thought of the stupid thought of having Big Black sniff them one by one to identify them.
Just as he was about to speak, Old Miao said arrogantly, "However, you're lucky to have found the right person. While the evolvers outside cannot differentiate between the types of crystals, but the genetic lock I unlocked has this exact effect."
As he spoke, he searched the distorted space for a while before taking out three rare crystals. Then, he revealed his signature wretched smile. "Here are two rare crystals from wolves and one from a dog. I won't charge you any processing fees."
"Thank you so much!"
Zhao Hao happily made the deal, feeling that F4 was quite straightforward.
After walking out of the Evolution House, he made a decision.
He would first rent a house, breakthrough to 100 combat power, and then undergo his first evolution.
His combat power was currently at 70 points. Each advanced primeval evolution crystal could increase his geno points by 3. He only needed to refine ten of them to reach the cap of his primeval geno points. This process would take roughly 50 hours. Including the time needed for evolution, Zhao Hao decided to rent a house for five days.
After everything was settled, he only had 38 advanced primeval crystals left.
Snow Lotus brought him to a row of wooden houses. She pointed to a wooden house that was not fully closed and said, "Mister, there are no metal locks in the village. The door can be locked from the inside. The sewage system in the village is relatively primitive. Please pay attention to hygiene. There are public baths and public toilets over there. Please do not urinate or defecate just anywhere. You'll be fined if you do so."
Then, she told him some things to take note of before turning to leave.
Zhao Hao was about to enter the rented apartment when the door next door opened. A sexy mixed-blood beauty walked out and sized up Zhao Hao with interest. She revealed a seductive smile and said in a seductive voice, "Handsome, do you want to go on a date?"
So direct?
Zhao Hao was stunned. He had witnessed the open-mindedness of the girls in the World of Evolution.
He thought of Weiwei and the scene when they went to a hotel room for the first time in their second year.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was in a daze, the mixed-blood beauty thought that he was not Chinese and said in a foreign language, "Do you speak English?"
Zhao Hao came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I'm busy."
The mixed-blood beauty rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Go f*ck yourself."
Ignoring the mixed-blood beauty, Zhao Hao walked into the rented apartment and locked the door.
The room was very small and was made of a special wood. The soundproofing was very good. There was a wooden bed and a wooden wardrobe inside. The bed was covered with animal skin. There was no blanket provided. There was only a pillow made of dried grass wrapped in cloth.
Even so, Zhao Hao felt like he was in heaven. It had been almost a month since he came to the World of Evolution, but he had never slept on a bed. Those who had not experienced such hardships would not understand.
He lay down on the bed and slept comfortably.
In his dream, he dreamed that he built a small wooden house by the lake in the village and lived happily with Weiwei.
The next morning, Zhao Hao woke up full of energy. His mental fatigue had been relieved. In the past, when he lived in the tree hole, he could wake up at any moment and was always on guard against sneak attacks. Although he could recover his physical strength by circulating his evolution technique, the psychological fatigue still slowly accumulated.
Zhao Hao went to the only small restaurant in the village and was shocked by the menu. There were both Chinese and Western dishes on the menu, including all kinds of primeval and rare meat. The price was also frighteningly expensive. The simplest Chinese dish cost one advanced primeval evolution crystal.
There was also a wooden recruitment sign at the entrance of the restaurant: We are looking for a winemaker. The details are negotiable.
After eating roasted meat for so many days, Zhao Hao would get sick of it no matter how delicious it was. He could not wait to change what he ate. He went big this time, ordering three dishes and a soup in the small restaurant.
After eating and drinking his fill, he returned to his rented room and got down to business.
As soon as he took out the three beginner rare canine crystals, they were all immediately swallowed by Big Black.
Then, Big Black lay on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
"It took four days for it to evolve last time. How long will it take this time?"
Zhao Hao mumbled and began to refine advanced primeval crystals.
Two and a half days later, his primeval geno points reached the maximum of 100 points!
Just as Protector Sun had said, after his primeval geno points reached 100, a prompt naturally appeared.
"Your primeval geno points have reached the upper limit. Do you wish to proceed with evolution?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Hao's main purpose for coming to the Neutral Grounds was to evolve without being disturbed.
The moment he made his decision, a strange heat surged restlessly in his body.
Through his inner sight, he discovered that a certain qi flow had formed within him. That flow of qi had formed a vortex and was currently compressing.
Zhao Hao finally understood the principle behind the evolution. Once the qi flow in his body was successfully compressed, he would undergo a qualitative change. This was like when a piece of pig iron became refined iron after being tempered thousands of times.
He guided the qi flow and circulated his evolution technique, concentrating on compressing it.
The process was extremely painful. His meridians and bones felt like they were being crushed as if his entire body was being compressed.
Zhao Hao's body twitched. He endured the pain and used his tenacious will to urge the evolution technique to compress the qi flow.
During this period of time, he noticed a very ominous phenomenon. His E-grade evolution technique had a huge flaw. The more he compressed, the harder it was to suppress and control the chaotic flow of qi in his body.
"Hold on, you have to hold on!"
Zhao Hao shouted in his heart as he activated his evolution technique to compress the qi flow.
However, he still could not resist in the end.
At the last critical moment, the chaotic qi flow formed a huge tsunami that destroyed everything.
Puff!
Zhao Hao fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face was as pale as paper as he lay on the ground on his last breath.
"Evolution failed. Primeval geno points have been reset to zero."
"You've severely overdrawn your life force and consumed ten years of your lifespan."
[Evolver: Zhao Hao.]
[Primitive geno points: 0]
[Combat Power: 0]
[Lifespan: 62]
[Combat Skill: Berserker Blade Technique]
[Evolution Technique: E-grade]
Zhao Hao's heart sank when he looked at his attributes panel.
His 100 primeval geno points had been reduced to 0.
His original 72 years of lifespan was shortened to 62 years.
Only now did he understand the price of evolution. He actually had to overdraw his vitality.
"Protector Sun, f*ck you and your entire family!"
Zhao Hao spat out blood and cursed.
He finally understood why Protector Sun had 100 points of combat power but did not evolve while intentionally or unintentionally encouraging "Niu Dehua" to evolve many times.
That bastard's schemes were so deep and ruthless that it made one's hair stand on end.
