Chapter 51: The Goal of All Members Achieving Elite Quality
Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Goal of All Members Achieving Elite Quality
After the advancement, not only did Cola undergo slight changes in size and appearance, but its level increased to level 5, with both skills’ proficiency improved, and it autonomously learned a new skill—Wind Surge.
In terms of overall strength, Cola was much stronger than before its advancement and might be able to hold out longer in front of Spark.
Chen Yuan smiled and said, “Cola, try to use Wind Surge.”
Hearing this, Cola was initially stunned, as if it was thinking of something. Suddenly, its eyes lit up, it opened its mouth, and called out loudly, “Awoo awoo awoo.”
At that moment, a strong wind surged from all directions, carrying a sharp chill, pressing toward the central position.
The howling sound continued to echo in the ears, yet the tables and chairs at the center shook violently, swept by the strong wind, swaying as it wished.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan quickly shouted, “Stop, Cola.”
If it didn’t stop, once the old man saw this mess, he would surely give a good talking.
Despite holding several Extraordinary Creatures and being an esteemed advisor of the Baokun City Beastmaster Association, he remained as humble as a grandson in front of the old man.
Once Cola stopped, Chen Yuan touched his chin, his eyes flickering, “It seems this skill is like a large-area control skill, capable of pairing with Wind Blade.”
Imagine in battle, first using [Wind Surge] to trap the opponent in the storm, rendering them immobile, then using [Wind Blade] to attack, the attack effect would be exceptional.
Having finally resolved Cola’s advancement, Chen Yuan refocused his attention on Spark:
[Race: Flame Cloud Falcon (collected)
Attribute: Fire
Level: 6 (Tier One)
Favorability: 77
Skills: Flame Surge (Proficiency 2.5/5) + Flame Prison (Basic Mastery 2.8/3) + Flame Energy Assault (Basic Mastery 1.9/3) +
Quality: Elite
Promotion to Commander Quality Conditions: Unlockable]
Chen Yuan said without hesitation, “Unlock it for me!”
[Advancement Requirements: Use two third-level resources, Fiery Sun Wood, consume five second-level resources Blazing Fruit, any skill at Master Level]
Upon seeing Spark’s requirements for advancement to Commander quality, Chen Yuan’s initially excited and expectant heart gradually calmed, “Fiery Sun Wood… never heard of it.”
Like last time, images related to Fiery Sun Wood appeared in his mind—it’s essentially a piece of wood engulfed in blazing flames.
“As for Blazing Fruits, there’s no rush, probably a lot will be harvested soon.”
“As for the Master Level skill, there’s no hurry either.”
“So the next task is simple, finding the third-level resource, Fiery Sun Wood.”
Among the four Blazing Fruit seeds Chen Yuan planted, one sprouted yesterday, and with Source Point’s help, it grew into a sapling, while the other three hadn’t sprouted yet.
Once they successfully sprout, Chen Yuan is confident he can mature them in the shortest time.
Four Blazing Fruit trees bearing five Blazing Fruits will be more than enough.
“Right, let’s first check the Beastmaster website for information about Fiery Sun Wood.”
Chen Yuan’s eyes shone as he pulled out his phone and logged into the website, only to be attracted by the homepage advertisement—Beast Taming Mall is now online!
Chen Yuan clicked the link, which redirected him to a page similar to an online shopping app, immediately captivated by the dazzling array of goods.
“Level 1 Resource Hardwood Bamboo, worth 1 Contribution Value.”
“Level 1 Resource Lizard Monster’s Tail, worth 5 Contribution Value.”
“Level 2 Resource Blazing Fruit, worth 20 Contribution Value.”
“Level 2 Resource Wind Language Grass, worth 15 Contribution Value.”
“Level 3 Resource Thunderstorm Stone, worth 200 Contribution Value.”
…
After a quick browse, Chen Yuan discovered that the Beast Taming Mall currently sells hundreds of resources, the vast majority of which are Level 1 and Level 2 resources, with very few Level 3 resources.
Moreover, the price differences between the various grade resources are enormous.
“Seeing this, the rewards for being among the top one hundred entrants were truly generous, equivalent to a Thunderstorm Stone.”
“This is a third-level resource needed for a Pet Beast to advance to Commander quality.” Chen Yuan couldn’t help but appreciate the generosity of the Beastmaster Association.
However, this kind of good thing and generous rewards were probably only available in the beginning and would become increasingly scarce in the future.
Furthermore, Chen Yuan astutely noticed one thing—the resources in the Beast Taming Store can only be purchased using Contribution Value, with no support for electronic payments or cash.
“Doesn’t this mean the Beastmaster Association encourages Beastmasters to earn Contribution Value?”
“In this manner… the role of Contribution Value will become very important and might even link with cash in the future.” Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered as his thoughts flowed.
Despite purchasing the conditions for Cola’s advancement, his Contribution Value was still nearly 300 and continued to increase slowly.
Even if he did nothing, as long as someone bought the advancement conditions for the Flame Cloud Falcon, he could earn Contribution Value.
“Iron Head is diligent and reliable, I can buy the advancement conditions for it to progress from ordinary to elite.”
Chen Yuan found the advancement conditions for the Steel-headed Ground Rat in the [Beast Taming Knowledge], not just from ordinary to elite, but even the elite to Commander advancement conditions could be directly purchased with Contribution Value.
“I haven’t fought such a wealthy battle in a long time.” Chen Yuan hummed a tune, his face brimming with joy.
Whether it’s Source Point or Contribution Value, he currently has an abundance of both.
Chen Yuan directly clicked to purchase, and a pop-up window appeared:
[Purchase requires 60 Contribution Value, confirm?]
Confirm!
[Steel-headed Ground Rat’s Ordinary to Elite Advancement Conditions: Golden Iron Stone x2, Proficient Level Steel Blade]
Chen Yuan entered the Beast Taming Mall expressionlessly, searched for Golden Iron Stone, and directly clicked to purchase:
[Purchase requires 40 Contribution Value, confirm?]
Confirm!
Seeing the sudden decrease of 100 Contribution Value, Chen Yuan felt no ripples in his heart and even smiled at the remaining 200 Contribution Value, “Can’t spend it all, can’t spend it all.”
Alas, sometimes having too much can be problematic, resulting in the happy problem of excess.
“Now let’s just wait for the Golden Iron Stone, and then upgrade the Steel-headed Ground Rat to elite quality.”
“In this way, all the little guys on the farm will be of elite quality.”
“The goal of an all-elite team is achieved.”
“Wait.”
Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something and turned to look toward the direction of the chicken coop: “Bean Chicken seems to be just ordinary…”
“Hmm… Bean Chicken doesn’t count, it has no combat abilities, only knows how to lay eggs.”
“Then how should I use the remaining Source Point?”
After unlocking the advancement conditions for Spark, Chen Yuan currently had 7.9 Source Points left, a rather awkward amount that’s neither too much nor too little.
But every Source Point is hard-earned, and Chen Yuan won’t casually invest in improving the little guys’ skill proficiency unless the situation is particularly special or the skill is stuck in a bottleneck for a long time and unable to break through.
Therefore, Source Points should either be reserved for unlocking advancement conditions or used to accelerate the growth of important Spirit Plants.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan’s eyes lit up as a good idea quickly formed: “After eating the Luminous Fruit that night, the two little guys’ speed in improving skill proficiency increased slightly.”
“Their plasticity is strongest now, the more Luminous Fruits they eat, the better it will be for their future development.”
“Cultivating perception should start from a young age.”
With a thought, Chen Yuan quickly ran to the fields to check if the planted Luminous Fruit seeds had sprouted.
A moment later,
Chen Yuan looked at the silent field and sighed softly, “Forget it, let’s wait and see.”
He suddenly raised his head, speaking firmly, “I want to show the world the miracle of life growing from a sprout to a towering tree in just one day.”
