Chapter 262: Spirit Fruit
Lugh had already started to take Lucy’s opinion seriously. “What do you think I should give him?”
“I need to know his age and strength!”
“He’s the same age as me, sixteen years old. He might still be a Black Iron Beast Master now.”
“My suggestion is the Azure Eagle’s egg.”
“Tell me why.”
“Platinum-tier pet beasts aren’t very arrogant. If they were hatched by themselves, as long as you treat them well, the chances of them defecting aren’t high.”
Lucy continued, “The Azure Eagle is one of the fastest Platinum-level pets in the Southwest. Its wind-type skills are top-notch, and its growth speed isn’t slow. Whether it’s fighting or escaping, it’s very useful.”
Lugh realized that this seemed to be knowledge about the psychology of pets.
“My first pet was the Azure Eagle. My father chose it for me. As long as there’s a family in the Southwest, they’ll give it priority.”
Lucy’s reason convinced Lugh.
“I’ll give him some wind elemental crystal cores. His family is not well-off either.”
“I suggest that the Major only give him an egg of the Azure Eagle.”
“Why?”
“To put it bluntly, giving him an egg of the Azure Eagle is already very valuable. If you give him another batch of crystal cores, he won’t need to work hard for a while. I don’t know about your friend’s character and self-control, but a sixteen-year-old boy generally doesn’t have good self-control. Once he becomes dependent on you, the friendship between the two of you may be gone.”
Lucy looked at Lugh with a burning gaze and carefully observed the expression on his face. “Once he becomes dependent on you or becomes lazy, he might be ruined by you.”
“I think, Major, you need to seriously consider it.”
Lucy observed Lugh’s expression and waited for his reply.
She rarely said so much at once.
She had always been cold and taciturn.
She looked at many things and would not comment on them easily.
“What you said makes sense. I didn’t think it through.”
Lugh had to admit that although Lucy’s words were unpleasant to hear, they actually made a lot of sense.
When she heard Lugh say that he did not think it through, Lucy did not show any expression on her face. But she still felt quite comfortable in her heart.
Lugh nodded and said, “Then we will only send one Azure Eagle egg.”
“Actually, we can also send a video!”
“Video?”
Lugh asked curiously, “What video?”
“A video of an adult Azure Eagle accompanied by a pa.s.sionate battle video. Let your friend see what a Platinum-level Azure Eagle looks like,” Lucy said in a low voice. “This will have a higher probability of stimulating his fighting spirit in nurturing the Azure Eagle. Sending the Azure Eagle along with a video recording the Azure Eagle’s battle prowess is equivalent to giving him a dream and a goal to advance.”
Sending a target, sending a dream?
It sounded pretty good.
Lugh smiled.
He stood up from the rattan chair. “Alright, what you said makes sense. We’ll do as you say!”
Two days later, Lugh still could not find an Azure Eagle’s egg.
Finally, under Lucy’s reminder, he gave the Rock Puppet to her and let her go to the Pavilion of Treasures to exchange for an excellent Azure Eagle’s egg and send it to Seven Star City.
After Lucy left, Lugh was still not used to it.
There was no one to help set up the tent, and there was no restriction on hot food.
It was a hot day, and there was no ice-cold fruit juice to dispel the heat.
Lugh finally understood why those big shots had to be accompanied by his secretary and his adjutant.
It turned out that it was a happy thing to have someone by his side to serve him.
However, Lugh did not think too much about it. After just three days, he completely adapted to it.
Relying on the danger perception of the Berserk Bear and the Eagle Eye of the Stormhawk, after avoiding many dangers, he returned to the battle.
[Ding! Your Pet Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly has leveled up to Platinum Low-Tier!]
More than ten days later, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly had officially leveled up to Platinum Low-grade.
[Ding! Your Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly has learned a skill — Spiritual Storm.]
[Spiritual Storm: Uses powerful spiritual power to launch spiritual attacks on enemies in a large area.]
Lugh looked at the system interface. There was only one mission left that he had yet to complete.
That was the mission he received when he became a Platinum-tier Beast Master to tame his fifth pet.
Every time he signed a contract with a new pet, the system would reward the pet with a Mythical-level talent, and this was no exception.
Lugh looked at the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly’s attribute panel and noticed that the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly was really pitiful.
The Stormhawk, the Berserk Bear, and the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine all had G.o.d-tier potential, and it was the only one with King Top-tier potential.
Recently, he seemed to be very biased.
Haha!
Half a month later, the Stormhawk flying high in the sky noticed that there were strange movements from the Fierce Beasts nearby.
More than twenty different types of Platinum-level and Gold-level Fierce Beasts began to gather in a small canyon.
The canyon was filled with white weapons and seemed to be covered by illusions, which made it look very mysterious.
However, the mist and illusions could not block the Stormhawk’s sight.
After the Stormhawk described it, Lugh could roughly guess what was going on in that canyon.
Spirit fruit!
In that valley, a spirit vine was growing.
The seven fruits on the vine were about to ripen.
That’s why so many beasts were drawn to it.
Lugh wasn’t very good with herbs.
But the Spirit Fruit, such a rare treasure, Lugh knew.
The Spirit Fruit is said to bear fruit for a hundred years.
Research in the Illumination Empire has shown that beasts that consume the Spirit Fruit have a higher probability of breaking through the bloodline shackles and improving their growth potential.
The Spirit Fruit had a fatal attraction to Fierce Beasts.
However, to Beast Masters, the value of the Spirit Fruit showed a clear trend of two-tiered differentiation.
To mid-to low-tier Beast Masters, the Spirit Fruit was of little value.
Gold-tier Beast Masters believed that rather than consuming the Spirit Fruit to increase their pet’s potential, it would be better to directly manipulate a Fierce Beast with Platinum-tier potential.
However, to top-tier beastmasters, the value of the spirit G.o.d fruit was greatly increased.
King-tier, Emperor-tier Fierce Beasts with growth potential were extremely rare.
If using the Spirit Fruit could help their pets increase their growth potential a little, for example, from King-tier potential to Low-tier Emperor, they would still be willing to do so.
The value of a Spirit Fruit was different in different eyes, with different prices.
The rich man who was reluctant to reveal his pet was the best buyer for the Spirit Fruit.
In Lugh’s eyes, the value of the Spirit Fruit was even lower.
His pet didn’t need the Spirit Fruit to increase its growth potential.
Just follow the steps and do the system missions to increase the pet’s talent level and also increase its growth potential.
But the Spirit Fruit wasn’t useless to him.
Even if he did not need it, it did not mean that other people did not need it. At most, he could sell it for money.
Of course, the Spirit Fruit was only close to maturity and could not be picked yet.
However, it was of great use to Lugh.
Many Fierce Beasts were approaching the canyon. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity for Lugh to hunt Fierce Beasts and raise his level?
As for the fog, it was because there was a rare elemental Platinum-tier Fierce Beast, the Misty Demon.
The Misty Demon used the fog to hide the entire canyon.
However, it was obvious that the effect wasn’t very good.
The nearby Platinum-rank beasts were still rushing towards the canyon.
It was very likely because the Spirit Fruit would soon mature and give off a strange fragrance.
Lugh was in the sky and didn’t ask about it.
“Stormhawk, search for the beasts. We’re going to fight. Pick one with Platinum-tier strength.”
Not long after, the Stormhawk set its eyes on a pack of Magic Gold Hunting Wolves.
This pack of Magic Gold Hunting Wolves was not strong. They only had five Platinum-level adult Magic Gold Hunting Wolves.
The moment they jumped out of the ground, Lugh smelled the faint fragrance in the air.
This confirmed Lugh’s guess.
It was the fragrance of the Spirit Fruit that was attracting the nearby Fierce Beasts.
After getting this promise, Lugh’s mood was even better.
The Stormhawk had scouted the nearby area, and there were no Star Glory-tier Fierce Beasts in the nearby area.
Things like the smell couldn’t spread too far.
Seven days later, Lugh’s harvest was quite good.
Although the three Platinum-level Fierce Beasts didn’t level up, they all gained a lot of experience.
Only the strength of the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine continued to be stuck at Gold.
In the seven days, the strange fragrance emitted by the Spirit Fruit became stronger and stronger.
It attracted a large number of beasts, including Silver-grade and Bronze-grade beasts.
Although Lugh was killing them with all his might, the number of beasts entering the small canyon was still increasing.
Seven days later, the Stormhawk scouted through the sky and clearly told Lugh that there was only a small green dot left on the seven Spirit Fruits.
This meant that the Spirit Fruits were about to mature.
At this moment, Lugh heard the system’s notification.
[Ding! Mission announcement: Pick the seven Spirit Fruits.]
[Mission reward: can designate a pet beast to increase its talent by one level.]
