Chapter 211: Rich Locke
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the evening, after returning home and practicing Incantations, Locke began to read Method of Raising the Level of Wind-type Battle Beasts.
After reading for more than two hours, he had gained some insights.
This book was said to be a cla.s.sic but it was more like a banned book that was similar to black magic!
This was because the method of raising the level of wind-type Battle Beasts recorded in this book was to devour each other!
This was absolutely prohibited by law!
However, Locke did not care what method was used as long as it worked.
The content was more complicated.
Even a smart person like Locke felt that it would take months to master it.
Moreover, the success rate was only 30%. It could be said that it was a waste of resources and time.
“Such a useless thing…” Locke felt that he did not gain much this time.
Suddenly, the system’s voice sounded:
[ Ding! ]
[ Detected a hidden evolution path in the host’s book! ]
Then, a panel appeared:
[ Item name: Method of Raising the Level of Wind-type Battle Beasts ]
[ Item type: Ancient cultivation method series ]
[ Item level: Level 1]
[ Hidden evolution route (unique): Can be upgraded through Function Points! The highest can be upgraded to level 8 or 9 ]
[ Upgrade description: Increase success rate by 3% for every upgrade! Increase success rate by 10% for every upgrade! ]
[ Hint: 500 Function Points for every upgrade, 2,000 Function Points for every upgrade! ]
After reading carefully, Locke jumped up from his bed!
The item was useless but he had a heaven-defying system!
It was great!
According to the system’s hint, was not leveling up to the end a 100% success rate of evolution?
Leveling up was obviously much more cost-effective!
Not just Gale Wings! In the future, he could even get his own wind-type Battle Beasts to level up!
Compared to the huge cost of normal evolution, this originally useless book had instead become a G.o.dly item!
This was because Locke had completely chosen a suitable target for the evolution of the wind element based on the conditions of the Battle Beast eggs!
With the system, it was really convenient!
“It would be great if there were evolution books for other types of Battle Beasts too…” Locke knew that this was an extravagant hope but he was still filled with joy and antic.i.p.ation.
This trip to Wind City was really profitable!
…
Fifteen days later, the princ.i.p.al’s new office would be completed.
It was still a lighthouse!
The biggest difference from before was that the outer wall was new.
Hobrick said that he was used to working and living in this kind of building and was unwilling to change it.
Many cla.s.srooms had also been built.
The students finally did not have to study in the open air or tents anymore.
The brand-new cla.s.srooms and restaurants were also available.
Everyone was very satisfied.
This could not have happened without Adelaide’s full support.
Adelaide had used his connections in the business world to send the best materials to the university. He hoped to build the greatest Beastmaster university on the continent.
They had accomplished it as well.
In addition to their outstanding performance in the Three Academies Martial Arts Display, it was no exaggeration to say that the Federal Academy was now the best academy in the entire continent!
The number of students who had signed up was more than twice as many as before.
Tristan, whose body had not fully recovered, was busy with gauze bandages! Fortunately, he had the help of his good friend Jacques. Otherwise, he would have to enter the medical building again.
Diana was also busy with the allocation of dormitories.
Douglas naturally felt sorry for his woman and always helped her.
The happiest one was Adelaide!
With new students, there would naturally be graduates. He offered generous conditions to all the graduates and recruited all of them.
Adelaide a.s.signed them to shops and companies everywhere. He had guaranteed the stability of his business empire!
The previous investment of tens of billions was really worth it.
However, Locke did not partic.i.p.ate in any of their matters. At this moment, he was sitting in d.i.c.kens’ office, having a headache.
“Boss… It’s not that I’m incompetent. That thing has indeed been acquired by a foreign company! We can’t afford to offend it so forget it…”
The “thing” that d.i.c.kens mentioned was the final item that Locke needed to advance his Beast Fusion – Swift Hurricane Hammer!
This antique had already been specifically requested by d.i.c.kens in other black markets.
However, it was unknown who had intervened and spent a large amount of money to purchase it.
It had already been more than 20 days, but Locke still had not completed the advancement of his Beast Fusion, which made him very unhappy.
“There’s no other ways?” Locke took a sip of coffee and thought of other ways.
“Boss, you don’t know. The antique weapons market is very hot recently! The item you specifically asked for is even more precious! There’s only one in the entire continent! I’m definitely not bragging!”
It was not that Locke had not considered the “omnipotent check” that the king had previously rewarded him.
However, he still dismissed the idea because the reward was only one-time off.
Locke was prepared to leave this opportunity to the Golden Dragon.
Of course! The evolution materials for dragon-type Battle Beasts were even more demanding and he did not want to waste them.
However, the Fusion Beast was just one step away, and this was too unsettling.
The key was that there was only one “Light hurricane hammer”!
He had to make a decision immediately.
If this thing kept changing hands and was placed in the collection room by some greedy n.o.ble, it would not see the light of day for decades.
The Beast Fusion could only stay at this stage.
This was something Locke could not accept no matter what.
“Oh right! This is the profit after we’ve sold the treasures of Wind City treasure…”
Locke took the check and saw that it was 20 federal coins!
d.i.c.kens was getting more and more powerful!
Locke did a rough calculation in his heart. He had at least 30 billion worth of wealth now. He was definitely a rich man!
“You’ve done well. But you have to keep looking for that antique weapon. I need to get my hands on it. Inform me immediately if there’s any news!”
After collecting the check, Locke walked out of the training hall, summoned Gale Wings and flew toward Adelaide’s manor.
…
Löw and a few maids noticed someone approaching quickly from the magic radar.
They knew it was Locke with a single guess.
They immediately went out to welcome him.
“Mr. Locke! Master is at home, please come in…” Löw bowed very professionally.
The Beastmasters on guard duty were all Locke’s alumni before graduation.
Seeing him strolling leisurely in his employer’s house, they started discussing among themselves:
“Wow… It’s just like the rumors. They’re really good friends…”
“I should’ve played with him more at school back then. I really miscalculated…”
“Do you want to go up and say h.e.l.lo? I made eye contact with him once before…”
“Can you be a little more shameless? There was once we had our eyes on the same dish in the restaurant! That gaze was a warning to you!”
