Chapter 455: Chapter 455
After leaving the auction house, Du You found a secluded place and promptly took out the Baitan Fruit he had procured, before eating it.
Yes, he consumed it directly, in such a barbaric fashion. He was not concerned with whether he could concoct an elixir out of it or not. What he sought was the contained dark power, not the effect after refining.
The dark power was slowly absorbed by Du You, he could clearly sense it.
"Given the state of my body, it should take a few days to fully absorb it, I should ultimately absorb 80% of its power."
80% was quite a substantial amount, the dissipating power was not wasted, but expelled as impurities.
Du You’s Night Body was originally the purest form of dark power, he absorbed the purest parts. Anything impure was rejected, without any effect on him.
Du You roughly calculated that once the power was absorbed fully, his Night Body should rise to tier 7, or maybe even further, likely reaching tier 8.
He was quite pleased to be able to enhance his Night Body, which had been stuck at the same level for a while, through consumption.
However, the absorption process would take some time. Glancing back, he noticed that the pesky guy didn’t follow him, nor did anyone else, which allowed Du You to proceed with the next step at ease.
Du You planned to visit a pet shop in the hopes of finding something that could enhance the strength of his pets.
The pet gear he had previously purchased was from a shop nearby.
Unfortunately, Du You wasn’t so lucky this time around; the lack of helpful equipment was possibly due to the recent price surge of various items.
There could have been some suitable items, but Du You didn’t bother checking out the way too expensive ones, knowing he couldn’t afford them.
As he was about to leave, Du You suddenly felt a ripple from his summoning space. "Oh? It’s the vibration of the Cursed Crow King. Have I finally found something that resonates with it?"
Du You looked over subtly, following the vibration, and found a black butterfly inside a specially designed box.
The butterfly was over a meter long. In his previous life, such a creature would have been considered a rare treasure. However, in this world, such a large butterfly isn’t surprising at all. There were others way larger than this one.
Though seeing butterflies this size was standard, buying one wasn’t. After all, this Ghost Stripe Butterfly was fully grown, and adult creatures are not easy to tame or transform into pets.
Beast Clan creatures can be specially trained to increase the chance of becoming pets.
However, insect-type creatures, butterfly, can’t be trained. Whether as a pet or a summon, it all comes down to luck. Plus, the Ghost Stripe Butterfly’s potential was capped, having already reached level 20.
The Cursed Crow King’s vibration probably occurred due to the attribute compatibility with the Ghost Stripe Butterfly. If used for transformation, the Cursed Crow King’s skill could be upgraded to 10 stars, greatly modifying the pet itself. Until now, the Cursed Crow King’s power has been unstable, but this might change things.
To Du You, this item was just a material.
Du You checked the price. A level 20, top-tier, special type pet was priced at 100,000 Crystal Coins. This price wasn’t high and there were no bidders, which indicated the Butterfly’s popularity.
Du You had just processed a large batch of goods, accruing numerous Crystal Coins. Thus, he could afford to be extravagant. Not wanting to waste time and create complications, Du You decided to purchase this suitable material for skill transformation, which he had been seeking for a long time. At present, this was the only skill that was still at level 10.
Without hesitation, Du You stepped forward and bought the Ghost Stripe Butterfly.
The vendor wasn’t surprised at his straightforwardness. Everyone has different needs. Once they found what they wanted, they might pay a high price without thinking twice.
Luckily, this was a shop and inflated prices weren’t feasible.
After purchasing the butterfly, Du You had it sent to the Transfer Station, then departed the marketplace. Taking an autonomous vehicle, Du You headed towards the Transfer Station.
By the time Du You arrived, the Butterfly had already been delivered. Using an unmanned vehicle, he had the Butterfly sent to his house. This process was quite secretive.
"No wonder many people prefer using the Transfer Station, the privacy measures are excellent and the price is reasonable."
After returning home, the Biochemical Man informed Du You that Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were still asleep in their room. Du You smiled slightly, the sisters must have been exhausted over the past few days.
"Let them rest," Du You thought to himself. "They’ll be able to refresh themselves and release their energy tonight."
Du You took the Ghost Stripe Butterfly to the basement, while he instructed the Biochemical Man and robots to sort out and store other items. At this point, Du You had already started drawing the Magic Array on the floor.
Since the transformation only required a minor adjustment to his skill, he didn’t need to waste any new Dark Element Stones. The Ghost Stripe Butterfly was placed in the Array, followed by the summoning of the Cursed Crow King, who was placed in the Array as well. Finally, he added the Crystal Coins.
Du You was slightly frustrated by the cost of transforming the summoning skill.
When he had transformed his Light Attribute skill, the Holy Light Arrow Array, it had only cost him around 5000 Crystal Coins. But for the Cursed Crow King, it was 10,000 Crystal Coins!
Had he not saved up a significant amount of Crystal Coins from the World Event, he would not have been able to afford it. Even so, the expenditure had depleted over half of his Crystal Coins. Du You had planned to use them to construct new skills. If the transformation hadn’t been so costly, he wouldn’t have immediately returned home.
"Never mind. Now that I’m prepared, thinking about it won’t make a difference. If necessary, I’ll collect more later." Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
Du You steeled himself and activated the Magic Array. Numerous Crystal Coins burnt like wildfire. The usually quiet Ghost Stripe Butterfly began to struggle, but under the force of the powerful tether, its resistance was futile.
The power enveloped the Ghost Stripe Butterfly and the Cursed Crow King, decomposing them slowly. Under the mystifying operation of the Magic Array, they gradually began to merge. Du You could feel his skill power start to shift.
