Chapter 108 The Immortal Species, The Spider Realm Descends! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The first thing that catches the eye is that strange title.
Pig-raising genius...
This meme seems destined to continue...
Lu Yu was somewhat helpless, but the quality of the video he saw after clicking on it was unexpectedly high. Although it was a previous battle scene, it had been edited, and some meaningless processes had been cut out. The opening was a bombshell.
The moment the mouse crushed the Snow Demon Crab was even accompanied by background music. Later, when challenging the Starlight Mist Demon, there was a deliberate technique of first dimming and then brightening the light, as if it were fighting against the world. After the instant kill, the light was suddenly brightened, giving people a strong visual impact.
In particular, the photographer knows Lu Yu very well and has captured him from every angle very cleverly. This not only preserves the realism of the image but also highlights Lu Yu's calm and composed demeanor as a trainer. Watching the whole series of shots gives you the feeling of watching a blockbuster movie.
Lu Yu couldn't help but wonder if this guy knew him, after glancing at the uploader's ID: [威猛小子].
I wonder which student from the school it is?
Could it be a recruitment promotional video made by the principal?
The exquisitely edited video, the genius's comeback that generated its own buzz, and the mouse's perfect appearance conceived from the source of a thousand faces, along with its overwhelmingly violent demeanor, all got the audience's blood pumping and made it an instant hit.
Although it didn't become a viral sensation across the entire alliance, it still made it into the top 100 trending topics in several nearby regions, and even topped the top ten trending topics in Dayuan City.
In particular, Lu Yu was not only powerful, but also knew how to advance and retreat with composure, and did not become arrogant because of his victory, showing great demeanor.
Most people don't know that Lu Yu was hired by the principal; they only see that he stepped forward in his alma mater's time of crisis and that he has a prestigious political background, as evidenced by his gold medal.
She is good-looking, virtuous, and capable, a perfect persona that instantly attracted countless fans. It even garnered likes and reposts from the Dayuan City Alliance, further boosting her popularity and propelling her into the top five.
Dayuan City is the first border city and has a huge influence.
It can be said that Lu Yu is now a mid-level internet celebrity in the entire border region, and he can easily make a fortune if he wants to.
In this world, the idol economy is also booming, especially for beast tamers whose power originates from themselves. As long as they don't turn against humanity, it's basically difficult for their idols to fall from grace.
Attending a match or taking on a game can earn you a hefty commission, which has led to the emergence of numerous entertainment companies that cater to them.
Of course, debuting is impossible. Even if I starve to death, die of thirst, or jump off a cliff, I'm not going to change my mind.
The root cause is that Lu Yu complained about the low pay and the excessive workload, and there might also be some guys secretly trying to impose unfair terms to disgust people.
Don't underestimate the evil in human nature. There will always be some guys who would risk their lives for money. If Lu Yu is strong, they will naturally ignore this clause. But once his strength progresses slowly, they will show their ugly faces.
Although Lu Yu had absolute confidence in himself, he was too lazy to waste time scheming against them; he had only one goal now.
Become stronger.
If you are strong enough, power and wealth will come to you willingly, and you can take them as you please; there's no need for all this trouble.
Therefore, Lu Yu directly rejected entertainment companies and several large adventure teams. High signing fees are tempting, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. What they want is to squeeze every last drop of value out of you and bring back returns that are ten or even a hundred times greater.
By then, Lu Yu will be extremely busy. He would be better off going to the Imperial University or the border battlefield, where the platform is larger and the constraints are fewer.
On the contrary, Lu Yu did not directly refuse the Trainer Association. After all, he would have to deal with them in the future, whether it was to purchase resources or learn trainer skills, and it would not be good to make the relationship too strained.
He then explained that he had only acquired the pet by chance, and temporarily named it "Blazing Red Ant." As for the dragon attribute... he would discuss that later when the rat was assembled into a dragon beast body.
An unknown pet... it's normal for it to have multiple attributes!
The other party expressed their understanding, but hoped that Lu Yu could have a free pet check-up when he had time and record the data report.
After all, the emergence of a new pet species can provide a lot of research directions. The reward is to provide Lu Yu with pet food for two pets for half a year, worth millions, which can be described as a very sincere offer.
Unfortunately, Lu Yu simply continued to keep his "next time for sure" promise.
Once we have the gluttony cauldron, it's hard to go back to frugality; the two little guys at home can no longer eat regular feed.
In addition, a mechanical engineer from the Mechanical King Domain came to praise the mouse's perfect physique and unlimited potential, and finally said that if the mouse could reach the Commander level or above within six months, it could participate in the "Oil Descending God Project".
After modification, they can become special life forms that are half-mechanical and half-flesh, possessing unlimited energy, and transform into long-lived species, potentially gaining near-eternal life.
When this plan was discussed, even through text communication, Lu Yu could feel the manic emotions emanating from the other end of the screen.
"Sorry, no need."
Although Lu Yu also wanted a mechanical pet, he wasn't about to let the rat participate in such a bizarre experiment, so he decisively refused.
The other party expressed deep regret and finally hoped that Lu Yu would pay more attention to the future news of the Mechanical King Domain, which might change his mind.
However, since the other person meant well, Lu Yu did not respond with harsh words and politely ended the conversation.
After dealing with several groups of people, Lu Yu got annoyed and directly set up a whitelist to prevent people from getting his phone number and harassing him.
"Finally, some peace and quiet!"
Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, realizing for the first time how tiring it was to be famous. However, not signing with a company didn't mean he wasn't interested in the internet.
As the "Master of the Gate," a man with the Eye of Truth, he could use online platforms to periodically reveal the special evolution paths of common pets, thereby gaining immense influence.
While possessing social status, one can also easily acquire wealth, purchase more materials, and create a positive feedback loop.
However, this is just a concept; its implementation would be quite complicated, so it's not being considered for now.
While Lu Yu pondered the future, Shu Shu watched with great interest.
After watching the video, the mouse realized that it had so many fans online who said that its incarnation was the ideal pet. In some wild rankings, it even ranked higher than dragon-type pets, which greatly satisfied its vanity.
"So the mouse's throne isn't in a repairman's house, nor in the underworld, but online!"
At this point, the mouse had made up its mind that it must continue to improve its strength and perfectly carry out the tasks given to it by Xiu Ren, such as robbing the leader of the limb-splitting demons and fleecing the queen ant...
After completing this a few times, you can then ask Xiuren to buy you a cell phone so you can use it to call on these enthusiastic subjects (fans) anytime and receive their praise.
This price may seem a bit outrageous, after all, the reward for a mission like challenging the leader of the limb-splitting demon is enough to buy 100,000 or even more mobile phones.
However, the mouse didn't mind at all; in fact, it enjoyed it.
You are not a mouse, how can you know the joy of a mouse?
As long as Xiu Ren and Sister Zhu are here, that's enough.
After selectively replying to some messages, Lu Yu led the two little ones into the Nightmare Prison to begin a three-day training program.
The general idea is to reserve eight hours for sleep and meals, and use the rest of the time for training.
The little spider naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and the mouse, wanting to surf the internet, also reluctantly agreed to the king's happy times.
During this process, Lu Yu naturally did not forget about the Gluttony Cauldron. Every new day, Lu Yu would come out to make food to refresh the buff.
The Cauldron of Gluttony fought back fiercely. This time, clever and resourceful, it didn't choose the hair, but instead chose half of the evil human's blood, and ultimately succeeded...
Half a drop of blood!
They wouldn't even give us a single drop!
"What a good kid! I was just worried that plucking too much hair would affect my appearance!"
Lu Yu praised the pitiful-looking Gluttony Cauldron, then casually tossed it into the Void Treasure Chest.
The beast tamer's affection for it lasted only one minute; the next experience would have to wait 24 hours.
This time, a new buff, "Radiant Complexion," was activated, providing three times the energy recovery speed. This directly restored Lu Yu's weakened state back to its optimal condition.
Lu Yu wanted nothing more than to shout, "I'll take on ten of them!"
Unfortunately, the White Fox still hadn't appeared. It was unclear whether it had simply been passing through Dayuan City and wouldn't be returning. Although somewhat disappointed, it didn't hinder Lu Yu's training plan from proceeding smoothly. With the super buff provided by the Gluttony Cauldron, the two pets' skill proficiency entered a berserk mode.
Spider-Man was having a blast.
Although the rat could withstand the onslaught with its soul clone, the "Thunder King" every night left it speechless with rage, and it hadn't watched any TV dramas in a long time.
I wonder if the female lead has performed the ritual yet and evolved into a Storm Hydra...
It had considered complaining, but the night after training the previous day, the little spider suddenly came to visit with a bag, indicating that it might need its help in the future.
Even Spider Sister came to beg for it!
This made the mouse so excited that it almost jumped up, waving its little paws to indicate that there was no problem, and then the two reached a friendly agreement.
After the little spider left...
The mouse glanced at the bag with great interest, but the first thing it saw made it jump in fright, almost scared out of its wits.
It was... rat poison!
What does Spider Sister mean by this? Is she warning me not to tell on her?
If you don't obey, just like in palace dramas, you'll end up poisoning yourself.
"Waaaaah, the mouse got its clothes smashed by the team..."
It had no idea that the little spider had simply made a mistake, thinking that rat poison and human medicine were the same thing, and that it wanted to check on its health.
However, the final result was indeed quite good.
And so, the mouse, who was originally "unwilling to remain subservient to others for long," suddenly became meek and obedient, making Lu Yu wonder if this guy had torn his soul apart too much and put the little mouse inside him.
However, before the next day was over, the hamster returned to normal because it realized that the rat poison was for rats, and had nothing to do with it, a hamster.
Moreover, as long as they are not completely dead, they can find a way to revive themselves.
Finally, in this harmonious and happy atmosphere, with many buffs and persistent efforts, good news finally came on the second night.
The little spider successfully upgraded its rankless skill [Spider Silk] to the [Peak of Perfection] rank, second only to the highest [Transcendental].
Be the first in the team to achieve this.
Once a skill reaches the "Peak of Mastery" level, an additional special effect will be created.
Inside the Nightmare Prison.
The little mouse perched on Lu Yu's shoulder, along with two tiny mice, and four pairs of eyes looked at the little spider with expectant eyes.
Lu Yu spoke:
"Give it a try!"
"Eek!"
The little spider nodded, a blush still lingering on its face from excitement, and then slowly stretched out its hand.
Whoosh whoosh!
White spider silk spread out, instantly coalescing into more than a dozen spider silk spears that pierced the earth, shattering the ground and scattering countless fragments of stone, turning an area into a white forest of spears.
"Its power has increased by 1.2 times, its hardness by 2 times, and its toughness by 1.7 times..."
Lu Yu used the Eye of Truth to quickly record the data, then said to the little spider:
"Use erosion wire!"
"Eek!"
The little spider nodded, then raised its right hand and clenched its fist in the air.
Bang
Countless spider silk spears dissolved and quickly disappeared into the ground, covering rocks, weeds, and all other materials, rapidly merging with them and transforming into even more silk threads. In just a few breaths, an area within a ten-meter radius became a white pool of water.
However, what flowed within was not water, but countless spider silks, which gathered together in an instant with the little spider's thought and then burst forth!
boom!
A large amount of spider silk coalesced into a wave five meters high and more than ten meters wide, as if one were in the middle of an ocean storm. The shadow blocked out the sun and suddenly swept in and crashed down, pulverizing a large number of trees and rocks on the side and turning them into dust in an instant.
"The power of a casual strike is already approaching that of a mid-level commander!"
Lu Yu's face lit up with joy, and the mice and little mice also showed expressions of envy.
Especially the mouse, at this moment it particularly hated that its skills were all super-level and the improvement was too slow.
If the outside world found out, they'd probably want to beat this guy to a pulp because of his Versailles.
"Waaah!"
The little spider nodded happily, and as its power dissipated, most of its silk turned back into fragments of rocks and trees.
This is the special effect produced when the Spider Silk skill reaches the [Peak] level, called Erosion Silk.
By consuming psionic energy, a large number of non-living things can be temporarily converted into spider silk, causing the quantity of spider silk to increase several times in an instant, thereby increasing its power or even causing a qualitative change.
"If reaching the pinnacle has this effect, then what is transcendence? Can it erode living beings, or even construct a spider realm descent?"
Lu Yu was filled with anticipation as he imagined the future, when the little spider would spread its silk, directly eroding the entire mountain range and transforming it into an endless world of spider silk, parasitizing all things.
With a wave of the hand, everything is turned into a puppet!
Become the true King of Monsters!
Current Spider Data (Partial):
【Void Dream-Eating Spider】
[Rank: Beginner Elite]
[Skill: Spider Silk (No Rank, Peak Performance 1%)]
Nightmare Prison (Super-tier, Proficient Level 88%)
Dream Blessing (Intermediate, Mastery Level 30%)
Thunder Sound (Intermediate, Mastery Level 10%)
Lightning Pattern (Intermediate, Mastery Level 1%)
Spirit Puppet Spell Thread (Advanced, Proficient Level 90%)
Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword (High-level, 90% Perfect)
This only lists the skills required to reach the mastery level, and the skills that need to be trained to the mastery level in the future.
The little spider's strength has undergone a qualitative change. Even in its normal state, it is comparable to a low-level commander. If it can be prepared in advance with erosion silk, it can even defeat a mid-level commander.
Of course, this is on the premise that the little spider's own psionic energy can withstand it, so it's best to get another [Full of Spirit] buff before setting off, which will give you an 80% chance of exploring the Dragon's Secret Realm.
But... what's the difference between not being 100% sure and suicide?
Lu Yu pondered in his heart, already thinking about how to use the little spider's proficiency-level and above skills to create his first ultimate skill, or multiple combo skills.
Once the secret realm ends, upgrading the Void and Illusion skills will also be on the agenda. After all, if we want to achieve the Trinity and for the little spider to evolve, these skills should ideally reach the Perfect level or above.
As for the Spider Silk skill, it also needs to be improved. Lu Yu was also curious about what kind of effect it would have after [Transcending Mortality].
"That's impressive."
Thinking of this, Lu Yu patted the little spider's head and praised it. The little spider rubbed its face against the warm big hand, and the mouse also came over to rub against it.
The next period of time was spent on the little spider improving its remaining skills, while the mouse had its clone hone [Shadow Control] and [Thousand Faces Touch], and it itself transformed into a Wild Power Ant and began using the Power Ring skill to try to improve this special skill.
If this skill can be given suitable special effects, it has the potential to rival legendary-tier skills.
Therefore, in order to improve his progress, Lu Yu simply rested in the Nightmare Prison until the next morning, when Little Spider's [Spirit Puppet Curse Thread] was successfully upgraded to the master level, and Rat's [Thousand Faces Touch] also reached the master level.
Next, we'll set off for the Dragon's Secret Realm...
