Jun Changxiao didn’t kill Song Si because he didn’t want to provoke trouble.
But simply letting him go definitely wouldn’t work. If he returned to report, Ghost Hand Sect would certainly come to harass them again.
So he could only make him his servant and control him, thus avoiding subsequent troubles.
However, he completely hadn’t expected that controlling that fellow’s Soul Origin would actually complete a hidden quest.
Lu Qianqian said, “Sect Leader has matured quite a bit.”
Rather than killing Song Si, controlling him was undoubtedly the most perfect way to handle it.
Jun Changxiao walked to the gate, half a meter from her, giving a profile kill shot, smiling: “The more you interact with this Seat, the more you’ll know that such a mature man is worth entrusting your life to.”
Lu Qianqian’s bright eyes glinted with coldness.
Jun Changxiao hastily retreated.
Just as he entered the sect, he kicked back an incoming happy soccer ball with one foot, which with a bang hit Li Fei square in the face, blasting him against the wall in a swastika shape.
“Awesome!”
Su Xiaomo and the others were filled with admiration!
…
The only troublemaker was Ghost Hand Sect’s Song Si, so Xiao Zuiji’s participation in the martial arts tournament could be considered a perfect conclusion.
That night, Jun Changxiao opened the data panel, murmuring: “Got an extra 50 points—might as well spend them.”
The System said, “Impulsiveness is a demon.”
Hey.
This was the first time it actively advised the host to stay calm.
Jun Changxiao said, “Don’t worry. After experiencing so many refreshes, my heart is calm as still water. Even if I don’t get good items, I won’t easily lose my head.”
The System said, “Let’s hope so.”
“Refresh!”
Jun Changxiao’s thought moved, the Shop scrolled down, old products quickly replaced by new ones.
However, looking through row by row, his heart immediately went cold.
Nothing but daily necessities.
What was even more ridiculous was that there was actually a product called “Incubation Machine”…
Wait!
Incubation Machine?
Jun Changxiao was startled and hastily clicked for details—
Item: Incubation Machine.
Description: As long as sufficient crystal core energy is provided, can hatch any egg in the world, especially beast eggs from high-martial worlds.
Advantage: After hatching concludes, the newborn beast will automatically sign a contract relationship with the host.
Special Effect: During the incubation process, there’s a certain probability the internal young beast will mutate, thus greatly increasing its strength.
Price: 300 Contribution Points.
“Holy crap.”
Jun Changxiao said, “An Incubation Machine is more expensive than the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!”
The System said, “This is a product that can hatch beast eggs. After success, it not only automatically signs a contract but also has a chance to make the young beast mutate. 300 Contribution Points is actually quite cheap.”
“The Host just happened to obtain a dragon egg in the Death Valley. Recommendation index…”
“I know.”
Jun Changxiao interrupted: “It’s just five stars, right?”
The System said with considerable relief, “The Host has even learned to answer ahead—your intelligence is growing.”
“Scram.”
Jun Changxiao rubbed his chin, murmuring: “I’ve brought the dragon egg back for a while now but don’t know how to hatch it. Buying this thing wouldn’t be bad.”
However.
Isn’t it a bit ugly?
For contract beasts, Jun Changxiao only cared about appearance value—after all, going out requires face!
The System said speechlessly, “Fire Dragon Beasts have massive bodies and are fire-element fierce beasts. If the Host rides one out, the turn-around rate will definitely be one hundred percent.”
“True.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Bought!”
“Ding! Host spent 300 Contribution Points, obtained Incubation Machine ×1, delivered to spatial ring.”
“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 740/1000.”
His soul merged into the spatial ring.
Looking at the Incubation Machine over two meters tall and two meters wide, Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched: “This big?”
The System said, “Eggs laid by high-level fierce beasts are like small mountains. This Incubation Machine is actually small-sized.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao circled the Incubation Machine once and discovered a groove in the base position below, immediately realizing this was the place to charge crystal core energy.
“Let me try.”
Returning to the outside world, he placed the machine in the study, then carried over the dragon egg and opened the Incubation Machine’s door, tossing it into the central slot.
The System said, “The Shop has high-quality Incubation Machines that can not only hatch many eggs simultaneously, but after hatching, the Host can manipulate the young beasts to sign contracts with others.”
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao exclaimed in shock: “That’s awesome!”
Hatching many eggs simultaneously and deciding the contractors—as long as he found enough fierce beast eggs and gave each disciple one, that scene would be absolutely stunning!
The System said, “This kind of high-level Incubation Machine can only be refreshed in mid-tier and above Shops.”
“Get as far away as possible!” Jun Changxiao said.
After tossing the dragon egg in, the next step was to fill it with crystal core energy to start incubation.
However, when Sect Leader Jun spent ten crystal cores to fully fill the incubation energy and clicked on the four words “Start Incubation,” there was still no movement whatsoever.
Did he buy a fake product?
The System said, “This egg was at least laid by a Fire Dragon Beast. The Host trying to incubate it with Mid First Grade crystal cores definitely won’t work.”
So hatching fierce beast eggs also depended on crystal core grade.
Jun Changxiao extracted the energy back out, then refilled it—this time directly using ten Mid Ninth Grade crystal cores.
“Click.”
Pressing on the switch, there was still no movement.
The System said rather puzzled: “Crystal cores of this level should be able to incubate a Fire Dragon Beast egg.”
Jun Changxiao broke down: “Definitely bought a fake product!”
The System said, “Host, try switching once more. Use high-grade crystal cores to test.”
“You’ve got to be kidding.”
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched: “Those are quite precious. Using them to hatch a Fire Dragon Beast egg—isn’t that a bit of a loss!”
The System said, “If you’re reluctant to sacrifice the child, you can’t catch the wolf. Perhaps the Host will have good luck and through operational errors hatch a Kun.”
“Damn.”
Jun Changxiao said, “You’ve watched too many ads!”
However, thinking about Dao Realm Kun, Demon Kun, Tribulation Crossing Bone Kun, he immediately became a bit excited!
“Come on!”
Jun Changxiao once again withdrew the crystal core energy, took out ten High First Grade crystal cores, and fully infused them inside.
The light turned on again!
Jun Changxiao rubbed his hands together, placing them on the round button, just like a judge on The Voice—struggling with whether or not to press down.
“Click!”
Turned around for the student’s dream!
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
In an instant, the Incubation Machine sprayed out streams of attribute similar to spiritual energy, instantly occupying the entire interior and thoroughly enveloping the dragon egg.
“Beep! Beep!”
A faint, rhythmic sound rang out. Text appeared on the base LED screen—
Time Required for Incubation: 0/15 days.
Mutation Rate: 1/100.
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched: “Could this mutation probability be one percent?”
“Correct,” the System said.
Jun Changxiao went crazy: “What’s the difference between this and not mutating?”
Even if he wildly absorbed a bunch of good luck energy, he absolutely didn’t believe he could make the dragon egg mutate with a one percent probability!
The System said, “To increase the mutation rate, you can invest crystal core energy during the incubation process.”
“How much?” Jun Changxiao asked.
The System said, “The specifics still require the Host to explore on their own.”
“Fine.”
Jun Changxiao took out one of the just-withdrawn Mid First Grade crystal cores, then infused its energy into the groove, but there was no reaction.
He successively invested more, filling in all nine remaining ones, and the mutation rate finally jumped from 1 to 2.
“…”
Jun Changxiao broke down: “10 Mid First Grade cores only increased it by 1 point. To reach one hundred percent, wouldn’t I need 980 more!”
If they were Low First Grade crystal cores, never mind 980—even 10,000 wouldn’t hurt. But that many Mid First Grade cores would be extremely expensive.
For one egg, was such an investment worth it!
The System said, “If the Host doesn’t spend a single penny, you won’t even have a chance at operational errors. How could you possibly hatch a Kun?”
