Egg

Species: Hybrid

Description: An egg of mysterious origins

*Ding! Would you like to hatch it?

Mark thought for a bit and asked, "System, what are the odds of each grade?"

*Ding! Fierce – 90%, King – 9%, Emperor – 1%

"I guess it might be depending on luck. Let's not hatch it right away and wait until I absorb someone's luck points. Hmm, wait a second. There's one, right now." Mark remembered the teenager who was currently a hostage. "I wonder if he has enough required number of luck points."

He picked up the communication device, "Alina, bring out the hostage. I need his luck."

Soon, Mark and Alina were standing on the grassland with the latter holding an unconscious Guanli.

He couldn't see the target's luck points with Sage's eye. So, he opted for another solution.

"System, absorb the luck." He spoke out loud.

*Ding! The target has 3 luck points. Only a maximum of 3 can be absorbed.

"Oh, fuck. An unlucky guy." Mark shook his head with a sigh. Glancing at his face, Mark mumbled, "I guess he can be considered unlucky or else, why would he run into me of all people."

As Alina get him back to the front chamber, Mark just sat on the ground and opened the system store. Adding the 4000 credits he previously received from making a breakthrough, currently, he had roughly about 23800 credits.

Mark went onto the currency exchange tab and typed the number. Soon, 11000 gold coins were deducted. His wealth was reduced to 130k gold coins.

But, he doesn't care.

After tasting the overwhelming power of his summoning beasts and battle tank's offensive skill, he desired to get stronger. Of course, he knew that he made a lot of enemies and there was only Alina and Allen to save him. So, he felt his own strength also needed to be improved very much.

*Ding! You exchanged 11000 gold coins for 2200 credits.

"Okay, 26000 credits. Now, it's time to remove the bad luck from me."

"System, open the store."

He scrolls down to the items section right away for he knew what he was going to buy.

*Ding! Ring of Luck (gold) costs 15000 credits. Proceed to buy?

Mark didn't hesitate to buy it and wore it before dismantling the silver-grade ring.

*Ding! You dismantled the ring of luck (silver). You received 50 credits.

Grade: Gold

Description: Absorbs the luck from the targets, increasing the wearer's luck.

"Okay, my luck finally stands at 6 points. Now, I only need to absorb 4 points of luck from someone and I will get lucky for sure. Let's spend the remaining too."

*Ding! You purchased Basic Intelligence Pill. 500 credits have been deducted.

*Ding! You purchased Basic Intelligence Pill. 500 credits have been deducted.

*Ding! You purchased Basic Intelligence Pill. 500 credits have been deducted.

Mark used 3000 credits to buy the remaining basic intelligence pills. Now, there are only intermediate and advanced pills left. He didn't look elsewhere and just went on buying them, intending to make another breakthrough.

*Ding! You purchased Intermediate Intelligence Pill. 4000 credits have been deducted.

*Ding! You purchased an intermediate intelligence pill. 4000 credits have been deducted.

"Each intermediate pill will give me 0.3 stats of intelligence. I guess I'm ready for another breakthrough. My earnings from the store will be improved once again." Mark let out a grin and proceeded to take the pitch-black-colored pill that feels a bit spongy.

Just when he was about to swallow it, Alina interrupted him, "Wait, Big Brother."

"Hmm?" Mark turned towards her.

"Your body is currently weak right now. It isn't recommended to improve your strength forcefully." She said to him.

"Eh?" Mark was taken aback and immediately enquired with the system. "Is that true?"

*Ding! Taking an intelligence pill during the debuff time puts pressure on the body. The host will feel tremendous pain as if he was being fed even with stomach full, although there is no life risk.

Mark didn't complain about it. He knew this sassy system would probably answer him that he should have asked it first.

He decided to wait until the next day.

But, since he had too much time, he thought about the ether crystals and asked the system, to which the latter answered him that there won't be an issue in absorbing the ether energy since it won't put a toll on his body or the mind.

He poured ether crystals before him. They formed a small heap. Mark started to absorb them,

His ether energy points slowly rose with each low-grade crystal giving only 1 point. If not for the fact that his ether quality is low, his cultivation rate would have been faster.

With each crystal taking as much as 8 seconds of time to absorb and refine it, he first aimed for absorbing 574 crystals nonstop, hitting the 1000 mark.

This process took nearly 80-90 minutes. By the time his ether points reached 1000, the sun is slowly going down and the darkness slowly loomed over the continent.

Mark took a small break. He resumed after 5 minutes.

Half an hour later, as he was still busy with raising his ether energy points, sounds of punching escaped from the battle tank.

He stopped cultivating and looked at Alina, "He must have woken up. Get him down here."

Alina went back into the battle tank and dragged him outside once again. Just like Mark, he was also in a weakened state. But, he was in a much-worsened state for some reason. He was wobbling left and right as if there was no strength in his legs.

Ji Guanli saw Mark. "You bastard, free me, right now." His voice was a bit weak as a person with a heavy fever.

"Sorry but that's not possible," Mark replied with a smile. He further said, "You should be satisfied that your limbs are still intact. If you keep behaving like a spoiled rich brat, along with cutting off your limbs, I will also gouge out your eyes. So, please behave and take a seat. I have a few questions."

For a moment, Ji Guanli felt as if he saw a devil.
