Chapter 34

The more he thought about it, the brighter Li Yao's eyes became.

"I'll take it!"

"Huh?"

Now it was the clerk's turn to be surprised, thinking she hadn't explained it clearly.

"Mr. Li, please reconsider."

"Many Summoners have raised Devourer Bugs before; even if you hire a specialist to feed it 24 hours a day, it only gains 8,000 HP in a year."

"The most critical thing is that, apart from HP, the Devourer Bug's other attributes are at the average level of a B-tier summon."

"Once grown, it's at best a meatier punching bag."

"Selling it for 2 million is too expensive."

If it were someone else, the clerk would certainly hope the other party would buy it so she could get a commission.

But the person in front of her is the young master of the Silver Wolf Society, and a heaven-gifted prodigy who awakened a talent.

If he is dissatisfied with the Devourer Bug after buying it and feels she scammed him—

The clerk felt terrified just thinking about it!

"Don't worry, even if it's exactly as you say, I won't blame you."

Li Yao saw the other party's concern and spoke.

"You still want to buy it?"

"Yes." Li Yao nodded.

The clerk quickly tapped on the tablet a few times.

After a while, a staff member delivered the skill book "Devourer Bug: Summon" to Li Yao.

"Swipe the card."

Li Yao took the skill book and went to the seventh floor of the Star Network Exchange.

Below the third floor is the exchange, and above the third floor is the hotel.

The room walls use special materials, so even if an explosion occurred, the neighbors wouldn't hear a sound.

Of course, the price is not low.

Inside the room.

Li Yao placed his hand on the skill book, and the book turned into specks of starlight, pouring into Li Yao's body.

The Devourer Bug's attributes appeared on the system panel.

【Chess Piece: Devourer Bug】

【Level: 10 (Increases with Summoner level)】

【Grade: B-tier】

【Bond: Fighter】

【Star Level: 1-star (5 gold coins required for B-tier chess piece star-up)】

【HP: 3300/3300】

【Strength: 56】

【Spirit: 49】

【Agility: 51】

【Stamina: 66 (Main attribute)】

【Skill 1: Devour. Bites the target, losing 10% of its own HP, and deals true damage to the target equal to 30% of its maximum HP. If this damage kills the target, it can permanently increase its own HP by 1. Cooldown: 1 hour.】

It can only be described as unremarkable.

Aside from Devour, it has no other skills.

However—

"System, upgrade it for me!"

He had 5 gold coins left previously, and the hedge fund gave him another 10 upon reaching level 10, which was perfectly enough for the Devourer Bug's star-up.

After the star-up ended, Li Yao looked at the Devourer Bug's attribute panel.

His heart finally settled.

The name changed from Devourer Bug to Void Predator, and it also gained a 'Void' bond.

Unfortunately, the Void bond requires 3 Void chess pieces to be on the field simultaneously to trigger.

【Chess Piece: Void Predator】

【Level: 10 (Increases with Summoner level)】

【Grade: A-tier】

【Bond: Fighter, Void】

【Star Level: 2-star (15 gold coins required for A-tier chess piece star-up)】

【HP: 4450/4450】

【Strength: 61】

【Spirit: 55】

【Agility: 51】

【Stamina: 89 (Main attribute)】

【Skill 1: Evolved Devour. Bites the target, losing 10% of its own HP, and deals true damage to the target equal to 35% of its maximum HP. If this damage kills a leader-level target, it can permanently increase HP by 10% of the target's HP. Cooldown: 45 minutes.】

【Skill 2: Rupture. Deals 5% of maximum HP as magic damage to enemies in the target area, with a knock-up effect, and reduces the knocked-up target's agility by 60 for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.】

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

"Perfect!"

Li Yao was ecstatic.

After the star-up, it canceled the HP increase from devouring ordinary creatures, changing it to requiring the devouring of leader-level targets.

At first glance, it's a nerf.

But leader-level creatures mostly have incredibly high HP; as long as he can secure the kill, the HP gained in one go is equal to hundreds or thousands of previous increases!

And it also gained an extra skill.

Looking at the description, this is likely a crowd-control skill.

It prevents the Void Predator from just being a blockhead with nothing but HP.

Li Yao summoned the Predator.

"Are creatures of the Void family all deep purple-skinned?"

Looking at the Predator's appearance, Li Yao couldn't help but mutter.

It wasn't large, about a meter tall, with four pincers, two legs, and an upright insectoid body.

On both sides of its mouthparts were huge teeth that made one's hair stand on end.

Li Yao reached out and touched it.

The hard exoskeleton gave Li Yao a full sense of security!

"Next is this box."

Li Yao took the black box out of his storage ring and placed it on the table.

He roughly guessed what was inside.

Professional resource subsidy.

This was also the reason he returned to his room after buying only one skill book.

The resource subsidy includes an A-tier skill exchange badge, so he wouldn't need to waste extra money to buy one.

Li Yao extended his finger and placed it on the black box, on a spot similar to a fingerprint scanner.

"Bang!"

A large amount of steam sprayed out, and the black box slowly opened.

The next second.

"Huh?"

Looking at the contents, Li Yao froze in place.

"It's actually an S-tier resource subsidy?!" ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
