Chapter 195: The Awakening Flute (Fourth update, two chapters still owed)

After leaving the courtyard, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the Credit Exchange in the Storage Area.

As usual, the incense burner in this courtyard was still emitting a pale blue smoke.

Li Zhangsheng's spirit was instantly lifted, and he felt significantly more refreshed, as if all his fatigue had been wiped away.

If it were before, Li Zhangsheng would have been curious, but now he knew clearly that the material burning in the incense burner was something called Concentrating Grass, which was why it gave people such a feeling.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the Credit Exchange window and began to exchange credits for resources.

He currently had six hundred Academic Credits, enough to exchange for the vast majority of items in the manual.

Unlike usual, the Credit Exchange was quite deserted today; there were hardly any people in the entire hall, which was normal, wasn't it? After all, Academic Credits were not easy to earn.

Li Zhangsheng picked up a Credit Exchange Manual and began searching for items useful to him. Skipping over Alchemical Pills, Secret Techniques, Treasures, and Spirit Beast Control Arts, Li Zhangsheng mainly checked the Treasure and Special categories.

"Found it, Monster Core Energy Traction Device!" It didn't take long for Li Zhangsheng to find his target; the cheapest low-power Monster Core Energy Traction Device only required 30 Academic Credits.

However, what Li Zhangsheng wanted was not low power; for him, the higher the power for drawing energy, the better, as this could save a lot of time. In the end, he chose a high-power Monster Core Energy Traction Device that required 70 Academic Credits to exchange.

Li Zhangsheng did not stop his actions immediately and continued to check other items. He had always had issues with the round and chubby Laziness; although he often used food to lure it into training, the effect was not very obvious. Laziness's nature was hard to change, not to mention it spent most of its time sleeping, the kind that couldn't be woken up no matter how one called it.

"Found it!"

When he saw the description of a certain item, Li Zhangsheng's eyes lit up; he seemed to see the image of Laziness training hard.

This thing wasn't expensive either, only requiring 20 Academic Credits!

After making his decision, Li Zhangsheng went directly to an unmanned window and handed his student badge to the staff member.

The other party first checked it with an instrument and asked, "Hello, what would you like to exchange for?"

"Ten super large multi-functional incubators, one high-power Monster Core Energy Traction Device, and one Awakening Flute!"

A long time ago, Li Zhangsheng had the idea of building an Incubation Room to increase the hatching success rate of Spirit Beast eggs, but because his Academic Credits and Soul Crystals were limited at the time, it had been dragged out until now.

The super large multi-functional incubator, similar to an Advanced Incubator, could use the energy of Monster Cores to simulate different environments, increasing the hatching speed and success rate of Spirit Beast eggs.

The difference was that the super large multi-functional incubator could not only hatch Super Large Fairy Eggs, but could also be dismantled into ten small incubators for hatching ten ordinary-sized Spirit Beast eggs.

Of course, the Academic Credits required for the exchange were also far higher than an Advanced Incubator, with one costing 50 Academic Credits. In order to build the Incubation Room all at once to provide hatching conditions for nearly a hundred Spirit Beast eggs, Li Zhangsheng had to exchange for ten. If he added the Monster Core Energy Traction Device and the Awakening Flute, his six hundred Academic Credits, which hadn't even warmed up yet, were instantly reduced to a pitiful 10 credits!

"Please wait a moment!"

The staff member was noticeably much more polite. Even though he had been here for many years, he rarely encountered such a big-spending student, and students who could take out so many Academic Credits at once were almost all among the Stronger ones.

"Please have those ten super large multi-functional incubators sent to this address!" Li Zhangsheng filled in the address of the small courtyard where Lin Wan and her daughter lived.

The Credit Exchange naturally had a free delivery service, provided that one exchanged for three digits or more of Academic Credits at once.

"Alright, we will deliver to this address on time!"

While speaking, the staff member respectfully handed the student badge back to Li Zhangsheng. He was just an ordinary person; although he was a relative of some Instructor, he only dared to bully ordinary students and did not dare to offend the Stronger ones among the students at all.

This was the way of survival for a small person!

Soon, Li Zhangsheng received the high-power Monster Core Energy Traction Device and the Awakening Flute.

The high-power Monster Core Energy Traction Device was a cylindrical object made entirely of hard cloud-patterned steel. Even if the Monster Core inside accidentally exploded, it would not blow the traction device apart, ensuring the user's safety.

The Awakening Flute looked like an ordinary flute, yellowish throughout, with several small holes on it. Unlike an ordinary flute, the Awakening Flute was made of a material called Yinhun Bamboo. As long as it was played, it could emit a special sound wave that pointed directly to the soul, forcibly waking up a sleeping Spirit Beast; it could be called a sharp weapon for dealing with sleepy Spirit Beasts.

Li Zhangsheng did not linger and returned to Number One Courtyard with the two items.

He took a look at the manual for the high-power Monster Core Energy Traction Device, poured in a small pile of Monster Cores according to the instructions, and after sealing the lid, began to start it.

Boom— Boom— Boom—

A sound like roasting beans rang out, and the traction device vibrated violently. Under a powerful traction force, the energy in the Monster Cores was forcibly drawn out.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly activated the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl. The pearl immediately began to spin, greedily devouring the energy being drawn out.

As time passed, the ten-colored brilliance on the pearl gradually became more resplendent.

It was indeed a high-power Monster Core Energy Traction Device; after just a few minutes, the first batch of Lower-rank Monster Cores had exhausted their energy, and the energy inside had been completely released.

"Still not full!" Li Zhangsheng was speechless. Although they were all Lower-rank Monster Cores, they had the advantage of quantity; this batch had dozens of cores, yet there was no feeling of being full at all.

Just how much energy could this Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl store?

It was no wonder that any Spirit Beast below a Divine Beast would surely die if it swallowed it; this was the rhythm of being bloated to death by a massive amount of energy!

In order to test the capacity of the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl, Li Zhangsheng put in another batch of Monster Cores and began to draw the energy.

As more and more energy was absorbed, the light of the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl became brighter and brighter. As a price, the Monster Cores Li Zhangsheng consumed were also increasing.

By the seventh batch, the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl finally stopped absorbing energy, emitting a brilliant ten-colored radiance.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly turned off the traction device. His complexion was not very good; this was because he had spent too many Monster Cores. Just this one absorption had almost exhausted the Monster Cores in his hands, with a value equivalent to nearly a hundred Soul Crystals!

"I hope it can last for a while!" Li Zhangsheng thought to himself. If it lasted too short a time, it would be hard for him to maintain it.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng began to activate the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl.

The Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl floated up again and began to release a rich ten-colored brilliance. Li Zhangsheng confined this energy within a ten-meter range.

Soon, a high-density energy zone took shape. Even with the naked eye, one could faintly see that the area within ten meters was filled with a large number of energy light spots of different colors.
