Of course, if you cultivate normally and don't continue to enhance Mo Jin's talents, then there's no need to spend this unjustifiable money.
However, how could Mo Qingchen give up the means to make the Guardian Beast stronger?
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
He could only dismiss the little notion of buying himself a ten-cubic-meter space backpack.
"Damn it! Working to the bone, only to work for these shops in the end. What a damn world! Exhausting, let it be destroyed!"
Complaints aside, Mo Qingchen could only quickly pack up his things and put Mo Jin, who had turned into an Iron Shell Insect, into the Beast Taming Space within the [Abyss Pattern].
He had previously left Green Hat Bro in the Beast Taming Space, not allowing Mo Jin to enter, fearing this stupid toad might attack Jin Jin. If Mo Jin got killed, who would he reason with?
As it stands now, after evolving into an Iron Shell Insect, Mo Jin's defensive capabilities have greatly improved, and Green Hat Bro can't break its defense.
Besides, with Mo Jin's current one-meter Iron Shell insect body, that less-than-half-meter toad couldn't even swallow it.
So, this Green Hat Frog poses no threat to Mo Jin at all.
The Black Market street, Mo Qingchen once again revisited the familiar place.
Compared to the mood of previous visits, this time it felt even worse.
In seven days, working to death and only earning 250,000 Dragon Coins, only to find oneself back to square one, he almost lost his mental defenses.
He could only keep comforting himself in his heart, the revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to work hard.
Came in a rush, left in a hurry, after pocketing a large amount of resources, Mo Qingchen quickly returned home.
A giant bathing tub, placing Mo Jin inside, pouring in ten pounds of [Great Needle Bee Queen Honey], while also putting in three Tier Three Insect Type and Poison Energy Crystal Stones each.
"Jin Jin, diligently absorb, make sure to eat it all clean, don't leave even a bit!"
Patting the hard shell of the Iron Shell Insect, Mo Qingchen said heavily.
And at this moment, Mo Jin, besides being able to move its eyes, couldn't even make a sound, it could only blink its beady black eyes to show understanding.
Once everything was set, Mo Qingchen finally had time to review the previous panel notification information.
[Notice: Congratulations to your Guardian Beast (Mo Jin), for triggering the Light of Miracle, achieving a great evolution, and evolving into — Iron Shell Insect.]
[Notice: Congratulations to your Guardian Beast (Mo Jin), for its life level being raised again, lifespan doubled, further changes please explore on your own.]
[Notice: Your Guardian Beast (Mo Jin) evolved successfully, feeding back to the Beastmaster, your four basic attributes have increased, please check on your own.]
...
In total, there were over a dozen panel notifications, but most of the information was incomplete and required self-exploration.
However, the successful evolution of the Guardian Beast, feeding back to the Beastmaster, was very unexpected for him.
And at this moment, Mo Qingchen, whose initial points in the four basic attributes had been increased, now saw the numbers double directly due to the benefits.
[Mo Qingchen Attributes: Power 10 (+4), Agility 2 (+8), Spirit 20 (+2), Constitution 2 (+2)]
The numbers before the parentheses are his basic attributes, while the numbers in the parentheses are enhancements provided by Mo Jin.
It's fair to say, except for Constitution being a weak point, the other three attributes all exceed 10 points.
Such attributes are already comparable to a Tier One Exotic Beast.
Of course, it's of the bottom-tier category of Tier One.
According to the official Beastmaster documentation, a Tier One Guardian Beast will have at least two basic attributes reaching over 10 points.
Mo Qingchen's current attributes live up to the Eye of Truth's ridicule, a bona fide human-shaped beast, entirely capable of brawling with Exotic Beasts of the same tier, deploying the technique of tearing Exotic Beasts apart by hand.
However, this guy is quite the sly one, most of the time, employing telekinesis, launching remote sneak attacks to take down targets.
After all, melee combat is risky, who knows if the Exotic Beast has any hidden special tricks?
If an accident happens, Mo Qingchen's prime of youth would end just like that, wouldn't it?
Thus, the ideology of this guy is, if he can avoid melee, he will resolutely avoid it.
Moreover, if he doesn't have to fight monsters himself, he'd rather honestly hide at the back, letting his Guardian Beast charge and fight.
Unfortunately, he isn't allowed to hide at the back now.
Mo Qingchen looked at Mo Jin soaking in the bath, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
It's close, once Mo Jin evolves again and becomes a Great Needle Bee, he will be able to experience the proper Beastmaster way.
After all, when Mo Jin was still a Unihorn Insect, its combat power wasn't really high.
The reason lies in its Exotic Beast race; the Unihorn Insect clan is a bottom-tier Exotic Beast race, no matter how high the talent of an individual is, its basic attributes are only slightly higher among its kin.
Compared to the truly high-quality Exotic Beast races that are naturally powerful, there's still some gap.
At least, among the same talent and level, simply comparing basic attributes, Mo Jin would be considered bottom tier.
In its Unihorn Insect form, Mo Jin's combat power was limited, no matter if it previously managed to handle five rat creatures in the sewers, it couldn't match Mo Qingchen's monster-slaying efficiency using telekinesis.
Two Tier Three syringes, controlled by telekinesis, could instantly kill those less-than-Tier One rat creatures appearing within a 20-meter range of his Spiritual Power perception.
Once, he encountered a large nest of rat creatures, a total of 18, and under the rapid piercing of the Tier Three syringes, all were killed with their heads pierced in less than ten seconds.
After all, the power of the Guardian Beast isn't just dependent on the Guardian Beast itself, it equally relies on the Beastmaster.
There's an old saying, there's no bad Guardian Beast, only bad Beastmasters.
Upon hearing this officially promoted motivational phrase, Mo Qingchen snorted in derision.
You give the enemy an F-level lousy Guardian Beast, give me an SSS-level Guardian Beast, and see if they can match me in a same-level fight!
This motivational phrase only holds some truth when the Guardian Beasts are of the same tier and quality, where the Beastmaster's command makes a difference.
Mo Qingchen looked at Mo Jin, which had turned into an Iron Shell Insect, after absorbing all ten pounds of Bee King Honey and Energy Crystal Stones, and once again put it into the Beast Taming Space within [Abyss Pattern].
Then, he packed up the precious items at home, slung on three space backpacks, grabbed his weapon, and without minding the approaching sunset outside, Mo Qingchen directly opened a nearby manhole cover and entered the sewers.
He wanted to check the density of the rat creatures in the sewers at night.
No choice, the money burns way too quickly in advancing Mo Jin's evolution and talent constantly.
This time, when Mo Jin evolves into a Great Needle Bee, its talent will rise to SS-level Legendary Quality, and by then, an SSS-level upgrade scheme should appear again.
But the resources required for that will certainly be several times or even dozens of times what they are now.
If he doesn't have enough Dragon Coins to purchase resources, should he forgo the chance to advance Mo Jin?
Therefore, Mo Qingchen once again violated his self-preservation policy, taking another risk by venturing into the nighttime sewers.
