The comet train ticket merged into Lin Han's body.
Immediately after, the other nine jars on the tavern's light screen were also opened one by one.
They were: 100 Authority Points, a planetary decoration, one-year free meal ticket, 10 Authority Points, 50 Authority Points, empty, empty, empty, empty!
Although four jars were empty, the prizes from the first few were simply incredible!
A total of 160 Authority Points, a planetary skin, a comet train ticket, and one year of free food and drink at the tavern!
Leaving aside the more abstract rewards, just the 160 Authority Points alone were already substantial.
And terrifying!
Some people didn't even have 6 Authority Points.
Yet with just one draw, Lin Han got 160 points!!
This made all the tavern guests green with envy!
But envy was useless—those Authority Points had already been credited to Lin Han's account!!
Trying to rob him was out of the question too, because in this world, anyone could enter the game at any time and any place!
They could only watch!
So jealous their eyes looked infected!
Three full minutes of silence spread across the tavern...
Eventually.
A red-faced, thick-necked man stood up.
"I... I'll go! Yaya, I want ten draws too!!"
"Alright~ please pay 10 Authority Points~"
"But I only have 7 Authority Points in total..."
"Then I'm very sorry~"
"Is there any way to make an exception?"
"Very sorry~"
"Then, then I'll just draw 7 times!"
"That's fine~"
As she spoke, a new light screen appeared in the tavern.
On the new screen, a fresh set of jars was displayed.
The man reached out and cautiously selected seven.
And then...
"Empty! Empty! Empty! Empty! Empty! Empty! Empty!"
"Very unfortunate~"
"Ah..."
The man collapsed on the spot, his heart stopping in the tavern.
The room was filled with sighs and sympathy.
Lin Han quietly walked to the counter, looking behind it.
Seated there was a small girl sitting properly.
The girl looked to be about 14, with twin ponytails and the same white hair as her mother—very well-behaved.
The mother and daughter looked like they had been carved from the same mold.
Only the level of maturity differed.
Lin Han said to the girl, "Yaya, bring me a rice bowl."
The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Uncle, how do you know my name is Yaya?"
"You're so cute, of course I'd know."
"Heehee, then what kind of rice bowl would you like, Uncle?"
"Mother-daughter—oh no, I mean, beef rice bowl."
"Okay! Please wait~~"
Soon, the beef rice bowl was brought to him, and people nearby whispered about him.
Many tried to strike up a conversation, but were met with Lin Han's cold indifference.
He quickly finished his meal and logged into the game right at his seat!
——————————————
A flash of white light.
He returned to the monster planet.
Immediately, a package window popped up in front of him.
[Creator Lin Han, the rewards you received from the offline event are ready for collection!]
"Collect."
[You received 160 Authority Points!]
[You received Planet Skin *1!]
[You received Comet Train Ticket *1!]
"Nice!"
"Use Planet Skin!"
[Successfully used. Your planet has been decorated!]
[Skin effect: Highly deceptive appearance that makes your planet difficult to detect, helping avoid exposure to other civilizations.]
"Great. Check Comet Train Ticket!"
[Comet Train Ticket: With this ticket, you can board the Comet Train in 29 days.]
"29 days, huh? At my development speed, by then I'll be able to bring along a few monsters and raid at will!"
After checking the items, Lin Han finally opened the Creator Panel to check his Authority Points.
Before logging off, he had a total of 102 Authority Points.
After just one meal, he now had 500!!
Subtracting the 160 gained from the lottery and the 10 spent, the monsters had earned him 248 points in that short time!
"What the—what did they do? I just went to eat, and they earned this much?!"
He quickly opened the event log to check.
[Your creation devoured its own kind and underwent extreme evolution!]
[You gained 50 Authority Points!]
[Your creation devoured its own kind and underwent extreme evolution!]
[You gained 50 Authority Points!]
[Your creation devoured its own kind and underwent extreme evolution!]
[You gained 50 Authority Points!]
[Your creation devoured its own kind and underwent extreme evolution!]
[You gained 50 Authority Points!]
...
A total of four prominent records, plus other scattered ones, added up to 248 points!
But those four entries alone accounted for 200 Authority Points!
Devoured its own kind?
Lin Han hurriedly clicked to view the details.
As the Creator, he had the ability to replay past events.
So, his gaze turned once more toward the distant landscape.
What he saw left him utterly stunned!
He saw—
Originally, five baby tyrannosaurus monsters were peacefully eating…
Suddenly!
The smallest one among them went berserk and bit into one of its siblings!
They were from the same brood—if not brothers, then sisters!
Yet it showed no mercy as it tore and bit!!
The slightly larger baby monster didn't even get a chance to fight back before being bitten to death!!
As the sibling's blood entered its mouth, the small monster's body began to grow rapidly!
Its teeth, claws, head armor, keratin, tailbone…
All underwent dramatic evolution!
All became monstrously savage!
The original baby monster had looked merely a bit fierce.
But now it looked like a pure monster!
One glance and you knew—it was a brutal creature not to be messed with!
Its teeth doubled in length, developing blood grooves!
Its claws, originally shaped like sickles, grew sharper and black as if poisoned!
Its temporomandibular joint mutated, allowing its mouth to open a full 180°!
The triangular bony armor on its head gleamed under the sun!
The tortoise-shell pattern on its skin became more defined!
The dorsal fins on its back now resembled swords!
Its two muscular hind legs grew multiple sharp spikes!
Most terrifying of all were its eyes…
After devouring four of its siblings, it had grown their eyes onto its head!
Each eye turned crimson!
This—was a complete and utter monster!
Even Lin Han couldn't help but gasp.
"Damn, you're really ruthless. No wonder you're... a monster I created!!"
Faced with this kin-devouring monster, Lin Han didn't feel blame—instead, he felt thrilled.
First, the distinction must be clear.
Monsters are monsters, and humans are humans.
Monsters don't need human ethics or morals!
As long as... they're strong enough!
