How Divine Beasts Advance
The event to thank readers has come to a successful conclusion, marking the completion of another Side Quest for Ma Feifei. The remaining Side Quest and Main Quest can be counted on one hand.
However, what Ma Feifei found strange was that after completing this book-giving event, the system still didn't assign him any new Side Quest, just like last time.
This situation made Ma Feifei wonder if the system wasn't planning to release any more missions, or if it was going to leave Ma Feifei to figure things out on his own from now on?
Ma Feifei went back to the Bookstore and thought about this problem all night but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she fell asleep under the call of the Duke of Zhou (a figure associated with dreams).
The next day, Ma Feifei got up at dawn and went to the yard to lie on the rocking chair and daydream. The weather in early June was perfect for sitting under a big tree, Gust, and taking a nap. It felt especially comfortable.
"Hmm?" Ma Feifei passed by the back door of the Bookstore and found only Yun Qingyang standing at the entrance, gazing at the sky in a daze. Zhang Yunji was nowhere to be seen. So she went into the Bookstore and asked curiously, "Didn't Zhang Yunji come today?"
"His master just came to ask for leave for him. He said that he was attacked by an unknown group on his way back to the manor last night and was beaten half to death. He can't get out of bed now," Yun Qingyang said with a slightly puzzled tone.
"This..." Ma Feifei was momentarily speechless.
Although he had guessed that Zhang Yunji might be in trouble, he hadn't expected it to happen so soon. However, this also shows how much everyone hated Zhang Yunji, that even Spirit Saint Chang Kong couldn't protect him.
Of course, it's said that Chang Kong father-in-law, and his sister Liu Ying were actually the two who suffered the most at Zhang Yunji's hands. Their Grudge towards Zhang Yunji is probably no less than everyone else's. So whether Chang Kong really didn't stop him or deliberately didn't is something worth pondering.
Thinking of this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Zhang Yunji had really dug himself into a hole this time, and he didn't know when this storm would be quelled.
Back in the backyard, Ma Feifei lost all interest in daydreaming. He summoned his Mew and began researching its Mew path.
He already has Pokémon, so the other Side Quest, the Quartz League Competition, must be put on the agenda. Most of the Pokémon in Dubian Town are currently stuck at Tier 4 and cannot break through. If he doesn't hurry up and complete the quest to get the Pokémon Advancement Pill, then the cultivators may lose interest in Pokémon.
After all, no matter how strong a sprite is, it is practically invincible compared to a spirit beast at the same level. But if you can't level up and are stuck at the fourth tier, then even if you are invincible at the same level, you can still win even if you are a level higher. But for most people, it is still a useless thing.
Nowadays, most cultivators who possess spirits are at least at the Spirit King realm. A fourth-tier spirit is definitely not a match for their strength. Since their strengths don't match, it naturally has little Captivate. It's even better for them to capture an ordinary sixth-tier spirit beast as a battle pet.
Therefore, in order to maintain the popularity of the Pokémon, this Side Quest must be completed as soon as possible so that we can use the Advancement Pill to help those Pokémon that are stuck at the fourth tier and cannot level up to break through, thereby greatly improving the Pokémon's combat capabilities.
However, to complete the Side Quest, Ma Feifei needs to upgrade the rank of the Mew. Because it was reset by the system, the Mew is currently only at rank one, which is equivalent to the strength of a rank one spirit beast in the Azure Dragon Continent. Of course, the quality of Divine Beast will add a lot to its score, but Ma Feifei thinks that at most it is at the strength of a rank three spirit beast.
This level isn't good enough for the Quartz League Competition, so upgrading the rank is a must.
"I remember its information said that the way to advance is by consuming Spirit Crystal." Ma Feifei stroked his chin, watching the Mew flying around, thought for a moment, and took out a Spirit Crystal from his spatial bag.
"Meowth ~" Mew was very happy to see the Spirit Crystal. It flew over quickly, took the Spirit Crystal, and put it in its mouth.
Ma Feifei carefully observed Mew's physical condition and found that Mew's aura had become slightly stronger after absorbing the Spirit Crystal; however, it was only slightly stronger, and it was impossible to detect without careful observation.
"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Ma Feifei took out another hundred Spirit Crystal from her spatial bag at once, her face showing some worry.
The Spirit Crystal in his spatial bag were his own little treasury, totaling just over a million. He kept them in case he ever ran out of Spirit Crystal, and he treasured them so much that he was reluctant to use them.
When Mew saw Ma Feifei give it so many Spirit Crystal, it was so happy that it circled around Ma Feifei, then picked up a hundred Spirit Crystal and swallowed them directly.
Ma Feifei continued to carefully observe the Mew's condition. This time, the effect of one hundred Spirit Crystal was slightly stronger than that of one Spirit Crystal, but only slightly...
There's no sign of the Mew leveling up!
With a heavy heart, Ma Feifei took out another thousand Spirit Crystal and handed them to Mew.
Mew was even happier, and immediately did a 360-degree spiral roll before catching the Spirit Crystal Swallow.
This time, the aura emanating from Mew was slightly stronger than before, but only by a fraction...
Ma Feifei took out another 10,000 coins.
Mew has gained another point...
"It's hopeless." Ma Feifei slumped back in the rocking chair, staring at the sky with utter despair.
Ma Feifei didn't know exactly how many Spirit Crystal Mew needed to level up Ma Feifei. He only knew one thing: based on the 11,101 Spirit Crystal Ma Feifei had already fed Mew, it was a Bottomless Cave!
This is only the first tier! And it hasn't even advanced to the second tier yet, but it has already cost more than ten thousand Spirit Crystal.
According to international practice, the higher the grade, the harder it is to advance, and the more Spirit Crystal are consumed, sometimes even tenfold or a hundredfold.
Assuming that each rank advancement requires ten times the number of Spirit Crystal compared to the previous rank, and let's tentatively set the Mew cost at 10,000 Spirit Crystal per rank, then advancing from Mew two to rank three would require 100,000 Spirit Crystal, from rank three to rank four would require one million Spirit Crystal, and from rank four to rank five would require ten million Spirit Crystal...
Okay, no need to calculate anymore, we're bankrupt.
"Sigh, Divine Beast, your nickname really suits you perfectly," Ma Feifei sighed as she watched the Mew flying around.
Although Ma Feifei was unwilling, he still had to continue feeding it because the Mew's level needed to be increased.
After calming down, Ma Feifei poured out all the more than one million Spirit Crystal from his spatial bag and let the Mew devour them.
"Meowth meow!" Mew's eyes Illuminate, and it pounced directly on the pile of Spirit Crystal, beginning to devour them frantically.
As it absorbed the Spirit Crystal, the aura emanating from Mew began to gradually strengthen...
