[Pet: Qingxue (level 5 Snow Fox cub), loyalty 100, Combat Power 25, Sharp Claws and Sharp Teeth, speed, burst]
His pet's evolution soon finished. Her Combat Power rose to 25, and she gained a new trait: burst.
Now Ye Fei was certain that Beast Essence Stones really had very few restrictions.
The little fox was still asleep. He put Little Dumpling back beside his pillow. It was the middle of the night, and he wanted to get some sleep himself, but after looking at the pile of items he had collected, he decided to sort them out and sell them first.
He had 27 beast claws. He listed them at 2 points each, for a total of 54 points.
He had 13 beast fangs. These were relatively expensive, still going for 5 points each, so the price for all 13 was 65. Ye Fei didn't know whether anyone would buy them all at once, but he listed them anyway.
Looking at his hundred and eighty-odd Survival Points, he felt there probably weren't too few wealthy people in this world.
He had one listing slot left. After picking through his earlier items, he chose something expensive to list next.
He had 8 pieces of Green Quality intermediate leather. At 10 points each, listing them together came to 80 points.
He wasn't sure whether they would sell, but with over two hundred points' worth of goods in his three consignment slots, Ye Fei lay down to sleep, satisfied.
He left the other items for now. Once he woke up tomorrow morning, if these had sold, he would work out what else to sell for points.
He hadn't forgotten that he could already buy plenty of things from the Survival Mall. He just wanted to wait a little longer.
Though he wasn't certain, he still hoped that once he had a few more Survival Points, some items that could strengthen him would appear.
A Combat Power of 3 was far too weak.
He hadn't gone to sleep until after two in the morning, yet Ye Fei still woke up before six.
After getting up and seeing that the little fox was still asleep, Ye Fei went to reheat the Rabbit Meat he had stewed earlier, then headed into the yard to sweep away the snow.
He had expanded the yard with wooden fencing yesterday evening, so sweeping it wasn't as easy now.
While sweeping the snow, Ye Fei opened the trading channel and saw notifications that all his items had sold.
This time, he had earned 54 + 65 + 80, for a total of 199 Survival Points.
Adding the rewards he had earned last night and the little he had left from before, his current Survival Points stood at 383.
He was only 17 points short of 400. Ye Fei looked at the Points Mall, told himself not to rush, and continued listing his other items for sale.
Wild Wolf Meat was currently selling at 1 point for 2 pieces. He had 48 pieces, so listing all of them came to 24 points.
Beast sinews sold for 4 points each. He had 13, for a total of 52 points.
He had 38 beast bones. At 1 point for 2, they came to 19 points.
After listing these items, Ye Fei continued cleaning the yard. Before long, he saw more notifications that his items had sold.
He still had 45 pieces of low-level leather. He listed 44 of them for 22 points.
By the time he finished clearing the yard, Ye Fei had received another unexpected random reward.
[You have cleaned the yard once again. A clean, comfortable environment always brings pleasant surprises. Survival Points +2]
When he finished tidying up and was about to eat breakfast, Ye Fei finally saw what he wanted in the Points Mall.
[Survival Points: 502]
After all those items from yesterday had sold, Ye Fei's Survival Points had shot straight past five hundred.
Sitting on the floor with his back against the single bed, Ye Fei looked at the new item in the Survival Mall and smiled silently.
He had finally found it.
[Gene Evolution Fluid: price 500 points] [Gene Evolution Fluid: activates genetic evolution. Purchase limit: 1 dose]
The description was simple and didn't say what effects it would have, but its appearance finally gave Ye Fei hope that he could grow stronger.
Learning martial arts, exercising, or other methods might also improve his strength.
But all of those required a long time and proper training methods. Without the right approach, people could ruin their bodies before getting anywhere.
Holding back his excitement, Ye Fei ate breakfast with the little fox first, then went out to complete today's Random Quest.
Today's Random Quest was to find Supply Crates, and he only needed one. He took the little fox out for a bit of exercise and soon completed it.
"Qingxue, I might just need to sleep for a while. Don't worry..."
Lying on the bed, Ye Fei stroked the little fox's head, still somewhat worried about his own evolution process.
Every time he had watched the little fox advance, all she had needed was some sleep. He could only hope his evolution would be just as simple.
"Whimper..."
Qingxue the Little Fox lay beside the pillow, staring at Ye Fei with her round eyes.
After Ye Fei bought the Gene Evolution Fluid and swallowed it in one gulp, an oval bubble enveloped him, lifting him into the air above the single bed.
"Yip!"
The little fox raised a paw to touch it, only to discover that she couldn't.
It looked as though it was there, but when she waved her paw, it passed straight through the bubble.
Curious, she moved closer and tried jumping onto Ye Fei.
Her eyes widened as she passed through the human's body and landed on the bed again.
The curious little fox tried many times. Once she was certain she couldn't touch this human, she lay listlessly beside the pillow and waited for her silly human to come back.
At that moment, Ye Fei was completely unaware of the little fox's movements. Ever since drinking the Gene Evolution Fluid, he had been inside a strange space.
All he could see in this space were densely packed points of light surrounding him.
They flickered in every color. Instinctively, he knew that they were all different, and that he could only grab one.
Yet he stood rooted to the spot. He wanted to reach out and grab one, but he couldn't move his feet at all.
Let me move!
He screamed inwardly for his body to move, but it refused to obey. No matter how anxious he became, nothing changed.
Come here! One of you, fly over here! Come here!
Unable to move, Ye Fei tried for a long time before he could do nothing but stare at the starlike lights around him, hoping to obtain one so he could leave.
But he couldn't even speak. Other than observing his surroundings, he could only imagine doing anything else.
Time passed slowly. After his initial struggles and efforts, and all the frustration, anxiety, and other emotions that followed, Ye Fei finally grew calm again.
I'll just leave it at that. My body feels fake anyway. If nothing works, I might as well sleep.
He did his best to comfort himself. Since he couldn't struggle, he would accept reality.
Just after he calmed down, several of the lights around him shone a little brighter and slowly began drifting toward Ye Fei.
