Chapter 293: Chapter 205 Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Flower

"...So that’s how it is."

After listening to Zhou Yuan’s explanation, Jiang Wuming finally understood some things and immediately asked, "So how do you plan to deal with this abnormal creature?"

Zhou Yuan took out the Paru Ball and threw it at the bronze little demon, which instantly turned into a stream of light and was absorbed by the ball.

Since the little demon was in its bronze form, the capture probability was as high as 95%. After shaking a few times, the ball erupted with a dazzling firework from the top, indicating a successful capture.

Jiang Wuming was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "A few days ago, I saw Chen Guangxi going crazy with a Yama Blade everywhere, cosplaying as Virgil... that blade wouldn’t happen to be the real deal, would it?"

"It is."

Jiang Wuming was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed dramatically. He rubbed his hands, forcing a fawning smile, his ingratiating attitude evident.

"Brother Zhou... godfather... dad!"

"We’ve known each other for ages, could you give me one? Coincidentally, it’s my birthday next month..."

Zhou Yuan shook his head helplessly, "The real deal is very expensive, but since you called me ’dad,’ I could give you a replica instead."

"Wow, wow, wow!" Jiang Wuming pointed at him, greatly dissatisfied, "You are so ungrateful. You give real blades to women, but only replicas to your bros."

Zhou Yuan scratched his head, "It’s not really a gift from me; she bought it from me and threw in an investment as a bonus."

"Oh?" Jiang Wuming raised an eyebrow, "So... you’re her sugar baby now?"

"I wish." Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes, "Unfortunately, it’s just angel investment."

Jiang Wuming’s interest was piqued, and he moved closer, asking with a gossiping look, "So, how far have you two gotten? Have you held hands or kissed yet? You two seem like the type who would sleep together first, then date later."

"What nonsense, we haven’t even started yet."

"So slow? You need to step up your game."

"It’s not like I have experience. One step at a time."

Back at the Control Bureau, Zhou Yuan found a temporary dormitory and settled in. He took out the door to the Universal Training Room, placed it against the wall, and entered.

"Come out, Millennium Kill Demon!"

Zhou Yuan threw out the Paru Ball, releasing the bronze little demon. Due to the presence of other pets watching, the little demon remained in its bronze form.

"Fang Qing, let them into the blood sea first, then help me test this guy’s abilities."

"Okay."

Fang Qing activated the blood sea, took in the other combat pets, and examined the bronze little demon, asking, "What is this thing?"

"A newly emerged abnormal creature. As long as it is seen by someone, it turns into bronze. Let’s look away first."

As soon as Zhou Yuan and Fang Qing averted their gaze, the little demon immediately shed its bronze form and started making annoying, monkey-like chattering noises.

The Paru Ball would forcibly brainwash the captured creature, so the little demon would not attack recklessly.

"Go, give her a hit." Zhou Yuan pointed at Fang Qing.

"Squeak!" The little demon understood the command.

Fang Qing frowned as she mysteriously felt a cold, sharp pain in her buttocks, a kind of instinctual alertness to danger.

She immediately transformed into a bloody wave, exploding apart. In this form, every drop of her blood was her body.

She was both a spiritual body and a liquid; unless there were special enchantment effects, no physical attack could harm her effectively.

After all, who could hurt water?

The little demon moved incredibly fast, almost teleporting in front of the bloody wave, stabbing its trident into the blood. Fang Qing let out a cry of pain.

She quickly gathered her blood into a body at a distance and turned her head to see three holes stabbed into her buttocks, which couldn’t heal momentarily.

"Zhou Yuan!" Fang Qing gritted her teeth, "I knew you were up to no good!"

"Oh, this..." Zhou Yuan hurriedly explained, "I didn’t think you’d get hit. Logically, you turned into blood; you shouldn’t have been pierced... could it be that this creature’s attacks have some kind of rule-based effect? A hundred percent hit rate on the buttocks?"

"You can try it yourself." Fang Qing suggested coldly, her hair disheveled, her resentment filling the air. The temperature in the training room dropped sharply, truly resembling a thousand-year female ghost.

"I’ll pass." Zhou Yuan gave a dry laugh, the breath he exhaled turning into white mist.

As their gaze returned to the little demon, its surface quickly grew bronze again, turning into an ancient bronze artifact in the blink of an eye.

Fang Qing, unable to take it anymore, used a wave of blood to smash the bronze little demon against the wall. It stuck there, but even this didn’t harm the little demon much; it was very sturdy.

"Don’t be mad, it’s just a small jab. I’ll buy you some crayfish later." Zhou Yuan said.

"Spicy ones, and..." Fang Qing paused, "ten pounds!"

"Alright, as much as you want." Zhou Yuan felt like he was coaxing a child, offering food to dissipate the anger.

After putting away the bronze little demon, Zhou Yuan got busy with his main task—upgrading the Universal Training Room.

The Universal Training Room allowed for upgrades using Star Coins to expand internal space, add compartments, and more.

Zhou Yuan spent 10,000 Star Coins to add an Alchemy Workshop. Next, he would start refining potions here.

Although a bit pricey, it generously came with various equipment needed for the workshop, like a crucible, stove, centrifuge, crystallizer, and more, all of decent quality.

In nine days, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land would open. He needed to use this time to refine some potions, just in case.

If time permitted, he also wanted to expand his skills in alchemy and potion-making. Being well-prepared was always good.
