Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Sensational Major Incident (2nd Chapter Today)

After storing all the crystalized source stones, Chu You began examining them.

Holy Crystalized Source Stone: It is the most liked food by all pets. Feeding pets with this not only can slow down their hunger degree, it can also greatly increase their affection right up to their maximum morale value, and when the pet is evolving, it can stimulate the burst of their potential, thereby 100% at least getting a substantial increase in one attribute, and there is a chance of spawning new skills and pet characteristics!

Well, this thing, among pet food, must be considered the top-notch one, without a doubt.

Chu You recalled that no other pet food in his past life had effects like the Holy Crystalized Source Stone, with an amazing effect that could grant pets new skills and attributes.

However, 300,000 Gold Coins only yielded 12 Holy Crystalized Source Stones, this might seem... too expensive, right?

"Such a pity my dear guest, I almost thought this was a live Holy Spirit." The elder’s tone carried regret, but his expression seemed somewhat delighted.

"Don’t be discouraged, dear guest, this is just your first try after all." The elder’s words are filled with an encouraging meaning.

Chu You had heard it all along, but he remained unmoved, immediately began working on the source stone to his right.

’Clack clack clack’ the sound of stone cutting echoed in the hall, the elder watched with a smile, occasionally stroking his long white beard.

Quickly, Chu You cut this source stone until the core was revealed, another inexplicable aura rushed out, seemingly carrying a sigh.

What made Chu You’s eyes twitch was that there was still no war pet within this source stone. But in a shell-like shape, there were a large number of Holy Crystalized Source Stones attached closely together.

System: Sorry, no ancient Holy Spirit discovered, but you obtained 27 Holy Crystalized Source Stones.

"Ha ah~ ahem, Stubborn, it’s unfortunate, your luck seems to be a bit poor." Seeing that Chu You still didn’t uncover a war pet, the elder almost burst into laughter but held back just in time, quickly correcting his words to cover up.

Chu You remained as calm as still water, moved forward a couple of steps, and started working on another oddly-shaped source stone.

System: Sorry, no ancient Holy Spirit discovered, but you obtained 12 Holy Crystalized Source Stones.

"Ahem, it’s really... poor luck, but only uncovering three could be understandable!" The elder vigorously encouraged Chu You.

Without responding, Chu You directly approached another source stone, examined it for a small while, then started cutting into it once again.

When the core was revealed once again, a hint of disappointment flashed across Chu You’s face. This was already the fourth time, each time costing 300,000 Gold Coins, costing a total of 1.2 million Gold Coins.

There was nothing within besides Holy Crystalized Source Stones.

’Pfft.’ A man in a grey robe standing nearby couldn’t hold back a short laugh? Just that once, quickly silencing himself.

System: Sorry, no ancient Holy Spirit discovered, but you obtained 14 Holy Crystalized Source Stones.

At this time, the elder on the side spoke up again.

"Four times and still not successful, dear guest, gambling on stones is risky, I seriously advise you, your luck is not good today, why don’t you come back another day?" The elder’s tone changed, he actually tried to persuade Chu You.

As a protection measure for players, for all games of luck that depend on the player’s goodwill, the Celestial World had set that relevant quest NPCs must remind the player to be cautious going forward.

A little gambling entertainment, risk mounts with the stakes, forcing gambling can lead to bankruptcy...

"No more nonsense, I ask you, which source stone do you think contains a war pet?" Although Chu You spoke thus, he did not look at the elder, but was examining the source stones that were there. Clearly, he was just saying so.

Heh, he’s actually asking me for advice, I’d rather have him continue on his course.

"Hehe, you overestimate me, dear guest, I can’t tell which source stone contains a war pet, if I had such capabilities, haha, we would rule the world."the elder explained while shaking his head and laughing.

"It doesn’t matter, please choose one for me." Chu You remained insistent.

"Hmm..." the elder seriously looked around, sizing things up, and finally pointed to a very unassuming source stone and said, "I think this source stone may contain a war pet!" Although chances of that being true were very slim. This was the source stone I believed to be least likely to contain a war pet!

Why didn’t the organizers of the roll their own Source Stones? Because the chance of finding a War Pet Spirit within is extremely low. Previous events like this had shown that among 500 Source Stones, around five would contain War Pets, and it’s not a given that they would be of the Ninth Order.

Upon seeing the elder point it out, Chu You came straight to this very ordinary source stone and asked the elder, "Are you referring to this one?"

"Indeed, I think this stone has an extraordinary pattern, it might have, but most likely not, dear guest, let me seriously remind you again, gambling on stones is very risky, amongst so many source stones, I am certain that there are war pets inside, but it won’t exceed this number!" Saying this, the elder raised five fingers, indicating that amongst these 500 source stones, there are at most 5 war pets...

As long as there are some, I am not afraid there are too few!

Chu You believed in the elder’s words, because in essence the elder was an honest businessman, for he was in auctioning, which in itself required trust as the foundation.

As someone who reincarnated, Chu You understood, what kind of NPCs represented what type of characteristics.

This would be considered as one of the hidden bugs discovered by players in "Celestial World"...

To draw such a conclusion, one would need to have a deeper understanding and exploration of "Celestial World" to uncover this phenomenon, which was no longer a secret in the late stages of the game.

’Swish!’ Chu You made a cut...

Falling into the same pattern as before, Chu You’s movements were extremely swift, the ordinary-looking source stone steadily whittled down by Chu You’s blade.

’Swish!’ A piece of stone’s skin was sliced off.

Chu You’s expression turned serious because he saw white feathers inside. The feathers were encased in a transparent soft body, its color seemed somewhat vibrant.

At this sight, Chu You’s heart skipped a beat.

Not far away, the old man tightly gripped his beard, his eyes held a serious expression, as though dealing with a great enemy!

’Swish!’ Again, his blade sliced through, exposing a wider area of the feather. At the same time, Chu You’s heart skipped another beat.

Because he saw a part of the feather that had an eye-like structure. Although not a real eye, it gave a weird feeling of being stared at.

Chu You pursed his lips, his heart couldn’t help but start to race.

He sliced down at the feather-eyelike part and a woman’s shoulder appeared in his sight.

At this picture, all the NPC’s present in the scene sucked in a breath in unison.

The elder in the distance gasped for breath.

Good grief, please don’t do this!!

At this moment, a strange glow surged in Chu You’s eyes, the premonition in his heart got stronger!

Another slice! His hand, gripping the stone knife, rotated and without losing any time, Chu You swung hard at the link between the soft body and the source stone. ’Swish!’

Instantaneously, a human face appeared in front of everyone, it was extremely close to Chu You.

System: You have gained 129 Holy Crystallized Source Stones!

Meanwhile, this stunning woman was shockingly holding a Holy Crystallized Source Stone in her mouth. At this crucial moment, as the system prompt just appeared, the woman in the source stone swallowed the Crystallized Source Stone that had already been counted as Chu You’s property.

Within an instant, this perfectly beautiful woman opened her eyes; inside was a cold indifference as she locked eyes with Chu You, who was right next to her!

Shoot! The elder painfully ripped off his own beard, his face flushed with a look of distress.

"Damn, I can’t believe this!"

"My god, what am I seeing? Is that a Holy Spirit?"

"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"

All the NPCs present on the scene started to wail, their tones filled with profound regret.

However, Chu You felt a chill in his heart because whether it was in his past life or in the current game, he had never encountered a creature that could evoke such a chilling feeling in him.

The stare from the other party seemed like he was standing in a field of countless bodies, a murderous aura devouring his heart, a cruel intent devoid of humanity!

Is this... the Holy Spirit the natives were talking about?

System: Congratulations, you’ve discovered an ancient Holy Spirit. Would you like to save her from her ancient downfall and form an eternal pact?

Chu You quickly examined the other party’s attributes, feeling as if he had received a heavy blow. Shocked beyond measure, he immediately nodded and said, "I am willing to make an eternal pact with her!"

As Chu You’s voice fell, a system notification announcement appeared!

World Announcement: Player Night Ghost forms a pact with divine pet ’Emperor Ji’.

...
