Chapter 316: Serpent Eye Fruit
Chapter 316: Serpent Eye Fruit
After placing the order at the self-service machine and seeing the delivery information on the screen, stating that the item would arrive at his dormitory within three days, Li Qian didn't think much of it and was about to leave.
"There's one more Extraordinary Resource left, let's finish checking them all." Just as he took a step forward, he suddenly remembered something and turned around, heading in a specific direction.
The reason for turning back was not only due to a hint of a touch of his obsessive-compulsive tendencies but also because the location of the last resource wasn't far from where he was currently standing. However, he felt that without taking a look, the task wouldn't be fully completed, and it wouldn't feel perfect.
The last resource was called "Serpent Eye Fruit," a greenish-blue fruit resembling a snake's eye that grew on a vine-like plant.
Having already found the Starlight Fish, and with the task progress reaching 100%, Li Qian had thought that checking this last item would just be a formality, a way to put a perfect end to the matter.
However, to his surprise, as he approached and gazed at the green fruit, a digital prompt suddenly sounded in his mind once again.
【Inspiration Points +10, Current Task Progress 110%】
Hearing the digital prompt in his mind, Li Qian stood there stunned for a moment before reacting.
"What's going on? How did my Inspiration Points increase by ten points again?" Li Qian muttered to himself, his face briefly showing a look of bewilderment.
After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly realized what was happening, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
He hurriedly walked away, leaving the Companion Beast Center's second floor.
In the evening, just after eight o'clock, he finally returned to his dormitory.
As soon as he entered, he immediately plopped onto the sofa.
Closing his eyes in deep thought, he immediately communicated with his Golden Finger, silently reciting in his mind, 'Submit Task 2: Evolution Method from Three-Tail Cat to Four-Tail Cat.'
As he recited in his mind, the digital prompt sounded once more.
【Submission Successful!】
Immediately, a vast amount of information surged into his brain like a tidal wave.
The information was extensive.
However, compared to the previous times, it wasn't overwhelming.
This might also be largely because the evolution method from a Three-Tail Cat to a Four-Tail Cat didn't break through to the Dominator Rank but only reached the peak of the Leader Rank.
The time it took to absorb the information wasn't long, just about ten minutes, and Li Qian had a preliminary grasp of it.
Searching through the information that suddenly flooded his mind, Li Qian finally understood the whole situation.
And it was just as he had guessed.
The reason this task showed a completion progress of over 100% was simple... there were two evolution methods for a Three-Tail Cat to evolve into a Four-Tail Cat.
The first method involved raising the skill level of "Telekinesis" to its limit, then consuming the Starlight Fish.
The second method also required raising the "Telekinesis" skill to the Limit-breaking Level, but instead of consuming the Starlight Fish, it required consuming the Serpent Eye Fruit.
Yes, after consuming the Serpent Eye Fruit, a Three-Tail Cat could also evolve into a Four-Tail Cat.
However, unlike a Four-Tail Cat evolved through the normal method of consuming the Starlight Fish, the subsequent evolutionary form of a Four-Tail Cat evolved through the Serpent Eye Fruit was completely different.
It couldn't evolve into a Five-Tail Cat at all.
It could only evolve into a completely different evolutionary route.
As for what this different route led to, that remains to be seen.
When he had just submitted the task, the knowledge he received from the enlightenment only mentioned a portion of this information and didn't delve deeper.
After absorbing this new information, Li Qian couldn't help but marvel at how a single step could lead to two completely different evolutionary paths.
Li Qian didn't know what the final form of the Four-Tail Cat's evolution would be after consuming the Serpent Eye Fruit.
Driven by curiosity, he directly opened his phone and purchased a Three-Tailed Cat from the Beast Marketplace.
He planned to use this Three-Tailed Cat to try out the new evolution method.
As for the existing Four-Tailed Cat, which had already surpassed the Overlord Tier, Li Qian intended to let it evolve into a Five-Tailed Cat following the orthodox route.
With his plan in mind, he didn't hesitate and directly purchased a Three-Tailed Cat from the Beast Marketplace.
Unlike the Four-Tailed Cat, the price of the Three-Tailed Cat wasn't high, even though it had reached its racial potential limit; it was just over two hundred thousand.
After completing these operations, Li Qian finally summoned the task panel to take a look.
Upon seeing it, a complex expression immediately appeared on his face.
This time, completing the task only earned him four achievement points.
Now, he had a total of fifteen achievement points.
It was quite a substantial number.
However, Li Qian wasn't very happy about it.
With a task progress of one hundred and ten percent, he only received four achievement points, indicating that the Golden Finger didn't consider the evolution method of reaching the Overlord Tier to be significant.
After some thought, Li Qian quickly felt that this was also normal.
If such an evolutionary method could be compared to the evolution of the Green Scale Dragon or the Frostfire Salamander, it would be too absurd.
Time passed quickly, and the weekend arrived.
The night before, the Serpent Eye Fruit and Starlight Fish that Li Qian had purchased from the campus Beast Center were delivered.
That morning, the Three-Tailed Cat he ordered online from the Beast Marketplace had also arrived.
After completing all the preparations, Li Qian didn't hesitate and directly took out his phone to make a call.
The person he contacted was none other than Dean Fei from the Breeding College.
Once the call connected, Li Qian didn't waste time and got straight to the point, stating his purpose.
Li Qian needed a quiet Beast Laboratory to conduct a test on Beast Evolution.
Upon hearing this, a pleased expression immediately appeared on Dean Fei's face.
Just as Dean Fei fell silent, and Li Qian thought the matter might be difficult to handle, the former spoke with determination and directly agreed.
"You've only been in school for a short time, and you've already achieved results. Li Qian, you're truly impressive," Dean Fei's voice conveyed his good mood.
"It's just good luck. The evolution method of the Three-Tailed Cat I mentioned to you before has made some progress, and I plan to test it," Li Qian explained briefly.
"Ah, the Three-Tailed Cat, that's great! It's a very meaningful research direction," Dean Fei praised after hearing about Li Qian's research content.
However, Li Qian detected a hint of subtle disappointment in the praise.
Without further thought, after chatting for a while, Li Qian hung up the phone.
About an hour after the call ended, an old acquaintance appeared in Li Qian's dormitory.
It was their class counselor, Teacher Wu.
