Chapter 4 Synthesizing a Pet Egg, Mythical Vermilion Bird!

Now there's absolutely no shortage of funds.

Of course, one can never have too much money.

Especially knowing that after the game invasion, everything in the game will be realized, it’s best to hoard as many in-game items and equipment as possible while the game prices are plummeting.

Even if I don’t use them in the future, they can be used as bargaining chips for trades.

Next, Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao started to synthesize pet eggs.

Pets in the game *New World* are very powerful combat partners.

However, it also depends on the pet's quality and whether its affinity matches the owner's class.

For example, Lin Chen's class is Wind Chaser Mage.

He hasn't completed the class advancement quest in the Forbidden Land of the Gods yet. After completing it, Lin Chen will obtain a class title… Wind God!

This is a very survivable mage class, and it has many large-scale skills. In a team, it's the kind of top-tier free agent… The large-scale skills allow him to deal tons of damage, and he doesn't rely too much on his teammates' protection.

Then, the best affinity choice for the pet Lin Chen needs is a mage type, preferably one proficient in fire magic.

The wind fuels the fire.

Many of the wind mage's skills can cooperate with fire-based spells to create even greater damage.

Lin Chen had a pet before.

Fire Rat.

Its quality was Excellent.

Pet quality is divided into five levels: Common, Excellent, Rare, Extraordinary, and Perfect. In addition, there are three transcendent qualities: Legendary, Epic, and Mythical!

And pet eggs are divided into five grades: white (Common), blue (Rare), purple (Extraordinary), gold (Super Rare), and dazzling (Supreme).

The probabilities are as follows:

White eggs have an 80% chance of hatching a Common pet and a 20% chance of hatching an Excellent pet.

Blue eggs have an 80% chance of hatching an Excellent pet and a 20% chance of hatching a Rare pet.

Purple eggs have an 80% chance of hatching a Rare pet and a 20% chance of hatching an Extraordinary pet.

Gold eggs have an 80% chance of hatching an Extraordinary pet and a 20% chance of hatching a Perfect pet.

Dazzling eggs have an 80% chance of hatching a Perfect pet and a 20% chance of hatching a Legendary, Epic, or Mythical pet.

It can be seen that pets in this game are very expensive.

First of all, the price of a Rare egg used to start at ten thousand.

But the pets that hatched had an 80% chance of being Excellent.

Just like Lin Chen's current Fire Rat.

Back then, in order to buy this Fire Rat, Lin Chen gritted his teeth and saved for a long time.

But now, the price is different.

Lin Chen has a thousand blue pet eggs in his hand.

One person can't use so many pets.

Even a Beast Master can only have a dozen or dozens of pets at most.

So, he started combining pets.

Pet egg combination is a five-in-one process.

Five blue eggs combine into one purple egg.

In other words, the price of a Rare quality pet is at least five times higher than that of an Excellent pet.

Because the probability is low, and it is difficult to hatch.

Lin Chen's thousand blue pet eggs are only enough to combine two dazzling Supreme pet eggs, and it is not certain that they can hatch pets of the Legendary, Epic, or Mythical levels. It is conceivable how expensive top-tier pets are in the game *New World*.

In the twenty years since the game *New World* was launched, a total of only eighteen pets exceeding the Perfect quality have appeared.

On average, less than one per year.

Among them, in addition to the low probability problem, there is also the high price.

Before the price crash, the price of a dazzling pet egg reached about six million.

How many people in the world have such financial resources to synthesize them?

Only the young masters or young ladies of those consortia can get them.

That's why there are so few top-quality pets in this game.

Lin Chen gave Liu Mengyao five hundred pet eggs, and then he continued to synthesize with her.

He felt that the pet eggs seemed to be not enough.

But it doesn't matter.

Now Lin Chen is not short of funds.

While synthesizing, he sent a voice message to Zhang Chunlin: "Continue to help me collect pet eggs. I want as many as you can get. After collecting them, directly help me synthesize them."

"Okay!"

Zhang Chunlin replied with a message.

Lin Chen plans to get at least one extraordinary pet for himself and Liu Mengyao to enhance their strength.

Ten minutes later, Liu Mengyao said in the team channel: "Lin Chen, I'm done synthesizing."

"I'm done too."

Lin Chen smiled and said: "Come on, let's open one each… I'll go first!"

He doesn't feel any pressure.

If it was before, this would be something worth five or six million.

His heart would definitely be racing.

Even now, it is worth tens of thousands.

But Lin Chen has even experienced death, and he is not so easily moved.

Open it directly!

A dazzling halo burst open, and the light even made it impossible to see clearly in front of him. As the dazzling light disappeared, a strange beast's murmuring sound came: "Wū jī jī…"

Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao opened their eyes together.

In front of the two, there was a rather cute-looking baby toothed stegosaurus with a row of fan-shaped fleshy thorns on its back. It looked like a Q version of the ancient stegosaurus, and this type of pet was only two meters tall at most.

However, this is a pet with extremely high defense!

Most pets in *New World* can be ridden. After this baby toothed stegosaurus is ridden by its owner, it will block 80% of the damage for the owner.

But unfortunately, although the pet is very good, it is only of Perfect quality.

It did not reach the extraordinary standard.

"Only two of the four-dimensional growths have reached S, and the quality rating is Perfect."

Lin Chen told Liu Mengyao with some regret.

Sure enough, this thing called probability is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

It seems there is no hope of getting it in one go.

But Liu Mengyao said with a smile: "I think it's very good! Look at it, how cute is it?"

Girls are like this, they like cute things very much.

"Then I'll give it to you."

Lin Chen smiled.

He can't use the baby toothed stegosaurus.

He doesn't even care for it.

It's good to give it to Liu Mengyao as a mount.

"Okay! Then I'll open one for you."

Liu Mengyao did not refuse.

The two have been together for so long, and they have long passed the stage of being coy.

Now, it's all about how comfortable and natural they can be.

Soon, a dazzling egg bloomed with brilliance in front of the two.

The dazzling light made Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao close their eyes once again.

At this time, there were also a few people passing by the usually deserted warehouse. One of them said: "Boss, look… Someone is opening a dazzling egg, right?"

"The servers are about to shut down. Why waste money on this?"

"Hehe, maybe they are two rich guys?"

"Mark them…"

The few people discussed.

The next moment, Lin Chen received a team application message.

But then the message was withdrawn.

Lin Chen didn't even know the other person's name.

However, his name was known to the other party.

Lin Chen instantly realized… He was probably being targeted by very professional gold diggers in the game.

"Hmph, gold diggers?"

Lin Chen sneered in his heart.

In the game, there are no laws and regulations like in reality.

So, people with dark hearts originally started to become unscrupulous after coming to the game, even taking pleasure in killing people and robbing equipment!

They also call themselves "gold diggers."

They make a living by robbing equipment and selling it for money!

Lin Chen knew that these people had no bottom line in the game. Perhaps they might be submissive in reality.

The game is about to invade reality soon.

At that time, the rules of the world will be subverted.

Before his rebirth, Lin Chen had personally seen some people who inherited game abilities not only not helping people, but instead doing evil everywhere… So Lin Chen has no good feelings for these people.

Of course, Lin Chen is not a saint.

He doesn't think that everyone who inherits game abilities must save people.

You can not save people when the apocalypse comes, but don't maliciously harm people!

"It's best for these gold diggers not to provoke me, otherwise I will definitely hunt them down and take all their equipment, suppressing their ratings, otherwise it will be troublesome to deal with them after the game invades!"

Lin Chen made up his mind secretly.

Of course, now that his equipment has not been maximized, and his pets have not been enhanced, and now he has been targeted by gold diggers, Lin Chen will definitely not leave the main city.

The dazzling light ended.

The pet that Liu Mengyao opened appeared in front of the two.

When opening pet eggs, only people in the team can see the results. Others don't know, unless the opened pet is qualified to be on the announcement banner.

"What did you open?"

Those gold diggers were very curious.

They hadn't gone far, and they kept staring at this side.

Liu Mengyao didn't know of their existence, and jumped up excitedly, saying in the team channel: "Lin Chen, it's a Zhu Bird, haha… It's still of Mythical quality! Look, two of the four-dimensional growths are SSS, two are SS, and there are three talent skills!"

Lin Chen was also stunned!

It's actually a Zhu Bird!

In fact, this bird has another name… Zhuque (Vermilion Bird)!

However, in *New World*, its name is Zhu Bird, and its identity seems to be a combination of the Vermilion Bird and Phoenix in Eastern mythology.

It communes with the gods and bathes in flames.

The temperature of this bird's flames can be controlled by the Zhu Bird itself.

In other words, it can burn whoever it wants.

After all, it possesses the Nanmingli Fire!

And the reason it is said to be a combination of the Zhuque and Phoenix is mainly because of its talent skills…

There are three in total, namely: Nanmingli Fire, Burning the Heavens and Scorching the Earth, and Nirvana Rebirth!

[Nanmingli Fire (Passive): All of the Zhu Bird's fire spells are divine fire from the heavens, increasing damage by 300%, and ignoring any magic defense.]

[Burning the Heavens and Scorching the Earth (Active): The Zhu Bird is born as a fire god, and can summon a raging fire to cover a 1000-yard area, dealing damage equal to Intelligence x 2.75 per second, lasting for thirty seconds. Cooldown time: ten minutes!]

[Nirvana Rebirth: After the Zhu Bird's health is exhausted, it will enter a state of Nirvana. This state lasts for thirty minutes. If it is not killed within thirty minutes, it will be reborn, and will permanently gain four-dimensional attributes equal to Level x Attribute Growth. After that, the level will be reduced to one, and it will lose all combat memories, but the master-servant relationship remains unchanged!]

After reading the three talent skills, Lin Chen was shocked.

As expected of a Mythical-level pet!
