Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 162: Exchanging Evolution Materials

Gudu University, Resource Repository.

Shi Yu came again, to prepare evolution materials for Buggy!

This time, he was well-prepared.

In addition to the equivalent of 130 million yuan, he also brought three large boxes of top-quality insect silk, ten top-quality spirit fruits, and five top-quality sachets.

For the time being, Shi Yu only had time to prepare these. He just didn't know how much the latter could sell for...

"The best news now is that the nutrients produced by Baby Ginseng can improve racial potential and change evolution aptitude!"

On the way, Shi Yu was in a good mood.

Although, limited by the level of nutrients, Baby Ginseng's nutrients cannot improve Eleven's or its own racial potential and evolution aptitude, it is more than enough to improve the potential of the Green Silkworm, which is currently only a low-level transcendent species.

It can be said that a large batch of Baby Ginseng's nutrients is locked into Buggy's evolution materials.

This thing, which can increase lifespan and improve racial potential, is too suitable for the short-lived and highly potential Green Silkworm.

Shi Yu doesn't have to worry about evolution potential for the time being, so next, he just needs to find some suitable mental and spatial resources for Buggy to fix its attributes after evolution.

Current goal... spend around 300 million.

There's no need to compare the value of evolution materials with Eleven; it's not determined by the amount of money but by compatibility.

Moreover, there is basically only one way for Green Silkworms to use evolution materials.

Eating.

If the evolution materials are too high-level or too numerous, it will burst the Green Silkworm, as its body is too fragile.

So generally, after eating evolution materials, Green Silkworms will immediately use their racial talent to form a cocoon, transferring the vast, unabsorbable nutrients and energy to the cocoon to slowly absorb, allowing this energy to change itself and complete evolution.

Normal Green Silkworms can only use level three or four evolution materials at most.

However, Shi Yu has locked in higher-level materials, which is actually because Buggy's insect silk is high enough in level and growth level to absorb and withstand more energy and nutrients.

It would be difficult for other Green Silkworms to replicate such a feat.

"There are quite a few people here today..."

Unlike last time, there were quite a few people near the Resource Repository this time.

After all, school was about to start, and both new and returning students had already arrived.

This time, like the end of the semester, is when the Resource Repository is busiest.

At the entrance of the Resource Repository, in the small house that served as a security room, Shi Yu glanced around and didn't find the overlord-level Gem Cat.

Instead, there was a female teacher sitting lazily at the reception desk, yawning as she helped students register.

After Shi Yu waited until there were no students around the female teacher, he quickly completed the registration and went straight to the Appraisal Building.

This is where students sell various rare materials in exchange for credits.

Upon arrival, his gaze swept across the spacious hall, resplendent with gold.

Coincidentally, it was quiet when Shi Yu arrived, and a teacher with sparse hair and glasses directly received Shi Yu.

Behind the appraisal table, the bespectacled teacher looked at Shi Yu, who was wearing a mask and hat, with a smile.

This kid is really bundled up tight, like he won the lottery.

No, he looks more like a villain fencing stolen goods on TV...

"Student, exchanging materials?"

"What kind? Take them out."

He looked at the backpack Shi Yu was carrying.

"The first one is this."

Shi Yu took out a sample of insect silk from his backpack.

As for the several other boxes of insect silk, they were in the ruins space.

At this time, on the appraisal table, neatly arranged in a delicate jade box was layer upon layer of transparent insect silk.

After Buggy's insect silk reaches max level, its color can be white, it can have a transparent texture, and it can be completely invisible, all depending on its mood. The properties do not change.

"Insect silk with manifest properties..."

"Transcendental Grade?!" The appraising teacher looked at the material in the box and asked, "Which pet's is it?"

The Insect Silk skill isn't exclusive to the Green Silkworm; the teacher hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Green Silkworm."

Teacher: ???

Are you kidding me?

The Green Silkworm, a low-level transcendent species with a pathetically short lifespan?

"Teacher, it's a Green Silkworm King that awakened a special bloodline, mastered Intimidation, and reached the transcendent level."

"In its life, it absorbed ten billion worth of rare space resources such as the Void Crystal Fruit and the Void Spirit Flower, shaping its insect silk into top-quality space insect silk that surpasses the transcendental grade."

"And these are the few strands of fine silk it spent a long time condensing. Each strand contains extremely special power, is incredibly tough, and has unique effects. It can not only break through skills like Void Concealment, but it can even break through the ethereal abilities of Legendary Beast Tamers at will."

"Even its quasi-Monarch race evolution form cannot withstand a single move from its insect silk."

Shi Yu spoke with profoundness, describing it in detail.

"Rare in the world, one of a kind!"

"Huh?" After Shi Yu finished speaking, the teacher opposite him was stunned.

Are you sure you're not kidding me?

Special bloodline, transcendent-level Green Silkworm? Space-attribute insect silk nurtured with ten billion worth of space resources?

Bullshit!

The teacher was about to retort, but suddenly, Shi Yu took off his mask and hat.

Seeing Shi Yu's face, the teacher thought "holy crap" in his mind.

Suddenly, he felt that it might be true.

Because he knew Shi Yu and his Green Silkworm.

The Gudu University teacher, of course, knew that this year's Gudu Professional Assessment's champion has a miraculous Green Silkworm, less than a month after the professional assessment.

He... didn't realize it!

"Student Shi Yu..." The appraising teacher had a mournful face. Holy crap, what he said was true.

It was clearly true, so why did he get such an absurd feeling just now?

So this kind of insect silk was nurtured with ten billion in resources.

No wonder it's so strong. So that's why.

He believed it...

"Teacher, can you estimate the price?"

Shi Yu said, "You should know how powerful this Green Silkworm's insect silk is."

"It can simulate sword energy from afar, seize puppets from parasitic worms up close, and even run ads. It's invincible."

Shi Yu had to brag.

Because the Green Silkworm's growth level is too low. Even if its insect silk proficiency is off the charts, the insect silk it produces can't be considered a high-level resource. It can only be said to be an ultra-rare resource.

"This..." The appraising teacher was sweating on his forehead. As an "expert," he was determining the value of the insect silk through appraisal glasses.

Honestly, it's hard to estimate the price of such uncommon, ultra-rare resources.

"How much do you have?"

While the appraising teacher was analyzing, a fluffy, doll-like, large, white cat with a V-shaped head and smooth fur jumped up from somewhere on the side of the appraisal table and approached the insect silk.

Its fluffy tail swayed as it walked to the insect silk. Its sky-blue gem eyes stared straight at the box of insect silk. Good stuff!!

Although the material level was a bit low, only level three in terms of energy, it had never seen such high-quality insect silk!!

If insect silk were divided into race levels...

Then the insect silk Shi Yu took out, in its eyes, was comparable to a mythical race!!

Resource ratings depend on energy level, not rarity, but energy level doesn't represent ultimate value.

The value of resources is determined by the level of energy, nutrition, function, and rarity.

This is why some low-level space materials and dragon materials are more expensive than high-level resources.

Buggy's insect silk is roughly equivalent to a level three space resource, but its strength lies in its unparalleled rarity!

Looking at the box of level three insect silk, the Gem Cat was tempted.

The level doesn't matter; it's the rarity that matters, with its high collectible value!

"Teacher Ying." The appraising teacher and Shi Yu greeted as the white Gem Cat appeared.

The guardian of Gudu University, the overlord-level Gem Cat that had lived for over a hundred years, had arrived!

"How much do you want?" Shi Yu kicked the question back.

Isn't this stuff unlimited?

"You have a lot?" Overlord Gem Cat Ying remembered Shi Yu. Wasn't this the kid with the ruins space from before?

Its ears twitched, and the fur around its neck, like a "scarf," relaxed as it said, "Come with me. We'll talk inside."

"Okay!" Shi Yu was excited.

He originally came to the Resource Repository intending to find her, but he didn't expect her to come to him.

Under the bewildered expression of the appraising teacher, Shi Yu left without hesitation, following the Gem Cat.

"Good heavens..." The appraising teacher muttered, watching their backs.

The material to be sold was favored by the overlord cat?

Shi Yu was about to get rich!

This multi-billionaire Gem Cat gave much better prices than the school!

...

Inside the appraisal room.

Facing the Gem Cat, who was either a clone or its main body, Shi Yu took out the three large boxes of insect silk that Buggy had worked so hard to condense.

This kind of fine insect silk at this resource level was more strenuous than what it produced during battle. It wasn't like it could just spew out a lot. Over two days, Buggy ate a pile of nutrients provided by Baby Ginseng to produce this much.

"Meow..." Seeing the insect silk, the overlord Gem Cat was stunned.

It seemed to see a drained Green Silkworm through the insect silk.

(Buggy: I really don't have any left...)

"Is there more?"

"I don't have any more insect silk for now, but I have other materials I plan to exchange."

Shi Yu also took out the spirit fruits that Baby Ginseng had made by combining Sweet Scent with nutrients.

These spirit fruits used max-level Sweet Scent and Nutrient skills, a combination of the two's profound mysteries.

As for the scent, because it was originally prepared for the overlord Gem Cat, Shi Yu chose the Gem Cat race's favorite "Gem Mint" spirit plant as the main scent, incorporating three other scents that the Gem Cat liked, perfectly preserving all of their characteristics.

This was a delicious spirit fruit with a very layered scent.

Of course, the attractiveness of Sweet Scent was definitely many times that of the original plant's scent!

A green fruit was placed on the table by Shi Yu. He originally just wanted to cater to its preferences to sell it for more money... However, a sudden change directly stunned Shi Yu.

Boom!!!

A vast aura erupted from the Gem Cat. Shi Yu retreated in confusion as the Gem Cat's gem eyes lit up. After smelling the scent, it looked at the fruit with a delighted expression!!

"Meow!!!! (Yay!!! It's delicious!!)" The overlord Gem Cat's paw pressed down on the green fruit, its eyes excited, and drool uncontrollably flowed from the corner of its mouth.

"This, this is..." It asked Shi Yu.

"A special kind of nutrient."

Shi Yu didn't expect such a big reaction. He felt he had underestimated the appeal of the super-nutrient fruit made by Baby Ginseng...

Although this was just a level four resource in terms of energy, it seemed that the special effects brought by max-level Sweet Scent and max-level Nutrients were enough to increase its allure to specific groups by several levels!

"It can increase a pet's vitality, change evolution aptitude, relieve fatigue, and put the consumer in a state of peace and tranquility."

After Shi Yu finished speaking, the Gem Cat didn't listen to much.

"Can I eat it?"

"You can eat it..."

"How much do you have? I want all of it."

The Gem Cat patted the fruit. Although it felt that the nutritional value inside wouldn't do anything to improve it, it smelled so good. This level of nutritious spirit fruit with this kind of taste almost made it want to swallow it in one bite.

"Wait, where did you get this thing?" It looked at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu: "My pet grew it."

"Meow!!!" The overlord Gem Cat's fur stood on end. You're telling me this thing can be mass-produced??

"Teacher, if you like it, I'll send you one every month," Shi Yu said generously.

Gem Cat: ???

One?

Are you feeding a stray cat? It's a Gem Cat!

"...How about 30 a month?" If it could eat this kind of after-dinner fruit every day, the Gem Cat felt its cat life would reach its peak.

Thirty?

Shi Yu's eyelids twitched.

It's not easy for Baby Ginseng to make this...

"Of course, I won't freeload."

"Are you exchanging these because you urgently need credits?" The cat elegantly licked its paw, like a lady.

"My pet just needs a sum of evolution materials."

The Gem Cat said, "Understood. I've collected a lot of materials in my private warehouse, from level 1 to 8. You can take any materials from the school's Resource Repository in the future. I'll reimburse you. You just need to send me some of these spirit fruits every month. How's that?"

"Of course, take what you need. Don't take all the high-level materials at once; otherwise, it'll be hard to explain to the school. And my little treasury is already less than ten billion."

The Gem Cat looked at the green fruit, telling itself that money was an external thing. Food was a cat's heaven.

At this time, Shi Yu was stunned.

This works???

He just wanted to sell some resources, exchange them for some money and credits, and then buy evolution materials...

Now, the Gem Cat was telling him that he could choose any materials from the school's Resource Repository and the overlord Gem Cat's private warehouse and it would reimburse him?

He just needed to provide some of these spirit fruits every month?

Shi Yu was lost, calculating the deal in his heart, once again feeling he had underestimated the appeal of the spirit fruits made with the max-level Sweet Scent + max-level Nutrients combo to specific pets.

In addition, this deal was definitely worth it because, although Baby Ginseng needed to consume a lot of energy to make these attractive spirit fruits, it could freeload energy from nature. Moreover, if all the resources could be reimbursed, Shi Yu could take enough energy crystals, and the energy Baby Ginseng consumed could be replenished immediately.

So, this was basically a freeloading deal.

"How is it?!" Seeing Shi Yu not saying anything, the Gem Cat asked again.

"No problem." After saying that, Shi Yu quickly took out the remaining nine spirit fruits, afraid the Gem Cat would go back on its word.

Seeing the ten spirit fruits, the Gem Cat's eyes lit up even more.

"You're very good. You're the most promising student I've seen in over a hundred years. In the future, I'll protect you at Gudu University."

Shi Yu: "..."

Did he just hug a super-thick thigh?

Also, it was a cat. Although it was female, it shouldn't count as dating a sugar mama, right?

However, with a small treasury of several billion, this Gem Cat was really excessive... Was it a cat or a dragon...?

"Snap." At this time, the Gem Cat had already used telekinesis to control a green fruit, making it float in front of it. After taking a bite and patiently chewing, its face was full of happiness, and a little regret. It was a pity that it was too strong now. If it had eaten this kind of spirit fruit before the monarch level, it would have been even happier.

"~~" After eating a spirit fruit in two or three bites, the Gem Cat was a little intoxicated. After tasting it again, it confirmed that it hadn't misjudged. This spirit fruit was indeed delicious, even more delicious than the level seven and eight resources it had eaten.

It could almost be said to be the most perfect food it had eaten in its cat life.

"Choose it yourself. The list in the black folder is the school's Resource Repository materials. The white folder records the materials I've collected myself." The Gem Cat summoned a laptop out of thin air, controlling it to fly in front of Shi Yu.

At this time, Shi Yu trembled slightly, not expecting everything to go so smoothly.

The meaning was that the pile of credits in his card and his own small treasury not only didn't need to be spent, but he could also directly take away a pile of evolution materials next?

"Buggy, if you don't evolve into a quasi-overlord race, you'll be letting me and Baby Ginseng down..."
