CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 102: A-LEVEL CONTRACT

The normal evolution path of Nirvana is the Thunder Ant King, with a quality that can reach Elite Level Middle Grade.

However, the Thunder Ant King is still a Strong Attack Guardian Beast, which does not meet Chu Chen’s requirements.

As for other evolution paths, there are only four kinds, three of which are strong attack types, and only one is defensive, with an extremely low success rate, and failure might even lead to the death of the Guardian Beast.

Chu Chen naturally had no interest in these evolution paths.

This situation is quite normal, as Thunder Ants are just Ordinary Level Upper Grade Guardian Beasts with low cultivation value, so few breeders waste time on them.

Currently, he can only pin his hopes on the Slaughter Atlas and that unknown Evolution Formula.

At present, his Slaughter Value is as high as over three thousand, which should be enough to exchange for an Evolution Formula.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen did not hesitate any longer and directly summoned the Slaughter Atlas for exchange.

Flashes of Golden Radiance appeared on the Slaughter Atlas, followed by over twenty evolution formulas appearing on it.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen’s face immediately showed a look of ecstasy, and he quickly examined them carefully.

A moment later, Chu Chen withdrew his gaze; these twenty evolution formulas could roughly be divided into three types.

The first is Strong Attack Type, the second is Agile Attack Type, and the third is Defense Type.

The Slaughter Value required to exchange these formulas also varies.

Ranging from one hundred points to one thousand points of Slaughter Value.

What Chu Chen needed was a Defense Type evolution formula, of which there were only five.

The first one is the Earth Rock Ant, an Earth Element Guardian Beast with extremely strong defense, but its quality can only reach Elite Level Lower Grade, its growth potential is not high, and its movement speed is slow, only effective in special terrains, with the Formula exchange cost of one hundred points of Slaughter Value.

The second is the Golden Armor Ant, a Gold Attribute Guardian Beast, with average defensive capabilities; similarly, its quality is not high, considered a median Guardian Beast, with no significant advantage, also requiring one hundred points of Slaughter Value for exchange.

The third is the Water Shield Ant, a Water Attribute Guardian Beast; its defense capabilities are not very strong, primarily using Water Shields to block damage, inclined towards Elemental Defense Type, with low cultivation value, requiring two hundred points of Slaughter Value for exchange.

The fourth is the Frost Ant, an Ice Attribute Guardian Beast, considered a Rare Attribute, its quality can reach Elite Level Middle Grade, with moderate defense capabilities, mainly by Ice Armor, having certain cultivation value, requiring five hundred points of Slaughter Value for exchange.

The fifth is the Wood Ant, a Dual Attribute Guardian Beast of Wood and Earth Elements, with notably strong defense capabilities and immense healing abilities, holding high cultivation value, its quality can reach Elite Level Upper Grade, requiring the highest expenditure of one thousand points of Slaughter Value for exchange.

Chu Chen almost didn’t need to think; he directly spent one thousand points of Slaughter Value to exchange for the evolution formula of the Wood Ant.

When Chu Chen checked the materials needed for the formula, his lips could not help but twitch; there were as many as twenty-three kinds of materials, and among these materials, there was something called a Wood and Earth Star Crystal, which he had never heard of.

Stuck, Chu Chen could only search online.

Wood and Earth Star Crystal is an Eighth-Grade Star Treasure, with a price ranging from two to three hundred thousand, but this Wood and Earth Star Crystal is a rare commodity, and whether it can be bought depends on luck.

Upon getting the result, Chu Chen was quite depressed; it seems necessary to join a Daoist School. The treasure trove inside the Daoist School has many good things; the number of Guardian Beasts will increase in the future, and the evolution instances will naturally increase too; he doesn’t want his strength to stagnate due to a lack of evolution materials.

Chu Chen also took the opportunity to check all the remaining evolution materials.

The remaining evolution materials are fairly ordinary and can be purchased at the association. Including the Wood and Earth Star Crystal, the total value of the materials needed for Nirvana’s evolution is around six hundred and seventy thousand.

Such a sizable amount of money is enough for Chu Chen to buy a Guardian Beast of the same quality.

However, Chu Chen values Nirvana’s indomitable combat will, which cannot be bought with money.

Moreover, Chu Chen plans to transfer the talent of the Blood Tiger Beast to Nirvana, thereby qualitatively enhancing Nirvana’s strength.

After playing with the two Guardian Beasts for a while, Chu Chen returned to the bed to consolidate his cultivation.

The next morning, just after breakfast, a commotion was heard outside Chu Chen’s house.

Looking through the peephole, he saw more than a dozen people standing outside the door.

They seemed to be arguing, but Chu Chen’s hearing was limited and couldn’t catch any key information.

However, he did notice a "familiar face" among the crowd, Li Wen.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Li Wen appearing here was likely because of him, meaning these people might all be here for him.

At this moment, the door suddenly knocked, and Chu Chen, who was spacing out, was startled by the sound.

He let out a small breath, adjusted his mindset, and then opened the door.

Only to see Li Wen and a middle-aged man standing at the door.

Li Wen saw this and immediately smiled, saying, "Chu Tongxue, this is Director Lu Hongfei of our Cyan Dragon Daoist School."

Chu Chen heard this and smiled, saying, "Oh, it’s Director Lu, please come in and have a seat."

After the two sat down, only then did Chu Chen inquire, "May I know the purpose of Director Lu’s visit?"

"Xiaochu, this visit is still about the contract. I only learned last night about your performance in the Secret Realm. Don’t take that B-level contract seriously; this time, we’ve prepared an A-level contract for you."

After receiving the contract, Chu Chen began to examine it closely.

The content of the contract was not much different from the previous D-level contract, but the benefits were greatly enhanced.

Every year, Cyan Dragon Daoist School would provide Chu Chen with five million in cultivation funds, until he graduates from college.

Cyan Dragon Daoist School would also provide him with five hundred points, each point valued at about ten thousand Alliance Coins.

Finally, Cyan Dragon Daoist School granted Chu Chen three free entries to the Secret Realm. He just needed to apply at Cyan Dragon Daoist School when he wanted to use them.

Chu Chen found this treatment satisfactory, but he still wanted to hear what other conditions other Daoist Schools might offer.

After putting the contract down, Chu Chen said to Lu Hongfei, "I will consider it first, I need to hear the opinions of my parents on this matter."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hongfei’s expression remained unchanged, he looked out the door and said meaningfully, "I sent those people away. At most, they could only offer you an A-level contract."

Chu Chen scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this; it seemed his peeping from behind the door was already discovered by the other party.

Seeing this, Lu Hongfei smiled and said, "I have high hopes for you; your performance in the Secret Realm far exceeded my expectations. Don’t worry, the treatment I’m offering is the best; besides the resources listed in the contract, I’ll personally give you five million Alliance Coins and five hundred Daoist School points. Moreover, all your expenses in the Cyan Dragon Daoist School will be covered by me."

Li Wen was about to say something upon hearing this, but a glare from Lu Hongfei made her hold back discreetly.

"Is this true?" Chu Chen exclaimed in surprise.

The reason for Chu Chen’s shock was because these five hundred points could not be purchased with money; they had to be earned by completing tasks released by the Daoist School, indicating the weight of these five hundred points.

Hearing this, Lu Hongfei nodded and said, "True, my highest authority is only A-level. If you perform well in the future, I can apply for an S-level contract for you and recommend you to join the True Dragon Training Camp. Can we sign now?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen instantly showed a look of joy and replied quickly, "I’ll sign now."
