Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Three Treasure Chests

TL: Etude

Today, after devouring that mutated crawfish, he continued to devour various creatures in the river before teleporting to another area.

Over the course of an entire day, coupled with the 30,000 evolution points gained from devouring that extraterrestrial creature, he accumulated more than 70,000 evolution points.

Upon returning, he immediately chose to evolve and only just woke up now.

“I clearly feel that my body has grown larger again, and my combat power should have increased.”

With a thought, the system panel reappeared before his eyes.

Host: Lin Hao

Species: Single-Horned Fire Carp Newt

Level: 22

Body Length: 6.1 meters

Weight: 1580 jin

Combat Power: 122

Skills: Super Charge, Night Battle, Camouflage, Fire Scale, Powerful Bite, Powerful Tail Slap, Iron Scales

Divine Ability: Auspicious Guardian lv7

Evolution Points: 48,741/40,000

“My combat power has increased by twelve points, which is pretty good. The other skills don’t seem to have changed much.”

“Wait, what the hell, the next evolution requires 40,000 evolution points!?”

“Is it really true that each level of evolution now requires an additional 10,000 points?!”

Seeing this, Lin Hao felt extremely frustrated.

The required evolution points were increasing more and more.

“But fortunately, I gained quite a lot of evolution points today, hehe.”

Thinking about the mutated crawfish he devoured, Lin Hao felt a bit thrilled.

Although devouring a single mutated crawfish only yielded 18,000 evolution points, there were many small mutated crawfish, and he devoured countless of them.

“This indicates that the offspring of mutated creatures are also mutated and yield more evolution points when devoured.”

“If species like tilapia and catfish also mutate and reproduce in large numbers, won’t devouring them yield even more evolution points?”

“However, for ordinary people, this would be a disaster.”

Thinking of this, Lin Hao’s expression turned grim.

The changes happening on Earth were becoming more apparent.

Moreover, the frequency of mutated creatures appearing was increasing, not to mention those extraterrestrial creatures descending from the sky.

“Mom and Dad should be fine.”

Thinking of this made Lin Hao uneasy.

“And Luo Xue, I haven’t seen her in a while.”

As he thought about it, he kept swimming back and forth in the Hualong Pond.

He felt a bit uneasy.

“I have no choice; I still can’t do anything now.”

“I need to become stronger, strong enough to handle more things.”

After calming himself down, Lin Hao clicked on a golden icon on the system panel.

At that moment, a pop-up of completed tasks appeared before his eyes.

Normal Task: Devour 100 river shrimps (100/100)

Normal Task: Devour 10 eels (10/10)

Difficult Task: Devour 10 mutated creatures (10/10)

“Hehe, I’ve completed three tasks this time.”

When he teleported back today, he chose to evolve immediately, forgetting to check the completed tasks.

Today, he found enough eels to devour and successfully completed the task.

The task to devour ten mutated creatures, which had made little progress before, was completed today after devouring so many mutated crawfish!

“Claim!”

Without hesitation, Lin Hao chose to claim all rewards!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining a white treasure chest

Congratulations to the host for obtaining a white treasure chest

Congratulations to the host for obtaining a blue treasure chest

Would you like to open them immediately?

“Open, open them all!”

At that moment, as the three treasure chest icons appeared, Lin Hao chose to open them immediately!

As the three treasure chests slowly opened, numerous entries appeared.

Just looking at them made Lin Hao feel a bit dizzy.

“This time, I must get something good!” Lin Hao murmured to himself.

The entries began to spin rapidly.

His eyes darted around, unsure of where to focus.

Soon, the entries from the first white treasure chest started to slow down.

Strength Increase

In an instant, this entry turned into a white light and rushed into Lin Hao’s body.

As the light entered his body, he vaguely felt that his entire body had indeed become stronger.

Especially his limbs.

“Not bad.”

Even though white treasure chests often yielded ordinary skills, they still provided a tangible increase in strength.

“My combat power increased by three points!”

Upon closer inspection, Lin Hao saw that his overall combat power had increased to 125 points!

The entries from the second white treasure chest began to slow down.

Strength Increase

“Another strength increase?” Lin Hao’s eyes widened.

He got two identical entries.

Just like before, this entry turned into white light and entered his body.

“Although I felt stronger, it wasn’t as noticeable as the first time.”

Looking at his system panel, Lin Hao saw his overall combat power had increased by only two points, reaching 127 points.

“Could it be that the more times this effect from the white treasure chest is applied, the less effective it becomes?”

He felt a bit frustrated.

“Hey!?”

At that moment, the entries from the blue treasure chest stopped spinning.

They settled on one entry:

Crimson Flame

“What is this!?”

Lin Hao was surprised.

As he focused on the entry, he saw some explanatory notes:

Crimson Flames: Shoots a crimson flame that deals burning damage. Increases fire resistance. (cooldown: one minute).

“This seems pretty good!”

Lin Hao’s eyes brightened as he looked at the new skill.

This ability allowed him to shoot fire!

Although the blue-level skill’s effect might not be very powerful, it was still something.

If it were a purple-level skill or higher, it would be even better.

“Better than nothing.”

The entry turned into a blue light and rushed into Lin Hao’s body.

He vaguely felt some changes within his body.

He could instinctively feel that he had learned this ability as if he had always known how to shoot fire!

“Let’s test it out.”
