The Flame White Horse has evolved, and the next should be the evolution of the Mechanical Pupil.
However, White Spider suggested delaying the evolution of the Mechanical Pupil.
"The Mechanical Pupil should evolve when it's time for the Golden Nine. It's not even at Silver yet, and it's a long way from evolving. It's better to let others have this evolution opportunity."
Indeed, it's still early for the Mechanical Pupil to evolve, as it will take a long time for it to reach Golden Nine.
Among all the pet beasts of Li Cunxu, only the growth talent [Quantum Superposition] of the Mechanical Pupil does not help in improving its realm. Li Cunxu expects that the Mechanical Pupil might be the last in the team to advance to Silver, and the same for Gold, likely the last.
"Others? Who?"
Li Cunxu wondered, as none of the pet beasts in the team seemed in urgent need of evolution!
White Spider replied, "Water Slime, Fire Slime, Ice Slime... them.
It's not very difficult for the Slimes under Xiaoruan to break through from Black Iron to Bronze. If they evolve, their potential will increase, and the level barrier will no longer exist."
"Ah! That's true."
As the Slimes become stronger, naturally, the attribute taxes collected increase. The more attribute taxes, the faster Xiaoruan grows.
Li Cunxu went by the river to catch a Water Slime and said to the Polar Crystal Dragon wrapped around his neck, "Polar Crystal, deduce the evolution form of the Water Slime... the cheapest way."
Evolution requires consuming evolutionary resources, meaning each Slime's evolution needs to consume a share of evolutionary resources.
With so many Slimes under Xiaoruan, the consumption of evolutionary resources is massive, and if the resources are expensive, Li Cunxu really couldn't afford it.
The Polar Crystal Dragon nodded, indicating understanding, and closed its eyes to perceive the most cost-efficient evolution for the Water Slime.
Li Cunxu saw it open its eyes again and asked, "How many merit points does the deduction need?"
The Polar Crystal Dragon hadn't learned human language yet and responded with Dragon Language.
"Awooo~ (Ten merit points)"
Li Cunxu was slightly surprised, "This time it uses so few merit points."
The Polar Crystal Dragon said, "Awooo~ (The structure of Slimes is simple, so the deduction consumes very little.)"
"Do you have enough merit points, ten?"
"Awooo~ (Enough.)"
With that, the Polar Crystal Dragon began the deduction, its eyes becoming vacant.
"Awooo~ (Three-Star Water Slime's evolution method: Stand on the three-way fusion platform with two Water Slimes, fusion evolution, and drink the Eternal Coagulant afterward.)"
"The deduced evolution method is actually fusion evolution, quite interesting."
"The resources consumed are just two Water Slimes and an inexpensive Eternal Coagulant, indeed very cost-effective."
Li Cunxu immediately placed an order in the Purple Gold Online Store, purchasing a three-way fusion platform.
The three-way fusion platform is a tool that allows three pet beasts to temporarily merge together.
The three-way fusion platform is very cheap, costing only three Purple Gold Dragon Coins. Its low cost is because, whether in arena battles or field fights, the three-way fusion platform is rarely needed, as its fusion effect is quite weak.
It merges three pet beasts into one, but the three heads of the pet beasts do not merge.
One body, three heads, and all three heads can control the body.
One head wants to step left, the second wants to step right, the third head doesn't want to move. If one body receives three commands, how should it operate?
If the merging of three pet beasts could enhance their strength, this drawback could be overcome, but there's no such if, as merging with the three-way fusion platform actually decreases the strength.
Using the three-way fusion platform, all three pet beasts need to consume a lot of spiritual energy, and after the fusion, their strength does not increase.
Instead of increasing strength, they consume a lot of spiritual energy due to fusion, so indeed, the strength not only doesn't go up but goes down instead.
The drawbacks of the three-way fusion platform are not over, as maintaining the fusion form also requires a large consumption of spiritual energy.
So, this tool has only drawbacks and no advantages.
A tool with so many flaws, selling for three Purple Gold Dragon Coins, is already very expensive.
Why dare to sell it for three Purple Gold Dragon Coins?
Because the production cost of a three-way fusion platform is ten Purple Gold Dragon Coins, and selling it cheaper would make the doctor who invented it unwilling.
It wouldn't matter if one three-way fusion platform was sold at a low price, but the problem is that the doctor had two hundred three-way fusion platforms stuck in his hands.
After its invention, the three-way fusion platform underwent simple testing, and the doctor believed it would be a hit, expected to become the hottest and most sought-after tool, even changing the Beast Master competition rules to let three battles (where both Beast Masters simultaneously send three pet beasts into the arena) appear in Beast Master tournaments.
As a result, the doctor exhausted all his assets to manufacture two hundred three-way fusion platforms.
On the day of the sale, the two hundred fusion platforms sold out instantly, with scalpers reselling them for ten times the price. Once people tested the fusion platform's effect and confronted the doctor, all two hundred platforms were returned at the original price.
"Besides the three-way fusion platform, I also need to buy some Transparent Rubbergrass seeds. Transparent Rubbergrass seeds can't be bought online; I need to go to Tongdu to purchase them." Li Cunxu muttered.
Transparent Rubbergrass produces a rubber-like transparent liquid resembling glass, which can be used to make rubber.
Li Cunxu doesn't plant Transparent Rubbergrass to produce rubber but to make the Eternal Coagulant needed for the evolution of the Three-Star Water Slime.
Transparent Rubbergrass is the main herb for the Eternal Coagulant.
"Achoo~"
A cold wind blew, and Li Cunxu sneezed.
Just now, the sunny sky turned, and hail the size of rice grains began to fall, coming down like a torrential storm, soon covering the ground with a layer of ice.
The cause of the drastic weather change was the pioneering war on the land's coast. The warrior's battle over there had a vast influence, disrupting the surrounding weather, making it extremely chaotic.
Sometimes hail, sometimes scorching sun, sometimes torrential rain, sometimes thunderstorms...
In the morning, temperatures were forty degrees, while in the afternoon, they dropped to minus fifteen degrees.
The Beast Master's constitution is weaker than that of pet beasts, and Li Cunxu struggled to cope with such drastic temperature changes.
Not only was Li Cunxu struggling, but the weaker colts in the herd couldn't handle it either.
Li Cunxu patrolled the herd on the prairie and, seeing the poor condition of the foals, said, "Achoo~ If we keep being tormented like this, a batch of colts will surely die."
"I need to build them a stable to shelter them from the wind and rain and withstand harsh weather."
Li Cunxu gathered a group of Slimes to construct a stable on the prairie.
Xiaoruan was in charge of chopping down trees, and when the Cyan Lotus Sword Blade swung out, the trees fell in batches. The Intelligent Slime directed the other Slimes, who used their bodies to transport the wood to the prairie. The Grass Slime swung its grass blades to carve the wood into planks, and then, under the command of the Intelligent Slime, used simple mortise and tenon structures to assemble the planks into a stable.
The use of mortise and tenon was not a show of skill by the Intelligent Slime but due to the lack of nails.
