Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 85 Parasite: Thorn Bird Hunter!

As the game's creator, Zhong Yi is well aware of just how good the services provided by the Destiny Academy are.

The Destiny Society is called the club of the chosen ones for a reason; here, the chosen ones can receive comprehensive services whenever they wish.

To obtain an Order Beast in the game, you need to spend at least 500,000 RMB.

This is without altering the rules and authority controlled by the Order Beast.

After spending so much money to enter the game, how could we possibly live up to the expectations of those whales if we didn't provide good service?

"Elder Ye, although this is my first time at the Destiny Society, there are people waiting for me outside, so I will not take advantage of the Destiny Society's services for now."

"I came here to exchange my potential points as a chosen one for some supplies."

Zhong Yi was very polite to the old man standing in front of her, partly because of her respect for the elderly and care for the young.

Secondly, it was because Zhongyi knew that this old man, who served as a deacon in the Destiny Society, was a hidden master in Star City.

Although Ye Futu was not a chosen one, he crossed the threshold of the Mythical Rank as an ordinary Beast Tamer and reached a completely new realm.

No intelligent person would be too arrogant in the face of such a powerful figure. Ye Futu looked at Zhong Yi with a smile and spoke respectfully with a kind tone.

"Let me take you to the rest area. The large screen there can display the treasures in the Treasure Vault that can be exchanged for with Potential Points."

"The contents of the Destiny Society's treasury are shared by all the chosen ones in the entire New Xia Federation."

"If the supplies you selected are not in Star City and need to be transferred from other cities, it may take several days."

"Lord Su Sheng, you've come at the perfect time. Just the night before last, a secret realm heart with earth attributes was placed into the treasure vault of the Heavenly Destiny Society."

"It is said to have been contributed by Lord Snake."

"If you need it, you'd better hurry, otherwise it will definitely be replaced by some adult in less than a week."

There's actually a Secret Realm Heart hanging in the Heavenly Destiny Society's treasury!

Zhong Yi was indeed somewhat surprised by this.

It was perfectly normal for a Heart of the Secret Realm to appear in the Destiny Society's treasury and be exchanged within a week, in Zhong Yi's view.

Zhong Yi had no doubt about what Ye Futu said, because even if the exchanger didn't need the earth-attribute Secret Realm Heart.

It can also be used to exchange for Secret Hearts of other attributes.

When Lin Zhuo gave Zhong Yi 1000 potential points, he had mentioned to Zhong Yi that he wanted to gain more potential points.

Besides the potential points issued annually by the New Summer Federation, there is another way to obtain potential points.

That is to put the resources in the treasure vault after they have been evaluated by the Destiny Society, and wait for other Destiny members to exchange them.

Once another chosen one replaces the resources that have been placed there, they will receive the corresponding potential points.

Those chosen by Heaven do receive assistance from their respective cities and the entire New Xia Federation, but this assistance is still limited in its impact on their growth.

In addition to relying on the potential points issued by the official organization each year, those who wish to acquire a large amount of resources from the Destiny Academy's treasury can also do so if they want to obtain them.

You also need to have enough wealth on hand to exchange for more potential points by consigning those precious materials.

This is precisely why many chosen ones are keen on developing their power.

Zhong Yi was somewhat curious: how many potential points were needed to exchange for a Heart of the Secret Realm?

According to Lin Zhuo, a Chosen One with S-level potential can obtain 5000 potential points per year.

The New Xia Federation has twelve supreme experts who are given the titles of "Three Emperors, Four Venerables, and Five Sovereigns".

The Serpent King has taken the position of one of the Five Kings!

As one of the strongest in the New Xia Federation, Serpent Lord actually had no need to use the Heart of the Secret Realm to exchange for the potential points of the Chosen One.

The Serpent King will hang this Earth-attribute Secret Realm Heart in the Heavenly Destiny Academy's treasury, primarily to encourage and help other Heavenly Destiny members. It is precisely because of the mutual assistance among Heavenly Destiny members that the resources available for purchase and exchange within the Heavenly Destiny Academy are increasing.

"Elder Ye, I would like to know how many potential points are needed to exchange for a Secret Realm Heart and a Sanctuary, respectively."

Zhong Yi asked the question she wanted to know directly, and Ye Futu smiled and replied.

"Regardless of the attribute, the Heart of the Secret Realm has a uniform price: 100,000 potential points."

"Because the area that the shelters produced in the first to fifth level secret realms can cover are not the same, it takes 1500 potential points to exchange for a level one shelter, 3000 potential points for a level two shelter, and 6000 potential points for a level three shelter."

"The prices for level four and level five shelters are 10,000 potential points and 20,000 potential points, respectively."

"Currently, the Destiny Academy's treasury no longer contains any Level 4 or Level 5 shelters available for exchange."

"If you need, I can reserve one for you in advance when the new level 4 and 5 shelters are put into storage."

"Because the demand for shelters is very high, their price is relatively higher than other resources."

Zhong Yi nodded secretly upon hearing this.

In other words, a Chosen One with an S-level potential rating can directly exchange for a Secret Realm Heart if they do not spend the potential points issued by the official organization for twenty years.

Twenty years for a secret realm's heart—this kind of benefit is far too generous no matter how you look at it.

Although the price of the shelter was a bit high, it did not exceed Zhongyi's expectations.

Even Zhongyi felt that the Destiny Society had set the price of the shelters too low because of their versatility.

If you were to sell the shelters obtained by exchanging potential points for those chosen ones, the price would definitely be higher than the price of exchanging for resources of the same value.

Those who become Chosen Ones generally wouldn't engage in activities like reselling resources within the Chosen Ones Academy using potential points.

This is really not worth it!

If a chosen one is willing to join a top-tier power, the benefits they can gain are far greater than those gained by reselling resources from the Destiny Academy's treasury through potential points.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

If a chosen one joins a top-tier power and receives its resources, they will naturally need to work and contribute to that power.

"Elder Ye, my potential points haven't been distributed yet, and I don't have many potential points on hand right now."

"Could you please go through all the resources with a potential score of less than 1000 on the scrolling screen for me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Futu smiled broadly and said...

"Lord Su Sheng, you are the only Chosen One in our New Xia Federation with a potential rating of SSS."

"If the potential rating submitted by Star City is approved, you should receive 20,000 potential points, based on the distribution method of doubling the potential points for each major level increase."

"By then, you will be able to exchange for anything in the Heavenly Destiny Academy's treasury, except for the Heart of the Secret Realm, which you cannot obtain. You will even be able to directly exchange for a Level 5 Sanctuary."

While Ye Futu was talking to Zhong Yi, his hands were moving very quickly.

Soon the large screen in the lounge lit up, and resources with less than 1,000 potential points appeared in front of Zhong Yi in ascending order.

A supernatural-grade bizarre skeleton costs 50 potential points.

Because the bizarre remains of the transcendent level cannot appear on the auction house, their actual value is not easily measured in Alliance Coins.

Soon, Zhongyi discovered that the exchange price for a Fairy Flashing Phosphorous Dragon Crystal was 100 potential points.

Before exchanging for the Fairy Phosphorescent Dragon Crystal, Zhong Yi specifically checked the auction records of the Fairy Phosphorescent Dragon Crystal.

Because the dragon crystals of the Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Dragon are extremely rare, there are not many transaction records available online.

On average, the value of a single Fairy Sparkling Dragon Crystal is generally around 370 million Federal Credits.

After converting a few potential points for a chosen one, it's equivalent to 30,000 to 40,000 Federal Credits.

A chosen one with a potential rating of S can receive 5000 potential points annually.

The potential points of an S-rank Chosen One are roughly equivalent to the 200 million federal currency that the New Summer Federation invests in Chosen Ones free of charge every year.

Because the resources in the Destiny Society's treasury are extremely rare and precious, they rarely appear on the market.

Therefore, the true value of 5000 potential points is only higher than 2 million!

Zhong Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the New Xia Federation was truly generous to the Chosen Ones.

As the screen scrolled, Zhongyi discovered that he had hired a three-finger creator for three months.

To have this three-finger creator provide full-time service over three months only requires 200 potential points.

Buying a three-finger creator for three months with 200 potential points is simply too cheap.

It is clear that the New Summer Federation has provided additional subsidies for this exchange.

"Elder Ye, I need four of the Fairy Flashing Scale Dragon's dragon crystals."

Upon hearing Zhongyi's words, Ye Futu immediately marked the spot.

Currently, the potential points for those who favor destiny are reduced to only 600!

But soon Zhongyi discovered another target that interested her.

These are a pair of parasitic bird-like predators called Thornbirds.

A pair of thornbirds, one male and one female, are priced at 500 potential points.

The Thornbird is a very special type of bird-taming beast; it cannot increase its strength and has no attributes.

However, after parasitizing thorns, its own bloodline becomes connected to the parasitic thorns.

By altering the attributes of Parasitic Thorns, one's own strength will also increase as Parasitic Thorns are upgraded.

The thornbird, while parasitizing thorns, also becomes a guardian of them, building nests and raising its young on the thorns.

Launch fearless attacks against any invading or destructive targets.

If Zhong Yi hadn't obtained the Sunlight Thorns in the Horned Demon Realm, he wouldn't have wanted to exchange for the Thorn Hunting Sparrows at all.

Zhongyi, who had obtained Sunlight Thorn and was preparing to form a contract with it through the Soul Seed, felt that this Thorn-Hunting Sparrow couple was the best partner for Sunlight Thorn.

The Sunlight Thorn only needs to absorb sunlight to quickly improve its rank and break through quality.

Once these parasitic birds, the Thorn-Hunting Finch, parasitize the Sun-Hunting Thorn, they can rapidly improve their strength and quality through the Sun-Hunting Thorn.

The thornbird is a bird species that is very adept at breeding.

Even thorny bushes are a delicious food for many predators in the natural environment.

The Thornbird is both fierce and bloodthirsty, and will not stop its attack until it has repelled or killed any intruders that damage its thorns.

It is precisely because of this nature that the thornbird has an extremely strong reproductive capacity.

In Zhong Yi's eyes, the combination of Sunlight Thorns and Thorn Hunting Sparrow is a great defensive beast-taming combination.

Together, they maintained a small, protected area.

In fact, when Zhongyi saw the pair of thornbirds, she thought of much more than that.

A very bold idea came to Zhongyi's mind!

Whether this idea can be realized depends on Zhong Yi's contract with Sunlight Thorns through the Soul Control Seed.

We need to observe at what rate the Sunburst Thorn can improve its rank and quality by absorbing sunlight to determine its effectiveness.

If the Sunlight Thorn increases its rank and quality extremely quickly, it can advance from the Mortal Beast rank to the Fantasy rank, or even the higher Mythical rank, in a very short time.

Zhong Yi could easily build a powerful fighting team by using the thornbirds that parasitize the sunburst thorns.

Each member of the team contracts with a newly hatched Thornbird, and then uses Sunburst Thorns to rapidly increase the strength of these Thornbirds.

In the natural environment, the thornbird's parasitism on thorns is actually a two-way selection process.

The thornbird will actively choose to parasitize thorns, but the thorns can also kill the thornbirds that parasitize them, turning the thornbirds into nutrients for growth.

This parasitic behavior will only continue if the thorn needs the protection of the thorn bird.

After forming a contract with Sunlight Thorn, Ke Zhongyi can command Sunlight Thorn to control the Thorn Finch's parasitism on Sunlight Thorn.

Zhong forced himself to suppress the excitement that arose in his heart from having this thought.

He spoke to Ye Futu in a calm and steady tone.

"I want those thornbirds!"

After selecting the Thorn Hunting Sparrows, Zhongyi only had 100 potential points left.

Just as Zhong Yi was about to finish exchanging items, Ye Futu suddenly spoke.

"Just now, seventeen more items from Lord Su Sheng were added to the treasure trove of the Destiny Society."

"Three of the items are worth less than 1000 points."

"I think one of these three items is extremely rare; I wonder if you would be interested."

Ye Futu did not stop the scrolling display of products on the screen, but instead handed the control panel he was holding to Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi saw the beasts appearing on the control panel and immediately felt a surge of excitement.

It's actually a mutated variety of the farmer's shrimp earthworm, the gardener's shrimp earthworm!

It's only priced at 200 potential points!

Even though Zhongyi only had 100 potential points left, he was determined to win over the Gardener Shrimp.

To others, the gardener's shrimp and earthworm may simply be a beast that can improve the soil in the long term, making it more fertile.

But in Zhong Yi's eyes, if the gardener earthworm could evolve again along its mutated bloodline, it would be a great thing.

The Gardener Shrimp and Earthworm will become a beast of comparable value to the Bloodthirsty Queen Bee!
