Starting with Crimson

【Storage Bucket】

[Grade: A]

Having undergone a spatial leap, your foot bath tub now possesses spatial attributes, and Crimson Evolution has further developed this spatial ability.

[It can freely change size and has a huge internal space, but unfortunately... it can only hold foot-washing water...]

This is a foot bath tub with a dream: to hold all the foot bath water in the world!

That's right, judging from this description alone, the water container can only hold water for washing feet.

However... it doesn't say that the foot bath water can only be used for Li Qingyu's foot bath water.

Before leaving home in the morning, Li Qingyu was drinking Sanchang rice porridge while lost in thought.

I watched Princess Kiki sitting on the windowsill, drinking water from a pineapple-brand glass cup.

A flash of inspiration.

A bold idea sprouted in my mind.

Then, through a simple little experiment.

Li Qingyu finally discovered it...

The storage bucket, an A-grade space prop that Li Qingyu had forgotten about in the corner of the living room and which the husky had used as a chew toy for two days, is now being used correctly.

If you pour water directly into the container, it won't fit.

but....

If that water, Qiqi would rinse it with her feet.

Then you can totally pretend...

That's right, Qiqi's foot-washing water perfectly complies with the rule that the bucket should only contain foot-washing water.

More importantly... when Li Qingyu was scooping water from the storage bucket with a glass, he accidentally dropped the glass into the bucket.

What does this mean?

Hehehe....

Looking at the glass that had sunk into the foot bath water, Li Qingyu's mind suddenly clicked.

Countless ingenious ideas were born.

As expected... there are no useless tools, only useless users!

To be honest, Li Qingyu didn't mind at all that Qiqi had rinsed the water.

After all, Qiqi is a thousand-year-old natural spirit, belonging to the plant family. Soaking it in water and drinking it should be similar to... a thousand-year-old ginseng or something?

[Crimson: This old man thinks you could be a psychological counselor, young man.]

Ignoring Crimson's teasing.

Li Qingyu looked at the crystal-clear magic core in his hand after it had been washed clean.

The magic cores, varying in size but all uniformly yellow, gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.

Based on his experience of consuming magic cores over the past few days, Li Qingyu discovered that the magic cores of native creatures on Saha Star are basically yellow magic cores containing earth-type magic power, differing only in name and size.

As for the taste, there's absolutely no difference.

After a slight hesitation, I felt the tremors in the desert, which showed no signs of stopping and instead intensified.

Li Qingyu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Fine... I'll just go for it...

Ten minutes later.

Li Qingyu finally finished digesting all the magic cores he had acquired this time.

Leave only one to evolve and see if there will be any unexpected surprises.

That's right, Li Qingyu still hasn't forgotten that idea... of being able to be self-sufficient.

You should always have dreams; what if they come true by chance?

Looking at the crimson panel in his mind, he saw six more evolution points, bringing his total to thirteen.

Li Qingyu let out a satisfied burp and sat there, pinching his lips together.

Finally, Li Qingyu felt that the tremors, which had lasted for more than ten minutes, were beginning to subside.

Li Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, after all, who knew what problems might arise on Saha Star if the shaking continued like this.

What if... the earth's crust cracks?

What if... the Earth's core erupts?

What if... our pineapple castle collapses?

Although Li Qingyu didn't know whether there was lava or anything like that underground on Saha Star.

But that doesn't stop him from worrying about it.

He casually pulled out the magic core, which was only the size of a marble and had been kept by him.

[Germain General's Magic Core]

[Rank: E]

[A magic core containing a trace of earth-elemental magic.]

Li Qingyu's eyes lit up after glancing at the attributes of the magic core.

Success or failure hinges on this!

[Crimson: I know what you're thinking, but kid, do you really think... a perpetual motion machine would exist in this world? Stop daydreaming...]

Continue to ignore Crimson's teasing.

Everyone has dreams, so how could he not have them?

Besides, this isn't just being silly; it's also considered unlucky, which can really affect your mood...

Lots of orders, so capricious!

What do you say?

It's not something to be used carelessly; what if it gets bigger?

Clinging to beautiful fantasies, a red light flashed in Li Qingyu's eyes.

use.

Crimson Evolution!

In an instant, the Sand Rat General's magic core was enveloped by a deep red flame that surged from the void.

Li Qingyu tried touching the flame with his finger, but it had no heat at all.

Li Qingyu tentatively reached in, but his hand passed right through the flames without him even sensing the Sand Rat General's magic core.

It's as if this crimson flame is just a phantom that doesn't exist in reality.

The next second, the flames dissipated.

At this moment, what appeared before Li Qingyu was...

Um... how should I describe it...?

A bottle of perfectly packaged... yellow poop?

Please forgive Li Qingyu's lack of vocabulary, because this is the only adjective he can think of for the time being.

............................

Saha Star.

In the center of a vast purple oasis, beneath a twisted and terrifying black giant tree.

At this moment, a minotaur sat upright, his body purple, his clothes tattered, and he had only one demonic horn on his head.

It was Otis, the Demon Emperor of Purgatory, who had been working tirelessly to restore his original nature.

Suddenly, a series of system notifications rang in Otis's ears.

[System: Angel, a contestant from the Pet Civilization, has defeated Lilith, a contestant from the Abyss Civilization, ending Lilith's rampage.]

What?!

Lilith is dead!?

That's impossible!!!

As for the subsequent system prompts, Otis was no longer interested in listening to them.

Because his heart was filled with fear.
