Starting with Crimson

Pineapple Burger, first floor kitchen.

Li Qingyu stood in front of the refrigerator, looking at the only orange soda and golden fried rice left, feeling extremely conflicted.

Should I eat it or not?

Yes, Li Qingyu, who was about to go upstairs to hunt birds, suddenly realized... eating was more important...

As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."

There's no reason to go hungry before a battle; you need to be well-fed and watered to have the confidence to fight.

Golden Egg Fried Rice

[Grade: D]

[A luminous dish from an ancient land, absolutely delicious.]

Orange Soda

[Grade: D]

Orange-flavored soda can quickly restore energy.

These two items were from a giant treasure chest that Li Qingyu opened when he first arrived on Saha Star. He had opened quite a few of them and had been eating them intermittently until now, with only this last one left.

In other words... if we eat them this time, these two items will become unavailable forever...

Unless, Li Qingyu tries his luck with another system treasure chest.

Unfortunately...

Except for the first day after entering Saha Star, when Li Qingyu had no choice but to follow Shen Hong's guidance, he spent half a day finding the giant golden treasure chest.

For the next few days, Li Qingyu didn't go far from home again, let alone search for treasure chests....

Even though Crimson had clearly told him last time that there was a silver treasure chest nearby, Li Qingyu had no intention of going out.

Everything should be for the greater good... If you can survive, don't be reckless!

You're already in first place, why bother going out and having fun? It's completely unnecessary...

If they die from recklessness...wouldn't the overall ranking of oases on Earth drop significantly?

Therefore, for the sake of the greater good of Blue Star, Li Qingyu had no choice but to reluctantly sacrifice his freedom and romance, becoming a quiet and handsome homebody.

Unless absolutely necessary, Li Qingyu would never risk going out.

Looking at the remaining eleven evolution points and then at the two soon-to-be-discontinued foods, Li Qingyu couldn't help but lick his lips.

Anyway, the first evolution only requires a few evolution points...

How about...give it a try?

Li Qingyu began to waver.

After all, we might be fighting Otis of the Abyss Civilization later, so there's really no need to save evolution points now.

Even if we don't expect a pre-battle boost, we should at least have a good meal before the battle...

Li Qingyu narrowed his eyes.

Currently... there are a total of eleven evolution points remaining...

First of all...

The evolution of a husky requires four things...

For Pineapple Castle to evolve, two things are needed...

Princess Kiki needs two things to evolve...

The evolution of these three little creatures is, at present, the most likely way to improve Li Qingyu's strength.

The Husky will likely increase attack power, while Princess Kiki and Pineapple Castle will likely increase defense power.

Therefore, just in case, these eight points should not be changed.

As for why they're not evolving now...

There was no way around it... Li Qingyu discovered the husky's previous evolutionary history...

The randomness inherent in Crimson Evolution still carries a certain degree of danger.

Especially in the evolution of intelligent life, the uncontrollable randomness leads to...

Maybe it's just bad luck...

The house is gone... My daughter is gone...

Even the dog is gone...

The three major tragedies of middle-aged men have been perfectly fulfilled all at once...

Therefore, Li Qingyu only considered these eight evolution points as a precaution; it doesn't mean he would definitely use them...

If Otis doesn't come, it can still be used freely.

For example... investing in a manned space program?

Anyway, the creatures on Sahar are about to revolt, so there will definitely be no shortage of magic cores, and there's no need to be too frugal.

Yes, Mr. Li has never forgotten his dream.

For now... it's just a matter of putting our dreams on hold for the time being...

If Otis not only comes, but I can't defeat him either, then I'll have no choice but to risk evolving; mutation is better than waiting to die.

Therefore, Li Qingyu currently only has three evolution points left, which he can freely allocate.

As for how to use it...

These two rare food items are actually quite good; they're D-grade items to begin with. So far, Li Qingyu has never seen an item's grade regress due to evolution.

Actually, there's one more item that can enhance your strength, and that is... the remaining half-pack of firecracker rice seeds.

Because it has already evolved once, the next evolution of Firecracker Rice requires two evolution points.

However, judging from the vigorous growth of the firecracker rice, Li Qingyu has reason to believe that its next evolution will be quite successful.

Even if the evolution goes wrong, Li Qingyu will only feel a little sorry for the evolution points.

After all, firecracker rice is just something that happens in the Civilization Competition, so losing Li Qingyu wouldn't be a big deal.

Once we return to Earth, who will still grow this thing? Who will dare to grow it?

Growing Sanchang rice...wouldn't that be better?

However... even if the evolution of firecracker rice is successful...

Li Qingyu was still somewhat worried.

What if...the growth cycle becomes longer? What if it requires more nutrients? What if it still can't fly?

What should we do if Kiki can't control the evolved Firecracker Rice and it blows up Pineapple Castle?

Therefore, Li Qingyu temporarily gave up on evolving the Firecracker Rice, and will consider it again when he has more evolution points.

What else... might improve combat power...?

Nabu? Magic Core Sauce?

Worn-out cloth shoes? Half-finished airplane model?

correct!

Suddenly, Li Qingyu was taken aback.

Because he remembered an item he had forgotten for a long time.
