Starting with Crimson

Hesitantly, Li Qingyu looked up at the distant black shadow roaring angrily amidst the flames and smoke.

I wonder... how the fight between Deathwing and Colonel Chu is going.

Li Qingyu glanced at the remaining forty-six evolution points and sighed inwardly.

Never mind... I won't feed it.

What's the point of leveling up a husky like that?

In the end, it's just a matter of getting something stuck in your teeth.

That would be better... Li Qingyu's thoughts stirred, and in an instant, four more evolution points disappeared.

at the same time.

Boom!!

The premium orange soda is once again enveloped in evolving flames.

Now that the system information has clearly given him a hint, wouldn't you like to know what's above the highest grade?

Li Qingyu had absolutely no reason to stop there.

As for... why not upgrade the clothes and pants?

Although these two items have obvious flaws, they are indeed useful, so there is no need to risk evolving them.

Leaving aside the pants, they are still space equipment, even if they can only hold smelly items, they complement the storage bucket perfectly.

Because... items stored in the storage bins all need to be soaked in water, and it's especially inconvenient to take things out.

If only I had had different pants earlier, my eternal stick wouldn't have been flung away.

As for clothes...

Li Qingyu is still interested in that Grade A Toad Kung Fu for now; he'll decide after he's studied it.

Forget about it now, I don't have time.

soon....

As the flames of evolution dissipated, the orange soda reappeared.

Premium Orange Soda

[Grade: A]

Orange-flavored soda, when consumed, can immediately restore stamina and heal injuries, and slightly increase the body's basic attributes.

Drinking the entire bottle of premium orange soda will raise the growth level of pets below the Ultimate level by two levels.

Want to know what lies beyond the Super Grade?

Expected.

Since that's the case, Li Qingyu narrowed his eyes.

Crimson, let me see where your limits are!

Boom!!

The flames of evolution rise once more.

The evolution points also decreased by eight points instantly, leaving only thirty-four points.

Li Qingyu was really going all out, spending eight evolution points—an unprecedentedly generous move.

As expected...

I'm not the kind of person who honestly saves money.

The flames died down once more.

The appearance of the unremarkable orange soda was as if Li Qingyu's three attempts to set the fire were just a joke.

But Li Qingyu knew that things were different now.

【Premium Orange Soda】

[Rank: S]

[Orange-flavored soda, when consumed, instantly restores the user's condition, maintaining a flawless state. It also significantly increases the user's base attributes.]

Drinking the entire bottle of premium orange soda will raise the growth level of pets below Ultimate level by three levels.

Want to know what lies above the Saint-grade?

At that moment, Li Qingyu smiled with satisfaction.

Everything is under control.

Li Qingyu was almost reluctant to give the husky some water.

Clearly, this orange soda can still evolve.

Although it will require sixteen evolution points next time, it's worth it! It's a steady upgrade all the way through, and you don't have to worry about it becoming a weirdo at all—it's incredibly reliable!

Maybe if we do it again, the husky will become a true overlord after drinking it.

pity....

The limits of orange soda haven't been reached yet, but the limits of crimson have been reached.

S-rank Crimson cannot evolve into SS-rank items.

To evolve, you'll need to spend another hundred points to evolve into Crimson, by which time the flowers will have withered.

never mind....

It's a bargain for the dog.

Having made his decision, Li Qingyu didn't delay any longer. He grabbed the husky's mouth and threw the premium orange soda into it.

Um....

Since the attribute clearly states that the pet's growth level will only increase if it drinks the entire bottle of orange soda, Li Qingyu naturally complied.

With a forceful press, Li Qingyu shoved the entire bottle of orange soda into the husky's mouth.

He didn't even open the bottle cap because... Li Qingyu was afraid of accidentally leaking it. Since he said the whole bottle, it had to be the whole bottle!!

After pushing it, I looked at the bottom of the bottle, which had stretched the husky's neck so wide that I couldn't push it any further in.

Li Qingyu's eyes sharpened.

The next second... Li Qingyu grabbed the husky's muzzle with both hands, twisted his body, and shook the husky wildly.

Secret technique...the windmill!!

Whoosh...

*Smack!*

After only a few seconds, Li Qingyu's hand slipped, and the dead dog in his hand instantly landed face-first on the sand.

Faintly, Li Qingyu seemed to hear a dull sound of glass breaking inside the husky's belly.

Uh....

Sorry... my hand slipped.

Just as Li Qingyu bent down, preparing to pick up the husky and shake it for a while...

Suddenly, the husky looked up sharply, its once clear, innocent, and lively eyes now sparkling.

It was pitch black, dark and deep.
