What does it mean when a pet evolves incorrectly?

When everyone returned to the foot of the mountain, the night was still dark, but the atmosphere was completely different from when they entered the mountain.

The roadside was lined with all kinds of vehicles, and the flashing police lights, the roof lights of ambulances, and the headlights of several large transport trucks illuminated the entrance.

Under the guidance of the staff, Lin Chen and others were arranged to board one of the buses with the Yuanshan Club.

Before long, the car slowly drove away from the area that was still shrouded in tension and chaos, heading towards the urban area of ​​Qinglan City.

The carriage was unusually quiet.

The bright overhead lights illuminated faces etched with exhaustion and lingering fear.

The vast majority of people, including the well-trained officers at the detention center, leaned back in their chairs and closed their eyes, as if trying to temporarily shut out all the madness, bloodshed, and fear they had experienced that night.

Su Qingyuan sat alone by the window.

Unlike the others who closed their eyes to rest, she turned her head to the side and looked out the car window.

Outside the window, silhouettes of mountains and forests rush past.

Further away, the outline of the Broken Mountain Range stands silently in the night.

The glow of the streetlights traced flowing warm yellow lines on the car window, but it couldn't dispel the solemnity in her eyes.

She suddenly pulled a lollipop out of her pocket and deftly tore off the plastic wrapper.

As the candy ball entered his mouth, one cheek puffed out slightly, a satisfied curve appeared at the corner of his lips, and his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"The Special Defense Bureau reacted quickly, and its top combat forces have already been deployed."

"With their capabilities, even if they are initially caught off guard due to unclear information, it is only a matter of time before they suppress the D-level abyssal rift."

but……

"This is just the beginning." Su Qingyuan's gaze grew even more profound.

A Class D Abyssal Rift is only the lowest level of threat assessment.

In the coming years, higher-level C-grade, B-grade, and even A-grade abyssal rifts will erupt one after another like nightmares in the Eastern Empire and around the world.

This is accompanied by more, stronger, and more bizarre and troublesome dark creatures, as well as a large area affected by negative emotions.

The real crisis is far from over.

She must improve her skills as soon as possible, join the Rift Investigation Department, and gain a voice.

The bus drove for an unknown amount of time in the silent night, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from desolate mountains and fields to sparse lights, and then to dense buildings.

Finally, the vehicle stopped in front of a building.

Although it was late at night, the building was brightly lit and filled with people.

People in different uniforms came and went, their expressions hurried and serious.

"Everyone get off the bus and enter the hall in order to register and verify your information. Do not make noise and follow the instructions of the staff." The staff member accompanying the bus had a hoarse voice.

The exhausted passengers disembarked one by one and entered the brightly lit hall.

The process is rigorous and meticulous.

First, you register your basic personal information, and then you hand over all devices that may have recorded the scene—the body camera of the police station staff, your personal mobile phone, camera, etc.

Finally, there is an inquiry session where a specialist asks them in detail about the specific time, place, and process of the abnormal event they encountered, as well as the shape, number, and abilities of the abnormal creatures they saw.

After completing all registrations, inquiries, and signing confidentiality agreements, it was nearly 2 a.m.

When Lin Chen dragged his tired body home, the house was quiet, with only a small night light in the entryway emitting a dim, warm glow.

"Eek~!"

A very soft, delicate whimper sounded in his ear, and then, like lightning, the Songsong dog darted out from the cushion in the corner of the living room and rushed to Lin Chen's feet.

The dog raised its little head, its obsidian-like eyes shining brightly in the dim light. It looked Lin Chen up and down, as if to make sure he was unharmed.

Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart and squatted down: "What's wrong? Haven't seen me for a while, missed me?"

The tip of the dog's ear twitched almost imperceptibly, its eyes darted away, and it instinctively took a half-step back.

Lin Chen opened his arms wide, a smile on his face.

The dog looked at his open arms, then at his face. Its ears twitched, as if it hesitated. Its little paws unconsciously scratched at the ground, but it finally stood still, its eyes still glued to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen chuckled, reaching out to pick up its warm, soft little body and hold it close to his chest: "Alright, I know you must have missed me."

The dog's body suddenly stiffened. It lowered its head, making unintelligible whimpering sounds, and its tail gently rubbed against Lin Chen's arm.

Holding Songsong, Lin Chen tiptoed into the living room.

The living room sofa lamp was still dimly lit, and Mom and Dad were leaning back on the sofa, covered with thin blankets, talking quietly.

The two of them visibly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Chen return home safely.

Lin Jianjun looked at his son, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, his face showing undisguised worry and inquiry.

As someone within the system, although he was on duty in the city tonight, he vaguely knew through internal communications and some rumors that something big had happened in the Duanshan Mountains, with multiple units urgently drawing manpower, making quite a commotion.

However, due to confidentiality regulations, no one dared to elaborate on what exactly happened.

He knew that some young employees actually longed to participate in major events, as this would give them a chance to earn credit and be promoted.

However, major events often mean danger.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianjun shook his head, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

What are you thinking about?

My own child just received the award, becoming the youngest recipient. The most important thing now is for him to be safe and sound.

As for his achievements, the fact that he can receive an award at this age means his future is so bright that he can't sleep at night.

After exchanging a few words with his parents, Lin Chen, exhausted from a long day, fell into a deep, dreamless sleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.

He slept exceptionally well that night.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the slightly ajar curtains, falling obliquely onto Lin Chen's eyelids.

My mind was still a little groggy from lack of sleep, but my spirits had been mostly restored thanks to the ample rest.

He opened his eyes and the first thing he did was to bring up the system panel:

[Instance time is up, settlement begins.]

The player killed a total of five Tier 1 Dark Species and six Tier 2 Dark Species, and was rewarded with a total of 85 experience points, 5 Double Experience Cards, 6 Triple Experience Cards, and 1 Holy Ring.

!!!

Lin Chen, who was still somewhat drowsy, instantly woke up. He opened his eyes and sat up.

The experience points here refer to the universal experience points that can be allocated at will, a full 85 experience points. Normally, he would need to complete several tasks and it would take him at least a week to get them.

However, due to the sudden appearance of a small instance, he gained such a large amount of experience points in just one night.

He will use all of this experience points on the Flameclaw Beast's evolution bar, since evolution has the highest priority in raising pets.

This pushed the evolution bar of Flameclaw Beast forward again, and its stats changed:

[Pet: Agumon (Local name: Flameclawmon)]

[Level: Tier 2, Stage 3 (36/48)]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Race Level: Intermediate Transcendent]

[Moves: Flame Breath (Proficient), Sharp Claws (Proficient), Small Explosion (Beginner), Blazing Charge (Beginner)]

【Intimacy Level: 86】

[Evolution Method: Evolution Experience Points (385/500), Tyrannosaurus Heart x1]

"Almost there, almost there. It won't be long before the Flameclaw Beast's evolution bar is full." Lin Chen said excitedly.

Aside from the fact that its Blazing Rush hasn't yet reached the proficient level, Flameclaw's strength has increased significantly compared to a day ago, and it's only one hundred experience points away from evolving.

In addition, the system rewarded experience cards as usual, but unlike before, there were three times more experience cards.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, eager to try: "System, try the triple experience card on me!"

As is well known, there is a mutual support relationship between beast tamers and their pets.

As the Beastmaster's level increases, the growth rate of the pet will accelerate when it stays in the Beastmaster's space; as the pet's level increases, the Beastmaster's mental power will also be further enhanced.

After the Flame Claw Beast broke through from the first tier to the second tier, third stage, Lin Chen clearly felt that his mental power had grown significantly.

Perhaps with the help of this triple experience card, I can get closer to becoming a novice beast tamer.
