The system was thoroughly panicked.
If he went there again, would the whole thing not crash once more?
[Detected that host has spent 30 million resentment points.]
[Reward: Special item – one upgrade card.]
[Begging you not to go.]
Jiangnan’s eyes lit up brightly. Had the upgrade card finally arrived?
This was blatant bribery.
No, his resentment points spending had long exceeded 30 million.
The system had been defaulting on the debt all along.
Now it arrived just because he mentioned going? Not rigorous at all.
Jiangnan suspected the system had never kept track of how many resentment points he had actually spent.
If he did not take advantage and fleece it a bit, who knew how long it would drag on before giving it.
However, at this moment, Jiangnan had no time to bother with the upgrade card.
His gaze was completely drawn to the crimson griffin egg in the backpack.
He held it in his arms like a treasure.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the griffin egg in Jiangnan’s arms, their faces full of envy.
“Dahei, Xiaohei. How should I hatch this thing? Do I need to drip blood to recognise it as master before it hatches or something?”
Everyone was speechless.
Drip blood to recognise master, what nonsense? You must have watched too many cartoons.
Dahei laughed. “No need. However the griffin mother hatches the egg, you do the same.”
“Persist in injecting spiritual energy into the egg every day, letting the little one get familiar with your aura in advance. In short, make it think you are its closest person.”
“The specific method is all recorded in the notebook. Tianfu, just look at it yourself later.”
Saying that, he took out a handbook, recording the entire hatching process of the griffin mother, along with various data.
Jiangnan treated it like a priceless treasure, extremely excited.
“Really, thank you so much. Does the tribe still need garlic? I have some here…”
Xiaohei laughed. “It is we who should thank Tianfu. The tribe has already gained many benefits from this cooperation.”
“Next time Tianfu adult goes over, the Sahara Desert will absolutely become a completely different scene.”
Xiao Chuohuo laughed heartily. “Good, good, good. Nothing could be better.”
“Immediately start the research experiment on spirit pets, using the toy house as the experimental site. The academy has already requisitioned Thousand Island Lake Spirit Ruins as the spirit pet supply base. Designated as a level one protected spirit ruin.”
“Jiangnan. You carry a heavy responsibility.”
Jiangnan looked baffled. “What does it have to do with me?”
Xiao Chuohuo: “As the first experimental subject on our side, your only task now is to hatch the egg.”
“You must completely record your entire hatching process, providing reliable data support for spirit pet studies.”
“You have to write it seriously. This will be material written into textbooks in the future.”
Jiangnan: ???
What the heck?
They want to write all the details of my egg hatching into textbooks?
Why do I inexplicably feel a bit ashamed?
But thinking it was for the progress of the entire era, he could only reluctantly agree.
“Then… alright then.”
Dahei and Xiaohei followed Guan Hu and the others to settle in. The academy had specially allocated a building for them as experimental grounds.
Jiangnan, hugging the pet egg, teleported back to the villa.
Looking at the crimson egg on the bed, big as a washbasin, Jiangnan could hardly wait.
He quickly flipped open the notebook.
It turned out that for a griffin mother to hatch a little griffin from the egg took one month.
During this period, the griffin mother would stop eating, sitting on the egg and using her own body temperature to incubate it.
The egg never left her body for 24 hours, until the little griffin was born.
The Kabu tribe also imitated the griffin mother’s method, using body temperature to hatch. This process took three months.
After spending several hours reading the entire notebook, Jiangnan’s big eyes spun around.
(ಡ̫ಡ)
“Heavens. This notebook is written in such detail. The Kabu tribe is too good to me.”
“No, no. This gratitude in my heart simply cannot be expressed.”
He immediately took out his phone. “Hmm~ The latest flight to Africa is at 7:28? I can still make it if I teleport…”
[!!!]
[Detected that host is tall, mighty, handsome, and imposing.]
[Now opening limited-time exchange item for host.]
Jiangnan: (ಡꇴಡ)
I really like this reason you made up.
Hehehehe.
If I do not take the chance to fleece some wool, it would wrong my conscience.
In the system shop, a limited purchase item appeared.
[Super Mutation Potion.]
Price: 10 million resentment points.
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. So expensive?
He only had 3.07 million resentment points left in his pocket, saved up over this period.
Reaching 10 million would take forever.
“You are not sincere about selling it to me. I still have to go thank them in person. After all, the most important thing as a person is to live up to one’s conscience.”
As he spoke, he had already booked the ticket.
[(๐ᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)]
[Limited-time special price. 3 million.]
Sure enough, the price dropped from 10 million to 3 million.
It was based on his balance.
So thoughtful.
“It’s so late already. Visiting abruptly to thank them is not good. Better go another day.”
[(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)]
Saying that, Jiangnan cancelled the ticket. Without thinking, he directly spent 3 million resentment points to exchange for the potion.
He quickly checked its effects.
[Super Mutation Potion.]
Effect: Causes mutation in spirit beast embryo on top of the original basis. Mutation direction uncontrollable.
Jiangnan frowned. As expected, it was for the pet egg.
He did not know what it would become after using it. So expensive, it should be good.
While thinking, he had already taken out the super mutation potion, sealed in a bottle like eye drops.
Just one drop.
Dropped by Jiangnan onto the pet egg.
The potion was instantly absorbed into the egg. Then the pet egg began shaking violently.
It even rolled around on the bed, bouncing up and down.
Jiangnan stared wide-eyed, full of worry.
“This won’t mutate it to death, right? That would be a waste.”
“I wonder if a failed mutation egg can still be eaten. It shouldn’t be poisonous, right?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the egg rolling on the bed suddenly stiffened.
Circles of blue stripes appeared on the crimson eggshell. Clearly, the mutation succeeded.
Jiangnan grinned. Without a word, he stripped down to just one piece and jumped onto the bed.
Then his old face flushed. This… how the heck am I supposed to incubate it? So embarrassing.
But imagining himself riding a great griffin flying in the sky, Jiangnan gritted his teeth and stamped his foot.
Incubate.
His whole body straddled the egg in a “_|￣|○” pose.
He pulled the quilt over, wrapping himself into a bundle like a brooding hen, only exposing his head.
Using his own body temperature to incubate the egg, injecting his spiritual energy into it.
As soon as he injected, he felt the spiritual energy in his body being sucked away madly by the egg.
In less than three minutes, it was drained dry.
Scared, Jiangnan quickly ate durian flesh to replenish his spiritual energy.
Back and forth for half an hour, only then did the pet egg stop drawing spiritual energy, as if fed full.
Jiangnan looked stunned.
Was it not said that injecting a little spiritual energy daily was enough? This does not match what is written in the notebook.
Could it be the effect of the mutation?
Lying in the quilt incubating the egg, Jiangnan began studying the notebook again.
Until evening, the sound of the door opening came from the living room. Then the bedroom door was opened.
Zhong Yingxue looked puzzled. “Xiaonan? Didn’t you say this afternoon you were going to the training room? Why didn’t you go?”
Xia Yao also poked her head in. “Hmm~ Why are you hiding in the quilt? Are you sick?”
Jiangnan looked guilty, forehead covered in cold sweat.
“I am sick. I have a disease where I will die if I get out of bed. You two hurry out. Don’t let me infect you.”
How could he possibly let you know that I am incubating an egg under the quilt.
Go away, go away, go away.
I want to save face.
Zhong Yingxue: (⇀‸↼٥)
Xia Yao snickered. “Oh ho~ What a coincidence. I have this disease too. For over ten years. Not afraid of infection at all.”
“Hey~ What delicious thing are you hiding?”
Xia Yao pounced onto the bed, lifted the quilt, and stuck her head inside.
Jiangnan: !!!
“You sneak attack.”
Xia Yao’s body stiffened the moment she burrowed into the quilt.
“◟(ૂ๑˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)༡ Pfft hahahaha. An egg? How is it an egg?”
“Xiaonan. You are secretly incubating an egg under the quilt, right? You are so cute.”
Zhong Yingxue was also stunned. She pulled open Jiangnan’s quilt in one go.
She saw Jiangnan straddling a blue-and-red striped egg, incubating seriously.
“Pfft~ Hmm!!!”
Zhong Yingxue really could not hold it in. She turned her head away sharply, shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Jiangnan’s face exploded red. “This is for spirit pet studies, contributing to this era. Incubating by official order.”
“It’s not that I want to incubate it myself.”
