Although Li Qingyu felt that Shen Hong's assessment was not very far off and might be somewhat exaggerated, he did not intend to change his target.

If he were to open a treasure chest and find orange soda or golden fried rice, he would be absolutely thrilled.

Li Qingyu remembered the effects of these two items very clearly.

Orange soda boosted the husky's growth level by three levels, jumping from its puppy stage to its fully grown form.

Golden Fried Rice upgraded its A-grade Beast King's Heart to an S-grade Beast Emperor's Heart.

These two items have always been a source of regret for Li Qingyu.

After all, Crimson was only S-rank back then, and these two items only evolved to S-rank before being used by Li Qingyu.

If he can get these two items again this time, he can evolve it to SS grade.

His talent, Beast King's Heart, has a great chance of being upgraded to SS-level.

The husky might even have another chance to improve its bloodline, smoothly evolving from a monarch-level bloodline to an emperor-level bloodline.

It was for this hope that Li Qingyu immediately chose to come over as soon as he learned that a treasure chest existed.

Otherwise, he would definitely go and see which little witch he knew first.

It couldn't possibly be Mu Xi, could it?

As he followed the army of groundhogs, Li Qingyu took out a magic core from his pocket, the result of his hard work.

【The Heart of the Ugly Fish That Has Been Polluted】

[Rank: B]

The Heart of the Ugly Fish is the source of power for the Ugly Fish race. It contains a moderate amount of water-based magic, and due to its contamination, it also contains trace amounts of ancient god power.

Li Qingyu discovered that the demonic cores on this Sea Emperor Star were all called something like "hearts," and they all contained a faint ancient god's power.

But these things are not important to Li Qingyu. All he needs are these things that can provide him with evolution points.

However, out of caution, Li Qingyu still asked Shen Hong in his mind.

Grandpa, is this edible?

Will it contaminate me too?

[Crimson: It's edible. The process of converting it into evolutionary energy is absolutely safe and pollution-free, so don't worry.]

Okay, that's good.

With Crimson's guarantee, Li Qingyu no longer hesitated, looking at the coconut-sized magic core in his hand.

Li Qingyu gestured with his lips a couple of times, feeling somewhat at a loss for where to begin, and sighed helplessly.

Secret technique!

Crazy tongue... Ugh~

Li Qingyu, who stuck out his tongue, almost vomited from the taste of the magic core.

Damn it, because they were on a rapid march, Li Qingyu didn't really smell anything too strong on the magic core.

But upon tasting it, the strange flavor of the fresh magic core itself was mixed with a hint of the foul stench of the old, dried-up magic core sauce in the strange pants.

In addition, the tongue's evolution has resulted in doubled sensitivity.

The rich, layered texture is simply unbeatable.

Li Qingyu quickly picked up the bucket hanging around his neck and rinsed his mouth with water several times before finally managing to shake off the nausea.

This time, Li Qingyu was smarter. He first rinsed the magic core with water from the bucket, and then licked it with his tongue.

Finally, amidst the rapid vibrations of an ordinary tongue.

Li Qingyu then transformed a magic core into an evolution point in his mind.

Two evolution points—that's the number of evolution points a Grade B magic core can provide.

After swallowing one magic core, Li Qingyu didn't stop and took out another one from his pocket.

He wants to see.

How many evolution points will he gain after this wave of sea monsters passes?

........

"Mimi, I'll just have one, really not?"

On a vast blue sea, there is a huge island made up of all sorts of adorable desserts.

A cute little girl, who looks only seven or eight years old, wearing an adorable pink knee-length nightgown and with her hair tied in a side ponytail.

On the island's Crystal Candy Beach, she dragged a baguette almost as tall as herself as she slowly walked towards the giant cake castle in the center of the island.

Beside the little girl was a huge, fat orange cat.

The big orange cat, with its short limbs and its fat belly dragging along the ground, swayed back and forth at the little girl's feet.

Yueyue felt very wronged.

Mingming just bought a cute little dress for her beloved Ultraman doll today and wants to try it on to see if it fits.

She had only dressed halfway when she suddenly found herself in a white room filled with elderly men and women.

Fortunately, Mimi was with her at the time, otherwise Yueyue felt she would have burst into tears.

Then, after being stuffed with a large loaf of bread.

Suddenly, Yueyue found herself on a beach filled with colorful candies.

Moreover, if you look into the distance, you can see the Strawberry Cake Castle located there.

Yueyue was overjoyed. She felt that her dream had come true, and she had come to the place she could only dream of.

The Candy Land of Fairy Tales.

Just as Yueyue was about to pick up a candy from the ground to taste it, Mimi stopped her.

And, her breasts...

It can actually talk!

"Can't."

Hearing the refusal from Mimi, Yueyue sighed helplessly and continued walking dejectedly into the island.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of good food in the center of the island. Keep it up!" The big orange cat beside Yueyue encouraged her.

That slightly hoarse voice made him sound like a handsome middle-aged man with a story to tell, but unfortunately, that voice came from a fat cat.

"Really, not even one?" The little girl looked at the orange cat beside her with pitiful eyes.

"No." The orange cat refused again, then added, "If you really want some, just take a bite of the bread in your hand."

Yueyue looked at the plain-looking baguette in her hand and pouted.

If Mimi hadn't stopped her, she would have been lost long ago.

This thing doesn't look like food at all; it's more like a stick. Who would want to eat this?

Yueyue wants to eat candy~

........

Just as the little girl wanted to eat candy.

Not far from this dessert island, a huge black-backed turtle is swimming rapidly towards the island.

This tortoise is none other than Padmasambhava, the only surviving seeded player from the demon race in the previous match.

Paddes was also helpless at this point.

In the last match, their three-man team—one scouting, one attacking, and one defending—ultimately only had him survive, the one responsible for defense.

I thought the Abyss Council would adopt a more conservative approach in this match.

Unexpectedly, the Abyss Council's plan for this match was even more intense than the previous one, and they even stopped conducting reconnaissance.

They chose to launch a full-scale attack on the Terran race as soon as the game started, a brutally aggressive approach.
