Li Qingyu looked up and glanced around.

Now that the Groundhog Legion had cleared out the monsters in the city, their weapons and equipment, composed of extreme evil flames, appeared even more complete.

Leaving aside armor and such, at least everyone had a weapon, which made them look like a regular army.

To be honest, in Li Qingyu's opinion, as long as he didn't encounter the kind of sly, faceless monster mentioned above, he would be fine.

In a direct confrontation, his army really has nothing to fear.

Even if Deathwing, who was once a dominant force, were to fly right in front of him now, Li Qingyu didn't think Deathwing could withstand the siege of the Groundhog Legion.

There's nothing that can be done; Li Qingyu is just that confident now.

"Haa~ Lieutenant, today's mission is complete, shall we go to sleep?"

After disbanding the Black Flame Warhorse, Mulan yawned and went to Li Qingyu's side, who had just finished his work.

"Haha~ that's good, it really is time to sleep."

Infected by Mulan's yawn, Li Qingyu also yawned.

There's no way around it, he really did exceed his workload today, which is not in line with his usual laid-back style.

So, Li Qingyu found a place with a relatively open view and released Pineapple Castle.

Upon returning to Pineapple Castle, Li Qingyu told Hua Mulan to go upstairs and go to sleep first.

He originally intended to go straight to sleep, but the thought of the pile of magic cores he had just picked up in his pocket made it hard for Li Qingyu to fall asleep.

If a magic core isn't converted into evolution points, it's useless and has no purpose whatsoever.

Therefore, Li Qingyu can only feel at ease if he converts them into evolution points as soon as possible.

I was panicking because I didn't have any money in my hand.

Then, Li Qingyu went to the kitchen to clean the magic core.

Who told the strange pants to only absorb odors? Even though the magic core no longer smelled of those stenches, there was still some slime on it.

It had no taste, and licking the sticky liquid in his mouth made Li Qingyu feel quite disgusted.

finally...

After a series of actions that excited the female viewers in the live stream, Li Qingyu converted all of the magic cores into evolution points.

It's not a lot, not as many as the wave of evolution points harvested when the mermaid Haiying summoned the sea monster.

But it was still much more than when Li Qingyu was collecting gerbils.

It must be said that the quality of the magic core on Neptune Star is truly excellent.

Sixty-six points—that's the total number of evolution points Li Qingyu gained after annihilating all the monsters on the island.

One island has sixty-six islands, ten islands have six hundred and sixty islands, and one hundred islands have six thousand and sixty islands.

Sure enough, if we destroy a hundred islands, we'll have more than half of the evolution points needed to evolve Crimson to SSS rank.

[Crimson: Something about what you just said doesn't feel quite right.]

No, sir, you're overthinking it. You're getting old, you should go to bed early.

After dealing with Crimson, Li Qingyu looked at the evolution points in his mind and suddenly found it even harder to fall asleep.

Sigh... why can't I save money?

With a sigh, Li Qingyu looked at the Pineapple Castle he was in. After hesitating for a while, he decided to start evolving the less important ones first.

What's this called again... a padding knife?

It means first testing the waters with less important items to see how lucky you are today before deciding whether to take any big steps.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyu took out the dumplings that the system had given him, which he had always kept in Wei Guo's coat pocket.

Want to know what lies beyond "advanced"?

hehe...

Looking at the system information at the very end of the dumpling recipe, Li Qingyu smiled.

because...

He knew that he was a master-level expert, and it wasn't like he hadn't evolved before.

Immediately afterwards, a deep red light flashed in Li Qingyu's eyes.

As the four evolution points disappeared, the old-fashioned aluminum lunchbox in his hand was enveloped in deep red flames.

Evolution has begun.

However, this was not what Li Qingyu wanted.

Five more evolution points disappeared, and the deep red flames on the old-fashioned aluminum lunchbox burned even brighter. This time, Li Qingyu used the Deep Red Enhancement.

Another eight evolution points disappeared. The deep red flames on the old-fashioned aluminum lunchbox were almost burning up to the ceiling on the first floor of Pineapple Castle. Li Qingyu switched back to Deep Red Evolution.

Using them alternately saves even more money.

That's right, this kind of one-shot evolution is exactly the kind of evolution Li Qingyu envisions.

What's the point of dawdling little by little? It's definitely more comfortable to go all the way right away.

After a short while, watching the deep red flames on the lunchbox in his hand slowly dissipate, Li Qingyu raised his eyebrows.

If nothing unexpected happens, what appears in front of him right now should be a dumpling at the Grandmaster level or above, right?

A-level Master, S-level Grandmaster.

Tsk tsk...

What is SS-class?

Looking at the old-fashioned aluminum lunchbox in his hand, Li Qingyu couldn't wait to check its properties.
