Chapter 3 The Seal of Nightmares!
Lu Yu exited the chaotic space, and the dense peach forest like a pink cloud came into view again.
The breeze blew, and the peach blossoms rustled, fluttering and dancing, resonating with the music of spring.
"Eye of Truth!"
Lu Yu chanted in his heart, and in the center of his star-like pupils, the silver vines on the silver key spread and intertwined, turning into a nebula-shaped eye pattern, overlapping each other, like the double pupils in mythology.
The originally handsome face became more mysterious and weird.
After opening the Eye of Truth, his vision was greatly improved, and the world in his eyes also changed!
[Fifteen-year-old peach tree, transplanted, growing well...]
[Twenty-five-year-old peach tree, transplanted, with insects on the trunk, recommended to use insecticide...]
[Peach ladybug, feeds on nectar and rotten plants...]
[Strange peach frog, an evolution of the spotted frog, has been in a state of lethargy since pregnancy...]
[Peach Pig, two years old, pregnant, spine height 1.5 meters, body length 2.7 meters, weight... Feeding during pregnancy can increase favorability, feeding the cubs with drinks made from peach blossom nectar can prevent childhood illness...]
All objects appeared with data descriptions in his eyes, including year, growth status, and even more methods of breeding peach pigs, etc.
He took the initiative to apply to raise pigs, of course, not to escape reality, or to contract a mobile food that could be taken away and eaten at any time.
The real purpose is to accumulate original capital for himself.
After experiencing the "Twisted Sun" incident, Lu Yu was not sure whether the city he was in was real, so he remained a little wary of everyone.
So after his injury healed, the talent he reported to school was not the [Eye of Truth], but [Affinity with Beasts].
It was like keeping a trump card for himself, and he was also afraid that someone would target him.
But hiding one's weakness does not mean falling into depravity.
Especially when his parents were on a mission, they bought a lot of props, which resulted in not much money left in the family, only 130,000 alliance coins.
It was not a small amount, but it was not enough to support him to go too far on the road of beast tamer.
If you want to become stronger, you need to find a way to make money.
Therefore, after screening many projects, Lu Yu set his sights on peach pigs.
A lower-level ecological species with blue skin and pink mane on its back, it is spiritually stable and not easy to deform.
Peach Pigs are not strong and their feed is not expensive, but because they taste great and can replenish a lot of Qi and blood and strengthen bones and muscles after eating, they have always been the favorite food of powerful carnivorous pets.
In addition, some special beast taming evolution conditions require the consumption of a large number of peach pigs.
Peach Pigs are found near Dayuan City and are a special species of the ecological secret realm of Taohua Township. They are at the bottom of the ecological position.
It is not difficult for ordinary beast tamers to catch a few, but if they are plundered in large quantities, it is easy to attract some extraordinary life forms that protect food to chase them, so the price on the market is quite high, no less than two-star materials.
With a market, there are naturally smart people who choose to raise peach pigs in captivity. They start transplanting peach tree seedlings in Taohua Township and spend a lot of time to capture dozens of pairs of peach pigs in batches for large-scale breeding.
However, many people did not expect that although peach pigs are pigs, they are two and a half stars difficult to breed.
Peach pigs feed on peach tree roots and peach blossom nectar. They are relatively intelligent and resist being raised in captivity. Once they find themselves imprisoned, they will become depressed, which will affect their reproduction and growth, and they may even choose to commit suicide, resulting in a total loss.
But it is not worth hiring a high-level breeding master for this. Not only will there be no profit, but there is also the possibility of losing money.
But at this time, a large amount of money had been invested in building the peach blossom forest and purchasing breeding pigs and piglets. Giving up halfway was not an option. It had become a hot potato and was very troublesome.
Lu Yu took the opportunity to pretend to have the talent of [Beast Affinity] and took the initiative to apply. Naturally, he won the project easily.
However, because he did not contract the first beast, his [Eye of Truth] needed to consume spiritual power to open, so he could only open it intermittently, but he also obtained a lot of intelligence by watching pig films.
Although peach pigs are intelligent, they will accept feeding during the first month of pregnancy. If they are properly cared for during this period, they are more likely to feel close to each other, and the newborn peach pigs will be more friendly, thus growing meat and breeding.
With this as the direction, Lu Yu collected the breeding data of peach pigs, and with the ability of the [Eye of Truth], he compiled the "Postpartum Care Manual for Peach Pigs".
An ecological system was built in which duckweed cleans excrement and peach spotted frogs clean pests.
In particular, the gathering of a large number of peach spotted frogs can easily give birth to the musical servant-level pet [Peach Drum Frog], or even the rare undead system leader pet [Ghost Face Curse Frog].
The probability of the latter appearing is too small, but the former can be sold as an ancillary product, which is equivalent to opening an additional channel for making money.
Under the new ecological system, the number of peach piglets has increased significantly.
On Earth, it would have to get a banner of "Little Pig Raising Expert"!
After waiting for another two months, when the number of peach piglets doubles, Lu Yu can use the results to verify the data and make sure that he can train a group of people to raise peach piglets on a large scale through the manual.
Peach piglets that are in short supply can be turned into large-scale, assembly-line products.
He can't keep the profits by himself, and he doesn't need to rush with the [Eye of Truth], as it's easy to make money.
His goal is to negotiate with the school with this result in exchange for a pet cub with the potential to lead (gold), or at least a top elite as his first beast.
"But... it's too late!" Lu Yu sighed.
Recently, Taiyang's nightmares have become more and more frequent, and even began to affect his mental state, which is obviously abnormal.
"Since the Eye of Truth is effective for everything, maybe it can see the problem I have now!"
Thinking of this, he used the selfie mode of his phone's camera, using the front camera as a mirror, and took a look at himself. Sure enough, the upgraded Eye of Truth saw a new negative buff entry.
[Mark of Nightmare: As a mortal, you accidentally glimpsed the essence of the sun and many ancient "beasts", and unexpectedly your soul did not collapse, because you were as weak as an ant and were not discovered by them.
But the images you saw were forbidden knowledge that mortals could not touch or know. These memories turned into seeds, took root deep in your soul, and exuded the sweet breath of ancient knowledge. You were powerless to protect yourself, and you had become a special cursed flower.
Mortals, do not glimpse taboos.
The scent of the flowers attracted the attention of a nightmare beast, which paid a huge price and planted a nightmare seed for you from a distance as a mark. From then on, nightmares will become more frequent until your soul collapses, and that's when it enjoys its feast. 】
【Your dream is already a deep sea, slowly drowning you. 】
After reading it, Lu Yu's face was extremely shocked.
Those shadows emerging in the distorted sunlight turned out to be the ancient existence of "beasts"!
Could these ancient beings also be beastmasters?
What level of life is the "beast"? Just a glance at it has polluted my memory and turned it into a curse!
Why are these guys covered in crimson chains, and what are they sharing?
Is the scene he saw taken at this time?
All kinds of doubts swirled in Lu Yu's mind, giving him a splitting headache, but no one could answer them for him.
Moreover, compared to these unknowable mysterious existences, they were so mysterious and high above that they didn't pay attention to a little ant like him.
However, the spiritual pollution they spread became a curse that robbed his mortal life.
An invisible nightmare beast has already set its sights on him.
As the nightmare continues to deepen, it will eventually appear and devour his soul!
His life is already on the countdown!
After multiple inspections, no traces of nightmares were found, indicating that it was probably the curse of exploring taboos that was affecting him. Others could not help him and would only think that he was crazy!
As for the powerful beastmaster, he did not even have the qualifications to recognize him, so how could he ask him to take action?
Especially as an ant, he attracted the nightmare beast. If a powerful beastmaster took action, if he saw this memory, would it trigger a more terrifying curse and attract the attention of the "beast"?
Even if not, after a thorough inspection, the [Key of Truth] might be exposed. Facing a step to godhood, how many people could remain calm?
He did not dare to bet on the kindness of others, and only wanted to take his fate into his own hands.
Therefore, Lu Yu must first become a beastmaster, unlock more abilities of the Key of Truth, and see if he can find a way out.
Lu Yu unlocked his phone and opened the "Nail" app.
He ignored a bunch of junk messages asking for "received" and "check-in" as if ordering servants, and found a pinned contact.
The note is [Student Union President]!
[Twilight Crow: President, I want to ask you for a favor! ]
Twilight Crow is his ID, like a crow in the twilight, quietly waiting for the night to fall.
I thought I would have to wait for a while, but the message came back in seconds.
[Student Union President: OK! ]
[Twilight Crow: I hope to use the gold medal in the name of the school to redeem a pet officially. ]
