As Otis flew cautiously toward the center of the oasis...
On the virtual map of Saha, the blue dot that originally represented the human race player was in front of Otis.
Suddenly, it changed from a single blue dot to two overlapping blue dots.
Unfortunately... Otis, who was flying cautiously, did not reopen the virtual map to observe the situation ahead.
Or rather... no player has noticed this strange scene yet.
........................
Pineapple Castle rooftop.
The large and beautiful pink wreath gradually dissipated into the air.
The countless petals, like dreamy butterflies, that fell from the pink wreath quickly shattered and turned into pink specks of light that drifted away in the wind.
At this moment, at the center of the gradually fading pink wreath.
Colonel Chu, dressed in a clean and tidy dark green military uniform, with an upright posture, holding a blade of grass in his hand and an expressionless face, appeared before Li Qingyu.
Amidst the falling pink petals, Li Qingyu and Chu Xuan gazed at each other in silence.
While Li Qingyu was still in a daze, Chu Xuan looked away.
I turned my head and looked around the rooftop where I was.
Then, Chu Xuan's gaze pierced through the gaps in the green leaves of Pineapple Castle and looked out onto the vast, boundless rice paddy beyond the rooftop.
Before Li Qingyu could even greet the leader, Colonel Chu spoke first.
"Are those rice plants outside the rewards for being ranked number one on the leaderboard? Are they... products of the ancient human race?"
"Uh...it's not entirely reward supplies, but it's pretty much the same. It is indeed a product of the ancient human race." Li Qingyu blinked and answered somewhat uncertainly.
There's no way around it... Although, according to the system introduction, both Firecracker Rice and Sanchang Rice are indeed varieties researched by Academician Pingping of the ancient human race.
However, the Firecracker Rice is not a reward from the leaderboard; it is obtained by evolving from Sanchang Rice seeds.
"Not entirely?"
Colonel Chu looked at Li Qingyu again, while glancing at the green dog beside Li Qingyu and Qiqi on the dog's head.
Green Dog and Qiqi also looked at the suddenly appearing Colonel Chu with curiosity.
“It’s like this…” Li Qingyu explained to Colonel Chu after a moment’s thought.
"Because of the talent I awakened in the preparation space, the general effect is... that I can extract energy from the magic cores of Saha's creatures to allow any item to undergo a random evolution."
Li Qingyu pointed to the golden rice field and continued, "The rice outside was evolved by my talent; it's no longer the rice that was originally a reward."
"Random...evolution?" Chu Xuan adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and looked at the bright green husky, asking, "It shouldn't just be able to evolve items, right?"
Li Qingyu also looked at the husky, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, saying with a hint of helplessness, "That's right, it can also evolve pets, or rather, creatures."
However, the husky's green color is not due to evolution... Li Qingyu added in his mind.
"The item you summoned... was it also evolved from you?"
"Uh...yes...."
"The nature spirits that created the oasis...were they also evolved?"
"Uh...yes...."
"So... are there any side effects to using evolution?"
"Uh... a little..."
"Oh? What side effects?"
"Evolving a brain into a creature might make it stupid."
While chatting with Li Qingyu, Chu Xuan casually opened the virtual map of Saha Star.
At this moment, on the virtual map, the crimson dot representing Otis was not far from where they were.
Battle... is about to break out!!
............................
Blue Star Official Live Broadcast Room.
Jinghai City Live Broadcast Room.
Watching Li Qingyu pray, a strange phenomenon of pink wreaths appeared around him.
Miss Orange, who had been feeling somewhat helpless, suddenly widened her eyes.
this....
This effect!?
Oh my gosh... How beautiful, how romantic...
Unexpectedly, contestant Li Qingyu has this skill.
This effect is so powerful, it practically doubles the success rate of a marriage proposal or finding a mistress!
Miss Orange, her heart fluttering at the sight of the pink floral wreath, casually remarked:
"It seems that Li Qingyu is not just praying, but rather... performing some unknown ritual?"
"Although the effect of the ceremony is not yet apparent, we have reason to believe that Li Qingyu is definitely making preparations for the competition."
Just as Miss Orange was about to say a few more polite words to lighten the mood of the live stream...
Inside the pink wreath in the live stream footage.
The figure of Chu Xuan, the seeded player from China, slowly appeared.
"Huh?"
"This, this, this...."
"Colonel Chu... Colonel Chu!!"
Miss Orange stared in disbelief at the familiar figure.
At the same time, the live stream chat exploded with comments as Colonel Chu appeared.
"Holy crap!!! Colonel Chu? The King of Licks actually summoned Colonel Chu?"
"It really is! Isn't that Colonel Chu from next door?!"
"Can someone go to the Yanjing City live stream room and take a look? Is this really Colonel Chu? Are you sure it's not an inflatable life-size figure?"
"Sister, I just came from the live stream in Yanjing City. Damn... he really is a suck-up king! I knew this guy looked familiar!"
