Re: Evolution Online

Liam was speechless. No matter how he thought about it, this seemed like a scheme purposefully cooked up by the system shop set up to create conflict.

Seeing him hesitating, the fairy once again added. "Ummm… there is also another bonus for revealing your beast eggs." "If Grandmaster turns out to be a lucky winner and if your egg is revealed to be a Legendary Rank or higher beast type, then the system shop would personally provide all the materials for hatching the egg, along with the use of the special beast incubator to immediately hatch the beast egg.

Liam froze. Analysis was one thing but he did not think that the feature would also include immediately acquiring all the materials for hatching the egg and even getting the egg hatched right here and now.

No matter how he thought about it, this was a huge deal for him to pass up. Sure, he might attract some unwanted attention at the moment but that was anyways going to happen with what he had planned next.

Within the system shop, it was impossible for anyone to plant trackers on him or for his information to get leaked and if he directly teleported from the system shop, then he could simply disappear from these prying eyes around him.

With this everything would be taken care of… except for… Liam's gaze briefly flickered to Dante before it returned to the fairy at the counter.

"Let's do it." Liam said.

Fuck! Rey, and Madan immediately turned to look at Liam in shock. This was definitely not going to end well. With this their plan of staying low-profile was a complete bust.

Liam smiled at them bitterly. The situation was not in their favor but powering up right now was more important. If he was too cautious at all times, he might as well lock his door and stay inside a weakling all his life, in the end dying a miserable death.

Only Dante had a big ugly grin on his face. That's right motherfucker! Burn in hell! The guy's face almost split apart as he was grinning from ear to ear, enjoying the group's misery. They might not know the Horned tribe well enough but he knew everything! The Horned tribe was famous throughout the Xicta sector. Nothing good was going to come from messing with bigshots who trampled on worlds for fun.

"Serves you right, you little bitch!" Dante cursed the guy, only to immediately receive another electric shock. "Bloody fucker! What? I can't even curse this bitch?"

As he was dancing from the soul contract punishments, Liam took a deep breath and handed over the first egg to the fairy at the counter.

The crowd around the beast egg counter looked on with curiosity and hushed whispers. Rey quickly moved closer to Liam and filled him in. "Bro, bad news. That guy is from some hot shot family. Everyone is talking about it. He is apparently from an ancient beastclan that has dragon lineage. They are a powerful family, fully shrouded in mystery it seems."

"They typically keep to themselves but when someone messes with them, they would not even hesitate to lay waste to millions. They are one of the top ten families who control the ten Empires in our sector. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Liam's expression turned grave. He already knew that he was going to ruffle someone who had power and influence but he did not know that he would be dealing with someone this huge, one out of the top ten.

He only just now stepped out into the vast wide world and he was already crossing paths with someone like this? Wasn't his luck supposed to be good?

Liam remained silent for a moment before he shook his head. If it was just Legendary rank beasts, perhaps he would have not gone forward with this, but he was sure that one of the beast eggs was definitely more powerful than that. He simply couldn't let this chance slip.

Nurturing a powerful beast like Luna could mean an additional combat partner to watch his back or fight by his side or perhaps handle something unexpected. It could even mean someone to look after Earth and stand by his family and friends to protect them when he was not with them.

He could not depend on Tilia to clean his shit up every time. He needed someone to take his place when he was not there. He was not willing to repeat the same mistake again. If he lost what was important to him in the struggle to become stronger, then what he becoming stronger for? Why was he living this life of never-ending struggle?

It was impossible to walk the path of power without making a few enemies and using them as stepping stones.

Liam's gaze wandered around as he spotted the entourage from before. They had already finished the transaction and moved along to the next counter. From the looks of it, they had not opted for the public analysis and hatching. This made sense as they were neither poor like him nor from an abject world like him.

Also, it only took Liam one look to notice something obvious. Young master Kael was definitely ticked off with him. Though they had outwardly moved on, he could sense the two attendants throwing him hateful glares every now and then. They were definitely still hung up on this issue, but there was nothing he could do now. Everything was already in motion.

Liam looked at the fairy and nodded again. "Go ahead."

The fairy, with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, took the first egg from Liam and placed it into a device that looked like a sophisticated scanner. The crowd hushed as the machine whirred to life, scanning the egg with an array of lights and sounds.

Moments later, the results were displayed. The letters flashed brightly on the big gaudy display screen at the beast egg counter. A collective gasp went through the crowd as the egg's rank was revealed.
