I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 7: The First Evolution

“Ding! An energy item has been detected. Do you want to convert it into evolution points?”

Mu Liang’s eyes lit up. It turned out that the System needed the vicious beast crystal, which contained energy.

He couldn’t wait to order in his mind, “Convert.”

“Ding! Conversion is successful. You have obtained 100 evolution points.”

A voice sounded in Mu Liang’s mind and the vicious beast crystal turned into water. It fell from his hand and disappeared.

“Eh???? Where is the vicious beast crystal?”

Mino’s eyes widened as she looked at the back of Mu Liang’s palm in surprise.

The girl’s face was almost touching Mu Liang’s palm, but she still didn’t understand how the beast crystal disappeared.

“Well, this is my other ability.” Mu Liang pinched the girl’s face in amusement.

When he had heard the name ‘vicious beast crystal’, he knew that this crystal was produced from the body of a vicious beast.

Mu Lian finally knew how to obtain evolution points.

“What an amazing ability,” Mino said in surprise.

“I’m going to search other people’s bodies to look for more vicious beast crystals.”

The young girl rushed towards the first thief scout who was killed by Mu Liang.

“System, how many evolution points does it take for a tamed beast to evolve to the next level?” Mu Liang asked in his mind.

“Ding! It takes 10 evolution points to evolve from level 1 to level 2.”

“So how many evolution points does it take to upgrade to level 3?”

“Ding! It takes 100 evolution points to evolve from level 2 to level 3.”

“The required points actually increased by ten times.”

Mu Liang shook his head helplessly as he thought of evolving a tamed beast to level 3.

He ordered the rock-armor tortoise to meet up with him and prepared to evolve him to level 2.

“Come here, Xiao Cai.” Mu Liang waved to the rock wall not far away.

A tricolored lizard surfaced on the rock wall and quickly rushed toward him.

Mu Liang placed his palm on the tricolored lizard and ordered: “System, evolve the tricolored lizard.”

“Ding! Level 1 tricolored lizard evolved to level 2, deduct 10 evolution points.”

“Ding! Tricolored lizard has evolved to Level 2 successfully.”

“Ding! Improving the tamer’s ‘Mimetic color change’ ability to Level 2 ‘Mimetic color change’.”

Soon, Mu Liang felt the familiar warm current spreading through his body again.

His body was once again strengthened.

“Even my ability has improved. It’s quite convenient.” Mu Liang exclaimed.

When he looked at the tricolored lizard, he found that it did not change much.

Only its size had become a meter long, and it had obtained a strong attacking power.

If an ordinary person didn’t pay attention to its sneak attack, they would be bitten to death.

“I only found a little dried meat.” Mino returned with a palm-sized piece of dried meat.

When she saw the big lizard in front of Mu Liang, her blue eyes lit up and she unconsciously licked the corners of her mouth.

“Hiss~~” The tricolored lizard warily stared at the young girl. It felt uncomfortable upon being stared at by the young girl.

“Well, this is a pet I just tamed today. It’s not for eating.”

Mu Liang unhappily grabbed the young girl’s rabbit’s ear to stop her from killing his tamed beast with a single blade.

“Hoo~~” Mino felt embarrassed as her sensitive ears were tugged.

“Ahem…” Mu Liang quickly let go of his hand. Upon seeing the girl’s rabbit ears, he had an urge to touch them with his hands for a long time.

However, he didn’t expect the young girl’s reaction to be so big.

“Don’t pull my ears.”

Mino blushed, pouted in discontent, and yelled, “I’m not a pet.”

“Yes, yes.” Mu Liang waved his hand in response.

Her ears felt very good.

He decided that he would play with them again when he had the chance.

“Huh? I can hear the footsteps of the rock-armor tortoise.”

Mino’s ears twitched, and she said in surprise: “It’s coming towards us.”

“I called it over to meet up with me.” Mu Liang looked at the girl’s rabbit ears in surprise.

He had a spiritual connection with the rock-armor tortoise. That was why he knew that it was two or three hundred meters away.

However, this young girl could actually hear the sound from so far away, and she could even recognize the footsteps of the rock-armor tortoise. This ability was very powerful.

A few minutes later, the rock-armor tortoise came in front of them.

“System, evolve the rock-armor tortoise.”

Mu Liang placed his one hand on the head of the rock-armor tortoise.

“Ding! Level 1 Rock-Armor Tortoise evolved to level 2, deduct 10 evolution points.”

“Ding! Rock-Armor Tortoise has evolved to Level 2 successfully.”

“Ding! Improving the tamer’s ‘Earth Rock Burst’ ability to Level 2 ‘Earth Rock Burst’.”

After Mu Liang received the ability enhancement, he opened his character panel.

[Tamer: Mu Liang]

Strength: 9.6. Spirit: 16

Talent: Mimetic Color Change. (Level 2)

…………

The two tamed beasts evolved to level 2, and all of Mu Liang’s attributes almost doubled.

Especially his life span, which had even reached an astonishing 260 years.

This was the longevity that so many people had dreamed of, and Mu Liang had obtained it so easily.

“The tortoise is getting bigger once again…….”

The young girl cried out in shock.

Mu Liang looked back at the rock tortoise and found that its change was really big.

The original one-meter-large rock-armor tortoise was now more than ten times larger. It was about the size of a ten-square-meter room.

“Oww~~”

The rock-armor tortoise made a delighted sound, and its head, which was bigger than a washbasin, moved toward Mu Liang.

“Okay, okay, be good.” Mu Liang raised his hand to press the tortoise’s head and coaxed it like a child.

Right now, the rock-armor tortoise would be more than three meters tall if it stood up.

“Mu Liang, you are so amazing.”

Mino’s blue eyes shone with admiration.

No one would believe that the giant rock-armor tortoise in front of them, which was only the size of a palm yesterday, could become so huge.
