Chapter 35: The Strange Star Beast
Although I still feel extremely puzzled by Morning Star's explanation, I think that Morning Star is my exclusive star beast after all, and the relationship with my own prosperity and loss is the same. So in the end, I believed in it, and began to introduce all the star energy in the star stripe into the consciousness body that I used to feel the star energy. At this time, bursts of energy fluctuations were constantly coming from the Star Beast Creation Equipment controlled by Morning Star, making the smart aura in the star stripes more and more lively. At the same time, Chenping gradually felt that his sensory world became clearer and clearer, as if there was a pair of eyes of his own in the stars.
Without the rampage of star energy, without the backlash of star beasts, even the pain caused by excessive star energy concentration gradually subsided. When Chenping reacted, a silver-white jellyfish-like star beast floated out of his body and kindly rested on his shoulder. The process was so smooth that Chenping himself couldn't react. And when he saw that the appearance of the star beast was actually a little similar to the stardust war beast he saw in outer space that day, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
"Let it drain star energy for you!" Just when Chenping was distracted, Morning Star reminded him.
Chenping suddenly came back to his senses, and with a thought, he channeled the star beast back into the star stripes, and then began to frantically attract the surrounding star energy. With the strange state of the star beast's body when it awakens, it will be easier to absorb star energy and expand star patterns, so it is absolutely impossible for Chenping to let go of such a good opportunity. Due to the action of the awakened star beast just now, the star energy in the star energy vortex was forcibly extracted, and at this time, the star energy vortex had already collapsed, and the quality of star energy began to decline. But there is no way to do it, Chenping can only let the indoor star energy play as much as possible!
With a crisp "bang", a powerful star energy suddenly erupted from Chenping's side, pushing him to the wall. And when he looked up, he was horrified to find that the S-class star source stone he had just thrown on the ground had been shattered by a long tentacle, and the star energy that had just exploded came from this. When Chenping took a closer look, he found that the tentacle was sticking out from his body, greedily absorbing the burst of star energy.
"Morning Star!" Chenping asked loudly.
"It's not me, it's another star beast!" Morningstar immediately argued.
"Why?" Chenping angrily confronted the star beast.
"......" didn't answer, and the star beast just continued to extract star energy on its own.
"What about you?" An ominous feeling welled up in Chenping's mind, but he still asked again without giving up.
"......" still didn't answer, and the star beast didn't seem to hear Chenping's words at all.
Seeing this, Chen Ping immediately integrated his mind completely into the body of the star beast, and immediately connected with this monster, instantly seeing all its feelings and thoughts thoroughly. But as soon as the two thoughts merged, Chenping was startled by what he saw, and the whole person almost collapsed. It's not that the star beast is hostile to itself, it's not that the monster is deliberately causing trouble, and it's not that there is something wrong with its thinking, but because the star beast has only one thought in its mind, and that is hunger. Nothing beyond that—yes, really nothing!
"Morning Star!" Chenping roared directly, because he couldn't accept that the star beast he had awakened was a waste star beast with no brains. Although the rating of the Star Beast is very complicated, ordinary people look at the quality of the Star Beast, in addition to its strength and skills, basically based on its intelligence. The smarter the star beast, the higher the quality, and it has almost become an iron law for people to evaluate star beasts. Suddenly, I found that the S-class star beast I was looking forward to had become a completely brainless stupid thing, and no one could stand it!
"The quality of star energy will drop immediately, condense the star energy vortex first, and talk about the rest later!" Ignoring Chenping's anger, Morning Star reminded Morningping to condense the star energy vortex again.
"You wait!" Chen Ping gritted his teeth and said a word, and directly controlled the idiot star beast to stretch out countless tentacles to re-condense star energy. The monster seemed to be very hungry, but under the strong suppression of the host, it finally stopped absorbing star energy without permission. At this time, Chenping found that the tentacles of this star beast were very useful, and his mind was like using his arms, and in the blink of an eye, the diffused star energy condensed into a star energy vortex again, absorbing all the star energy around him.
"Feed it first, maybe there will be a surprise!" Seeing that the star energy vortex was formed, and the purple brilliance inside did not fade, Morning Star spoke weakly at this time.
"It's scary!" Chenping coldly corrected Morning Star's diction. Eventually, though, he started to do it, channeling some of the starlight from the starlight vortex into the starstripe to feed the star beast. The host's restriction was lifted, and the star beast immediately began to continuously inhale star energy.
After the Starlight Vortex took shape, the original Starlight combined with the huge Starlight support provided by the mines soon formed a scale again. But in addition to feeding the star beasts in Chenping, he still has to extract some of it himself. It's just that as time passed, he slowly realized that something was wrong—that jellyfish star beast was too edible! It took a full day to barely feed the monster, and Chenping himself was so tired that he fell to the ground and didn't want to move.
Although there is no set time for the Awakening Star Beast, it will not normally exceed one day, but Chenping knew that he would need to spend a lot of time condensing S-level star energy this time, so he gave the Awakening Center three days' rent in advance. originally thought that there was enough time, but he didn't expect that this time the whole journey would take him more than three days, and even more than nearly a day. It was only when he saw that the S-grade Star Source Stone in his hand was finally saved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The star reserve level is S-level, the explosiveness is S-level, the nervous response is S-level, and the self-recovery ability is S-level...... Intelligence is grade F; The energy level of the star beast is the third order, and it has awakened three abilities, which are assimilation, attachment and domestication...... "Hearing a series of S-grades, Chenping's originally ugly face finally improved a little, but suddenly an intelligence F-level came, allowing him to directly ignore all the content behind.
"How much intelligence is it?" Chenping stared at the morning star, which had been separated from the awakening room, and asked coldly.
"Not zero, but infinitely close to zero!" Morningstar said as blandly as he could.
"Zero, can intelligence still be close to zero?" Chenping suddenly didn't quite understand the concept.
"It's that it acts entirely on instinct!" Morningstar added.
"What instincts does it have?"
"Until now, I've only found it to be a little reactive to eating!" Morningstar honestly analyzed.
"You're fooling me!" Chenping jumped up and chased after Morning Star and wanted to beat it.
"Don't hit me! I just upgraded the light brain, and a lot of raw materials can't be found outside, so if it breaks, it can't be repaired! Morningstar argued as he hid. At this time, the awakening room has been restored to its original state, and Morning Star has stolen a lot of precious materials here to upgrade his light brain system - if it is not afraid of being discovered, it will probably be even more ruthless!
"Then tell me, what's the use of it?" Chenping was so tired that he couldn't catch up with Morning Star at all, he asked almost desperately.
"It has the ability to assimilate, and only finding a suitable high-energy creature can allow you to step up to the fourth order!" Morningstar said seriously.
"Really?" Chenping was stunned when he heard this, and his face immediately improved. You must know that this time the awakening of the second star beast that he had high hopes for provided him with a lot of star energy, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket, and the expansion of the star stripe was very unsmooth. At this time, when I heard that I could easily reach the fourth order, I naturally felt a lot better. At this time, he couldn't help but be curious about the role of the other two abilities, so he asked, "What about the other two skills?" ”
"The ability of appendages is similar to the 'armor' type skill, although it is a little different, but it can barely be fused with the mecha to improve the combat effectiveness of the mecha. And it's more versatile than 'carapace'. As for the skill of domestication, it is the ability to domesticate war beasts. It's just ......" Morning Star stopped talking.
"It's impossible for a bug without intelligence to domesticate any war beast, right?" Chenping said with an angry face.
“……”
Chenping pushed open the door of the awakening room in a depressed manner, and walked to the workbench to go through the formalities under the surprised eyes of the staff. After making up the payment, at the request of the staff, Chen Ping reluctantly handed over the jellyfish-shaped star beast and asked the professionals of the Awakening Center to do a detailed inspection. Just unexpectedly, the test result was greatly unexpected by him!
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen, you got an S-class star beast!" After seeing the results of the examination, the staff member was shocked and extremely envious and congratulated.
"What?" Chenping almost thought that he had misheard, and looked at the staff in front of him in shock and asked, "You just said that it was S-class?" ”
"Yes, the overall evaluation is an S-class star beast!" The staff replied with a smile in the affirmative. He had seen quite a few people like Chenping, so he wasn't surprised at all. After all, it's an S-level star beast, and whoever listens to it won't be able to react at the first time!
"But I tested its intelligence myself just now, and it seems to be very low!" Chenping struggled to control his emotions and asked seriously.
"It's really low intelligence, but it's still S-class!" The smiles of the staff are still very bright.
"What?" Chenping snatched the test report and was stunned to find that the letter written in the column of the star beast's intelligence evaluation was not F, but S. He looked up at the staff in shock and asked, "Its intelligence is so low, how can it be S-class?" ”
"Mr. Chen, you drink saliva first, calm down! Because this problem you encounter is really rare, let me explain it to you in detail. Seeing that Chenping was so excited, the staff picked up the water cup that had been placed on the table earlier and handed it to Chenping, and said patiently: "Mr. Chen, the intelligence of your star beast is not low, but infinitely close to zero. It's completely two different concepts from mental retardation, and you can't confuse it! ”
"Does it make a difference?" Chenping looked at the staff member in surprise, suspecting that the other party was playing tricks on himself.
"Of course there is a difference! Low intelligence means that the star beast is stupid, but the lack of intelligence means that the star beast cannot be described as stupid! Chenping almost vomited blood when he heard this, he was already sure that this guy was laughing at himself. What's even worse is that this guy obviously has no intention of stopping, and continues to ridicule: "It's like a stone, can you call it stupid?" And you, a star beast, have almost the same intelligence as a stone, so you can't describe it as stupid! ”
"You're not done!" Even if Chenping is muddy, there is fire at this time!
"Mr. Chen, don't you understand? Because this star beast of yours has no intelligence, it has developed a special passive skill, Psychic Attack Immunity, which is why its intelligence evaluation is so high! The staff's words not only instantly made Chenping's anger disappear, but even made him stunned!
