Chapter 107

White Fang showed signs of evolution, and Mu Huiyue was very happy. After all, among the three pets, White Fang’s evolutionary path was the most uncertain.

If White Fang could successfully evolve, it would also bring a breakthrough in the dark attribute research institute’s projects, offering a new direction for research into attribute energy and skill evolution.

Referring to Ellen’s situation, Mu Huiyue set the timing for White Fang’s evolution attempt after it reached the 10th stage of its growth period and fully absorbed the B-grade dual-type resource [Frost Night Ice Flower].

Currently, the growth levels of the three pets were advancing quickly. Harvey was growing rapidly due to its own potential and the effects of the [Harvest] skill. Even if it did nothing while stationed in the [Farmland], the rebound effect from [Harvest] would continuously increase the latent energy within it.

Ellen and White Fang were progressing quickly due to massive amounts of training. Besides their battles with the Starshine Battle Club at school, they spent almost all of their remaining time in the [Training Grounds], constantly refining their skills.

It had been over half a month since returning from Xizhou, and all three pets had reached the high stages of their growth period, almost ready to break through to maturity.

In contrast, Mu Huiyue’s level 4 Beastmaster Space was limiting the pets’ breakthroughs.

Realizing this, Mu Huiyue couldn’t help but fall silent. It felt like her little companions were pushing themselves too hard, and now the pressure was on her as their Beastmaster…

However, human energy is limited. Aside from time dedicated to studying, researching, and battling, Mu Huiyue truly had little time left to allocate to her meditation progress.

Unlike Professor Xie Qingwei, who had a [Soulbond] guardian spirit that could push her life force to the extreme, working late into the night in the lab to catch up, Mu Huiyue didn’t have such a luxury.

The ideal situation would be to plant more related crops in the [Farmland], regularly harvesting [Space Fruits] to increase her Beastmaster level.

And now, the most important event regarding these farmland crops was about to begin.

Luckily, there were no classes this morning. Mu Huiyue, staying in her small apartment, adjusted her state, closed her eyes, and let her consciousness sink into the Beastmaster Space.

The three pets, knowing today was an important day, were waiting under the World Tree for their Beastmaster to arrive.

Yes, after all this time of waiting and preparation, the [Harvest Season Special Recommended Summon] event was finally starting today.

Through high-intensity battles over the past half month, along with the resources accumulated beforehand, Mu Huiyue had gathered enough for fifty pulls of [Spirit Spring Water Drops].

Added to that was the pull boost from successfully contracting pets related to the [Harvest] concept. Today was sure to be a day of great bounty.

She arrived beneath the World Tree, opened the Spirit Ranch Story game panel, and clicked on the event summon pool.

The original preview screen had been replaced by the Spirit Spring Temple where the card pulls could be made. Mu Huiyue nervously glanced at the resources on the interface, as well as the descriptions of the boost probabilities and drop rates that she had studied many times.

This was Harvey’s first time participating in a summoning event. Sensing the emotions from the Beastmaster’s contract, Harvey let out a curious rustling sound.

Mu Huiyue was a very emotionally stable human Beastmaster. Even when battling strong enemies, the emotions conveyed through her contract were more about thinking and excitement. It was rare to feel such a racing heartbeat or nervousness from her.

Click click. Ellen briefly explained this mysterious card-pulling activity to the new companion and how their Beastmaster didn’t really believe in her luck.

“Wang woo?” White Fang sat on the ground. Harvey was likely the [Boost Pet] for this card pull, right? Mu Huiyue probably chose to bring you along. Good luck!

Click! The Card Soldier nodded. “How many fruits we can eat and how many seeds we can have in the farmland all depends on you, Harvey!”

“Rustle…” The Night Demon Scarecrow swayed its body, not fully understanding… but as long as it was what the Beastmaster said, a little tap here should be enough, right?

Mu Huiyue placed the Spirit Spring Temple summon pool interface in front of Harvey. Seeing the [Rare Seed Probability 20% Up] system buff appear on Harvey, she couldn’t help but show an expression of anticipation.

“Just like this, Harvey. Click five times in this spot,” Mu Huiyue said.

Harvey summoned a crow and, with its claws, clicked five times in the location for a ten-pull summon.

The Spirit Spring Temple on the interface was activated, with rich streams of water flowing down. The calm water surface rippled, and a dazzling light burst forth from the temple’s fountain pool.

Mu Huiyue and the two pets held their breath nervously, waiting for the first round of light to explode.

A surge of light moved within the fountain, and then, with a whoosh, it erupted suddenly.

Rainbow light in seven colors!

Rainbow light in seven colors!

Another rainbow light in seven colors!

Mu Huiyue was almost blinded by these three consecutive rainbow lights, feeling like she could barely breathe.

It is said that beginners, when they first pull cards and don’t yet understand the rarity probabilities of various items, are the most likely to pull SSRs—this is commonly known as the “beginner’s protection period.”

She wondered if Harvey had such a mysterious newbie buff, as the rainbow light was flashing as if it were free…

Even considering her experience with games before her transmigration, Mu Huiyue had never witnessed such a spectacular scene of consecutive SSR rainbow lights—this much luck was overwhelming.

The fourth ten-pull finally returned to golden light, but Mu Huiyue’s heart hadn’t calmed yet, and then she saw the fifth rainbow light in seven colors.

The area under the World Tree fell into silence for a moment. Mu Huiyue was so stunned by the overwhelming display of wealth that she couldn’t speak. Ellen and White Fang didn’t fully understand the card-pool mechanics, but seeing the seven rainbow lights in one breath from Harvey seemed to exceed anything they had witnessed before.

“Rustle…” Sensing the emotional fluctuation in the contract, the Night Demon Scarecrow also became a little nervous, gently swaying its body as it asked.

“Did I not do well?”

“No…” Mu Huiyue struggled to regain her voice, slowly giving Harvey a thumbs-up. “You did too well. I’m surprised, actually…”

It took her a while to calm down, and then, with great anticipation, she opened the details page and began to count the rewards from this round of the event pool.

First, the biggest surprise from this event—four instances of rainbow light in the fifty pulls, meaning at least four ultra-rare SSR-tier items.

[Tree Species: Earth and Heaven Five Metals Fruit]

[Attribute: None]

[Description: A rare tree species capable of bearing Earth and Heaven Five Metals Fruit. The mature Five Metals Fruit can replace part of the function of Holy Spirit Crystals to upgrade existing facilities in the ranch.]

[Status: Plantable]

The first SSR-tier seed left Mu Huiyue stunned. After all, [Holy Spirit Crystals] were the most valuable resource in the ranch. Since she bound the game system, she had only drawn three of them, all of which were used to unlock new ranch facilities.

Each ranch facility could greatly enhance her and her pets’ abilities. Because of this, Mu Huiyue had been reluctant to use [Holy Spirit Crystals] to upgrade existing facilities. At least at this stage, it seemed more cost-effective to unlock new facilities directly.

With this [Earth and Heaven Five Metals Tree Species], she could use the mature Five Metals Fruits to upgrade existing facilities. Furthermore, this tree could continuously produce fruits in batches, essentially giving her an endless source of SSR-tier items.

Mu Huiyue couldn’t help but imagine the future effects of upgrading facilities like the [Farm], [Training Ground], and [Rest Hut]… If there were surplus Five Metals Fruits, she could even try upgrading the World Tree itself, directly increasing the level of her Beast Master Space.

She took a deep breath to steady herself and then turned to look at the second SSR-tier item.

[Tree Species: Miracle Potential Fruit]

[Attribute: None]

[Description: An upgraded version of the Experience Fruit tree species. It can bear rare Miracle Potential Fruits, significantly enhancing a pet’s evolutionary potential and their potential for comprehending skills. It may also yield some miraculous fruits.]

[Status: Plantable]

Mu Huiyue was a bit confused by the effects of this tree species. While [evolutionary potential] was easy to understand, what exactly did [comprehension potential] for skills refer to?

Additionally, the phrase [may yield miracles] was quite vague. It wasn’t like the usual item descriptions, which clearly listed their objective effects.

However, the effects of [Experience Fruit] were well-known. Not only did it enhance a pet’s latent energy, accelerating their ascension, but it also made it easier for skills to evolve during minor evolutions while leveling up.

As an upgraded version of the [Experience Fruit], this [Miracle Potential Fruit] should be even stronger.

Mu Huiyue stroked her chin thoughtfully and then turned her attention to the third SSR-tier item.

[Cradle Lily Seed]

[Attribute: Wood-type]

[Description: A rare seed that can grow beautiful lilies. The Cradle Lily has a calming effect, easing nightmare symptoms and soothing souls struggling in pain. After accumulating a certain amount, it can be used to craft a Revival Cradle.]

[Status: Plantable]

This was another seed Mu Huiyue didn’t quite understand. In the real world, she had never heard of a plant called [Cradle Lily], and there was no mention of it in the Bureau of Affairs’ investigation reports.

However, based on the description, the Cradle Lily seemed to be an ordinary wood-type extraordinary resource with some stabilizing properties. Mu Huiyue was more interested in the final mention of [Revival Cradle].

The last time she heard the term [Revival] was when Deputy Minister Su Luo mentioned [Ruo Meng].

The legendary Summer King, Jing Heng, in the history of Great Yan, contracted Ruo Meng in his quest for immortality. The Ruo Meng evolved during his eternal dream of longevity, awakening the ultra-S-level Light-type skill Revival.

The [Revival] skill granted King Jing Heng a lifespan far beyond human limits, and over six hundred years later, he was still alive, serving as a secret realm investigator for the Bureau of Affairs.

In the description, this [Revival Cradle]—could it have a similar effect to the [Revival] skill?

Mu Huiyue could only guess at this point, and the word [Craft] mentioned in the description likely didn’t refer to a simple crafting process but rather required the [Workshop] facility in the ranch to be activated.

But in any case, since this was an SSR-tier item drawn from the card pool, its effects couldn’t possibly be subpar. Even if it wasn’t useful right now, it might prove invaluable in the future.

With that thought, Mu Huiyue paused for a moment and then turned her attention to the final SSR-tier item.

[Nightmare Rose Seed]

[Attributes: Dark, Undead]

[Description: A rare seed that can grow Nightmare Flowers. The most vivid flowers don’t require soil nutrients but instead crave the irrigation of the thoughts and memories of the deceased. Each Nightmare will bloom in a unique form.]

[Status: Plantable]
