BXBX NOVEL Chapter 245 - Payment For The Mutations?
After everything was done, he returned to Shirong and entered the ring. He just decided to spend the rest of the time cultivating.
Lin Wu was also wondering if he should let his avatar breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm. While it was good for his own strength, it would also make it so that he would not be able to be shrink.
If his size was as big as his main body was, there was no way Shirong would be able to wield him. Though he also reckoned that he may be able to make different forms that he may be able to use.
"Hmm… I\'ll have to think more over this…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he let his avatar cultivate and returned to his main body.
Lin Wu had played around a little bit in his organic form and then chose to return to the Crystalline form. He already got the information that he wanted and it had already been added to the system\'s data banks.
Since he had decided to get his servants to cook for him, he now needed to check up on them.
"Have they still not woken up?" Lin Wu said, as he looked at their status.
But then another thought came to his mind.
\'Will they even be able to cook with their forms, though? I think I\'ll need someone that is more humanoid.\' Lin Wu thought.
And as soon as he thorough of humanoid beasts, his mind went to the monkey beasts or more particularly the Slim Arm ape king. Lin Wu already knew that all of the monkey beasts were under his control and if he wanted to recruit one, he may as well meet the Slim Arm ape king.
"Looks like it is time already…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.
He remembered the Split Thorn Horn Beetle king wanted to come with him and thus contracted him with the help of the communication jade slip he had given him.
"Crimson eyed emerald Worm?" The beetle king spoke, still feeling the novelty of using something like this.
"I\'m going to meet up with the Slim Arm ape king. Are you going to join?" Lin Wu questioned.
"You\'re going already? Hmm… alright, I\'ll come with you." The beetle king answered.
"Alright, I\'m leaving right now and will meet you midway." Lin Wu said before stopping the connection.
He teleported to the top of the tomb and then flew from there. About half an hour later, he saw the huge body of the beetle king flying up ahead. Both the beasts sensed each other and Lin Wu came to fly at his side.
"Weren\'t you gonna pick out some of your subordinates for the mutations?" Lin Wu asked, remembering what he had promised.
"Well, yes… and I did tell them but it ended up turning into something different." The beetle king replied.
"Different? How?" Lin Wu asked, feeling curious.
"Well, after they heard that only the strong will be eligible to receive and survive the mutations, they decided to determine who among them is the strongest. So now they are having a string of battles like those humans have." The beetle king answered.
"You mean a tournament? They\'re having a tournament." Lin Wu said.
"Yes, yes, that thing. They have been battling since that day and I had to tell them to go away. They were creating too much disturbance while I wast cultivating." The beetle king replied.
"So… what about the mutations?" Lin Wu asked again.
"When they are done, they will return and then you can do them. Though do you need something for that?" The beetle King asked.
Lin Wu thought for a bit and realized that he shouldn\'t just do it for free like that since he would be spending quite a bit of his spirit Qi on it.
"Hmm… tell you what, when they come, tell them to bring in other beasts that I can eat. I will be using up spirit Qi so I\'d like something to eat." Lin Wu answered.
"This is acceptable." The beetle king replied.
It was nothing for his subordinates and descendant to bring beasts as payment.
"Oh, I wanted to ask another thing." Lin Wu suddenly spoke.
"Ask then," The beetle king responded.
He was feeling a bit strange as the mannerism that Lin Wu used to talk were an awful lot similar to that of the humans and he didn\'t know why he did that.
\'Did he spend time with humans too?\' The beetle king wondered.
"Are there any fruits, vegetables, and spices that grow in the forest that the humans use?" Lin Wu questioned.
"I know of the fruits, but I don\'t know anything particular for the other two things you asked. There are many fruits in the forest which you probably should have seen too. But why are you asking this?" The beetle king replied.
"Oh, if your subordinates are going to come for the mutations, they can also bring those things as payment." Lin Wu answered.
"Finding spirit fruits will be a bit difficult but normal fruits should be easy." The beetle king said.
"Hmm… if they are able to bring a spirit fruit, they don\'t need to bring a beast and if they are bringing normal fruit, they either need to bring a large quantity of it or also bring beasts with it." Lin Wu explained.
"Really? You will be fine with normal fruit as compensation?" The beetle king said, feeling a bit apprehensive.
"It should be fine. You can tell them that." Lin Wu confirmed.
The beetle king couldn\'t say much after that and simply screeched in agreement. And just like this, the two Nascent Soul realm beasts reached their destination.
