Chapter 713: “Request for Subscription” Dark Demon Unbreakable
“This one is yours. Who asked you to be pink?”
Dark Demon did not spend much time thinking before making his choice.
In truth, to him, white, black, yellow, or red rabbits were all quite similar.
However, his primary purpose in purchasing the Bunny Grass was to complement “Bliss.” Therefore, he chose the pink one.
It could be considered fate.
He looked at the little rabbit, slightly smiling.
The pink fluffy bunny in front of him had no idea what was about to happen next and continued to look carefree at Dark Demon.
“You’re here.”
Not long after, Miss Cat, eating a sugar cookie, returned to the shop.
She first spoke to Dark Demon but then attended to the two seniors first before finally reaching him.
“Are you satisfied?”
“It’s alright.”
Dark Demon placed the pink fluffy bunny on his knee, occasionally teasing its three-lipped mouth or touching its little belly, which brought back some of the initial joy he felt when raising a Grass Cat Plant.
This pink fluffy bunny, after all, was still a Grass Cat Plant, not as fragile as a domesticated rabbit, and was very easy to take care of.
Miss Cat took out from the cabinet the magic potion needed for the Bunny Grass, placing it on the table, and then calculated the required credits, casually asking, “What about later? Do you want any other types of Grass Cat Plants?”
Dark Demon thought carefully and said, “Dragon?”
That water dragon at home was indeed useful now, but if future research became more detailed, especially with directed formulation, it might become troublesome.
What he truly wanted was a dragon without attribute inclination.
However, Miss Cat immediately shook her head, saying, “As I said, that was an unexpected result.”
Dark Demon asked again and, seeing there was no way, thought of another creature—bears!
At the same time, looking at the Bunny Grass on his knee, a new research idea suddenly came to mind.
After this idea formed, he also had a general plan for the Christmas gift he planned to give to Rose.
“Are there bears? If they are cubs, their appearance is cute enough. If we can develop them, they should be very popular.”
Miss Cat pondered for a moment and said, “Bears, perhaps it can be done.”
Dark Demon couldn’t help but smile, “Then I look forward to it.”
If he could develop it before the next Christmas, then he would have a gift ready for the bear next Christmas.
…
Afterwards, Dark Demon left the “Grass Cat Flower Shop” and went to the “Public Dueling Society Branch Store,” temporarily storing the Bunny Grass there.
Then he directly went to the Goblin Ancient Bookstore, intending to pick up a few books to give to the professors.
Professors Kazel, Shylph, and Metia.
He couldn’t think of what to give, so he decided to give them books they might like.
As for Professor Lily…
He would visit Uncle Simmons’ tavern later to see if he could get a good bottle of wine.
Hmm…
Make it two bottles.
One bottle would be given to the new maid to deliver to the Duke’s Mansion as a gift for Aunt Claire.
There were so many people in the Duke’s Mansion; he certainly couldn’t give everyone a gift. Last year, he only prepared a gift for Alvaraite, and this year, he added one more person.
In short, the focus was still on people within the academy.
Eve, Nene, and Jossie, their gifts must not be forgotten.
Especially Eve, her gift needed careful consideration.
Apart from them, he also needed to prepare gifts for the two seniors in the Magical Animal Club.
Then, among his peers, there were Eudora, Tudor, Pistons… perhaps Emma?
After all, he gave her a Christmas gift last year. If she prepares one for him this year, he should reciprocate.
Additionally, there were still many babies in the first-year class, and the Golems couldn’t be overlooked.
Of course, there was also Senior Pandora.
Dark Demon paused, suddenly feeling a sense of despair as if the sky was collapsing.
Too many!
Although he had already thought about this matter before, facing it now, Dark Demon still felt like he was carrying a deep abyss on his shoulders.
He sighed slightly and entered the Goblin Ancient Bookstore.
There was no helping it; this was part of being a sea king.
…
More than an hour later, after failing to find books, Dark Demon arrived at a small tavern on the corner of Traveler’s Street.
Since this semester, he had only gone to the tavern occasionally while shopping, not many times, but he had developed some friendship with Uncle Simmons.
Since last Christmas, when he had given Professor Shylph a bottle of “Blueberry Wine” under the guise of Dark Demon, Simmons’ situation gradually improved.
When Dark Demon came this time, he drank tea instead of alcohol with Uncle Simmons and heard him excitedly say that he had asked some professor to give a gift to Professor Shylph, and surprisingly, she didn’t throw it out the window—this made Simmons very happy.
Perhaps Professor Shylph suddenly realized that throwing things from high places was wrong—Dark Demon did not reveal his inner thoughts at the time.
But in any case, the relationship between this father and daughter seemed to have somewhat eased.
And as the culprit behind this, Dark Demon finally felt a little bit useful in Uncle Simmons’ eyes.
It was about ten o’clock. This time, Simmons was not drunk; he set up a stove at the entrance of the tavern, seemingly cooking something.
Dark Demon walked closer and immediately smelled the strong scent of alcohol, realizing something.
When Simmons saw him, he stood up happily and said, “You finally came!”
Dark Demon felt a chill in his heart, sensing something bad was about to happen.
And果然, Simmons immediately brought out a square box from inside and placed it on the table, heavy.
“What’s this?” Dark Demon asked.
The box was about half a meter tall, wrapped in gold-red cloth like a gift box.
Simmons said on the spot, “Gift.”
“I know it’s a gift,” Dark Demon asked curiously, “I mean, what’s inside?”
Simmons frowned, disdainfully saying, “It’s not for you. Why do you need to know?”
Dark Demon rolled his eyes and said, “Then what about mine?”
Simmons: “…”
After a while, he said, “Wait.”
Then he went back inside.
…
“That’s right. When someone does something for you, they should be rewarded.” Dark Demon said proudly.
Then he glanced at the gift and speculated what it could be.
“Maybe let the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ take a look?”
Just as he was scheming, Simmons finally came out of the tavern, holding two bottles of wine on either side.
Simmons seemed to know that Dark Demon wouldn’t come unless there was something important, just like last year, although the type of wine had changed.
He placed the two bottles on the table.
Dark Demon immediately recognized one as “Fairy Wine” and then looked at the other: “What kind of wine is this?”
“Beast King,” Simmons said.
The wine named “Beast King” was clear and appeared ordinary, but it should be a strong drink.
Dark Demon thought for a moment and asked, “How does this ‘Beast King’ compare to ‘Eight Desolations’?”
Simmons said, “When ‘Eight Desolations’ enters the mouth, it’s fiery hot, while ‘Beast King’ has a sweet taste that reveals its strength only after it goes down.”
In other words, it had a strong aftertaste.
Dark Demon understood instantly and said, “What’s the price?”
Simmons glanced at him and said, “Cost price, 3000.”
Dark Demon nodded, not haggling.
He knew he was already getting a good deal.
After the transaction was completed, Dark Demon sat down and chatted with Simmons for about half an hour, mainly discussing Professor Shylph’s daily life.
Dark Demon actually knew little, but Simmons seemed to light up like he had found the best appetizer.
When they finished talking, Dark Demon left.
He wished Simmons and Professor Shylph’s estrangement could be resolved soon.
…
Afterwards, Dark Demon wandered around Traveler’s Street until noon before returning to the castle. After putting everything away, he went to the Dueling Arena and practiced in the积分赛 on the “Golden Cup.”
Such weekly duels, though not frequent, helped maintain his condition, and he actually enjoyed it.
After the duel, Dark Demon returned to his dormitory and began working on experiments related to the Bunny Grass.
He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Moreover, with the continuous production of divine mana spirits, this anticipation grew rapidly.
“Corona Beast” and “Moon Beast” were both pre-evolution forms of the Olympian Twelve Deities in “Digital Monsters,” possessing divine attributes conceptually.
Especially the ultimate evolution form of “Moon Beast”—”Diana Beast”—was known as the “Moon Goddess” among the Olympian Twelve Deities!
The Moon Goddess was the deity Dark Demon researched most at this time.
If he could truly evolve digital beasts to their ultimate forms, those related to the Moon Goddess would likely be among the first.
If he could refine it now, it would be ideal.
Even if he couldn’t refine the “Moon Beast,” refining other “Bliss” mana spirits would be perfect for forming a “Bliss” deck.
With more and more “Moon Goddess Version Bliss,” he had fully developed the capability to build a “Bliss” deck.
Of course, the most important thing was having plenty of “Moon Goddess Version Bliss”!
If used for cultivating “Bliss Fruits,” about twenty points of “Moon Goddess Version Bliss” would be needed.
Two hundred and fifty points could stabilize the cultivation of ten fruits.
By stacking numbers, he could eventually refine a “Moon Beast.”
“Looks like I’m tired of reading, let me do some experiments to relax.”
Dark Demon rubbed his temples and started preparing for the experiment.
First, he prepared the “Bliss Fruit (Rabbit).”
He turned his head towards the bed, where the Grass Cat Plants were curiously examining their new companion, their eyes full of spirit.
Just like how the Mana Dropper changed due to prolonged contact with “Capital Sin,” these Grass Cat Plants were also gradually changing.
Originally just plants simulating animal traits, they were now becoming more like real animals.
Perhaps one day, they really would change.
Dark Demon walked over, picked up the Bunny Grass, and headed to the balcony.
First, he used the Mana Dropper to inject “Moon Goddess Version Bliss” into one of the worm branches, then placed the Bunny Grass in front of the branch.
The Bunny Grass, which had remained motionless since entering the dormitory, finally cautiously extended its pink tongue.
Then came a storm of licking!
Seeing this, Dark Demon smiled contentedly.
Feeding it eight times, each time with three points of “Moon Goddess Version Bliss,” the newly purchased Bunny Grass finally bore its first fruit.
It wasn’t aware of what was happening inside its body, only feeling its head becoming heavier, thus becoming more steady.
Only when Dark Demon cut off the “Bliss Fruit (Rabbit)” and the root did it move its head.
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summon—Huhu!”
Dark Demon summoned Huhu beside him and inserted the pink fruit into its body until the juice flowed out.
The “Bliss Fruit” cultivated with “Moon Goddess Version Bliss” might be slightly inferior in quality but would have more lunar power, suitable for refining mana spirits related to the moon.
Dark Demon placed the extracted “Bliss Juice (Rabbit)” on the experimental table and selected one item from the materials he had bought in the morning.
Apart from the gifts, he also bought some materials related to “Rabbit.”
These materials might not be of high grade, but they were sufficient for refining the first-tier mana spirits.
“For the first time, let’s use this.”
Dark Demon pondered for a moment and picked out a ruby-like eye.
This was the eye of the magic beast “Red-Eye Rabbit,” said to be able to shed blood-red tears, a versatile medicinal ingredient.
“The conjure method is ‘Avian-beast Kin-General Attribute.'”
“The core materials are ‘Bliss Juice (Rabbit)’ and ‘Red-Eye Rabbit’s Eye.'”
The reason for choosing the general attribute was that he couldn’t determine what attribute the “Moon Beast” would be.
The general attribute conjuring method had the maximum inclusiveness, capable of producing mana spirits of various attributes.
If this attempt failed, he would consider trying the “Avian-beast Kin-Dark Attribute,” as the “Divine Rank Armed (Moon Goddess)” was dark attribute.
In any case, once he determined it, Dark Demon immediately began the experiment.
For experiments of this level, he was already proficient. From preparing the materials to the end of the experiment, it took less than half an hour.
Basically, this was the limit time for such experiments.
After washing the final product clean, the mana card gradually emitted a golden aura.
Mana spirits refined using “Capital Sin Fruit” were generally not weak in quality, with a high probability of appearing as gold cards.
—It was not that gold cards were rare.
Dark Demon then looked at the card surface.
Inside the card, there was a pink fluffy bunny standing on a stump!
