Chapter 106: Chapter 90: Awakening the Shadow Transformation Skill
Ye Bai hurriedly put the little charcoal dog into the Pet Beast Space and then rode his electric scooter all the way back to the Cultivation House.
The little charcoal dog felt like its body was filled with lava.
Its body temperature was extremely high, and the little charcoal dog felt its arms were as heavy as thousands of pounds, unable to lift them.
When Ye Bai returned to the Cultivation House and released the little charcoal dog, its body was already covered with black flames.
The little charcoal dog’s voice had become hoarse.
The black flames seemed to blend with the little charcoal dog’s body, inseparable.
If the little charcoal dog weren’t a Fire Pet Beast, these black flames would have burnt it alive by now.
After Ye Bai opened the Eye of Insight, he found that a skill called Shadow Transformation was faintly appearing in the little charcoal dog’s skill bar.
"Damn."
Considering the information the little charcoal dog had transmitted to him earlier.
The little charcoal dog had swallowed the crystal core of the Dark Night Mosquito leader.
"Damn, didn’t the little charcoal dog just get summoned? How did it manage to nibble on the Dark Night Mosquito leader’s crystal core?"
"There’s no way the crystal core flew into the little charcoal dog’s mouth by itself; that’s just nonsense."
Ye Bai sighed deeply, deciding not to analyze the specific reason. Even if he did, it wouldn’t be very meaningful. It was more important to save the little charcoal dog first.
At this moment, the little charcoal dog was burning with black flames, looking extremely painful.
An acrid smell emanated from the little charcoal dog’s body.
It was rolling around on the ground in agony.
"Should I inject a sedative into the little charcoal dog right now?"
Ye Bai pondered this question silently.
Looking at the black flames on the little charcoal dog’s body, Ye Bai shook his head.
The flames carried high temperatures, making ordinary syringes unable to get close to the little charcoal dog.
He needed to use the high-temperature resistant syringes specifically developed for Fire Pet Beasts.
"Sunflower King, use your fragrance to ease the little charcoal dog’s pain."
Ye Bai had discovered by chance that the fragrance emitted by the Sunflower King, due to its ability to concoct Life Crystal Dew, had a calming effect.
The Sunflower King wafted a faint floral scent.
The little charcoal dog felt the intense pain throughout its body start to ease.
It began to calm down and sense the changes in its body.
The little charcoal dog felt that its body could turn into a shadow at any moment.
But it seemed as if an invisible barrier trapped it.
No matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t successfully turn its body into a shadow.
The little charcoal dog’s condition began to stabilize, and the flames on its body started to subside.
Ye Bai could also see that the skill Shadow Transformation had formed, but its name was grayed out.
Unable to use it yet?
Ye Bai raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit surprised.
Could it be that this skill had some prerequisites?
So Ye Bai logged into his account on the dark web and searched for information on the skill Shadow Transformation.
Shadow Transformation: Converts one’s flesh and blood into shadows, blending into the shadow to stay hidden, allowing silent attacks on enemies.
This skill is a Dark Skill, generally only comprehensible by Dark Pet Beasts.
Seeing this, Ye Bai had an epiphany.
The little charcoal dog currently only has the Fire Attribute and hasn’t awakened the Dark Attribute, and this skill requires the Dark Attribute to activate.
Ye Bai continued searching the dark web for information; he wanted to know how to make the little charcoal dog awaken the Dark Attribute in advance.
However, the information on the dark web was varied, lacking comprehensiveness.
Some people suggested feeding Pet Beasts crystal cores with the Dark Attribute regularly, hoping it might change their attributes over time.
Others suggested finding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with the Dark Attribute to subtly alter a Pet Beast’s attributes.
One suggestion Ye Bai found relatively reliable was the Awakening Potion with the Dark Attribute.
Through the Awakening Potion with the Dark Attribute, there’s a certain probability of awakening a second attribute.
"If that’s the case, I should find time to send out the roots of the Mandala Grass King."
Now Ye Bai realized his previous thoughts were somewhat immature.
Evidently, the first batch of produced Awakening Potions was the best, so he should directly ask the Divine Phoenix Group for this batch.
He held the primary source of the raw materials, allowing him to negotiate with the Divine Phoenix Group.
Volunteering was a bit of a waste of time.
So far, money was not something he lacked.
The reputation of the Sunflower Cleaning Company was already established, known for efficiency, good service, and affordable prices.
Now, whenever a Beast Tide erupts in Yandong Province, the Sunflower Cleaning Company is sure to be hired to handle it.
When cleaning up the flesh, the Sunflowers use the Essence Blood energy harvested to brew honey, which can also be sold to the Divine Phoenix Group, making it a win-win situation.
Ye Bai found the secret contact email of the Divine Phoenix Group on the dark web.
He sent an email to this mailbox, expressing that he had a batch of Mandala Grass King’s roots, along with the liquid flowing from the Mandala Grass King, and asked if there was a need.
If needed, then he requires the first batch of potion produced by the Divine Phoenix Group (the one for clinical trials).
At the same time, he also wants the Divine Phoenix Group to help gather information on the whereabouts of the Dragon-slaying Sword and Hellfire.
Ye Bai had just these three demands.
The email was sent, at the same time, Divine Phoenix Group headquarters.
Sofia changed her image from a girl-next-door. She let her hair down, and several large screens appeared on the desk. She was rapidly flipping through various reports and quickly jotting down comments.
Just as she was busy, suddenly an email came into the mailbox.
She originally didn’t want to pay attention to it, but she suddenly discovered it was a secret email sent from her private email on the dark web, an email no one else knew about.
By some odd instinct, Sofia clicked on this email, and the first sentence made her pupils dilate.
[By: I have a batch of premium Mandala Grass King’s roots, and the liquid that has flowed from it, don’t know if you’re interested.]
[My conditions are simple, first, I need the first batch of Awakening Potion produced (the one for clinical use, don’t use inferior products to deceive me), unless you don’t want fresh Mandala Grass King’s roots.]
[Second, I need you to gather the Dragon-slaying Sword, it must be the silver-white Dragon-slaying Sword, the more the better, once enough is gathered, I’ll come to retrieve it.]
[Third, I want the whereabouts of Hellfire.]
[I only have these three conditions, if you’re willing to accept them, just reply with an ok, and in three days, you’ll receive the Mandala Grass King’s roots.]
Sofia’s fingers tapped on the table, it seemed this person had quite a stock at hand, so dared to make a deal with her.
At this point, Sofia pressed the red button on the desk, and the butler came out from behind the door.
"Miss Sofia, do you have any instructions?"
The butler respectfully asked.
"Notify someone from the IT department to come to my office, or never mind, I’ll go there myself."
Sofia closed the laptop and left the office with the butler.
She hadn’t considered hiring a secretary, but her butler was someone who had served her for a long time.
Moreover, he was fluent in eight foreign languages, and was reputed to be the axis line of the United Nations.
Additionally, the butler was unwilling to retire from the secretary position, so Sofia simply let the old butler continue doing it.
During Sofia’s absence downstairs, the old butler had already delivered the instructions.
A group of IT department experts was waiting at the IT department.
"President, President."
As the elevator doors opened, a group of people bowed to Sofia.
When your monthly salary is three thousand, the president is not worth my bending down for.
When your monthly salary is thirty thousand, the president is my godfather.
When your monthly salary is a hundred thousand, the president is my god!
And the treatment at Divine Phoenix Group is famously good.
They never force employees to work overtime, so when the IT department experts heard the president needed them, they were moved to tears.
"Help me check the origin of this email sent to my mailbox, see if you can trace the specific location."
Sofia gave an email address.
The experts quickly typed on their keyboards, and soon found it was sent from the dark web.
Then their faces turned sour.
"President, we don’t have the technology to break through the dark web’s firewall."
"Within the dark web, those who can find your private mailbox are basically the world’s top ten ranked hackers."
Because this mailbox was set up by the top twenty ranked hackers, only the world’s top ten hackers can break through the dark web firewall to find this private mailbox.
"The President might as well trust him, the world’s top ten-ranked hackers wouldn’t bother to set up a scheme to deceive you."
These IT department experts offered their advice.
Sofia thought for a moment, she didn’t speak, and silently left.
The IT experts, usually quite cocky, were now silently sweating, thinking they could solve the president’s problem.
Turns out their limited skills were not worth mentioning in front of the world’s top hackers.
"Miss, should I use people from the dark web to investigate?"
The butler, noticing Sofia’s silent demeanor, kindly asked.
"No need, just too troublesome, follow his requirements."
"The Dragon-slaying Sword, I remember there are several kept at home as decorations, what does this guy want with such things."
"Butler, help me find out the use of the Dragon-slaying Sword, I need to assess the value before I can give an answer."
"Anyway, the guy said, as long as I reply with an ok, he can deliver the goods within three days."
"By the way, bind this mailbox to my private phone, immediately notify me if any emails come in."
Sofia issued a series of instructions.
At that moment, another email came through.
[By: Oh, by the way, respond by tonight before twelve.]
[You need to know, I don’t necessarily need you!!!]
Sofia’s spine went cold. She felt as if the person had surveillance around her, guessing her thoughts.
