Non-stop Harvest

Lucas didn't feel any drastic changes in his body.

"Maybe it works only after harvesting all 10 animals. In any case, I better start with the others."

Lucas needed 9 more harvests to complete Existence level 1, but his lab only had 4 species right now, which included dogs, cats, earthworms, lizards, and pigeons.

So Lucas gave a call to Williams asking him to bring 5 lower animal species other than what he had.

The animal species were divided into 3 classes: basic/low, evolved, and super. There also existed apocalypse-class beasts, but they were just legends. At least there was no further information about this class in Ying-Yang City.

Lucas, after ordering Williams, hung up and went ahead to deal with other animals.

While Williams, after listening to this weird request, was flabbergasted as to why Lucas would need animals.

"Lord Lucas is not a simple man. Even Master Zaron is very respectful towards him."

Back in the lab...

Lucas was now under the onslaught of a dog. Only after repeated attempts did he manage to kill it, and after absorbing the DNA, he woke up again.

"Sigh... what a bother. Why is this existence level requirement so weird? Who knows how many times am I going to be stripped down of my humanity to become dogs, cats, and what not?"

Lucas looked at the watch and was shocked to see the time passed was just 2 hours.

"It seems in that dimension time slows down. Hmm, well, works for me anyways."

Lucas then continued the same process on the remaining two animals.

Just as he finished it, Williams walked in.

Williams was bewildered after seeing the bodies of dead animals.

"Is Lord Lucas part of some cult or something? But that is so old-fashioned."

Williams then placed all the 5 animal cages on the floor.

Lucas almost had a stroke after seeing the animals Williams had brought.

"Wtf is wrong with this old man? A crocodile, bat, mongoose... mongoose, really? Where the hell did he even get this from?"

"Forget it, it's better this way. At least it will harden my resolve."

Lucas, after calming down himself, started the harvesting again.

He took some breaks in between and was starting to get tired, but still, he kept going on.

After almost 26 hours...

Lucas was now in front of a DNA strand obtained after killing the mongoose.

"Hahaha, now now, come to daddy." Lucas then grabbed the strand.

The strand disappeared as if it was absorbed by Lucas.

His body started convulsing, his breath became louder as time passed by. After some time, the process stopped and the anticipated screen came in front of him.

__________________________________________________

Existence Level 1

10/10 Basic species harvested

Note: Due to below 10 farmer level, evolution has been stopped.

The evolution will continue after the host reaches farmer level 10.

The effects of Existence level have unlocked only to a certain extent.

Lucas, after coming back from the dark dimension, immediately started swearing.

"What the extreme fuckganza is this? And you tell this to me after I went through this whole hellish process... urgh... wait, even if the process was stopped, I can feel changes in my body."

"It's like something in my body has been strengthened and all basic attributes have increased. In short, a better foundation. Hmm, not bad."

Lucas wanted to analyze his body but he suddenly collapsed.

"Now what the fu... v."

Thud!

...…

After a day, Lucas suddenly woke up with his hands in front of his chest in a martial art pose.

"Woof… woof… who the fook?"

Williams, who just entered Lucas's bedroom to check on him, was shocked to see Lucas barking like a dog as soon as he woke up.

Lucas, in his dreams, had become a dog who was giving a speech to other fellow dogs by barking and abruptly woke up. As the transition was sudden, so was the bark.

"Is this a side effect…? Hmm, I need to be careful. Who knows what will I become next time? An ant would be good though. At least I will wake up silently."

Lucas, after harvesting all the DNA, had used up all of his mental energy and was fatigued without having sleep. Hence, he got a mental stroke and slept for a full day.

"Young lord, are you okay? I found you deep in sleep in the lab, so I brought you here."

Lucas started walking out of the room,

"Good job, keep it up."

Lucas was not particularly thick-skinned, but he acted like nothing happened as he was too lazy to explain. He then went ahead to the lab again to continue his 'research.'

Williams, on the other hand, was in a daze. "Keep it up? Does he mean to say this will happen again…? Holy cow!!"

Lucas, after reaching the lab, immediately went into the analyzer machine to analyze his whole body.

After some time, he started comparing his attributes before and after the harvesting process.

After reading the report, Lucas was surprised to see this new analysis.

"Seems like the super watch can only do a surface scan while the more graded a machine, the more details... hmm."

But there were still questions in his mind, so he asked Alpha, "What is this PR and MR?"
