Chapter 35: Battle Between a Biological Creature and a Beast! Legendary Level!

Ten minutes later...

Looking at himself in the mirror, Yuan Pan became filled with distress.

His head was larger than a human fist and his neck was as thick as a human arm. Upon seeing his own reflection, he 'collapsed' to the ground with a lifeless gaze.

It was as if he was a limp... block of plasticine!

Standing at the side looking at Yuan Pan's spiritless expression, An Wen almost burst out in laughter.

Previously, he was shocked when he saw Yuan Pan, thinking that a monster had infiltrated the camp.

However, when Yuan Pan charged, he realized that the monster was actually the grown-up Yuan Pan.

An Wen was utterly bemused at this point in time.

In less than three hours, Yuan Pan had grown from a small tortoise the size of a palm, to a large tortoise that was 45 cm long and 38 cm wide.

He had grown at such a speed that even hormone injections could not parallel.

Furthermore, the grown-up Yuan Pan was unlike regular adult tortoises on Earth.

Yuan Pan was an elongated tortoise, which was the most common tortoise on the market. Its typical full-grown size was slightly above 20 cm in length and about 16 cm in width, with a relatively flat back and a large shell belly. The edges of its shell were flat but thick and sturdy, with no sawtooth shapes. Its four legs were thick and muscular, with its front feet having five claws.

In contrast, Yuan Pan was much larger in size.

Moreover, the shell on his back was protruding upwards like sharp spines, arranged in three rows. The edge of his shell was also sawtooth-shaped.

His four legs were thick and muscular, and sharp claws were growing from each of his feet. Each of his claws was four to five centimeters long and extremely hard and sturdy.

His head had also grown bigger, but there were also two bulges on the sides of his head, although it was still hollow inside.

In addition, An Wen also noticed that Yuan Pan also carried a white dot, just like the buildings.

So he tapped on it.

"Living War Beast: Yuan Pan"

"Level: 0 / 10 (Locked)"

"Species: Elongated Tortoise (Locked)"

"Grade: Legendary (Locked)"

"Attributes: ?? (Locked)"

"Creature Support Ability: ?? (Locked)"

"Creature Weapon Fusion Ability: ?? (Locked)"

"Available Gene Fusion Add-ons Remaining: ?? (Locked)"

"Gene Enhancement Cost: ?? Survival Points (Locked)"

Upon seeing Yuan Pan's statistics on the screen, An Wen was disheartened.

Even a tortoise could be so outstanding.

How amazing!

However, what made An Wen most surprised was the fact that Yuan Pan did not think of himself as outstanding. Instead, as he grew older, he got the feeling that his life was hopeless and meaningless.

After growing older, he was no longer as cute as he was when he was young.

However, he had turned strong and mighty!

You're already an elongated tortoise, what more are you asking for?

"Get up, there's no need to act dead. What did you eat to grow so big? Bring me to see it."

An Wen asked as he tapped Yuan Pan's head with a smile.

He took the opportunity to touch the two little bulges on the sides of its head.

Nope, he did not feel any horns forming. Instead, they felt more like lipomas - inside each, there were small, hard lumps that were slightly springy when pressed down.

Moments later, Yuan Pan began turning his head coldly and shot a glance at An Wen, then started crawling towards the warehouse.

Ever since Yuan Pan 'leveled up', An Wen felt that there seemed to be a telepathic connection between them.

Yuan Pan could understand what he was thinking.

Similarly, he could understand what Yuan Pan was thinking.

As such, while the spiritless Yuan Pan laid on the ground, An Wen could completely understand his feelings.

They then reached the warehouse.

Without explaining, Yuan Pan simply ate a whole fruit.

"Wait... Don't eat them for now. Wait until I send the fruits for laboratory testing before eating them."

An Wen stopped Yuan Pan from eating any more of the fruits.

Although he was quite certain that the fruits were not harmful in any way, he was afraid that Yuan Pan would continue growing bigger.

He could still bring it back to the real world at that juncture.

However, if Yuan Pan grew to more than one meter in length, he could never be seen by other people in the real world ever again.

An elongated tortoise that was more than a meter long would be way beyond the limits of its species.

Even though Yuan Pan was quite big now, he would at most be considered the Yao Ming of elongated tortoises; he had not exceeded the limits of his own species.

Although Yuan Pan still craved eating the fruits, it still remained obediently at the side after listening to An Wen and did not continue eating them.

An Wen then picked up one of the fruits and carefully inspected it.

The fruit was no different from that on Earth - it had an outer layer of skin, a shell, and seeds. Even the color of its flesh matched certain fruits on Earth.

Crack!

An Wen split open the fruit to reveal the flesh inside.

"It's a red dragon fruit."

An Wen muttered to himself when he saw the red-colored flesh of the fruit with numerous black, sesame-like seeds embedded inside.

Nevertheless, regardless of what kind of fruit it was and how beneficial it was, he would certainly not try to eat it.

He would only even consider it after the results of the laboratory tests were released.

There were too many unknowns and dangers in the other world, making it unwise to act recklessly.

Previously, when An Wen finished constructing the city wall and activated the Defense System List, he noticed the defense building Ring of Stars on the list.

However, that level of defense was way beyond An Wen's reach, and he did not give it another thought.

It was completely beyond his imagination that he would run into another such situation when bringing Yuan Pan to the other world that day.

Just have a look at Yuan Pan's data list.

Even though there were many items on the list that were still locked, the tag names of the items already conveyed sufficient information to make An Wen want to devote even more time to unlock them.

Living War Beast?

Gene Add-ons?

Weapon Fusion?

What would one think of, seeing those grand and magnificent names?

Would one still think that it was a survival game?

No, it was a game of life-and-death - one could die from not playing it well.

There were more unknowns and dangers in the game world than An Wen had imagined.

In all seriousness, based on the information he knew thus far, he had truly not walked out of the newcomer's village yet.

There was no way for him to predict what could happen in the future.

As such, the main objective now was to light up all the skill icons and build up the basic infrastructure well.

First constructing strong and tall city walls, then gathering abundant food and resources, and slowly becoming king over time... No, the third step would not be necessary.

Regardless, he could figure out what to do next after the defense buildings filled the camp and the city wall was stacked high.

At that thought, An Wen checked his number of remaining Survival Points.

After saving up for several days, he now had 2.74 billion Survival Points.

He now had sufficient Survival Points to light up all of the skill icons with enough remaining to upgrade more skills immediately.

Tapping Yuan Pan's shell, An Wen stood up and said, "Let's go, accompany me to spend some 'money'."

He did not know whether the attributes of an Elongated Tortoise would enhance his luck.

Regardless, however, he knew that Yuan Pan's luck was already much better than his own.

After all, his luck was... well, that was irrelevant.

Bringing Yuan Pan along, An Wen made his way to the mixed-use complex.

Before he started spending his 'money', An Wen first lit up all of the icons listed in Woodworking Skills.

Sacred War Beast was lit up and activated!

Ancient Flying Eagle was lit up and activated!

Core knowledge of the two ultimate products of Woodworking Skills was infused into his mind.

At this point, all of the skill icons in the Woodworking Skills Tree had been lit, and An Wen had thoroughly mastered all of the skills in the woodworking field.

"There are no more skill icons to light up so I can only proceed with drawing wildcards through fusing."

All of the skill icons that could be lit up using Survival Points had been lit up by An Wen.

Indeed, there were still skill icons that remained which had not been lit up.

However, they were either not allowed to be lit up due to unsatisfied prerequisites, or they were still locked.

In other words, before leaving the newcomer's village, An Wen's ability had reached a maximum.

"Do you wish to spend 2 million Survival Points to fuse the main skills together and enhance the production quality of Ancient Flying Eagle?"

"There is a 99% chance of upgrading the overall performance of Ancient Flying Eagle in this fusion."

"There is a 0.002% chance of upgrading Ancient Flying Eagle to a product of 'Epic' grade."

Upon reading the prompt, An Wen stretched out to touch Yuan Pan's head in an attempt to increase his luck. Then, he selected 'Confirm'.

Whoosh!

A bolt of dull golden light flashed.

"Ancient Flying Eagle: Epic Product…"
