Chapter 32: Did I Go Too Far? (Seeking Investment and Followers)

"Is this really a brand-new evolution type?!"

Qin Nan pressed down on the Sleepy Duck that had just evolved, examining it from head to toe with a look of disbelief still lingering on her face amid the panicked expression of the Sleepy Duck.

"Gada...o(╥﹏╥)o" (Help...)

Ignoring the struggling Sleepy Duck, Qin Nan casually switched on the energy scanner in her hand and swept it over the creature.

Seeing all these unknowns, Qin Nan fell silent.

Clearly, it wasn't just her forgetting some evolution type of Sleepy Duck; this indeed was a type of evolution that had never appeared before.

"What type of evolutionary material did you use?" Qin Nan suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Su, "Ice type? Or Water type? Or Earth type?

The types Qin Nan listed were the relatively common attributes for water-type pet beasts to evolve into.

However, hearing Qin Nan's words, Lin Su's expression turned slightly strange.

"Nan, look at its eyes."

"Eyes?" Qin Nan blinked, instinctively locking eyes with the pathetic-looking Sleepy Duck she was pressing down.

The next moment, a wave of drowsiness surged over her.

This startled Qin Nan slightly, "Hypnosis?"

"Spirit type?" Qin Nan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Did it evolve using spirit resources?"

She glanced at the Six-sided Rubik's Cube floating beside Lin Su, seemingly having an idea, and quickly let go of the Sleepy Duck, walking briskly to Lin Su's side and gripping his shoulders, "Did you really use the hypnosis skill on Sleepy Duck? What happened? How did it evolve? What's the evolution skill?"

No wonder Qin Nan was so excited; if Sleepy Duck really evolved into a spirit type pet beast, and this method could be replicated in other pet beasts… the implications were too significant.

"Nan, don't be too agitated." Lin Su's reaction was not beyond expectation; he gave a wry smile and quickly spoke, "Well, I might... perhaps... have discovered a brand-new evolutionary skill."

"A brand-new evolutionary skill?" Qin Nan's expression became quite dramatic, "A spirit type?"

"Probably…" Watching Qin Nan's excited demeanor, Lin Su gave a light cough and nodded.

"No, this is too important; I need to confirm it!" Qin Nan turned to look at the Sleepy Duck that had just evolved, and her foot tapped the floor, where light purple patterns swiftly intertwined into an array, and the emperor-ranked Gray Feathered Lion Hawk brought with it a massive energy storm, appearing instantly behind Qin Nan.

Unlike the last time, this Gray Feathered Lion Hawk was much smaller, only about the height of a person, probably because of the use of the Shrinking skill meant for teaching.

If it were in its full form, the entire laboratory simply wouldn't be able to contain it.

As the naturally emitted authority of the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk permeated the laboratory, the previously dazed Sleepy Duck was instantly scared into submission, Qiuqiu let out a low cry and carefully shrank into Lin Su's embrace, and the Six-sided Rubik's Cube spun round and round before finally turning the side with a frightened expression toward the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk.

Seeing this, Qin Nan coughed lightly, "Xiao Yu, restrain your presence; I called you out for a beating."

"Ssiang?!" (A beating?!)

"Mushroom Baby is unsuitable for taking a beating; it's up to you, just an elite-ranked pet beast, you can stand there and take a beating without anything happening."

"Ssiang...(Ծ‸Ծ)" (So love will disappear, right...)

Having negotiated with the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk, Qin Nan quickly looked over to the Sleepy Duck, "Demonstrate all your skills, attack the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk."

"Gada!＼（〇_ｏ）／" (I'll die, duck!)

The Sleepy Duck shook its head without hesitation; facing such a terrifying creature, it was expected to attack?

It wouldn't dare, even if it was lent the courage to do so!

Seeing this, Lin Su quickly stepped forward to soothe the Sleepy Duck and began communicating with it.

He already understood what Qin Nan meant.

As the beast tamer of the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk, she could sync and feel the impact and effects of every skill from Sleepy Duck, and with the emperor-ranked Gray Feathered Lion Hawk, even standing there taking attacks from Sleepy Duck wouldn't result in harm, making it the most appropriate target.

Soon, the Sleepy Duck, having recovered from its initial shock, stood upright, looking sheepishly at the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk standing in front of it, and then spat out a Water Bullet from its mouth.

This Water Bullet was somewhat different from the usual one from the Sleepy Duck; its surface was still the pale blue of water, but it gleamed with a silver light.

The Gray Feathered Lion Hawk did not dodge, allowing the Water Bullet to strike its chest.

The Water Bullet that hit the chest of the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk quickly exploded into a mist, and apart from some damp feathers on its chest, there was no other noticeable effect.

However, the complexion of Qin Nan, who maintained telepathy with the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk, changed slightly; from what the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk relayed, not only did the burst of the Water Bullet generate a certain impact at its chest, but it also caused a bit of mental shock to the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk, giving it a slight sense of dizziness.

Although the dizziness was not significant for an emperor-ranked Gray Feathered Lion Hawk, it was enough for Qin Nan to deduce some things.

"No need to use the Water Bubble skill; aside from the Water Bubble, do you have any other new skills?" Qin Nan quickly spoke up, querying the Sleepy Duck.

"Gada~(＠∇＠)" (Hypnosis~)

The spiral patterns at the bottom of the Sleepy Duck's eyes suddenly brightened, and the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk looking directly into them felt a wave of sleepiness surge up.
