Picking Up Attributes From Today

Chapter 178: The Tree of Vitality, The Hammer of Destruction

Ever since he’d assimilated the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline, Meng Lei had become awfully picky about his bloodlines. He honestly turned his nose up at most typical bloodlines now!

Be it the Fire Dragon bloodline, the Fire Demon bloodline, or the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline that he’d just assimilated, they were but just white elephants.

If it were possible, he didn’t even want them!

Therefore, Meng Lei held even less interest in the Golden Corpse Bug Emperor bloodline that he’d just picked up.

“Assimilate the metal-elemental Laws of Nature fragment!”

After a split second, a wave of information about metal-elemental magic elements and metal-elemental laws of nature surged into his mind, rapidly boosting Meng Lei’s comprehension of “metal”.

“Metal—sharp and solid, it specializes in slaughter...

“Metal—reserved and austere, it specializes in revolution...”

After a long while, Meng Lei finally exhaled a long breath of pent-up air. His comprehension of metal-elemental laws of nature had obviously moved a whole step up!

“Thank you for your metal-elemental Laws of Nature fragment!”

Meng Lei’s gaze fell onto the Golden Corpse Bug Emperor, and he said, “To thank you, I’ll leave your body in one piece!

“Ice-elemental first-class spell—Absolute Zero!

“Wood-elemental first-class spell—Judgment of Life!”

With two first-class spells tossed out successively, the Golden Corpse Bug Emperor didn’t have the chance to flee at all before it lost its life.

“Ding! 1 Golden Corpse Bug Emperor killed, 11.8 billion gold coins gained!”

When the carcass came falling down, Meng Lei caught it in his hand casually. He couldn’t help but sigh. “If only all Saint Domain Magical Beasts’ carcasses were this small. I wouldn’t need to be troubled over storing it anymore...”

Then, he ordered, “Sacas, look for the next Saint Domain Magical Beast!”

“Yes, Boss!”

The Multi-Armed Behemoth resumed its journey once more. As per usual, Meng Lei also started to take stock of his rewards. He wouldn’t have known just how scary his rewards were had he not done so, but the moment he did, he received a huge shock!

“My Wealth points have increased by so much?”

Meng Lei was rather astonished.

.6 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!

When converted to gold coins, that would amount to 586 billion gold coins!

“How much did I have before this again?

“22.3 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, so that makes it 223 billion gold coins...

“And now... It has become 58.6 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.

“It has increased by a whole 36.3 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!

“Oh my goodness! Why did it suddenly spike that much?

“Wait a minute! Let me calculate this...

“One Golden Corpse Bug is worth ten million gold coins, so ten of them makes it 100 million gold coins.

“36.3 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals is equivalent to 363 billion gold coins. In other words, that’s 36,300 Golden Corpse Bugs?

“36,000 Golden Corpse Bugs? They’re worth that many gold coins?

“Oh my goodness! Hunting Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts is more lucrative than hunting Saint Domain Magical Beasts?”

“...”

It was only after a long time that Meng Lei finally regained his composure.

He understood that it wasn’t so much as Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts were more valuable than Saint Domain Magical Beasts; rather, it was because the number of Golden Corpse Bugs he’d just killed was simply too high!

Every little bit counted when winning through sheer numbers!

That was how he’d gotten the windfall of 363 billion gold coins!

“Little did I imagine that casually killing those Golden Corpse Bugs would actually bring me this much benefits! Looks like hunting pack Magical Beasts is still the most cost-effective when it comes to money-making!”

Meng Lei ordered resolutely, “Sacas, prioritize going to Saint Domain Magical Beasts with a clan! The bigger the clan, the better! And the stronger, the better! Understand?”

“Yes, Boss!”

“Great!”

A satisfied Meng Lei nodded. Then, he looked at his massive Wealth again. 58.6 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals was a huge sum of money. How should he spend them?

His gaze swept across his stats interface. At once, Meng Lei had an idea. He instructed, “System, raise my Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate!”

The system’s icy-cold voice rang out. “Ding! Raising the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline by 1% requires 10 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. May I know whether you’d like to raise it?”

“Yes!”
