MMB Chapter 335 Huh?
Chapter 335 Huh?
In just ten minutes, Lao Mo acted like a swindler frantically selling health products, pulling out all sorts of bizarre props.
Chen You stood there, looking at the ever-growing pile of "top-grade materials" beneath his feet, feeling nothing at all, and even a little amused.
This amount of money is nothing to him, not even a drop in the ocean.
He wanted to see just how many tricks this cross-eyed old man could pull out today.
"Anything else?" Chen You asked casually.
Old Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting, "That's all for now...that's all for now."
"As long as these materials are arranged according to the principles of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, this egg will definitely hatch!"
Chen You nodded.
He didn't pick up the materials, but instead opened his system inventory.
Splash splash splash splash.
Gold coins, gleaming with a captivating luster, piled up.
Old Mo's breathing stopped instantly.
His cross-eyed eyes miraculously opened at that moment, staring intently at the gold coins on the ground, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.
"Old Mo," Chen You looked down at him, his voice completely calm, "I hate trouble the most."
"You're taking things out one by one, which is too slow."
"Bring me everything you have hidden away that can hatch this thing all at once."
Money is not a problem.
This statement, coupled with the visual impact of the pile of gold coins on the ground, completely shattered Lao Mo's psychological defenses.
Old Mo shuddered, and the way he looked at Chen You completely changed.
This is no ordinary cultivator in the Qi Refining stage; he is clearly a walking God of Wealth, a living Bodhisattva sent by Heaven to save him from poverty!
"Sir! Please wait a moment!"
Old Mo scrambled and stumbled towards the abandoned pond.
He fumbled around on a stone slab at the edge of the pond for a while and pressed a hidden mechanism.
Rumble.
A crack appeared at the bottom of the pond, and a crystal pedestal radiating seven-colored divine light slowly rose up.
The pedestal was covered with extremely intricate ancient runes, and an extremely pure life force emanated from it.
A system notification sounded in Chen You's mind:
[Discovery of a Mythical Wonder (Incomplete): Cradle of Life]
[Effect: Ignores all conditions, forcibly catalyzes and hatches all oviparous/viviparous/energy-based organisms.]
Chen You was stunned.
This sleazy, cross-eyed old man actually has a tool of this caliber hidden away?
Old Mo carefully picked up the grayish-white egg and placed it in the center of the crystal pedestal.
"Master, this 'Cradle of Life' is a divine artifact left over from ancient times. Each time it is activated, it requires an enormous amount of energy."
Old Mo rubbed his hands together, his face full of obsequiousness, "Look at this start-up capital..."
"One hundred thousand, is that enough?" Chen You pointed to the gold coins on the ground.
Foundation building is of paramount importance, let alone 100,000 gold coins.
Even if it were a million gold coins, I believe Director Li and his team would only complain that they were paying too slowly.
"Enough! That's more than enough!"
Old Mo pulled out a dagger from somewhere and slashed his wrist.
Dark red blood dripped onto the crystal pedestal, instantly illuminating the intricate runes.
A seven-colored divine light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire corner of the West Gate Square as if it were daytime.
The grayish-white egg was bathed in divine light, and the grime on its surface began to peel away layer by layer.
On the originally lifeless eggshell, mysterious dark purple patterns appeared.
These patterns flickered like breathing, and a chilling pressure emanated from within the eggshell.
Click!Click!
The crisp sound of shattering echoed through the empty West Gate Square.
Chen You stood three steps away, his right hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of the Jade Emperor Sword.
This oppressive force is terrifying.
That is the true power of the laws that belong to the underworld and the Yellow Springs.
"It's out! It's out!" Old Mo was so excited that he trembled all over. His extremely cross-eyed eyes were fixed on the pedestal, and a trace of drool even dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"Life essence obtained by throwing around 100,000 gold coins! This old man has guarded this dilapidated platform for three thousand years, and finally, I've seen a return on my investment... Bah, I've finally witnessed a miracle!"
boom!
With a final, deafening roar, the entire "Cradle of Life" pedestal suddenly went dark.
All the seven-colored divine light was instantly swallowed up by the creature inside the eggshell.
Immediately afterwards, a visible black shockwave exploded outwards from the eggshell.
The remaining stone pillars around the West Gate Square collapsed one after another under the impact of this shockwave, and the bluestone slabs on the ground shattered inch by inch.
Chen You raised a spiritual energy shield to block the flying sand and stones rushing towards him, his eyes fixed on the center of the shockwave.
Black mist churned, and purple lightning slithered through it like serpents.
A silhouette slowly emerged from the black mist.
Chen You held his breath.
The outline wasn't large, but it exuded an indescribable eeriness.
It appears to have a rounded body, short limbs, and a... flat mouth?
"Could it be the legendary Devouring Nether Beast? Or the Nine Nether Profound Nether Turtle?"
Images of ancient ferocious beasts recorded in countless cultivation classics flashed through Chen You's mind.
He actually spent 100,000 gold coins on this thing, which is equivalent to 100 billion Chinese yuan!
Even if the offspring of a hundred billion is just a pig, it would still be a Marshal Tianpeng capable of overturning the Southern Heavenly Gate!
call--
A gust of cold wind blew by, completely dispersing the black mist that had enveloped the pedestal.
Chen You's eyes widened slightly.
Old Mo's breathing stopped abruptly.
In the center of the shattered eggshell, on the mythical pedestal that had consumed 100,000 gold coins' worth of energy, a creature was crouching.
Its body is covered with bright yellow, fluffy fur.
It has a pair of eyes the size of black beans, clear and foolish.
It has a flat, orange-yellow mouth.
It didn't even have fully grown wings; it only had two small pieces of flesh attached to its sides.
At this moment, it tilted its head, looked at the dumbfounded Lao Mo with its black bean eyes, and then at the expressionless Chen You.
Then, it opened its orange, flat mouth.
"Huh?"
A clear, loud, and down-to-earth quack echoed across the empty square.
Chen You: "..."
Old Mo: "..."
A cold wind blew by, swirling up a few fallen leaves.
Chen You's lips twitched very slowly.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Old Mo, who was still in the posture of raising his hands in preparation for cheering. "Old Mo."
"Yes, yes! Master, what are your orders?" Old Mo shuddered, his legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground.
"I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me." Chen You pointed to the little yellow duck on the pedestal that was scratching itself with its webbed feet.
"This is the Netherworld Guide Beast you spoke of, born at the boundary between life and death, capable of piercing through the mists of the River Styx and leading me to the waters of the Underworld?"
"Quack quack." The little yellow duck quacked twice more, taking wobbly steps.
She lost her footing and tumbled off the crystal pedestal, rolling down to Chen You's feet.
It shook its head and pecked at Chen You's boots with its flat beak.
Old Mo swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his forehead like a waterfall.
His cross-eyed eyes darted around frantically, and his brain exploded with unprecedented processing speed at that moment.
"Sir! Please let me explain!" Old Mo suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Chen You's leg.
"This is called returning to simplicity! The greatest truths are the simplest!"
