Chapter 33: Begin Evolution

[If the name is not given, the default scientific name will be used.]

“The cobra shall be called Spectacles.”

“The mantis shall be called Sickle.”

“As for the crow, it shall be called the Black Feather.”

[Ding — Congratulations to the host for successfully naming it.]

As Adams successfully named it, the pet’s attributes panel also popped up:

[Spectacles]

Serial Number: 002

Master: Adams

Combat Strength: 30

Evolvable: Whole body organs.

…

[Sickle]

Serial Number: 003

Master: Adams

Combat Strength: 5

Evolvable: Whole body organs

…

[Black Feather]

Serial Number: 004

Master: Adams

Combat Strength: 15

Evolvable: Whole body organs

…

After reading the pets’ attributes panel, Adams poured himself a cup of coffee and lit up a cigarette as usual.

There was another problem.

He bought three pets: Spectacles, Sickle, and Black Feather.

However, Adams only had a few hundred thousand dollars on him now.

“Just the random evolution of the D-rank alone costs ten thousand dollars.”

“If I choose to evolve, the price will double, and that will be twenty thousand dollars!”

“If it is a random evolution of the C-rank, it will be even more terrifying. The starting price will be one hundred thousand dollars.”

“Right now, I can only undergo a dozen or so random D-rank evolutions.”

“Or one random C-rank evolution, plus a few random D-rank evolutions.”

“How should I evolve the best?”

Adams fell into deep thought.

“The reason I bought Spectacles was to increase the venom of Bumblebee.”

“On its own, it won’t be of much help to assassinations.”

“Besides, the poison it carries is enough to poison a person to death.”

“Even if it continues to evolve and make the poison stronger, it won’t be of much use.”

“After all, the poison that can poison a person to death once isn’t much different from the poison that can poison a person to death a hundred times.”

Adams continued to ponder.

“Therefore, the evolution of Spectacles can be put aside for now and evolve other animals first.”

Adams made up his mind and looked at Black Feather and Sickle.

“Among them, another powerful assassination method is what I need the most at the moment.”

“And the Sickle’s damage after evolution should be stronger than Black Feather’s.”

“It has a pair of scythes, after all.”

Therefore, in Adams’ mind, the priority of the scythe evolution was higher than Black Feather’s.

“After spending these few days and buying these pets just now, I still have about 180,000 dollars left.”

“But I can’t spend all the money directly. I have to keep some for living expenses.”

Adams thought about it seriously. He poured himself another cup of coffee and lit up a cigarette.

When he sat down again, he had a plan in mind.

“I’ll spend 100,000 dollars to randomly evolve Sickle and Black Feather.”

“Then I’ll randomly evolve Sickle and Black Feather to D-rank based on the situation.”

“I’ll keep around 30,000 dollars for my daily expenses and mission expenses.”

“So, the final result is…”

“A 100,000 USD C-rank random evolution, five 10,000 USD D-rank random evolution.”

Adams drank the coffee in one gulp and summoned Sickle and Black Feather.

“System, I want to evolve!”

The system immediately replied:

[D-rank random evolution: 10,000 USD, evolution of choice: Price doubled!]

[C-rank random evolution: $100,000 USD, evolution of choice: Price doubled!]

[B-rank random evolution: $1,000,000 USD, evolution of choice: Price doubled!]

[A-rank random evolution: $5,000,000 USD, evolution of choice: Price tripled!]

[S-rank random evolution: $10,000,000 USD, evolution of choice: Price tripled!]

[SS-rank random evolution: Requires completion of special mission!]

[SSS-rank random evolution: Requires completion of special mission!]

…

Adams decided to start with the low-level random evolution.

“System, D-rank random evolution for Black Feather!”

[Ding! Deducting $10,000.]

[Ding! System is undergoing evolution for [Black Feather]!]

[Ding! Congratulations host, evolution successful!]

[Ding! [ Black Feather ] D-Grade evolution successful, this time evolving [Organ and Brain]!]

As the system’s voice fell, Black Feather turned its head in a human-like manner, and its small eyes began to emit a light of wisdom.

“Evolved intelligence? It should be pretty good.”

Adams felt that Black Feather had become more closely connected to him, and it became easier for him to command it.

It could also understand his meaning more quickly.

“Let’s continue with the plan.”

Adams took a deep breath and continued to speak to the system:

“System, D-rank random evolution of Black Feather!”

[Ding! Deducting $10,000.]

[Ding! The system is undergoing evolution of [Black Feather]!]

[Ding! Congratulations to host, evolution successful!]

[Ding! [Black Feather] D-Grade evolution successful, this evolution is [Organ-Voice]!]

“Voice?”

Adams repeated this word in confusion. What was the use of this thing?

“Voice?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded. It was 70% similar to Adams’ voice, but it sounded even more hoarse.

“Who is it?”

Adams was startled. He thought someone had sneaked into his house.

“Who is it?”

The voice repeated itself. This time, Adams finally figured out the source of the voice.

It was Black Feather!

Black Feather was imitating his speech?!

A crow could speak like a human?!
