Mu You arched his eyebrows, he had almost forgotten about this box had he not seen it.
Today was already Saturday, in a few more hours, the task for the Elf Horn would expire. Fortunately, Lu Yao was quite diligent. Even though he wasn’t at home today, she had packed things promptly and sent them over.
Mu You opened the forum and glanced at the friends interface. As expected, there was a message from Lu Yao.
"Torchbearer: I noticed you weren’t around, so I left the stuff in your shop."
Mu You also responded to her: "Great, pick up your equipment tomorrow morning."
sunflowers, worth 3 pieces of excellent equipment. The synthesis furnace had recently crafted two pieces, and the third one is still in production. However, he had just confiscated a lot of low-grade equipment from the White Clothed One’s ring today, there was no shortage of excellent equipment. So, he shouldn’t have any problems making the payment.
"OK!" Lu Yao responded quickly.
Mu You rummaged through the box and then opened the game.
Each flower in the box was wrapped in cling film, maintaining their freshness.
However, he wasn’t sure how long these flowers could be preserved, it’s best to complete the task as soon as possible.
He logged onto the game, with his character still on the Ghost Ship.
Mu You quickly handed over the items and then selected ’hand in task’ in the interaction options on the Elf Horn in the game.
[Dark Elf Queen Fred the Exile appears before you.]
[You handed over the box of sunflowers you had collected. Fred inspected it and agreed that you have completed the task.]
[The Dark Queen was very satisfied with the quality of these sunflowers and decided to reward you. She took out ten low-grade demon eggs from her bag and allowed you to choose one.]
"They’re all low-grade demon eggs..."
Mu You frowned, unimpressed.
[These demon eggs look almost identical, but each contains a different demon. Before they hatch, you can’t tell what kind of demon is inside.]
From ten choices, based on the information provided by the Omniscient Crystal from external appearances, it’s ’Low-grade Demon Egg’; it seems the choice is random.
But this was not a problem for Mu You.
If he couldn’t recognize it, then he would just break it open to take a look.
[You chose the first demon egg and immediately smashed it open. From the broken eggshell, you faintly saw a small, flaming red imp slowly dying in a state of weakness. This was a Flame Imp.]
[Flame Imp: A low-grade demon that likes to set itself on fire. It can control fire and has a rather strong attack power, but it also easily injures those who attempt to tame it with its flames.]
Mu You wasn’t too interested in an imp with side effects so he pressed on the pocket watch to rewind.
[You chose the second demon egg and immediately smashed it open... this was a Sneaky Demon.]
[You chose the third demon egg and immediately smashed it open... this was a Hate Spawn.]
[You chose the fourth demon egg and immediately smashed it open... this was a Lesser Dwarf Demon.]
Mu You initially opened all ten demon eggs to take a look, and there were no duplicates. The ten eggs each contained a different type of demon, but they were all mainly meant for combat. However, even the strongest low-grade demon wasn’t that powerful. Mu You had plenty of summoned creatures at his disposal, he didn’t lack a demon fighter.
So, after looking at them all, he was more interested in two demons with supporting abilities.
One was called the ’Terror Demon’, which resembled a floating eyeball. As long as it keeps its eyes open, it will put the surrounding enemies in a state of ’fear’. The weaker a person’s spirits, the deeper their fear, leading to a more significant reduction in various abilities and characteristics.
The other was called ’Hell Walk’, a demon war horse. It’s a heavy mount, lacks combat abilities, and isn’t fast. However, it has an ’ignore terrain’ feature. It can carry people through abysses, demon worlds, undead lands, and other special terrains that are difficult for creatures to traverse.
Between the two, Mu You hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose the war horse as it was more useful. Although the Terror Demon’s ability was unique, after all, it was merely a combat support type. This kind of support, whether it’s more or less, wouldn’t make a significant difference.
Meanwhile, the demon war horse has functional abilities, like traversing special terrains. He might not need it in the short term, but once it’s needed, it would become indispensable.
[As time flows, you eventually choose the seventh demon egg. From the recent time rewind, you already know that it’s a ’Hell Walk’ egg.]
The egg was also a living item and could not be taken out of the game for the time being, so Mu You immediately placed it in a cultivation bag for incubation.
With the elf task submitted, Mu You briefly logged off, put away his phone, and opened the door to the spirit core space inside the shop, then transferred all the creatures he had just brought back from behind the door into the space.
Lin Xue and Little Ya also came to help.
Inside the spirit core space, as soon as the animals saw Little Ya, they all appeared and ran to the centre of the grassy area where they usually receive Evolution Light, ensuring they got a good spot.
The snow-white unicorn, Chocobos whose wings were gradually becoming fuller, mermaids who poked their heads out from the river, and many other small animals and fish, were all eagerly waiting for Little Ya.
And on the other side of the door, the patiently waiting Cola and Little Spider rushed in as soon as the door opened, hurrying to claim a spot.
