Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Flame White Horse has already evolved; next, it's time to deduce the evolution of the Mech Apprentice.

However, Little White Spider suggests postponing the evolution deduction for the Mech Apprentice.

"The Mech Apprentice should wait until Gold Rank 9 to evolve. Right now, the Mech Apprentice hasn't even reached Silver Rank, so it's too early for its evolution. Why not give this deduction opportunity to someone else?"

Indeed, it's still early for the Mech Apprentice's evolution. It's estimated that it will take a long time for the Mech Apprentice to advance to Gold Rank 9.

Among all of Li Cunxu's pets, only the Mech Apprentice's growth talent, [Quantum Superposition], provides no assistance to realm improvement. Li Cunxu predicts that the Mech Apprentice will likely be the last one in the team to advance to Silver Rank, and the same will likely be true for Gold Rank.

"Someone else? Who?"

Li Cunxu asked strangely. It seemed that there wasn't any pet in the team that urgently needed to evolve!

Little White Spider said, "Water Slime, Fire Slime, Ice Slime… them.

Isn't it very difficult for the slimes under Little Soft to break through from Black Iron to Bronze? If they evolve, their potential will increase, and the level barrier will no longer exist."

"Ah! That's true."

If the slimes become stronger, naturally, the attribute tax collected will be higher. The more attribute tax, the faster Little Soft grows.

Li Cunxu went to the riverbank, caught a Water Slime, and said to the Crystalline Dragon wrapped around his neck, "Crystalline, deduce the evolutionary form of the Water Slime… the most economical one."

Evolution consumes evolution resources, meaning that each slime evolution requires the consumption of one portion of evolution resources.

Little Soft has so many slimes under its command; the consumption of evolution resources is massive. If evolution resources are also relatively expensive, Li Cunxu really can't afford it.

Crystalline Dragon nodded, indicating understanding, and closed its eyes to sense the most economical evolution for the Water Slime.

Seeing it open its eyes again, Li Cunxu asked, "How many merit points does the deduction require?"

Crystalline Dragon said, "Awoo~ (The slime's body structure is simple, so the deduction consumes very little.)"

"Do you have enough merit points, ten points?"

"Awoo~ (Enough.)"

As soon as the words fell, Crystalline Dragon began to deduce, its eyes becoming vacant.

"Awoo~ (Evolution method for a Three-Star Water Slime: stand with two Water Slimes on the three-way fusion platform, evolve through fusion, and drink Everlasting Congealing Potion after fusion.)"

"The deduced evolution method is actually fusion evolution; that's a bit interesting."

"The resources consumed are only two Water Slimes and a not-so-valuable Everlasting Congealing Potion; indeed, it's very economical."

Li Cunxu immediately placed an order on the Zijing online store, purchasing a three-way fusion platform.

Three-Way Fusion Platform, item, allows three pets to temporarily fuse together.

The three-way fusion platform is very cheap, only requiring three Zijing Dragon Coins. The reason it's so cheap is that the three-way fusion platform is basically useless, whether in arena battles or wild combat, because its fusion effect is very lackluster.

It does fuse three pets together, but the three pets' heads aren't fused together.

One body, three heads, and all three heads can control the body.

The first head wants to move the left foot, the second head wants to move the right foot, and the third head doesn't want to walk. If one body receives three commands simultaneously, how should it operate?

If the strength of the three pets could be improved by fusing together, this shortcoming could be overcome, but there's no such if. The strength of the pets fused by the three-way fusion platform doesn't increase but decreases.

Using the three-way fusion platform requires all three pets to consume a large amount of spirit energy. After fusion, the strength isn't improved.

The strength isn't improved, but a large amount of spirit energy is consumed due to the fusion; isn't that a decrease instead of an increase?

The shortcomings of the three-way fusion platform haven't ended yet; maintaining the fused form also requires consuming a large amount of spirit energy.

Therefore, this three-way fusion platform item only has shortcomings and no advantages.

Selling such a flawed item for three Zijing Dragon Coins is considered particularly expensive.

Why dare he sell it for three Zijing Dragon Coins?

Because the manufacturing cost of the three-way fusion platform is ten Zijing Dragon Coins; selling it for less would be reluctant for the doctor who invented the three-way fusion platform.

If one three-way fusion platform were sold at a loss, it would be sold at a loss, but the problem is that the doctor had two hundred three-way fusion platforms stuck in his hands.

After the three-way fusion platform was invented, after only simple testing, the doctor believed that the three-way fusion platform would be a hit, would become the most popular and sought-after item, and would even change the pet-taming master battle rules, allowing three-on-three (both pet-taming masters simultaneously sending out three pets on the field) to appear in the pet-taming master competition.

Therefore, the doctor poured all his wealth into making two hundred three-way fusion platforms.

The newest novels are first released on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

On the day of sale, two hundred three-way fusion platforms were instantly sold, and scalpers even resold them to others at ten times the price. After people tested the effect of the three-way fusion platform, they blocked the doctor and returned all two hundred three-way fusion platforms at the original price.

"In addition to the three-way fusion platform, I also need to buy some Transparent Rubber Grass seeds. Transparent Rubber Grass seeds can't be purchased online; I also need to go to Pupil City to buy them," Li Cunxu muttered.

Transparent Rubber Grass can produce a glass-like transparent rubber sap, which can be used to make rubber.

Li Cunxu doesn't plant Transparent Rubber Grass to produce rubber but to make the Everlasting Congealing Potion required for the evolution of the Three-Star Water Slime.

Transparent Rubber Grass is the main medicinal material for Everlasting Congealing Potion.

"Ah-choo~"

A gust of cold wind struck, and Li Cunxu sneezed.

The sky, which had been clear and sunny just now, began to hail with rice-sized hailstones. The hailstones fell like a torrential storm. In a short while, a layer of ice covered the ground.

The culprit causing the sudden change in weather was the war of expansion on the mainland coast. The battle of kings there had too large a scope, disturbing the surrounding weather and making it very chaotic.

Sometimes hail, sometimes scorching sun, sometimes heavy rain, sometimes thunderstorms…

In the morning, the temperature was forty degrees Celsius; in the afternoon, it was fifteen degrees Celsius below zero.

The pet-taming master's physique is weaker than the pet's physique. Li Cunxu couldn't bear such fluctuating temperature changes.

Not only could Li Cunxu not bear it, but the foals in the herd with poorer physiques also couldn't bear it.

Li Cunxu went to the grassland to inspect the herd and, seeing the foals' poor condition, said, "Ah-choo~ If they continue to be tortured like this, a batch of foals will definitely die."

"I have to build them a horse shed that can shelter them from the wind and rain and resist the harsh climate."

Li Cunxu summoned a group of slimes to build a horse shed on the grassland.

Little Soft was responsible for cutting down trees. As soon as the Azure Lotus Sword Blade came out, trees fell in patches. The Wisdom Slime was responsible for directing the other slimes, and the other slimes carried the wood to the grassland. The Grass Slime wielded grass blades, cutting the wood into planks, and then, under the direction of the Wisdom Slime, pieced the planks into a horse shed using a simple mortise-and-tenon structure.

Using mortise and tenon wasn't because the Wisdom Slime wanted to show off its skills; it was all because there were no iron nails.
