At ho, a one-ter-tall Spider Silk Cage was placed in the center of the Living Room.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Inside were dozens of fist-sized, black-furred rats with red-glowing eyes.
They continuously ramd the cage, gnawing at it with their Purple Fangs and letting out shrill cries.
These were Servant-rank Purple-Fanged Rats.
They liked to live in dark, damp environnts. Originally, they lived in caves and underground, but after the developnt of modern cities, the sewers, with their abundant food and filth, beca their paradise.
They belonged to the bottom of the food chain.
They liked to move in groups.
Their dark purple teeth gathered large amounts of Pathogens and Toxins. By biting, they would inject toxins into their enemies, causing them to die violently before they devoured their Flesh and Blood.
If they could cultivate low-tier transcendent pathogens and toxins, their own flesh and blood would be twisted, triggering a Virus Evolution. They would then turn into the Elite-rank Plague Virus Rats seen previously in the Sewer, and a step further could even lead them to beco a Commander-rank or even Morning Star-rank Rat Matron Priest.
Due to their dark nature, their love for contaminating water sources, and spreading pathogens, they were listed by the Alliance as one of the Dark Pest Beasts. The Alliance would periodically conduct a 'Sweep Black' operation, which was as famous as the Cult of Dusk's 'Crackdown'.
It is everyone's responsibility to combat pest beasts.
However, although these things were nurous and weak, since they were within the borders of Great Abyss City, he couldn't use Slave Beasts like the Flicker Spider, or else he'd easily be flagged by the Myriad Beast Tower of the Starry Host.
So, Lu Yu had dispatched the top-tier assassin—Little Mouse—to go to the Sewer and capture them.
Since hamsters and rats weren't the sa species, it couldn't be called being a Rat Traitor.
It was just that after coming back, Little Mouse kept feeling that its whole body stank. It had to take three consecutive baths to get rid of the sll.
The only regrettable thing was…
The fur that had been dyed by the Yellow Springs was still yellowish and couldn't be washed off.
It had directly beco a Yellow-skinned Rat!
It would take so ti to return to its previous appearance.
Fortunately, its good looks were still high, otherwise Little Mouse would have beco depressed. But it also affected its appetite; it could only eat three bowls of rice, five bags of Potato Chips, two Puddings, and so Small Snacks a day.
The purpose of these rats was, of course, not to set Little Mouse up with the Vagrant Series. They weren't even qualified to be Slave Beasts.
As for the purpose…
"Ying!"
Little Spider reached out and clenched its fist in the air. The Spider Silk Cage suddenly erupted with a terrifying Overwhelming Pressure, as if a Primordial Fierce Beast had descended, scaring the group of Purple-Fanged Rats into prostrating on the ground, shivering.
The weaker a creature was, the stronger its fear of a Higher Lifeform. They would even proactively submit, becoming its food and servants.
'The Intimidation effect can now be preserved on the Spider Silk for a long ti.'
Lu Yu thought to himself as he watched this scene.
After reaching 【Transcendent】, the Spider Silk could even retain Little Spider's pressure, creating an effect of "As If We Ourselves Have Arrived."
This ability was generally only possessed by Pet Beasts above the Overlord Rank.
Their Scales, urine, and so on would contain a condensed and lingering aura that would intimidate other Demonic Beasts, marking out a territory.
The residual power of experts close to a Great Existence, even after being washed away by countless years, would still possess the mighty power to change the world.
In essence, it was the condensation of Spiritual Power, which would eventually even give birth to an Immortal Trait.
Therefore, any armor made from Little Spider's silk now would co with an Intimidation Skill, assailing the opponent's Spiritual Will.
This point alone surpassed most Mid-tier Transcendent Items.
"However, this is just an added effect.
The real improvent is…"
As Lu Yu's voice fell, a large amount of Spider Silk spread out from behind Little Spider. It was even more slender than its previous 【Pinnacle of Perfection】 quality.
It tore through the air and directly pierced through these Purple-Fanged Rats.
Crack! Crack!
The bodies of all the rats began to change.
Their original Flesh and Blood began to transform into black Spider Silk, intertwining together to form a Spider Silk Giant Python that exuded a powerful aura. As if it had a spirit of its own, it prostrated itself by Little Spider's side.
After the Spider Silk skill entered 【Transcendent】, besides its toughness and hardness increasing several tis, allowing it to easily cut through Transcendent Tools, a flesh-and-blood body was no different from tofu in front of it.
In addition, its Corrosion ability had also significantly improved, from only being able to corrode inorganic matter to being able to corrode even lifeforms.
It could convert Flesh and Blood into special black Spider Silk. If it encountered an opponent from the Beast King System, it could completely turn their Slave Beasts into a Spider Silk Torrent to strengthen itself.
A true Beast King System Killer!
Moreover, Little Spider could also wave its hand to summon Slave Beasts and gang up on the Pet Beasts of the War King System.
The Dominator system is the GOAT!
"Although the proficiency level of the Spider Silk skill has reached the top, Little Spider also said that the Spider Silk skill still has the potential for improvent.
If it can go a step further as its strength increases and corrode concepts like The Void, Elents, and so on, that would be terrifying. Turning a Small World into a Spider Nest with a single thought, but…"
Lu Yu's expression changed from pleasant surprise to strangeness as he muttered:
"Turning flesh-and-blood lifeforms into Spider Silk, corroding the world, and turning it into one Spider Nest after another… How are these abilities becoming more and more like an Evil God or so major Villain…"
"No, my Little Spider is so well-behaved and cute, its abilities are just a little weird.
How could it possibly be an Evil God Whelp!" Lu Yu shook his head, casting aside those strange thoughts.
Little Mouse, at the side, looked at the giant python constructed from black silk threads and fell into deep thought.
The previous Spider Silk was white, it could be used to make White Stockings.
Now that it's black, can't it be used to make Black Stockings?
Sister Spider, and you say you're not lewd?
As expected, having many legs ans you can do whatever you want!
However, Little Mouse didn't dare to say this out loud.
Besides being afraid that the Cultivator would continue to mock it as a Lewd Hamster, it also thought of the mountain of Rat Poison in its Granary.
Although Sister Spider was usually gentle… when it ca to giving Rat Poison, she was not ambiguous at all.
She was so afraid that Little Mouse would have a sliver of a chance to live that she might as well have nailed its coffin lid shut.
So ti ago, she kept looking at it with a strange gaze.
Could it be that she was planning how to kill it?
Little Mouse is scared.jpg!
As for Eggy… it was still sleeping, but its size had grown significantly.
There was hope it could beco a Giant Egg.
Although Little Spider's progress was obvious, Lu Yu was not satisfied.
What was one Transcendent skill? His goal was to have all of its skills reach Transcendent.
Ding ding ding!
Just as Lu Yu was about to continue training, he suddenly noticed a bunch of ssages on his phone.
He took a look and saw it was the buzz caused by the Temple Ruins.
He glanced through them.
Most were joking that he single-handedly caused the price of all Pet Beasts with thread-type skills in the entire Alliance to rise, and many people saw him as a future Product Endorsent Star.
As long as he said the word, a large number of businesses would co waving cash to give him money.
However, Lu Yu had no interest in this. Even if he wanted to ride the wave of popularity, he would publish Evolution Paths and take the Scientific Research Route, rather than getting himself into trouble for a little Petty Profit.
But as he scrolled through the comnts, he also saw many clever people who had already analyzed that the skill Little Spider used to control the tal Ruins was the Special-type 【Spirit Puppet Thread】, not spider thread. Although both were threads, the relationship between the two was like apples and oranges.
One was a physical thread, the other was a Spirit Thread.
【Lu Yu? Just Clowning for Attention!】
【Analyzing Lu Yu's Battle Strategy.
Learn it and easily defeat him!】
【One Hundred Ways to Counter the Spirit Thread…】
So battle "experts" also took the opportunity to engage in so Armchair General-ing, stating that one only needed to activate the Spirit Sight skill to counter this ability of Little Spider's, and began to badmouth Lu Yu, which also attracted a lot of attention and traffic.
Lu Yu just smiled at this.
He even hoped more people would believe this outdated information. After all, Little Spider's 【Spirit Puppet Thread】 had already been upgraded once to beco 【Spirit Puppet Curse Threads】, not to ntion it was now the Super-tier 【Spirit King Curse Threads】.
Its power had undergone a qualitative change by several orders of magnitude.
If these people really followed the so-called template formulas and online guides, only despair would await them.
"I actually rushed to 98th place in the entire Alliance. Looks like I can call myself a Major Influencer now…"
Lu Yu smiled, and after a rough browse, saw that no key information had been leaked in the video, so he didn't bother with it.
Just as he was about to log off, he saw a ssage from his forr Horoom Teacher.
He glanced at it and found that the other party was reminding him not to forget about the College Entrance Exam.
"Ti really flies."
Lu Yu was also startled.
He realized that in less than two months, around the end of September, would be the ti for Beast Taming University admissions.
As long as one was under twenty, they could go and register.
That being said, the requirents and assessnt content varied between different schools.
Although he hadn't decided on his final destination, whether it was the Border Battlefield or Imperial Capital University, it would be nice to spend a few days in the Imperial Capital to see the world.
Besides, even if he got in, it would be fine. University wasn't high school; he could take leave to go out and have fun.
'If there's enough ti, I can also go to the Machine King Domain to find a suitable chanical-type Pet Beast, and enjoy the scenery of the Dark Star Domain along the way. A good work-life balance.
'
Lu Yu replied with a thank you. In order to face the geniuses of the Imperial Capital, he also made up his mind to break through to the Gold Rank as soon as possible and construct his own Spiritual Puzzle.
Right now, he couldn't even crush soone at the Spirituality Transformation Level. If he went out and ran into a Morning Star expert, the chance of being slapped to death was already one in a thousand, which, when rounded, was one hundred percent.
This world is so dangerous!
Fortunately, with the Spiritual Potions purchased from the Dark Moon Chamber of Comrce and the freeloaded Pet Beast Supplents from the Cultivator Association, he had enough to go into seclusion for a while.
Therefore, for the next few days, apart from maintaining eight hours of sleep and bullying the Gluttony Cauldron, Lu Yu spent the rest of his ti in the Nightmare Dream Prison.
It was truly fulfilling!
"Ying!"
"Ying!"
"Ying!"
Little Spider continuously swung its sword. Thunder light flashed, and the force of vibrations swept through the surroundings, creating a small-scale Earthquake with it at the center.
She was wholeheartedly training the two skills 【Thunder Pattern】 and 【Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword】, without forgetting to train her void skills and continue to improve the Dream World.
The Nightmare Dream Prison skill had its pros and cons.
Although it protected Lu Yu from the attacks of Dream-type Pet Beasts, it also ant he couldn't use their corpses as a shortcut to quickly upgrade the Dream World.
Little Spider was also very troubled by this, as she couldn't increase her Master's Inco anymore.
On the contrary, Lu Yu comforted her: "Actually, not all Dream-type Pet Beasts are bad; so are kind-hearted. So in the future, let's find a way to fish for a Big Fish, catch so powerful Nightmares, and use them to Build a wall for the Nightmare Dream Prison."
"Ying?"
Little Spider was stunned for a mont, unable to tell whether her Master was kind… or cruel.
Never mind, whatever Master says is right!
()
After instructing Little Spider, Lu Yu looked at Little Mouse…
Well, this guy wasn't slacking off, but it was still sticking to its path of Making empty promises. As its strength increased, the number of Mouse Clones it could create had increased a bit.
But it was no longer satisfied with just subcontracting tasks. The soul of a Capitalist had further awakened.
"I'm enslaving myself, why should I pay a salary?"
Why not just Re-forge the other Fallen Mouse Clones, erase their mories, and have them work endlessly, completely saving on Potato Chips?
The more Little Mouse thought about it, the more feasible this thod seed. It even put it into action, but the result…
Was a failure.
It never expected that the First Generation Mouse Clones were not only as lazy as Little Mouse, but had also inherited its ability for Self-preservation and danger perception.
When Little Mouse stealthily made a move on one of the First Generation Mouse Clones, the mont it acted, it was surrounded by them.
"I can explain…" As soon as Little Mouse spoke, it saw the triumphant smiles on the corners of the other Mouse Clones' mouths and instantly understood.
"You set up!"
Little Mouse was shocked.
They had deliberately set a trap just to get a hold of its weakness.
One of the Mouse Clones sneered: "You think we don't know what you're like?"
"…"
After the First Generation Mouse Clones surrounded Little Mouse and used the triple threat of "You don't want the Cultivator to know, do you…" as well as a strike, a protest march, and being hung from a lamppost, Little Mouse could only pay a compensation of twenty bags of Potato Chips to end this Farce.
"This guy… is really on the verge of disaster."
Lu Yu held his forehead, speechless.
He never thought that this guy, Little Mouse, could actually fight a battle of wits with itself and even lose.
Disgrace to rats!
However, he didn't expose it, leaving Little Mouse with its last shred of dignity.
Mainly because he was afraid the guy would co crying to him, and its snot and tears would dirty the new clothes Little Spider had woven for him.
However, after being busy for a few days, the Scummy Beast Tar didn't continue to exploit them.
Instead, he took a day off for Team Building and went out for a Scorpion-Tailed Ox Barbecue.
When he saw the bill for over 500,000, he was completely numb.
He felt fortunate that Eggy wasn't awake, otherwise it might have eaten him into Bankruptcy.
He would be crowned the Holy Son of the God of Poverty.
The rest of the ti, Lu Yu road the Mother River, but he didn't know if eting Mr. Krabs had used up all his good luck.
The Mother River was dead silent.
Even when he was zipping around everywhere in his Flying Coffin Lid, he didn't encounter a single person or Aberrant Body.
It seed that unless he jumped into the Prival Spirit Sea to commit suicide, it would be extrely difficult to et another living creature.
Six days passed in a flash, and Lu Yu's gains were substantial.
First, he successfully transford the Silver Spirituality in his Beast Taming Space completely into Mithril Spirituality, digested the Residual Power of the Soul Fruit, and advanced to Peak Silver.
He was only one step away from Gold Spirituality.
Little Spider also brushed up the proficiency of its other skills. 【Thunder Pattern】 and 【Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword】 were also approaching Transcendent.
Little Mouse had also finally stood up. By having a large number of clones work non-stop, it finally raised its 【Shadow Control】 skill to Pinnacle of Perfection, giving birth to a special effect:
【One-tenth of the damage received can be transferred into the shadow.
】
To translate, it was equivalent to adding a damage reduction buff, and as Little Mouse's strength increased, the Damage Reduction effect would beco stronger.
Worthy of being Little Mouse; even its skill effects were related to saving its life.
Truly Extrely Cautious.
Besides the improvent in strength, Lu Yu's Economy also had a historic breakthrough.
Because the Nether Earth Church Incident from a while ago had been settled, five million had been transferred in. In addition, Luo Qingyue's eight million also ca in, bringing his Savings to nearly Twenty Million.
Now, Lu Yu even had the courage to look at Morning Star Rank materials.
That woman had even left a ssage, saying that her Grandfather's Private Stash was indeed good.
She only took a little and it was enough to cover the paynt. When she completely cleaned it out later, she would co to offer Patronage to her assistant, Lu Yu, and have him Suck Up To her.
Lu Yu naturally agreed with such an excellent dream, and replied:
"Rich Woman, so hungry. You Have Good Taste. My greatest skill is Persuasion by Tongue while Armchair General-ing, slurp."
Luo Qingyue was stunned at first, then reacted and replied angrily:
"Scram!"
After sending the ssage, Luo Qingyue was indignant.
Looking at her fingers resting on the Keyboard, she couldn't help but think of Lu Yu's slender, well-defined hands, and a Blush couldn't help but creep onto her face.
"She actually got angry.
Her skin is too thin. There's still a long way to go to be tempered into a Rich Woman!"
Lu Yu sighed, then noticed that the Principal had also sent a ssage.
He originally thought he was going to be called to account, but not only was Luo Zisong not angry, he even sent over a dozen Smiling Emoji Stickers as encouragent.
His only hope was that Lu Yu would work hard and not need to visit him.
He also told him not to co looking for the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird recently, as it was very dangerous.
His words were sincere, which moved Lu Yu deeply.
Even when he was in trouble, the Principal didn't forget to silently help him through Luo Qingyue's hands.
Lu Yu made up his mind.
He thought that when he had ti in the future, he could use his Eye of Truth to study how to turn the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird back into a Five-Grain Bountiful Bird.
To make the Principal's bird better and better.
And farm so favorability points.
As Lu Yu was pondering, he suddenly received a ssage from Zhou Cheng.
He thought it was sothing important, but it was just the other party checking in on him because he hadn't left the house in a long ti.
Moreover, he felt that if this continued, Lu Yu's ntal state would suffer, especially since Lu Yu had a Prior Record of going crazy.
Zhou Cheng didn't believe that the crazier one got, the stronger one beca. A balance between work and rest was The Right Way.
So, as an Elder, he had a responsibility to take him out to relax, definitely not because he was broke and felt a bit Jealous seeing Lu Yu get rich, and wanted to Bask in Reflected Glory.
Lu Yu wasn't interested in this.
After all, going out with an Elder would most likely involve Strolling in the Park or having a al, or maybe listening to an Opera. It was boring as hell, and he'd have to make awkward small talk for half a day… he might as well train at ho.
【Dusk Crow: Uncle Zhou, how about we forget it? I've been busy with things recently.】
【The Handso Zhou with No Friends: Really? The place I'm going this ti is a place irreconcilable with gambling and drugs.
Since you don't want to go, then forget it. Looks like I'll have to go by myself.

【Dusk Crow: !!!】
Five-thousand-word chapter. Got writer's block, need to sort things out.
