Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 852: Chapter 852 Dragon Vein Chapter 852: Chapter 852 Dragon Vein As Commerce Star platform became increasingly understood, the valuation of various items continued to rise.

The $21 valuation of Xiao Yu had been surpassed by many items during this period, and now, the most expensive item on the top-ranked list had reached $56.

Most items had originally low valuations, largely boosted by rules like the pet price wars.

Only a few items on the list had higher initial prices than Xiao Yu.

Now, the valuations on the ranking list were becoming more and more inaccurate.

Moreover, people were exploiting the rules to manipulate the system for profit.

Catherine was one of the beneficiaries, and her mood had been quite good lately.

By leveraging the undervaluation of the Great Power Heavenly Dragon, Catherine had already won tens of thousands of Commerce Star Coins in pet price wars recently.

When Catherine had the Great Power Heavenly Dragon appraised, it was still in its juvenile stage, and it had already reached a high price of ten Commerce Star Coins.

After the appraisal, Catherine began to cultivate the Great Power Heavenly Dragon, resulting in a surge in its overall strength.

Then, she would fish on the pet price wars with a low asking price.

Those who saw the low valuation and thought they were getting a bargain were ultimately reaped by the Great Power Heavenly Dragon’s wagers.

In order to keep the Great Power Heavenly Dragon’s valuation low, after winning a few times, Catherine would initiate lower-stakes pet price wars.

She let her own pets win these battles, allowing the Great Power Heavenly Dragon to lose.

She would only lose a small handling fee for participating in the price wars, which decreased the valuation of the Great Power Heavenly Dragon.

The universe was vast, and there were too many easy targets—just such a simple trick had made Catherine a good amount of Commerce Star Coins.

Upon seeing someone challenging the Great Power Heavenly Dragon again, Catherine glanced at the pet name and valuation of the challenger’s request.

“Asura Ghost, valued at $21, isn’t this the pet that was ranked first before?” Catherine naturally recognized Asura Ghost and directly rejected the challenge request.

She couldn’t guarantee that the Great Power Heavenly Dragon would definitely win against Asura Ghost.

After all, Asura Ghost was once the top-valued Nirvana Level pet, and she didn’t want to take that risk.

Lin Shen had originally thought that initiating a challenge was a way to make money, only to find out that he could be refused.

With no choice, Lin Shen went on to challenge other pets with wagers, and without exception, was refused by all.

Though Xiao Yu’s ranking wasn’t high now, its fame was too great, and everyone knew that Asura Ghost initially had a high valuation—they would not bother entertaining him.

“How can it be so hard to make money!” Lin Shen was frustrated.

He had thought it would be easy picking, but collecting money was not so simple.

Lin Shen had a thought and knew he definitely couldn’t make money this way.

So, he took out Dragon Hunter Jiweis and had it appraised on the platform.

Dragon Hunter was appraised at $11, which didn’t mean that it had less value than Asura Ghost.

In fact, the general valuation for Base Mutation pets was below five dollars, with none starting above $10.

With Dragon Hunter being appraised at $11 at Base Mutation level, it was evident that its inherent value was extremely high.

After appraisal, Lin Shen gave Dragon Hunter an Ascension Egg, allowing it to achieve evolution from Base Mutation to Ascension.

Lin Shen had been pondering what kind of evolutionary path would be best suited for Jiweis.

The reason he had not allowed Jiweis to evolve was simply because he had not decided which Ascension Egg to use for Jiweis’s evolution.

Although both Jiweis and Death Powder were Super-Base Pets, their Attributes and characteristics were different.

Death Powder had the ability to evolve by devouring anything at will.

Jiweis, however, was different; its innate Attributes and Skills were very specific, and if the choice was poor, its evolution could easily go awry.

That was why Lin Shen was so cautious; he wanted to find the best evolutionary path for Jiweis.

But Jiweis was so unique that he had not found an Ascension Egg suitable for it.

For a while, Lin Shen had considered using a God-making Egg to evolve Jiweis but eventually gave up on the idea.

This time, the Ascension Egg that Lin Shen chose was one he had previously bought in the trade zone on Commerce Star, the one with a mosaic.

He chose this particular Ascension Egg because pets hatched from Ascension Eggs with mosaics were at least Mutant Pets.

That was not the main reason; what truly made Lin Shen decide was the name of the Fire Seed he got from this Ascension Egg: “Dragon Vein.”
“Failed Super-Base Evolutionary Fire Seed—Dragon Vein: Seek dragons and explore veins, intercept the Qi Fortune of Dragon Veins to enhance one’s own fortune.”
Although Lin Shen still did not understand how to use the Dragon Vein Fire Seed, based on the patterns of previous Fire Seed Eggs, he deduced that this Ascension Egg was likely related to the dragon lineage.

Lin Shen was not sure how deep the relationship was; he had hesitated before but now, thinking it over, it seemed there was no better choice.

He would let Jiweis evolve using this Ascension Egg.

Jiweis already had enough energy accumulated, and with the Ascension Egg, it immediately entered an Ascension state.

Lin Shen witnessed a strange scene: countless fresh blood surged out from within Jiweis’s body, turning into strands of blood that wrapped around its body, forming a huge blood cocoon.

The shape of this blood cocoon was a bit odd—not a regular oval but asymmetrical, resembling the shape of a heart.

Lin Shen waited for Jiweis to evolve, planning to make a fortune from its price in the pet market battle.

He originally thought it would take a few days to hatch, but Jiweis’s evolution was much faster than he expected.

After just three to four hours, Jiweis had completed its evolution.

The blood cocoon was gradually absorbed, revealing Jiweis’s true form.

Now, Jiweis had undergone significant changes compared to before.

It donned a blood-red battle suit with a black border, and its hair was snow-white; on its face, it wore a blood-colored crystal mask with the design of a dragon spreading its wings, revealing only the black eyes beneath the mask.

“This is too cool!” Lin Shen looked at Jiweis and thought it resembled a noble warrior from a sci-fi movie.

He hurriedly checked Jiweis’s Attributes: all top-tier 81s, only one rebirth cycle, and the same Innate Skills, which had only grown stronger.

The most crucial aspect was the Life Base.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Shen’s heart skipped a beat.

To his astonishment, Jiweis had two Life Bases; it was a Double Life Base.

“What’s going on?

How did Jiweis evolve into a Double Life Base?” Lin Shen was both shocked and overjoyed but could not figure out how Jiweis had evolved into a Double Life Base when he had clearly only provided one Ascension Egg.
