Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Pet Evolution, Silver Armored Scorpion!



In the alternate world, to face the world boss, practitioners must first complete world quests.

One of the two quests in the First World is to collect 10 silver coins, which Zhang Yue has already surpassed.

The other task is to kill 1,000 monsters. So far, he's only slain 452.

"Looks like I won't be able to take down the Wild Boar King just yet."

Zhang Yue thought to himself, 'Perfect time to level up my Iron Armored Scorpion.'

With that decision, Zhang Yue headed to the system shop in the town before leaving Doomsday Town.

He spent 40 silver coins to purchase two resurrection scrolls.

Even though Zhang Yue was one of the strongest new practitioners in the First World, unlikely to face any serious threats, it's always wise to be prepared. Life and death are unpredictable in this world, so having a couple of resurrection scrolls on hand to guard against unforeseen circumstances seemed prudent.

Additionally, Zhang Yue spent 36 silver coins on 10 bottles of Level 2 Instant Healing Potions (restoring 200 health instantly) and 30 bottles of Level 2 Instant Mana Potions (restoring 100 mana instantly).

Instant potions restore the same amount as regular ones, but their advantage is that they provide immediate recovery, bypassing the risk of being interrupted during a drawn-out recovery process. Plus, the cooldown is only half that of regular potions—just 30 seconds.

For this reason, the price of instant potions is three times higher than ordinary ones, at 9 copper coins per bottle!

Given the exchange rate of 100 copper coins to a silver coin in the First World, that's about 1.26 silver per bottle. Most practitioners can't afford to use these freely.

But Zhang Yue is different.

He's not just anyone.

With everything ready, Zhang Yue headed straight for the Level 10 monster area—Raging Forest!

Only monsters at Level 10 could meet Zhang Yue's current needs.

On his way to the Raging Forest, Zhang Yue took out the skill book Lesser Ice Spike that he received as a quest reward.

This D-level skill was rather unimpressive.

Zhang Yue immediately spent 1 million Ether to upgrade it to A-level!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Super Ice Spike

Quality: A-level

Effect: Summons an ice spike from beneath the target, dealing 250 magic damage and freezing them for 1 second, interrupting any spellcasting.

Mana Cost: 68

Cooldown: 5 seconds

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

As a control-focused skill, Ice Spike's damage obviously wasn't as high as a Fireball spell.

In this alternate world, practitioners unlock a new skill slot every 3 levels.

Now at Level 8, Zhang Yue had 2 skill slots available, so he immediately learned Super Ice Spike.

In addition to the skill, the quest also rewarded him with a standard-grade pet egg. When Zhang Yue opened it, he obtained a common-grade Venomous Spider.

"That makes five feed pets now," Zhang Yue mused. "Once I finish this kill quest, I should have enough to gather five more. Then, I'll be able to evolve the Iron Armored Scorpion to elite grade!"

Soon enough, Zhang Yue arrived at the Raging Forest.

Without wasting any time, he locked onto a Frenzied Boar and started his assault!

Boom!

A Super Fireball landed squarely on the Frenzied Boar ahead, exploding in a brilliant red burst of damage—

546 points!

Plus, 50 points of frost damage!

Equipped with his 2-star, Level 8 Doombringer: Frost Staff, Zhang Yue's 240 points of magic attack power was far beyond the Frenzied Boar's mere 65 points of magic defense.

Additionally, his Glory Lord's Battle Ring granted him 20 points of armor penetration, effectively reducing the Frenzied Boar's defense to just 45 points.

A single A-level Fireball left the boar, which had a health pool of 720, with only a fifth of its health remaining.

Roar!

The Frenzied Boar bellowed in pain, charging at Zhang Yue despite the continuous burn damage from the Fireball, which dealt 66 points per second.

But it didn't make it far before collapsing, dead from the flames!

[Ding! You have slain a Level 10 Frenzied Boar. Experience +40! Ether +100,000.]

Without even bothering to collect the few copper coins the boar had dropped, Zhang Yue targeted another Frenzied Boar nearby and cast Super Ice Spike.

Whoosh!

A blue ice spike shot up from beneath the boar, piercing through its body.

In an instant, the boar's body was encased in frost, completely frozen!

A critical hit number floated above its head—731 points of damage!

One hit, and it was dead.

After dealing with the two boars, Zhang Yue finally gathered the loot.

He picked up a total of 9 copper coins and then continued hunting boars.

With the help of his golden 2-star staff, Zhang Yue tore through the Raging Forest, slaughtering one Frenzied Boar after another.

All he heard in his ears was:

Experience +40!

Experience +40!

Experience +40!

Before he knew it, it was already noon.

Zhang Yue had lost count of how many boars he'd slain. The vast forest was littered with boar corpses as far as the eye could see!

When Zhang Yue checked the quest interface, he found that he had completed the world quest to kill 1,000 monsters!

At the same time, the experience from all the hunting had leveled Zhang Yue up to Level 10.

The excess experience was used to level up his Iron Armored Scorpion to Level 8.

After all, a Necromancer's pet only requires half the experience of normal practitioners to level up.

At this point, Zhang Yue had also captured his tenth feed pet.

With a total of eleven common-grade pets in his pet space, Zhang Yue clicked the "Evolve" button on the Iron Armored Scorpion's status.

[Ding! Your pet Iron Armored Scorpion has devoured a Frenzied Boar. Evolution progress +1. Current evolution progress: 110.]

[Ding! Your pet Iron Armored Scorpion has devoured an Iron Armored Scorpion. Evolution progress +1. Current evolution progress: 210.]

...

After devouring all ten feed pets—

[Ding! Congratulations, your pet Iron Armored Scorpion has evolved into a Silver Armored Scorpion. Attribute growth improved: Physical Attack +1 star, Physical Defense +2 stars, Magic Defense +2 stars, Health +5 stars, Mana +1 star.]

[Level-up bonuses improved: 10 HP +1 Defense +1 Attribute Point → 15 HP +1 Defense +2 Attribute Points.]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

New skill learned: Thorn Armor.

Elite pet exclusive effect unlocked: Silver Armor Defense (boosts Silver Armored Scorpion's defense by 10 points).

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

To evolve into Rare-grade, it must devour ten Elite-grade pets.

Silver light shone from the Iron Armored Scorpion's body, and in moments, its black carapace evolved into gleaming silver!

Zhang Yue distributed the 8 attribute points he gained from the system into Constitution.

Then, he spent 1 million Ether to upgrade its newly learned Thorn Armor skill from D-grade to A-grade.

[Deadly Counterattack: When the Silver Armored Scorpion takes damage, it reflects 30% of that damage back to the attacker.]

Now, both of Zhang Yue's world quests were completed, and he could open the portal to challenge the world boss anytime.

"However, without any gear, my Silver Armored Scorpion might not be able to withstand the Wild Boar King's attacks in its current state."

As a defense-focused pet, the Silver Armored Scorpion only needed gear in four areas: head, legs, chest, and feet—boosting its defense and health attributes.

For the legs, it had the Ironclad Hero's Guardian Boots.

For the chest, it had Liu Yao's Heroic Guardian Armor.

As luck would have it, while slaughtering boars earlier, Zhang Yue had looted a Level 8, 1-star pair of boots, which he refined using Ether into Gold Frenzied Boar Hide Boots. With these three pieces of equipment ready, Zhang Yue equipped his Silver Armored Scorpion.

He then opened the status interface to take a look.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Silver Armored Scorpion (Lv 8 Elite Pet)

Attack: 2

Physical Defense: 74

Magic Defense: 65

Health: 610

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"These stats should be sufficient now."

With that, Zhang Yue opened the quest interface and clicked the "Challenge World Boss" button under his completed world quests.

Suddenly, a system prompt appeared:

[Ding! The system has detected that you are challenging the world boss without a team. The world boss is incredibly powerful, and practitioners can form teams of up to 1,100 people to tackle it. While soloing the world boss maximizes rewards, the difficulty is extremely high. The system recommends teaming up with others.]

Ignoring the system's suggestion, Zhang Yue resolutely clicked "Challenge" once more.

In the next moment—

Whoosh!

A three-meter-tall purple rift appeared before Zhang Yue.

With his silver armoured scorpion, Zhang Yue stepped into the crack.
