Chapter 268: Red Bottomed Horse Monkey, Long Armed Ape Monkey_2
Red Bottomed Horse Monkey, understands Yin and Yang, comprehends human affairs, adept at going in and out, avoids death and prolongs life.
Long Armed Ape Monkey, holds the sun and moon, shrinks thousand mountains, distinguishes fortune and misfortune, manipulates Qiankun.
These abilities… neither of the two King Kongs possess them, so the similarity is pitifully low.
Even so, their combat power has undeniably increased significantly, and the two King Kongs are already quite satisfied.
Especially the leader who was transformed into the Red Bottomed Horse Monkey—having been infused with water attribute cells, it eagerly spends every day soaking in water, living a carefree and joyful life as a Water Monkey.
As for the "Long Armed Ape Monkey" which is the second-in-command, its exceedingly long arms enabled it to revisit the Long-Armed Fist that Brother Monkey once taught it, practicing the boxing technique tirelessly every day.
For this, Qin Shou deliberately consumed a large amount of Cosmic Meteorite Gold to craft a giant black iron stick for it, naming it majestically: Sky Tower!
Three days later, Qin Shou used a potion to break through to the Unbreakable Realm Three Stars. The King Kong finally arrived with a poster in hand, clearly intending to make itself even more formidable and extraordinary.
"Two blossoms..."
Qin Shou muttered as he read the blurred words on the poster, his mouth twitching.
Looking up, there stood the colossal King Kong, as massive as a mountain.
Its size is just slightly smaller than Godzilla—it's undoubtedly a Disaster-level Monster.
How many Synthesis Points would this require?
At least several million to start—possibly up to ten million Synthesis Points. Qin Shou simply couldn't manage it.
So, Qin Shou found an excuse and painfully... fooled King Kong, promising to try mutation again in a few years.
King Kong guards Skull Island, and even as a Synthetic Monster, it couldn't possibly leave with him.
This deal just wasn't worth it, so Qin Shou decided not to take it.
After advancing to Unbreakable Realm Three Stars, Qin Shou's leg strength reached Unbreakable Realm Four Stars. His body's power skyrocketed, and the remaining Synthesis Points were used to strengthen a host of Synthetic Monsters.
The greedy snake was enhanced to Nightmare Six-star, consuming 680,000 Synthesis Points.
Little Vajra was enhanced to Nightmare Six-star, consuming 690,000 Synthesis Points.
Godzilla was enhanced to Nightmare Six-star, consuming 680,000 Synthesis Points.
Hillbagon...
Then, the Synthesis Points were depleted.
Closing the system interface, Qin Shou sighed and shook his head: "The road to farming Synthesis Points is long and arduous!"
In the following half month, after Godzilla severely injured an unknown monster, it didn't make any further moves, leaving Qin Shou no opportunity to reap any benefits.
However, Brother Monkey arrived from Monster Planet at Skull Island, bringing along condensed Dark Energy Crystals and the Constant Star Energy Crystals that Hundred-Eyed Demon acquired, as well as what the Blue Flame Phoenix carried back.
Dark Energy Crystals, ten pieces.
Constant Star Energy Crystals, three hundred pieces!
Even with Hundred-Eyed Demon guarding the Constant Star Energy Mine, it would be impossible to gather that many Constant Star Energy Crystals in such a short time.
Most of the mine could only yield Earth Core Energy Crystals; Constant Star Energy was incredibly rare, less than one in ten thousand.
These three hundred Constant Star Energy Crystals were all "borrowed" by Hundred-Eyed Demon from her conveniently indulgent brother, Qianlimu, under Brother Monkey's suggestion.
Of course, borrowing without returning—this had always been Qin Shou's principle in life.
If you want me to repay a debt, you'll have to cough up your life first!
With three hundred Constant Star Energy Crystals, it was enough for cultivation at the Unbreakable Realm Three-star Stage; for now, the synthesis of the Blue Flame Phoenix was postponed due to insufficient Synthesis Points.
...
Ten days later, under Qin Shou's persuasion, the King Kong couple begrudgingly agreed to let their other two Little Vajras go "adventuring" with Qin Shou.
They had no choice, really—a son grows up and can't always follow the father.
This brought the Four Monkeys in Chaos together!
It was about time to return to Dragon Island and take command of the Mechanical Army.
...
At the center of Dragon Island.
Galatron stood still on the ground. Nearby, Qin Shou raised his hand and glanced at the time on his communicator, his brows furrowing.
"Half a day has passed, why hasn't the Principal arrived yet?"
Muttering under his breath, Qin Shou sensed a ripple of space behind him. Exhausted and dust-covered, Qin Long slowly appeared.
"You brat, it's only been half a day, and you can't even wait that long?"
Turning around, Qin Shou noticed the bloodstains on Qin Long's hem and his expression shifted.
"Principal, what happened to you…?"
"I'm fine. The intergalactic war has been delayed, but as the Principal, I had to personally suppress those pesky troublemakers."
Waving casually, Qin Long downplayed his injuries, though the fatigue on his face was evident.
"I don't have much time now. Quickly tell me the current situation."
Qin Shou first explained about the artificial intelligent life in the dimension space, then pointed to Galatron.
"Principal, this is my Mechanical Beast. You'll need to enter it and pretend to be a captured human. This way, we should be able to successfully infiltrate the dimension space without spooking the artificial intelligent life forms."
Qin Long didn't show any surprise at the emergence of AI lifeforms, as if he had long expected it.
"Hmm, very good. Once I wipe them out in one stroke, consider yourself credited."
"Thank you, Principal."
"Alright, let's go!"
"Principal, after you..."
Galatron's eyes emitted a piercing red light, enveloping the two of them and drawing them inside.
...
Inside Galatron, within the mechanical crevices, the two of them used a virtual screen to view the footage being transmitted by Galatron.
Galatron moved eastward, encountering mechanical monsters along the way who dared not obstruct it.
The population of artificial intelligent lifeforms within the dimension space wasn't high, and as one of them, Galatron naturally held supreme status.
Seeing this, Qin Long's weathered face revealed a trace of astonishment.
"Student Qin Shou, I'll admit, sending you to Dragon Island was a gamble on my part.
Back at the Giant God Race's territory, you must've planned to use your Giantization talent to infiltrate their ranks.
I didn't expect that here on Dragon Island, you'd also have a method to infiltrate the dimension space. Seems like I bet right."
Qin Shou: "…"
So my self-confidence back then was just a product of someone's gamble...
...
The two chatted idly along the way, and after some exchange, Qin Shou realized Qin Long's life experiences were far more legendary than he'd imagined.
The predecessor of Dragon Island, Jurassic Park, was submerged by a volcanic eruption, causing its prehistoric dinosaurs to scatter across the world. Qin Long's parents were among the first victims.
After a Core Energy outbreak, these dinosaurs mutated and gained immense power. Standard thermal weapons proved ineffective against them. Qin Long, who joined the army seeking vengeance, stumbled upon a chance to begin researching nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy—the world's strongest weapon, capable of wiping out these frightening mutated creatures!
But soon, the returning Pioneers and Kid Star People initiated their invasion of Earth, bringing massive Kaiju along with them, mutating Earth's native beasts into monsters and plunging the human world into extreme peril.
This was when the Titan Giant Beast awakened, and King of Monsters Godzilla appeared once more in the human world. Fiercely battling the Kaiju, it suppressed countless monsters. With a single Atomic Breath, it dominated Earth, giving humanity a bit of breathing space.
Afterward, the mysterious Elder Long revealed himself, spreading the Breathing Technique and teaching humans how to cultivate Star Power. Due to Qin Long's outstanding talent, Elder Long chose to personally mentor him.
Not only that, Elder Long introduced the long-lost mecha engineering techniques, leading to the founding of the Mechanical Main City.
Following the increase in human strength, the Breeding Beast System and Beast Ability System emerged.
Back then, having undergone countless battles, Qin Long ascended to the Unbreakable Realm in just ten years, becoming one of humanity's first Unbreakable Realm experts while earning the position of Principal of the Beast Cultivation Main City.
However, being the Principal wasn't easy. As one of Earth's supreme figures below Elder Long, Qin Long fought tooth and nail during the Galaxy Alliance's attempted invasion of Earth. He almost died in outer space.
If Elder Long hadn't stepped in again, Earth's reversal wouldn't have succeeded, nor would they have infiltrated the Galaxy Alliance's network and settled on Monster Planet.
Over a century had passed. Qin Long, as expected, broke through to the Demigod Realm during a fierce battle against extraterrestrial monsters, becoming the first Demigod Planet-class expert outside Elder Long.
From then on, Elder Long retired, entrusting Qin Long with Earth's affairs.
Quietly listening to Qin Long's recollections, Qin Shou's mind brought forth the image of Elder Long's aged visage.
In a certain sense, Qin Long's frequent breakthroughs during battle and mysterious Elder Long's guidance mirrored the classic relationship between a novel's protagonist and the wise old System mentor.
As for Elder Long's true identity, no one knew. Qin Long himself speculated that Elder Long came from the Old Era of the 21st century...
"Hey, Principal, we've arrived!"
At that moment, Qin Shou pointed to the gigantic Heavenly Pit at the center of the Mechanical Ruins City visible on screen, his expression tinged with excitement.
He had only recently witnessed a Disaster-level Monster's earth-shattering battle and now had the chance to see the invincible prowess of a Demigod expert.
Becoming Earth's strongest man—there's still a long road ahead...
