Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle-Chapter 287: Cosmic Level Order Origin! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Cosmic Level Order Origin! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
Of course, their realms weren’t high now, so they couldn’t unleash the true power of this template.
Yun Bing asked, "You said template upgrading requires gathering resources, but what specific resources?"
"Your template upgrade needed fifty Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, fifty Space Type Rule Fragment Crystals, and fifty Dark Element Rule Fragment Crystals, a total of 150 Fragment Crystals. With these, you could upgrade the template to Mythical Level!" Xiao Ye replied.
Yun Bing clicked her tongue, waved her hand with an embarrassed look, and said, "One hundred and fifty Rule Fragment Crystals? It almost cost me my life to condense just two—how the hell am I supposed to get that many? How many times would I have to die to gather them all?"
"Forget it, I might as well not upgrade!"
"Whether it’s Space Type, Dark Element, or Creation Rule Fragments, getting any of them was a nightmare!"
Xiao Ye had a faint grin on his face, "No worries, I had a way."
Yun Bing’s beautiful eyes lit up, "Really?"
Liu Ya explained, "Really! Xiao Ye could extract the corresponding Rule Fragment Crystals from Attribute Demon Beasts. To get 150 Rule Fragment Crystals, you just had to kill 150 beasts of the right attribute and extract them."
"Sister Yun Bing, getting Rule Fragment Crystals was near impossible for others, but for Xiao Ye, it was a piece of cake!"
Yun Bing was stunned, a little shocked, "Xiao Ye, I really couldn’t figure you out anymore. You were getting more and more like a monster."
Xiao Ye’s face darkened, *Did she mean that as a compliment or an insult?*
Cheng Bingxi said, "Sister Yun Bing, you weren’t even mad? He could get the Fragment Crystals so easily, and last time when you had to condense them yourself in Chaotic Space, it almost cost you your life!"
Yun Bing shook her head, "Why would I be mad? If I hadn’t gone through all of that, I wouldn’t have understood my own feelings. If those near-death moments hadn’t happened, Xiao Ye wouldn’t have agreed to form a contract with me. I should be grateful for those experiences instead."
Upon hearing that, Mu Qingxue admired her inwardly, *Yun Bing really had a big heart.*
Compared to her, she felt a bit petty. She asked, "Xiao Ye, who did you plan to upgrade first?"
"Time Attribute Demon Beasts were hard to find, so my upgrade resources would be tough to gather. If you wanted to upgrade Sister Yun Bing’s template first, I wouldn’t mind."
Xiao Ye scratched his head, "I’d already caught hundreds of Space Type Demon Beasts from the Mu Family Territory, so I could extract those Rule Fragment Crystals anytime. Dark Element ones were common, too. I could just grab a handful in Demon Beast Forest. As for Creation-type, that was a basic attribute—it existed in all Demon Beasts."
"So honestly, getting those 150 Fragment Crystals was super easy. We could upgrade the template anytime!"
Mu Qingxue’s face fell, and she looked at him with a hint of grievance.
*This bastard must’ve been planning for Sister Yun Bing even before forming the contract with me—otherwise, why would he have gone and caught Space Type Demon Beasts so early?*
Yun Bing was so excited, so pumped, that she shot straight up, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s get moving!"
"Uh," Xiao Ye said, a little awkward, "Upgrading the template has side effects, so I needed to let you both know ahead of time."
"Upgrading the template was basically resetting a whole new template—like awakening a new one from scratch. Once the upgrade was done, your realms would drop to zero, all the way back to Tier One Mortal Realm. You’d have to start cultivating all over again!"
That was like a bucket of cold water splashed straight on Yun Bing, instantly killing her excitement.
"Ah, come on..."
"I’d spent fifteen hundred years to barely reach Supreme Nine-Star. If I had to start over, I..." She shook her head hard, her thick black hair swaying like waves.
"I didn’t want to!"
Liu Ya did the math and said, "For a Mythical Level template, it still took at least a year, maybe two or three, to reach Venerable Realm from scratch."
Xiao Ye waved his hand—*He didn’t want to see Yun Bing’s realm reset either. He’d just gotten a Supreme Realm Contractor, and hadn’t even enjoyed it yet, only to see her turn back into a Mortal Realm Contractor? Who’d want that?*
He said, "If Sister Yun Bing didn’t want to, that was fine. Let’s upgrade Xue’Er’s template first."
"Little brat, once you upgraded, your realm would reset. You sure you wanted to upgrade?"
Mu Qingxue hadn’t decided yet and asked, "After the template upgrade, how long would it take for the realm to reach Grandmaster Realm?"
Xiao Ye tapped his finger, "Ten minutes to Grandmaster, two hours to Great Grandmaster, ten hours to Venerable Realm. In total, that’s..."
"One day. Not even a whole day!"
"Thirteen hours would be more than enough!"
Mu Qingxue was shocked, "That broken? I spent two years with all kinds of lucky breaks and treasures, and I only got to the peak of Great Grandmaster Realm."
"I want to upgrade the template!"
Xiao Ye snapped his fingers, "No problem!"
Yun Bing’s face darkened, *Having a high realm wasn’t always a good thing—you got too attached, and it was so hard to let go.*
Yun Bing was a bit jealous of Mu Qingxue. *If only she had just been at Great Grandmaster Realm. Then she wouldn’t be stuck agonizing over this!*
[Task detected: Mission function triggered automatically, please check your mission info]
Xiao Ye blinked and opened the mission panel only he could see.
[Mission: Acquire control of the Emperor Level Bronze Hall, and subdue the Artifact Spirit of the Bronze Hall]
[Reward: Cosmic Level Order Origin]
[Cosmic Level Order Origin description: Can be used to expand the Template Adjuster with new functions, such as the realm retention function for template upgrades]
*Talk about just what he needed when he needed it, the system totally got him!*
Xiao Ye was overjoyed!
The post-upgrade realm retention function—like the name implied—meant the realm wouldn’t get reset!
With the Template Adjuster’s new function, after a template upgrade, Yun Bing’s realm wouldn’t drop. This way, he could have a Supreme Realm Contractor to cuddle every night!
Cuddling a Supreme Realm Contractor was a totally different experience from cuddling a Mortal Realm one.
While Xiao Ye was checking the info panel, Yun Bing had already located where the Time Attribute Demon Beasts could be found.
"Time Attribute Demon Beasts were extremely rare—even rarer than Space Type. Aside from the core area of Demon Beast Forest, only the territories of major super families had them. Normal people wouldn’t dare enter those places. There was one other place you could find them, and that was..."
"Bronze Hall!"
"The Bronze Hall inside the Qin Clan territory of Jinling City Lord’s Mansion—that place had a Time Attribute Demon Beast race. Of course, as for which floor of the Bronze Hall, I really couldn’t say," Yun Bing recalled in detail.
Hearing that, Xiao Ye was stunned, then over the moon!
*He had just been delighted before, and now he was ecstatic—you could tell just how happy and excited he was.*
"Jie jie jie jie!"
He couldn’t help laughing out loud, slapping his thigh, and said, "Awesome!"
"Let’s head to the Bronze Hall and get the upgrade resources for our arrogant little brat."
This trip would not only collect Mu Qingxue’s template upgrade resources, but also let him complete the system mission, expand the Template Adjuster’s function, and prevent Yun Bing’s realm from resetting.
Talk about killing two birds with one stone!
*Was his luck this good because he had a Mythical Talent? Was he just blessed by the universe, favored by the laws themselves?*
