Simplified Beast Evolution Path

414 The Abandoned Village
Without any hesitation, Su Bai chose to simplify the skill.

“Simplify it!”

Fortunately, there were plenty of Black Mastiff corpses around. All Qiongqi needed to do was to consume them, and then it would gain the skill.

The skill, Undetectable, sounded amazing. It allowed Qiongqi to hide, even when not in the Beast Space. If Qiongqi combined the skill with the spiritual element, it would become invincible.

Not only that. Even without the spiritual element, just combining the water and earth elements would make Qiongqi nearly invincible.

But now Qiongqi possessed three elements. Su Bai wondered if it could be used all at the same time.

Su Bai realized that the surprises Qiongqi brought were far beyond his expectations. He could not help but feel that the job was a massive windfall. If he had known that, he would not have minded giving them a discount. After all, he had already earned a lot.

Su Bai quickly shifted his attention back to Qiongqi, who was basking in its glory. Su Bai embraced it and said, “Eat the remaining Diamond-level Black Mastiffs.”

Qiongqi nodded repeatedly. It had been fighting for a while, and it was very hungry now.

While thinking about asking Su Bai for something to eat, Qiongqi felt more and more that it had found the right master. Not only could Su Bai sense its strength in advance, but he also made sure it had enough to eat.

Qiongqi devoured the Black Mastiffs one by one. As a cub, it could only eat five of them before feeling full. However, these five Black Mastiffs were enough to make Su Bai taken aback.

‘And this was just a cub. Once Qiongqi reached adulthood, how much would it eat?’ Su Bai thought.

Su Bai sighed as he looked at the surroundings. He thought, ‘Even if we didn’t deal with these corpses, those people behind the scenes would likely do something about it.’

Su Bai stood up and said, “Let’s go back.”

The woman was still in a daze, unable to react even when Su Bai handed her the phone.

The little boy, on the other hand, was gleaming with excitement. He said, “Sir, you’re the most amazing person I’ve ever seen! I want to become a Beastmaster just like you!”

Su Bai smiled and nodded. He said, “You will!”

Then, they drove back to the village. However, instead of going inside, Su Bai left after dropping the woman and child off.

The villagers were surprised to see only the woman and child return.

“Where’s that young man?”

“He has already left. He said you just need to pay the remaining amount.”

Hearing the woman’s words, the village chief regretted not informing Su Bai earlier.

“Oh, we should have told him.”

“This time, he helped us so much. Although we don’t have much money to give him, we can at least give him some medicinal herbs!”

The village chief waved his hand. “Forget it, I’ll leave a message for him on the bounty board later.”
The little boy was full of excitement as he looked at the village chief, “Chief, that man is incredible! He actually defeated over 600 Beasts in such a short time! And his Beast even ate five of them! It ate so much!”

The village chief patted the little boy’s head with a smile and said, “We’ve encountered a great person this time!”

Back at the base, Su Bai did not know that he had been regarded as a generous and kind person by the villagers.

When he returned, Lu Le and the others were still training in the space, while Yan Xuan and the rest were resting.

Yan Xuan seemed to have improved his targeting skills. Although his techniques were still not as good as Olive, it was quite impressive considering how much time he spent conducting experiments.

Su Bai felt that Yan Xuan and Yan Yi were a bit too diligent.

“Boss, how much did we earn from this job?” Yan Xuan asked.

Although Su Bai took the initiative to go on this job, Yan Xuan was still concerned about the base’s first income.

Su Bai sighed, “We earned five hundred bounty coins.”

Yan Xuan had heard of bounty coins before. As each country had its own currency, those who took online orders used bounty coins as a universal conversion.

One bounty coin was equal to three of their currency.

“We only made fifteen hundred. Boss, you are truly a kind-hearted person. If it was Lu Le going out, he might have asked for five to six thousand for the first job,” Yan Xuan said.

Su Bai thought carefully about the amount of work he put in today. Even if Lu Le asked for five or six thousand, he would not hesitate to give it to him. Unfortunately, that village was too poor.

Su Bai pondered and said, “For now, let’s use the base’s name to take orders from the bounty board. Once our reputation spreads, we can directly use the base’s website to take orders.”

Su Bai had thought it through and it was feasible. At the very least, they were not well-known now. Some famous villages or cities would definitely not be willing to use a fledgling organization like them.

Yan Xuan agreed and said, “That sounds feasible. I’ll see if there are any Alchemy-related orders available.”

Alchemy-related orders would be to repair weapons or build them. However, it was a bit inconvenient as it could easily be targeted during transportation. Therefore, those who practiced Alchemy would not collaborate with a fledgling base like theirs. Instead, they would choose Alchemists they were familiar with.

Thinking about it, Su Bai came up with an idea and said, “I know a village. If we can turn that village into something like our base, we can look at the whole world for orders. We won’t have to worry about not finding any.”

Yan Xuan had never been to that village and did not understand what Su Bai was talking about. But he understood Su Bai’s intention.

Su Bai wanted to turn a certain village into an invincible place, and with that, the base would become famous.

Yan Xuan thought about it and said, “Boss, there might be a small problem. Do you think there’s such a village? Nowadays, villages are all under the management of cities, right?”

Even if cities did not have time to manage a village, they would at least communicate with the village first.

“If we act recklessly, we might be blacklisted by the city,” Yan Xuan advised.

Su Bai shook his head. “I got lucky today; I encountered a village that the city didn’t care about. That village has already been abandoned by the city, and the villagers have been ambushed by various Beasts.”

Su Bai even suspected that it was done intentionally.

Yan Xuan looked at Su Bai curiously.

Su Bai sighed and decided to tell Yan Xuan about everything that happened today.

“What? The city basically wants to exterminate the entire village! And those Beasts… Could they have been trained to attack that village?” Yan Xuan asked.
