Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Change of Apprentice’s Heart, Starting to Hatch the Dragon Egg
[Apprentice’s Heart: Special Skill. It can be upgraded as your professional tier increases. You can spend experience points to randomly gain 0-30 points in attributes, and 0-30 extra health. The more experience you spend, the higher the chance of getting high attribute points. Minimum cost is 1,000,000 experience points.
Also, spending 10 million experience points at once has a very small chance to trigger a hidden attribute boost. Currently, it can increase charm.]
Hidden attribute?
Aiden looked at the changes to Apprentice’s Heart and suddenly felt a bit nervous.
You see, hidden attributes don’t show up on your screen, and they’re almost impossible to change.
For example, the most important hidden attribute—luck—except for some very special items, equipment, or skills, a person’s luck is basically fixed from the moment they’re born.
“Charisma… well, it’s not too bad. Although it doesn’t help much in battle, it can affect how you get along with others, or during negotiations.”
Aiden thought for a moment. The College Testing was coming up soon, and soon after that, he would have to return from The Sovereign City to The White City.
At that time, the people from the Evil Demons Guild would definitely try to kill him.
Before returning to The White City, he needed to push his strength to the limit as much as possible.
So this time, Aiden decided to use all the experience points he had saved up.
As for leveling up, it wasn’t too urgent. After all, he still had the special quest Bane of All Races to finish.
He didn’t want to miss out on a Mythic rare item.
He’d start with 10 million experience points to see what kind of luck he had now.
[You used the special skill Apprentice’s Heart, spent 10 million experience points, and received 20 points in Strength, 80 points in Constitution, 30 points in Spirit, 150 points in Agility, and 700 extra health points.]
20 points in Strength? 80 in Constitution? 30 in Spirit?
“Uh… that’s 10 million experience points, and I only got that much?”
Aiden held back the urge to curse. Except for Agility, which had improved a little, the rest of the stats were barely worth mentioning.
The other attributes were almost the same as before.
His luck really was not good.
“Hey, it’s okay. Once I become the national College Testing top scorer, and get that special item that changes luck—Twin Coin—I can finally get out of this situation.”
Aiden took a deep breath. Whether for better growth or to make Logan, Victor, and others see the truth, he needed to become the national College Testing top scorer!
Again, this time he directly used 100 million experience points. He just didn’t believe he couldn’t trigger the hidden attribute increase!
[You used the special skill Apprentice’s Heart, spent 100 million experience points, and received 300 points in Strength, 400 points in Constitution, 600 points in Spirit, 300 points in Agility, and 3,200 extra health points.]
[Hidden attribute increase triggered, you gained 5 points in charm.]
Aiden saw the result and sighed in relief.
His luck wasn’t great, but he had way too much experience.
With so much experience, even a small chance could trigger something!
Keep going. Spend all of your experience points!
…
A few minutes later, Aiden was lying on his bed, eyes empty, questioning his whole life.
“Did I really get cursed by the goddess of luck?”
Before, in The White City, Aiden had collected over 570 million experience points. He used 70 million, and even though his luck wasn’t great, his total four attributes had reached over 7,000.
This time, when he entered the Abyss, he killed two bosses and a bunch of normal monsters, getting over 700 million experience points.
Combined, he had a total of 1.2 billion experience points.
1.2 billion experience points!
Aiden’s total four attributes had now reached a terrifying 20,000!
That was an increase of over 12,000 points!
But to him, it was completely unacceptable.
When he used Apprentice’s Heart, he once spent 100 million experience points, and Spirit didn’t even go up at all!
That moment made Aiden lose his cool.
“Sure thing, gambling is just a way to fall into the Abyss forever. Now, all my experience points are gone.”
“I won’t use Apprentice’s Heart again until I get an item that can improve my luck.” Aiden said, taking a deep breath.
At least, his total four attributes had gone up to 20,000, and his hidden attribute—charm—had increased by 10 points in total.
Besides the first time, which gave 5 points, every other time he triggered a hidden attribute increase, it was only 1 point.
Aiden walked into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn’t see any big changes.
He shook his head. Maybe the charm attribute only worked on others.
Next, he needed to figure out how to hatch the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon.
Logan had just a Starlight Rank pet and acted so proud. If Aiden could hatch a Mythic-level Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon, what would that be like?
He didn’t know if he could finish hatching it before the College Testing.
As for what Rainn said about needing a huge amount of resources, Aiden wasn’t worried at all.
He had the 10,000x critical hit system, after all!
He had collected a lot of high-level materials from killing Earth Demon, Slaughter Witch, Spider Demon, and the Flame Demon Oslu. The materials were almost too much to carry.
For others, the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon was impossible to raise.
But for Aiden, making the dragon strong enough to devour gods was just a matter of time!
Aiden took out the dragon egg. First, he pulled out some Diamond Rank materials that had dropped from the Earth Demon.
As soon as those materials got close to the egg, it started to vibrate.
Aiden could feel the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg becoming more active, as if it was eager to eat the materials.
He slowly placed the Diamond Rank materials on the surface of the dragon egg.
An unbelievable scene happened. The materials were turning into ashes before Aiden’s eyes, at a speed he could actually see.
In the blink of an eye, all the energy from the materials Aiden had taken out was completely gone.
Then, Aiden checked the information of the Sky-Devouring Radiant Dragon.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
tier: Mythic
Status: Near Death
Hatching Progress: 0%]
“No change? It looks like this amount of material is too little.” Aiden said.
Without hesitation, he took out all the materials that had dropped from the Earth Demon and all the materials from the Slaughter Witch.
Of course, he kept the Slaughter Witch’s essence in his storage space. It had healing effects.
But the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg seemed to sense all the high-level materials. It suddenly became very quiet.
Aiden gently reached out and tapped the surface of the egg.
“Did I scare it?”
“Come on, this is nothing. Eat up, I still have a lot of Epic-grade materials. That should be enough for you.”
The Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg slightly shook, and then started to devour everything wildly.
As the materials in the room turned into ashes one by one, a small, fat paw appeared inside the egg and gave a slight shake.
…
All the materials from the Earth Demon and the Slaughter Witch were completely used up.
And the information on the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg also changed.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
tier: Mythic
Status: Weak
Hatching Progress: 1%]
[Status: Weak
Hatching Progress: 0%]
Aiden’s eye twitched. Was it really just going from near death to weak?
He had killed the Earth Demon and the Slaughter Witch, and both times he got a 1000x critical hit. The amount of materials dropped was so much that it would take someone killing 1000 Earth Demons and 1000 Slaughter Witches to get the same!
“You really can eat a lot. But that’s a good thing. The more you eat, the stronger you get!”
“No problem, I can afford you!”
Aiden said, a little sad as he spoke. He took a deep breath and pulled out the materials he had gotten from killing the Flame Demon Oslu.
The dragon egg, which had recovered a bit, rolled over excitedly and came to Aiden’s feet, gently touching his leg.
Aiden was surprised. Was the egg this smart?
Could it really move on its own just by going from near death to weak?
Only one word could describe it: “Mythic.”
He quickly threw the Epic-grade Demon materials into the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg.
The egg kept shaking as it devoured the energy from the materials, looking very excited.
Before all the materials from the Flame Demon Oslu were used up, the egg suddenly stopped, then touched Aiden’s leg again.
After that, it stayed still, not moving at all.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
tier: Mythic
Status: Healthy (digesting)
Hatching Progress: 1%]
Aiden looked at the information and couldn’t help but laugh a little. It was just full, after all.
“I just wonder if the materials I have on me are enough to fully hatch you.” Aiden said, rubbing his nose.
The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg’s appetite was a little more than he had expected.
But at least the hatching progress had gone from 0% to 1%, which was a good sign.
If not, he could just go back into the Abyss again and kill a few more Abyss Demons.
He put away the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg, which was still digesting, and left the hotel room. It was time to find Luke and start moving.
As soon as he arrived at the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, he met Vespera and Vivi in the first-floor lobby.
Aiden was about to say hello when he saw Vespera and Vivi staring at him without blinking.
Their red lips were slightly open, as if they were looking at something extremely special and beautiful.
Aiden looked around, but there was nothing unusual.
“What’s going on? Why are you looking at me like that?” he asked, taking a step closer to Vespera and Vivi.
Vespera felt her heart beat faster. Her blood rushed quickly, making her face slightly red.
It had only been one day since they last saw each other, but why was Aiden so hard to control now!
