MTLNOVEL Chapter 302 - 0301: The Power of Hatred (Part 1)_1
Chapter 302: Chapter 0301: The Power of Hatred (Part 1)_1
Ye Xiong’s previous name was Ye Jun, so Ye Tongtong always called him by that name.
Ye Tongtong’s mother, Dong Xuan, had someone drug and cause a car accident that involved Ye Jun’s mother. At the Jianghai Group’s jewelry exhibition, Ye Jun struck back fiercely, and ultimately Dong Xuan was sent to prison.
Because of her mistreatment of Ye Yangyang, Ye Tongtong was finally expelled from the Ye Family by Ye Yuandong and disappeared without a trace.
Today, she suddenly appeared here, wielding a knife at Chen Xiao, which was truly baffling.
Chen Xiao didn’t recognize Ye Tongtong, and neither did Phoenix, both of them looking utterly bewildered.
Phoenix was the quicker to react. She instantly made a move and effortlessly snatched the knife from Ye Tongtong, saying coldly, “If you don’t want to die, get out of here now.”
“Ye Jun, I curse you! You will not die well, and you’ll never meet a good end in this life,” Ye Tongtong glared fiercely at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao still didn’t speak, or rather, he didn’t even know what to say.
“Why are you silent now, have you become a dummy, or have you done so many bad things you can’t face me?” Ye Tongtong continued.
“You caused my mother to be imprisoned, and left me homeless. I will never forgive you in this lifetime. Even in death, as a ghost, I will not let you go. Just wait, one day I’ll make you pay a heavy price.”
“You executioner, devil, you shameless scum…”
Ye Tongtong kept cursing under her breath, as if she would not stop until Chen Xiao responded.
“Get lost!” Chen Xiao finally roared.
“What are you yelling for? If you dare, kill me!” Ye Tongtong then turned around and walked away without looking back.
After she left, Chen Xiao said to Phoenix, “Something doesn’t seem right.”
“I think so too. Was she deliberately testing you?” Phoenix asked.
“We’d better be careful. There’s a good chance I’ve been exposed.”
The two of them then walked towards the Ye Family Villa.
Fifty meters away, inside a room of a motel.
A man and a woman stood by the window, peering through a slit in the curtains at the scene that had just unfolded.
Both of them were wearing earpieces that allowed them to hear every word of the exchange between Ye Tongtong, Chen Xiao, and Phoenix without missing a single one.
If Ye Xiong were here, he would certainly recognize the two people as Long Lan and Li Chunpeng, whom he had been desperately trying to catch.
“What do you think?” Li Chunpeng asked.
“This Reaper is definitely a fake.”
Long Lan tossed the earpiece onto the table and said coldly, “Thinking that just because he can disguise himself and use a voice changer, he could fool me? He doesn’t even recognize Ye Tongtong, yet he wants to fool me. If he really knew Ye Tongtong, he would have slapped her the moment she uttered her first insult. The real Reaper doesn’t have the patience of this imposter.”
“What’s your plan?” Li Chunpeng asked.
“Of course, it’s time for a massacre. I’ve waited so long without striking at Ye Yuandong and Ye Yangyang because I wanted to lure these people like Phoenix in and eliminate her too. Now that the Reaper by her side is a fraud, with our strength, killing her will be easy. Then we can eliminate a strong opponent from the Dragon Group and also deprive the real Reaper of an important lieutenant,” Long Lan said with a triumphant smile.
“Then let’s move in tonight and kill them, including Phoenix, cutting off an important piece from Long Zaitian’s board,”
After speaking, the two of them burst into laughter.
Soon after, there was a knock on the door.
Li Chunpeng walked over and opened the door, and standing outside was none other than Ye Tongtong.
“I’ve done what you asked me to do, now you should give me the rest of the money, right?” Ye Tongtong held out her hand.
These two people had found her, given her ten thousand yuan, and asked her to play this role.
Although she didn’t know why they were doing this, ever since she left the Ye Family, Ye Tongtong had also dropped out of school and lost her home. She was now like an unemployed vagrant, completely broke.
Due to the lack of money, all those friends around her left her one after another, and now she did not even have a single friend left.
Even getting a meal had become a problem.
Now someone was willing to pay her twenty thousand yuan to help with a task, and even though she knew Ye Jun was not to be trifled with, in order to eat, she had no choice but to take the risk.
“Go ask Lord Yama for it!” Li Chunpeng reached out his hand, grabbed Ye Tongtong by the neck, and was about to snap it, silencing her forever.
Ye Tongtong’s neck was clutched, her breathing became rapid, and her face flushed crimson.
Her eyes bulged out in fear, and she rolled them back into her head.
Just as she was about to breathe her last, Long Lan suddenly intervened.
“Hold on.”
Li Chunpeng threw Ye Tongtong onto the ground.
Ye Tongtong coughed desperately and it took her quite a while to recover, then she exclaimed in shock, “I hold no grudge against you, why are you doing this to me, you said that after I completed the task, you would give me the other half of the money.”
Long Lan squatted down, looking at her pitiful face and clicked his tongue, “To think that the once proud daughter of the Ye Family has fallen this far, I truly feel sorry for you.”
“Who exactly are you, and how do you know me?” Ye Tongtong’s face turned pale.
“Look at yourself, what do you look like now?” Long Lan looked at her with a pitying gaze, “Your hair is a mess, black and red from not having the money to dye it, right? Your clothes are cheap street stall goods, and even your shoes are worth mere tens of yuan. The Ye Family has been so cruel to you, don’t you want to take revenge?”
“Who are you really?”
“We have been researching Guardian Beast’s evolution routes for two thousand years, and now we have achieved remarkable results. Many Guardian Beasts can be found on the Beastmaster’s Forum for their evolution routes. You can learn how to do it yourself.”
“There are too many types of monsters, and even the mountains, rivers, and plants can evolve. In the spatial gate, there are always a bunch of previously unseen monsters that come out every year. It’s impossible to know about the evolution route of all monsters, but we are always striving.”
“That’s right, even professional Beast Raising Masters dare not say they know all the evolution routes of Guardian Beasts.”
“In any case, human beings have been researching Guardian Beasts for so many years, and there are still quite a few achievements. For many known Guardian Beasts, we have basically found one or two evolution routes.”
“The evolution routes of all Guardian Beasts are closely related to the Beastmaster’s Space. In the Beastmaster’s Space, the probability of Guardian Beasts breaking through the Species Level is higher, and this is the reason why many highly intelligent monsters are now willing to sign a contract with humans.”
“Even if you know one or two evolution routes, it is extremely difficult to help Guardian Beasts evolve to a higher Species Level.”
“Yes, it is relatively easy to increase the Combat Power Level, but the Species Level is really too difficult, and it depends on opportunities, which can only be encountered but not sought.”
The latest reply seemed to be an advertisement, “Do you want to cultivate your own Guardian Beast? Come to our ‘Tricking You Beast Raising Studio!’ Reasonable prices, no deception to children or the elderly!”
“If you provide the materials yourself, it only costs 150,000 union coins to increase the Combat Power Level of a Guardian Beast within Level 5. Our address is… ”
Chen Fan was furious…
You even said “Trick You,” do you think I am an idiot?
However, soon that person sent another message, “The previous one was a typo, it’s ‘Protecting You Beastmaster’s Studio,’ not ‘Tricking You Beast Raising Studio.’ This damn input method…”
“Is it really a problem with the input method?” Chen Fan sneered.
But the price quoted by this “Tricking You Beast Raising Studio” allowed him to roughly understand the current market for “cultivating Guardian Beasts.”
Provide the materials yourself, and for a Guardian Beast within Level 5, it costs 150,000 union coins to increase a Combat Power Level…
Chen Fan opened Qiandu and searched for housing prices in East Sea City.
He found that a 100 square meter house in East Sea City costs around 900,000 union coins.
Inside the city is the most expensive, outside the city is cheaper.
So, including the materials, upgrading a Guardian Beast’s Combat Power Level to Level 5 would cost more than a house in East Sea City’s inner city?
This is simply robbery!
Do Beast-raising Studios make so much money?
Chen Fan suppressed his impulse and after reading through the replies one by one, he entered “Ragdoll Cat Evolution Route” in the forum’s search box.
Several posts by professional Beast Raising Masters immediately appeared…
Awakened Ragdoll Cat Evolution Route: Ragdoll Cat→Bloodthirsty Cat→Star Space Shadow Cat.
Below was a seemingly authenticated “Beast Raising Master’s” evaluation: This is the best evolution route for an Awakened Ragdoll Cat.
Chen Fan couldn’t help but be stunned: “That’s it?”
“The best evolution route?”
Looking at this evolution route, when the Ragdoll Cat evolves to its final form, it becomes a “Star Space Shadow Cat.”
This evolution route is the same as the Ordinary Evolution Path shown in the system.
However, on his system panel, there is also a “Hidden Variant Evolution Path” for Snowy, which is obviously much stronger than the normal evolution path!
Moreover, on the system panel, Snowy’s “Hidden Variant Evolution Path” ends with an ellipsis, obviously indicating that it can break through to even higher levels.
But the Normal Evolution Path stops abruptly at the Star Space Shadow Cat.
…
Chen Fan then entered “Wild Savage Ape Evolution Route” in the forum search box.
Wild Savage Ape Evolution Route: Wild Savage Ape→Stone-skinned Demon Ape→Iron-skinned Demon Ape.
As expected…
The ordinary evolution path given by the system is basically consistent with the evolution path searched on the forum.
However, according to the forum’s information, the Wild Savage Ape has only this one evolution path.
But the system also provided a “Hidden Variant Evolution Path,” allowing the Wild Savage Ape to break through to the level of the “Primordial Grey Ape” and above!
The difference between the two evolution paths is huge!
Chen Fan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and ecstasy in his heart once again, and opened two pages, entering “Combat Power Level” and “Species Level” respectively…
Guardian Beast levels are divided into “Combat Power Levels” and “Species Levels.”
[Combat Power Level]: 1-5 (Ordinary), 6-10 (Elite), 11-15 (Leader), 16-20 (War General);
21-25 (Commander), 26-30 (King), 31-35 (Overlord), 36-40 (Emperor), 41-45 (Dominator)…
[Species Level]: Awakened, Extraordinary, Lord, Monarch, Legend, Epic, Myth. Seven Species Levels, each divided into Low, Medium, High.
——————————————
[Combat Power Level]is the strength level of the Guardian Beast, based on Star Power as a reference, and is only a rough estimate of the Guardian Beast’s combat power.
[Species Level]represents the innate advantage and development potential of the Guardian Beasts, determining the upper limit for the Combat Power Level of Guardian Beasts. However, this limit is not unbreakable. Once it’s broken, it’s possible to awaken even more powerful talents and abilities.
The same Combat Power Level only indicates that their Star Power is on the same level, and it does not mean that the actual strength of the Guardian Beasts is exactly the same because the Species Level needs to be taken into consideration.
Ye Tongtong gritted her teeth in fury, for if it were not for Ye Jun, she would not have ended up in such dire straits.
“If it hadn’t been for him, my mother wouldn’t have been jailed, and I wouldn’t be in the plight I am today.”
Long Lan had never seen such hatred in someone’s eyes before.
Sometimes, hatred is the driving force, even stronger than hope in unleashing immense power.
“Do you want to take revenge?”
“Yes!” Ye Tongtong gritted her teeth.
“With your current ability, do you think you can take revenge?” Long Lan mocked.
At this, Ye Tongtong’s expression turned dim.
Yes, with her current ability, how could she possibly challenge Ye Jun?
Ye Jun held power, influence, and knew martial arts, and for her to confront him now would be like a moth to the flame.
Long Lan took out a piece of paper with a phone number on it from his pocket and handed it to her.
“If you really want to take revenge, call this number and tell them that Long Lan sent you, they will know how to arrange things for you. But I warn you, the price of revenge can be very steep, perhaps even costing your body,” Long Lan said.
Ye Tongtong took the phone number hesitantly, looking confused and asked, “Who are you really, and why are you helping me? Who does this phone number belong to?”
“You needn’t ask anything. All you need to know is that Ye Jun is also my enemy, that the person with this number can bring you boundless strength, and might even help you defeat Ye Jun. That’s all you need to know,” said Long Lan, waving his hand dismissively, “You can go now, we still have business to settle. Chun Peng, give her the rest of the money.”
Li Chunpeng gave her ten thousand yuan, and after taking the money, Ye Tongtong left the room.
