Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 42: Talent enhancement!

Although Fengyu asked the panel initially, he knew that with each quantitative increase, there seemed to be an increase in the panel’s functions.

His cores had surpassed 10, so maybe he could see something else?

"Panel, what can my cores be used for?"

[Use 10 Beast Origin Essence Cores to upgrade talent "Fire Spiritual Root", by 1%?]

[Use 10 Beast Origin Essence Cores to upgrade talent "Earth Spiritual Root", by 1%?]

A look of shock appeared on Fengyu’s face as he looked at the notification –

There was something! Truly!

And... it allowed him to upgrade his root talent?!

"Wait, it only says talent and then gives it a name, does this mean I can also upgrade other talents?"

Shocked, he asked again... but no other text appeared.

"No, this was wrong. Looking at it, I can only upgrade my two lowest roots that haven’t even reached the ranks of Mysterious. Does this mean that different stages cost different amounts of cores?

Then it makes sense why my two weakest roots can be upgraded, while the other three roots aren’t shown here.

In the future when I cross 100 or even 1,000, I should try it again.

If I can truly upgrade my talent then... Foundation Building will truly be possible!

A thought appeared in his mind as he looked at the strands – he asked another question but the panel ignored him again.

"Hmm... at 1, the function was to force a beast to maturity. At 10 I first gained the function to awaken an innate power, and at 100 I could fuse them to fill a core.

Even if there is something, it should be at 1,000 or even higher, not possible at the current stage.

Then again, with my current rate, I generate more cores than strands.

A function might appear but whether I could use it is another question..."

Fengyu had already made a choice the moment he saw his cores could be used to increase his talent –

He wouldn’t waste his cores on anyone else...

Just then, he saw Zimu from the corner of his eye, walking around and telling the ducks to go eat and finish the feed of the day.

’Never mind. Zimu saved my life. Although I don’t know what danger there was in that town, it must’ve been enough to kill me.

Zimu not only saved me but helped me from the start.

In the future, if he needs anything, I will definitely give it!

Even if his bloodline is low, with countless cores, I’ll still allow him to become an immortal beast!’

Determination appeared in his eyes for a moment before he relaxed again.

Such matters... they could be left for the future!

Now, it was time to cast spells again!

...

The days passed in quick succession and soon it was a month.

Today, the blue-patterned egg started trembling!

Fengyu sat on the ground with Zimu and the first couple of his field.

He looked at the trembling egg, moving around ever so slightly.

Crack

Crack

The egg started cracking and the duck inside gnawed and pecked on the shell, slowly creating an opening large enough for its head to see the light outside!

It blinked several times quickly, then continued to gnaw and peck at the shell.

Its large feet had difficulties stepping out, but when it did so, it looked at the four people in front and quacked meekly, sounding more like a squirrel than a duck!

"A white expanse in the sky, blue drops falling down, it’s a beautiful spring day," Fengyu whispered as he looked at the duck in front of him.

The duck had beautiful cloud-like soft white feathers, and between the feathers, spots of blue, like rain drops, could be seen falling down.

It truly looked like a living cloud.

[Spring Rain Spiritual Duck, use 126 Beast Origin Essence Cores to upgrade its bloodline to peak-grade first stage? 0/126]

"A high-grade Spiritual Duck bloodline?!" Fengyu looked in shock at the text in front of him.

What?

How is this possible?

High grade – this was several stages beyond what he had seen until now!

How could two low-grade Wild Spiritual Ducks give birth to such a great talent?!

He couldn’t conceal the great shock he was feeling,

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed impossible!

And hearing the name, he could guess that this bloodline wasn’t like Zimu’s.

Zimu’s bloodline... was more like a self-made bloodline, something the panel couldn’t trace back, which is why it didn’t add any suffix for a bloodline, it was only ever ’Mandarin Spiritual Duck’!

Looking at it, it wasn’t like Silver Feather’s name either –

He inspected her name and saw that indeed, it only called her Spiritual Duck.

Later when she awakened the innate ability she might have awakened some ability of a duck bloodline, but clearly, this awakening was restricted to the ability and not the bloodline.

Only this duck directly gained a name, its bloodline extremely pure!

’And only 126 spiritual cores... isn’t this too little?’

He was surprised but didn’t know what to say.

It looked like the bloodline was extremely pure, and the ancestor possibly reached several stages beyond – using the cores here would be expanding the bloodline and not enhancing a new bloodline. Maybe because of that the cost was lower...

Fengyu didn’t know, but the more he looked at it, the more it seemed like a true bloodline inheritance of Spiritual Ducks.

He looked at the first couple and said, "You two, take care of this duckling extremely well! Zimu, this duckling is your junior sister or brother, from now on, take care of it as well as you take care of Silver Feather!

And it will be called... Spring Rain!"

"Quack, your naming sense is so bad, just calling Silver Feather that way because of her appearance, and you are doing the same with Spring Rain too!"

"My naming sense is bad? Hmph, didn’t I name you Zimu? Isn’t this a great name?"

A look of surprise appeared on Zimu.

Yes, his name was so deeply thought, more like how a parent named their child, rather than how you would name a pet...

He looked over to Fengyu who already turned his head.

A thought appeared in Zimu’s mind but he didn’t speak it aloud.

Warmth...
