Everything that had previously seemed like respect and adherence to tradition was merely a facade. He was not the foolish, spoiled rich kid that others thought he was; he could see through the various expressions and tones of the other person.
Xiar's eyes were filled with hostility. "You could have taught me properly, so why did you hide so much from me?"
Although it was just a casual game, he had thoroughly researched every step to better invest in upgrading his totem, Evolution.
Aside from being unable to perform the actions himself, he understood every aspect of the totem creation process. The other party's scanning, Analysis, and construction of the three major runes were correct, but they had overlooked one crucial point—namely, the Rune Factory!
You need to understand that constructing runes only creates the most basic cells.
However, totems originate from real-life organisms, each of which contains billions of cells. These cells then differentiate to form cell groups, which are tissues.
Different types of tissues combine in a specific order to form organs such as kidneys and lungs. These organs connect with each other to create complete systems like digestion and respiration, ultimately forming a complete individual.
To think that one could create a totem by merely constructing runes and generating trillions of cells is unrealistic; even dedicating a lifetime wouldn't yield a single totem!
This requires an essential tool—the Rune Factory—which uses a factory-like mass production model to manufacture cells on a large scale and even link them together to form tissues and organs.
The Rune Factory is an indispensable item for any Spirit Master, capable of reducing the time and effort needed for constructing a totem by 9999...%.
Moreover, once constructed, if the totem sustains damage, it can perform simple repairs on its own and even create molds for directly replicating another identical totem.
The fact that this vital information had not been mentioned at all by the other party clearly indicated that they had no intention of imparting true knowledge!
Xiar sighed, realizing that he would never learn the real knowledge of a Spirit Master from this person. "Or perhaps I can infer that their Rune Factory has long been damaged, and their totems have suffered irreparable injuries. Retreating to Shining Gold Town is merely a way to hide from terrifying enemies."
After teaching him the basics of Mapping and runes, the other party finally revealed their true intentions: it was all about the Source Crystal hidden within their family’s gold mine.
For a Spirit Master in the early stages, Source Crystals are as essential as gasoline is for cars!
Leaving the Source Crystal, the Spirit Master found it impossible to unleash the terrifying Spirit Technique, let alone construct a totem. It was likely this awkward situation that made him hesitant to provoke his family recklessly.
Otherwise, with his full strength at its peak, he could easily force the family to serve him!
"And this is my only chance." Xiar's gaze was icy as thoughts flashed through his mind, but everything hinged on obtaining the first totem.
"Then let me choose a cute totem that can bring a little surprise to my teacher!"
……………………
In the estate.
Xiar stepped down from the carriage and curiously asked, "Hans, do you know if there are any special prey in the Moonlight Forest?"
Hans respectfully lowered his head and replied, "Young Master, the most common prey in the Moonlight Forest includes Deer, Wild Boars, and Forest Wolves. What kind of prey are you looking for?"
Xiar pondered for a moment and said, "I need something very special, with strong toxicity or other unique abilities, like one that can produce deafening sounds or has extreme Agility."
"Such a special creature might be hard to find. The loudest would be the Forest Bear; its roar is quite astonishing." Hans thought for a moment but couldn't come up with anything better. After a brief pause, he suddenly raised his head weakly and said, "Young Master, there is a legendary creature that might meet your requirements."
Xiar immediately became interested.
"According to some hunters, there is a mysterious creature in the Moonlight Forest that only comes out at night to bask in the moonlight. The hunters call it the Moonborn Beast."
"Werewolf?" Xiar's expression turned peculiar; from Hans's description, it sounded remarkably like the werewolves from legends in his past life.
"Werewolf? What is that? Is it a type of wolf?" Hans asked in confusion upon hearing this.
Xiar realized he had gone off track; clearly, this world did not have werewolves. He waved his hand and said, "Just consider it a type of wolf. Continue."
"This creature has silver fur and looks very much like a child, but possesses terrifying power. It can go mad under the moonlight, growing larger and moving as fast as the wind, making it impossible to catch!"
Upon hearing the description, Xiar's eyes lit up. This creature seemed tailor-made for him.
The totem structure of the Insect Type was simple and easy to create, but it didn't possess much offensive power—at most, it could unleash poison powder like the Purple-Winged Butterfly, which wouldn't pose much of a threat to a Spirit Master.
Given the other party's style, they would surely only create a totem for him to ensure he continuously provided Source Crystals and various gems and herbs as Evolution materials.
After all, if you want a horse to run, you must feed it well; everyone knows the carrot-and-stick approach.
This meant he needed to choose a sufficiently powerful totem to forcibly level up for self-preservation.
Xiar directly took out his money pouch and pulled out ten shiny gold coins, each about the size of a fingernail. He smiled and said, "Find a hunter who knows about this legend as quickly as possible, and look for the most experienced one. I must capture this creature!"
Hans looked at the gold coins and swallowed hard, patting his chest in assurance. "Young master, we will definitely get it done!"
In Shining Gold Town, prices were quite cheap; one gold coin was enough for an ordinary family of three to cover their meals for a month. They earned only one gold coin per month.
Given the young master's generosity, it was clear that such a large sum of gold coins was merely a deposit, meaning that once they captured the prey, there would be plenty more rewards!
Hans eagerly headed into town to contact acquaintances. As a local of Shining Gold Town, it made sense for him to seek out his own people first for such good fortune.
Xiar didn't mind this at all; as long as things got done, he was fine with whatever methods were used.
If anyone dared to deceive him, they shouldn't blame him for being rude!
After dinner, Xiar found an excuse to sneak out of the estate. Marcus, upon seeing this, not only did not stop him but instead sent three strong guards to follow and protect him, clearly showing his indulgence.
Once he and Hans arrived at the edge of the forest in the northwest part of the estate, they spotted two burly hunters waiting patiently.
One of them was holding a massive Black Hound, while the other had a hunting falcon perched on his shoulder. Xiar glanced at them and said calmly, "Let's go. Once we catch that prey, you will not be short of your rewards."
The hunters' faces lit up with excitement. Previously, this young master was known for spending money like water, earning a reputation as a spendthrift in Shining Gold Town. Fortunately, due to his young age, he had no record of forcibly taking women, so he wasn't seen as particularly wicked.
As the moon rose, a thin mist began to envelop the entire forest.
The forest remained remarkably primitive, occupying vast mountainous areas. Unfortunately, the soil was somewhat barren, lacking towering trees that could provide shade; most were common low-growing temperate species.
At this moment, Xiar was dressed in hunting gear, with a longsword hanging at his waist and a Hunting Bow slung across his back, along with thirty arrows.
Thanks to the Evolution Modulator's capabilities, he easily learned archery and enhanced his skills to proficiency level with just one Evolution Point spent.
He walked silently at the back while the Hound led the way, sniffing for the scent of prey.
As they walked, a brown shadow darted past them. Xiar quickly drew his bow and arrow from his back and pulled it back with all his strength.
Whoosh!
A dark figure flashed by and struck true, piercing through the neck of a deer and pinning it against a tree!
