My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 57: Sleep Demon Spider

"Do you have any physique-enhancing, elemental-type Transcendent Materials? Preferably Elite Rank."
Lu Yu didn't ask about Mind Type-related Skill Learning Machines or materials, as he didn't want to humiliate himself.
As for Space Fragments…
He had just glanced at them; a fist-sized piece cost a million.
Not even a dog would buy that.
I'll go chew on them in The Void myself in the future!
Don't bully a middle-aged man for being poor!
"Hello, sir. Of course, we have what you're looking for!"
The Saleswoman wore a professional smile, which brightened considerably after seeing Lu Yu's age and handsome features.
He started by asking for Elite Rank materials. As long as she served him well, today's sales target was secure!
She enthusiastically introduced, "For physique enhancement, we have the vocal cords of the Thunder Roar Tiger, a unique race from Blood Thunder City with a Racial Potential of Peak Elite.
It possesses the special Mid-tier Racial Skill 【Thunder Roar】. Although this is a sound-wave skill, it doesn't cause direct damage.
Instead, it strengthens tendons, bones, and flesh by vibrating the skeleton to produce a thunderous roar, allowing its physique to rival that of a Commander Rank pet beast.
"Therefore, their physical strength is extremely high; ordinary cold weapons can't even cut through their fur, and a single slap can break a tree that takes three people to encircle. When made into a Magic Potion and consumed, it can simulate the thunderous roar within the body, strengthening a Servant Rank pet beast's physique to the Elite Rank."
The sales assistant was used to customers buying materials for special needs.
This was because materials were essentially the precipitated Spirituality of Transcendent Creatures, containing their traits, which could be extracted by potion masters to create special Magic Potions.
For example, the Thunder Roar Tiger's Vocal Cords could be made into a special 【Thunder Roar Body Tempering Magic Potion】.
After consumption, it could temporarily simulate the Thunder Roar Tiger's Spirituality, producing a thunderous roar within the body to strengthen one's physique, making it a one-time-use item.
It would take several uses to achieve less than half the effect of the actual Thunder Roar skill.
However, Lu Yu possessed the power of Secret Food, allowing him to extract the material's essence and achieve the miracle of permanent reinforcement. He could even unlock more wondrous effects as its Proficiency increased.
Lu Yu was a bit tempted after hearing this and asked curiously:
"What about the price?"
"Sir, you have excellent taste. This is a unique race from another Domain and is quite rare.
You can take it home today for just seven hundred thousand!" the Sales Assistant Miss replied with a smile.
Lu Yu gave a slight smile and, as if struck with amnesia, calmly changed the subject:
"Are there any others?"
"Of course!"
The Sales Assistant Miss's smile didn't waver.
In the adult world, there was no room for awkwardness. If one didn't work, she'd just recommend the next.
Making a sale was all that mattered. She continued:
"This is a special material from Weather Valley.
Weather Valley is a peculiar Ecological Mystic Realm that combines several special weather phenomena like storms, thunderstorms, and heavy rain. In its thunderstorm region, there's an Insect-type Pet Beast called the Thunder Pattern Longhorn Beetle, with a Racial Potential of High-tier Elite.
"It possesses the Mid-tier skill 【Thunder Pattern】, allowing it to devour lightning and temper its body with its power. Over time, special lightning patterns form on its shell.
Thus, its strength can be judged by the number of patterns on its body, making its shell a thunder-element Transcendent Material.
"While strengthening its body, there's a chance to gain the power of the thunder element. It's very suitable for enhancing a pet beast's physique or even helping it comprehend different elements."
Although pet beasts have fixed innate attributes, they can also master other elemental powers through acquired effort, thus giving rise to different Evolution Paths.
Even the most erudite Researcher wouldn't claim to know all the Evolution Paths of a single pet beast.
Who knows, one day a common caterpillar on the street might spin a cocoon and ascend as a dragon.
This was the greatest charm of the Beast Taming World—it held infinite possibilities!
Lu Yu was also very interested. After all, lightning was one of the first objects of worship for ancient humans, representing the authority of Great Nature.
It held an extremely high status, symbolizing ultimate masculinity and yang, as well as the power to dispel evil.
Except in Chinese mythology where powerful figures were a dime a dozen and the Thunder Ministry was just one of the celestial departments, in other mythologies, deities wielding the divine authority of lightning were at least main god-level.
High potential, great power!
Most importantly, it's cool!
Crucially, it was also convenient to use. With the development of modern technology, he could just absorb it from a household socket to increase skill Proficiency.
After maxing out the skill, he could then absorb natural lightning, maximizing efficiency and definitely giving birth to a thunder-element attribute.
Then, he would raise the Spider Silk's Proficiency to Perfect-level, try to fuse it with the element, and weave an electric net!
Once successful, anyone caught in it would be hit with a torrent of lightning.
Even if they didn't die, they'd at least be paralyzed!
And if it was in water…
Electro-fishing isn't illegal in this world!
"The price?"The Saleswoman introduced, "This one is a bit cheaper. It's only three hundred thousand."
The characteristic of Insect-types was their large numbers, and the probability of awakening an elemental attribute was low, so the price was much cheaper.
This time, Lu Yu didn't change the subject and began to think seriously. This reaction made the Saleswoman's smile even brighter.
Serious consideration meant he really needed it!
Lu Yu took note of it and continued to listen to information about other materials.
There was the Stone Armor Mole Cricket, which slowly enhanced its surface hardness by burying itself in the soil!
There was the Ice Curse Fish with its Frost Breath that could freeze lakes!
There was also the Wood Spirit that could woodenize its body to enhance its defense, and so on…
The variety of materials dazzled Lu Yu, making him wish he could just pack them all up and take them home to build the Little Spider into an omnipotent God of War.
It was just a pity…
His wallet was wailing.
In the end, Lu Yu chose three materials.
The Thunder Roar Tiger's Vocal Cords, the Thunder Pattern Longhorn Beetle Shell, and the Sleep Demon Spider Lamp Abdomen.
The first two needed no introduction; among the physique-enhancing materials, they had the best cost-performance ratio.
As for the third…
It was from a spider-type demonic beast that had mastered Sleep Curse Art. Its abdomen could glow like a lamp, and any creature illuminated by it would feel drowsy.
The weak-willed would fall asleep directly, after which they would be dragged away and eaten.
The Sleep Curse Art within it perfectly complemented the Little Spider's dream and illusion abilities, allowing it to forcibly drag opponents into a dreamscape for suppression during battle.
As for the previous Bronze-armored Baboon, its mind was simply too weak, so a simple illusion was enough to put it to sleep. But against stronger enemies, a dedicated curse art was necessary.
Even if it couldn't force them into a dream, the resulting fatigue would affect their reaction speed, creating an opportunity to turn the tables. It was a complementary enhancement to the Little Spider's abilities.
Adding some supplementary ingredients for making the Secret Food and two Magic Potions to replenish spiritual energy.
The total came to about one million two hundred thousand.
The Dark Moon Chamber of Commerce offered a one percent discount for purchases over a million, and rounding down, the total came to one million one hundred eighty-eight thousand.
With the remaining twenty thousand or so, he didn't buy any more spirit-recovering Magic Potions, because that money was for buying snacks for the Hamster.
If it wasn't enough, he would just borrow some from the President!
Although Lu Yu could be a scoundrel at times, he always did his best to keep his promises.
Looking at his instantly shrunken wallet, Lu Yu didn't feel too heartbroken.
After all, it was spent on the Little Spider. Improving its strength would also increase his earning efficiency.
It was a positive cycle, a necessary investment.
But it was a pity that even in a large merchant group like the Dark Moon Chamber of Commerce, no precious material appeared that would make him want to sell everything he owned to get it.
He couldn't help but sigh, "If only there was a skill that let you gain strength just by eating."
Getting stronger by eating—the dream of every lazy dog!
Although it was just an offhand remark, the Sales Assistant Miss looked up after hearing it and said:
"There is!"
