World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!

Chapter 155: A Legendary Beast Appears!

After taking a sip of coffee, he continued, “The strongest family in Gold City are the Trents! They’re known for their cunning and greed. As long as it’s something shady, they’ll hire the exiled Beastmasters to do it..”

“So, no matter what happens, it’s hard to determine the truth. The courts are powerless against them…”

“I suspect that they’re the ones behind the Boosters[1]! After all, the Trent family has been coveting the prosperity of the Holy City for a long time…”

Locke gradually gained a grasp of the situation as Dickens spoke.

If the Boosters were indeed the creation of the Trent family, then their ambitions were too great.

The Booster was capable of replenishing Beastmasters’ mana at a rapid rate. It was extremely tempting!

Be it to win battles, to complete missions, or to obtain stronger Battle Beasts, the Boosters were extremely useful! As such, the Beastmasters would definitely buy them in large quantities.

They needed the Boosters to maintain their mana reserves, after all!

As a result, the Beastmasters would become addicted to the Boosters!

And once they announce that they were out of stock…

The addicted Beastmasters would have no choice but to beg them!

In order to continue consuming them, the Beastmasters would willingly submit to the Trent family!

Moreover, the Boosters were also expensive.

By releasing the Boosters into the market, they would be able to make a killing, while obtaining subordinates that would not betray them!

Just as Dickens had said, the family was really cunning and greedy!

Just then, a few subordinates jogged over and said to Dickens, “Boss! It’s ready!”

“Okay! Let’s begin!”

Following this, Dickens’ men took out walkie-talkies and directed a few trucks in the distance.

Locke looked over.

A few trucks had already stopped at a waste ditch in the distance.

Very quickly, countless Boosters were tossed into the ditch…

“Are you satisfied now, boss?”

Locke nodded with a smile.

…

Upon returning to Dickens’ office on the surface, Locke was sent home via a luxury ride.

His parents had gone out to buy groceries, and thus, Locke had taken the opportunity to summon Lil’ Dragon in his living room.

It immediately pounced on Locke like a clingy cat.

“System! Activate the Yellow Dragon’s second hidden evolution route!”

[ Noted, checking availability of materials… ]

A few seconds later, a golden beam of light enveloped the yellow dragon.

[ Activating the dragon’s hidden evolution route, please wait a moment… ]

“As expected of a dragon, even its evolution is different from other Battle Beasts…” Locke put his hands behind his back and looked up at the beam of light that was increasing in size.

It was then that he realized that he had made a mistake…

The dragon wrapped in golden light was getting bigger and bigger. It was inches away from touching the 3-meter-tall ceiling!

However, there was no way to stop the evolution. Locke could only sigh and think to himself, ‘Sigh… If I ever evolve a dragon again, I should find a spacious place…’

As expected, Locke had paid the “price” for his inexperience.

The moment Lil’ Dragon completed its evolution, the living room’s ceiling was no more, and its head was popping out of Locke’s room!

The moment the light beam faded, the System’s voice rang out.

[ Congratulations, host! The dragon’s hidden evolution has been successfully completed! ]

A golden panel immediately appeared:

[ Battle Beast Name: Pentacolor-rank[2] Gold Dragon[3] ]

[ Battle Beast Grade: Legendary ]

[ Battle Beast Type: Dragon Series ]

[ Battle Beast Attribute: Intelligence ]

[ Dragon Level: Stage 1, Level 5[4]]

[ Battle Beast Talent: Dragon Flames ]

[ Battle Beast Skill: Pseudo Halo, Dragon Blessing ]

[ Pseudo Halo: Pseudo Halo traps its enemies in a ring of light. It is able to detect if the target is lying and inform its master. ]

[ Dragon Blessing: The strength of the Battle Beast that receives the blessing will be greatly increased. ]

[ Talent Description: Dragon Flames are the most basic skill of the dragon race! The higher the dragon’s quality, the higher damage it deals! ]

The first two skills seemed to be support-type skills, and they were exactly what Locke needed.

After all, he already had enough offensive and defensive abilities.

In order to become the strongest Beastmaster, he needed to master any many skills as possible.

Moreover, Locke was also curious to see how powerful Lil’ Dragon’s Dragon Flames were.

Lil’ Dragon bent its body and prostrated in front of Locke, as if it was bowing to its master.

Locke was very excited!

Its golden scales shone like actual gold, and the Gold Dragon’s pupils were like a lump of melted gold. There was also an incense-like smell from its body.

“As expected of a dragon…” Locke touched the Gold Dragon’s broad forehead with his hand.

He then fed it two gold bars that he carried with him into its mouth.

It had swallowed them in a single gulp.

The dragon roared in excitement!

Locke immediately made a shushing gesture.

He did not want anyone to learn of his new Battle Beast.

Left with no other choice, Locke returned Lil’ Dragon into his spatial inventory.

…

Big Beardy and his wife had returned home.

Upon noticing the mess in the living room, Locke’s mother immediately exclaimed, “Oh my God! What happened… Oh my God! What’s wrong with the ceiling? Locke’s room?! Oh no, did a thief break in?!”

The bearded man looked at the grinning Locke, and seemed to understood something.

“Honey! Our son is the strongest Beastmaster in the Holy City. Its normal for things like this to happen, especially if he doesn’t control his strength properly! It’s alright! I’ll get a craftsman to help repair it later! Also… Something smells good!”

Then, he hugged his wife and said, “Honey! It’s not that I want to criticize you, but our position is different now! Can you not make such a fuss? We’ll embarrass Locke if the public sees us acting like this!”

Locke’s mother nodded as if she had understood something. She went forward and held her son’s hand. With a gentle gaze, she told him, “Sigh, I know very little of the world, but as long as you’re safe…”

“Alright! I’ll be careful next time. Don’t worry!”

Locke said that he still had classes in the evening, so he returned to school.

In truth, however, he wanted to test the combat strength of Lil’ Dragon!

After thinking for a while, he returned to Dickens’ training center.

“Boss! Feel free to select your opponents! Everything is free of charge for you!” The current Dickens was rich and magnanimous.

The training center was just a cover. As such, he did not mind even if Locke had demolished it!

Locke looked at the documents on the computer, and his gaze finally stopped on the purple quality, Stage 2, Level 5 Violent Rats.

He assumed that Dragon Flames was an area-of-effect ability, and thus, he chose the Violent Rats as their quantities were the highest within the training center!

[1] Yes, the captives have already revealed the culprits previously. The author has probably forgotten about it.

[2] I’m not sure why its name is different from its actual rank. I might alter its name down the line if its name is indicative of its actual rank, as it should be Legendary-rank instead.

[3] Also, its name is different from what was previously stated. It should be Golden Black Dragon instead, but the author probably forgot?

[4] The author uses different terms here, but I’m going to keep it as Stages and Levels.
