Chapter 4: Abyssal Demon Eye, Skill Secret Food!

The Gold Medal,

Its full name is the Gold Pioneer Medal!

It is a merit badge issued by the Human Alliance, which is under the Supreme Council where Lu Yu is located. It is divided into the Gold Medal, Morning Star Medal, and so on...

There are two ways to obtain the Gold Medal: one is to complete ten Gold Tasks issued by the Alliance, or to be a hero who sacrifices themselves while carrying out an official pioneering task.

Lu Yu falls into the latter category.

His parents, who were semi-official personnel, sacrificed themselves while participating in an official pioneering task, and he received a Gold Medal, which he could also choose to exchange for a huge fortune of equal value.

In a certain sense, he is also a legitimate descendant of the Human Alliance.

The function of the merit badge is quite simple: it can be exchanged for a Gold Spirit, which is a commanding potential tamer! (Human Bronze, Silver, Gold correspond to tamer's servant, elite, and commander)

It is equivalent to the children of the League in Pokémon, who can receive a potential tamer at the age of ten.

Of course, not everyone has this privilege, otherwise there wouldn't be so many bug catchers and cannon fodder opponents.

Of course, these are things that the beautiful and innocent world does not reveal.

The reason Lu Yu did not choose to use the merit badge is not because he has some kind of PTSD, or because he doesn't want to use the relic left by his father for some melodramatic reason.

One reason is that he has been recuperating since his awakening, and using the Gold Medal comes at a cost.

The first is that he must be 18 years old.

The second is that he must have a clean record.

The third is that after receiving it, he must complete five Bronze Tasks issued by the Alliance within one year of advancing to the Bronze stage, two Silver Tasks within three years of advancing to the Silver stage, and one Gold Task after advancing to the Gold Spirit stage.

Each task comes with corresponding rewards and can earn internal points from the Alliance, which can be used to exchange for rare resources.

The conditions are not too stringent.

If he doesn't want to, he can also exchange it for a large sum of money and buy a pet beast himself.

Just this alone, Lu Yu can accept, after all, the first tamer is the foundation of a tamer, and it is particularly important.

But...

This is Dàyuan City!

In terms of infrastructure, military presence, economy, and development, it is a quasi-first-tier city in the entire Alliance, second only to the fourteen first-tier cities, and then followed by hundreds of second-tier cities.

The reason for its name is not because some strong person is called Zheng Dayuan or Xu Dayuan, but because it is at the boundary between the human ecosystem and the monster ecosystem.

Dayuan!

A huge rift that almost divides the world.

On the other side is the monster ecosystem, where a large number of extraordinary life forms live in clusters, giving birth to countless magical ecological wonders.

Legend has it that the bottom of Dayuan connects to the Abyssal Dimension, and due to spatial instability, void creatures occasionally intrude, and even the spirit world occasionally connects to reality here. Such a chaotic place naturally has a large number of heretic cults that have been expelled by human society...

It can almost be called a place of rampant demons.

Although Dàyuan City and the surrounding cities are tens of thousands of miles away from the true front lines, and are protected by numerous satellite towns, and there have been no large-scale battles for decades, it seems safe.

But if one is to carry out official tasks, there is a high probability of approaching Dayuan or eliminating heretic cults.

Although danger comes with opportunity, it is...

Too unstable!

Moreover, there is another issue: the pet beasts exchanged for the Gold Medal are generally spoils of war from special forces fighting in the wilderness or destroying heretic cults.

Most of these pet beasts are inclined towards the evil faction, and some are even followers born from the pollution of heretic powers.

After testing, those without major problems are kept, and minor issues are ignored.

They are powerful, but their spirits are unstable, making them prone to mutations or backlash.

They are not safe.

However, ordinary people do not care about these things; getting a commander potential tamer is already a great blessing, and one cannot be too greedy.

Lu Yu is not a picky person, but after the "Taboo Sun," he needed several months to recuperate mentally and could not complete official tasks.

So he started with what was around him, trying to use the [Eye of Truth] to accumulate capital, and then get a commander potential tamer as his first tamer.

Once his strength is sufficient, he will use the Gold Medal to exchange for a second or third tamer.

If the initial accumulation fails, he will decisively exchange it.

And as it turned out, he completed the peach pig breeding manual in just three months, giving him leverage to negotiate with the school.

However, it will still take several months for the number of peach pigs to double, and it is not certain that he can exchange for a commander-level pet beast.

Especially since the school's resources are mainly from secret realms like Peach Blossom Village, which are mostly plant and animal types.

If he wants to solve the nightmare problem, he must find a curse, mental, or dream-type pet beast.

As for the unstable spirit... For someone who has witnessed forbidden secrets without collapsing, it is not a significant flaw.

As long as the pet beast doesn't pollute him, it's fine.

The reason he sought out the student council president is that having connections within the system makes things easier, allowing him to use the school's green channel without having to make an appointment and waste a week or two.

After a long silence, a message came through.

[Student Council President: Not raising pigs anymore?]

Lu Yu's face stiffened. If he didn't know the other person's character, he would have thought this was a mockery.

Those are peach pigs,

Not ordinary pigs!

Bimawen isn't just an ordinary horse keeper; he can also date fairies!

[Muya: Yes.]

This time, Lu Yu waited five minutes without a response.

Could it be that the other person doesn't want to help?

Lu Yu was resigned to this, after all, he and the student council president only had a casual colleague relationship, and it was normal for the other person not to want to help.

"Looks like I still have to find the principal myself..."

As Lu Yu pondered and got up, a sudden gust of wind whipped up the sand.

He instinctively looked up and saw a white-haired, red-eyed girl descending from the sky, her vampire demon wings flapping as she slowly landed, her black leather shoes lightly touching the ground.

The tall and well-proportioned figure she displayed during the process was almost perfect, with a white shirt hugging her proud curves, and a gray plaid skirt wrapping her buttocks like a succulent peach.

Her long legs were wrapped in white knee-high socks, straight and slender, almost glowing white, shining in the sunlight.

However, beneath such a sexy appearance, the girl's perfectly sculpted features had a cold, icy demeanor.

After landing, the pink bat wings behind her shrank, eventually turning into a large purple eyeball with small demon wings, and a black triangular tail floating beside her.

However, it didn't look scary, but rather like a flying large-eyed toy.

The Abyssal Demon Eye, however, looked unhappy and was vigilantly watching Lu Yu, as if a cabbage farmer was watching a thief in the cabbage field!

Lu Yu quietly activated the Eye of Truth.

[Abyssal Demon Eye]

[Attributes: Mental / Abyssal]

[Strength: Elite Peak]

[Race Potential: High Commander]

[Skills: Insight, Mental Shock, High-Temperature Beam, Petrifying Beam, Fear Beam, Intimidating Eye]

[Description: A mental-type pet beast that can gain flight after attachment.

An Abyssal species, a unique product of the eye demon's ecological niche, born through the eye demon's dream or the dreams of other monsters. It does not like to live in groups, is cruel and powerful, and requires a large amount of Abyssal insects and spirit-infused flesh for good breeding, and cannot resist acidic foods]

[Evolution Path: Eye Demon Servant (requires materials...), Evil Eye Demon (requires materials...), Rare Evolution — Eye Demon Tyrant (requires materials...)...]

Not only did it list the relevant attributes, but it also listed over a dozen evolution paths, including the top-tier Eye Demon Tyrant.

However, he could only see the general outline now; to fully understand it, he would need to consume a large amount of spiritual energy, which would drain him.

So he still needed to improve his strength.

However, in addition to this, the Eye of Truth also revealed an interesting piece of knowledge: Abyssal Demon Eye material can be used to make skill secret food.

After consumption, it can grant the special skill [Omnidirectional Vision], giving the pet beast a 360° unobstructed field of vision.

A god-like combat skill!

Mom will never have to worry about me being ambushed again!

However, the specific method requires the secret food inheritance that is unlocked after contracting the first tamer.

This made Lu Yu even more eager to see the subsequent functions of the Eye of Truth.

Lu Yu looked at the Abyssal Demon Eye again. He felt that this was not an Abyssal monster but a walking treasure chest!

Its strength is also extremely powerful, with four innate racial beam skills and the remaining skills being mental-type, making it versatile in combat. With the potential of a high commander, it has a good chance of becoming a dominant creature at the Morning Star stage in the future.

If he doesn't find a suitable pet beast this time, he can also seek its help to resist the nightmare's invasion.

Drooling...

"Hisss!"

The Abyssal Demon Eye floating beside the girl suddenly felt a chill on its back, as if it was being watched by something dangerous.

But under its all-seeing vision, no enemy was approaching!

Could it be invisible?

Thinking of this, the large eyeball couldn't help but move closer to its owner.

This wasn't cowardice, just caution!

Lu Yu also felt that his gaze was too intense and reluctantly moved his eyes away from the Abyssal Demon Eye, kindly reminding:

"President, don't wear a skirt when flying, it's easy to expose yourself!"

As the words fell, the scene fell into silence.

The white-haired girl looked down at the ground, where her feet were not visible, and after a moment's thought, she lifted the corners of her skirt with both hands, asked expressionlessly:

"Does it look good?"
