Chapter 1

Of course, as a spirit entity, even a common-level spirit entity will have a bound skill after forming a contract with a human.

Most of these skills are innate racial abilities.

For example, even if one contracts with a common-level lily, they will still gain healing abilities.

Of course, such innate skills are the most basic species skills.

To truly make a spirit entity master a powerful skill, it must evolve to the Bronze Rank and awaken a unique characteristic.

Then, by combining the characteristic with the skill, the skill's strength can undergo a dramatic change.

This is why the Bronze Rank is considered the true beginning for a spirit entity. Therefore, any spirit user with some resources will choose a Bronze Rank spirit entity when forming their initial contract.

Because even spirit entities of the same type can have different Bronze Rank characteristics when they reach that level.

This makes spirit users more willing to contract with spirit entities whose awakened characteristics are compatible or beneficial to them.

Forming a contract with a spirit entity requires the use of mental energy, which essentially fuses the spirit entity's soul with one's own.

Therefore, once a contract is formed, it is extremely difficult to dissolve.

This is why many strong individuals, due to limited resources in the early stages, form contracts with low-rank spirit entities and, even after becoming stronger, choose to use resources to induce the low-rank spirit entity's evolution rather than replacing it.

Lin Yuan was now carefully observing Moebius, wanting to check Moebius's spirit entity attributes.

At this moment, Moebius could only express subtle emotions; normal communication with Moebius would likely require some time for recovery.

While checking Moebius's attributes, Lin Yuan discovered that Moebius was currently just a common-level entity, but Moebius's attributes were entirely different from those of a common-level spirit entity. Moebius not only had a skill but also a unique characteristic.

It should be noted that unique characteristics are only possessed by Bronze Rank spirit entities.

"My goodness, it seems my contracted spirit entity Moebius is quite strong!" Lin Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.

Moebius, who came to this world with him, already possessed a unique characteristic at the common level.

If Moebius were to awaken another unique characteristic upon reaching the Bronze Rank, it would have two unique characteristics.

This is a capability that only legendary spirit entities, known as Phantasmal Beings, possess.

Phantasmal Beings have always been legendary, and this knowledge is currently beyond Lin Yuan's reach. However, the life forms of Phantasmal Beings and ordinary spirit entities are clearly on different levels.

After the initial surprise, Lin Yuan felt a wave of emotional fluctuations from Moebius, indicating that Moebius wanted him to use the first skill on it.

After receiving Moebius's request, Lin Yuan used Moebius's first skill. Upon using the first skill, Lin Yuan directly perceived all of Moebius's information in a data format.

【Spirit Entity Name】: Moebius

【Spirit Entity Type】: ???

【Spirit Entity Level】: Common Level 1

【Spirit Entity Class】: Spatial, Mysterious

【Comprehension Quality】: Common Quality

Skills:

【True Data】: Converts all complex, indiscernible information into data, which may contain hidden truths.

【Calm Mind】: Passive skill, enhances the effect of Calm Mind as the spirit entity's level increases. Calm Mind can stabilize the mind and has a certain probability of resisting negative states.

Unique Characteristics:

【Soul Lock】: Moebius's space can nurture spirit entities. The initial level of the spirit entities nurtured in Moebius's space cannot exceed Moebius's level. Moebius itself cannot level up; its level will increase as the nurtured spirit entities level up. Moebius will also gain the initial skills of the nurtured spirit entities, but Moebius itself will not gain new skills upon leveling up. Moebius can nurture one additional spirit entity for each major level increase, and the method of Moebius's level-up remains unchanged.

When Lin Yuan finished reading the true data presented by Moebius's data, his smile froze on his face.

After a moment, Lin Yuan trembled and sent a message to Moebius. Upon receiving Moebius's confirmation, Lin Yuan almost collapsed.

"This is simply too much! Moebius is currently a common-level, common-quality spirit entity. I can only use the Soul Lock skill to contract with another common-level, common-quality spirit entity. Not to mention the resources required to cultivate such a spirit entity, my mental energy isn't even enough to contract with a common-level spirit entity!"

Although the spirit entity will eventually live in Moebius's space, the contract still needs to be formed by him. The shadow of the tragic incident with the housekeeping beast, Yinyin, and the smart one still lingers in Lin Yuan's mind.

Moreover, the most terrifying part is that each time Moebius levels up, its Soul Lock space can contract with one additional spirit entity. Only by cultivating these spirit entities can Moebius continue to level up. The reward for such an investment is merely the most basic skills of the contracted spirit entities.

The investment and return are completely disproportionate, and the evolution of spirit entities is extremely difficult, especially for low-level ones.

Where do I have the ability to continuously evolve low-level spirit entities?

The characteristic of Soul Lock, even for a wealthy tycoon, would drain their resources in no time, let alone for someone as poor as me.

The joy of contracting with a spirit entity was quickly replaced by a sense of helplessness about the uncertain future. However, Lin Yuan's optimistic attitude quickly adjusted.

I am already much better off than before. Although the path ahead is still fraught with difficulties and obstacles, the road is forged by walking. At least I have a direction to move forward, and I no longer need to wander aimlessly.

May the dark past be left behind, and the future path be bright and radiant.

Just as Lin Yuan changed his mindset, a slightly weak mental energy from the Moebius ring entered his brain.

The mental energy in his brain, which was as fine as a hair, increased by five times. Even so, it was still finer than a normal person's mental energy.

However, this mental energy should be sufficient to contract with a common-level, common-quality spirit plant. For animals, this amount of mental energy would likely be insufficient.

According to common knowledge, the mental energy required to contract with animals is generally more than that required for spirit plants.

Unless one can obtain the egg of an oviparous animal and attempt the contract when the eggshell breaks, which is when the animal's mental energy is most naive.

Upon receiving the mental energy feedback, Lin Yuan directly felt Moebius's weakness.

Moebius was compressing the mental energy it occupied and transferring the compressed mental energy to him.

It is said that spirit entities have a spirit, and any spirit entity that forms a contract with a human chooses one person for life.

Lin Yuan had not experienced this before, but Moebius's actions now made him fully understand the meaning of this statement.

Because from now on, they will share life and death.
