Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 72: Shattered Fire Patterns

"Quack? Quack! QUAAAACK!"

The duck suddenly quacked in pain as flame patterns appeared on its body, seemingly burning from within!

"Don’t worry, it’s fine, just concentrate on absorbing the power!" Fengyu shouted, trying to calm the duck while moving his hands rapidly while looking at the screen in front of him –

[Use 10 Beast Origin Essence Strands to upgrade bloodline to low-grade first stage? 5.300/10]

’Yes!’ Fengyu commanded –

Instantly, white strands left his body and flew into the duck, rapidly absorbed into the body!

To his surprise, he suddenly saw the white power gain a slight red colour just when it was about to fully enter the body –

He didn’t stop and instantly cast his two spells one after another –

"Wood Recovery Spell, Recover!"

"Vitality Recovery Spell, Recover!"

"Recovery Fusion Beam Spell, Fuse!"

"Fwuuuuuu-"

His flute sounded amid the quacks that slowly became softer.

The beam of recovery energy hit the duck deeply, instantly allowing its body to recover its vitality.

In front of his eyes, Fengyu saw how the red patterns were reduced, becoming less and less...

But just as they were about to fully disappear, a few, like scars, remained on the body, creating weird shattered patterns.

"This, is this good or bad?" he asked, unsure.

"Hmm... since it’s flame-oriented, then it should be fine."

He smiled and inspected the duck, only to see it wasn’t even a fire-feathered or red-patterned duck, but only a simple low-grade first stage Spiritual Duck.

Sighing, he knew this duck’s potential was limited and the advancement was already a first breach of the bloodline.

"As I guessed, the first generation can’t be focused on. Rather, I should follow my plan."

Fengyu turned to the male duck and didn’t say much, directly using another 10 strands to allow it to advance further.

When he looked at the two ducks next to each other, he had to say that while the fire duck’s potential was also capped, at least it was stronger and larger, seemingly having approached at least the middle of the low-grade, higher than the barely advanced male duck.

Fengyu said a few words of congratulations, telling them they could live together happily ever after...

Hearing this, the two were confused and left the scene together, inexplicably quacking together rather than alone.

"Zimu, keep an eye on them. Once they become mates, I will have to continue this experiment.

A future is in sight. If possible, I want to create a brand new mutation!" Fengyu’s eyes shone brightly with a look of a cultivator mad from seeking the path –

"Quack, you’re so weird. Why are you always involved with other people’s love life? Don’t you have your own?" Zimu mocked him.

"Huh?!" Fengyu was surprised and turned to Zimu, looking at him as if he was insulted, "But, don’t I have you, my most dearest Zimu?"

"Quack? QUACK! Let go!" Zimu was shocked to see that Fengyu raised it into the air and then into his arms, his face rubbing against his back feathers as he muttered that he had found the love of his life already.

"Quach! Bah! Go away! If you ruffle my feathers like that, which beautiful duck will like me?" Zimu called out in shock when it felt its clean feathers become like that of a dirty duck!

"Heh, so it’s like this, isn’t it? You’re not telling me you found a beautiful duck, have you?"

"Quack? Beautiful duck? Where?"

"No way! No, no way! Did you fall in love with Silver Feather? No, wait, was it the wolves?"

"Quack? Are you insane? Why would I fall in love with a mated duck?

You! Quack! You humans are lustful! We, clean and beautiful ducks, aren’t like you!

And wolves! Bah, bah! Those smelly big dogs who are everything but peaceful, would I like them!

I don’t have bad taste like you!"

"Hey, Zimu, you can’t say that. That’s called speciesism! Anyways, I saw a wolf looking at you with its deep round eyes, do you think it was interested?"

"Quack, of course it was interested! Interested in eating me!

Quack, quack, go away, you’re so bothersome!" Zimu finally crawled out of Fengyu’s arms and jumped away, hurriedly flapping its wings to leave the spot.

"Hehe, you can run away if you want, but I will find you nonetheless!" Fengyu shouted after Zimu.

"Hmm... is he still sad about his bloodline? Is that why he changed the topic right after I sent them away?

But... I can definitely feel his bloodline growing.

I don’t think he had a high ancestral bloodline, it even seems somewhat blocked.

If Zimu worked on his own, then it would not only be difficult to reach the low grade, it would be a challenge to not fall into anxiety or die from being scammed.

After all, it has an extreme sense of peace, which isn’t the same as safety.

Maybe human society is peaceful, while beast society is not?

If that was true, then Zimu would be in real danger alone in the wilderness...

It’s been five years since he reached the peak of the early stage, which was quite fast for his bloodline at that time.

I’ll wait another five years...

Ten is a number of great fortune.

If he has to gather his bloodline for ten years, then it might directly reach the high-grade, or even the peak of first stage!"

Fengyu smiled, not really worried.

While Zimu also felt its own bloodline condensing, it wasn’t able to compare it numerically.

But Fengyu could compare its density with the beasts around him, together with the panel, he had a foundation to guess that the bloodline might be at the peak of mid-stage, about to go even further.

If he forcefully made Zimu advance now, then that would likely be the end of the first bloodline breach!

"By the way, this experiment will lead to me having to take care of an additional 10 ducks every month...

Alas, I said that after reaching the fifth stage, I could finally work within my own limits without harming my vitality.

Now I just advanced for a short time and I already go above and beyond in straining myself..."
