47: The Yan family's compensation was a windfall. (Skill enhancement)

That evening, as Lin Chuan was still intensely battling someone online, the doorbell suddenly rang outside the villa.

"Who is it? I didn't order takeout."

Lin Chuan opened the door.

Outside stood a middle-aged man, directing workers to unload large wooden crates.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Chuan?"

Seeing Lin Chuan open the door, the middle-aged man asked respectfully.

"I am."

"Hello, I am the logistics manager for Yan Group, my surname is Zhang. The chairman asked me to deliver these to you."

Manager Zhang said respectfully.

From his attitude, Lin Chuan could guess how the Yan Family had instructed him before he came.

"Bring them all in, just put them in the yard."

"Alright!"

Manager Zhang agreed while supervising the workers, ensuring no mistakes were made.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of his job.

Judging by the big boss's tone, he'd probably be half-dead even if he didn't die.

Thinking of this, Manager Zhang became even more cautious.

With this, the conflict between Lin Chuan and the Yan Family was resolved.

As long as the other party didn't cause trouble, Lin Chuan wouldn't actively seek it.

Strictly speaking, the consequences of them offending Lan Lan would be a hundred times more severe than offending Lin Chuan.

However, since Lan Lan didn't pursue it further, and clearly didn't want to rely on Qin Yan's implied connection, Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't meddle.

After everyone left, Lin Chuan rubbed his hands, eagerly opening one of the wooden crates.

The wooden crate was filled with sponges, and beneath the sponges was a foam box.

Opening the foam box, a chill mixed with a strong smell of blood wafted out.

What met his eyes was a relatively intact Yao Beast corpse, covered in wounds from head to toe. The fatal wound was a large hole in its skull, clearly indicating a fierce battle.

Lin Chuan recognized this type of Yao Beast; it was a common Yao Beast outside the city, and the school would provide illustrated guides.

The Red-Eyed Tiger Beast, three to four meters long and weighing four to five hundred catties, possessed sharp claws like daggers. Even though it was dead, it still had a strong deterrent effect.

Lin Chuan didn't know its exact star rating, but it didn't matter, as it was a free acquisition.

This large Yao Beast was so big that Lin Chuan didn't even have the tools to cut open its body or retrieve other Materials.

Tiger skin, tiger bones, tiger penis... More importantly, he didn't know if the crystal core had been dug out.

He might as well just let the golden tree absorb it all directly.

Lin Chuan stated that he didn't need tiger penis or anything of that sort.

The several hundred catties of Yao Beast corpse instantly vanished. Fortunately, no one saw it. Even if they had, it wouldn't matter, as storage items are quite common.

Lin Chuan only felt the golden tree in his Sea of Consciousness tremble, its branches swaying, and its leaves constantly making a wind chime-like sound.

Subsequently, yellow enhancement fruit and red skill fruit continuously appeared like ephemeral flowers.

It seemed the crystal core hadn't been removed and was absorbed along with it.

The Yan Family was generous this time, though more out of fear of Qin Yan's intimidation.

Lin Chuan roughly estimated that this Commander-level Demon Beast corpse contributed about 17 enhancement fruit and 15 skill fruit.

"Awesome!"

Now, the enhancement fruit Lin Chuan had saved up instantly exceeded 20.

Next, following suit, the remaining two Commander-level Demon Beast corpses were also absorbed while fresh.

Among them, a bird-shaped Yao Beast with a mouth full of sharp teeth wasn't very large, nor did it have much flesh, but it still provided 15 enhancement fruit and 16 skill fruit.

The last one, named Ghost-Faced Ape, was a type of communal Yao Beast that lived in caves. Lin Chuan didn't know how much the Yan Family had paid to hunt it.

To deal with a Commander-level Demon Beast with a population, even a Gold-rank Beast Tamer might not be able to handle it; a Diamond Rank might be needed to secure it.

The Ghost-Faced Ape contributed 19 enhancement fruit and 13 skill fruit to Lin Chuan.

"What a great harvest, what a great harvest... Hahaha."

Looking at the golden tree laden with red, yellow, and green fruits, Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh up at the sky.

Both enhancement fruit and skill fruit were close to 60, while energy fruit exceeded 100.

At this point, almost all of Lin Chuan's resources had been converted into three types of fruit.

Getting so many enhancement fruit at once, if he didn't use them to improve his strength, what would be the difference from not getting them at all?

Only money spent is real money; otherwise, what's the difference from waste paper?

So, Lin Chuan looked at Old Hei's panel, feeling dizzy from the sheer amount of information.

However, based on his previous combat experience, he still chose four relatively practical skills.

First was Shape-Shifting; its ability to grow large or small was a divine skill for ambushing.

Others are two meters tall, but you're twenty meters tall. How do you compare?

However, Old Hei probably wouldn't be 20 meters tall, but 20 meters wide was possible.

Currently, Shape-Shifting was Lv4, with a limit of increasing or decreasing size by 200%.

No need to say more, max it out directly.

Shape-Shifting Lv9 (Active, can freely increase or decrease body size, up to 450%)

Rounding up, Old Hei's original size multiplied or divided by 5 times would be about right.

Now, Old Hei, under normal circumstances, had a diameter of nearly 3 meters and was half a meter tall even when lying down.

If multiplied by five times again... Old Hei's Xuanwu Divine Beast Bloodline really seemed to have a chance to reappear in the world!

Next was Attack Absorption, which was directly raised from Lv1 to Lv9.

Attack Absorption Lv9 (Passive, when attacked by the same type of skill, the opponent's attack effect gradually weakens, reducing by a maximum of 50%)

Lin Chuan hadn't paid much attention to this skill originally, but after fighting Yan Hao, he realized this skill was divine for dealing with single-attribute Beast Tamer.

Even if Lin Chuan didn't spec into fire resistance, he could gradually gain 50% damage reduction relying on this skill.

Of course, this process required time to stack, as long as he wasn't instantly killed.

Therefore, it was still more targeted to directly stack resistance.

Attack Absorption was more comprehensive, with its own pros and cons.

Lin Chuan didn't care; he wanted them all anyway.

However, the damage calculation method would definitely not be 50% + 50% for direct fire immunity, but rather have a sequence. First, 50% fire resistance is calculated, and then the remaining 50% is multiplied by 50%.

That is to say, Old Hei's current panel maximum was 75% fire attribute damage reduction.

Rounding up, it was barely fire immune.

The remaining two maxed-out skills were Rock Armor and Single Target Taunt.

Taunt was a divine skill, so it was naturally maxed out.

Single Target Taunt Lv9 (Active, forces a single target within a five-meter radius and no more than one major rank higher than oneself to perform normal attacks on oneself. Lasts 10 seconds, cooldown 1 minute)

With such a long control effect, plus damage reflection, Lin Chuan really couldn't casually use it on his classmates at Third High School.

As for Rock Armor, he also discovered in actual combat that this skill was not as simple as he imagined.

Even at Lv1, it could block a lot of attacks for Old Hei, providing very comprehensive defense.

Rock Armor Lv9 (Passive, forms dense obsidian scales all over the body, providing a large amount of physical and elemental defense)

Although this description wasn't direct numerical data, its power was undeniable.

Old Hei was seen wrapped in a faint yellow aura, falling into a deep sleep.

It seemed that due to eating too many fruits at once, he had a bit of indigestion, and a good sleep would fix it.

Reinforcement completed, nearly half of the enhancement fruit were used, with less than 30 remaining.

These would be kept as backup, to be used flexibly when needed, as other elemental resistances were still Lv1.

"Still not enough, hehe..."

Lin Chuan thought, somewhat insatiably, then put Old Hei away and went to sleep.
