Chen Luo’s gaze swept over the crowd below, clearly seeing the schadenfreude on their faces.
Among them were a few of his former friends, whose mouths were practically twisted from laughing.
They were clearly the type who feared their brother suffering, but also feared their brother driving a Land Rover.
They were all ungrateful adopted sons!
Chen Luo curled his lips, took a deep breath, and shouted, “Look, look, initial Family Sale!" (Initial Family Sale!)
“A Platinum Rank 2 Holy Angel, only one hundred million dragon coins! Don't miss it, everyone passing by!”
“You won’t lose out, you won’t be fooled! Truly great value for money, once in a lifetime opportunity!”
These three short sentences silenced the entire playground.
Ilena was stunned at first, then, after realizing what was happening, her pretty face alternated between green and pale.
Their noble Holy Angel was actually being treated as merchandise and publicly hawked?
Shouldn't this poor human be begging her to form a contract?
How could he not hesitate at all and just sell her directly?
This human… is a bit anti-human, isn't he?
Ilena began to doubt her life, her hand clutching the Flame Longsword trembling.
If only a Families could harm their summoner.
She would have drawn her sword long ago and given Chen Luo a chilling, exhilarating strike!
Principal Li was the first to react, stepping forward and bringing a young man directly onto the high platform.
He moved through the air, a Golden Lord.
“Young man, you have ambition, your future is promising!”
“This card has one hundred million dragon coins, the password is six sixes!”
As if afraid Chen Luo would go back on his word, he directly pulled out a black card and handed it over.
His movements were fluid and graceful, showing no signs of old age.
【Task completed, obtained initial Families: Insectoid (System Special Edition)!】
【Exclusive ability: Devour Evolution!】
【During evolution, only the most common materials are needed, and consumption is reduced by 80%!】
【Note: The special edition Insectoid will have unlimited growth potential!】
Chen Luo’s hand holding the black card paused.
System Special Edition Insectoid?
Is it the Insectoid he was thinking of?
With a wave of his hand, a sea of insects filled the sky!
Under the endless insect tide, all beings are equal!
One of the most powerful races!
And if he remembered correctly, the Insectoid Queen was a true leather beauty with a curvaceous figure and a backflip, right?
“Pleasure doing business, she’s yours.”
Chen Luo touched the Families token in his embrace and left without looking back.
Instead of wasting time here, he might as well go home early and check if the Insectoid was the one he was thinking of.
“What an idiot, selling a Platinum Families for just one hundred million dragon coins, this should have been my opportunity, Li Hao’s!”
Li Hao looked at Chen Luo’s departing back with a sneer.
In this world, what matters is one’s background and financial status.
It’s about money!
What if he summoned a Platinum Rank 2 Holy Angel Families?
Without money or background, even with an opportunity, it’s just making a wedding dress for someone else!
This was a Platinum Rank 2 Holy Angel!
Not many people knew that this type of humanoid Families could have offspring with humans!
Li Hao’s eyes grew hot; if he could have offspring with a Holy Angel.
Then the Li family’s genes would be greatly improved.
Although they wouldn't become Holy Angels, from then on, the initial Families summoned would most likely be Holy Angels.
This was also the reason why those prominent families had always flourished!
Ilena looked at his retreating figure, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.
As if something very important had been missed.
But this feeling lasted for a short while before disappearing.
The initial Families summoning ritual continued.
Chen Luo’s matter also became a topic of conversation among everyone.
Everyone said he was foolish.
After all, no one but a fool would easily give up a Platinum Families!
······
“Fortunately, it’s not a Minotaur or similar Families, otherwise I’d have to kill it and eat its meat.”
“All Minotaurs should die!!”
Chen Luo walked while looking at the silver-colored Families token in his hand.
When a Families hasn’t been summoned, it exists in the form of a token.
Summoning the first Families requires no cost.
But each subsequent Families summoned requires specific materials.
So even a Golden Lord.
Doesn't have many Families in hand, at most a few hundred.
That's only if they have a strong family background and the blessing of money.
Otherwise, being able to own a dozen Families, with one or two having Golden strength.
Is already considered a chosen one.
Poor underdogs rising up isn’t impossible, but the probability is lower than winning the lottery.
The chance of winning a ten-billion-dollar jackpot is even higher than the probability of a successful underdog story.
【Families: Insectoid!】
【Aptitude: Silver Rank 3!】
【Strength: Bronze First Order!】
【Skills: Mighty Pincers, Divine Strength!】
【Status: Not summoned!】
“Because it hasn’t been summoned yet, I can’t see what’s needed for evolution?”
“The mighty Insectoid, yet only Silver Rank 3? Is this truly the Insectoid scourge from my memory?”
Chen Luo frowned, tightening his grip on the token.
Families grades, from low to high, are: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Monarch, Myth!
Each rank is further divided into First Order to Tenth Order, from low to high.
This corresponds exactly to the Lord’s level.
If it were the Insectoid from his memory, it would at least be a Mythical Tenth Order existence.
How could it only be Silver?
“System, you wouldn’t trick me, would you?”
Chen Luo complained, but what he got in return…
Nothing.
From beginning to end, this system had only spoken three times.
It was like a machine operating solely on programming, completely devoid of emotion.
“Never mind, whether it’s the Insectoid from my memory or not, I have a way to make her powerful enough!”
“Powerful enough to make everyone take notice!”
Returning to the dilapidated rental room.
Following what he had learned from books, Chen Luo bit his finger, and a drop of blood fell onto the Insectoid token.
The next moment, a silver light flashed.
A half-meter long, completely black, winged ant appeared in the room.
Its sharp, cold-gleaming mandibles accounted for a quarter of its body.
【Families: Giant Mandible Worker Ant!】
【Contracted Lord: Chen Luo!】
【Race: Insectoid!】
【Talent: Silver Rank 3!】
【Strength: Bronze First Order!】
【Skills: Mighty Pincers, Divine Strength!】
【Evolution requirements: Three tons of Silver-grade flesh and blood, can evolve into a Golden Rank 2 Insectoid Queen!】
Chen Luo closed his eyes, and a lot of information flooded into his mind, including the two skills.
Mighty Pincers: Mandible strength doubled, can easily bite through steel!
Divine Strength: Can lift objects ten times its own size!
“As expected of a Worker Ant, just by looking at the skills, you know she’s very capable!”
“The evolution materials are also incredibly simple; this must be what the special edition Insectoid’s ‘Devour Evolution’ refers to, right?”
Chen Luo didn't dwell on this much.
He stroked the Giant Mandible Worker Ant’s head, and seeing her so docile, his heart finally relaxed.
One of the reasons he chose the Insectoid as his Families was that Insectoids don't have so many complex thoughts.
They are not as fickle as other creatures.
Loyal one second, then stabbing you in the back the next!
And they’d even twist the knife after stabbing!
“From today onwards, you shall be called Iris!”
Iris opened and closed her mandibles, as if very pleased with the name.
Chen Luo took out his phone and quickly found Silver-grade flesh and blood online.
Without hesitation, he directly ordered three tons.
Costing thirty million dragon coins!
“Raising a Families really burns money!”
“I wonder if the materials needed to summon Insectoids are hard to obtain.”
Officially summoning a Families requires entering the Lord Source Realm.
Only after activating the lord core and becoming a true Lord can one summon them.
Currently, he could only summon one through the contract without any consumption.
Soon, three tons of Silver-grade flesh and blood were delivered to his doorstep.
His rental room was in a dim alley.
The surroundings were all dilapidated buildings, with few residents.
So he directly took Iris out, pointed at the mountain of flesh and blood, and said, “Go eat!”
Upon receiving the command, Iris immediately rushed into the flesh and blood and began to feast.
