After that exhausting day, Lin Fan had finally made his way back to his store which was quite calm since the slots for training had been filled and there weren't many special ingredients left out for display. The only special ingredients left outside were extremely rare ones that were just too expensive, so no one bought them.
When he came in, for some reason, Angela came up to him and began sniffing around his body. After taking a few good sniffs, she knit her brows, "There's an unfamiliar smell on you."
Lin Fan was surprised by this and he raised his arm to take a sniff, but he couldn't smell anything, "What do you mean? I don't smell anything."
Angela glared at him and said, "There's a strange flowery scent that's coming from you. Where did it come from?"
Lin Fan was even more confused since he had no idea what she was talking about. In the end, he had to just walk around Angela glaring at him since he had no idea how to deal with her.
When he was about to walk into the back, Momonga suddenly waved him over.
He walked over to where Momonga was playing chess with Brainy and Momonga said, "There was an order of eggs that came in today, I think it's the first batch you ordered a few days ago. I had the girls put it in the storage by the egg cultivation chamber for you."
Lin Fan's expression filled with excitement when he heard this.
He had unlocked the egg cultivation chamber a long time ago, but he had never been able to use it since he didn't have a stock of beast eggs.
He had ordered these eggs more than a week ago, but it had taken its time getting here. But now that they were here, it was finally time for him to test out this egg cultivation chamber!
Lin Fan waved his hand at Momonga to show that he heard him before running off to that storage room.
Of course, Lin Fan back then didn't have as much money as he did now, so he had ordered a cheap batch of eggs.
When he opened the door to the storage room and saw the crates of eggs in front of him, his eyes lit up. But now that he was much stronger, he could tell based on the aura that came from the eggs, the beasts in these eggs had low grade bloodlines and were quite weak.
But still, this was just a test, so he was fine with using these low grade eggs.
Worst case scenario, he could just sell the creatures that hatched since he had also unlocked that feature when he had upgraded the shop.
Lin Fan brought one of the crates of beast eggs into the egg incubating room. When he put them down, he picked up the card that came with the crate to see what kind of eggs he had picked.
There were six eggs packed into this crate and the card said that there were two fire attributed eggs, two water attributed eggs, and two earth attributed eggs.
The card didn't specifically state what bloodline or what creature these eggs came from because that was the case for every egg.
Every beast egg that was laid was just a container for elemental energy and after the egg hatched, that elemental energy would eventually take a beast form. The higher the density of elemental energy contained within the beast egg, the higher the grade of the bloodline.
So that meant that an egg laid by a chicken could give birth to a dog, or ignoring the fact that a dog beast could lay an egg, that egg could hatch into a dragon.
Lin Fan picked one of the earth eggs since he didn't have an earth attributed pet just yet. Brainy might seem like an earth attributed pet since it was a vine, but Brainy was actually a mutated spiritual attributed beast since its spiritual senses were the most developed part of it.
Lin Fan brought the earth attributed egg over and placed it into the central pedestal before taking out a few earth attributed ingredients out of the shop's spatial storage.
He was tempted to take out special ingredients at first since everyone said that the first attempt was always the luckiest, but he still didn't know how this would turn out, so he was hesitant about doing this. Unfortunately, he was filled with regret over what the system said later when he activated it.
When everything was put into their proper place, Lin Fan moved over to the control panel and pressed the button to start the machine, but then there was a message from the system on the panel.
"Host, please note that it costs 100 points for each attempt of the egg incubating chamber, please confirm by pressing the button again."
Lin Fan was surprised by this, but he gave a shrug since he was no longer the same Lin Fan from before, he was finally somewhat rich.
After receiving the business from the nobles and selling all those ingredients in the morning, Lin Fan had slowly amassed over two million points, which meant that he had earned over two million crystals!
That was what a store under a noble family made in an entire month, but he had earned all of that in a single week.
Of course this was not counting all the points he had spent on the various expenses of the store like for the cultivation realm farms and for entering the high grade cultivation realms to train and farm special ingredients.
But once Lin Fan pressed the button, the next notification from the system filled him with regret.
"First activation of the egg incubating chamber has been detected, now activating first time luck. The first egg placed in the egg incubating chamber has a high chance of being increased by a single rank."
Lin Fan was stunned by this.
Why had he been greedy and not stuffed this egg full of special ingredients.
As Lin Fan was regretting his life choices, the center pedestal began to light up as elemental energy was sucked out through the tubes connecting to it. Once the elemental energy was sucked into the main pedestal, it created a vortex with the egg in the center. As the earth elemental energy continued to swirl around the egg, streams of it came out of the vortex as it entered the egg, increasing the aura of the egg itself.
Lin Fan with his spiritual senses could tell that the energy concentration inside the egg was getting stronger.
Since this was an Iron Realm egg, he had expected the egg incubating chamber to push it at least to the Silver Realm, but he could tell from the aura that it was already at the peak of the Gold Realm and approaching the Platinum Realm.
Then he remembered that there was the first time bonus from the system, so that was probably why it was being pushed that far.
Eventually the elemental energy vortex was completely sucked into the egg and there was just silence in the room.
Lin Fan walked over to the egg and when he was about to pull it out, he suddenly saw a wisp of light fall down through the central tube and land on the egg. The moment the wisp of light touched the egg, the entire egg lit up and released a dazzling light that forced Lin Fan to block his eyes.
After a moment, the light slowly faded and Lin Fan regained his vision, but the egg strangely hadn't changed at all.
This time Lin Fan waited to see if there were any other changes, but after waiting for five minutes and seeing nothing, he realized that it was over.
Lin Fan opened the central pedestal and went to pull out the egg, but the moment his hand touched the egg, the shell cracked and a pile of stones fell out.
"Congratulations, the host has hatched a mutated beast, the Aegean Giant."
Lin Fan was surprised to see that it was a mutated beast, but he was also filled with excitement. Brainy was a mutated beast and it had all kinds of different wonderful abilities, which meant that this Aegean Giant should be the same.
