Chapter 30 - Roly Poly Is About to Evolve!

The fact that he did not insist on asking for the key did not mean that Fang Ping had lost interest in the ancient ruins.

He just did not want his selfish desires to hurt Kallen's feelings.

Moreover, Kallen was the target of the investment system and had already brought huge benefits to Fang Ping.

He was not the type of person to kick someone to the curb when they've outlived their usefulness.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them were still very good friends, Fang Ping finally gave up on this plan and found another opportunity to obtain the necklace key.

Days passed, but Fang Ping still did not find the opportunity to obtain the key.

However, at some point, when he was mixing drinks for Kallen, the investment system would jump out from time to time.

A layer of white light covered Kallen's body.

This represented the lowest level of investment potential!

With the incident with the ancient ruins at Manstein previously, Fang Ping firmly believed in the investment system's judgment.

Even if the other party could not be seen to have any investment potential in the short term, as long as he persisted, he would definitely obtain huge benefits.

Every time Fang Ping finished mixing the drinks, as long as he completed the white investment mission, he would obtain a certain amount of system rewards.

Sometimes, these rewards would contain some small treasures that were helpful for cultivation.

Most of the time, it was experience points. Although it was not especially much, with Fang Ping's current strength, after absorbing these experience points, the increase in his strength was still very obvious.

Just like that, a year of peace passed.

Fang Ping and Kallen had long become good friends who told each other everything. Their relationship was probably above that of friends but below that of lovers.

Although they had not taken it to the next level, both sides could clearly sense the other party's affection for each other.

Even if they belonged to different races, Fang Ping's strength had also been constantly increasing during this period of time. A year later, he was already close to the peak of the Skeleton Lord!

He was advancing to the next level.

At this moment, the peaceful days finally ended.

Ever since a duke expert of the vampires personally attacked and repelled the orcs' attack, both sides had stopped fighting for a while.

The two sides returned to their own lines to recuperate, but they did not retreat.

The war between the two countries had existed almost continuously thousands of years ago, so they had long formed a feud and would not stop fighting at all.

Now, after a year of recuperation, the war had begun again!

Moreover, the vampires had become more invested in this war!

The main goal was to wash away the humiliation of his previous failure!

They had been defeated more than 50 times in a row by the orcs. This was the most painful failure in the past 300 years.

Therefore, the vampires had given up on internal competition this time and were united against the outside world!

The vampire royal family was divided into a total of seven branches that jointly controlled the highest authority in the kingdom.

Even though vampires and orcs fought all year round, these seven branches still had a lot of internal fighting, hoping that their branch would have more power.

However, this time, the seven royal branches had joined forces for the first time and were about to form an extremely powerful alliance army to take revenge on the orcs!

Just as the vampires gathered the alliance army and prepared to launch a revenge battle…

Fang Ping's demon beast friend, Roly Poly, had once again reached the edge of evolution.

However, because Roly Poly's bloodline talent was relatively poor, the risk was extremely high if it wanted to completely evolve into a phoenix.

It was even possible for it to die during its evolution.

"Roly Poly, do you have to do this? Actually, I don't have such high expectations of you. It's fine as long as you have the ability to protect yourself.

"I'll do the fighting."

After Fang Ping learned that Roly Poly was going to travel far to seek an evolutionary land, he could not bear to say it.

"Chirp chirp!"

Roly Poly shook its little head hard and flapped its wings a few times.

Fang Ping immediately understood what it meant.

Roly Poly's conviction was incomparably firm as it rejected Fang Ping's suggestion.

It did not want to drag Fang Ping down, nor did it want to only seek Fang Ping's protection at all times.

It wanted to become a demon beast expert and fight alongside Fang Ping!

Fang Ping rubbed Roly Poly's head in relief.

"Alright, since you've already decided, I can only support you!

"However, no matter what, you have to prioritize your life. If you can't handle it, come back. No matter what you become, I won't despise you!"

Hearing this, Roly Poly called out happily.

A few minutes later, a fiery red figure quickly disappeared into the sky like a bolt of lightning.

Because it was too fast, not many people in the city noticed Roly Poly's existence.

Fang Ping stood in front of the window and looked in the direction Roly Poly left, praying silently for it.

"You have to return safely!"

The vampire alliance army was being formed, and undercurrents began to surge in the Imperial City.

Every day, a large number of soldiers were constantly patrolling the streets. Because the war was about to begin again, the atmosphere became extremely tense and even somewhat oppressive.

On this day, Kallen came to drink with Fang Ping as usual.

However, after seeing this little princess today, Fang Ping realized that the other party seemed to be in a bad mood.

It was as if she was feeling depressed about something.

Moreover, when Fang Ping asked Kallen what wine she wanted to drink, she still appeared to be unhappy and did not speak at all.

Helpless, Fang Ping could only mix the drinks according to his previous understanding of Kallen.

At the same time, he asked with great concern, "Kallen, what's wrong with you today? You usually look quite happy when you come to drink with me. Why are you so unhappy today?

"Did you encounter something bad?"

Hearing this question, Kallen did not know what to say. Moreover, her face seemed to be somewhat red, but she had clearly not drunk.

"What's going on? Tell me if you want to take things too hard. I'll always be on your side."

Fang Ping said rather sincerely. At the same time, he placed a glass of freshly mixed wine on the table.

Kallen finished the wine in one gulp and hesitated for a long time.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that she revealed what she had been conflicted about.

This was also the first time Kallen had truly revealed her thoughts to Fang Ping. Moreover, it was about the relationship between the two of them!

"Fang Ping, your current strength is already very powerful. Have you ever thought of finding some special methods to turn yourself into a creature of another race?"

As soon as she said this, Fang Ping understood what Kallen meant.

This girl clearly hoped that he could become a member of the vampire race. This way, there would no longer be a racial barrier between the two of them.

However, Fang Ping did not know how to answer this question.

He was not sure if he could become a vampire in the future, or at the very least, a human. After all, the appearance of humans was extremely similar to vampires.
