The system was now showing a screen to Lucius that was filled with the possible evolution list of the Lava Turtle that he was about to hack and he was now contemplating each one of them.
[3-Star Lava Turtle: 10.000 HP]
[3-Star Lava Tortoise: 100.000 HP]
Lucius immediately thought for a while and soon made his conclusion. "The Lava Turtle one is the common one and it is not too expensive for me but still..."
Lucius then looked at the second evolution: "The Lava Tortoise one, although ten times more expensive, will be a better and stronger evolution for the Lava Turtle."
Lucius still thought about which one he needed to use to impress the Volcaria family. Lucius then began to turn around to see the materials that were already prepared by the maids.
"Let's see... just what materials the maids had prepared for me?" Lucius then inspected the materials and found out that there were quite a number of 2-Star materials and also a few 3-Star materials.
"Not bad; it is even enough for me to immediately evolve the Lava Turtle into the Lava Tortoise." Lucius smiled after calculating it but suddenly he realized that at the corner end, there was one unique material.
It was a vial of a crimson red liquid and when Lucius felt the aura, he was surprised as its aura was strong and when he held it up with his hand, it was so hot, although it was in a vial and only material.
"A 4-Star material? What is it doing here? Why are they putting this one for me even though I only evolve a 2-Star beast, not a 3-Star beast?" Lucius was really confused about the current situation.
Lucius, who was now looking at the 4-Star material, was now fighting with his inner self, "Do I absorb it or not? I don't know how much it is worth, as I never absorbed a 4-star material in my past life."
Lucius then thought it through and immediately decided and said. "I don't want to be weak. I want to be strong fast so I am going to risk it. I'll just make the Lava Turtle evolve into Lava Tortoise and hope that they will forget about this material."
Lucius then turned toward the system and immediately told it, "System, absorb the 4-Star material and also just absorb some of the 3-Star materials and don't absorb the 2-Star materials."
The reason he only absorbed some of the 3-Star materials and not the 2-Star materials was to make an illusion that he used the best materials to make a stronger evolution.
And for the 4-Star material, he just hoped that they would forget it the moment they looked at how amazing the Lava Tortoise would be later on.
The materials then began to be absorbed by the system as they began to dry up and soon crushed into powder as they were empty. It was also the same situation as the 4-Star material, as it was now just an empty vial.
Lucius then immediately began to see his points storage in the system and when he looked at it, he could not help but be shocked after seeing the amount of it.
[Hack Points: 10M HP]
Lucius never thought that a single 4-Star material could be worth a thousand times better than 3-Star material that only gave him about 10 thousand points.
Lucius then immediately smirked, as he had already thought many things the moment he had this point: "It seems that my plan can be executed soon."
Lucius then immediately turned toward the Lava Turtle again and smirked. "You are really fortunate. Your owner has given me a really great price so for him, I will make sure that you evolve to become a stronger beast."
The Lava Turtle didn't know what Lucius was talking about and could only blink and stood silent as he was dumb because of the system. Lucius immediately ignored it as he began to use the system.
He then immediately ordered the system, "System, let's not waste our time anymore. Immediately evolve the Lava Turtle into the 3-Star Lava Tortoise."
The system began his work by immediately hacking the core of the Lava Turtle and forcing him to evolve. Because this was not a natural evolution but a forced one, the Lava Turtle could feel some discomfort.
The Lava Turtle trembled while letting out a small growl as his body began to change and also began to emit more heat than usual that made Lucius sweat even more than before.
Lucius, who saw the condition of the Lava Turtle, only smirked and reminded it, "Just endure it, as evolution is never easy but when it is finished, you will become a new, stronger beast."
The Lava Turtle still didn't understand what Lucius said and could only endure the pain as he could feel that it had begun to change to be a stronger beast and Lucius, who saw the process, only smirked seeing it.

Magnus, who had just finished training with his mother, began to go to the side of the room to take some water to drink and rehydrate himself.
Savra, who looked at Magnus, began to smile as she praised him. "You have improved a little, Magnus but still, you are still too weak, as you only landed a hit on me once."
Magnus, who heard it, immediately frowned as he said, "I am still a young person, as I am still 20 years old, so it is common for me to lose to you and also landing a hit on you is good progress."
Savra, who heard it, only nodded. "Okay, but, speaking of progress, it's been hours since Lucius started working with the Lava Turtle. I wonder what his current progress is."
Magnus, who heard it, immediately raised his shoulders as he said, "I don't really know, as the evolution process usually takes 2 to 3 days. Why don't we see him first and check on him?"
Savra, who heard it, immediately nodded. "That's a good idea. It is also dinner time for us so we can also invite him for dinner later."
Savra and Magnus then nodded to each other as they began to go to Lucius' room to see his current progress and invite him for dinner, not knowing that there would be a surprise later.
