Egg: ?
Lin Yi: (‧_‧?)
Suddenly, the scene fell silent, an eerie quietness looming over it.
An awkward air lingered in the atmosphere, refusing to disperse for a long time.
The Third Offeror's legs were shaking uncontrollably at this moment.
As a full-time nanny, his original intention was just not to let the second brother fall from the stands. Instead, he accidentally made him land right on his own egg.
Just how much the Jin E Xiao Douluo adored his egg was something almost all the onlookers had witnessed.
He held it when he slept, he held it when he read, he held it when he was about to commit suicide, he held it when he was depressed, and he even kept it close to himself during attacks.
But now, the egg was shattered, seemingly accompanied by the sound of a breaking heart.
A desolate air began to spread throughout the air.
The Great Priest couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If I knew yesterday that my second brother would come asking me to shine the holy light on his egg, I would have agreed."
Qian Renxue just felt sorry for the old second grandpa, but upon hearing this, she suddenly looked at Thousand Waves with surprise, feeling that there was something odd about that sentence...
Although they had only been together for a day, the egg had already become Jin E Xiao Douluo's dear friend, with both of them feeling a sense of regret for not having met sooner.
Jin E Xiao Douluo looked down at his beloved friend, now shattered beneath him, and could no longer hold back his sorrow, bursting into tears on the stage with a loud "wah."
Lin Yi silently sighed and looked at the panel.
At that moment, his expression subtly changed.
[Blood Loss: 357648]
[Remaining Health: 899968143764]
[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Life Restart Card*1]
[Host Reward: Life Restart Card*10]
This reward made Lin Yi stunned for a moment. What the hell is a Life Restart Card?
Lin Yi quickly checked the explanation provided by the System.
[If you are unsatisfied with everything you have experienced up to this point, you can use this card to begin a new life.]
[However, please note that when you start a new life, identity and species are random.]
[This Experience Card has the effect of resurrection.]
After reading the explanation, Lin Yi understood almost everything.
It seems like this is a restart of life, but in reality, it's an award for how to save the shattered egg!
The System really is intelligent, as it seemed to have predicted even this egg-shattering incident.
Lin Yi looked at Jin E Xiao Douluo who was still sitting on the ground wailing, and said, "Get up, stop crying."
"I don't want to! My egg is broken! She's gone!"
Lin Yi calmly looked at him, "What if I told you that your reward could bring your egg back to life?"
Jin E Xiao Douluo stood up stiffly like a zombie, paused, then wiped his tears and ran towards Lin Yi.
"Really?"
Lin Yi did not respond right away but instead reported the damage according to the steps:
"Damage 357648, Red Intermediate injury."
Jin E Xiao Douluo's expression changed, no wonder the Damage Rebound suddenly became uncontrollable—this time it was about seventy or eighty thousand higher than the last.
"Your reward is the Life Restart Card. This Experience Card allows you to start a new life and it also has the power to resurrect. However, the identity and species of the new life are random."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Gu Yuena included.
They had heard of miraculous elixirs that could bring the dead back to flesh and bone, but they had never heard of a card that could restart a life and resurrect!
It was magical, astonishing, and preposterous.
But the fact that Lin Yi could produce such shocking rewards was no longer surprising.
After all, he is Lin Yi.
After introducing it, Lin Yi flicked a red orb of light towards the Jin E Xiao Douluo, which turned into a black and white card with intricate patterns in mid-air.
Just as Jin E Xiao Douluo was about to use the card on the shattered egg, Thousand Waves suddenly spoke up seriously, "Second brother!"
Jin E Xiao Douluo turned his head to look at him.
Thousand Waves frowned, "Are you really going to use this card on an egg? Since the card can resurrect, you should understand the preciousness of this reward."
Jin E Xiao Douluo's expression became just as serious, "She is my most beloved egg, maybe there's a Big Dragon inside!"
Your most beloved egg... how many eggs have you ever had? Thousand Waves couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Lin Yi reminded, "Once you use the Life Restart Card, it may not come back as the same species."
"As long as it's still her, it's enough!"
Jin E Xiao Douluo shouted and grabbed the card from the air, crushed it forcefully, and applied its effects entirely on the shattered egg spreading across the floor.
This "unfinished human egg" scene left Lin Yi utterly moved.
All the Soul Masters curiously crowded forward to watch, even the aloof Gu Yuena couldn't help but crane her neck.
A flash of golden light swept across the platform, and all the egg liquid suddenly converged towards the center, turning into…
A giant cocoon!
How big was it?
The cocoon was about ten meters long and around three meters in diameter, with a faint blue glow all over it, and something could even be seen wriggling inside.
Lin Yi furrowed his brows slightly, why did he feel this cocoon seemed familiar?
"Could it be Big Dragon inside?"
Jin E Xiao Douluo couldn't help but ask.
"Have you ever seen a dragon that was a cocoon as a child?!"
Thousand Waves couldn't help but retort.
Regardless of whether or not the cocoon was a dragon, its size alone implied its extraordinary status.
"Let's finish the second attack first, then take the cocoon with us."
Lin Yi said, as he could see from the system panel when the cocoon would finish hatching, it was still five days, continuing the previous egg's hatching time.
Jin E Xiao Douluo immediately nodded; he wanted to take the cocoon back and have a proper conversation with it to see if Egg, which had restarted its life, still recognized him, Golden Crocodile.
Jin E Xiao Douluo's second attack was noticeably more restrained, acting indeed like a child, the damage dealt was totally dependent on his mood.
Lin Yi looked towards the panel.
[Damage: 264358]
[Remaining Health: 899967878643]
[Damage Level: Black Advanced Level (Quality Downgraded)]
[Random Reward: Growth Spirit Stone]
[Host Reward: Growth Immortal Stone]
"Damage 264358, because it's less than the last damage, so the quality downgraded to Black Advanced Level, your reward is a Growth Spirit Stone."
Jin E Xiao Douluo, upon hearing that his reward was downgraded, wasn't too upset; he was now just eager to go back and have a chat with his "new pet."
Lin Yi flicked the orb of light toward him, and Jin E Xiao Douluo caught the Growth Spirit Stone in his hand.
But at this moment, his expression on his little face suddenly froze for a moment.
"Senior, this Growth Spirit Stone, can it make the baby inside the cocoon hatch prematurely?"
Lin Yi widened his eyes upon hearing this, and then squinted them.
A Growth Spirit Stone used on a Soul Master would enhance their Soul Power, on a soul beast would extend its lifespan, but on this cocoon...
It really was hard to say!
He looked calmly at Jin E Xiao Douluo, "You can try it."
Without hearing a negative from Lin Yi, Jin E Xiao Douluo suddenly became excited.
Was he going to meet his pet sooner than expected?!
The others below also heard their conversation and couldn't help but start discussing it.
Di Tian couldn't help but whisper to Bi Ji: "Bi Ji, were you born from an egg?"
"Yes, what about you, boss?"
"Me too."
Di Tian glanced at Bi Ji: "Then can you lay eggs?"
Bi Ji: "… I refuse to answer."
She then nudged Di Tian with her hand: "You go ask the Great Priest if she can lay eggs?"
Di Tian then glanced at Gu Yuena's cold side face, and he could probably imagine the consequences if he dared to ask that question.
"… Haha, good humor, Goose Goose, I won't ask."
...
On the stage, Jin E Xiao Douluo walked toward the cocoon with the Growth Spirit Stone.
He crushed the Growth Spirit Stone and tossed it onto the cocoon.
After the stone fused with it, the huge cocoon suddenly emitted a strong blue light.
The light flickered, and the entire cocoon trembled violently, as if some massive creature was about to burst forth.
Buzzing sounds began emitting from the cocoon, growing faster and faster.
Jin E Xiao Douluo couldn't help but step back.
His face was filled with shock.
