Suspicious Lucius

Ragnar, Savra and Magnus had left the room, leaving Lucius all alone with the Lava Turtle. Ragnar then looked at Savra and began to say something.

"What do you think, Savra? Is there a high chance that this kid, Lucius, is perhaps a scammer?" Ragnar asked Savra, as he didn't really believe Lucius as this was their first time meeting.

Savra turned to Ragnar and smiled, "I don't think he is a scammer when I look at his confident face but still, I am only 80% sure about it, but who knows?"

Ragnar, who heard Savra's words, was a bit surprised. "80%? It is quite high when you are the one who says it but still, I am only 50% sure. I will need to see the result if he wants me to believe him."

Magnus, who heard his parents talking, didn't talk at all. Magnus was also curious whether Lucius was a scammer or not, as a young Evolist from a village was never heard of.

Savra then turned toward his son, Magnus and asked him. "Magnus, you are the one who brings him here so what do you think? Is he a scammer or not?"

Magnus looked at his mother and said, "I am only about 75% sure about him. He is so confident and calm that it immediately makes me believe him."

Magnus then said again with a frown, "But if by any chance he is a scammer, then I will immediately do what we usually do to people like him." Magnus then crossed his neck with his hand.

Ragnar, who looked at Magnus, smiled and said, "Good. You are really our son. If he is a scammer, kill him; if he is a real one, then you and him will be rewarded."

Magnus, who heard it, immediately smiled and nodded. "Yes, father. Don't you worry about it, as I believe that he is not a scammer."

Savra, on the other hand, began to smile and said, "We will see soon enough if he is a scammer or not. For now, let him work, as I heard that some trainee Evolist took a day to work."

The three of them then immediately walked away and each of them had some hopes that Lucius was a real one, as if it were true, then their family would raise greatly.

Lucius then looked at the Lava Turtle and immediately told the system, "System, hack it to be a bit dumber so it will be obedient to me and also make it forget anything when I mod it later."

The reason why Lucius firstly requested this mod was to be careful. In the past, Lucius never made this request so all the beasts that he hacked in his past life told their tamer about his ability.

After he thought about it, he felt a bit dumb about why he was such a showoff in his past life, and because of that, just after a year, he was hunted and became the sacred tree.

This time, Lucius didn't want to make a second mistake, so he immediately hacked it first to forget anything so his system would stay a secret and would not invite evil people anymore.

[1 Hour: 100 HP]

Lucius, who saw the price, was not surprised, "Not too high of a price seeing that this beast is only a 2-Star Lava Turtle."

Lucius remembered that the price from the system would be different according to the level of the beast that he hacked. The price will be increased by ten times for each level different so it could be made like this.

[1 Star : 10 HP]

[2 Star : 100 HP]

[3 Star : 1.000 HP]

[4 Star : 10.000 HP]

Lucius then immediately told the system to do his earlier request after seeing the price: "System, launch the hack that I said earlier to make this Lava Turtle dumb and forgetful."

Lucius could see that his points were reduced by 100 points but it didn't hurt Lucius as it was not too big of a price.

Soon the system immediately worked as the Lava Turtle began to change. His eyes looked emptier now as the Lava Turtle was now waiting for Lucius' instruction.

Lucius smiled after looking at the current Lava Turtle and decided to test it to see if the mod was really activated or not. "Let's see. Lava Turtle, go to that corner."

The Lava Turtle then began to slowly walk to the corner of the room. Lucius smiled as it really worked and tried to do another test. "Let's see how about lying down for now."

The Lava Turtle then obediently lied down and Lucius smiled even more and began to do the last test, "Now let's see. Shake my hand with your leg."

The Lava Turtle then stood up and moved toward Lucius. He raised his leg to greet Lucius' hand that was already let out.

The moment the turtle greeted Lucius' hand, Lucius immediately shouted out loud as his hand was seared, "Damn it. Why didn't I think it before? The Lava Turtle is a 'LavaTurtle' so its body must be hot."

Lucius, who was now blowing his hand, could only cry a bit, "Damn it! I need to see what kind of beasts first before I touch in the future." Lucius said to himself.

Lucius then looked at the Lava Turtle and said, "Now let's see... What should I evolve you to, huh? Seeing that this is a test, it needs to be a good one but still, no matter what I do, it will be good as you are just too weak."

The Lava Turtle, who was now dumb, only looked at Lucius. It didn't know what the man in front of him was thinking and it only stayed silent.

Lucius then immediately turned to the system, "System, give me the evolution list of this Lava Turtle to me now." Lucius then immediately smirked as he saw the list of the evolutions that were better than he thought.
