Yu Yuan looked at the information on the light screen, his breathing growing rapid.
Mona cast a look of surprise his way.
"Mona, wait a moment!"
Yu Yuan immediately checked the other information.
Unfortunately, the other achievement [Rare Title Route Developer] only rewarded 8000 Achievement Points.
This left Yu Yuan feeling a slight pang of regret.
The power of the ["Devout" Believer] title was undeniable.
Behind the Aurora Animal Assistance Association was the so-called [cult]. Previously, among the entourage of the "Humpback Whale" faction in the southern district, there seemed to be a person suspected of being a religious member. Yu Yuan guessed that person was likely from the [Orthodox Church].
These were all potential resources for strengthening the ["Devout" Believer] title in the future.
As for the talent...
On Yu Yuan's personal information panel, the content for the talent: [Mystic] had already appeared.
This talent ability was not just a little bit stronger. Because Yu Yuan had checked the talent information of Carmen, Alpha, and everyone else.
Their talent abilities basically only had one line of content, but Yu Yuan's talent actually had three effects.
If talents also had grades, then the grade of [Mystic] would definitely not be low.
Naturally, Yu Yuan was happy.
Whether it was the title or the achievement, they were worthy of the effort he had put into completing the [Regional Event—Mysterious Religious Ritual].
Especially considering the consumed Gold-level [Celestial Phenomenon—Ominous Star Twinkling] card.
Now, it could be said that after enduring hardship comes sweetness.
"Profile of the Divine... the potential of this title route is huge..."
Closing the light screen, Yu Yuan looked at Mona again.
"Alright, continue what you were saying. Just now you said that rat entered the Metamorphosis Period? Tell me about that in detail?"
After Mona explained the Metamorphosis Period and the information about Silver-level creatures to Yu Yuan, Yu Yuan's brows furrowed deeply.
"What's wrong? That rat is running around everywhere now. We suspect it's looking for or hiding from something. You don't need to worry." Mona thought Yu Yuan was worried about encountering the [Rat] while going out and tried to comfort him.
However, Yu Yuan's next sentence caused the smile on Mona's face to stiffen slightly.
"You guys are actually right. That rat *is* looking for someone, and the person it's looking for... if nothing unexpected happens, is me."
Yu Yuan shook his head and sighed.
"It's a pity. We discovered its weakness too late back then. We didn't finish it off earlier, and now it's grown into its current state."
"What... you mean you fought with the [Rat] before?"
Mona was utterly astonished.
Even Miller was very wary of that [Rat]. Yu Yuan was just an ordinary person. How could he have fought it and retreated unscathed?
And from the sound of it, he almost finished off the [Rat] back then. That seemed a bit too fantastical.
"At that time, it wasn't as powerful as it is now. Its body length was only about two meters..."
Yu Yuan recounted the situation of the battle back then to Mona.
Mona listened, stunned and bewildered.
"So, back then you shattered one of its eyes and severely wounded it, which forced it to take a desperate risk and devour so many spiritual organs from mutated creatures?"
Yu Yuan nodded lightly.
"That should be the case. Yesterday, we discovered its excrement not far from the sewer. The fecal length was a full 24 centimeters..."
Hearing this, Mona was at a loss for words. The more she learned about this man, the more shocking he became.
However, Yu Yuan asked the question he was more concerned about.
"That rat entered the Metamorphosis Period by accident after devouring so many spiritual organs. Is this kind of situation exceptionally rare?"
Mona calmed her emotions.
"Correct. The evolution of Spiritual Creatures is quite difficult. To use Miller's words, out of ten thousand Spiritual Creatures, not even one might enter the Metamorphosis Period. After entering the Metamorphosis Period, a Spiritual Creature's strength increases rapidly. This is also the reason for the [Rat]'s rapidly growing size and improving strength."
"A Spiritual Creature that has entered the Metamorphosis Period gains the potential to evolve into a Silver-level creature. Once it successfully advances, that Spiritual Creature will undergo a world-shaking evolution, possessing incredible abilities."
Mona recalled what Miller had told her that night.
"Such creatures are also called legendary beings..."
Yu Yuan listened quietly, a contemplative light flashing in his eyes.

After breakfast, everyone began their own work.
Dale plunged into the fourth floor, starting preparations for the mealworms' evolution. Yu Yuan also handed the [Hundred Flowers Nectar] to Dale, entrusting him with the feeding of that giant mealworm.
Additionally, the care of the wild chives, rosemary, and carrots, the feeding of the Cree Mountain sheep, and the monitoring of the Nizi Water Arrow Turtle and the green hairy algae were all handed over to Dale.
In Dale's own words, he never tired of taking care of these plants and animals.
Naturally, Yu Yuan was very happy about this. With Dale sharing the load, he could save time.
Dale had a place to demonstrate his value, which also made him feel more at ease staying here.
Doctor, however, directly dove into the [Spiritual Creature Laboratory]. She really enjoyed her research work now, and she was full of curiosity about Spiritual Creatures, her research enthusiasm running high.
The processed spiritual organs and blood from the King Cobra were all placed in the designated area.
From that snake head, Yu Yuan had managed to extract two fangs and two eyes. Unfortunately, the venom glands were destroyed by the grenade blast.
Masier was organizing the tools and parts Yu Yuan had helped her bring back last night.
Mona, meanwhile, was preparing to leave.
"Are you sure it's okay for you to go back now?" Yu Yuan inquired.
Mona put on the clothes Fang had found for her, frowning slightly.
Her previous clothes were ruined. These clothes belonged to Fang, and the size wasn't quite right, squeezing her chest painfully. In the end, she endured it and said,
"Now is actually the best opportunity for me to return. This can also be considered giving Miller and the others a chance to make their move..."
A message from Carmen also came through.
[Lone Wolf: Er Xiao is returning with the geothermal well supplies. Estimated arrival at the designated location in half an hour.]
Hearing this, Yu Yuan felt a surge of great joy in his heart.
"Finally, they're here."
