Monster Genesis

The first round of the lottery, Lin Han gained nothing.

In the second round, Lin Han received a total of 250 Authority Points, as well as a set of the boss lady's photo collection.

Moreover, in that second round, he drew a full refund!

Which meant it was free!

The boss lady looked at Lin Han with some embarrassment and quietly asked, "Um~ Mr. Lin~ may I have my photo collection back~ I can buy it with money..."

Lin Han replied righteously, "No! If I give it back to you, someone else might draw it again. It's better kept with me!"

"Ah… That was my only set. It must have been YaYa's mischief, accidentally putting it in. I'll be more careful next time~"

"Doesn't matter. Still not giving it back!"

Seeing how stubborn Lin Han was, the boss lady had no way around it.

After all, he won it fair and square through the lottery. She couldn't just take it by force, right?

"Mr. Lin..."

"No need for more words. Another 100-draw round!"

He had just said he wouldn't take advantage of the boss lady's 100 Authority Points. Since he got a free round from the second draw, he'd do another round to make up for it!

The boss lady could only open the light screen again.

Lin Han once again offered 100 Authority Points!

As the sounds of 'clang, clang, clang, clang' echoed from the smashing of jars, the eyeballs of those in the tavern nearly popped out...

Nothing else needed to be said.

Just tossing out 200 Authority Points today!

That alone was already outrageous!

And with Lin Han holding so many Authority Points, he became the object of everyone's envy.

Envy, jealousy, and hate!

Jealous enough to catch a literal eye infection!

Let alone 200, even if someone got 50 Authority Points, they'd be jumping for joy to the third floor!

In the early stages of "The Creator," every Creator's need for Authority Points is like a man in a desert needing water!

With a large number of Authority Points, one can use Supreme Authority to forcibly intervene!

Let creations develop faster!

One step ahead, then every step ahead!

Who doesn't want to be the first civilization to reach the space stage?!

But then again...

Just who exactly was this young man?

At first, the tavern guests thought this guy was just a naïve greenhorn, attracted by the mature charm of the boss lady.

But thinking more carefully now...

That didn't seem to be the whole story!

Who wouldn't be attracted by the boss lady's beauty?

More importantly… who could pull out 10 Authority Points yesterday just to gamble?

And who could bring out 100 Authority Points today for another draw?!

They had thought Lin Han had blown all of his 160 Authority Points from yesterday's draw.

After all, he said "most of my power is in the sea."

Which made people think this young man messed up and dumped his creations into the ocean's cradle.

But if he had squandered all 160 Authority Points, how could he still calmly bring out another 100 today?

Clearly—

Not only did he not waste them, he even...

That meant what he said might really be true!

His developing power might really be mostly in the sea!

And if we nitpick his wording—he said "most"... which means some have already landed on land?!

Reaching land just a day and a half into the game?!

The more they thought, the scarier it became!

The thoughts of the tavern guests were extremely complicated.

But on the light screen in front of the boss lady, all 100 jars had already been smashed.

Lin Han, the one in question, didn't bother to pay attention to the guests.

"Empty jar~"

"Empty jar~"

"Empty jar~"

...

"Congratulations~ Mr. Lin~ you've obtained 10 random unicellular creations!"

"Congratulations~ Mr. Lin~ you've obtained one A-rank Mutation Card!"

"Ah, this A-rank Mutation Card can cause a creation in the biological stage to undergo an A-level or higher mutation, with a chance to generate a rare species!"

"Congratulations~ Mr. Lin~ you've obtained a one-year free meal voucher from the tavern!"

"Ah, this meal voucher cannot be stacked, but Mr. Lin, you can gift it to someone else!"

Lin Han smiled and replied, "Then give the voucher to YaYa. I don't have any friends in this place anyway."

The boss lady smiled gently and accepted Lin Han's kind gesture.

And she replied, "If you don't have any friends… I can be your friend~"

"Sure."

The crowd looked at Lin Han—who was practically "one in a billion"—and felt utterly crushed inside.

They'd been ogling the boss lady for years, and never once received so much as a slightly different greeting from her.

But this kid? He'd only been here twice, and now they were already this close?!

Even if they were "just friends" for now…

The tavern guests, under the influence of alcohol, had already mentally played out the entire future of the relationship.

It was unbearable.

It was like Lin Han had stolen their wife right in front of them!

Men know men. Once things reach this stage, as long as the guy doesn't mess up, everything after this is just a matter of time…

So sour!

So mad!

The guests glared at Lin Han with eyes red with jealousy, practically ready to eat him alive!

But what could they do?

The city was a safe zone. Anyone who stirred up trouble would be swarmed by patrol bots in under ten seconds and dragged off to a black cell—minimum sentence: fifteen days!

Civilized society means obeying the law.

Lin Han had drawn three rounds of lottery already, and whether it was due to him being the creator of YaYa and her mother or something else, he always seemed to win something good.

Authority Points didn't really matter to him anymore.

What he truly cared about… was that one item.

An A-Rank Mutation Card!

This item could cause a creature still in the biological stage to undergo a powerful mutation!

And the mutation would start at A-rank and could go even higher!

His Tyrant King in perfect form had been evaluated as an S-rank creature.

And above A-rank… is S-rank!

If he got lucky, he might just gain another S-rank creation.

Now the question was: who should he use the card on?

The Thunder Tyrant King Big Brother?

Or the Black Wind God Tyrant King?

The Thunder Tyrant King had the advantage of establishing the world's first tribe, and it was steadily growing in strength.

The Black Wind God Tyrant King, on the other hand, looked like a dragon and was fierce and deadly in the hunt.

The Thunder Tyrant King's weakness was his gentle nature—too soft for a monster, not ruthless enough.

The Black Wind God Tyrant King's flaw was its slow development—it had taken 50 Authority Points just to grow this much.

Back and forth...

They seemed evenly matched.

Each had strengths and weaknesses.

After careful thought…

Lin Han ultimately decided to use the A-Rank Mutation Card on the Black Wind God Tyrant King.

The card would cause a mutation of at least A-rank in a biological-stage creation, and there was a chance it could evolve into a rare species.

A-rank alone wasn't worth getting excited over.

But a rare species? That… Lin Han really wanted to see.

The Black Wind God Tyrant King already looked like a dragon. If it could mutate further in that direction…

Then the card would be well worth it.

So—

After chatting a bit more with the boss lady…

Lin Han directly logged into The Creator right there in the tavern.
