"Have you decided what to trade with him?"
"certainly!"
Peggy pinched her waist, showing an expression of victory.
"We can use the magical beasts that appear from the grimoire to trade with Dean. I don't believe he won't be tempted!"
Sigma is not optimistic about this.
"A magical beast that can only exist for half a day has very limited appeal..."
"And you're not even sure if they count as monsters."
"Didalif said yes, how could it be false?"
Sigma continued to criticize like a bully: "Didalif's 'appraisal' also has limitations, your Warcraft..."
"What a shame! It's none of your business."
Peggy interrupted him rudely, showing an irresponsible face.
"I'm only responsible for providing rewards. As for whether it's a Warcraft or not, and whether it can breed a Demon Pet, hey, brother! That's something Dean should consider!"
"All you and I need to do is impress him!"
After saying that, she curled her lips, showing a slick posture that was completely inconsistent with her pink appearance.
Sigma couldn't refute, so he could only wrap himself in the black invisibility cloak obediently, follow Peggy, and sneak out.
The two of them avoided other professionals in the corridor, went deeper, and successfully walked on the road to the fifth floor.
Finally, before the invisibility cloak expired, they successfully arrived at the breeder's door and met Lucy, who had forgotten to come.
And Dean just walked out of the door.
"...How are you?"
The invisibility cloak turned into little bits of energy and dissipated from her shoulders. Peggy waved her hands awkwardly, revealing two particularly obvious rabbit teeth.
Under the illumination of the indoor desk lamp, it seemed to be sparkling.
…
After listening to Peggy's account, Dean roughly understood the reason why the two strangers came to the door.
He glanced at Peggy, who apologized honestly and looked extremely sincere, and Sigma, who had a relatively low presence beside her, and said nothing.
Under the increasingly uneasy gazes of the two visitors, Dean poured himself a cup of tea.
Steam rose from the white cup. He stared at the tea for a moment before suddenly laughing.
"sit down."
Peggy took Sigma and sat opposite Dean.
I don’t know why, but when she came, she made a lot of promises and boasted for a while, as if she could catch the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the five oceans. However, when she faced Dean in person, Peggy couldn’t help but start to feel weak.
The aura is so strong.
She whispered to herself.
He was obviously not a few years older than her, but he didn't look like someone of the same age at all.
It's not that Dean looks anxious, it's just that aura...
It makes people feel that he is worthy of being a man of great influence in the empire.
Dean raised his chin and said to Sigma: "Let's first talk about the problems you have. No matter how tempting the reward is, it depends on whether I can pick it up, right?"
Peggy immediately turned to look at Sigma and used her eyes to signal him to cooperate. However, this time, she obviously thought too much. Since Sigma took the risk, he would definitely not waste this opportunity.
He gave the answer cooperatively: "My ability is quite special. It can increase the cultivation speed of people around me within a certain range."
After saying that, Sigma looked directly at Dean, as if he wanted to observe his reaction after hearing this information.
However, what disappointed him was that this news, which was supposed to be shocking, did not achieve the effect he had expected.
Dean didn't even blink, which made Sigma feel as if he had thrown a pebble, but didn't even make a splash.
"so what?"
After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of tea, Dean looked at Sigma and made a listening expression.
Sigma continued: "This increase is beyond my control."
"According to people who have experienced this increase, when you stay by my side, not only your physical training will be increased, but your thinking speed will also be increased accordingly when you think. It is a very mysterious state."
"Every time you experience it, you will gain a lot."
Dean commented objectively: "It does sound like a very strong ability."
"That's right."
Sigma does not deny the excellence of this ability, but...
"It would be better if the cost of using this ability is not my lifespan."
Passive at the cost of longevity?
Dean raised his eyes and looked at Sigma carefully, focusing on his pale face and thin body.
It was also during this inspection that he discovered that Sigma looked healthy, but in fact it was all supported by his appearance. Looking closely at the fluctuations in his life, he was barely doing better than Wilmer.
He was convinced.
If this is the case, it is indeed a bit miserable.
Who would be willing to sacrifice one's own lifespan in exchange for the acceleration of other people's cultivation?
In the words of Blue Star, it is a typical portrayal of "the temple is empty but the Bodhisattva is around".
"Actually, Sigma's ability was not that strong at the beginning."
Paige added from the sidelines.
"In the past, although he also had amplification abilities, they were only in very common directions, such as attack power, defense power, or movement speed. They were not very outstanding, and the consumption of life span was relatively small."
"Coupled with the limitation of the scope of influence, just be careful to avoid people."
"But I don't know when Sigma's ability suddenly mutated. After it stabilized, it became what it is now."
"Not only has the effect changed, but the consumption of life span has suddenly increased several times."
"Coupled with the uncontrollable passive acceleration, the price is really too high..."
Looking at the indignant look on her face, Dean nodded. He didn't ask why he could avoid people before, but now he couldn't continue to use the previous plan, and he didn't suggest that people around him should practice without him. Guessing Sigma's experience from Peggy's unspoken words.
He said directly: "I roughly understand the situation, so what do you want me to do?"
"Can you change his abilities? Or breed a kind of demon pet to drain away this bloodline in a way that does not harm Sigma's body and cultivation talent?"
She leaned forward with an expectant expression.
"...You can give it a try."
Dean crossed his legs and answered vaguely.
However, it was probably his aura of performance before that gave Peggy too much confidence. When she heard this uncertain answer, she stood up with excitement as if she had been given a shot of blood.
"As long as you can do it, you don't even need to completely solve it. Even if you just solve the problem of lifespan cost, I can provide a large number of rare monsters for the breeding house to choose from!"
