This second mutant egg was the largest among them, about half the height of a human. Lin Jin was curious as to what would hatch from such a large egg.
He reached out to touch it.
The Museum of Deadly Beasts immediately prompted him to record the second mutant egg.
"Mutant egg. Rank 2. Fire attribute. Can hatch a fire-scaled tyrannosaurus."
"There are two incubation conditions for this egg, which are …"
"Nourishment method. There is a certain chance to raise the initial level up to Rank 3. There are three methods, which are …"
"There are three blood contract methods, which are …"
Lin Jin read through the descriptions one by one, feeling shocked beyond words.
This was what a pet beast should be like.
The Museum of Deadly Beasts had an amazing feature. Even if it was a beast egg, one could still see what it would look like after it hatched. Right now, Lin Jin was staring at a behemoth over ten feet tall with fiery scales all over its body.
If this thing was properly taken care of, it would be a Rank 3 pet beast upon hatching. Although forming a blood contract would be a little troublesome with complicated procedures and materials required, just imagining how terrifying it would be if it could start off as a Rank 3.
Also, this tyrannosaurus' potential had reached 5.
What did this mean?
It meant that if all went well, it could evolve into Rank 5 in the future.
In Maple City, Rank 3 pet beasts were as rare as a phoenix's feather, so how terrifying a Rank 5 pet beast would be? Even an idiot would know. Moreover, this tyrannosaurus also had a 'fire dragon bloodline', which was a huge plus.
Truth be told, Lin Jin would be lying if he didn't feel tempted by a pet beast of this level and potential. Forget the fact that Xiao Huo couldn't compare to this creature, this one was the most impressive of all the pet beasts Lin Jin had collected so far.
It would be great if he could tame it and form a blood contract with it.
Lin Jin knew that he was just thinking about it. Forget the fact that this beast egg wasn't his, even if it was, the harsh nurturing and incubation conditions were enough to make him shrink back.
Roughly estimating, just incubating this thing would cost up to a thousand spirit stones. And it wasn't just a thousand low-grade spirit stones, but a thousand intermediate-grade spirit stones.
Lin Jin counted with his fingers. With his current salary, he would need a hundred years to save up that much even if he didn't eat or drink.
And this was just the cost of incubation. Once his blood contract evolved, it would be a bottomless pit.
It was better to write an evaluation report.
Lin Jin finished his evaluation. Of course, he had carefully considered the contents of the evaluation and chose the most common methods. After he was done, he moved on to the next one.
This speed was many times faster than Wang Ji and Gao Jiang.
"Tier 1 Venomous Cloud Python, dual attributes of earth and wood. It's rare, but it's a pity that its potential is average."
"Grade 1 Gold Breaking Toucan, metal attribute, ordinary, but it can fly, so it's not bad."
"A Tier 2 Poison Skin Velociraptor. This is good. It's fast, but its special characteristic is a little funny. Poison Skin? Does it rely on others to bite it?"
"Rank 1 Black Armored Scorpion … Rank 1 Black Water Lizard …"
Lin Jin continued appraising and writing. Soon, the number of mutated eggs recorded in the museum reached ten.
At this moment, the Museum of Deadly Beasts glowed with a golden light. Clouds floated in the air, and lightning could be vaguely seen. Then, thunder boomed. In the next instant, a wooden spiral staircase appeared inside the museum, connecting to the second floor. As the fog receded, a door appeared on the second floor.
With a single thought, Lin Jin went up the stairs to the entrance of the museum's second floor. The second floor was obviously spacious. Everywhere else was still shrouded in fog, but because more than ten mutated eggs had been recorded, this door was revealed.
The door was made of metal with complicated patterns on it. Lin Jin was nervous, wondering what was behind this door. After some thought, since the Museum of Deadly Beasts belonged to him, there shouldn't be any danger. So, he made up his mind and pushed the door open.
The door opened.
Inside was a room.
This room was huge and spacious. It had two floors and there were twenty wooden doors on both sides of the first floor. Each door was labeled with a number.
From one to twenty.
Lin Jin had no idea what this place was for. He thought it would be the same as before where the Museum of Deadly Beasts would give him a reward. But now, he was given a room like this.
However, Lin Jin soon realized something was off. Ever since he entered this room, it felt like his body had entered as well. He touched his arms and clothes, and they felt real.
"That's odd."
Lin Jin was currently on the second floor of this room. Peeking around, he noticed a wooden plaque hanging behind the door.
Walking over, he took the wooden plaque down. The word 'Curator' was written on the front while a few lines of smaller words were written on the back.
"Mystical magic, changes in the universe. Capable people with special talents, fated ones as guests, beasts visit the hall!"
Lin Jin was baffled. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his finger that was holding the wooden plaque. His grip loosened and the wooden plaque fell to the ground. When he looked at his finger again, it looked like it had been bitten by something as blood was seeping out.
Lin Jin's expression darkened. Why was this wooden plaque biting him?
Just then, he vaguely heard someone calling him so he turned around and walked out. Lin Jin didn't notice that his blood had seeped into the wooden plaque under his feet. At the same time, three wooden doors on the first floor glowed with an odd light.
The moment he stepped out, Lin Jin's vision changed. When he looked again, he was already in the association's beast appraisal hall.
An apprentice beast appraiser was looking around. "Appraiser Lin? Appraiser Lin? "
Lin Jin coughed. "I'm here!"
Startled, the apprentice turned to look at Lin Jin and was instantly displeased. "Appraiser Lin, where did you go just now? I couldn't find you anywhere. "
He sounded like he was blaming Lin Jin.
Since he was Chief Wang Ji's subordinate, Lin Jin couldn't be bothered to argue with him. With a straight face, he asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
The apprentice answered, "The chief asked me to be on night duty to prepare some gifts for delivery tomorrow. Also, I wanted to see if there's anything you need, Appraiser Lin."
That last sentence was obviously meant to be polite. However, Lin Jin didn't hold back. "I do. Beast appraising takes a lot of effort. Go and get some food and wine. I haven't had dinner yet."
The apprentice cursed himself for being rude but he could only go and prepare the food. There was food, but wine? Lin Jin, keep dreaming. Forget about not giving it to you, even if I gave it to you, would you dare to drink it?
The apprentice left to get the food. Lin Jin glanced at the table in front of him. There were some gifts, including some calligraphy and paintings. It must have been brought by that apprentice.
'That's odd. Didn't he see me just now? ' Lin Jin found it odd because his psyche had entered the Museum of Deadly Beasts, not his body. How could he not see a living person sitting here?
Unless …
Lin Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He recalled how he felt in that room earlier and the fact that the apprentice didn't see him.
'Unless my body really went in there! '
Lin Jin was a little apprehensive. If he wasn't mistaken, the Visitation Hall was the Museum of Deadly Beasts' new reward. However, Lin Jin had yet to figure out what it was used for. Moreover, it was strange that his real body could enter that place.
