In a valley in the Barbarian Forest, in the gathering spot of a monster.

Lorne commanded his pets to fire at a swarm of disgusting forest lizards.

Unlike the marsh crocodile, these monsters were only Level 23 and were easier to kill.

Moreover, the forest lizards liked to gather in the shade, which made it very convenient for Lorne.

While killing the monsters, Lorne also paid attention to the situation in the ruins of the war.

He realized that the players of the large guilds had already entered the ruins. There were already people collecting bones and skeletons.

Some guilds marked the price of the skeletons, wanting to use this opportunity to raise their reputation in the Order faction.

"So rich…"

Lorne smiled coldly as he watched them purchase information like maniacs.

These rich people always liked to play games. Although there was no monetary conversion system in the game, they could persuade other players to work for them.

Therefore, there was no such thing as fairness in this world.

...

"Ding! You have killed a Forest Lizard!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

In the dark valley, Lorne fought for more than an hour.

During this period, he obtained a large amount of bronze coins, hundreds of lizard skins, and a large amount of low quality equipment that he could only sell.

By this time, Aisha's fusion had reached 70%.

There were still four hours before dawn. It was not difficult to complete the goal.

Lorne did not stop. He led the way to the other side of the hill, where a group of strange, greedy dwarfs wandered.

They held stone axes and robbed all the creatures they encountered.

Unfortunately, these dwarfs were only ordinary level 25 monsters. They could not kill a rich human adventurer like Lorne.

On the contrary, the two pets, Small Artillery and Venom, hunted the ugly dwarfs crazily on both sides of the hill.

Ding!

"Congratulations on obtaining the material: [Heart of Greed]."

As he cleaned up the battlefield, Lorne obtained an interesting material.

Heart of Greed?

It was a good name.

It felt grand and mighty.

"Let's find a monster to merge."

Lorne was interested in the material.

In any case, there was no need to keep the other party as a pet. If he really did not like it, he could release it when the time came.

He put away the materials and continued forward.

...

Finally, after clearing a cave in the wilderness, Lorne discovered an interesting monster.

They were a group of talking bat monsters.

It was called the 'Long Tongue Bat'.

When he saw the monster, Lorne immediately thought of the 'Scout' position.

If there was a flying pet in the team, it would be more efficient to find monsters in the future, and there would be no need to wander around aimlessly like this.

There was not much to say. He would try to synthesize it first.

Lorne grabbed a long-tongued bat and threw it into the synthesis formula.

Then, he searched through his bag for the synthesized materials.

There were many materials that could be synthesized.

But not many were suitable.

Lorne could only choose some muscles that increased its strength, and then he threw in a Heart of Greed.

Ding!

"A prototype material and body part materials have been confirmed. The synthesis formula is: (Long Tongue Bat) + (Jungle Panther's Muscle) + (Heart of Greed) = (???)"

"The cost is 1 gold coin. Would you like to merge?"

This actually cost 1 gold coin?

The cost of the merge surprised Lorne.

To be honest, these materials were very low-level. The prototype monster was only an ordinary monster, but he did not expect it to have such high potential.

"Merge." Lorne quickly answered.

The next moment, the system notification sounded.

Ding!

"Congratulations on obtaining a Bronze-Grade Monster: Greedy Long Tongue Bat!"

With that, the light at the scene dissipated.

What appeared in front of Lorne was a huge bat that looked a little human. It was covered in thick skin and had no fur. Its human-like face was very wretched, and it looked like an overly smart merchant.

As for its tail, it was very long and thin.

This entire body looked very different from ordinary bats.

If he wanted to let Lorne judge, he wanted to classify the creature as part of the manta ray category.

The moment the Greedy Long Tongue Bat saw Lorne, it immediately said respectfully, "Oh, my dear master, thank you for your help. Please let me stay by your side and contribute my strength."

Looking at such an active pet, even Lorne could not help but be stunned.

Then he shook his head and smiled.

Lorne was not sure what he had created, but he had a feeling that this guy was not normal at all.

[Greedy Long Tongue Bat] (Contract Possible)

Grade: Bronze

Level: 1 (0 / 1200)

HP: 1500 / 1500

Magic Attack: 150-220

Defense: 50

Superiority: 94%

Introduction: A greedy long-tongued bat. Don't let it hear your secret, or else you will have to give it enough gold coins to shut it up.

"The attributes are not bad." Lorne nodded, surprised.

Perhaps because the monsters in the main city had stronger basic attributes, the monsters that were created in the end also had attributes that were far superior to before.

As a Silver monster, Small Artillery only had 260 Attack Points at Level 1. It only had 40 more Attack Points than the long tongue bat.

It seemed that the synthesis formula was very good, this could be seen from the superiority level.

Pets that reached 90% superiority were very successful examples.

'Should I swap out Little Mantis?' Lorne rubbed his chin in thought.

Little Mantis was basically useless in battle.

If the long tongue bat replaced it, the damage output of the team might not increase, but their investigative ability would definitely increase greatly.

With that in mind, Lorne decided to switch pets.

However, the quality of the long tongue bat in front of him was slightly inferior.

Under the previous hill, Lorne had obtained a few higher quality Hearts of Greed, so he wanted to create a better quality long tongue bat.

...

Ding!

"Congratulations on obtaining a Bronze-Grade Monster: Greedy Long Tongue Bat!"

"Congratulations on obtaining an Elite Monster: Greedy Long Tongue Bat!"

"Congratulations on obtaining an Ordinary Monster: Greedy Long Tongue Bat!"

"..."

"Congratulations on obtaining the Silver Monster: Greedy Long Tongue Bat!"

After more than an hour, Lorne finally created a long tongue bat that he was satisfied with.

The moment he had the scout, Lorne had been eager to test its effect.

The long tongue bats that he created earlier were released and seemed to have smelled gold coins as they rushed into the ruins.

Then, one great tragedy happened after the other. As they listened to the secrets of the monsters and players, many were soon blackmailed.
