Chapter 148: Evolution, And Skill Evolution - Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster

“Hmm…” Zafira hummed in amusement as she rested on her throne, which was now fitted with comfortable pillows.

“It’s not a bad plan.”

Rael’s brows twitched. “But?”

“But it’s too optimistic,” Zafira added. “If I had to grade your plan, it would be a B, with A+ being the highest. First of all, you’re underestimating their intelligence. Second of all… where’s the backup plan?”

“Backup plan…”

Zafira sighed. “Your plan is good, but it’s too linear. Set up some contingencies. Like, what if Linlin and her sister can’t destroy the supplies because everyone except the envoy’s leader is guarding them?”

Before he could reply, she continued. “What if they get caught? How will your ‘we defend, not attack’ plan go then? As it stands, if they don’t execute everything perfectly, then we’re going to become aggressors.”

Fuck… Rael scratched his cheek. I sure am glad I came to her for this.

He was pretty optimistic about his plan. But as she just pointed out, he forgot the contingency plans in case something went wrong.

The Aria card would also have to be reconsidered since there were many things that could go wrong. Such as Halemire not giving a single fuck about her.

He has 11 daughters, so what was one less?

While I doubt that’s the case, it doesn’t hurt to have that possibility in the back of my mind, Rael thought with a sigh.

“Thank you, Zafira,” he said. “I’ll rework some things before sending them off.”

“Mhm.” Zafira nodded with a smirk and held out her hand expectantly.

Rael stared at her open palm for a moment before finally giving in. “Fine…”

He opened the premium shop, purchased a tray of salmon, and handed a piece to her.

“Hope you enjoy, and again, relax. I got this,” Rael added. “I assume you still have some stuff to take care of, especially the previous king’s rulings, so I’ll head to our mansion for a bit. Don’t enter my room unless it’s important, alright?”

“Jeez… I wanted to not think of those documents for at least the next five minutes…” Zafira slumped in her throne. “Don’t overdo it. Don’t get hurt. Don’t—”

“Yeah yeah, I understand,” Rael cut her off with a smile as he approached and patted her on the head.

“See you in a few hours.”

With that, he went behind the throne, tapped on the blue star, and went back inside the mansion.

He had picked his room, and it was one of the bigger ones. Frankly, Zafira’s room was the same size.

Yet, there was one more room that was even bigger… but he’d save that for a certain time.

Nonetheless, Rael sat on his bed, and the first thing on the agenda was obviously evolution.

Therefore, he lay on the bed and got right to it.

<Cost: 1,111,000,000 Trell>

<Note: The user will gain bonus stats.>

Well… thankfully I came prepared, Rael thought with a smirk as he inspected the item in his hands.

—Sleeping Potion (Uncommon)

Puts the user to sleep for 30 seconds. Only works if the user is willing. The user will not wake up under any circumstances in those 30 seconds.

For a steep price of 1 million Trell, he got insurance. So, with confidence, Rael accepted the evolution.

<Success!>

And just as the sharp pain jolted through his body, Rael chugged the sleeping potion.

Immediately, he fell back on the bed, almost lifeless. But not even a moment later, he sat back up.

His body was slightly sore, however, it seemed like the evolution had passed.

That was way too trippy… but at least I found a cheat code, Rael snickered as he checked the evolution pop-ups.

Cost: 500,000,000 MP

Hmm… Rael nodded in satisfaction.

The effects were great, and despite his race changing to something so simple, he didn’t mind it.

No appearance changes—he didn’t really feel any physical differences, for that matter.

Instead, he just felt slightly sleepy in the back of his mind.

But that’s probably from the skill… if I focus, I can get rid of the urge, Rael thought and moved on to other matters.

<Cost: 53,853,000 Trell>

Yeppers. Rael swiftly accepted, and a few moments later, his new skill was revealed.

However, he wasn’t done there, as he proceeded to select another skill.

<Cost: 828,054,000 Trell>

Rael sighed. That’s so expensive… But I need a chonky damage skill to back up my Violin Blade and mental attacks.

With that, he accepted, spending nearly a billion in one go and getting his new skill.

Rael’s brows twitched in excitement as he went ahead and inspected the skill.
