Chapter 825 - White Leopard Ca (1/2)

Before long, Guo Huai sent over all the data he had collected on World’s Edge. Nie Yan skimmed over the documents. It told of a grand city in the sky the angels had constructed in World’s Edge, one of their territories. The lord was Archangel Tallod’s older brother, Upton. When the demons launched their assault, Upton defended the city with his life and dealt disastrous losses to them. In the final battle, he pierced Demon King Utred’s heart with his blade. In turn, with his dying breath, Demon King Utred cast a curse on Upton.

Peace returned to World’s Edge. But as time passed, Upton was gradually taken over by the curse. His temper became more explosive, and he drove Tallod out of the city. After several decades, he fell from grace and became a fallen angel, the lord of a world shrouded in darkness.

This was the origin of World’s Edge.The task now fell on the players to bring peace back to this place by defeating Upton, a Level 200 Demonified Lord who stood on par with true gods.

Every mini boss in World’s Edge dropped special quest items. All of them had to be killed in order to meet the final boss Fallen Angel Upton.

At this stage of the game, Fallen Angel Upton was an invincible super boss no player had a chance of prevailing against.

Nie Yan planned to have the 1,000-man expedition team raise their levels and gear quality first. As he walked out of the Starry Night Potion Shop, he received a message from Xie Yao.

「Nie Yan, I hatched that egg we found back in the World of Darkness.」

「What hatched out of the egg?」Nie Yan asked, as the memory of this egg resurfaced.

「It’s a White Leopard Cat...」Xie Yao replied, sounding somewhat troubled. Of all the things that could’ve hatched from the egg, she didn’t expect something like this. It wasn’t much bigger than a regular cat, and she could carry it in her arms. Such a small pet was usually only good for its appearance and didn’t have any combat ability.

「A White Leopard Cat?」Nie Yan blurted out in surprise. He instantly recalled something and asked,「What sort of innate talents does it have?」

「It has one that buffs speed.」

「Anything related to poison?」

「Yeah, its attacks deal additional poison damage.」

「What’s its Growth Rate?」

「Only 15...」

「It’s a good pet! Feed it that Evolution Crystal,」Nie Yan said. Since the White Leopard Cat had just hatched, this was the best time to feed it an Evolution Crystal.

「Really? The Evolution Crystal? To this White Leopard Cat…?」Xie Yao asked in doubt. Wouldn’t that be a massive waste? After all, the Evolution Crystal was exceedingly rare and precious, whereas the Leopard Cat’s stats were pretty much garbage tier.

「Trust me. It’s fine. It’ll give you a pleasant surprise,」Nie Yan said with a mysterious smile. He recalled a White Leopard Cat in the previous timeline. It had the same innate talents as Xie Yao’s. After it had entered the pet ranking leaderboards, it never left the top three again.

The White Leopard Cat back then only had a Growth Rate of 12. Xie Yao’s had a Growth Rate of 15. This was already a big improvement.

Nie Yan couldn’t explain why the White Leopard Cat was so powerful for the time being. In the beginning, it was indeed pretty weak. In the previous timeline, the owner of the White Leopard Cat had tried to get rid of it several times. No one wanted it. Without the money to buy another pet, he was stuck with it. So, he persevered. After training it to Level 90, then Level 100, it obtained two skills which made it incredibly overpowered. He could only slowly explain the complicated mechanics and synergies of these skills to Xie Yao later.

「If you say so,」Xie Yao said. Even though she was puzzled, she had absolute trust in Nie Yan.

Xie Yao and Nie Yan met up. Nie Yan handed over the Evolution Cyrstal to her.

Nie Yan gazed at the Holy Fairy floating above her shoulder. “What’s it rank now?”
