Chapter 904 - The Comical Awakening (2) (2/2)

Parker’s breathing halted, and his golden pupils rapidly enlarged. He paused for a moment, then lowered his gaze towards the water surface.

After which, he froze for a long long time.

Bai Qingqing merely smiled with her lips pursed and didn’t bother him.

It took a long time before Parker finally regained control of his body and raised a hand to touch his own face.

“I leveled up…”

Although he had all along desired to become more powerful, never once had he imagined that it would happen at such a young age. A 21-year-old four-striped beastman was something unheard of even in the legends.

How was that possible?

He knew very well that his powers as a three-striped beastman had only stabilized recently, and that the power in his body couldn’t possibly give him the breakthrough to earn him his fourth stripe.

He could sense that the energy in his body was much more vigorous than before. Additionally, he knew that this wasn’t even his peak, that there could be a void, that very likely he hadn’t even reached the level of a least formidable four-striped beastman.

The powers of a four-striped beastman were incredible!

So much so Parker worried that he wouldn’t be able to control it.

“That beastman who saved me previously helped you. He lent us a lot of transparent crystals. I didn’t count, but I think there were about a hundred of them.”

As Bai Qingqing spoke, she cast an embarrassed glance at Parker and said, “I told him you would return him double in the future… He saved your life. Or else, you would have died there and then. So now, you’ve got to return him an additional 100 transparent crystals. It’s okay, right?…”

Recalling that simply one transparent crystal was sufficient to buy an entire village’s rice—which was only inferior in value to salt—Bai Qingqing felt sheepish.

Had she sold Parker? How many years would it take for him to collect 200 transparent crystals?

Seemingly in thought, Parker pulled Bai Qingqing into his embrace and rubbed her wet head.

“Not expensive. I will return him in double.”

As Parker spoke, he looked up at Curtis with a complicated expression in his eyes.
