A Firehawk Puppet sat on top of the work station in front of Li Yao. He circled around the workbench and smiled in delight.

The entire Firehawk Puppet was infused with the fire elemental essence, its metallic body reflected light which made it look slightly translucent. Since it was made of copper ore that had been purified many times, it gave off a fiery red appearance.

The two hawk eyes were made out of cheap items that Li Yao had gotten from a bargain from his shopping at the night market. The Cat-Eye Stones were sold cheap, but they were actually really precious stones.

Li Yao immediately bought the Cat-Eye Stones when he saw that they were on sale for just ten copper coins each. He finely polished the two hawk eyes. Not only were they precious, the two stones also served well as energy cores.

With the stones, the Firehawk also gained Dark Vision and hawk-eye-like properties.

The Firehawk had two special parts, one was the hawk beak and the other was the hawk’s claws that had been sharpen to the core. The claws were made of a special type of steel, it was a fusion of rare metals and a few iron ores.

Li Yao took out the Heart of the Titan. With a touch of his fingers, the Firehawk Puppet’s chest opened into a small slit.

Li Yao quickly placed the Heart of the Titan inside the slit and gave it a nudge. The small slit shut closed and nothing out of the ordinary was seen.

Click click…

After the Heart of the Titan was placed inside, the Firehawk Puppet began to show traces of life. Flames sprang into life from its body, enveloping the Firehawk’s body in ethereal orangey-red flames.

As the hawk began to move, the two hawk eyes that were once frozen started to glow with life, just like how a living creature’s eyes would look like.

The pair of eyes were locked on Li Yao. Then, the Firehawk let out a metallic purr and circled around Li Yao a few times.

The Firehawk Puppet looked divine. Even without spreading its wings, it could reach as tall as Li Yao’s abdomen.

The puppet behaved like a living thing. It gently rubbed its head against Li Yao, as if it was a little pet trying to please its owner.

Li Yao gently stroked the Firehawk’s head. The Firehawk gave him a look of enjoyment.

He began to inspect the attribute details of the Firehawk Puppet that he had created.

Mechanical Firehawk Puppet

Rank: Level 4, low-level chief

Health: 4,500

Armor: 85

Flame resistance: 45

Skills: Fire Breath, Hawk Pounce, Steel Tear, Fiery Feather Scatter

Characteristics: Courageous, Intelligent

Status: Youth

Life form: Mechanical intelligent form, able to grow and evolve

Li Yao stared at the attributes in disbelief. His lips were almost crooked for having smiled too much.

He could not help but be overjoyed. In comparison to a Boss, there was a certain gap in terms of both Health and skills.

But now the Puppet was still a youth. It was capable of growing bigger and evolving further.

Once a Hunter had turned a beast or machine into a pet, the pet was able to grow, but only in Levels. The pet’s skills were basically set and locked, it would not be able to learn more skills even if the pet leveled up.

However, the Firehawk was capable of growth. After Li Yao had adopted it as a pet, it would undergo some changes as it levels up and it would also learn new skills as its level increases.

What Li Yao anticipated was the Firehawk’s attributes once it evolves. He never thought that a machine’s body was capable of having such growth properties. What Li Yao had planned was after it had reached a higher level, he would replace the Firehawk’s body with higher grade materials and metals. That was what he meant by evolution.

In his previous life, players had come to a conclusion. Whether it was the Necromancer’s Undead pet, a Summoner’s pet or a Warlock’s Demon pet, the most basic and fundamental criterion to determine if it were a divine pet was if it had any evolutionary traits.

If the pet did not have the traits, it would not keep up no matter how much it leveled up and would be dumped eventually even if it had the best attributes at that point in time.

Pets were divided into several ranks, which were Common pet, Elite pet, Rare pet, Semi-Divine pet and Divine pet.

Li Yao studied the four skills that the Firehawk had and he was very impressed.

Although having four skills was the criteria of a Rare pet, Li Yao was not disappointed at all.

In fact, Fire Resistance was a passive skill. Fire Mages under Level 10 were basically no threat to him. Amongst the four skills, it contained single-damage skills and group-damage skills, which was pretty impressive.

Perhaps the Firehawk sensed Li Yao’s happy emotions, it owled and appeared to be beyond excited.

Mechanical Puppets, Magical Guards, Arcane Guards, and Elemental Guards were all creatures of creation.
