Chapter 406: All I need is Three Things from You!
I was really fixed on this; I would have my rewards no matter what! I didn't know why this system was so stingy with me. After all, he wasn't paying from his own pocket! These pearls initially belonged to me!
"Ding Dong! Let's make a deal then"
I didn't wait for his nonsense as I hurried to interrupt and shout:
"Not a single deal will be made! This is a system quest that I accepted and completed, and all the rewards shall be received in return!"
"Ding Dong! I was going to give you more quests about human settlements in return!"
"Hahaha, really? So generous of you indeed! Sorry man, I have my own method now to have these villages and I will have them all! Gimme my pearls now!"
My attitude and my sharp tone and quarrel made everyone around me cautiously take one step to the back, fearing that I might pump in their faces next.
I didn't care, as I wanted my own pearls now! I had roughly twenty three bosses with one hundred monsters each; making me have two thousand and three hundred pets!
This number wasn't accurate enough, but it was close to the actual figure. If each ten monsters will give me five pearls at least, then I should have over a thousand pearls right now!
"Ding Dong! This will make the power balance unbalanced!"
"I don't care! my right is my own to have, and I won it fairly with my own strength."
"Ding Dong! But only twenty three monsters became your pets, others didn't yet ask for it!"
"Really?" I had it enough with that system, and the next moment I turned, glaring at everyone else around me, making them take more steps to the back; all without exception!
"Those who didn't yield and kneel to me yet do it NOW!"
My shout scared them that even those who knelt before knelt again, making the entire place usher under strange and heavy silence. "See? They all knelt to me. Gimme my pearls!"
"Ding Dong! Don't come to me later complaining!"
"I won't, gimme my pearls!!"
"Ding Dong! Alright, per the quest schedule and your results, you gained one thousand and two hundred pearls."
The next moment I checked my inventory to find the pearls staying there. I hurried to take one out, and the system said:
"Ding Dong! Do you think I will cheat you?"
"Sure, no harm in checking," I said before holding the glistering black heart in my hand.
The moment I took it out, I noticed a faint wisps of smoke that rose from it. these wisps never existed before, and I glanced at them to realize they weren't black, they were dark blue in color.
"Master, is this the pearl you were fighting yourself to get a moment ago?"
Suddenly the voice of Lilly, my oldest pet, rang in my mind. "Yes, this is the thing I talked to you about for your evolution," I casually replied while focusing my full attention on this pearl. Something seemed strange about it, like it became much stronger than ever!
"Master, c- c- can I have one?"
Lilly's tone and manner of speech finally attracted my attention, as I turned to glance at her to see not only her, but every single monster standing here was literally drooling his or her saliva on the ground from these opened mouths!
"Oh, you like it?" I asked with a pure smile.
"Yes master, I do, I definitely do!" Mark was the next to join as he jumped in the words replying to me instead of Lilly, making the tigress glance at him and roar, like a wild beast roaring at her rival on a very delicious food.
"Hey hey, stop fighting," I said with a chuckle as I raised my hand holding the pearl high as I added, "this pearl isn't the only one I have, as I just gained many of it from the grasp of a really stingy person. Now, whoever will please me with his or her service will have this as a reward."
My words echoed in the completely silent place, while Jen joined in as well while saying:
"Master can say what she wants, and I promise I will do all my best to accomplish and please master."
I glanced at her, knowing that she was a semi-evolved monster; the highest one here, and she couldn't even resist the pearl. I chuckled as I lowered my hand with the pearl, took a big bite of it, while slowly chewing the juicy piece.
"Wow, it was never like this; it's very tasty!" I suddenly commented before realizing that the changes in these pearls weren't just in shape, but also in quality and other features.
And me doing that added more to the flames, making more and more monsters swear heavy oaths to do whatever I ask them for in return for the favor of having one of my pearls.
"See? They are all pumped up from the pearls, hehehe," I didn't forget to tease a little with my system, which kept its silence and totally ignored me.
"Alright, calm down, I will tell you what I needed from you, and you can freely decide whatever you can accomplish," I said, raising my voice to shut their shouts and cut their oaths.
I didn't want promises and oaths, I wanted actions and deeds!
"Three things; I'm looking for three things right now," I said while raising my hand showing off three fingers only for everyone to see clearly.
"The fist is more pets, with strong leaders like the ones I have here. the more you brought them to me, the higher your status will be in my army. I don't care if you use words, promises, or force to make them yield. Whoever brings a leader with his or her followers to swear an oath to me will be much appreciated by me."
I said, as I lowered one finger before adding; "And for sure you can just seek their places and come to inform me about them so I can go personally and add them under my umbrella or kill them in the process. However this won't be appreciated like giving me a whole monster pack as pets."
"Master, I did bring Jen and her entire pack to you," Mark was so greedy that he didn't even wait for me to finish my own words.
"You are a fool! You brought them to me not to be my pets but to speak and argue, preparing to fight me if things went south. Such a golden chance you wasted, make sure you don't make this mistake again," I said with a sneer, as I wasn't that nice with my followers, and I wouldn't give my precious pearls just to anyone easily like that!
He or she must prove their worth to me, or else they would get nothing!
