The demon Collic summoned his loyal subjects, a total of 20 magical beasts and monsters, all of which were as powerful as original beings. Among them, 10 were magical beasts of original-level, while the other 10 were monsters of original-level. All of them looked very different and strange.

The number of people in this operation did not need to be very large. If the map were more accurate, he could even send fewer people there.

"I need you to perform a covert operation for me. I've placed a locator on the target. Once you get close enough to him, the locator will automatically track his position... It's best if you can capture him alive. If not, his corpse must be brought back at least," Collic instructed.

"You shall form teams of two, and remember to be careful of human evolved beings! Don't let them discover your target. Whoever accomplishes this task, I will do my best to help them become a level-one evolved being," he said seriously.

The demons and monsters all became very excited, beating, jumping, roaring and shouting. After all, becoming an evolved being was their main goal, but it was not easy to do so. If they could get the full support of Collic, their possibility of becoming evolved beings would greatly increase.

...

At this point, Steve did not know that a plot against him was in progress. The Magical Beasts Hunting Convention was now in its third day.

He took Elizabeth to the deepest part of the hunting ground, not far from the magical beast mountains. The level of magical beasts was also getting higher and higher, making the difficulty of hunting them also greater.

So far, Elizabeth had gotten far more points than Selma, who was traveling with them. Steve was also able to continue his own training, as they had been granted access to special compressed housing capsules, so their accommodation problems had been easily settled. Therefore, they were not afraid of being discovered by Lauren and Selma when training.

In the period of three days, Steve's level of cell activation had reached 90%. However, after one's level of cell activation had reached 80%, the rate of increase usually slowed. Yet, Steve had been able to progress so fast because he had the help of the Enhanced Subatomic Serum!

Hunting grounds were far more dangerous during the night than the day. However, the temporary houses often drove away the magical beasts. This was because they had automatic alarm systems. So, if a powerful magical beast were to attack, it would naturally trigger the alarm, which would warn the people inside.

After guiding Elizabeth's training, Steve entered the Blue World once again. Today was the auction day for the share of the main ingredients of Red Night's Blood. The auction of the Fantasy Serum was not over yet, but the sudden appearance of the Red Night's Blood Serum had caused a great sensation among the Human Federation.

After the success and fame of the Fantasy Serum, the crowd was all going after the Red Night's Blood Serum. Fantasy Serums were so precious, there were only eighteen bottles of them available. Such a small amount was not enough to even supply the top 500 enterprises in the world.

This shortage resulted in many powerful forces being unable to purchase it, but now, the new Red Night's Blood Serum had appeared! Although its effects were not as powerful as the Fantasy Serum's, people were still glad to at least get second best!

After all, it did have the ability of an extinct genius, and it had a total of fifty thousand copies! Hence, many of the powerful forces that failed to purchase the Fantasy Serum immediately turned their attention to the Red Night's Blood Serum.

The Red Night's Blood had a total of 45,000 portions, with one hundred portions per auction being made available. That is to say, there were 450 opportunities to purchase it in total.

These portion allocation contracts were of one-year durations each. After that year, the portions were to be re-auctioned.

It seemed that large enterprises would not gain much profit if they were to purchase the Red Night's Blood. However, the most important thing was the advertising effects and the elevated reputations of the enterprises.

The n.o.bles were also eager to get their hands on the Red Night's Blood. This was because the Red Night's Blood represented the families' abilities to give birth to an absolute genius. With careful cultivation, it was not impossible for the basic cell value to reach 500 or 600! This figure was crucial and highly coveted, as a potential genius would be more likely to become a strong person later in life.

For the aristocracy, the rise and fall of the family lay in their ability to procure a strong being to guard their house. For example, families with super G.o.ds of war would certainly be able to stand at the top of the Human Federation. They would then be able to bring progress, profits, and benefits to the n.o.ble families.

As they were fighting for the future of their families, the n.o.bles were more eager to get the Red Night's Blood than the big enterprises. In fact, they were even willing to pay a higher price for the Fantasy Serums.
