**Chapter 483: On Methods and Means of Hatching Eggs**
The System was completely panicked!
If he went there again, wouldn't it crash again?
[Detected that host's spending has reached 30 million resentment points!]
[Reward special item: One Upgrade Card!]
[Please don't go!]
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. The Upgrade Card was finally here?
This was outright bribery!
No wait, his resentment point spending had already exceeded 30 million a long time ago!
The System had been defaulting and refusing to give it!
Now it's suddenly here? Not very precise at all!
Jiangnan suspected the System had never actually kept track of how many resentment points he'd spent!
If he didn't squeeze it a bit, who knew how long it would drag out before giving it to him!
But right now, Jiangnan had no time to deal with the Upgrade Card!
His gaze was completely drawn by the crimson griffin egg in his backpack!
He hugged it in his arms like a precious treasure!
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the griffin egg in Jiangnan's arms, expressions full of envy!
"Big Black! Little Black! How do I hatch this thing? Should I do a blood bond or something before it hatches?"
Everyone was speechless.
Blood bond? What the heck? Have you been watching too many cartoons?
Big Black laughed: "No need! However a mother griffin hatches her eggs, you hatch them the same way!"
"Every day, consistently infuse the egg with spiritual energy, let the little one get familiar with your aura early on. In short, make it think you're its closest kin!"
"I've written all the specific methods in my notebook. Heavenly Father can just read it himself later!"
With that, he pulled out a handwritten journal, recording the mother griffin's hatching process and various data.
Jiangnan took it as if he'd found a treasure, incredibly excited.
"Thank you so much! Does your tribe need any garlic? I have some here..."
Little Black smiled: "We should be the ones thanking Heavenly Father. Our tribe has already gained many benefits from this cooperation!"
"Next time Heavenly Father comes over, the Sahara Desert will definitely look completely different!"
Xiao Chuihuo laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! Couldn't be better!"
"Immediately start the research experiments on spirit pet studies, using the Toy House as the experimental site. The Academy has already requisitioned the Thousand Islands Lake Lingxu as the spirit pet supply base! Listed as a first-level protected Lingxu!"
"Jiangnan! You carry a heavy burden!"
Jiangnan was dumbfounded: "What does this have to do with me?"
Xiao Chuihuo: "As our first experimental subject here, your only task now is to hatch the egg!"
"You must thoroughly record your entire hatching process, providing reliable data support for spirit pet studies!"
"Write it seriously. This will be material for textbooks in the future!"
Jiangnan: ???
What the hell?
They want to write all the details of me hatching an egg into a textbook?
For some reason, I feel strangely embarrassed!
But thinking it's for the progress of the entire era, he could only reluctantly agree.
"Well... alright then!"
Big Black and Little Black followed Guan Hu and the others to get settled. The Academy had even approved a building specifically for them as experimental space.
As for Jiangnan, he teleported back to the villa holding the pet egg.
Staring at the crimson, washbasin-sized egg on the bed, Jiangnan could hardly contain his impatience.
He quickly flipped open the notebook.
So the mother griffin needs a month to hatch a baby griffin from the egg!
During this time, the mother griffin stops eating, sits on the egg, and uses her body heat to incubate it!
She never leaves the egg 24/7 until the baby griffin is born!
And the Kabu tribe imitates the mother griffin's method, using body heat to hatch! This process takes 3 whole months!
After spending several hours reading through the entire notebook, Jiangnan's big eyes rolled around.
(ಡ̫ಡ)
"Oh my god! This notebook is way too detailed! The Kabu tribe is way too good to me!"
"No, no! This gratitude in my heart can't be expressed properly!"
Then he pulled out his phone: "Hmm~ The next flight to Africa is at 7:28 AM? I can still make it if I teleport..."
[!!!]
[Detected host is tall, mighty, handsome, and stunning!]
[Now opening limited-time exchange items for host!]
Jiangnan: (ಡꇴಡ)
I really like the excuse you just made, oh!
Hahahahaha!
If I don't squeeze some wool out of you, it'd be a crime against my conscience!
Sure enough, a limited-time item appeared in the system shop!
[Super Mutation Potion!]
Price: 10 million resentment points!
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. So expensive?
He only had 3.07 million resentment points left in his pocket, saved up over this period!
Saving up to ten million would take forever!
"You're not even sincere about selling it to me! I'd better go thank them in person. After all, the most important thing in life is to be true to one's conscience!"
As he spoke, he had already booked the ticket.
[(๐ᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)]
[Limited-time special price! 3 million!]
Sure enough, the price dropped from ten million to three million!
It was tailored exactly to his balance!
Good boy, oh!
"It's already so late. It wouldn't be appropriate to visit and thank them abruptly. I'll go another day!"
[(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)]
With that, Jiangnan cancelled the ticket, didn't think twice, and directly spent 3 million resentment points to redeem the potion!
He quickly clicked to check its effect.
[Super Mutation Potion!]
Effect: Causes mutation in spirit beast embryos based on their original form! The direction of mutation is uncontrollable!
Jiangnan frowned. So it's indeed for the pet egg!
He wondered what it would become after use. It was sold so expensively, so it should be a good thing, right?
As he pondered, he took out the Super Mutation Potion, sealed in a bottle similar to eye drops!
Just one drop!
Jiangnan dripped it onto the pet egg!
The potion was instantly absorbed into the egg, and then the pet egg began to shake violently!
It even rolled around on the bed, bouncing up and down!
Jiangnan's eyes widened, full of worry.
"It can't die from mutation, can it? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
"I wonder if you can still eat a mutation-failed egg? It shouldn't be poisonous, right?"
The moment he finished speaking, the egg rolling around on the bed suddenly froze!
Blue-striped patterns appeared on the crimson shell. Clearly, the mutation had succeeded!
Jiangnan grinned, and without saying a word, stripped down to nothing and jumped onto the bed!
Then his face flushed red. This... how the hell am I supposed to hatch it? This is so embarrassing!
But fantasizing about riding a giant griffin flying through the sky, Jiangnan gritted his teeth and made up his mind!
Hatch!
He assumed the " _|￣|○ " position and straddled the egg!
Pulling the blanket over himself, he bundled up like a hen nesting, with only his head sticking out!
Using his body heat to hatch the egg, he infused spiritual energy into it!
The moment he infused, he felt his spiritual energy being sucked away by the egg like crazy!
In less than three minutes, he was completely drained!
Startled, Jiangnan quickly ate durian pulp to replenish his spiritual energy!
This back-and-forth continued for half an hour before the pet egg finally stopped absorbing energy, as if full!
Jiangnan was stunned.
Didn't they say just infuse a little spiritual energy each day? This wasn't what the notebook said!
Was it because of the mutation?
While lying in bed hatching the egg, Jiangnan started studying the notebook again.
It went on until evening. The living room door opened, and then his bedroom door creaked open.
Zhong Yingxue looked puzzled: "Xiao Nan? Didn't you say you were going to the training room this afternoon? Why didn't you go?"
Xia Yao also poked her head in: "Hmm~ Hiding in bed? Are you sick?"
Jiangnan looked guilty, cold sweat on his forehead.
"I am sick! I caught a disease where I'll die if I get out of bed! You guys should leave quickly, or I'll infect you!"
No way was he letting them know he was lying in bed hatching an egg!
Go away, go away!
I have a reputation to maintain!
Zhong Yingxue: (⇀‸↼٥)
Xia Yao snickered: "Oh ho~ What a coincidence! I have that disease too! Had it for over a decade, not afraid of infection at all!"
"Hehe~ What delicious snacks are you hiding?"
With that, Xia Yao launched a flying leap onto the bed, pulled open the blanket, and stuck her head inside!
Jiangnan: !!!
"You sneak attack!"
Xia Yao's body, once she burrowed under the covers, froze stiff.
"◟(ૂ๑˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)༡ Pfft hahahaha! An egg? How is it an egg?"
"Xiao Nan! Are you secretly hatching an egg in bed? You're so cute!"
Zhong Yingxue was also stunned, pulling Jiangnan's blanket open!
There was Jiangnan, lying on top of a blue-and-red striped egg, hatching with great seriousness.
"Pfft~ Mm!!!"
Zhong Yingxue couldn't help it. She turned her head away, shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Jiangnan's face was bright red: "This is for spirit pet studies, contributing to the era! I'm hatching by decree!"
"It's not like I wanted to do it myself!"
