# Chapter 484: Upgrade! Diamond Giant Durian
Aaaaah! So embarrassing!
This is even more shameful than performing the Scallion Chopping Sword Dance in front of everyone, isn't it?
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue finally learned that this egg was obtained from the Kabu tribe and required artificial incubation!
Zhong Yingxue held back her laughter: "Xiao Nan must have worked very hard incubating the egg. It must be very energy-consuming, right? Wait! I'll go make you something delicious right away!"
With that, she dashed out of the room!
Xia Yao, on the other hand, lay on the bed propping up her chin, staring at Jiangnan without blinking!
Jiangnan's face turned red: "What are you looking at? Never seen this before, have you? Even if you wanted to incubate one, you don't have one!"
Xia Yao leaned in curiously: "Hey hey hey~ Have you named it yet? Your mood must be really complicated right now, right? After all, you're about to... ho ho ho~"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes and directly pushed Xia Yao off the bed!
"Shoo shoo shoo! Don't interfere with my contribution to the era!"
Xia Yao stuck her tongue out at Jiangnan, pulled the blanket over, and wrapped it around him again!
"Don't move, okay~ I'll go help Xuexue cook, make you something delicious to nourish your body. I'll come feed you later!"
With that, she ran out as well.
Jiangnan: (눈‸눈)
Why did he feel like he was recovering from childbirth?
You guys suddenly being so nice to me makes me really uncomfortable!
But having someone feed me should be pretty nice. Ehehe~
However, thinking that he'd have to incubate like this for three months was driving Jiangnan crazy!
He couldn't help frantically flipping through his notes. There had to be some other way!
As he read, Jiangnan's eyes lit up!
Griffins were fire-element spirit beasts. When incubating, the temperature in the mother griffin's nest even reached two or three hundred degrees, so they could hatch in a month!
Human body temperature was only about thirty-something degrees, no wonder it would take three months to hatch!
So as long as he made himself hotter, he could hatch it faster!
"This theory is absolutely correct!"
"Blood Incineration! Aha!"
Jiangnan directly activated 50% Blood Incineration, his body temperature skyrocketing!
The egg in his arms moved slightly!
Jiangnan's heart leaped with joy. It worked!
But he couldn't maintain this state for three months, could he? He'd be dead after three minutes!
Three minutes later, Jiangnan helplessly turned off Blood Incineration and activated the Eight Gates of Escape instead!
His body temperature also skyrocketed!
Ten minutes later, Jiangnan lay in the blankets, sweating profusely. This wasn't a long-term solution either!
Suddenly, Jiangnan's eyes widened!
"Tsk! Why didn't I think of this before?"
The Kabu tribe using body temperature to incubate eggs was a last resort. Living in a primitive tribe, they didn't have modern facilities!
As long as he raised the temperature to be similar to that of the mother griffin's nest, wouldn't that work?
The incubation time would definitely be greatly shortened!
Jiangnan! You're such a little genius!
Without further ado!
Jiangnan hugged the egg and teleported directly to the kitchen, startling Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao, who were busy cooking!
"Xiao Nan? What are you going to..."
Jiangnan grabbed a large ladle, turned on the gas stove, and boiled a full pot of water!
Under Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao's horrified gazes, he placed the pet egg into the boiling water!
Zhong Yingxue: ∑(°口°๑)
Xia Yao: (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!
"Xiao Nan! Weren't you just incubating the egg? Why are you about to eat it now?"
"No! This is a living little life!"
Jiangnan excitedly explained the principle to them!
"Don't worry! This theory is absolutely correct! The temperature in the mother griffin's nest is two or three hundred degrees! Boiling water is only 100℃!"
"There's absolutely no problem!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stared blankly at Jiangnan. Could these really be compared? What kind of brainwave was this?
"This is clearly just a boiled egg!"
"This... this doesn't seem reliable!"
The pet egg sitting in the pot began to tremble violently!
It was even rippling the water's surface!
"See? It even feels cold at 100℃, shivering from the cold! Xuexue! Add more fire!"
Xia Yao said dazedly: "Are you sure it's not shivering from fear?"
Zhong Yingxue looked pained: "Should I really add more?"
"Add it!"
A flame shot out from her palm, applied to the bottom of the pot!
Instantly, the water in the pot boiled violently, and the pet egg trembled even harder!
It actually jumped out of the pot and leaped into Jiangnan's arms, trembling nonstop!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao watched in astonishment. This egg was so intelligent!
Jiangnan frowned: "What's wrong? Still feel cold at 100℃? See how cold you are? Well, your mother's nest was two or three hundred degrees!"
"Don't worry! I've got another trick!"
With that, he walked over and opened the oven!
He stuffed the pet egg inside! Directly twisted the temperature dial to 200 degrees! Started heating!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao nearly fainted!
Are you incubating an egg or cooking a meal?
This egg's life with you is way too hard!
After baking for a while, Jiangnan seemed to remember something. He opened the oven and took out the egg. An enticing aroma wafted out!
The two breathed a sigh of relief. Had he finally come to his senses?
Jiangnan: "Hmm~ I can't let the eggshell get ruined!"
With that, he wrapped the egg in a layer of aluminum foil and put it back in!
"Don't worry, little one! If you bake in here for a month, you'll hatch! I'll wait for you here! Keep going!"
"Slurp~"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao: !!!
Bake for a month? Hey hey hey!
It'd be ready to eat in a few hours, wouldn't it?
And "keep going"? With olive oil?
You're already drooling!
At this moment, the egg in the oven trembled uncontrollably!
It slammed against the oven door like crazy, breaking it open after three hits!
It jumped back into Jiangnan's arms!
Jiangnan was utterly bewildered. He peeled off the aluminum foil and saw that the eggshell was completely intact!
"Don't like the oven either? How about we try a pressure cooker, induction cooker, or microwave?"
Jiangnan had just placed the egg on the induction cooker when it jumped back into his arms on its own!
Jiangnan was stunned!
He put the egg on the counter again, teleported ten meters away!
The egg hopped along as if it recognized him, jumping back into Jiangnan's arms!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stared dumbfounded at this scene!
How could this egg jump?
It was about to become a spirit even before hatching! Get away from that person quickly!
Otherwise, you might never successfully break out of your shell!
Jiangnan rubbed his chin, utterly confused. Was it that clingy?
Did it absolutely have to be him incubating it? What a waste!
He had finally thought of a good way to speed up the incubation!
"Write this down, write this down. Even if I can't use such a good method, maybe other spirit warriors can!"
Jiangnan hugged the egg, deep in thought, and went off to write an incubation report!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were full of worry!
Was the entire field of spirit beast studies going to be led astray by Jiangnan?
That night, Jiangnan cradled the egg with one arm while checking the system!
The second upgrade card had arrived!
He could choose any of the current consolation prizes he owned to upgrade!
The first one had been used on the Strength Potion! The effect had been significantly enhanced, but of course, the side effects had become terrifyingly stronger too!
Looking at his row of consolation prizes, Jiangnan hesitated!
In the end, he chose to use it on the Gold Durian!
Little Ginseng was still sufficient for now. If he upgraded it, who knew how crazy the side effects would become!
As for the Lucky Little Cherry, Jiangnan absolutely didn't dare use it. It might easily cause casualties!
Jiangnan often ate Gold Durian pulp and was looking forward to seeing how strong the upgraded effect would be!
As for side effects? How bad could they get?
At worst, it'd smell a little worse, right? How much worse could it get?
He couldn't lose either way!
[Upgrade Card Confirmed for Use!]
[Gold Durian Upgrade Successful!]
[Diamond Giant Durian!]
In the system store, it only cost 1,000 resentment points to exchange!
Jiangnan excitedly sat up from the bed!
It wasn't Gold Durian 2.0? It was Diamond Giant Durian?
Diamond grade? Real diamond or fake diamond?
He quickly checked its effects!
[Diamond Giant Durian!]
Effect: Rapidly restores the user's internal spiritual power to full capacity!
And increases the total spiritual power storage capacity by 50% based on the original total, the effect lasting 3 minutes!
Diamond Giant Durian! Not sweet, no charge!
A diamond lasts forever! Its fragrance lasts for generations!
-`ෆ´-ԅ(ૢ⁼̴̤̆ὢ⁼̴̤̆ԅ)
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled!
Holy crap! Was this too strong?
It could actually increase the total amount of spiritual power inside the body?
That meant if it was originally 100%! After eating a bite of Diamond Giant Durian pulp, the total spiritual power would reach 150%?
Wasn't this essentially raising one's level?
He was at Gold Three! Taking a bite would make his total spiritual power comparable to a Gold Seven or Eight spirit warrior!
Amazing! This was truly amazing!
Unable to contain himself, Jiangnan directly pulled out a Diamond Giant Durian!
He was almost blinded!
No way? Genuine diamond?
