Chapter 5: Adding Wings to the Monster!

The wings of a demonized pheasant?
Lorne, crouched near the corpse, paused.
What he had just obtained was not a high-grade material, but this body part was very special.
Wings!
It corresponded to flying!
Could it be that by using it, the monster could fly?
Like… the slime?
Eh?
It was too beautiful to imagine.
As a blob of liquid, the slime could not merge with the wings.
The two were too different. Even if they were combined, the compatibility would be very low.
Shaking his head, Lorne reconsidered.
Finally, he looked at the other demonized pheasants.
“If another demonized pheasant also gives me its wings, I will have four!”
“Four wings…”
“It sounds powerful!”
Lorne nodded in agreement.
In other books, there were always Four-Winged Angels, so when he thought of Four-Winged, he subconsciously felt that they were very powerful.
It was not an expensive material anyway. He would just treat it as an experiment.
With that in mind, Lorne attacked another demonized pheasant.
In order to turn monsters into materials that could be synthesized, one had to reduce their HP to 5%, so that the simulator would determine that they were in a state of near death and were suitable for synthesis.
Slam! Slam! Slam!
The three slimes surrounded the demonized pheasant and quickly subdued it.
At that moment, Lorne walked up.
He decisively activated the merging skill.
“Ding!”
“Monster [Demonized Pheasant] has been confirmed as the prototype material. Please confirm other materials.”
“Demonized Pheasant’s Wing.”
There was only one part in Lorne’s bag.
“Ding!”
“A monster prototype and material have been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Demonized Pheasant) + (Demonized Pheasant’s Wings) = (???)”
“The cost is 40 bronze coins. Would you like to merge?”
40 bronze coins? It was not cheap.
Lorne was a new player. After some expenditure, he only had 42 bronze coins left from his original 1 silver coin. Two bronze coins had been obtained after killing the pheasant.
After some consideration, he used them.
It would be easy to earn bronze coins in the future. After all, he could create powerful pets, so he did not have to worry about farming monsters.
“Merge!” Lorne ordered.
Then, a familiar light appeared.
This time, the magic circle was more complicated. Perhaps due to the difference in the monsters, the difficulty of the fusion was also different.
In the brilliant light, the pair of wings turned into light and poured into the demonized pheasant. Then, they gradually fused together.
Soon, there were sounds of completion.
“Ding!”
“Merging successful!”
“Congratulations on obtaining an Ordinary Monster—Four-Winged Demon Chicken!”
Four-Winged Demon Chicken?
It seemed to be something extraordinary.
Lorne’s eyes lit up as he felt he got lucky.
After all, the name ‘Four-Winged Demon Chicken’ gave off a very powerful feeling.
Feeling a little excited, Lorne quickly opened the monster’s attributes panel.
The next second, he froze on the spot.
————

Introduction: This is a Four-Winged Demon Chicken that evolved from a demonized pheasant. Due to the interference of the four wings, the beast is extremely weak.
————
Pfft—
Lorne almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What was this?
Where was the powerful creature?
How did it become a deformed little chick?
In the past, the monsters had improved.
However, this time, not only did the attributes not increase, but they also decreased by quite a bit. The most severe decrease was the movement speed, which was reduced by half. It was as if it had broken a leg.
“I was too naive.” Lorne shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The loss of 40 bronze coins was heartbreaking.
“I’ll kill this damned fellow!”
Upon receiving the order, the slimes charged forward and attacked the Four-Winged Demon Chicken.
The four-winged chick merely stood there and let out an innocent cry, as if it had done nothing but suffer a baseless torture.
Gratefully, Lorne picked up the three bronze coins and the quest item, [Chicken Beak].
After cleaning up, he hurried forward.
This time, he had to farm monsters and earn back the 40 bronze coins he had lost.
Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable.
Lorne set his sights on the next demonized pheasant.
Before the other players invaded this area, it was best for him to quickly obtain the 30 [Chicken Beaks] that he needed for the mission. Otherwise, fighting with others for the monsters would definitely cause a conflict and waste his time leveling up.
…
Slam! Slam! Slam!
The Poisonous Slime worked tirelessly to attack one monster after another. The poison had given it a great boost, so it was no problem for it to fight alone.

As damage was dealt, the demonized pheasant fell to the ground, giving him 6 EXP and 2 bronze coins.
Equipment and skill books were the most valuable, but they did not drop. It was as if such items had a very low drop rate in “Divine Realm”.
But that could not be helped.
Lorne did not expect this to happen. With the help of the Monster Merging Simulator, he was confident that he could earn 300 gold coins in half a month with just his pets.
Grateful to be behind his pets, he cleaned up the battlefield. Lorne picked up the coins from the wheat field.
But at that moment, suddenly!
A low growl came from the side.
Lorne quickly looked up, his pupils immediately reflecting a hideous monster.
It was a demonized hound. There was saliva on its white teeth and black patterns all over its body. Two blood-red eyes stared at him greedily, as if wanting to tear him into pieces.
However, Lorne smiled upon seeing this.
“Interesting, my new material is here!”
