Chapter 80: Mutated
The basistruct had now evolved into a mid-tier struct!
Don’t be fooled by just one rank upgrade; the bat strength of the was now equivalent to two of its previous versions!
With enhanced defense and HP, No. 1 had bee an even more formidable tank.
With it holding the front line, Matthew could cast his spells with much greater ease.
leased him the most, of course, was the 4-point increase in intelligence.
Its endurance had tripled, making it capable of sustaining a full-scale battle!
Although Matthew had expended 1,000 experience points, he sidered it well worth the cost!
After all, with molems like this joining the soldier formations, both offensive and defensive capabilities would be greatly enhanced.
Naturally, his ability to gain experience would also increase signifitly!
Thinking of the impending giant hunting campaign, a smirk appeared on Matthew's lips.
The success of the first filled him with fidence!
Matthew promptly began preparations for the sed one.
Uhe initial failed attempts, Matthew felt an increasing mastery over the process.
It seemed that his deepening uanding of the internal structure of the made casting the spell much smoother.
After about half an hour,
The sed was successfully crafted.
Its attributes were identical to the first—yet another clumsy tank.
Matthew wasn’t disappointed by this; although the sed didn’t provide the same level of enha as the first, it still tributed 3-4 levels of magical item crafting experience.
Equivalent to how pyers burn moo boost their skills through materials.
Every are pyer was well-versed in this method!
The only problem was that everyone was short on money...
Matthew tinued creating s over the period.
The blue glow of magic lit up repeatedly, as tall cy figures gradually increased in number.
The third golem...
The fourth...
The fifth...
As Matthew began w on the sixth, a peculiar feeling suddenly washed over him.
Especially when he poured in over 10 points of mana into the spell model. Instead of dissipating, the mana tio circute.
He immediately realized that something unusual was happening!
However, Matthew soon noticed...
The system dispy showed no visible ges. This particur seemed no different from the others.
“This shouldn’t be the case…”
Matthew scrutihe repeatedly. He wasn’t willing to let this anomaly slip away; if the system data was useless, he would resort to his final intervention!
“Spend 100 Fate s to activate Fate’s Decision!”
His intuition rarely failed him, and now, with his lu a stable phase, Matthew decided to take a ce!
“Ding, Fate’s Decision activated.”
“Option one: Spend 2,000 experience points and 200 Fate s to guide the mutation of the perfectly, Luck -3.”
“Option two: Abandoation guidance, allow it to fail, Luck +2.”
A mutated ?
Only a 5% ce of ?
Matthew’s eyes lit up as he quickly analyzed the two choices.
Normally, a drop in luck would soon ma itself, either by entering enemies or fag challenges.
Right now, Matthew needed more oppos to harvest experience points!
Upgrading golems and possibly magical equipment iure would require a vast amount of experience points.
And the most entig part—this mutated would surely obey Matthew, its creator, making the choice clear!
After Matthew chose the first option, his remaining experience points dropped to 11,500, his Fate s to 1,200, and his skill points were now at zero.
As he forted himself, he thought, "Fate will simply send me more enemies, giving me more opportuo reap rewards."
Just as Matthew pohis, he noticed the previously dormant system dispy suddenly fshing back to life:
"Cast Vitalization Empowerment!"
Without hesitation, Matthew spent another 1,000 experience points and witnessed an astonishing sight.
Brilliant blue light enveloped the mutated , as a far more plex spell model and mana els formed within it.
“Ding, i Earth Elemental Crystal.”
Matthew pced another Earth Elemental Crystal onto it. The light yellow crystal was absorbed into the cy, merging with the golem’s body.
A smaller , roughly Matthew’s size, appeared before him!
It had a humanoid appearand physique, with yellow-tinged eyes, slender hands, and nimble fingers.
What astounded Matthew the most was this:
After its creation, the mutated respectfully pced its hand over its chest, bowed to Matthew, and said:
"Great Master, thank you franting me life. I will devote my existend loyalty t you with all my heart!"
“Ding, mutated successfully created. Magic item crafting level +20, current total: 91 (mid-tier).”

Evaluation: A curious lifeform in the process of growing!
"It create s on its own? It brew potions?"
"This... this is truly a treasure."
What’s the definition of a pleasant surprise?
This was it!
As Matthew looked at the unique lifeform he had personally created, his eyes gleamed with anticipation:
"Since you’ve been granted intelligence, you should also have a name. From now on, you will be called 'Mountain'."
Hearing this, Mountain's eyes glowed brighter, and in a louder, firmer voice, he replied:
"Thank you, great master, for naming me. What will my duties be?"
Such human-like intelligend reasoni Matthew in awe.
Was this the oute of altering fate—a mutated ?
Matthew felt an urge to tinue experimenting but decided to hold off for now. His mana reserves were depleted, and he had run out of materials.
The crucial Earth Elemental Crystals used iing s had all been exhausted.
Over 500 gold pieces worth of materials had been burhrough!
Matthew wi the cost, knowing he o make money quickly.
