Three meters long, four of them — the Great Lynx's canine teeth, more exaggerated even than a saber-tooth tiger's.

"Slight curve to them. Should I keep these as totem material, or make them straight into weapons?" Having savored the green-pepper scrambled eggs, Shen Cong took a moment to examine the Great Lynx's jin core.

The three-meter fangs were genuinely beautiful, carrying a silvery-white metallic sheen.

Cleaned up, the odor scrubbed off, they'd make fine decoration.

"I'm not short on core armaments right now — no rush to grind these four teeth down. I'll just hang them on my bedroom wall." So Shen Cong decided.

His bedroom already had no small pile of jin cores stacked up, all of them super-grade or higher.

Anything below super-grade, he either sold off or tossed to the Vajra Ants to eat. As an ultimate-grade iron person, Shen Cong no longer had any use for sub-super-grade jin cores or metal-change materials. Of course, as far as food went, high-grade jin beast meat was still more than enough to cover his daily needs — though as his evolutionary stage kept climbing, good ingredients would only grow scarcer.

Along with transmitting that thought, Blackhead struck a pose — all four legs planted, upper body raised upright. Blackhead… Great Lynx…

"You, a Great Lynx?" Shen Cong walked out of the bedroom, shut the door, and gave it another…
