Tristan pondered for a mont. This was the first ti he was evolving equipnt. Previously, he had only evolved skills. But this ti, the Fire Dragon's corpse was simply too valuable to leave behind. It felt like a waste.
"Evolution points can be fard again, but if I miss out on the Fire Dragon, there may not be another chance," Tristan thought to himself.
He spent so evolution points, and the Baron Ring in his hand glead with light.
Ding—"Ghibbobo Family Crest quality improved! Gold Grade → Dark Gold Grade!"
Ghibbobo Family Crest: Dark Gold Grade Ring
Increases storage space by 1000 slots
Level Requirent: None
Special Effect 1: Items in storage will not drop
Special Effect 2: Storage slots rge into a 10x10x10 cubic space
A thousand slots of storage transford into a cubic space of a thousand cubic ters. This was a massive gain—truly a windfall.
Previously, the sa piece of equipnt would occupy a single storage slot. Now, each slot was equivalent to a cubic ter, enough to store several pieces of equipnt.
However, fitting the Fire Dragon's corpse into the ring was still a challenge. After all, the Fire Dragon's body stretched over twenty ters. To store it, the body would need to be disassembled. This task, naturally, was left to the Shadow Dragon.
The Shadow Dragon didn't mind. It swung its claws and began to disassemble the Fire Dragon. Internal conflicts among dragons were far more brutal; the losers often ended up shredded and consud. It was simply doing what any dragon would do.
While the Shadow Dragon worked outside, Tristan entered the lair to search for the Sleight of Hand skill book. Considering the size of the book and the Fire Dragon's intense heat, Tristan focused his search on the corners of the lair where the Fire Dragon wouldn't reach.
Before long, Tristan noticed sothing odd. There was a stone that didn't quite match the surrounding environnt. The difference was small, but if he hadn't been ntally prepared, he wouldn't have noticed. But now, with the solution in mind, it was clear as day.
He grabbed the skill book.
Sleight of Hand (Basic Level):
Active Skill: Use on BOSS corpses with a 20% chance to gain an extra loot drop.
"Well, well!" Tristan exclaid.
Such an exaggerated effect for a basic skill? A 20% chance might not seem like much, but bosses didn't just co one at a ti. For regular players, if they killed a high-level boss and got an extra loot drop, it would be a significant gain. Accumulating these drops could lead to a massive advantage.
For Tristan, Sleight of Hand would beco an insanely powerful skill!
Without hesitation, he evolved it.
Ding—"Sleight of Hand evolved! Quality increased from Basic → Black Iron Grade!"
Ding—"Sleight of Hand evolved! Quality increased from Black Iron Grade → Bronze Grade!"
Ding—"Sleight of Hand evolved! Quality increased from Bronze Grade → Silver Grade!"
Ding—"Sleight of Hand evolved! Quality increased from Silver Grade → Gold Grade!"
Tristan stopped after reaching Gold Grade, mostly because he didn't have enough evolution points to go further.
Even so, the effects of a Gold Grade Sleight of Hand left Tristan grinning ear to ear.

With the skill in hand, Tristan quickly ran out of the Fire Dragon's lair and stopped the Shadow Dragon from nibbling any more of the body.
The Shadow Dragon awkwardly flicked its tail, clearly unsure where to put it. Its voice was filled with nervousness: "My Lord Shadow, I just had a small bite, only one! You've got to believe !"
Tristan wasn't concerned about that. A Fire Dragon of such a size would hardly be eaten in one sitting, even by the Shadow Dragon. Besides, the Shadow Dragon had put in a lot of effort during the battle, even taking a direct hit from the Fire Dragon's fiery breath.
"Alright, no more of that." Tristan said indifferently.
He then stepped forward and used Sleight of Hand on the Fire Dragon's corpse.
Thud.
An Epic Grade light orb fell from nowhere.
The Shadow Dragon stood there, stunned.
What just happened?
Tristan picked it up and took a quick glance.
Crimson Fla Cloak:
Epic Grade, Defense 3000, Strength 1000, Agility 1150, Level Requirent: 75, Agility > 3000
Special Effect 1: Crimson Fla – Deals 1000 fire damage per second to nearby enemies.
Special Effect 2: Fire Resistance – Reduces fire damage taken by 50%.
Special Effect 3: Crimson Fla Burst – Knocks back nearby enemies, cooldown: 2 minutes.
Three powerful effects on one piece of gear. The stats alone were dazzling.
Unfortunately, this piece of equipnt required level 75, so even with Tristan's Proof of the Overlord, which lowered equipnt requirents by ten levels, he still needed to reach level 65 to use it. So, while it was great, it would remain useless for now.
He stored it in his ring.
"Keep disassembling it. If I catch you sneaking another bite, you'll face the consequences," Tristan ordered, heading back into the Fire Dragon's lair. There were still countless treasures to be collected.
The Shadow Dragon, caught red-handed, knew better than to act up again. It had figured out that with soone like My Lord Shadow, it would always get its share of the spoils.
"Greed only causes trouble!" the Shadow Dragon reminded itself.
It knew that if it wanted to continue following My Lord Shadow, it had to raise its standing in his eyes. Stealing bites would only lower that score.
With this in mind, the Shadow Dragon got back to work.
Back in the lair, Tristan packed up all the treasures. After a rough calculation, their value easily surpassed two billion dollars.
Tristan was planning to return to Edith, to exchange these items for materials to incubate the dragon egg. But with Edith's capacity, handling all these resources might prove to be a challenge.
This wasn't hard to solve—he just needed to visit a few more major cities.
In addition to the dragon egg materials, Tristan also planned to set up so industries in each of the major cities. Once ExoGenesis fully rged with reality, those businesses would serve as his safe houses. No matter how the ga version evolved, as long as the cities remained intact, he would have a fallback plan.
Moreover, as the cities grew in size, those industries would not only appreciate in value but would also beco more secure.
All in all, it was a win-win.
Just from the treasure, Tristan had already made a fortune.
And this was far from the limit. The Fire Dragon's corpse outside still hadn't been fully harvested. Its dragon scales alone were enough to craft several sets of armor—likely Dark Gold Grade or better.
Not to ntion all the weapons, which were worth just as much as the treasures.
Additionally, there were still seven Epic Grade loot drops he hadn't checked yet. While they couldn't be used now, that didn't an they were worthless. So of the items might be directly usable.
For instance, the Dragon Bloodline Factor...
