Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Hack System Revealed
Lucius exhaled, leaning back, feeling a sense of relief.

“Well… that actually feels nice.”

He smirked slightly, his eyes calm yet satisfied.

“Now that you guys finally know my secret, I don’t have to hold back anymore.”

Luna and Liora exchanged glances, before both grinning.

Luna crossed her arms, tilting her head.

“No wonder Master is so damn strong.”

Liora chuckled, stretching her fingers as small flames flickered from her fingertips.

“Yeah… It makes sense now. From our previous world, you already had a system, didn’t you?”

Lucius nodded, smirking.

“That’s right. I had it from the moment I arrived in this world.”

Luna and Liora smiled, stepping closer.

Luna’s eyes gleamed with admiration.

“Thank you for choosing us to be part of you, Master.”

Liora smirked, her silver flames dancing lightly across her fingertips.

“Yeah. We owe everything to you.”

Lucius grinned, stepping toward them.

“Of course, I chose you two. You’re both beautiful.”

Luna and Liora smirked playfully, their confidence radiating.

“Hehehe.”

Lucius then turned toward Loreia, who had finally calmed down after the overwhelming revelation.

“Now that you already know my secret, let’s just say this—”

He gestured toward the massive amounts of materials stored in his Eternal Vault.

“I need Hack Points for my abilities.”

Luna nodded. “Yeah, we figured. That’s why you absorb materials, right?”

Lucius grinned.

“Exactly. Every hack I perform costs points, and I gain them by absorbing rare materials.”

He crossed his arms, looking at all of them.

“So make sure to obtain more materials. The more we have, the more we can hack.”

Loreia smirked, adjusting her posture.

“So you’re basically saying we need to keep feeding you power, huh?”

Lucius grinned.

“Pretty much.”

He then turned to Liora, his gaze sharpening.

“How are you feeling?”

Liora rolled her shoulders, cracking her knuckles.

“It feels… amazing.”

She looked at her hands, flames flickering around her fingertips, before clenching them into fists.

“My body feels like it’s growing stronger every second. It’s like I can feel the energy constantly refining me.”

Lucius’s smirk widened.

“Good to know.”

With the truth revealed and Liora’s transformation into a Beast King complete, they were now one step closer to their next conquest.

Luna suddenly stepped forward, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

“Master, I wanted to tell you something important.”

Lucius raised his eyebrow, already sensing something interesting.

“What is it, Luna?”

Luna’s smirk grew wider.

“Beast Castle has officially decided to declare a market war against us.”

Lucius paused for a second, then let out a small chuckle.

“Beast Castle? War?”

He looked at her with amusement, tilting his head slightly.

“Are they that desperate already?”

Loreia sighed, shaking her head. “Just look at their website.”

Lucius took out his phone, casually opening Beast Castle’s official site.

His eyes scanned the screen, his expression unreadable for a moment.

Then—

A knowing smirk spread across his lips.

“I see… so this is what they’re playing at, huh?”

He let out a low chuckle, his fingers tapping against his phone screen.

“To think they actually dared to sell an SS-Rank Beast for their so-called ’10-Year Anniversary Event’.”

Luna and Loreia frowned, exchanging glances.

“Master, why do I feel like you’re already thinking three steps ahead?” Loreia asked.

Luna crossed her arms. “You don’t look the least bit concerned.”

Lucius chuckled darkly, putting his phone away.

“Hehe… because this one is going to fail.”

Luna and Loreia both raised their eyebrow.

“Why do you think that, Master?” Loreia asked, genuinely curious.

Luna narrowed her eyes. “Yeah, Beast Castle has the reputation and the network. Their announcement caused an uproar. Even noble families are interested. So why do you think this will fail?”

Lucius smirked, placing his hands in his pockets.

“You’ll understand soon enough.”

He turned slightly, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

“Just wait until you see their auction.”

Luna and Loreia glanced at each other, still confused but trusting Lucius’s confidence.

Lucius stretched slightly, letting out a relaxed sigh before turning to them.

“For now, just ignore Beast Castle.”

His eyes glowed slightly, his smirk widening.

“Now that you know about my system, I want to give you something.”

Luna raised her eyebrow. “Oh? A gift, Master?”

Liora crossed her arms, intrigued. “What kind of gift?”

Lucius’s smirk didn’t fade as he raised his hand, activating his Hack System.

“Let’s see if this works…”

—

The moment the hack executed, all three women shuddered, feeling something strange take hold within them.

Luna gripped her temples. “Whoa… What was that?”

Liora frowned, flexing her fingers as a strange wave of information washed over her. “I feel… weird.”

Loreia adjusted herself, blinking rapidly. “Something changed… but what?”

Lucius chuckled, arms crossed.

“Try it. Focus on Leon.”

The three of them instinctively turned their gazes toward Leon.

The moment they did, a status screen appeared in front of them, revealing every detail of Leon.

Luna’s eyes widened.

“What… the hell is this?!”

Liora, usually calm, took a step forward, scanning the numbers.

“Wait… I can actually see his stats, his abilities… even his weaknesses?!”

Loreia began reading through the displayed text.

“This is… ridiculous! How the hell can this even be possible?!”

Lucius grinned, enjoying their reactions.

“It’s your new ability.”

He placed his hands in his pockets, tilting his head slightly.

“With this, you’ll be able to see a beast’s full status screen. That way, you’ll always know what you’re dealing with.”

Luna blinked, processing it all, before smirking.

“So this means… I can now scan a beast before deciding if it’s worth taming or selling?”

Lucius nodded. “Exactly. No more guessing. No more misjudging a beast’s strength.”

Liora, however, wasn’t paying attention to that. She was still staring at Leon’s stats, her expression unreadable.

Then, she turned to Lucius, her voice serious.

“How the hell is Leon this ridiculous?”

Loreia, who was also examining the numbers, frowned.

“Yeah… And his rank. It says Divine-Tier?!”

Lucius smirked.

“Now it makes sense why the feedback nearly broke Liora’s body, right?”

Liora let out a slow exhale, rubbing her forehead. “No wonder it felt like I was being burned alive… Leon isn’t just stronger—he’s on an entirely different level now.”

Luna grinned, looking back at Leon, who stood calmly, radiating power.

“Tch… So now we have a Divine-Tier Beast under our command. That’s going to shake the entire beast-taming world.”

Lucius’ eyes gleamed.

“And with this new ability I gave you… handling beasts will become much easier, won’t it?”

Luna, Liora, and Loreia all exchanged glances before smirking.

Luna cracked her knuckles. “Of course.”

Liora grinned. “No beast will be a mystery to us anymore.”

Loreia nodded. “With this… we can dominate the market.”

Lucius chuckled darkly, his silver eyes flashing.

“Then let’s use it to its full potential.”

The game had officially changed.
