Pet Beasts of the World: Hundred-Fold Multiplier System-Chapter 100: - Transaction at Black Market
Chapter 100: Transaction at Black Market
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The basement was a little dark. The boss clapped his hands and the lights came on.
Fang Yuan looked up and saw a group of monkeys with a lantern on their tails. They used their own light to illuminate the basement. By a rough count, there were close to 100 of them, which was equivalent to a legion of lantern monkeys.
“Why are they so obedient?” Fang Yuan asked.
The boss laughed and said, “Trainers respect the strong, and pets are even more so. As long as you can defeat them, they will be obedient.”
Although Fang Yuan could not agree with this point of view, but this was a black market after all, so he did not say much.
The footsteps of the two people sounded extremely deep in the long corridor of the basement, with echoes.
“What kind of pet beast do you want to buy?” The boss asked.
Along the way, Fang Yuan had seen far too many pet beasts in the cages on both sides that were similar to prison cells. They had a common characteristic, which was that they were huge in size and looked like ferocious beasts.
Most people in the Fire Country thought the same. They felt that the bigger the size of a pet beast, the stronger its fighting power. The nobles were even more so.
Hence, the majority of the pet beasts in the black market were also large sized pet beasts.
“Grass type pet beasts will do. It would be best if they are good at attacking, their origins are clear, and there are no other requirements.”
Fang Yuan calmly stated his requirements.
“Grass type? Attack?” The boss cupped his chin as he was thinking. “This is the first time I’ve heard of such a requirement. The majority of grass type pet beasts are support type pet beasts. If you want to heal, control and support, the grass type pet beasts have many choices. But if you want to attack,” the boss seemed to have thought of something, “There’s one.”
They walked quickly and came to the black market near the street. There was a lizard in a cage with flower buds growing on its back. Four vine tentacles were growing from the flower buds and underneath was the lizard.
“Vine lizard, this is one of the best fighting experts among grass-type pet beasts. Do you want to take a look?”
Fang Yuan was extremely satisfied with this pet beast. First of all, it was two meters long, and with the flower bud on its back, which should be one meter tall, it looked extremely fierce. However, the lizard had been lying on the ground motionlessly, and the vines looked a little yellowish.
“Why does this lizard look sick?” Fang Yuan asked.
“Grass-type pet beasts can’t live without sunlight and water. We have unlimited supply of water, but if it’s sunlight, you have to take it for sunbathe. As long as it stays under the Sun for two hours, it will recover quickly,” the boss explained. “Do you want to take a look?”
“Yes.” Fang Yuan nodded. The boss pressed a button, and the cage was pushed in front of Fang Yuan.
The lizard looked at Fang Yuan with lifeless eyes, then closed its eyes to rest. However, the boss pressed the button again, and it seemed that a burst of electricity had passed through its body, making it energetic. The vines even gathered together to attack the boss, but the moment they touched the cage, the vines seemed to be hit by an even greater electric shock, and they immediately shrank back.
“Little b*stard, you still dare to mess with me.”
The boss said fiercely and was about to press the electric shock button again.
Fang Yuan stopped him and said, “I’ll take this pet beast. How much does it cost?”
Hearing that Fang Yuan wanted to buy a pet beast, the boss immediately put on a smiling expression on his face.
He rubbed his hands and then stretched out five fingers.
“500 million?”
“Young man, seeing you have travelled all over the world, you can be considered to have seen a lot. You definitely won’t make a low-class mistake.”
The boss smiled and said, “Don’t joke around. It’s five billion. Five billion for platinum intermediate-grade platinum vine lizard, it’s a great deal.”
Fang Yuan was not shocked by the price of five billion.
He had already found a way to earn money. What shocked him more was that the grade of the vine lizard was actually platinum intermediate-grade!
After being strengthened, wouldn’t he be able to directly obtain a platinum high-grade grass-type pet? It was hard to imagine that a few months ago, he was still fighting for a silver-grade pet. Now, a platinum high-grade was right in front of him.
Fang Yuan calculated in his mind that he would need to make dozens of trips back and forth to the trainer’s equipment store for a price of five billion. However, the inflation was too severe. He would need to farm until the trainers in Shanghai were exhausted.
“Boss, I won’t buy it for the time being. Can I pick it up the day after tomorrow? I don’t have that much money with me.” Fang Yuan said.
“Sure, but if you don’t have money, I can still give you this pet.”
The boss said with a smile.
Was there really such a good thing? Fang Yuan felt that he could have heard wrong. He looked at the boss with a puzzled expression.
He didn’t know what he was thinking.
“You were introduced by Liu Xiwen, right? We understand that your laboratory has a potion that can allow pet beasts to evolve to a higher level. If you can tell me the secret formula, this vine lizard will be given to you as a gift.”
The boss said that since he could be the boss of the black market, he naturally had a certain level of vision and strength. Although at the beginning, he saw that Fang Yuan was just an ordinary student, but along the way, he saw so many platinum grade pet beasts but was not moved at all. He did not even show any fear on his face.
Moreover, he had been introduced by Liu Xiwen, so the boss had guessed a possibility, that he was Fang Yuan, the man who had created the gryphon legion.
“You have the formula, right, Fang Yuan?”
A flattering smile was on the boss’s face.
It seemed that the Yan Country’s trainers were indeed lacking in some aspects. Just like Fang Yuan, he had once thought that the evolution of a pet beast was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, until he saw that the void blood claw could evolve through battle in the underground colosseum. After that, Zhao Ren cultivated the evolution potion, and finally completed the perfect evolution by exchanging the materials during the arcane realm certification.
Most of the trainers were like this black market boss, thinking about the potion that could raise a pet beast’s grade to be invincible.
“I do have the secret formula for the evolution potion, but you can also see that I am only a student and I can not remember that secret formula, so it is impossible for me to tell you.” Fang Yuan replied, “However, I have a ready-made bottle of evolution potion here. You can take it, but if something happens that violates the law, you know the consequences.”
“Okay, okay, okay! Don’t worry!”
Hearing that there was an evolution potion, the boss looked excited.
Fang Yuan did have a bottle of evolution potion. He had originally planned to keep it for Ah Li. But now he no longer needed this potion to evolve, as he wanted to challenge the arcane realm and evolve more thoroughly and perfectly, so he had given up on the idea of evolution using potion.
He took out the blue potion bottle from his backpack and handed it to the black market boss. Fang Yuan said, “This potion has a limit. This level of potion can only evolve a platinum low-grade to intermediate-grade.”
As he said this, Fang Yuan thought of his system. As the pet’s grade increased, the effect became worse and worse. His system could only evolve a platinum low-grade to platinum high-grade. This evolution potion, looked like a weakened version of the system. The only advantage was that anyone could use it. However, in terms of amplification, no one could compare to Fang Yuan who used cheats.
