Chapter 870 -870: Hidden Rules

In a small hut in the slums, Jones opened the door, stepped inside, then closed the door. He naturally walked over to the window next to him, glanced outside, and only after making sure there was nothing unusual did he pull the curtains down.

Not until then did Jones turn on the light inside the hut, illuminating the space.

The light bulb was dim, but it still allowed one to see the figure seated behind the table in the hut, a person with dragon horns, wearing strange armor.

“Mr. Jiao,” Jones said as he pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him.

“You’re seven minutes and eight seconds late. What happened?” Mr. Jiao stared at Jones as he asked.

“Catherine called for an urgent meeting. All subordinates and staff had to attend. I couldn’t get out of it, so I had to attend the meeting before coming here,” Jones explained.

...

“Was the emergency meeting related to the Diman Tribe?” Mr. Jiao asked directly.

“No, Catherine wants two pets from Commerce Star, but she doesn’t know who their owner is. She asked us to come up with a way to acquire those two pets for her,” Jones recounted the situation in detail.

Mr. Jiao listened and seemed slightly disappointed, asking no further. He changed the topic, “You’ve been with Catherine for four years now. How is the plan progressing?”

“With a person as suspicious as Catherine, one can’t easily earn her trust. I’ve been in her manor for four years, and to this day, I haven’t been able to gain her trust. It’s difficult to make any further progress,” Jones replied with a sense of helplessness.

“The Divine Echo Team will soon be fully activated. It’s very important that we succeed with Catherine’s side. You’ll need to give it more thought and earn her trust as soon as possible,” Mr. Jiao stated.

“I would like to, but she’s too cautious. There’s no opportunity,” Jones said, then suddenly paused, “Maybe this is an opportunity. She suspects there’s something wrong with my Heaven-Deceiving Liquid and refuses to use it. If I could use this chance to acquire those two pets for her with the Heaven-Deceiving Liquid, I should be able to gain some trust.”

“It’s worth a try,” Mr. Jiao nodded in agreement.

“But now there’s a problem. I need to have a Nirvana pet to use the Heaven-Deceiving Liquid. As you know, I can’t use it on my own pets. If any issue is detected, it would ruin all our previous plans,” Jones said thoughtfully.

“Before that happens, the Heaven-Deceiving Liquid must be used on Catherine’s pet, and absolutely no mistakes can occur,” Mr. Jiao contemplated for a moment and continued.

“I can’t do that,” Jones said, spreading his hands.

Mr. Jiao pondered for a moment, searched his person for a while, then took out a Pet Capsule and a Pet Key and handed them to Jones, “Use this pet with the Heaven-Deceiving Liquid to win the pets Catherine desires.”

“What is this?” Jones didn’t take them, instead looking up at Mr. Jiao. If he used an undocumented pet, it might make Catherine even more suspicious of him and even harder to earn her trust.

“Don’t worry, no one will be able to see through it. This is just a common Nirvana Level Blue Evil Demon. Don’t you have one as well?” Mr. Jiao said with a smile.

“Blue Evil Demon?” Jones was slightly taken aback, “The Blue Evil Demon’s attributes are generally low, and despite being at the Nirvana Level, it’s rare for their attributes to surpass three hundred. Their talents, Life Base, and Nirvana Attributes are more supportive in nature; they might not be able to defeat those top-tier Ascension Pets.”

Jones was quite familiar with the Blue Evil Demon, a pet native to his homeland, ranging from Base Mutation Level to Nirvana Level, and was one of the most common creatures from the Youyi Tribe’s home planet.

“Not just any Blue Evil Demon would suffice, but this one is different,” Mr. Jiao said flatly, “It is the only fairly successful specimen that survived from tens of thousands of experimental Blue Evil Demons. Its attributes are not inferior to top Nirvana Pets; it is almost perfect in every attribute, except for slightly less rigidity.”

Jones, a bit surprised, picked up the Pet Capsule and the key, checking the pet’s information. It was just as Mr. Jiao had described: the only imperfect attribute this Blue Evil Demon had was rigidity, slightly less than the maximum value.

Such a Nirvana Pet, even if its skills and Nirvana Attributes were supportive in nature, wasn’t something Ascension Pets could contend with.

“When you enter the bidding war, use this Blue Evil Demon. If Catherine wants to see it, just show her your Blue Evil Demon. This trick should be easy for you,” Mr. Jiao instructed.

“That would be best, both earning Catherine’s trust and arousing her interest in the Heaven-Deceiving Liquid. The suspicion towards me would be much reduced,” Jones said, a vicious expression flickering across his face. “Once we take down the Diman Tribe, I’m going to make that woman, Catherine, beg for life without hope for death as retribution for the humiliation I’ve endured under her in these years.”

“Jones, you’ve suffered these past few years. Bear with it a little longer. The big picture takes precedence. Soon our God-making Race will become the masters of the Cosmic. Then you can deal with Catherine however you wish,” Mr. Jiao said as he got up, patted Jones on the shoulder, wrapped himself in his cloak, and left the hut.

Jones tidied things up, sat for a while in the hut, then finally turned off the lights and left.

After returning to Ao Star, Jones didn’t act immediately but quietly waited a few days.

Catherine spent these days trying to acquire the Dragon Hunter and the Supersource Holy Shield Dragon. She also understood the pet bid wars where the pets themselves are the stakes, just as Jones had described. If the challenger wasn’t very careful, it would be difficult to spot the subterfuge.

To be precise, using pets as stakes isn’t a bet, but a mode of bid war.

The ordinary mode is using Commerce Star Coins as the stake, while the other mode still uses Commerce Star Coins as the stake, but changes to a pet life-and-death battle. If you lose, you lose your pet along with it and cannot concede.

Not many people are aware of this mode, and even fewer can switch modes. Challenging in this way—those who don’t know—can hardly tell the difference between the two modes.

The only difference is that the invitation column for a regular bid war reads “Pet Bid War,” while the other is labelled “Pet Life-and-Death Battle,” a detail easily overlooked.

Mainly because Commerce Star had appeared too recently, most people hadn’t been able to study many of its functions.

And those who have figured out the hidden rules only use these insights to make money and wouldn’t easily disclose them.

The mode for a pet life-and-death battle could indeed take the opponent’s pet, but Catherine couldn’t find an Ascension Level pet confident enough to beat the Three-Life Base Holy Shield Dragon straight away.

“If only the Dragon Hunter and Supersource Holy Shield Dragon were at Nirvana Level, my Great Power Heavenly Dragon should be almost invincible among the Nirvana Level pets in single combat, securing them shouldn’t be a problem,” Catherine thought to herself.
