Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!.

Chapter 451 More money is needed

The collector elegantly wiped his monocle with a cloth.

"Hello, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I am an Imperial Beast Tamer. You can call me the 'Collector Emperor'. My greatest hobby in life is collecting very interesting collectibles."

To prove his words were true, the collector released a trace of his imperial aura.

With just a hint of imperial aura, he almost overwhelmed Li Cunxu.

Jiang Lingyun was overwhelmed by the aura of the Collection Emperor and fainted. Li Cunxu's legs were a little weak, and he staggered as he supported Jiang Lingyun to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Li Cunxu placed Jiang Lingyun on the recliner and then held onto the back of the recliner to keep himself from collapsing due to leg weakness.

"Your Excellency the Collector, what brings you here uninvited?"

The collector said gently, "Can you summon your beautiful dragon?"

They really came for the Pure Crystal Dragon.

Li Cunxu didn't rush to turn hostile; instead, he used the old chairman's life-saving jade to hit him.

Even before the Pure Crystal Dragon revealed itself, Li Cunxu had already come up with a plan to deal with the Collection Emperor. If successful, he could solve the troubles brought by the Collection Emperor without needing the Life-Saving Jade.

The Pure Crystal Dragon was summoned, and the Collector instantly appeared in front of it, scrutinizing it with extremely careful eyes.

"It's so beautiful, absolutely so beautiful, a flawless work of art."

The Pure Crystal Dragon was startled by the Collector Emperor's intense gaze and quickly hid behind Li Cunxu.

The collector stared intently at the Pure Crystal Dragon while asking:

"What's its name?"

Li Cunxu said, "Pure Crystal Dragon."

The collector asked, "Could you sell me this beautiful pure crystal dragon?"

The Pure Crystal Dragon glared at the Collector Emperor. If looks could kill, then it could kill the Collector Emperor a hundred times over.

Li Cunxu said with a hint of coldness, "Not for sale."

"Don't rush to decide. You can think it over carefully. I'm willing to pay a high price."

When the collector said this, he inadvertently revealed a hint of his imposing aura.

Li Cunxu was so overwhelmed by the imposing aura that he half-squatted, his hands bracing against the deck.

Li Cunxu looked up and saw the Collection Emperor staring at him with extremely cold eyes, as if to say, "Think it over carefully. If you refuse, don't blame me for taking it by force."

Coercion, blatant coercion.

Li Cunxu remained silent for a long time, his hands clenching into fists, then opening and closing them again, much like a teenager struggling repeatedly on the edge of the bottom line.

At this moment, Li Cunxu felt that his lifelike acting skills were worthy of an award-winning actor.

"Alas! The entertainment industry of the Divine Continent has lost a movie star."

Meanwhile, the sixth-tier treasure, the Heart-Concealing Pearl, in his pocket was also taking effect, preventing the Collector from using certain items that could hear thoughts to hear Li Cunxu's thoughts.

A true collector is an avid collector and would definitely possess such items.

As for where the Heart-Covering Pearl came from, Jiang Lingyun's treasure-hunting rat found it for her at the bottom of the sea, and then Li Cunxu borrowed it for use.

After struggling for a long time, Li Cunxu asked, "How much is a very high price?"

"A legendary, emperor-level resource."

"Do I still get to choose, or will you designate a resource for me?"

"I have 107 legendary, emperor-level resources for you to choose from."

Li Cunxu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

“I hatched the Pure Crystal Dragon from its egg and raised it from scratch. The bond between us surpasses everything.”

The collector coldly replied, "So what? You don't agree to sell it to me?"

Li Cunxu said, "No, what I mean is that we need to pay more, and add another legendary Emperor-level resource." "Okay."

The collector smiled with great satisfaction.

Chun Jinglong turned around and looked at Li Cunxu with disbelief.

Li Cunxu turned his head away.

"Don't blame me, I can't stop an emperor from making demands."

With tears welling up in its eyes, Pure Crystal Dragon turned and glared at the Collection Emperor with hatred. It didn't blame the heartless Li Cunxu; instead, it placed all the blame on the Collection Emperor.

The Pure Crystal Dragon unleashed a destructive dragon breath from its mouth, ready to fight the Collector to the death.

Since there was only one Heart-Covering Pearl, and Li Cunxu was worried that Chun Jinglong's acting skills were not up to par, he did not give it any advance warning.

"Don't be like that, sweetie."

Li Cunxu wouldn't let the Pure Crystal Dragon fight to the death. He grabbed the Pure Crystal Dragon's tail and pinched its mouth, extinguishing the destructive dragon breath emanating from its mouth.

Li Cunxu said, "Before I sell you the Pure Crystal Dragon, you have to agree to two conditions."

First, give me the resources now; I want to get them first and secure them.

Secondly, Crystal Dragon, come back and take Crystal Dragon away in ten days. After all, it is my partner, and I need time to say goodbye to it.

You wouldn't want a melancholy, pure crystal dragon, would you?

The collector stared intently at Li Cunxu, his gaze deep and cold.

"Get the resources first, then give him ten days to get to know each other." With his extensive experience, it all seemed like Li Cunxu was trying to stall for time and use it as an excuse to escape.

But the collector was still prepared to agree, because he was confident that Li Cunxu could not escape his grasp.

Who is he? A collector.

The so-called Ten Emperors, even if you fight them, you can still fight them to a draw thanks to your numerous collectibles and items.

By ruthlessly using some one-time collectibles, one might be able to kill one of the Ten Emperors.

Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Li Cunxu assumed he disagreed and said again:
"If you don't trust me, I can sign a contract with you."

Upon hearing that a contract had been signed, the collector nodded.

Although he was confident that he could catch up with Li Cunxu even if he tried to escape, he preferred to sign a contract to avoid trouble. There were so many collectibles in the world worth collecting, and he didn't want to waste time playing hide-and-seek with Li Cunxu.

Seeing the collector nod, Li Cunxu quickly wrote out a simple contract.

Contract details: Li Cunxu must immediately obtain two legendary, Emperor-level resources, and ten days later, the Collector Emperor must come to pick up the Pure Crystal Dragon. During this period, Li Cunxu will not run away with the Pure Crystal Dragon.

Seeing that there were no hidden traps in the contract, the collector signed it.

Actually, even if there are traps, it doesn't matter. This level of contract is binding on Li Cunxu. For him, the collector, even if the contract backfires, it's like being bitten by an ant.

After signing the contract, the Collector Emperor gave Li Cunxu the resources he had selected, and then left decisively.

Li Cunxu looked at the signed contract on the table and wanted to burst out laughing.

This contract will be proof that the collector is courting death.

Li Cunxu turned and entered the yacht room, used the small teleportation array to return to Shendu University, and hurriedly went to find the principal.

"Principal, do you know where the Alliance President is? There's something extremely urgent."

Under the principal's guidance, Li Cunxu found the former chairman.

The old chairman was explaining the cultivation method of the ethereal bamboo to the three monarchs when Li Cunxu saw him. Ignoring the strange looks from the three monarchs, he immediately rushed up and hugged the old chairman's leg. Holding the contract he had signed with the Collection Emperor, he tearfully complained to the old chairman.

That's right, Li Cunxu's method was to file a complaint.

The Pure Crystal Dragon can create the crucial purification crystal, which the old chairman highly values. However, the collector is determined to seize it by force and trickery.

The world's strongest man, a man even the Four Gods must wait for to die of old age, his wrath—I wonder how many blows the Collector Emperor's small frame can withstand.
