Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 15 I, Jiang Chen, am finally rich!

Jiang Chen was overjoyed to have killed a sea beast so easily.

In terms of market price, an awakened-level early-stage sea monster costs 1000 yuan, a mid-stage one costs 3000 yuan, and a late-stage one costs 6000 yuan.

In other words, with just one bite from Xiao Jiu's lips, the two of them pocketed 1000 yuan, and Jiang Chen's hard-earned salary from half a month's part-time job at school was in his hands!

Yes, all the sea monsters hunted during this practical training exercise belong to the students; the school will not take a single penny!

This is why everyone is so excited and looking forward to this hunting trip on the Nanhu underwater grassland.

It not only improves your hunting skills and provides valuable combat experience, but also yields spoils of war—it's an incredible benefit!

Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief; he wouldn't have to eat steamed buns anymore for the next few days.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly turned to stare at Nangong Yan beside him and whispered:

"Xiaoyan?"

"Huh?" Nangong Yan was taken aback when he saw Jiang Chen staring straight at him with his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, I remember your dad was a professional beast tamer, right?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Yan, I remember your family is quite wealthy, right?"

"What exactly do you mean? Just say it!" Feeling uneasy under this strange stare, Nangong Yan felt a little uneasy.

"Xiao Yan, you know my family is in dire financial straits. We're dirt poor, and even if we split this 1000 yuan in half, it's only 500 yuan."

"I suppose this 500 yuan is as light as a feather in your eyes, Nangong Yan. You probably wouldn't even pick it up if it were thrown on the street, would you?"

"No," Nangong Yan retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. Five yuan is fine, but I would definitely pick up 500 yuan!"

Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless, then rolled his eyes again, revealing his true intentions: "So, the profits from this giant water rat are mine, how about it?"

Now it was Nangong Yan's turn to roll his eyes!

Good heavens, it turns out that Jiang Chen, that brat, has been rambling on for half a day because he's after my 500 yuan!

"I refuse. My son earns his money, and as his father, I should naturally enjoy a share!" Nangong Yan wasn't stupid; he directly refused.

Jiang Chen was speechless and could only suppress his ulterior motives.

After cleaning up the battlefield a bit, the two continued hunting in the underwater grassland.

However, the two did not venture deep into the grassland rashly. Instead, they moved to the left and right, continuing to stay on the outer edge of the Nanhu underwater grassland, searching for sea monsters while fighting.

The two of them made this choice after careful consideration.

First: The distribution of sea beasts in the Nanhu underwater grassland: the sea beasts in the middle are relatively powerful, all of them are at the late stage of awakening, while most of the sea beasts in the outer area are at the early stage of awakening.

Although Nangong Yan had visited the desolate sea several times before with his father, this was his first time hunting independently.

Jiang Chen was also a young woman sitting on a flower for the first time, and she looked very delicate and pretty!

Both of them have extensive theoretical knowledge, but zero practical experience!

So the two decided to get used to the area on the outskirts first before venturing into the grassland.

We're newcomers after all, so we can't take too big a step. Otherwise, what if we accidentally hurt some delicate organ?

Second: Jiang Chen wanted to leave himself a way out.

He's truly penniless now, utterly penniless!

With only 8.7 yuan in his entire fortune, Jiang Chen must make the most of this rare opportunity to enter the desolate sea!

We need to earn back our living expenses and training costs for the next few days before venturing into the heart of the grasslands to fight, right?

What if the two of them are unlucky and encounter some invincible sea monster as soon as they enter, and are eliminated directly? Wouldn't he be more wronged than Dou E?

So let's kill a dozen or so early-stage awakened sea beasts first. With food in our pockets, we won't have any worries when we enter the depths of the grassland.

Nangong Yan did not object to Jiang Chen's suggestion.

As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Although the school said that most of the powerful sea monsters live in the central area of ​​the underwater grassland.

But marine mammals are animals, not inanimate objects. They move around, they hunt, and they don't stay in one place forever!

Therefore, staying on the periphery to adapt first and having a backup plan is the more rational and correct approach.

……

Time flowed slowly, and before we knew it, the light on the horizon dimmed.

The sunlight was no longer dazzling, but turned into a pale red afterglow, a color between day and night, weakly shining on the sea and struggling to penetrate the water.

As the sun set, Jiang Chen's visibility in the seawater also decreased dramatically.

During the day, the field of vision in the water can be two or three hundred meters, but now it has been reduced to about one hundred meters.

Furthermore, as night falls, Jiang Chen's field of vision will predictably continue to shrink!

The lush green sea plants around them turned dark at this moment, and the thick, heavy shadows seemed to weigh on their hearts, making them feel a heavy sense of psychological oppression!

Nighttime is the domain of sea creatures!

The two of them had to find a hiding place immediately!

"Whoosh!"

After Xiao Jiu and the Tentacle Shrimp joined forces to kill another Blue-Armored Crab, Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan immediately stuffed the Blue-Armored Crab into a net behind them, and then turned around and swam towards the outside of the Nanhu Undersea Grassland without saying a word!

Yes, that's also why they didn't want to venture deeper into the underwater grassland at noon. They arrived at the underwater grassland around 10 or 11 a.m. today. If they went deeper into the underwater grassland then, they would have to leave time to retreat later, which would be too rushed.

The two had been staying on the outer edge of the Nanhu underwater grassland, so they withdrew in less than ten minutes.

They quickly swam out of the dense, lush underwater grassland, and saw that Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan were each trailing a huge net behind them.

And inside the net were sea monsters, one after another!

There were giant water rats, blue-shelled crabs, knife fish, and turtle-shelled climbing perch, among others. Together, the two of them caught nearly 14 marine creatures, making for a very rich harvest!

So after swimming out of the underwater grassland of Nanhu, the two of them immediately had excited expressions on their faces!

Jiang Chen, in particular, grinned so wide his mouth almost reached his earlobes!

We're rich!

I, Jiang Chen, am finally rich!

Beautiful!

Xiao Jiu, who was standing to the side, originally had some complaints about this hard work. Being lazy by nature, it was already tired and hungry after being forced to fight for most of the day by Jiang Chen, and it didn't want to move a single finger.

However, when Jiang Chen told it that he could buy a lot of small yellow croakers for it after selling the spoils of these sea beasts, the big cat's eyes immediately lit up!

Xiao Jiu: (ω)!

Meow! My human finally gave me a better meal!

The two people and two beasts, pulling the two large nets of spoils, quickly returned to the school's ship terminal to register their points.

This is a convenience provided by the school to the students. Although the students have to take care of their own clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation during the seven-day practical hunting trip, the school is willing to help them keep their spoils safe.

Firstly, it's to make it easier to calculate points; secondly, these sea monster spoils, if not handled properly, cannot be sold for a good price.

Third, the live-fire training lasts for seven days, and it would be too inconvenient for the students to keep all the spoils of war themselves.

After quickly registering all the spoils, Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan jumped back into the sea.

As darkness fell completely, the two had to find shelter immediately.

(Something came up today, so Chapter 2 will be a little late.)
