Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 369 Double-crossing! Advanced yet backward!

Upon hearing this, the other party...

Hey.

That's how it is.

He had no doubt about the truth of Qiao Bai's words, or perhaps he believed that Qiao Bai had no power to resist him.

"OK."

"You're pretty savvy."

"I'll make sure you get something in return."

The other party spoke with absolute certainty.

Qiao Bai smiled again but didn't say anything.

No need.

There's no need to get angry with such a simple-minded idiot; it just lowers your own standards.

In the alley.

Qiao Bai released six pet beasts directly.

A few minutes.

The advantage has been reversed.

Qiao Bai casually straightened his sleeves.

The robe was too long.

I'm still not used to it.

What?

People on the ground?

Whoops!

There's no one there!

I didn't see it at all!

Space Pocket +1

Qiao Bai carefully put away the spatial pouch he had "inexplicably" picked up and looked at the trash on the ground.

Think for a moment.

He certainly wouldn't do something like murder or arson.

But if we just leave the person here... won't that cause us unnecessary trouble later?

"I almost forgot, I think I was wearing a cloak too?"

The other person couldn't even see his face clearly.

That makes things simple.

Knock him unconscious.

Tie them up.

Find an inconspicuous place and throw it away.

The rest is up to fate.

Qiao Bai patted his sleeves and left without a trace.

Qiao Bai did not exit through the original exit of the alley.

It's uncertain whether anyone is watching outside, or if they'll discover something as he walks out.

We changed the exit.

Before leaving, Qiao Bai casually rummaged through the newly acquired spatial pouch.

"So small." Qiao Bai raised an eyebrow and said from the bottom of her heart.

Really.

It wasn't that he was belittling the guy who robbed people halfway through the journey.

This purse is really... less than half the size of the one Jiang Yi gave him before.

However, what's stuffed inside looks quite interesting.

These were all herbs that Qiao Bai hadn't seen before.

There are also sparkling gems.

Finally, there's gold.

Qiao Bai: "!"

Take them out, take them out, take them all out.

Empty your wallet!

In the end, only an empty purse remained.

Qiao Bai didn't keep it on him for long.

Instead, he found a shop that resembled a pawnshop that he had seen during his previous exploration.

of course.

It's not that big.

Judging from its size, it's more like a small, privately owned shop.

Qiao Bai walked in without looking to either side, without saying a word, and took out the empty space pouch he had just emptied and slapped it on the counter.

"when."

The shopkeeper behind the counter glanced at Qiao Bai.

Without saying anything, he simply picked up the spatial pouch on the counter and examined it carefully before speaking.

"Tier 1 Alchemy Space Bag, market price 100 gold coins, pawn for 50 gold coins."

After saying that, the shopkeeper smiled and looked at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai, whose face was hidden beneath the black robe, raised an eyebrow: "So dark?"

Cut it in half!

Resell it and you'll make a 100% profit!

"This quasi-alchemist."

You can tell whether someone is good or bad just by their opening remarks.

This title.

Compared to an apprentice alchemist, this is several levels higher.

The ordinary apprentices were overjoyed to hear this.

after all.

According to Jiang Yi's previous statement.

It's hard to say whether an ordinary apprentice can become a real alchemist.

Even if you add the word "quasi" in front of it, an ordinary alchemy apprentice would still feel overjoyed.

Business deals become much easier to discuss then, don't they?

However, Qiao Bai was no ordinary alchemy apprentice.

Even before today, he had no interest in this profession.

Being addressed like that by someone doesn't really bother me.

Qiao Bai didn't care at all.

The shopkeeper behind the counter looked at Qiao Bai with some surprise.

The saying goes well.

A smile is always present when you meet someone.

It's never wrong to be overly polite.

Using honorifics will make guests feel much happier, no matter what.

It's the same thing Qiao Bai said.

No alchemy apprentice could resist the allure of that title.

They would be somewhat happy.

A person who can remain calm and composed in the face of honor or disgrace... unless he is a true master alchemist!

Upon realizing this, the shopkeeper's attitude instantly changed.

His gaze toward Qiao Bai held a new seriousness.

"Well... the main thing is the origin of your alchemical spatial bag, isn't it..."

Previously, the shop owner would have said these words without any restraint.

However, there are now doubts about Qiao Bai's identity.

The shopkeeper's attitude changed accordingly.

Qiao Bai nodded.

Understand.

The shopkeeper realized he had gotten the spatial bag through a swindle.

"You still care about these things?" Qiao Bai calmly reached out and tapped the table.

His tone was calm.

It seems they are simply curious about the answer to this question.

"I thought..."

Qiao Bai drew out his words.

He noticed that the shopkeeper's pupils contracted sharply for a moment.

Although I don't know what this person was thinking.

However, Qiao Bai would not let go of any opportunity he could take advantage of.

"You just need to accept it, you don't care about anything else."

Qiao Bai said with a light laugh.

The shopkeeper chuckled awkwardly and laughed it off: "That's true... but we also have to bear certain risks!"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper looked at Qiao Bai's hand again.

Qiao Bai had already taken it back.

But the shop owner was very certain.

Qiao Bai's hands are very young.

Slender and fair-skinned.

There were no calluses or wounds.

Soft yet powerful.

These hands look like they belong to someone who has lived a life of luxury.

Anyone who has ever done even a little farm work could not possibly have hands like these.

Although she wasn't wearing any jewelry or rings on her fingers.

But the shop owner dared not underestimate them at all.

Just by looking at his hands, the guest in front of me must be from a wealthy family.

even……

The shop owner dared not think any further.

"80 gold coins!"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, sweat almost pouring down his forehead.

Bottom line!

If it goes up any higher, you won't make any money!

The price of a Tier 1 alchemical space bag generally fluctuates between 90 and 110 gold coins.

Like recently.

The joint event between Ander City and Twin Cities attracted many alchemists and apprentices from other places, causing the price of alchemical storage bags to rise accordingly.

If you're lucky.

It can buy a little over 110 gold coins.

Qiao Bai stared at the shopkeeper for a long time.

Just when the shop was about to go under, Qiao Bai calmly said, "Then let's make it 80."

"but……"

Before the shop owner could even feel happy, Qiao Bai dragged out his words again: "I don't want any more trouble to come my way."

"This shouldn't be too difficult."

"Don't worry!" The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "I guarantee no one will bother you because of this alchemical space bag!"

Qiao Bai nodded.

The transaction is underway.

Paying for a space bag obtained through double-crossing.

You have earned 80 gold coins.

Ding ding ding ding.

The shopkeeper took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai opened it and glanced at it, then paused for a moment.

This... this gold coin is different from the round, bronze coin that Jiang Yi gave him in his spatial bag!

Qiao Bai originally thought...

The gold coin is just a name; its shape and appearance should be similar to the one in his spatial bag.

I didn't expect it to be so much worse.

The gold coins the shopkeeper mentioned are gold coins in the literal sense.

Golden.

Golden.

The coin features a balance scale pattern in the center.

...So what currency did he give that old woman before?

That's a good question.

Qiao Bai didn't know the answer for the time being.

Step by step.

talk later.

Anyway, it's best not to take that thing out and use it unless you have to.

Seeing Qiao Bai deep in thought while looking at the gold coins, the shopkeeper assumed that Qiao Bai had changed his mind again.

I was just about to say something more.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Bai had already put away the gold coins.

He turned and left the pawnshop.

I wandered around for a while.

Qiao Bai found the cleanest-looking hotel.

"One room."

A staff member immediately came forward: "Okay, dear guest, which wait would you like to receive...?"

"The best." Qiao Bai, who had just earned 80 gold coins, didn't hold back at all.

I've inexplicably time-traveled again.

This place gave Qiao Bai a feeling of being both backward and advanced.

Qiao Bai couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

In short, I'll get the best and never compromise my own well-being.

"Okay!" The staff member's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

The best room?

good good!

This is a good thing!

"The best room costs 50 silver coins per day. How many days do you plan to stay?"

"Hmm... two days, I guess."

"100 silver coins."

Qiao Bai took out a gold coin.

Although the exchange rate between the two is unknown, one gold coin should be equivalent to 100 silver coins.

Qiao Bai also paid attention to the staff's expressions when he took it out.

There was no anger.

There was no embarrassment or hesitation.

On the contrary, they seemed quite happy.

Qiao Bai figured he was probably right.

One gold coin can even be worth 100 silver coins, or more.

That's pretty much what Qiao Bai thought.

The staff member was initially delighted, but then hesitated, saying, "Dear guest, this is too much..."

"You don't need to look for the rest."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai tossed the gold coins into the hands of the staff member: "Tell me any interesting news lately."

"Okay...okay, okay!" The staff nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but become curious once again.

What are the exchange rates between the currencies here?

Isn't it 1 gold coin for 100 silver coins?

I'll look into it later.

Having received a generous tip, the staff member was so excited he was almost incoherent.

Fortunately, the other party quickly calmed down and led the way for Qiao Bai while telling him interesting news about the past few days.

"Our alchemist in Tana Town has been in a very good mood lately, and the alchemy workshop is recruiting. Many people have applied, hoping to be selected!"

"In a good mood?" I didn't expect to hear an interesting topic right away.

Qiao Bai didn't find it strange at all.

He is generous with his money.

He was also wearing a black robe.

I reckon the staff think he's an alchemist or something similar, so they'll definitely be the first to tell him about it.

Why are you in a good mood?

Qiao Bai was indeed very curious.

"Hmm... I don't really know the answer to your question, but it's said that the alchemist obtained something that made his familiar more powerful!"

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Familiar?

What is that?

For some reason, Qiao Bai suddenly thought of Xiao Wu and the "angel".

Could this be... what they call a familiar?

Jiang Yi did not show any strange expression when he saw him with Xiao Wu and "Angel".

This suggests that it is perfectly normal for alchemists or apprentices to have such creatures by their side.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any Warcraft in this era.

What is a familiar?

Ordinary living things?

Through special alchemical modifications or cultivation?

Then he gained special abilities?

Qiao Bai thought quietly without saying a word.

These are not questions directed at the staff in front of you.

Moreover, even if Qiao Bai did ask, the other party might not know.

However... Qiao Bai felt that he could take some time to visit this alchemy workshop and maybe gain something special.

The staff member then shared some other information.

Most of them are rumors about certain powerful groups and families in the town.

Qiao Bai wasn't very interested; he'd just listen and move on.

After respectfully escorting Qiao Bai to his room, the staff handed him a uniquely shaped round metal object before turning and leaving.

Qiao Bai entered the room.

There hasn't been a chance to do anything yet.

humming-

The previously dim room instantly became bright.

Qiao Bai stood still.

She blinked curiously.

"Fully automatic?"

What is the principle behind this?

Qiao Bai couldn't resist his curiosity and stepped forward to carefully observe the lit-up lights.

Then, to my surprise, I discovered...

"An oil lamp?"

"Candle?"

"Wait? What is this jewel-like thing?"

Qiao Bai's last gaze fell on the main light source in the room, the shimmering crystal chandelier overhead.

The room is a bit high.

Qiao Bai couldn't see clearly.

The lights around were all oil lamps and candles, and the only amazing thing was that they lit up on their own.

Qiao Bai was more curious about the chandelier in the middle.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Qiao Bai released the small jellyfish.

Don't ask.

The answer is that it really works.

The little jellyfish complied with Qiao Bai's wishes and lifted him up, allowing him to easily touch the chandelier above his head.

"It really is a gemstone!" Qiao Bai leaned closer to take a look.

I thought I had misread it before.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a real golden gemstone.

For some reason, after several refractions, the final light was milky white with a touch of dazzling color.

very nice.

It's also very dazzling.

Qiao Bai wasn't mentally prepared, and his eyes were momentarily blinded.

My curiosity about the chandelier vanished.

Qiao Bai began to wonder, how did the light turn on by itself?

Especially candles and ordinary oil lamps.

Because they sensed someone was coming?!

That's not right either.

Qiao Bai finally looked at the small round piece in his hand: "Is this it?"

After thinking it over, Qiao Bai felt that the small round piece was the most likely possibility.

"It's a bit like a modern hotel."

Qiao Bai sighed once again.

It is this feeling.

It feels both outdated and advanced!

The hotel's facilities seem to be in line with modern standards, at most just a little different in style.

But Qiao Bai had not forgotten the old woman he had met before.

They lived in thatched huts.

They can't even get enough to eat.

At an age when he should still be considered young, he appears listless and aged.

Qiao Bai sighed as he thought about it.

Forget it.
