My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

Xia Yu waved his hand, refusing to take the flyer.

He has his own path.

The trading market is clearly divided internally.

The general area is the largest, occupying half of the area, and it sells pet eggs with common attributes, with prices ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands.

The premium section has a better environment and the eggs are of more beautiful appearance, often costing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

The special offer section is a mixed bag.

Returned eggs, eggs in poor condition, or eggs that cannot hatch are all piled up here.

Lucky people can find treasures, while unlucky people buy things that are just dead eggs.

The auction area was in another building, which Xia Yu did not plan to go to.

In places like that, 200,000 yuan wouldn't even get you a foothold.

His target was the discount section.

The quality of eggs in both the regular and premium sections is written on the label, and the sellers have also done basic assessments, so there's very little room for finding a bargain.

Only in the special offer section can you find hidden gems that have been misjudged.

Xia Yu didn't rush straight to the discount section, but instead slowly walked through the crowd first.

He pretended to be an ordinary young beast tamer, looking around and touching everything, occasionally commenting on the pet eggs on the shelf, "This one has pretty fire patterns," or "That one is a bit expensive."

At the same time, he silently activated the Pokédex in his mind.

[Scanning...]

A semi-transparent data panel appeared in his field of vision, visible only to him.

A row of pet eggs on the shelf was labeled "Mudfish Egg, Race Level: High, Price: 16888".

The results of scanning the encyclopedia were quite different.

【Mud-boiled Loach Eggs】

[Attribute: Water]

[Energy Level: 1]

[Race Rank: High-Tier]

【Feature: Gliding】

[Qualifications: Poor]

The listed price and the actual situation are basically consistent.

But the "poor" qualifications are really an eyesore.

If this egg ends up in the hands of some unlucky beast tamer, it'll most likely end up as the water cooler manager of the beast taming space.

Chapter 8 Boss, I'm a student...

Xia Yu walked to the next row without making a sound.

"Little Flame Sparrow Egg, Race Level: Extraordinary, Price: 38888".

Xia Yu continued scanning with the encyclopedia.

[Little Flamebird Egg]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Energy Level: 1]

[Race Level: Extraordinary]

【Characteristic: Strong Wings】

[Qualification: Average]

It's barely reasonable to buy a pet egg with average aptitude but the maximum potential for extraordinary pets for 38,000.

Xia Yu continued walking forward, sweeping as he went.

The Pokémon Pokédex flashed through his vision, line after line of data.

After scanning more than a dozen eggs, Xia Yu discovered a pattern.

The price listed on most eggs matches their actual quality.

Occasionally, a few eggs with slightly higher prices may look quite good, and the sellers may have used some tricks to beautify the eggshells, but they are still ordinary quality.

However, there are one or two exceptions.

There was a "groundhog egg" priced at 20,000 in the corner of the shelf. A quick scan of the encyclopedia showed that its species level was only low-level. I wonder if it had undergone a genetic mutation.

They're basically no better than ordinary mice.

Buying a useless person for 20,000 yuan is a huge loss.

"These days, there are more liars than eggs."

Xia Yu mentally complained.

However, he had no intention of becoming a champion of justice.

He came here for only one purpose: to find the undervalued egg.

Xia Yu turned a corner and headed towards the discount section.

The special offers section presents a completely different picture.

Instead of fancy display cases, there are rows of simple plastic baskets.

The eggshells were dusty and some were covered with dirt and hay. The labels were crookedly pasted on the edge of the basket, with illegible handwriting.

"Take a look! Special offer, no returns or exchanges!"

"This rock turtle egg, originally priced at 80,000, is now only 8,000! It's not in great condition, but it's guaranteed to live!"

"Water-based egg white pastry, 10,000 each, buy one get one free!"

The vendors' shouts rose and fell, a stark contrast to the refined "please take your time choosing" attitude of the boutique area.

Xia Yu plunged headlong into the crowd.

The presence of many people and distractions actually made it easier for him to scan.

The encyclopedia is working frantically in the shadows.

[Iron Fang Rat Egg, Average Qualification...]

[Poisonous Stinger Egg, Average Qualification...]

[Rock-shelled turtle egg, extremely poor quality...]

After scanning more than a dozen, Xia Yu's heart sank lower and lower.

There's a reason why the special offer section is called a special offer section.

The vast majority of eggs here are indeed on sale, and they are also definitely junk.

But he didn't give up.

The encyclopedia entry by Tongzi doesn't lie.

He can turn the tide as long as there is even one misjudged egg.

Xia Yu walked to a stall deep inside the discount section.

This stall is even more dilapidated than the others.

A thin layer of dust had accumulated on the plastic basket. The stall owner, a man in his fifties, was dozing off in his chair, snoring softly.

There were very few eggs in the basket, and the writing on the label was almost faded.

Xia Yu squatted down and picked up an egg at random.

The eggshell is dull and grayish-brown, with fine cracks covering its surface.

Xia Chi ran his fingers over the egg and discovered that these were the egg's natural patterns, but it looked like a broken, unusable egg.

The label was affixed to the edge of the basket.

"Unknown variety, surface defects, special price 100,000."

One hundred thousand.

Selling for 100,000 in the special offer section speaks volumes about the price itself.

Regular discounted eggs cost only a few thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, but this one is priced at 100,000 yuan. It was probably returned by some sucker.

Xia Yu clicked his tongue inwardly and was about to put it down when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Since we're already here, scanning it won't hurt us.

He mentally issued the scan command.

The energy ripples from the encyclopedia fell silently onto the dusty egg.

[Scan complete!]

【Spell Serpent】

[Energy Level: 5]

[Racial Rank: Cataclysm]

【Characteristic: Cursed Body】

Xia Yu's hand paused.

He stared at the grayish-brown egg in his hand, feeling his heart skip a beat.

Racial level: Calamity; Initial level: 5; Excellent potential; Dual attribute bonus: Spirit...
