My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

Xia Yu readily admitted, "But as for the results, you'll know once you let her take it back and try it."

Lin Sisi accepted the energy cube and thanked him sincerely.

She put the energy cube into her bag and then walked towards the door.

Tang Yun followed behind, and before leaving, she looked back at Xia Yu with a complicated expression.

This boss... is really handsome, and really dark-skinned.

Xia Yu understood the meaning in Tang Yun's eyes when she left, but he didn't care.

What's wrong with the black spots?

You can only make money if you have black spots.

The wind chimes at the door jingled as the two girls disappeared at the end of the street.

Chapter 7 Shanghai Pet Trading Market

Xia Yu stood there and let out a long breath.

"Hey~"

Madam Xue Ling leaned closer, her fair and delicate face flushed.

Two hundred thousand!

This is a figure that Xia Yu's great-aunt couldn't earn in a year when she ran a pet shop!

"Aunt Xue, we're rich now."

Xia Yu's tone was lighthearted, "Two hundred thousand is enough for us to do a lot of things."

He quickly started calculating in his mind.

This amount of money isn't much for a pet store, so how can it be used to maximize profits?

Looking to buy pet eggs?

The world of beast taming and the world of Pokémon have one thing in common: both beasts are oviparous.

Regardless of whether your appearance is closer to that of a cat or dog or other mammal, any pet with extraordinary power is hatched from an egg.

Hatching and selling pet cubs using an incubator is indeed a stable source of income.

But with that amount of money, it's hard to say what quality of egg you can buy in Shanghai's pet trading market.

If the quality is average, the hatched product won't be competitive.

"and many more..."

Xia Yu suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up.

Pokémon Pokédex!

That thing can identify detailed information about pet eggs, including their species level, energy level, and even hidden traits.

Most people can only rely on the basic information and appearance provided by the seller when buying pet eggs.

This means that in the face of the encyclopedia, all inferior eggs and overpriced disguises have nowhere to hide.

It also means...

He can snag a bargain!

"Aunt Xue."

Xia Yu turned to look at Madam Xue Ling, "Tomorrow you'll watch the shop for me for the day, and I'm going to the Shanghai Pet Trading Market."

"Hey~"

Lady Xue Ling blinked and nodded in agreement.

When Lin Sisi pushed open the door, the baby fire lizard had already jumped off her shoulder impatiently.

"Chirp!"

The little guy flicked its tail, and the tip of its flame drew an orange-red arc in the air before landing on the mat behind the door, almost burning a hole in it.

"Stop fooling around."

Lin Sisi hung up her bag and took out the box of energy cubes that Xia Yu had given her.

The box was poorly packaged, with not a single word on it.

In Tianyan Group's high-end stores, this kind of thing probably wouldn't even qualify as a free gift.

But Lin Sisi did not underestimate them.

After all, she paid the 200,000 yuan tuition fee without batting an eye.

That was by no means an impulsive purchase, but rather her judgment the instant she saw the young fire lizard successfully interrupt Lady Snow Spirit's spellcasting.

Blocking damage-dealing skills can cripple half of the opponent's tactical system.

For a skill of this value, 200,000 is a bargain price.

And the free gift that Manager Xia offered on her own initiative...

Lin Sisi looked down at the box in her hand.

Someone who can sell a 200,000 yuan skills course with the air of "guaranteed to teach and learn" won't be stingy with freebies.

This box of seemingly ordinary cubes must hold some secret.

She opened the box.

A sweet, fruity aroma wafted out.

The baby fire lizard twitched its nose, then suddenly turned its head, its little eyes instantly changing.

"Chirp?!"

It rushed to Lin Sisi's feet in two steps, its paws pawing at her trouser leg, its tail wagging like a propeller.

"Wait."

Lin Sisi picked up a piece and then handed the cube to the baby fire lizard's mouth.

The little guy took a bite and swallowed it whole without even chewing.

then.

boom

The flames on the young fire lizard's tail suddenly flared up, leaping nearly half a meter high. The heat made Lin Sisi instinctively take a half-step back.

"Chirp!"

The baby fire lizard itself was startled.

It looked down at its tail, then at its paws, and felt a warm current surging through its body.

Lin Sisi was stunned.

She fed the young fire lizards high-grade spirit fruits.

The premium Crimson Flame Fruit produced by Tianyan Group can increase the concentration of fire-attribute energy within a pet's body.

Each one costs several hundred dollars, and after eating it, the tail flame of the young fire lizard does indeed become more intense.

However, compared to this energy block, the effect of the Crimson Flame Fruit is rather unremarkable.

And this is just the effect of a single cube.

Lin Sisi took out her phone and scrolled to the payment records.

Recipient: Miaomiao Pet House.

Recipient: Xia Yu.

She opened the map and saved the location of Miaomiao's Pet House to her favorites.

"I must go and see it again later."

The next morning, Xia Yu bid farewell to Madam Xue Ling with a huge sum of 200,000 yuan in his pocket.

"Aunt Xue, I'm going to get some supplies. Keep an eye on the house."

Lady Snow Spirit is watering the orchard in the backyard.

She straightened up and made a soft "yes" to indicate that she understood.

The streets of Shanghai were still damp in the early morning, and sunlight filtered through the leaves of the plane trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

As Xia Yu walked, he mentally confirmed the plan with the system.

"Brother Tongzi, what is the scanning range of the Pokédex?"

The scanning range is ten meters in radius and can simultaneously lock onto and detect up to three targets.

Xia Yu nodded to himself.

That's enough. There will definitely be a lot of people in the special offer area, so I can sneak in and grab some items quietly without attracting attention.

The Shanghai Pet Trading Market is located in the eastern suburbs of the city and covers a vast area.

As Xia Yu emerged from the subway station, he could see the magnificent archway at the market entrance from afar, with a line of gilded characters engraved on it.

The origin of all beasts.

The entrance was bustling with people, with beast tamers dressed in various styles coming and going. Some were carrying pet eggs, some were with newly hatched cubs, and others were queuing at the testing station at the entrance for qualification assessment.

The air was filled with the scents of various types of energy.

"Young man, is this your first time here?"

A middle-aged man with a big smile approached, holding a stack of flyers in his hand.

"My stall is in the premium section, B-17. We have pet eggs of all kinds, quality guaranteed. Buy an egg and get a hatching guide for free. Want to take a look?"

"I'll just wander around for a bit first."
