Beast Tamer: Hatching an Ancient Dragon at the Beginning - Chapter 57
When they arrived at the hotel arranged by the authorities, the contestants were all arranged to share a room with two people. Bai Wenshan took the initiative to room with Li Changan. After arriving at the corresponding room in the hotel, Bai Wenshan put down his luggage and asked:
“Old Li, are you sure?”
Speaking of this, he remembered the secret joy he felt when he knew that Wen Miaohua would not participate in the competition. Now, how he hoped that Wen Miaohua, the big shot, could come to participate in the competition.
Although Wen Miaohua’s written test scores were not as good as Li Changan, she had trained pets for much longer than Li Changan.
She definitely has an elite pet in her hands.
Li Changan saw Bai Wenshan’s worry. He put away his luggage and said vaguely:”It’s okay. Things will work out when the time comes. Let’s wait and see.”
Li Changan’s open-minded words made Bai Wenshan smile bitterly. It was over. Even the old Li who always liked to pretend was done.
This time, Hongyan City was going to be embarrassed.
Coming to the only city by the sea in Province Z, Li Changan naturally would not stay in the room.
As soon as he packed his luggage, he took the devastated Bai Wenshan out for a stroll.
There are three scenic spots in Suihai City, Linfeng Cliff, Zhenhai Tower and Naohai Street.
Linfeng Cliff is a cliff bordering the East China Sea. The sea breeze here is strong all year round. Although the scenery is magnificent, there are sometimes strong winds and waves.
Therefore, it is a place where many beastmasters who have contracted wind or water pets practice hard.
Li Changan came out to relax, so how could he go to a place like Linfeng Cliff for hard practice.
Zhenhai Tower is a classical tower. Every October, many tourists who come to watch the tide gather here.
Unfortunately, it is August now, and there is still some time before the high tide comes.
Therefore Zhenhai Tower was also rather quiet, with nothing much to do there.
So the two of them came to Naohai Street, one of the busiest streets in Suihai City.
Naohai Street was crowded with people, and there were the sounds of vendors hawking their wares everywhere. The aroma of various snacks, along with bursts of fireworks, poured into the noses of everyone who came to Naohai Street.
Seeing this scene, Bai Wenshan’s depressed mood dissipated a lot, and he started buying things indiscriminately.
After a while, he had a few paper bags of snacks in his hand, and in the other hand he was holding a bottle of milk tea, drinking it, without any trace of his previous bad mood.
Maomao and Yaoyao were on both sides of Li Changan’s shoulders, one lying on each side, and their petite and exquisite appearance attracted many passers-by to look back frequently.
Some bold girls even came forward and asked for a photo.
But they were all rejected by Li Changan.
Maomao held a grilled squid in his hand, chewing it, and did not forget to ask Li Changan to stop and buy some more food.
“Meow. (Changan I want this）”
“”Guji. (I want one too!)”
The voices of the two little ones came one after another. Li Changan perfectly played the role of the shit shoveler and paid for two servings.
Compared with their real meals, these snacks are simply too cheap.
After eating this piece of snacks, the money spent is not even a fraction of Maomao’s meal.
Li Changan was walking on the road and unexpectedly saw someone.
The second place in Tianheng City, Huo Yanwu.
This slender girl, who was even poorer than Wen Miaohua, was squatting on a small stall on the side of the road, playing tabletop pinball.
It is the kind that uses a spring to pop out a small ball on a board, and the reward is what the ball falls into that area.
It can be said that out of ten pinball games, nine are scams.
The remaining one is no different from robbery.
The key is that this girl is still playing very enthusiastically, and she is still muttering:”One more time, I found the feeling, one more time I can bounce the ball to the area of the grand prize.”
Li Changan took a look at the first prize, which was a sparkling deep-sea rough stone, and then looked at the money in the boss’s hand.
Girl! The money you paid for this game is enough to buy two deep-sea rough stones!
Bai Wenshan on the side couldn’t stand it anymore,”How can there be such a stupid girl who falls for such a scam?.！”
Huo Yanwu heard Bai Wenshan’s words, her eyes turned, and she pulled Bai Wenshan over.
“Since you are so capable, then come.”
Bai Wenshan was furious,”Why? You are not me!”
Huo Siyan raised a finger and said,”One hundred thousand for one win.”
Bai Wenshan immediately put the paper bag in his hand into Li Changan’s hand and ran to the stall happily.
“Okay, which one do you want to win?”
Li Changan, the stall owner:…
Huo Yanwu was stunned. She obviously didn’t expect Bai Wenshan to be so thick-skinned. She pointed to the first prize and said,”That stone.”
Bai Wenshan skillfully pulled up the spring, then shouted, scaring the stall owner.
The ball flew out at lightning speed, and before the owner could react, it fell into the first prize area.
Bai Wenshan stretched out his hand to Huo Yanwu,”Give me one hundred thousand, I won’t give you credit.”
Huo Yanwu’s eyes suddenly became bright,”Come a few more times.”
Bai Wenshan was still unaffected and said,”Pay the money first.”
Huo Yanwu grumbled dissatisfiedly and completed the first py transaction with Bai Wenshan through the mobile phone.
“”Two hundred thousand yuan has been deposited into the account for the beast-controlling treasure.”
Then Bai Wenshan immediately looked at the stall owner with a mean look on his face. The stall owner’s face changed wildly. He was in trouble. He had met a tough guy.
But based on his confidence in his device, he still let Bai Wenshan use up the remaining pinballs.
Then, with the boss’s expression as if his mother had died, he took all the remaining deep-sea raw stones.
Huo Yanwu shouted happily and hugged Bai Wenshan’s arm excitedly.
“You are so awesome!”
Bai Wenshan had a dead fish eye, tickled his nose with his little finger, and said,”You are poking me.”
Huo Yanwu’s expression suddenly froze, and then turned into a look of indignation, muttering something like”I am not young either.”
Bai Wenshan happily received 500,000 yuan, ignored Huo Yanwu, and left here with a happy face.
Huo Yanwu looked at Bai Wenshan’s departing back, stomped her feet on the spot, and said hatefully,”Straight man!”
After leaving, Bai Wenshan patted Li Changan on the shoulder and boasted to him,”Look how awesome I am. I made 500,000 yuan with just one move.”
Yaoyao on Li Changan’s shoulder slapped Bai Wenshan’s dirty hands away with disdain, and Li Changan’s tone paused for a moment.
In the end, he said tactfully,”Some of those deep-sea raw stones have a deeper aura, and there is a high probability that there is something inside.”
Bai Wenshan stopped, opened his mouth, and looked painful.
What would be produced in the deep-sea raw stone? It is likely to be a deep-sea crystal, with a market price of one million yuan per piece.
Huo Yanwu took away several of them, and the other party made millions of dollars.
“Lao Li, can I get my gun back?”
“As long as you can beat her, it’s fine.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Bai Wenshan was very sensible and continued to walk forward without looking back, for fear of seeing a scene that would make him explode.
After the snack area, Li Changan and the others came to the trading street, which was obviously much less popular than the snack street.
Even though the profession of beastmaster is popular in Donghuang Country, only a few people insist on taking the path of beastmaster.
The coldness here can be imagined.
Li Changan saw a lot of new things here, and he was itching in his heart, but most of them could not afford it.[]
To be honest, the things of the beastmaster are really expensive.
After walking for a while, we came to the famous gambling stone street.
The beastmaster’s gambling stone is much more dangerous than cutting jade. Most of the things here are ancient stones fished out from unknown secrets or dangerous places.
Due to the catastrophe, various fragments of other worlds have been continuously integrated into the blue star, so the number of such ancient stones is also very considerable.
There are also many styles of these”stones”, most of which are agate and stone, and a small part is meteorite iron from outer space and some secret boxes that cannot be opened.
The things in these”gambling stones” are also uneven.
The bad ones can open some deadly viruses or curses, and the better ones have nothing.
Except for money, the rest are safe and sound.
Those who can open some good things are fewer than those who win the lottery, let alone rare treasures.
That is limited to the oral narration of the black-hearted boss of the gambling stone shop, which is of the same nature as the fabricated story.
Li Changan and Bai Wenshan walked and stopped, and did not buy a stone.
Because they know that the water in this business is deep, they don’t want to get involved
“Guji. (There is something good, it is moonstone）”
Li Changan stopped and looked at a yellowish-brown stone on a stall.
As soon as the stall owner noticed Li Changan’s gaze, he felt happy. He finally had some business today.
In fact, there are many beast masters like Li Changan who let their pets out to observe the stones. They are everywhere.
They all use the pets’ keener perception than humans, hoping to pick out gambling stones that contain treasures.
The stall owner greeted him enthusiastically,”What do you like, young man?”
The beast masters’ gambling stones are not like those written in novels. The vendors are very shrewd!
They never look at what they have, but what the customers want.
Li Changan picked up the yellowish-brown stone and asked,”How much is it?”
��The stall owner chuckled, held up three fingers, and said,”Three hundred thousand.”
Li Changan didn’t care about the number the boss proposed, and directly said,”Three hundred.”
The stall owner’s face twisted for a while, and he said dissatisfiedly,”Brother, you are going too far. This is not bargaining, this is robbery. These are the top-quality stones mined from Taipingyuan in Danzhou!”
Li Changan had a half-smile on his face, and chuckled,”Boss, you also know that this was robbery just now! There are hundreds of millions of stones in Taipingyuan, and it only takes a few dozen to mail one or two pieces.”
The stall owner forced a smile, thinking to himself,”It seems that I have met a tough guy.”
“That won’t work either, it’s too much, let me give up, two hundred thousand.”
The smile on Li Changan’s face disappeared, and he threw down the yellowish stone and said,”Boss, your sincerity is too poor, I won’t argue with you, just put it in your pocket and play with it!”
After that, he left without hesitation, a piece of moonstone was not worth his time here.
Seeing Li Changan so decisive, the stall owner hurriedly stopped him. This broken stone had been in his hand for too long, and he finally found a sucker, how could he let him run away?
“”Don’t…don’t go! Then, young man, give me a number?”
Li Changan turned around and sighed, and said,”I’ll take a step back, five hundred.”
The stall owner gritted his teeth and agreed.
After Li Changan paid the money, he threw the stone into the space ring. A moonstone of the lowest quality was worth five hundred thousand.
Although he didn’t know the quality inside, he at least made a profit of five hundred thousand.
Bai Wenshan didn’t ask Li Changan what was in the stone. He just acted as a spectator, only looking but not buying.
On the rest of the journey, Li Changan also bought some things, at least they were all profitable deals.
There are two pets with high potential levels, which makes it convenient to sense them.
At the end, Li Changan came to the stall of a one-eyed old man, who sold meteorite iron.
The reason why he stopped was that Maomao and Yaoyao asked Li Changan to stop at the same time.
“(Boss Wang, how much is this thing for?”
The one-eyed old man squinted his glasses and said,”Five million.”
Li Changan:….
“Boss, give me a sincere price. This thing is too round, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell it’s fake.”
In Li Changan’s hand was a gourd-shaped meteorite, which looked very much like the amulets sold in the scenic area.
The one-eyed old man showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and continued,”I didn’t fake it. It looked like this when it was mined.”
Li Changan”suddenly realized” and said,”It turns out that the business of Zhenhai Tower can also involve things that are born and raised by the heaven and earth.”
The implication was that this thing was made in the factories of the merchants in the Zhenhai Tower scenic area.
The one-eyed old man was speechless. To be honest, he sometimes felt that this thing came from Zhenhai Tower.
It was really that the shape of the gourd was too similar.
Finally, the old man asked,”Boy, what are you buying it for?”
“I like pets and collect them.”
Then he pointed to Yaoyao on his shoulder, and the one-eyed old man gritted his teeth and decided,”Then we’ll go by the market price.”
Li Changan had no objection, took the meteorite gourd, put it on the electronic scale and weighed it.
“Five pounds and three ounces. According to the market price of meteorite iron, 1 gram is 100 Donghuang coins, so I will transfer 265,000 to you.”
After Li Changan transferred the money, the one-eyed old man left with satisfaction.
Bai Wenshan couldn’t help but say,”Old Li, you don’t have a gold pet, why do you buy meteorite iron?”
Li Changan threw the meteorite gourd to Yaoyao on his shoulder, and Yaoyao put it into the space ring
“Of course it’s for Yaoyao’s collection.”
