“You guys should get a good beast first.” This single phrase from Yi Nan caused everyone to rush to the beast store.
Ye Kong did not have a beast, and the Li brothers’ beasts were absolute trash. If they could not get a good beast, not to mention chain quests, even the Blackstone Labyrinth’s Heart of Oak Tree’s trial would be biting off more than they could chew. Originally, Yue Yang only hired them to search for Yue Bing. Since the mission was already accomplished, if it was another person that hired them, they would probably paid the commission and then bid their farewells and go on their separate ways. However, Yue Yang felt that although Ye Kong and the others were not of a big help when it came to battles, but with regards to survival experience within Tong Tian Tower, they completely outclassed Yue Bing and Yi Nan. With their participation, doing chain quests would go a lot smoother.
Therefore, Yue Yang decided to keep Ye Kong and the others.
In any case, Ye Kong was still a genius that was past his prime. If not for him losing his beast, how could he have become so miserable?
The Li brothers’ beasts’ levels were low, and there was a limit to the strength provided after the strengthening fusion with their beasts. However, the Li brothers’ own battle techniques were not bad, and they were also resilient. They could be compared to Hui Tai Lang with their vitality of a cockroach. Although they could not hold the frontline on their own, they could still pass for doing labour work.
Instead, with regards to Fatty Hai who had a summoning grimoire, Yue Yang’s opinion of him was the worst. This guy had completely no experience, and was completely an inconvenience to him.
The only advantage that he had was that he could be made a human shield.
If Yue Yang needed a person to take the blows for him and be a human shield, Fatty Hai was undoubtedly the best meat shield available.
After collecting the hundred gold coins as a reward for the expedition in the abyss, Yue Yang, along with Yue Bing, Yi Nan, Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the others, went to the Hundred Roaring Beasts Shop.
As they entered the shop, the Bronze-ranked Level 5 Hui Tai Lang caused all the adult beasts in the store to be frightened until they lay down on the ground, silent and subdued…
Only now had Yue Yang realised how extreme an achievement it was to get a Bronze-ranked Level 5 beast for a normal warrior.
“We’ll come out with five hundred gold as down payment. If you accept, you and your friends will be lifetime VIPs of our store, having a 20% discount on all purchases; we’ll also send you a Bronze-ranked Level 4 graded Beast Egg as a gift, to make up for your loss. Each of your friends can pick a beast for free, and as long as our people can succeed in contracting with this Two-headed Demon Wolf, we will immediately pay you another five hundred gold.” The white fatty manager of the shop desperately tried to convince Yue Yang to sell Hui Tai Lang to them. The store’s employees were shrewd and ruthless. Seeing that Hui Tai Lang was a beast of the best quality that rated five stars or above, they kept clinging onto Yue Yang. In their attempt to buy Hui Tai Lang, they were willing to do so much that it could be said they wouldn’t even care if they died in the process.
“Manager, your way of thinking is too naive. Did you really think that you could get a psychic Two-headed Demon Wolf with merely a thousand gold?” Yi Nan sneered.
“It would be a pleasure to negotiate with you with regards to the price. We can sit down and discuss this slowly.” The manager accompanied his words with a smile.
“We’re not selling, no matter how much you offer us.” Yue Bing refused flatly.
“You have to be clear that we’re here to buy beasts, not to sell them. If you don’t want to do business, then we can just go to another beast store.” Although Yue Yang did not contract with Hui Tai Lang, it had accompanied him for a long time. He felt that having this gluttonous yet clever little dog by his side would make his life a little more interesting.
Without a punching bag to appease his anger, what would he ever do in the future?
Besides, this was a beast that he had cultivated with his own hands, so how would it be possible for him to sell it to other people? Yue Yang would never openly say it, but he would never sell Hui Tai Lang.
Since the manager could not do anything about it, he could only urge over and over again. If Yue Yang wanted to sell Hui Tai Lang at any point of time, he could find the manager at any time. He insisted that it wouldn’t bother him even if he was preparing to lie down with a woman in the middle of the night.
Within the Hundred Roaring Beasts Shop, all the beasts available were Ordinary-ranked Level 3 or below. There were only a mere handful of Level 4 beasts, not to mention good beasts that were Bronze-ranked.
After looking at the beasts for a long time, Yi Nan and Yue Bing did not take a fancy to any of them.
Within Ye Kong and the
