78: The price of the second beast choice has increased!

It was Lin Qinghuan calling.

"Hello, Senior Lin!"

This was the first time Senior Lin had taken the initiative to contact him since he came to the Imperial Capital.

Was she finally planning to let him latch onto her coattails?

"Fang Ran, I found a few Beast pet companies and shops for you. Do you have time to go take a look?"

"They will waive 80% of the Beast pet fees for you," Lin Qinghuan said directly.

The rankings of the Five Great Academies were followed by many people.

Therefore, many Beast pet companies took the initiative to approach them.

Because the second Beast had competitions as well, and these were competitions between different major academies, the rewards obtained were far greater than ordinary rankings!

But the competition was just as fierce, with the minimum being Beasts rated as A level.

This represented the upper limit of the pet Beast and, more importantly, its noble bloodline.

"I have time, but I don't have that much money on me right now," Fang Ran said.

"You can owe it first, and then go to a hunting Beast factory, or take on tasks from the Beastmaster Association, or even work part-time. You've already reached the Lord-level, so you can be registered with a company."

The two talked for a long time.

The next day arrived.

At the school gate.

Lin Qinghuan wore a white shirt and straight black clothes. Her simple attire highlighted her figure's advantages, and her every movement was eye-catching.

Around her, many newly admitted Beast Tamer were secretly looking.

"It's Senior Lin Qinghuan, the top student of the third year at Imperial Capital University!"

"Damn, I came to the Imperial Capital just to pursue Senior Lin! I finally saw her in person!"

"Pursue Senior Lin? Senior Lin is about to be promoted to the Extraordinary Grade and take office in the border city. What kind of clown are you?"

"Extraordinary Grade? That fast? I remember she's only in her early twenties?"

"Extraordinary is Extraordinary, fine. I'd rather be stepped on and humiliated by her."

In an instant, everyone looked at that person with disgust.

How could he have such little ambition? Couldn't he just advance to Extraordinary and catch up with Senior Lin's pace?

Soon, everyone noticed that she seemed to be waiting for someone.

When she saw Fang Ran, Lin Qinghuan smiled slightly, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"It's Fang Ran! He defeated Bai Ling Shuang yesterday. Now Goddess Bai is still training at the Heaven-Man Training Hall!"

"And Tie Jiuxin, I heard he was taken back by his family for devilish special training."

"Why aren't they competing for first place in the monthly exam anymore? Were they hit that hard?"

Originally, everyone was a bit jealous of the person Lin Qinghuan was waiting for.

But after seeing Fang Ran.

They immediately felt it was reasonable again.

Getting into Lin Qinghuan's car, Fang Ran and she quickly arrived at the first shop.

Shops that cultivate pet Beasts were very luxurious, with people coming and going like in a supermarket.

"How much is this Sun Leopard? It's only a C-Rank Beast, selling for 20 million? Why don't you just rob someone!"

"Are there any A level ones? Have they been booked already?"

"They're all booked up for a year or more! By the time it's our turn, the flowers will have withered!"

"Your Beasts are so violent, can they be a bit cheaper?"

"Are there any humanoid ones? A lower level is fine too. I'm asking for a friend."

There were also many Beast Tamer in the hall, looking at the tablet in the receptionist's hand.

Beast Tamer who could reach the Lord-level were given special attention.

A few were people who had just become Lord Beast Masters, but more were ordinary people who wanted to contract Beasts and become Beast Tamer.

As geniuses of the Imperial Capital Academy and having secured the top three rankings among new students, Fang Ran and Lin Qinghuan were directly taken to the A level Beast area.

Facing everyone's dissatisfaction, just the words "Imperial Capital Academy" were enough to shut them up.

"These are all A level Beasts, newly arrived!" the receptionist girl said with a flustered expression.

Being able to interact with such geniuses made her a bit nervous.

At this moment.

Through the screen, Fang Ran could see the information of several pet Beasts.

And their recorded images.

[Werewolf Golem]

[Level: Ordinary Early Stage]

...

[Golden Monkey Strength Demon]

[Level: Ordinary Early Stage]

...

[Yaksa Raccoon Beast]

[Level: Ordinary Early Stage]

...

"They're all A-Class, but they're all violent creatures that are difficult to tame. Are there no S-Grade ones?" Lin Qinghuan asked.

It was clear at a glance that these were the ones left over; the well-behaved and obedient ones had long been taken away.

"Sorry, there are none."

Ignoring the receptionist, Fang Ran summoned Xiao Tian under the astonished gaze of the attendant.

To contract a Beast, it was natural to handle the relationship well. So, it was better to ask Xiao Tian from the start; he believed she was quite reasonable.

"What do you think?"

Xiao Tian was puzzled. When she heard Fang Ran wanted to contract a second Beast, her heart immediately sank.

Her gaze swept across the screen, and then she shook her head.

Then she pointed to the Golden Monkey Strength Demon, which looked very stupid.

"How much?" Fang Ran asked.

The receptionist looked at Xiao Tian and only now came back to her senses, quickly saying, "79 million. We can include a month's C-Rank food recipe."

7... 79 million?

Fang Ran looked at Lin Qinghuan beside him.

But he saw her usually aloof cheek twitch.

"Let's go, we'll check out the next place."

Seeing the few people leave.

The receptionist sighed.

Standing next to Xiao Tian put immense pressure on her; she didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

Being able to contract an Angel with such strong divinity, she naturally wouldn't look down on lower-level A level Beasts. However, the higher-level ones had been bought two or three days ago.

To participate in the upcoming Imperial Capital Second Beast competition, many families prepared in advance. Normally, there would still be some in stock.

They visited several other expensive pet Beast shops, and the result was the same.

There were only flawed A-Class pet Beasts, and they all cost tens of millions!

Xiao Tian was no exception; she chose only the utterly stupid-looking ones.

Even if Fang Ran was stupid, he could tell she was doing it on purpose.

"It's a bit too expensive. If I have to repay the debt, I don't know when I'll finish!"

Contracting a Beast hadn't even happened yet, but he'd already incurred debt. Was that okay?

Moreover, Lin Qinghuan likely couldn't afford tens of millions either; he could tell from her expression.

She probably didn't expect the prices of pet Beasts to rise so quickly in the past few days.

"You guys go back first, I'll look around by myself," Fang Ran said, sending Lin Qinghuan away.

Lin Qinghuan suddenly felt a bit unreliable, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Okay, when I reach the Extraordinary Grade, I'll help you find a suitable one."

...

At this moment.

In a chaotic market in the Imperial Capital.

A Slime, curled up into a ball, was confined in a narrow glass cage, squashed into a cube.

At this moment, it was expanding and contracting, feeling like it wanted to cry but couldn't.

If it had known earlier, it would have listened to its clan brother and not come to the Imperial Capital.

As soon as it ran over, it was caught and taken to the black market.

It didn't know what it was hoping for. That person was a favored son of humanity. Even those higher beings would yearn to be contracted by a genius, right?

A figure came to the stall, and his eyes immediately lit up, saying:

"Boss, your goods aren't good lately. You're even selling poop now."

"If you're not buying, get lost! My prices never go up. I accidentally caught this little thing. If you buy one, I'll give it to you for free!"

The stubble-faced Beast Tamer snorted coldly.

"Why are you repaying kindness with enmity?"

A small thing that couldn't evolve, what good was it for him to buy it?

Even feeding it to his Beasts would clog their teeth!
