Zhang Lingyun had thought that by sarcastically mocking Qin Shaofeng, he would at least provoke some anger from the other party.
But he was wrong.
"Fang Manager, I didn't come here today for any other reason; I just wanted to take a look at some low-level beast monsters. If possible, I might take a few back to play with!"
Ignored!
Thoroughly ignored!
Qin Shaofeng acted as if he hadn't heard Zhang Lingyun at all, smiling and chatting with Fang Manager.
"Qin Shaofeng, you..."
Qin Shaofeng's attitude once again enraged Zhang Lingyun. His face turned red with anger, and he almost couldn't resist charging at Qin Shaofeng.
But when he saw Fang Manager, he immediately remembered where he was—a place even his father wouldn't dare to offend!
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Zhang Lingyun quickly suppressed his anger.
However, his gaze towards Qin Shaofeng became even more furious.
Qin Shaofeng, on the other hand, continued to act as if Zhang Lingyun didn't exist, smiling at Fang Manager.
This young master of the Qin family didn't seem as desperate as the rumors suggested, with his cultivation ruined and his dantian shattered!
Qin Shaofeng's performance earned a silent admiration from Fang Manager, who then smiled and said, "Oh, I see. That's quite convenient. We've just received a batch of decent low-level beast monsters recently. I'll take Young Master Qin to have a look."
However, Fang Manager clearly didn't forget about Zhang Lingyun. Although he looked down on Zhang Lingyun, he still maintained a businesslike attitude and smiled at him.
"If Young Master Zhang is interested, why don't you come along as well?"
Zhang Lingyun glared at Qin Shaofeng angrily, then thought for a moment and nodded to Fang Manager, "Alright, I'll trouble you, Manager Fang!"
Following Fang Manager, Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun arrived at the back courtyard of the beast fighting arena.
Actually, the back courtyard of the beast fighting arena was usually off-limits to the general public, as it wasn't where the beasts fought but where the low-level beast monsters were kept. Only staff members were allowed to enter.
However, given the status of Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun, Fang Manager didn't mind these rules.
As Fang Manager had said, the beast fighting arena had indeed received a new batch of low-level beast monsters.
The beast monsters in the cages in the back courtyard exuded a wild aura, clearly new and untrained low-level beast monsters that had never been in the arena.
However, these didn't meet Qin Shaofeng's requirements.
Under normal circumstances, low-level beast monsters suitable for the arena had combat capabilities far superior to the chickens and ducks in the Qin household.
Although the giant turkey and the domesticated wild boar were classified as low-level beast monsters by the system,
Qin Shaofeng knew that any one of these low-level beast monsters here could slaughter all the chickens and ducks in the Qin household.
Therefore, the price of these low-level beast monsters was definitely not low.
Sigh, this is a problem. I don't have much gold, and I can't buy many of them.
Qin Shaofeng was in a dilemma. He only had a little over a thousand gold notes, enough to buy only two or three low-level beast monsters at most.
In this world, wealth was measured in gold and silver.
One tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver, and over a thousand taels of gold in gold notes was not a small amount.
After all, an average household's monthly expenses were only about ten taels of silver.
"Which beast monsters have the two young masters set their eyes on? I can offer a discount!"
At this moment, Fang Manager spoke up.
Although he mentioned a discount, the look in his eyes when he saw Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun was like he was looking at two fat lambs.
He could tell there was a conflict between Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun, and the more conflict there was, the better for him.
After all, conflict meant competition!
And competition meant big profits for him!
Unfortunately, if Fang Manager knew that Qin Shaofeng only had a little over a thousand gold notes, he might not have had such thoughts.
Seeing Fang Manager's enthusiasm, Qin Shaofeng gave a strange smile and hesitated, "Well, actually, I..."
But before Qin Shaofeng could say more, Zhang Lingyun immediately interrupted with a cold laugh, "Our Young Master Qin won't disappoint you, Manager Fang. Given Young Master Qin's current preferences, I'm sure you'll make a good profit!"
