Chapter 95

Fang Chengyan could not accept this fact; he had never thought that the two young girls' choice of pet eggs would actually hit the mark entirely!

If this was good luck, then it was too good!

Why don't I have such good luck?

Fang Chengyan felt a great blow to his heart. He had been betting on pet eggs for so many years and had never had two consecutive hits. He knew better than anyone how low the probability of this was.

Just a moment ago, the dozen pet eggs he had bought were also appraised, and the result was that they were all dead eggs, no different from buying a few broken stones.

Comparing people really makes one angry!

How could those two young girls hit the mark entirely?

"Coincidence, this must be a coincidence!"

Fang Chengyan tried to find an excuse to make himself feel better, but this excuse did not convince him at all.

"Damn! Could it be... there really is an expert in 'betting on pet eggs'?"

Thinking of the confident look on that young girl's face, Fang Chengyan fell silent. Suddenly, a phrase that the young girl had said flashed through his mind.

"77, 3789, 6701," he repeated to himself, "These are three numbers. The two young girls only bought two pet eggs, so what about the remaining number?"

His body suddenly trembled. After a moment of shock, Fang Chengyan rushed out of the door like a madman, heading towards the egg-drawing area.

To find out if it was a coincidence, he just needed to buy the remaining "6701" and have it appraised.

Fang Chengyan was not a man short of money, as could be seen from the storage ring on his finger.

He was just passionate about "betting on pet eggs," especially enjoying the joy of hitting the mark.

To improve his success rate in betting on pet eggs, he could stay up all night researching, and to find the tricks, he could read through countless books.

Saying he was obsessed with betting on pet eggs was not an exaggeration!

......

"Second Sister, I have a question I want to ask."

Dongfang Xiuzhe, following behind Dongfang Jinxuan, suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Little Five has a lot of questions today!" She smiled and slowed her pace, "Go ahead, what do you want to know?"

"Second Sister, why don't you wear a storage ring? Wouldn't that be more convenient? I saw Ren Tianxing wearing one."

Dongfang Xiuzhe stared at Dongfang Jinxuan's fingers, asking the question that had been on his mind.

Since he had experienced the storage function of the storage ring, he had fallen deeply in love with it. He now had two storage rings, which he kept close to his body.

He was very curious; his sister was a mercenary, and wouldn't it be more practical for her to wear a storage ring when traveling?

"A storage ring is something that your Second Sister cannot afford with her current financial means."

Dongfang Jinxuan said with a bitter smile.

In fact, she had always wanted to own a storage ring, but it was so expensive that she could not afford it for the time being.

Speaking of which, Dongfang Jinxuan had always been curious about Ren Tianxing. She couldn't understand how someone who could afford a storage ring would be willing to do servant work.

"Can't afford it?" Dongfang Xiuzhe raised his head and saw the somewhat self-mocking expression on his Second Sister's face, becoming even more curious. "Is a storage ring very expensive?"

"The cheapest storage ring costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins. If it's a bit better, it can cost millions of gold coins. If it's a famous alchemist's creation, it can cost tens of millions of gold coins!"

Dongfang Jinxuan sighed as she spoke. She was only a "Yellow Rank Two Star初级" mercenary, and the rewards from her missions were not enough to save up for a storage ring for who knows how long.

Earning money is hard, but saving money is even harder!

"Is millions of gold coins very expensive?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe pondered in his heart, his expression somewhat blank.

He didn't have much concept of money in this world, only knowing that one gold coin could be exchanged for 100 silver coins, and one silver coin for 100 copper coins.

He had hardly ever used money to buy things.

Although he had nearly three million gold coins in his storage ring, they were all taken by force, and since he had never earned money, he could not understand the difficulty of earning money like Dongfang Jinxuan.

"Ah, Little Five, look, that's a three-star幻兽—Treading Flame Thousand Mile Horse!"

Dongfang Jinxuan exclaimed and rushed to a cage, marveling at the sight.

The Treading Flame Thousand Mile Horse had a body covered in snow-white fur, smooth and without a single blemish, with only the forehead and four hooves being a bright red. It looked noble and sacred overall!

Women have little resistance to beautiful things.

Dongfang Jinxuan waved at the "Treading Flame Thousand Mile Horse" repeatedly, trying to touch its smooth fur, finding it endlessly fascinating.

However, Dongfang Xiuzhe was not very interested, glancing at it and then shifting his gaze elsewhere.

"Little Five, do you know that when the Treading Flame Thousand Mile Horse runs at full speed, its four hooves seem to be treading on flames, and it is said they can travel a thousand miles in a day!"

Dongfang Jinxuan said without turning her head.

Glancing at the price tag, 170,000 gold coins, it was indeed not cheap. If it were a bit cheaper, Dongfang Jinxuan might have gritted her teeth and bought one.

Although the Treading Flame Thousand Mile Horse was beautiful and noble, it was not Dongfang Jinxuan's ideal pet.

As a mercenary, she often entered dangerous places. If she brought the Treading Flame Thousand Mile Horse, it would not only provide little help but also make her more likely to be exposed.

Shaking her head, Dongfang Jinxuan sighed, "This kind of pet is probably only bought by rich merchants and nobles."

......

At the entrance of "Si Fang Pavilion," a luxurious carriage arrived, immediately making all the surrounding carriages seem dull in comparison.

Six pure Treading Flame Thousand Mile Horses pulled the carriage, and the driver was neatly dressed with a refined demeanor. The whip in his hand, shimmering with a golden glow, was made of gold thread.

The carriage stopped, and a man descended, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, tall and handsome, with a sky-blue ring on his finger that glowed softly in the sunlight.

It was clear that this man was no ordinary person.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge would have heard of his name—Qi Shaoshang, the most promising young master of the beast taming family.

Just as he entered "Si Fang Pavilion," the hall manager, who had heard the news, greeted him with a smile, "It's you, Young Master Qi, my apologies!"

"Manager Gao, there's no need to be so formal. I'm just here to browse around," Qi Shaoshang said politely.

He had no special purpose for coming here.

Originally, he was heading to the capital, but passing through Jali City, he remembered that he had not yet prepared a birthday gift for the Seventh Princess. If the Seventh Princess started to fuss, he would really be at a loss.

So, he decided to stop by the pet store here to see if there were any suitable pets.

As someone from a beast taming family, Qi Shaoshang naturally knew a lot about pets. He already had a general idea in his mind, and this visit was just to see if he could get lucky.

Why did he say "get lucky"?

Because the pet he wanted to give to the Seventh Princess had to be one in ten thousand.

Out of ten thousand pets, there might be one with the potential to evolve.

A pet with the potential to evolve is not necessarily a high-level pet.

The characteristic of such pets is that they have high intelligence, and when certain conditions are met, they can break through their own limitations and evolve into a higher level, becoming a new type of pet!

A pet with the potential to evolve is rare and hard to come by, and whether one can find it is entirely a matter of luck!

Qi Shaoshang was not in a hurry to find one today. Since there was still some time before the Seventh Princess's birthday, he could slowly search in the three major "pet stores." Today, he was just browsing at "Si Fang Pavilion."

Accompanied by the hall manager, Qi Shaoshang walked aimlessly, his gaze constantly scanning the pets in the cages on both sides.

As he was walking, he saw a man with messy hair and a beard, holding a pet egg, rushing over in a hurry.

Seeing this man, the hall manager did not react much, but Qi Shaoshang was clearly taken aback.

"Mr. Fang?" Qi Shaoshang called out tentatively.

The bearded man paused, glanced at Qi Shaoshang, and said, "I'm in a hurry!"

Then he ran down to the main hall.

The bearded man was none other than Fang Chengyan, who had just bought the 6701 pet egg and was now eager to have it appraised.

"This Mr. Fang is indeed as strange as the rumors say!" Qi Shaoshang muttered to himself.

"Young Master Qi, who was that man just now?" the hall manager asked curiously.

"Fang Chengyan, one of the 'Mystic Rank Alchemists' in the Iron Qin Empire!" Qi Shaoshang's calm words shocked the hall manager.

......

Fang Chengyan held the appraisal certificate in his hands, completely stunned.

The appraisal result showed that the 6701 pet egg he had just bought could hatch.

"Really hit the mark?"

At this moment, Fang Chengyan was not joyful but shocked. He had never thought that there were really experts in "betting on pet eggs" who could hit all three numbers!

"Heaven, how did he do it?"

Fang Chengyan was almost driven mad with excitement. If two consecutive hits could be attributed to luck, then hitting all three numbers could only mean one thing: the younger brother of that young girl was definitely a true expert!

"An expert, this is a true expert in 'betting on pet eggs.' I must find him and learn from him."

Thinking this, Fang Chengyan realized that he did not even know the name or address of this expert.

He only knew that it was the younger brother of that young girl!

"Damn, how could I be so stupid? I didn't even keep those two young girls. Now, where can I find them in this vast sea of people?"

Fang Chengyan, filled with regret, slammed his fist on the table. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind about the clothing of the two young girls.

"Right, how smart I am! The clothes those two young girls wore must be a school uniform. If I find out which school they attend, I won't have to worry about finding them. I am so smart!"

Fang Chengyan suddenly burst into laughter.
