91: Chapter 91 Gambling on Beast Eggs?!

Leaving the Misty Forest.

Jiang Yun went straight to the C City Beast Tamer Guild.

Familiar buildings, bustling crowds, but his mindset now was completely different from when he first arrived.

He didn't stop before the dazzling array of goods and went directly to find Liu Mei, the manager he was familiar with.

"Mr. Jiang, you are a rare guest!"

Liu Mei saw Jiang Yun.

A professional and enthusiastic smile immediately appeared on her face, but a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed deep in her eyes.

Today's Jiang Yun had a restrained aura, yet he possessed a convincing and steady temperament.

She had also heard about the events at the competition.

Jiang Yun was now a big celebrity in C City.

She didn't dare to treat him as casually as before.

Her form of address had also changed from "Little Brother" to "Mr. Jiang."

"Sorry to disturb you."

Jiang Yun got straight to the point without any small talk.

"I'd like to ask, is there any way to obtain a large amount of Beast Taming resources in C City? Ideally, Attribute Spirit Crystals, or a large quantity of Water, Fire, and Thunder attribute Spirit Stones."

"Attribute Spirit Crystals?"

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Liu Mei's face:

"Mr. Jiang, you've really stumped me. Spirit Crystals are a scarce resource in a remote place like our C City. What circulates on the market is mainly federal currency and ordinary Spirit Stones. Only top families like the Su Family and Xiao Family, or perhaps our guild headquarters, might have large reserves. Some big shots might also have stock, but basically, no one would put them up for sale; they are vital resources for nurturing powerful beasts."

Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly. Although he had expected this, he was still a bit disappointed to hear the definitive answer.

It seemed unrealistic to rely on conventional means to obtain a large amount of Spirit Crystals in C City.

"Then what about attribute Spirit Stones? Water, Fire, and Thunder—how can I get those in large quantities?"

Jiang Yun settled for the next best thing.

He asked again.

"I wonder how many Mr. Jiang needs?"

Liu Mei asked cautiously.

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, estimating the terrifying consumption rate of his two beasts, and tentatively gave a number: "For each... let's prepare one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones first."

"One... one million?! For each?!"

The smile on Liu Mei's face froze instantly.

Her voice rose several pitches.

It was full of disbelief.

"Mr. Jiang, you're not joking, are you? One million specific attribute Spirit Stones! Even if we emptied the inventory of all the businesses under our guild, we might not be able to gather that many! If it were mixed attribute Spirit Stones, we might be able to scrap something together."

She really couldn't understand and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Forgive my boldness, Mr. Jiang, but what do you need such a massive amount of attribute Spirit Stones for? Even for a wholesaler, this volume is too large. It's almost as much as what those families require from our guild over several years! And... your beast, I recall it's still at the Bronze Rank. Even if it's exceptionally gifted, a million Spirit Stones should last it five or six years, right?"

She subconsciously assumed Jiang Yun's beast was still at the Bronze Rank.

After all, not much time had passed since the competition ended.

There was no way she could have imagined that Jiang Yun's beast had already jumped to Silver Rank.

Even if she knew Jiang Yun's beast had reached the Silver Rank.

She wouldn't think a Silver Rank beast's appetite would be as large as a bottomless pit.

Jiang Yun frowned slightly. He didn't explain that the beast had already evolved, but simply followed up: "Then how much can the guild mobilize currently?"

Liu Mei composed herself.

She did a quick mental calculation and replied:

"To be honest, our guild's current inventory of Water and fire attribute Spirit Stones combined is about 400,000. Thunder attribute is even rarer, with only about 140,000."

540,000 attribute Spirit Stones... Jiang Yun calculated in his heart. Although far from his goal, it was enough to support the two beasts' digestion for a while and alleviate the immediate need.

"Fine, I'll take them all."

Jiang Yun decided on the spot.

"All... all of them?!"

Liu Mei was shocked once again, her voice trembling slightly.

Buying such a massive amount of attribute Spirit Stones at once—this level of spending was comparable to the annual procurement of those big families!

She couldn't help but confirm again: "Mr. Jiang, this is not a small sum. According to market prices, ordinary Water and fire attribute Low-Grade Spirit Stones are 1,000 federal currency each, and Thunder attribute is 3,000 each. These 540,000 Spirit Stones in total will cost... eight hundred and twenty million federal currency!"

Eight hundred and twenty million!

This astronomical figure stunned even Jiang Yun.

He thought about the few hundred thousand federal currency remaining in his federation card and suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment.

He had been so focused on the resources that he forgot the most crucial problem.

Money!

Seeing Jiang Yun's reaction.

How shrewd Liu Mei was.

She immediately guessed that the other party might have insufficient funds. A flash of awkwardness crossed her face, but her good professional ethics prevented her from showing any contempt. Instead, she took the initiative to offer suggestions:

"If Mr. Jiang is temporarily short on funds and wants to earn federal currency quickly, you could consider these options. Either sell the rare Materials or high-grade treasures you have—our guild has an Auction House with a daily turnover of over 100 million, which is a good choice. Or you could... gamble on Beast Eggs."

"Try your luck."

"Gamble on Beast Eggs?"

Jiang Yun looked puzzled.

This was the first time he had heard this term.

Seeing that Jiang Yun seemed interested.

Liu Mei immediately began to explain in detail:

"Yes, gambling on Beast Eggs. Our guild, and even some black markets, acquire or capture large numbers of unknown Vicious Beast eggs or Beast Eggs. These eggs have special shells that can block most perceptions, making it difficult to accurately judge the type of beast gestating inside, its Aptitude Rank, or even if it has special skills or hidden Bloodlines."

"Therefore, these eggs are sold at uniform or categorized prices, and buyers rely entirely on their eyesight and luck. You might spend hundreds of thousands to buy an egg only for it to hatch into the most Common Black Iron Rank beast, losing everything. But it's also possible to hatch a beast with bronze rank peak Aptitude, or one with Rare skills or special Bloodlines. In that case, its value would immediately multiply several times, and it wouldn't be surprising to sell it for millions of federal currency."

"If you have Heaven-Defying luck and open an egg with Silver Rank potential, its value starts at five million at least! Gold Rank is in the tens of millions! As for Amethyst Rank... that's top-tier Aptitude in C City! Once it appears, it's enough to fetch an astronomical price of over 100 million at an auction! In short, the better the Aptitude and quality, the higher the value. There are many who become rich overnight. Of course, those who lose everything... are even more numerous."

Liu Mei's words carried a hint of temptation.

But also a clear warning.

This gambling on Beast Eggs was undoubtedly a shortcut to acquiring great wealth quickly, but it was also a dangerous path leading to the abyss.

After listening, a strange light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.

The Manifestation of All Things Entries talent could see through the essence of everything.

It was practically a divine identification skill.

With just one look, he could know the beast's Aptitude inside the egg.

If he gambled on Beast Eggs.

He would absolutely make a profit without any loss!

This was a great way to make money!
