93: Chapter 93 A Beast Taming Egg with Top-Tier Silver Qualification!

Following Xiao Yun,

Jiang Yun stepped into the largest area of the Myriad Beast Pavilion,

which was also the most disorganized—the Common Area.

Unlike the orderly and glamorous Appraisal and Advanced Areas, this place resembled a massive warehouse.

Countless Beast Eggs of various shapes and sizes were piled haphazardly into giant metal crates.

They were simply labeled with a uniform price tag:

300,000 federal currency.

The air here was thick with the smell of dust.

Even so,

there were quite a few people lingering in the area.

Most were dressed plainly,

their eyes filled with a mix of hope and greed.

Holding specialized magnifying glasses and energy sensors, they carefully observed every egg that might hold a miracle, attempting to scavenge a forgotten Treasure Trove from these screened-out scraps.

Although it was Xiao Yun's first time attending to a guest,

her professional conduct was good, and she remained enthusiastic.

She introduced the area to Jiang Yun:

“Sir, although the appearance of the Beast Eggs here is generally poor, it's not entirely without opportunity. Look at that one with the relatively smooth surface and even color, or that one with a faint energy reaction; generally speaking, the probability of getting good goods is slightly higher.”

She pointed at a few Beast Eggs that indeed looked more pleasing to the eye than their neighbors, giving a kind reminder.

“You can focus on these types. Even if you don't hatch a high-Aptitude battle beast, it's possible to break even or make a small profit.”

Hearing this,

a gentle smile appeared on Jiang Yun's face beneath his mask.

He nodded: “Thanks for the reminder, I'll keep an eye out.”

However,

his reliance was never on experience or probability.

Standing before a giant crate,

Jiang Yun's thoughts shifted slightly.

Deep within his pupils, an imperceptible blue light quietly flickered.

The Manifestation of All Things Entries Innate Talent Skill activated.

His gaze became like a precision scanner,

rapidly sweeping over the Beast Eggs one by one.

In an instant, a massive amount of data entries was revealed.

Nearly ninety-nine percent of it was disappointing content.

【species】: Sharp-Toothed Rat

【Realm】: None

【Aptitude】: Black Iron Low Rank

【Innate Talent Skill】: Gnaw (Common)

【Status】: Low embryo activity

...【species】: Vine Snake

【Realm】: None

【Aptitude】: Black Iron Intermediate

【Innate Talent Skill】: Entwine (Common)

【Status】: Healthy

...【species】: Stone-Shelled Turtle

【Realm】: None

【Aptitude】: Bronze Low Rank

【Innate Talent Skill】: Thick Armor (Rare)

【Status】: Healthy

...【species】: Wind Rabbit

【Realm】: None

【Aptitude】: Black Iron Advanced

【Innate Talent Skill】: Swiftness (Rare)

【Status】: Deceased

...Looking around,

almost all were Beast Eggs with Black Iron or Bronze Aptitude. Occasionally, there were some with slightly better Bronze low, high, or peak rank, but their value was far from enough to pique Jiang Yun's interest.

Not to mention, many were mixed in that, like the Wind Rabbit egg, were dead eggs whose internal embryos had already lost vitality.

Jiang Yun sighed inwardly; no wonder countless people lost their fortunes here. Spending 300,000 to buy a dead egg or a beast destined for low potential—it would be a miracle not to go bankrupt.

He felt increasingly fortunate to possess this Heaven-Defying talent, which allowed him to accurately salvage sunken Treasure Troves from this sea of risk.

He was unhurried, patiently moving between the crates like a seasoned hunter.

Xiao Yun followed quietly behind him without the slightest impatience.

Hard work pays off.

As his gaze swept across the bottom of a dust-covered crate in the corner,

a grey-brown Beast Egg covered in irregular bumps caught his attention. It looked unremarkable, even somewhat ugly.

The data entries instantly surfaced:

【species】: Wood-Armored Earth Dragon (wood attribute)

【Realm】: None

【Aptitude】: silver rank peak

【Innate Talent Skill】: Earth Barrier (Excellent), Earth Spike Assault (Excellent), Dragon's Might Deterrence (Rare)

【Status】: Healthy, energy restrained

silver rank peak!

Wood-Armored Earth Dragon!

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment.

He nodded with great satisfaction.

Fortunately, he had found a decent Beast Egg among these Common ones.

This unassuming Beast Egg,

with its silver rank peak Aptitude,

would absolutely have no problem selling for around five million federal currency!

This first pot of gold was far more substantial than he had expected.

He picked up the Beast Egg from the pile of duds. It felt slightly heavy in his hand, and he could sense the surging vitality contained within, shielded by the thick shell.

“I'll take this one.”

Jiang Yun handed the Beast Egg to Xiao Yun beside him.

Xiao Yun took it with both hands.

Looking at this egg with its truly poor appearance,

a flash of worry crossed her eyes.

But she still nodded obediently: “Alright, sir. Please follow me to the Hatching Area.”

The two left the Common Area

and arrived at the Hatching Area in the central part of the Myriad Beast Pavilion.

The atmosphere here was even more intense and tense than in the selection area.

A dozen workbenches made of an energy-resistant transparent crystal were arranged in a circle, each equipped with professional hatching tools and a focused Hatching Master.

Behind the workbenches were simple Aptitude testing formations, allowing for an integrated process of opening the egg and preliminary appraisal.

Many guests surrounded the various workbenches, staring tensely at the hatching process, occasionally letting out gasps of amazement or sighs of regret.

Furthermore, some sharp-eyed merchants or collectors mingled among them. Once a battle beast with potential was hatched, they would immediately step forward to ask for a price, attempting to snatch it up first.

As luck would have it,

just as Jiang Yun and Xiao Yun arrived,

they ran straight into that snobbish young waiter.

He was bowing and scraping as he led the Elder in Luxurious Clothes toward a vacant workbench.

The young waiter immediately saw the dusty Beast Egg in Xiao Yun's hands, then glanced at the mysteriously dressed Jiang Yun beside her, and a look of undisguised ridicule instantly appeared on his face.

“Oh? You actually managed to scrape a treasure out of the trash heap?”

he said in a sarcastic tone.

Whether it was to boost his own profile

or to make Jiang Yun look like a fool,

he deliberately raised his voice,

attracting the attention of many people around them:

“I say, Xiao Yun, you need to have some vision when leading guests. This kind of thing that looks like a table-leg wedge is worth hatching? I'm afraid you won't even earn back the labor costs for the Hatching Master, right?”

He flaunted a Beast Egg in his hand that emitted a soft white light, had cloud patterns flowing on its surface, and was of Excellent appearance:

“Look, this is what you call a Beast Egg! This is what I carefully selected from the Advanced Area for this distinguished boss. It's brimming with energy and has a perfect appearance! I won't say it's a guaranteed gold rank, but a Silver Rank Aptitude is a sure thing! Even if he doesn't make a profit, he definitely won't lose! Unlike some people, who only think about pies falling from the sky.”

Jiang Yun frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He hadn't had any major conflict with this person.

Was he being repeatedly targeted simply because he was looked down upon for being poor?

This made Jiang Yun feel very displeased.

At the same time,

his gaze swept over the Beast Egg in the waiter's hand.

The data entries became clear in an instant.

【species】: Water Cloud Leopard (water attribute)

【Realm】: None

【Aptitude】: Silver Rank low rank

【Innate Talent Skill】: Swift Shadow (Common), Water-Rending Claw (rare)

【Status】: Healthy

As expected, it was only Silver Rank low rank.

Both its Aptitude and skills were far inferior to his own Wood-Armored Earth Dragon egg.

Jiang Yun sneered inwardly and did not speak to refute him.

Once the battle Beast Eggs hatched,

it would naturally be clear whose egg was better.

Only his gaze beneath the mask

appeared increasingly deep and cold.

Just then,

a workbench in front happened to become vacant.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun wanted to lead Jiang Yun over.

“Wait!”

The young waiter stepped forward in a stride, rudely pushing Xiao Yun aside. She nearly fell, but fortunately, Jiang Yun reached out to steady her.

The young waiter glanced at them with disdain and said arrogantly: “Do you know the rules? For a trash egg like that, stay at the back of the line! Can't you see I'm going to hatch for this big boss first? If you delay the boss's time, can you afford to compensate him?”

He turned back to the Elder in Luxurious Clothes and switched to a fawning expression: “Boss, please don't mind them, it'll be ready in a moment. This one I chose for you is a guaranteed profit, just wait for the good news!”

The Elder in Luxurious Clothes glanced indifferently at Jiang Yun and Xiao Yun. His gaze lingered for a moment on Jiang Yun's mysterious mask, but he said nothing, only nodding slightly.

Seeing this, the young waiter was even more triumphant. He hurriedly handed the Water Cloud Leopard egg to the Hatching Master and said loudly: “Master, sorry to trouble you. Hatch it well! Let those who lack vision see for themselves what a real potential stock looks like!”

The Hatching Master took the Beast Egg expressionlessly.

He began the practiced operation.

The surrounding onlookers were also drawn by the commotion and gathered around, curiously looking at the extraordinary-looking Beast Egg. They all wanted to see what kind of Aptitude the egg the waiter had praised to the skies would produce.

The atmosphere in the area

suddenly became tense and full of anticipation.
