169: Mechanical Beast Tamer
Luo Chen opened two more blind boxes for Beasts, but the results didn't seem as good as he had imagined.
In any case, these two Beasts, in Luo Chen's opinion, basically had no outstanding advantages, so he let the little one collect them as well.
Luo Chen reopened his system panel and looked at his mission bar.
"Mission One: Sell three King-Ranked Beasts (Completed), Reward two hundred points (Claimable), Existing Secret Realm internal space expanded tenfold (Claimable).
Mission Two: Accept commissions from different customers regarding Beast nurturing, rewards will be issued by the system based on customer satisfaction and the rarity of the nurtured Beast (Ongoing, two weeks remaining).
Mission Three: Evolve three different King-Ranked Beasts (Completed), Reward five hundred points (Claimable), One Tier 3 Secret Realm (Claimable).
Mission Four: Daily Mission activated, achieve a daily turnover of one million spirit coins, Reward one hundred points (Repeatable daily)."
Luo Chen looked at the screen in front of him and decided to claim all available rewards at once.
As the operation was completed, his point balance instantly soared from eight hundred to one thousand five hundred.
As for the effect of the Secret Realm's expansion, he would only be able to check it later, after returning.
He excitedly looked around, anticipating the appearance of a new Secret Realm entrance, but the result greatly disappointed him.
"System, come out! Where did you put my Secret Realm?" Luo Chen asked urgently.
The system replied matter-of-factly, "Qingyang City, Chenyang Pet Store, third floor."
Luo Chen's eyes widened, and he said helplessly, "Why did you put the Secret Realm there? I'm in the capital right now!"
However, the system was unmoved, insisting, "According to regulations, the Secret Realm entrance can only be inside the store."
Facing this cold system with no room for negotiation, Luo Chen clenched his fists in anger.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Fine, you win."
...
The daylight faded and returned; Luo Chen's first day in the capital city passed just like that.
Early on the second day, Li Wenhao excitedly knocked on Luo Chen's door.
Opening the door, Li Wenhao patted Luo Chen's shoulder and then said, as if taking credit:
"I didn't fail you; I've already found a location for your store. You can open for business today."
"Ah," Luo Chen's eyes showed a hint of clear foolishness, "but the business license, operating permits, and such haven't been sorted out yet?"
Li Wenhao looked at Luo Chen with an expression that said he was underestimating him, "You have too little faith in your Senior Brother's abilities, don't you? Of course, all of that was taken care of together."
Awesome, he didn't even have to go himself; his cheap Senior Brother had already sorted everything out for him.
Luo Chen gave a thumbs-up and said admiringly, "Senior Brother, you're amazing."
Li Wenhao laughed twice, then summoned a large 'iron lump'.
Of course, 'iron lump' was Li Wenhao's own description; in Luo Chen's eyes, this was clearly the popular Mechanical Armor from his previous life.
A tall figure, seventy to eighty meters high, with a metallic luster on its shell and humanoid limbs made of mechanical parts.
"Cool."

Evolution Path: Unable to view."
Mechanical System, this was the first time Luo Chen had seen a Beast of this Type.
Speaking of which, such mechs could also be contracted and nurtured. So, during their Evolution, was it technological advancement? Human modification?
Was this too sci-fi?
However, the cool appearance of this mech and its classic red and blue color scheme still made Luo Chen quite fond of it.
"Switch to aircraft form," Li Wenhao shouted at the Mechanical Armor.
The Mechanical Armor's massive head slowly nodded, then its legs pushed off, leaping into mid-air, and the mechanical parts on various parts of its body shifted.
Then, a highly futuristic aircraft appeared before Li Wenhao and Luo Chen.
It was very different from airplanes in his previous life; it was also streamlined, but its surface had many more angles, and its structure looked more complex.
From the Mechanical Armor in aircraft form, two beams of light enveloped Luo Chen and Li Wenhao.
Luo Chen only felt a shift in space, and when he looked again, the surroundings were already a new world.
Beneath his feet was a solid metal floor, and around and above him was the scenery of the outside world, but Luo Chen still noticed that the surroundings and overhead were projections on screens.
In other words, the current environment he saw was all through large screens, so they should now be inside the Mechanical Armor's body.
"The Mechanical Armor is now taking us to the store, which will take about half an hour. Hmm, is there anything you'd like to drink?"
"Uh, just a cup of happy water," Luo Chen replied.
"Happy water?" Li Wenhao was puzzled.
"Cola, no, it's just Bubble water," Luo Chen clarified.
"Oh. This, why do you call it happy water?"
Li Wenhao pulled out a bottle of water from somewhere, handed it to Luo Chen, and asked curiously.
"Because when you drink Bubble water, you'll feel a pure joy."
"Really?" Li Wenhao saw Luo Chen indeed let out a comfortable sigh after drinking the Bubble water.
He also opened a bottle of Bubble water with some skepticism and tried it. His tightly furrowed brows indicated that it didn't seem to bring him much joy.
Luo Chen comfortably sat on the sofa, looking at the very livable decoration around him, and couldn't help but sigh, his Third Senior Brother really knew how to live.
Look, the dining table, sofa, and even a bed were all there, emphasizing relaxation and enjoyment anytime, anywhere.
Luo Chen walked to the edge and looked down.
As expected of the capital city, there were even dedicated flight paths for aircraft.
Among them, Luo Chen also saw various other aircraft, but compared to the Mechanical Armor, they were all much smaller.
"Third Senior Brother, are there many Mechanical System Beasts like this in the capital?"
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Li Wenhao casually glanced outside and then replied,
"Not that many, actually. These aircraft aren't Beasts; they're just products simulated and imitated by technology.
Compared to real Beasts, their flexibility and intelligence are very poor, and the attacks they release aren't strong. Most importantly, they are expensive to build and cannot evolve on their own."
Li Wenhao was clearly very knowledgeable about these things, explaining many shortcomings of such aircraft in just a few sentences.
"Senior Brother seems to know a lot about Mechanical System Beasts. Can you tell me more?"
"Of course, what do you want to know?" Li Wenhao replied readily.
"Anything, like its origin, overall strength, and methods of Evolution."
"You've come to the right person to ask about these things. I dare say no one in the entire capital, or even Huaguo, understands Mechanical System Beasts better than I do."
Luo Chen looked at Li Wenhao, who had suddenly become confident and flamboyant in that instant, and was slightly surprised.
