56: Explosion, controversy

“National Elder Zhuang Sheng, the founder of Huaguo People's Beast Master University, a Five-Sun Breeder, a Star Rank Beast Master, and the Lifetime Honorary President of the Breeder Association.

He was also a Breeder from a common background, who has always guarded many secret realms for the country, and many of the top Star Beasts in Huaguo were cultivated by him.

A true pillar of the nation.”

Luo Yuheng's words were filled with deep excitement and yearning.

Luo Chen secretly clicked his tongue at the long list of titles; it certainly sounded impressive.

After a pause, Luo Yuheng continued:

“This Breeder assessment was jointly formulated by severalBig Boss, and jointly executed by their Star Beasts.

The Dream Butterfly weaves the Illusion World, the Heavenly Fortune Wheel performs divination, the White Jade Spider connects numerous cities, and the Xirang Foundation Stone acts as the base, jointly constructing this assessment world.

It can simulate the real world to the greatest extent, so there’s no need to worry about any errors.”

Beast Rank: Fierce Beast, Spirit Beast, King Beast, Desolate Beast, Star Beast…

Luo Chen swallowed, “Are they all Star Beasts?”

Luo Yuheng shook his head regretfully, “The Dream Butterfly and the Heavenly Fortune Wheel are already Star Beasts, but the White Jade Spider and the Xirang Foundation Stone are rumored to have been stuck at the Desolate Beast Nine-Star realm.

Their Desolate Beast Rank makes it too difficult for them to continuously connect the entire Huaguo, so this Illusion World has not been widely used and is only provided for national Breeder assessments.

As for your intellectual property, would a Star Rank State Elder care about your low-Rank Evolution Path?”

Thinking of the abnormal level of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit that Luo Chen had evolved, Luo Yuheng immediately changed his mind,

“How about this, I’ll give you three Star Beast Evolution Paths. You should study them diligently during this time and use the three Evolution Paths I give you to participate in the assessment.”

“Okay.”

This seemed to be the best solution for now.

The next day, after Little Furball, along with the selected Azure Nether Grass and Starlight Stone Spirit, had finished soaking in the Transformation Pool, the store officially opened.

However, it was unclear whether the news of Chenyang Pet Store opening had spread, as when the store opened today, a dense crowd was seen outside the door.

Luo Chen was slightly stunned, then decisively closed the store door again.

Leaving a bewildered crowd outside the door.

“Didn’t they say this store reopened?”

“Ah, I couldn’t squeeze in last time. Today, I must be the first.”

“The store won’t be opening today, will it?”

“It must be that you guys were too close and scared the little brother. Everyone, please disperse.”

“Everyone disperse? You want to hog the front, don’t you?”

…

Luo Chen calmed himself down slightly, then walked back to the warehouse and took out a sign with a QR code on it.

This was prepared for him by Luo Yang before he went to school, saying that if there were too many people, they should implement a crowd control policy, and only those with appointments could enter.

Luo Chen opened the store door and placed the sign horizontally in front of it.

“Everyone, please quiet down, line up, scan the code to enter in order. The store space is limited, only two hundred people are allowed in at a time. Anyone exceeding the limit will not be served. Please bear with us.”

After speaking, Luo Chen propped up the QR code sign in front of the store and called out Little Furball and the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch to help him maintain order at the storefront.

Little Furball still appeared relatively reserved and shy, but the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch seemed very fierce.

Some people, unwilling to queue, pushed forward, causing the scene to become chaotic for a moment. The Colorful Sound Spirit Finch let out a high-pitched cry.

It briefly intimidated everyone present, and then it was seen cursing and scolding those who were not following the rules.

“You, did your ears get stuffed with donkey hair? Can’t you hear that you need to queue?”

“With that scrawny body of yours, you’re trying to charge forward like others? Do you want to become a paper-thin person to go on a date with your two-dimensional wife?”

“And your greasy, perverted hand, are you trying to take advantage of people in the chaos?”

“You look decent, but your character is sickening. ‘Gold on the outside, dross on the inside’ must be talking about you, right?”

…

The Colorful Sound Spirit Finch went all out, scolding several unruly individuals, and after they sheepishly retreated, the scene immediately became orderly.

One by one, they orderly scanned the code and entered the pet store. Little Furball, guarding the door, watched the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch flying back and forth among the long queue, its eyes gleaming with admiration.

Next to Little Furball, Luo Chen was initially happily watching the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch chastise the unruly people, but when he saw Little Furball’s eyes, a sense of vigilance immediately arose in his heart.

He quickly covered Little Furball’s eyes with one hand and its ears with the other, while continuously muttering,

“Children shouldn’t learn to curse. We must be well-mannered. Those without manners can be handled by the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch.”

Colorful Sound Spirit Finch: I thank you very much.

In any case, the situation had completely stabilized.

Once the number of people in the store reached 200, no more customers were allowed in. Only when someone left the store would new people be permitted to enter.

Luo Chen directly entrusted the entire task of guarding the door to the Colorful Sound Spirit Finch, though the price was a few kilograms of spirit beast meat.

No worries, Luo Chen was rich now and could completely afford it.

Perhaps this was the advantage of a trending store; it attracted a larger flow of customers, and it also meant that the goods in the store were more likely to be sold.

Although most people were just there to see the excitement, throughout the morning, three Starlight Stone Spirits were still sold, along with a considerable amount of their food, starlight stone.

Luo Chen admitted that he had underestimated Qingyang City’s spending power yesterday; there was still a large portion of wealthy people.

The pet store did not close for a break throughout the afternoon, continuously serving customers who came because of its reputation.

Chenyang Pet Store’s official account also gained several hundred followers and was still steadily increasing.

Because even if many people couldn't judge the quality of the Star Beasts sold in the store, they could only lament that Star Beasts were truly too expensive.

However, 'mystic spirit grass,' a resource that had appeared multiple times at auctions and frequently made headlines, was very familiar.

The value of one 'mystic spirit grass' was approximately 500,000 spirit coins, and three such plants were displayed on the first floor of this store.

Even if Star Beasts didn't cultivate, just simply breathing the air here, they felt they could achieve significant improvement.

Not to mention, some people actually analyzed that the selling price of the Starlight Stone Spirit, being slightly higher than Spirit Beasts of the same Rank, was quite reasonable.

After all, Spirit Beasts possessing Earth Tier Skills were extremely rare; most possessed Profound Tier Skills.

Furthermore, as the first Star Beast to appear in Qingyang City, the Starlight Stone Spirit was inherently a rarity.

Many wealthy families or research and breeding institutes didn't mind buying one back for study or to understand its habits.

So, in the afternoon, people from the larger noble families in Qingyang City, who had heard the news, basically bought out all the remaining Starlight Stone Spirits.

Among them was Wei Yansheng, who was now reportedly the full-time manager of the Qingyun Rare Item Auction. Although it was the same name, his position and salary had increased by more than just a notch.

He rushed and managed to snatch the last Starlight Stone Spirit for sale. Luo Chen had to admit that his luck was truly good.

However, when he left, he also took the Fragrant Rabbit that had been boarded at Luo Chen’s place. Even without dedicated cultivation during this period, this rabbit had still advanced to Fierce Beast Seven-Star, exceeding the originally agreed Fierce Beast Six-Star realm.

Wei Yansheng not only paid the originally agreed boarding fee but also specifically paid an additional amount for the cultivation to Fierce Beast Seven-Star.

However, Luo Chen didn't accept it, considering him an old customer, he gave it to him as a benefit.

After the last Starlight Stone Spirit was sold, Luo Chen decisively chose to close the store,

and sent a message on Chenyang Pet Store’s official account.

Chenyang Pet Store: This batch of Star Beasts has been sold out. Please look forward to the next wave of new Star Beasts.

Fans who followed the store quickly replied.

Sun’s Banana: Ah, I was planning to go to the store tomorrow to take a look. Does this mean I can’t go now?

Cute Little One Eating Candy: Yes, that’s right. Good thing I went today. I have to say, the spiritual energy inside is so rich.

Ice Pop Too Cold: Sister, if the store didn’t prohibit bringing Star Beasts, I would really want to summon my Star Beast to cultivate. @Cute Little One Eating Candy.

Cute Little One Eating Candy: @Ice Pop Too Cold, who’s your sister? I’m a man, but I managed to snatch the last boarding spot.嘤嘤嘤, so happy.

Ice Pop Too Cold: Die, whiner.

Zhang Zheng (Spirit Rank Four-Star Beast Master certified): The Star Beasts are great. Looking forward to the next batch of new Star Beasts. If they’re Nether System, even better.

Jade Makeup: There are too few Star Beasts in the store; I can’t even get one.

Dust on the Road: Pure passerby, is this store so willful? It closes directly when there are no Star Beasts? The supply chain is too poor.

Chenyangs Light: Little hater, stop pretending to be a passerby. This store only sells premium Star Beasts and won’t use inferior ones to fill the shelves. Of course, it’s a situation of supply not meeting demand.

Dust on the Road: This broken store still has a loyal fan like you? How much did you get paid?

Chenyangs Light: You’re just spewing nonsense with your two eyes. Didn’t you see the Star Beast information introduced above? Nether System Star Beast, Spirit Rank Star Beast, Earth Tier Skill. Oh, maybe you didn’t get a good education and don’t recognize it. Never mind, I won’t communicate with the uncultured.

Dust on the Road: You…

Wei Yansheng (Qingyun Rare Item Auction General Manager certified): The Starlight Stone Spirit’s Skill has been tested, it’s very strong.

A Spirit Beast Five-Rank Starlight Stone Spirit will appear at the next Qingyun Rare Item Auction. Those interested can continue to follow @Chenyang Pet Store #Retweet.

Qingyun Rare Item Auction Official Account: @Chenyang Pet Store #Retweet

…

The retweets by Wei Yansheng and the Qingyun Rare Item Auction completely brought a huge amount of traffic to the Chenyang Pet Store account.

Chenyang Pet Store’s follower count soared rapidly, and even Luo Chen’s personal account’s followers quickly increased.

It quickly surged to 30,000 followers. In this era of popular local area networks, in Qingyang City, with a population of only around a million.

This number of followers was already quite good, equivalent to three out of every hundred people having followed the Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House account when going out.
