57: Task refresh

Below the posts for Chenyang Pet Store, there were many comments that were unique, and many that were strange.

However, Luo Chen didn't pay too much attention to them. After all, this account was only for promotional announcements. When the store opened next time, it just needed to convey the message.

【Task Three: Sell twenty Beasts with Good Aptitude (Completed), Reward: Fifty points (Claimable), New items added to the store (Updated).】

Luo Chen first claimed the fifty points, then adjusted the page to the exchange panel to see what new items had been added.

The first five were still the same ones that appeared last time, so Luo Chen skipped them directly.

【Item Six: Energy Stone, each priced at 15 points;

Item Seven: Random Beast Blind Box, priced at 100 points (limited to one purchase per day);

Item Eight: Forgetful Flower (Weakened Version), this flower can make the target who eats it forget memories from the past month, price: 50 points (limited to one purchase);

Item Nine: Ancient Wood Spirit Realm Shuttle Card, priced at 550 points (limited to one purchase per week);

Item Ten: Primordial Relic Inheritance Card Blind Box, priced at 1000 points (limited to one purchase per week);】

Of the five new products that refreshed this time, all except the Energy Stone were subject to purchase restrictions.

After looking it over, Luo Chen ultimately spent his only fifty points to buy the Forgetful Flower, which was clearly a backdoor deal by the system for him.

Now he no longer had to worry about Moonstar Spirit leaking the secrets of Chenyang Pet Store.

But what was the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm? Was it some large secret realm?

“The Ancient Wood Spirit Realm is not a secret realm floating near Earth Star, but a truly independent small world where a large number of Wood Type Beasts live.”

Hearing the system's explanation, Luo Chen asked with some confusion, “Does this Shuttle Card mean you want me to go there for training?”

“You are the store owner; improving your strength is secondary. The main purpose is to bring back many Beasts and rare resources that Earth Star doesn't have.”

The system's disdainful voice seemed to be saying, 'We are business people, how can we always think about fighting and killing? Even if there's fighting and killing, it should be done by the Beasts we've cultivated.'

“Then what about this Primordial Relic Inheritance Card Blind Box?”

“As the name suggests, only some Beasts that were famous in ancient times can be called relics. These Beasts are all incredibly renowned, and their Inheritance Cards are not something any Beast can easily obtain.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's interest in buying soared, but then he looked at his current empty balance.

He could only resist looking at these items, otherwise, being able to look but not buy was simply too unbearable.

“System tasks have been refreshed.”

As Luo Chen expected, after that series of tasks was completed, the system tasks, which had not been refreshed for a long time, finally updated after he completed all of them.

【Task One: Cause three Spirit Rank Beasts to evolve, Reward: Two hundred points, two Skill Crystals.

Task Two: Sell ten Spirit Rank Beasts, Reward: One hundred fifty points, ten Energy Stones.

Task Three: Pass the Stellar Breeder assessment, Reward: Two hundred points, one mysterious Spirit Rank Beast.

Task Four: Sell one King-Ranked Beast, Reward: Five hundred points, one Bloodline Enhancement Stone.】

The new tasks were like an upgraded version of the Fierce Beast stage for him. He had already anticipated them and wasn't too surprised.

“Knock knock” a knocking sound rang out.

“Xiao Chen, the people from the Feng family who came for the transaction are here, right outside the door.” It was Luo Yuheng's voice.

“Coming.”

Luo Chen opened the door to the cultivation room and went downstairs with Luo Yuheng, who was holding the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit at the door.

He opened the door with the 'Temporarily Closed' sign, and an unexpected person was standing outside.

“City Lord Feng?”

His shoulder-length hair was casually tied back, and his sharp, eagle-like eyes put great pressure on anyone who met his gaze.

His thick sideburns added a touch of ruggedness to him.

This was a man with a story, Luo Chen thought of him.

Luo Chen looked around the shop door but didn't find anyone else, a guess flashed through his mind,

“City Lord Feng, please come in.”

Feng Qingyang nodded and calmly walked into the shop.

Luo Chen followed closely, closing the shop door again.

Watching Feng Qingyang walk in, a flicker of surprise crossed Luo Yuheng's eyes, soon followed by understanding,

“So City Lord Feng is from the Feng family of Liuguang City.”

Feng Qingyang forced an unnatural smile, but did not deny it.

He quietly scanned the interior of Chenyang Pet Store, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, “The shop has changed a lot from before.”

From his words, it seemed he had been to Chenyang Pet Store before.

Luo Yuheng smiled and shook his head, “I'm old. I've already passed this pet store on to my son. Please sit.”

After the three of them sat down in the resting area of the first-floor hall, Feng Qingyang was quite speechless when he heard Luo Yuheng's words.

“A King-Rank Beast Master has a minimum lifespan of three hundred years. You are only forty-something, how can you say you are old?”

“Haha, that's true. Maybe it's because I got married early; I feel like I've aged faster after having children.”

Feng Qingyang, who was fifty-five and still single, didn't really want to talk to Luo Yuheng at the moment.

He felt that Luo Yuheng was not suitable for small talk, so he decided to get straight to the point.

“I'm not very clear on the details of your transaction with the Feng family. She said I would pay twenty million spirit coins, and you would provide a Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit.”

Feng Qingyang was also at the last auction, and he knew how important the existence of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit was to those families, so he didn't appear too surprised.

However, his eyes occasionally swept towards the large rabbit in Luo Yuheng's arms, as if in thought, 'This is the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit? It doesn't seem to be in as good a State as the last one.'

Luo Yuheng smiled and nodded, “Since it was agreed upon long ago, we can proceed with the transaction directly now. However, it needs to be stated beforehand that this rabbit's Aptitude is only Good.

It cannot compare to the one in the last auction. The previous agreement also stated that the rabbit's Aptitude could not be guaranteed.”

Feng Qingyang scratched his chin and took out his terminal, “I need to confirm something.”

“Please do.”

Although the networks between cities were not interconnected, they were all local area networks.

However, calling was possible across cities, though it required paying high call fees.

Feng Qingyang's call was quickly connected, and a lazy female voice rang out,

“What is it, Qingyang?”

“The Aptitude of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit cannot be guaranteed. You know about this, right?”

The female voice on the other end paused, “Yes, that's true, but as long as the Spirit Affinity's talent is still there, the Aptitude doesn't matter much.”

Feng Qingyang looked at Luo Yuheng with an inquiring gaze.

“Don't worry, that innate Skill is still present.”

After Luo Yuheng's assurance, the female voice rang out from the terminal again, clearly having heard Luo Yuheng's voice, “Master Luo, a pleasure to cooperate.”

“Lord Feng, a pleasure to cooperate.” Luo Yuheng guessed from the voice alone that this should be Feng Manwu, the Wild-Ranked Beast Master of the Feng family.

Since Feng Manwu herself had no objections, Feng Qingyang had nothing more to say.

He hung up the phone, swiped his card to pay, and held the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit in his arms.

At such close contact, Feng Qingyang sniffed the fragrance from the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit and suddenly felt that the old mental injuries he had suffered years ago were somewhat alleviated.

“City Lord Feng, perhaps you could keep this rabbit with you for a while. It has a great healing effect on your hidden injuries.”

Luo Yuheng's words directly confirmed Feng Qingyang's guess.

Feng Qingyang's eyes shone with a certain light. Perhaps this Beast couldn't completely cure his mental hidden illness, but if it cured a part of it, he could advance further.

He suppressed his excitement and cupped his fists, thanking Luo Yuheng, “Thank you, Master Luo. I won't disturb you any longer.”

Seeing Feng Qingyang wanting to leave, Luo Yuheng did not try to keep him, but instead escorted him to the door.

As Feng Qingyang's figure disappeared from sight, Luo Chen asked curiously, “Does City Lord Feng still have mental hidden injuries?”

“He came to Qingyang City to be City Lord fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago, he was a King Rank Six Star Beast Master, and fifteen years later, he is still Six Star, with no progress.

This is very abnormal for his age and the King-Ranked Beasts he contracted. Just now, when the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit was in his arms.

His spirit showed some kind of fluctuation, which finally told me the reason. He must have suffered some kind of mental damage, which affected his and his Beast's progress.”

Luo Chen crossed his arms, “Everyone truly has their own story.”

He suddenly thought of himself; perhaps his story was even more bizarre than theirs.

Luo Yuheng didn't understand what Luo Chen was suddenly lamenting about, but the melancholy on his face made him look uncomfortable, so he patted his shoulder and said,

“Let's go. Let's learn the three Evolution Paths to pass the Stellar Breeder assessment.”

Luo Chen instantly snapped out of his melancholic State. In his previous life, he lived as an orphan until he was eighteen, and he had only been awake in this life for less than two or three years.

So, although he felt nostalgic, he didn't have an age-inappropriate sense of weariness.

He replied to Luo Yuheng, “Oh, okay.”
