35: Buy monster eggs

"Are you injured?" Lu Bingyun asked.

Xie Ning replied with a smile, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"You need to be careful of the Madman Hunter Group. They haven't returned from their latest mission yet. If they come back and find out something happened to their Young Leader, your situation will likely become dangerous," Lu Bingyun said, her brow furrowed with worry.

Xie Ning nodded, indicating he understood.

Lu Bingyun didn't continue that topic, but instead asked about something else.

"By the way, the College Entrance Examination is about to start. How do you plan to take the third subject?"

Xie Ning thought for a moment and shook his head. "I haven't decided yet. After all, I don't know how the scoring will work or what the tasks will be."

"Then have you thought about which school to apply for?" Lu Bingyun asked again.

To this question, Xie Ning answered without hesitation: "Lingnan Academy."

"That's great! We're also applying to Lingnan Academy. Why don't you team up with us?"

After Lu Bingyun finished speaking, Xie Ning naturally looked toward Mo Yu.

The latter was a bit depressed at not being able to watch the drama unfold. She glanced at him and said, "Don't look at me. I applied for the Breeder exam, so I can't team up with you guys."

"By 'us,' I mean besides myself, there are two others. They're top students from other high schools and also my good friends. Both have Bronze Rank Demon Tamers Beasts," Lu Bingyun introduced, then looked at Xie Ning, waiting for his answer.

To her disappointment, Xie Ning didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why did you choose Lingnan Academy?"

"It's the top-tier academy closest to our Flower City and has the closest relationship with us. Many times when Flower City was in crisis, Lingnan Academy was the one to help us out."

Hearing this, Xie Ning nodded and smiled. "I plan on taking Silver Rank missions. If you guys are okay with that, let's go together."

"It's a deal!" Lu Bingyun also began to laugh.

At that moment, the preparatory bell for class rang. Lu Bingyun and Mo Yu stood up to leave, but Lu Bingyun suddenly turned her head and said:

"I'll go back and tell my two friends first. See you at the exam center then."

After saying that, the two left the classroom and disappeared from sight, leaving the surrounding classmates looking at Xie Ning with faces full of envy.

Teaming up with the Campus Belle—what a great opportunity.

And it wasn't just the Campus Belle, but two of her best friends as well. Could the Campus Belle's friends be ugly? Impossible!

The more they thought about it, the more annoyed the classmates felt looking at the expressionless Xie Ning. Their eyes turned red one by one, as if they wanted to pounce and devour him whole.

Fortunately, the class bell rang on time and the teacher arrived in the classroom, saving Xie Ning's life.

During the afternoon practical class, many students who were rubbing their hands together, preparing to demand an explanation from Xie Ning, immediately backed down after seeing his evolved Poison Flame White Wolf.

Xie Ning had successfully turned himself into someone everyone avoided. Watching his other classmates fighting joyfully while he could only sleep out of boredom, Xie Ning gave a helpless smile.

After school, Xie Ning went to the Demon Tamer Pedestrian Street.

This was a pedestrian street composed of nine long streets. It didn't sell things for ordinary people, but specialized in everything related to Demon Tamers. Every year, people found hidden gems here, while others were swindled.

Arriving outside the Demon Tamer Pedestrian Street and walking through the quaint, traditional archway, the surroundings suddenly became lively. The historic buildings made it feel as if he had stepped into a backcurrent of history.

It was just that the shouting of vendors on both sides was a bit of a mood killer.

"Fresh Vine Tiger claws, Vine Tiger whips, and Vine Tiger skins! Friends who are interested, come and take a look~"

"Yao Beast blind boxes, fifty thousand alliance coins each, first come first served."

"Elite Rank Yao Beast eggs, one hundred thousand each. Guaranteed to hatch an Elite quality Yao Beast!"

"One-for-one Yao Beast exchange, no price difference, free replacement~"

Xie Ning was somewhat familiar with this place; he had been here a few times with his parents when he was a child.

He didn't look at the stalls selling Yao Beasts, but instead started searching for Yao Beast eggs.

For most people, buying a Yao Beast was better than an egg because after purchasing a Yao Beast, one could directly form a contract and fight. Furthermore, they were adults upon purchase, so there was no need for laborious cultivation or spending astronomical amounts on Materials for evolution, reducing many unstable factors.

But for those who truly wanted to cultivate their own Demon Tamers Beast, Yao Beast cubs or eggs were the best choice. It's just that cubs were more stable since you could choose them before buying.

Yao Beast eggs were full of uncertainties. Before an egg hatched, it was difficult to tell if it was healthy or what species it was. Skilled Breeders would judge an egg's information through its patterns, Spiritual Qi, and various other factors, but there was still risk involved after all.

Some people might hatch dozens of eggs without getting a single Yao Beast they liked.

However, none of this was an issue for Xie Ning.

With the cheat-like [Yao Beast Evolution System], he only needed a single glance to see the information of a Yao Beast egg.

He crouched in front of several Yao Beast egg stalls, looking here and there, passing through several stalls like a casual observer.

It had to be said that most of these Yao Beast eggs put out for sale were really not good stuff. They were either of poor quality or had Innate deficiencies.

Xie Ning didn't lose heart and continued searching the stalls. Finally, he locked his gaze onto an egg with black and white patterns.

[Yao Beast Name]: Wood Source Crane

[Yao Beast Grade]: Elite

[Yao Beast Attribute]: Nature

[Yao Beast Weakness]: None

[Yao Beast Status]: Unhatched

[Yao Beast Introduction]: A Yao Beast egg full of natural Spiritual Qi. The Spiritual Qi is sufficient; it could hatch at any time.

Xie Ning looked at the boss, who was busy watching a livestream, and asked:

"Boss, how much are the Yao Beast eggs at your stall?"

"5,000 each. Pick whichever one you like," the boss said without even turning his head.

"Okay, I'll take this one. Give me a box and I'll pack it myself. The money has been sent."

Xie Ning didn't make a show of buying a whole bunch of eggs, and the boss wasn't brain-dead enough to raise the price on the spot. People on the street were in a hurry, and no brainless idiot popped up to snatch an unrecognizable egg.

Xie Ning took the box, placed the Yao Beast egg inside, and then walked toward the Mo Family Cultivation Shop.

A few minutes later, Xie Ning arrived at the Mo Family Cultivation Shop.

It hadn't been long since school ended, which was a busy time for the shop. Several Demon Tamers Beasts were waiting for treatment in the shop. Mo Han was calculating something with a notebook and pen, while Mo Yu was busy looking for herbs at the counter.

"You look quite busy. Need some help?"

Mo Yu looked back and immediately broke into a smile. She waved at him and asked, "Great God Xie, why did you come over? Do you need anything? I'll give you a discount."

When Mo Han saw Xie Ning, she also gave a reserved smile.

"You guys helped me find the heart fire stamen. As a return gift, I'm giving this Yao Beast egg to you." Saying this, Xie Ning placed the box containing the egg on the table.

Mo Yu said to Mo Han, "The quality of a Yao Beast egg picked by Great God Xie definitely won't be bad. Sis, quick, see if you like it."

"For me?" Mo Han was a bit confused, but she still opened the box. Inside was a white Yao Beast egg about the size of a palm, covered in black patterns and brimming with Spiritual Qi.

"Yes! This was sent by Great God Xie. Let's see what kind of Yao Beast hatches." Mo Yu ran to Mo Han's side, hugging her arm and urging her.

Mo Han looked at Mo Yu, then at Xie Ning. Seeing him nod, she placed the egg in the Incubator, adjusted the temperature, and consumed some spirit Materials. Spiritual Qi instantly flooded in, and the egg shook a few times.

A series of fine cracking sounds rang out as the egg split. First, a pointed beak poked out, then a finger-sized head emerged, followed by the entire body. After this little Yao Beast came out, it ate the eggshells on the ground completely. As it ate, a layer of fine feathers appeared on its body. It slowly opened its eyes, and the first thing it saw was Mo Han.

"Li? Li li..."

Hearing the tender cry, Mo Han reached out and carefully cupped it in her hands.

"It's actually a Wood Source Crane. So cute..." Mo Yu looked at the little Yao Beast, feeling genuine envy.

The Wood Source Crane was a type of Yao Beast that could both attack and heal, and it could also fly. Furthermore, its known evolved forms were all quite strong, making it one of the best early-stage beasts for a Demon Tamer.

Mo Han held the Wood Source Crane, her beautiful face flushing red with excitement. her hands trembled slightly, nearly making the little fellow in her palm fall.

Contracting a Demon Tamers Beast—this was something she had experienced in her dreams so many times. She didn't expect that in reality, she would also have the honor of obtaining one.

"Xie Ning, thank you..."

Xie Ning smiled slightly and didn't answer.

Watching Mo Han's reaction, Xie Ning suddenly thought of the scene when he first encountered Little Mantis; he had been just as joyful and excited.

Since the shop was still busy, Xie Ning didn't disturb them much longer. He left after a few simple words.
