Chapter 42 - 35: Wanting to Make Another Fortune from Fang Qjngqing
Chen Fan turned around…
Sun Xiaoxiao, Zhao Xin, Pan Xiangdong, and a large group of people were grinning at him.
The one who just spoke was Sun Xiaoxiao.
Chen Fan showed a wide grin and said, “We haven’t seen each other for a while, and you’re all glowing. Any good news?”
“Indeed, good news.” Zhao Xin glanced at Pan Xiangdong, then continued, “Xiangdong and a few of them have successfully Awakened during their second guidance. That’s the first piece of good news.”
“Secondly, we’ve all been assigned to class 3-4. The class monitor has used some funds to give us each 2000 union coins, for us to pick good weapons.
Then, under the guidance of a first-grade expert in our class, we’ll go to the
Sinking Star River to kill Blue Scaled Demonic Fish.”
Chen Fan was stunned, “That’s amazing! Everyone gets 2000 union coins?” “Why haven’t I come across such good things!”
“Do you still need this bit of money?” Zhao Xin retorted in annoyance, “Besides, these 2000 union coins aren’t given for free. Once we have money, we have to return it.”
“The class monitor said that the weapons in the school armory are typically made of special materials, even a small hint of Star Power can release the aura of the blades or swords.
“Under the guidance of a first-class expert, killing those fish that can’t come ashore won’t pose much difficulty.”
“Would you like to join us, Brother Chen Fan?”
“Me? I might not go.” Chen Fan waved his hand and replied, “I might not fit well into group actions.”
“What group actions!” Zhao Xin chuckled and gave Chen Fan a punch in the chest, “It’s team combat!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
But Chen Fan suddenly stopped smiling and said, “By the way, if you’re going to the Sinking Star River, you should be careful.”
“I had a long fight with those Blue Scaled Demonic Fish…”
“Even though they can’t come ashore, their water gun and water bubble bomb attacks are extremely powerful. Be careful.”
“The water cannon bomb is slow and easy to dodge, but it can float ashore. And if you fail to dodge it, you’ll be in trouble.”
“As for the water gun, its speed is quite fast. But if you find the right angle, it basically won’t harm humans.”
“Understood!” Zhao Xin, Pan Xiangdong, and the others slightly darkened their faces and nodded.
After chatting for a bit more, the group left together.
Sun Xiaoxiao looked back at Chen Fan, wanting to say something more but couldn’t find an opportunity or topic.
Chen Fan went to the other end of the weapon storage hall and picked up the long knife he had bought earlier. Fifty thousand union coins…
Kinda painful.
Hope it’s worth it.
There’s almost twenty thousand union coins left, which should not cause an issue when renting a house.
With the long knife unsheathed, Chen Fan stood in front of a mirror, posing with it.
“Hmm…”
Chen Fan nodded his head, muttering to himself, “Way cooler than holding a fishing spear.”
“Pfft!” Fang Qingqing, who had just come over to greet Chen Fan, burst out laughing.
Chen Fan kept a straight face, “I feel offended…”
“No…l didn’t mean to laugh at you.” Fang Qingqing blushed and explained, “You do look much better now, holding that long knife instead of a fishing spear with a green…slime on your head.”
Blinking his eyes, Chen Fan leaned closer and whispered, “Qingqing, is your family rich?”
Her answer was so direct that it was obvious nothing good was coming… Fang Qingqing was taken aback, “Well… it’s alright.’
Chen Fan sneaked a glance around to ensure no one was nearby.
He moved even closer, “So if you’re out of money now, you can ask your family, right?”
Fang Qingqing had never been so close to a man before and felt a bit uncomfortable. She murmured, “I believe in being independent. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I usually don’t ask my family for money.”
Such stubbornness!
Chen Fan frowned and said, “Qingqing, you’ve seen my abilities before…” “How about I help cultivate your pets… I should be able to cultivate them a bit faster than you could.”
“If you send your Silvermoon Green Feather Bird to me, it might be able to breakthrough to level 6 in two or three months.”
“Considering we know each other, I’ll only charge you 150,000 union coins.” “What do you think?”
“You can cultivate pets?” Fang Qingqing was both amused and exasperated.
Did this guy seriously consider her an easy target?
He was fooling around with his tricks again, and now he was trying to fool her!
If it weren’t for Chen Fan helping her heal the goblin and Silvermoon Green Feather Bird before, she wouldn’t even give him a moment and would just walk away.
The guy was just like the “Tricking You Beast Raising Studio”, always tricking people!
“I know you don’t believe me…”
Chen Fan said somewhat helplessly, “How about this, you just need to pay a 30% deposit. If I manage to successfully raise your pet to level 6, then you can pay the rest.”
“If I can’t do it, I promise to return you 50,000 union coins.” Fang Qingqing smiled, “No thanks. I’ll cultivate my pet myself.”
“The Guardian Beasts grow quickly in their Beastmaster’s Spaces.”
“It’s been over eight months since Silvermoon reached level 5. Once it recovers, I reckon it’ll break through to level 6 in about three more months.”
Tsk!
It seemed like Fang Qingqing was easy to trick before, so why wasn’t she biting now… wait, not biting, it’s not like I’m scamming anyone!
I really can cultivate pets!
How depressing…
Talk about cultivating pets with Director Li Sheng and got scolded.
Talk about it with Fang Qingqing, but she completely doesn’t believe it… of course, no normal person would, since I just came from outside.
Nevermind, I’ll go get a beast cultivating certificate first.
When I show you the certificate later, you’ll have to believe it, right?
“Woman, you’re deserting me today, but one day you’ll regret it!”
Leaving with a determined look, Chen Fan dropped the line and walked away proudly.
‘ Standing in front of the mirror, Fang Qingqing was in disarray.
Deserting?
Regret?
Weren’t we just talking business?
How did the situation turn into a “love drama”?
Chen Fan carried the long knife on his back and went straight back to his dorm room before logging onto the official website of the Beast Cultivator.
The Beast Cultivator registration fee was 15,000 union coins.
After paying the registration fee, Chen Fan was left with only 6000 union coins.
This money was burning a hole.
He had 120,000 just an hour ago, but now he was down to 6,000.
He felt like he was on the edge of survival.
Chen Fan looked out the window, where the two moons hung on the tree tops.
The night was deep.
Upon consideration, Chen Fan took out the “Itchy Fruit” from his Beastmaster’s Space.
This thing was inadvertently discovered when he was searching for the “Thunder Element Fruit” in the Black Ant Forest.
Whether it’s humans or creatures, anyone who touches the juice secreted by the “Itchy Fruit” or inhales its powder, would experience an unbearable itch.
After some research, Chen Fan learned that powerful Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists of the third rank or above can form a protective aura on their skin.
This protective aura can actually block many toxic substances.
But that doesn’t mean the Itchy Fruit is ineffective on high-ranking Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists.
Because they still need to breathe!
Moreover, the materials mentioned that smearing this juice on blades can keep it moist for several hours.
If the blade injures an opponent, the intense itching would immediately cause them to reveal vulnerabilities!
Used properly, this fruit can be a cunning weapon for sure!
However, accidentally getting smeared yourself would be very troublesome.
Chen Fan paced the branch with the fruit next to him and then started searching on the online shopping platform.
On the shopping platform, there was powder and juice made from gritty fruit, but they were all out of stock.
This stuff seemed quite rare.
Chen Fan searched further and found the antidote to the Itchy Fruit – a potion made from Bitter Gall Fruit.
A tube of potion is three hundred union coins.
Almost no sales volume.
No sales volume yet so expensive? Unscrupulous merchant!
Chen Fan bought five vials of the antidote and paid for it directly.
Wait for the antidote to arrive, then juice the Itchy Fruit and grind it into powder.
Suddenly his phone rang, “Is this Chen Fan from Senior Three Class Five of
Beastmaster? Your parcel has arrived.”
“Are you in the dormitory? If so, I’ll have someone deliver it to you.”
So fast?!
Chen Fan was stunned.
The materials needed for Snowy and Feicui’s breakthrough, which he ordered an hour ago, had arrived?
“I’m here, have someone deliver it.”
The status of Beastmasters at the school was once again demonstrated.
Parcels could only be delivered to the school’s mailroom, but the mailroom would deliver parcels for the Beastmasters directly to their doorstep.
Ordinary students didn’t get this kind of service.
Chen Fan waited a bit in the dormitory, and then two students, sweating profusely, delivered the items..
Opening a few boxes, indeed, they contained the materials he had bought for Snowy and Feicui.
Since the materials had arrived, it was time to get started.
Calling Snowy and Feicui out, Chen Fan began to get prepared.
The improvement of Feicui was relatively simpler.
So, he would start with Feicui.
Breakthrough to Level 3 Requirement for Feicui: 10kg of Explosive Bee Honey,
15kg of Purple Berries, 15kg of level 3 or higher demon beast meat, 15kg of Purple Blood Tree leaves, northwest wind, as well as high-intensity training and 15 energy points.
Northwest wind…
According to the prompts on the system, it seems that Feicui was born to absorb Star Power faster than other Guardian Beasts.
Prepare these materials into “dough”, let Feicui finish eating, set Feicui on the roof for a sleep, and that’s it.
As for high-intensity training…
Feicui liked to swim. Wich finding a pool and letting it swim for three hours is enough.
This system was quite funny…
Does swimming for three hours count as high-intensity training?
After complaining in his heart, Chen Fan took all the things like the Explosive
Bee Honey out.
“Chirp Chirp!”
Feicui couldn’t wait and jumped straight on it.
Chen Fan caught him and placed him aside: “Don’t rush, wait for me to prepare it before you eat it.”
Feicui drooled all over the floor.
This foodie…
“Snowy, keep an eye on Feicui for me, don’t let him eat indiscriminately.”
Chen Fan took the 15kg of demon beast meat and other items to the kitchen and chopped all the meat, berries, and leaves.
The improvement of low-level guardian beasts was too simple.
There was no technical content to speak of.
Chen Fan took a basin and put everything in, then poured the 10kg of honey in.
But when he brought out the basin, he looked at Feicui and frowned.
Sure, it was simple.
But Feicui wasn’t as big as a basin, could it swallow so much?
These blended things weigh a total of fifty-five kg.
Just then, Feicui looked at Chen Fan and, after getting his approval, jumped directly into the basin and began gobbling up the food.
As it ate more and more, its body also grew bigger and bigger.
Chen Fan didn’t bother to pay attention to it, and began to prepare Snowy’s materials.
Without any surprises, today he could help Snowy to raise its combat power level to 4, and help Feicui to raise its combat power level to 3.
On the other hand, Snowy’s species level could also be upgraded from low Awakening to moderate Awakening.
Feicui’s species level could also be upgraded from low Extraordinary to moderate Extraordinary.
Speaking of which, Snowy seems a bit odd
Snowy’s species level is low Awakening, which needs to reach moderate Awakening, high Awakening, and then it might break through to low Extraordinary, like Feicui.
Its species level is several levels weaker than Feicui.
But when Snowy was at level 2, its attack was already very strong, enough to kill a Blue Scaled Demonic Fish with low defense.
Feicui is now at level 2, and its “Gale” ability couldn’t even kill a level 1 Blue Scaled Demonic Fish.
It felt like this defies convention from any perspective.
“Why bother with all that, under my cultivation, whether Snowy or Feicui, they can all become legend!”
Chen Fan didn’t feel like thinking about it too much, and hastened his speed to work.
Short of money, huh…
To help Snowy and Feicui raise their Combat Power Level and Species Level, it costs a lot of money.
Where can I get the money?
Do I have to go outside the city to hunt monsters?
