The Death Bell Dealer met its end at the hands of Xie Yang alone. As per the code among adventurers, the spoils, including the corpse, were his to claim. Shui Zhongzhen, if interested, had no choice but to negotiate a purchase with Xie Yang. Upon realization, Xie Yang gave a nod of agreement. "That's fine by me." The carcass held no value for him.
Shui Zhongzhen mulled over his offer for a moment before speaking up. "The Death Bell Dealer reigns as a sovereign among ferocious beasts, making its worth far greater than that of a typical fourth-rank creature. I have no intention of shortchanging you. Would three million credit points suffice?" The figure astounded Xie Yang. Even the combined materials of a regular fourth-rank beast wouldn't fetch more than two million credit points. Despite the Death Bell Dealer's status, its remains hardly justified such a steep price. Shui Zhongzhen's proposal was more than fair.
"He truly lives up to the title of a silver Beastmaster." Without hesitation, Xie Yang accepted the offer. "It's a deal!" Both parties were elated, sealing the transaction then and there.
With the coveted remains of a beastly monarch in hand, Shui Zhongzhen allowed a rare smile to cross his usually stoic face. Xie Yang, now three million credit points richer, was equally overjoyed. This windfall meant he now had the funds for evolutionary materials and a new pet. He had anticipated a half-month grind for such earnings, yet a single venture had brought him to his goal. "Risky though it was, this journey has paid off handsomely!"
Eager to return, Xie Yang saw no reason to linger in Knell Valley. After bidding farewell to the others, he departed. Adventurers, including Hardie and Kong Qian, watched his retreating figure. They all recognized that Lakeshell's firmament was about to be graced by a new and dazzling star.
Back in Lakeshell, Xie Yang made a beeline for the pet store he'd visited previously. The receptionist, ready to welcome the newcomer, was pleasantly surprised to recognize the talented and handsome young man from before.
"It's you!"
The young woman gasped, quickly recovering from her momentary lapse in composure. She offered Xie Yang an apologetic smile.
"Welcome. How may I assist you today?"
"I'm looking to purchase a pet."
Xie Yang cut to the chase.
As was typical for large pet stores, pets were for sale here. The woman gave a slight smile and gestured for him to follow.
"Right this way, please."
She led Xie Yang to the second-floor hall, where over ten transparent glass cabinets adorned the spacious and well-lit space.
Inside each cabinet were neatly arranged pearls, each the size of a longan fruit.
These were Sealed Pearls, devices used to contain tamed pets.
"These contain pets ranging from first to third rank. Feel free to browse," the woman said with a smile.
Xie Yang nodded his thanks and approached the nearest cabinet, pausing to examine the Sealed Pearls closely.
Next to each pearl lay a card, brimming with details about the Insect Beasts, such as their names, levels, potential ratings, evolutionary paths, and more.
Most of the pets were rated below Level C.
The ones with the highest potential reached only Level B, and there were merely three of them.
Yet, it was common knowledge that the truly elite pets wouldn't be found in a store; auctions were the venues where they fetched top dollar.
But Xie Yang wasn't hunting for these high-level creatures.
