Seeing this billboard, Su Bai was immediately enlightened. As a beast tamer, Su Bai's main combat power relies on his tamed beasts. Little turtle possesses the bloodline of the sacred beast Black Tortoise. As long as it can grow up, Su Bai will have the fundamental ability to survive in this catastrophe.
Little turtle evolution The way is to eat, and the appetite is huge and extremely costly.
At this stage, the biggest challenge Su Bai faces is how to make money to buy food for Little turtle.
This advertisement is simply a godsend!
A feasible plan has already taken shape in Su Bai's mind. However, at this moment, hiding in the Animal Training Area, Little Turtle feels a chill running down its spine for some unknown reason, as if it is being targeted by someone with ill intentions.
(Note: The Tamer System comes with an Animal Training Area, currently only 100 cubic meters in size, which will expand as the host's strength increases.)
...
Time always passes by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a day has passed.
After school in the afternoon, Su Bai hurried back home and released Little Turtle from his animal training area.
Let's not say anything more. Grabbing the still somewhat confused Little turtle by its front paw, I picked up the kitchen knife and sliced directly at it. But to my surprise, Little turtle's front paw was completely unharmed after the knife came down!
"So hard?!" If this knife had just cut into human skin, it would have split open the flesh and blood would have gushed out. So Su Bai increased the force and chopped with all his might, barely managing to cut a little bit of skin on Little turtle's front paw.
"Roar!"
The injured Little turtle let out a howl.
Su Bai quickly took out a prepared small test tube and collected a few drops of the fresh blood shed by Little turtle.
Originally wanted to take more, but at this point, Little turtle's wound has already begun to heal on its own, and it's no longer bleeding.
Its self-healing ability is a bit exaggerated!
Little turtle, who was inexplicably cut, stared at Su Bai with a pair of small green eyes, looking at him in horror, not understanding why its owner would hurt it.
Su Bai put the kitchen knife back and looked at Little turtle with a frightened look, rolling his eyes: "I'm doing this to make money to support you. Should I just let you freeload? Dream on!"
Su Bai couldn't be bothered with Little turtle's grievances at the moment.
He directly grabbed its little tail and threw it back into the animal training area. Then, he searched around the house and found his dad's black coat, a flat cap, and a mask. About ten minutes later, Su Bai walked in front of the mirror, looked carefully for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction.
With this disguise, as long as I lower my voice, hardly anyone familiar with me will be able to recognize me. Su Bai doing this is not without meaning. Eldritch Beast Blood is an essential material for making various healing and cultivation medicines for martial artists, and is a strategic resource required by martial artists and the Military. Even the most common and lowest-grade Eldritch Beast Blood could attract a lot of unnecessary trouble in this turbulent world of the Invasion of the myriad races.
Although the military has not tightly controlled these resources, there are private businesses in civilian areas that manufacture and purchase materials. However, it is still necessary to be cautious. I have not officially entered the military, and I do not have a very secure identity.
A lot of unnecessary trouble, try to avoid it if possible.
All prepared, Su Bai left the house.
...
Before long, Su Bai arrived at the address indicated on the billboard. Hiding in an unnoticed corner, he took a look at the small shop. The shop was quite run-down, a typical three-story building that seemed quite old, with only an iron sign at the entrance.
"Acquiring various raw materials, selling essential medicines for warriors, competitive prices. Confirming the address, Su Bai did not enter at the first opportunity. Instead, after hiding and observing for a while, and finding nothing suspicious, he finally walked towards the small shop."
As soon as you enter, a strange but not unpleasant smell hits you.
The owner of the shop is a white-haired old man, who is half asleep and half awake listening to the radio. When he hears footsteps, he knows that there's business coming.
old man He quickly gets up and squints his eyes, smiling as he looks up and down at the customer in front of him.
"Is the friend here to sell something or to buy something?"
Su Bai casually glanced at the old man, took out a test tube containing three drops of turtle blood from his pocket, and deliberately lowered his deep voice as he handed it to the old man, saying, "I'm here to sell Eldritch Beast Blood. What's your offer?"
The old man took the test tube from Su Bai's hand, opened the bottle cap, and sniffed it under his nose. A faint fragrance wafted out of the test tube, startling the old man. This Eldritch Beast Blood is extraordinary! Although it's only a common-grade Eldritch Beast Blood, the fragrance alone is not something that an ordinary exotic beast can possess. It's definitely a good thing!
Since the Invasion of the myriad races, the spiritual energy of the Earth has recovered, and not only humans but also animals, insects, and plants have a chance of mutation.
So scientists directly refer to non-human mutated species as "exotic beasts."
The degree of variation also varies greatly, with some being strong and others weak. For example, in the Sahara Desert, a mutated giant lizard with double wings on its back has mutated into a Fire Dragon, with strength comparable to the gold class of myriad ethnic groups, and under its fiery breath, the desert for tens of miles instantly becomes a land of fire and hell. It is one of the strongest known mutated beasts on Earth. If powerful mutant beasts have offspring, there is a high probability that they will also have the potential to grow into advanced mutant beasts.
Creatures like these special mutated exotic beasts or their offspring, although they may only be of ordinary grade, possess energy within their bloodline that far exceeds others of the same level, earning them the title of "Rare Exotic Beast Blood" among their grade.
"Rare Exotic Beast Blood" is often used to create exercises, replenish blood, and heal injuries, significantly enhancing the efficacy of medicines.
Especially for ordinary-grade "Rare Exotic Beast Blood," it is the best medicine for laying the foundation for martial artists. For many martial artist families that place importance on cultivating descendants, this is the most popular medicine.
The old man concluded that the Eldritch Beast Blood sold by Su Bai is indeed Rare Exotic Beast Blood! It's just unclear where this disguised customer in front of him comes from. This thing is not easy to obtain, basically relying on luck, or high-level warriors to obtain.
However, the old man didn't delve into it. He was a businessman, only concerned with what was profitable. He didn't care where the goods came from! It's just that the price... The old man pretended to carefully examine the blood, but in reality, he was already calculating how to lower the price.
After a while, the old man shook his head and said, "Young man, this is a regular grade of Eldritch Beast Blood. I'll buy it from you at the market price of one thousand dollars." Su Bai sneered in his heart and didn't bother to waste words. He picked up the test tube and walked away.
The old man was suddenly stunned, so decisive?
It seems like someone who knows what they're doing.
The old man hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and grabbed Su Bai, smiling and leading Su Bai back to the seat in the shop.
"Young friend, don't be so impatient."
"I hope you can be sincere." Su Bai replied briefly, not wanting to say too much.
Seeing Su Bai looking confident, the old man hesitated and extended a finger.
Su Bai nodded and said, "Alright, let's make it a deal for 100,000."
Pfft!
The old man almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He had intended to say 10,000, but he didn't expect Su Bai to have such thick skin!
Three drops for a hundred thousand, do you think this is Bronze level Eldritch Beast Blood?!
You really dare to ask for it!
The old man took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and calmed his anger before saying, "My friend, you really love to joke. This ordinary level of Eldritch Beast Blood, no matter how rare, can only be sold for a maximum of ten thousand yuan! My offer of ten thousand yuan is already very sincere. If my friend is unwilling to sell, I will not insist."
If the old man hadn't been staring at the test tube in Su Bai's hand while speaking, Su Bai would have almost believed the old man's nonsense.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to discuss. You really have no sincerity," Su Bai said, getting up to leave. After all, the turtle blood was in his hands, and whether to sell it or not was his decision. Su Bai was certain that ten thousand was definitely not the true price of this turtle blood!
"Little... little friend, let's discuss this. If the price isn't right, we can negotiate again..." The old man looked at Su Bai with a frustrated expression, almost cursing. The person in front of him was a bit difficult, but the item was definitely not worth ten thousand yuan, so there was room for negotiation.
This time, the old man pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. Your Eldritch Beast Blood may be of ordinary level, but it should come from a rare exotic beast. How about this, I'll double the price to ten thousand yuan."
"If you still don't want to buy it, then there's nothing I can do! I've been very sincere."
Watching the old man grit his teeth, Su Bai pondered for a moment, it seemed that 20,000 was really close to the boss's expectations. To be honest, Su Bai wasn't very clear about the specific market price, but he knew how to do business. He had seen too much of it in his two lifetimes as a profiteer. Wasn't this just asking for a sky-high price and then paying back on the ground?
Su Bai still didn't relent, he continued to probe: "Twenty thousand? The previous shop offered twenty-eight thousand and I didn't sell it. Why should I sell it to you for twenty thousand? If you can offer over thirty thousand, then I'll consider it!"
This statement really struck a chord with the old man.
In the entire county, there are quite a few pharmacists, and they have excellent basic exercise medicine that can help people quickly pass through the ordinary warrior period and advance to the bronze warrior level. Its value far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people. Let's not talk about whether it makes money or not. The most important thing is that selling this rare material can also gain some friendship with warrior families.
In the end, the old man gritted his teeth and decided to accept this Eldritch Beast Blood: "Fine, 30,000 it is! I won't take a single penny more!" Seeing the old man's furious appearance, Su Bai knew that this was the old man's limit. Without further ado, they completed the transaction.
The thirty thousand has far exceeded Su Bai's initial estimate. In the end, Su Bai handed over the turtle blood to the old man and received thirty thousand dollars in Cash.
Just as Su Bai was about to step out of the door, the old man quickly spoke up, saying, "Young friend, if you ever come across such Rare exotic beasts in the future, you can come directly to me!"
After leaving the pharmacy, Su Bai looked at the fiery red sunset in the sky, feeling full of emotion.
He never expected that three drops of turtle blood could fetch such a high price. It seems that making money in this era is not so difficult.
With this income, the pressure of raising Little turtle will also be greatly reduced. With thirty thousand yuan, you can buy tons of turtle feed!
The evening breeze brushed against Su Bai's cheeks, and unconsciously, even his steps became lighter.
"Humanity uses sand to try to build the Dream Tower of Babel, at the cost of Greed~"
A clear and pleasant ringtone sounded.
Su Bai picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from the class teacher.
"Hey, Su Bai, tomorrow the college entrance exam results will be announced and you need to decide whether to go to Wuhan University or another university. Don't be late!"
"Okay, I got it."
With a simple response, the call was ended.
There is a inexplicable surge of emotions in my heart.
Tomorrow is an important turning point in life.
Just as Su Bai was still envisioning the future.
Lying in the nurturing space, Little turtle seemed to sense something, suddenly raised its head, and its eyes showed vigilance, emitting bursts of roars.
And Su Bai also suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a warning panel from the system appeared before his eyes.
【Warning! Warning!】
【Three humans have extreme malice towards the host. The distance to the host is within ten meters. Host, please raise your vigilance.】
