Chapter 9: The Ancient Jade Is Gone

At this moment, Ye Bai's eyes were comparable to the red-eye disease of a certain wave.

It was just that those blood-red eyes returned to normal after a few seconds, turning into deep, pitch-black pupils.

He familiarly touched the ancient jade on his chest, that heirloom of the Ye family.

Holy crap, where did my huge ancient jade go?

The rope tying the ancient jade was as thick as a hemp stalk; normally, it would be impossible for anyone to steal it.

Combined with the abnormality of his eyes, it was not hard for Ye Bai to associate it with the fact that the heart-shaped ancient jade was the legendary Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart.

Although he did not know what level of treasure this was, Ye Bai guessed it was at least legendary or above.

This heaven-sent wealth had finally fallen upon him.

Ye Bai's heart was thumping wildly, and at this moment, he felt a chill surge from his heart toward his eyes.

The soreness in his eyes that had appeared just now from using the Insight Eye vanished in an instant.

"No wonder, I was wondering why Li Weiyang was so cautious when using the Insight Eye."

"This should be the same principle as a certain wave ninja going blind from using their eyes too much."

"This should involve the issue of pupil power and replenishing pupil power."

"However, the Yan Kingdom Alliance has awakened the Insight Eye, so there should be countermeasures."

"Although the talent of the Insight Eye is very rare, it is said that Duan Tao, the principal of Imperial Capital University, has awakened this talent."

"He has already studied it for many years, so he should have developed medicine to alleviate eye discomfort."

Ye Bai muttered to himself.

He looked at the lightning cat in the cardboard box, which was curled up in a corner of the box, shivering.

The fur on its body was stuck tightly to it, covered in clear, transparent amniotic fluid, and its eyes hadn't even opened yet.

"This lightning cat, let's temporarily keep it in the Breeding House for fostering."

"Dahui, although this lightning cat was abandoned, there is nothing wrong with it itself, and we can find a suitable Pet Beast Master to adopt it."

"When I was giving the lightning cat a physical examination just now, I already uploaded the lightning cat's data."

"If a Pet Beast Master sees it and comes to adopt this lightning cat, you are not allowed to be sad."

After Dahui heard Ye Bai's words, it suddenly became a bit dejected; it held the lightning cat in the palm of its hand as if it were holding a rare treasure.

It liked picking up Pet Beasts and bringing them back to the Breeding House; it had become an instinct, and it especially liked fluffy things.

This lightning cat should be a favorite of Dahui.

Ye Bai looked at Dahui like this and couldn't bear it; he patted Dahui on the shoulder.

"Dahui, don't worry, we will find it a support."

"My judgment of people won't be bad."

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is my newly contracted partner—the Thousand-Change Silkworm."

White as jade and one meter tall, the Thousand-Change Silkworm crawled out from Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space.

"Thousand-Change Silkworm, this is Dahui; I treat it as my family, and the rest are the Pet Beasts in the shop."

Ye Bai never intended to hide the tracks of the Thousand-Change Silkworm from the beginning, otherwise, he might be interpreted as some scheming boy later on.

However, Ye Bai also subconsciously used the Insight Eye on the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

【Pet Beast Name: Thousand-Change Silkworm】

【Level: lv2 (First Order, Level 2)】

【Skills: Impact, Silk Spitting, Hardening】

【Evolution Route: Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm???】

"Strange, the Thousand-Change Silkworm evolves into a Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm, my god."

"Even the lightning cat has two evolution routes."

"It shouldn't be that such a rare Pet Beast has such a single evolution route!" "It shouldn't be!"

"Could it be that I obtained a castrated version of the Insight Eye? That's not right, the Information System revealed it was a copied Insight Eye; logically speaking, it should be a one-hundred-percent copy."

"I'll go to the library later to look up what kind of talent the Insight Eye actually is."

"What are its limitations, so as to avoid being misled by hearsay."

Ye Bai had only heard others say how awesome the Insight Eye talent was, but now it seemed just so-so.

It wasn't even as awesome as his own Information System; it even knew the news about the principal being bald.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm was summoned out of the Pet Beast Space by Ye Bai; it had slept enough and was full of energy, looking at the surrounding Pet Beasts like a curious baby.

Not long after, the Thousand-Change Silkworm had built good relationships with the surrounding Pet Beasts; it was like it had social anxiety-defying syndrome. Dahui watched the Thousand-Change Silkworm with a smile; it just liked the lively atmosphere of the Breeding House.

Ye Bai focused on a Buddhist-style of selling; all the Pet Beasts in the shop had been registered, and their defects were also clearly explained.

He insisted that there must be a connection between the Pet Beast and the Pet Beast Master, otherwise, he would not let the Pet Beast leave.

The most sold Pet Beast in Ye Bai's shop was the Sun Flower; its attribute was Wood, a plant-type Pet Beast, and its appearance looked like a large sunflower.

It only needed some water poured on it and to be exposed to the sun to survive; it belonged to a very easy-to-raise plant-type Pet Beast.

One of the raw materials for the Berserk Potion sold in Ye Bai's shop was the leaves of the Sun Flower.

At the same time, the Flower Nectar of the Sun Flower was also a relatively precious tonic.

There was also a Sun Flower the size of a millstone in Ye Bai's courtyard.

It was the only second-order Pet Beast in the shop, and all the Sun Flowers in the shop were propagated from it.

That night.

Just past twelve o'clock midnight.

Ye Bai saw lines of text appearing on his panel.

Daily Intelligence Update.

【1. According to scientific research, placing a Sun Stone at the roots of a Sunflower has a certain probability of allowing the Sunflower to evolve into a Sunflower King; the higher the quality of the Sun Stone, the higher the probability of a Sunflower King appearing.】

【2. Today at 5:45 PM, at lottery welfare station No. 24785, the only 10-yuan scratch-off card won a million-dollar grand prize.】

【3. Gray Night Chinchillas have an evolutionary path; according to scientific research, they require lightning-attribute treasures of heaven and earth, such as a Lightning Core or a Source of Thunder, to evolve into a Thunder Chinchilla.】

【4. A peak Tier 3 Dragon-headed Crocodile in Jiaying City intends to undergo the dragon transformation in three months, activating the Dragon Bloodline within its body to advance into a Tier 4 Flood Dragon.】

【5. Longteng Auction House will auction a piece of ore, and someone has cut a palm-sized Sun Crystal from the ore's scraps.】

As expected, this Information System refreshes every day at midnight.

Ye Bai's gaze lingered primarily on the second and third items.

The former could solve his current problem of being short on funds, while the latter could solve Dahui's evolution problem.

For some unknown reason, Dahui has become increasingly lethargic; it now needs to sleep for about twelve hours every day.

Even medical instruments cannot detect what is wrong with Dahui.

It is just that Ye Bai vaguely feels that Dahui is not quite right; connecting this to the fact that Dahui is a Pet Beast that escaped from a private Research Institute, Ye Bai believes that something must be wrong with its body.

If some Pet Beasts are nearing the end of their lives, they will reduce their own consumption by sleeping.

Dahui is family that Ye Bai spends every day with, and Ye Bai does not want to watch helplessly as Dahui's body develops problems.

That is why Ye Bai has been racking his brains to obtain the Insight Eye talent; he wants to figure out exactly what is happening to Dahui's body.

However, Ye Bai's Insight Eye does not work on Dahui; in Ye Bai's eyes, Dahui is just a blur of mist, and he cannot see anything.

Instead, Ye Bai's eyes felt as if they had been scorched by a bright light; he fell into a state of temporary blindness and only recovered after quite a while.

He does not know if the Tier 5 treasure, Seed of Life, would make any difference to Dahui's current condition.

When Shenshan Middle School selects Resource Boxes, they always start from the top-ranked student; he was first place last semester and was the first to select a Resource Box, so the probability of him being able to get Resource Box No. 38 is extremely high.
