Chapter 76: Species Upper Limit
Think about the many predecessors who were put on trending searches by Ghost-type pets...
Not to mention anything else, just the Treasure-Hunting Ghost that staged an accident for her today, and the three Ghost-type pets that colluded with it to block the surveillance, were enough to make her take it as a warning.
Qiao Sang's gaze became resolute, and just as she was about to open her mouth to refuse, the Treasure-Hunting Ghost on the side very sensitively sensed it.
It took a step back, stretched out its hand to pinch its face, bent both corners of its mouth down, and then floated in front of Qiao Sang, and bean-sized tears fell silently from its eyes.
This time it didn't cry out, just let the tears fall continuously.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, instinctively feeling it was going to pull some other trick.
But the Treasure-Hunting Ghost didn't do anything else, just stretched out its hand wanting to hold the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost back.
The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost held Qiao Sang's clothes tightly with its two short hands and turned its head to indicate refusal.
"Seek-Seek!"
The Treasure-Hunting Ghost called out in a hoarse voice, feeling very miserable.
The two staff members looked at each other tacitly.
"This Treasure-Hunting Ghost is its mother. It's doing this so that its child won't stay in the pet base forever like it," the middle-aged man said sadly.
"Didn't you say the pet egg was booked by a customer just now?" Qiao Sang asked.
The middle-aged man: "..."
"The Beast Tamer who booked it booked two other pet eggs at the same time. I don't know if it's a gift or for other purposes. Since it's a mother, it's understandable that it's not at ease handing the child to an unknown person," the yellow-haired staff member explained.
This was naturally fake; the above was just him applying the experience of other pets to say it.
Although this Treasure-Hunting Ghost is not its mother, its purpose is indeed to want its kin not to stay in the pet base forever like it.
The male Treasure-Hunting Ghost, only five years old, had tears falling faster, looking like it had been exposed.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Why is she so unbelieving?
Seeing the girl unmoved, the middle-aged man took another path: "The Treasure-Hunting Ghost has been verified to be able to evolve to the Emperor level, while the Cherry Wood Cotton currently only has examples of evolving to the King level. Are you sure you don't want to consider it again?"
It must be said that this middle-aged man hit the nail on the head.
Emperor-level pets correspond to the level of A-level Beast Tamers, while King-level pets are the primary condition for becoming a B-level Beast Tamer.
Of course, the growth upper limit of the Cherry Wood Cotton species being King-level doesn't mean all Beast Tamers can cultivate it to the King-level degree.
Normally, a Beast Tamer's energy and resources are limited, and the talent of the pets contracted cannot all be top-notch.
Out of ten thousand Beast Tamers who contract Cherry Wood Cotton, one who can cultivate it to the King-level pet is already considered a large probability.
Most people contracting Cherry Wood Cotton won't consider its growth upper limit, but Qiao Sang has to consider it.
Because she has a golden finger.
With this golden finger, she has the possibility of cultivating a pet with not-so-good talent to the species upper limit.
But whether the golden finger can make a pet break through the species upper limit, she doesn't know.
After all, every species breaking through the growth upper limit is a life-level issue that the Alliance has always been a key research project, which is not so easy to solve.
Her original intention to contract the Cherry Wood Cotton was for the healing skills on its body, to increase the survival probability in the wild.
In the end, the ultimate goal is to improve strength.
She had actually forgotten about this when choosing the pet yesterday...
"Then what about the Water-Lamp Crocodile?" Qiao Sang asked.
The middle-aged man: "..."
He sighed in his heart.
This girl has her own opinions, and it's obvious she had a choice before coming. It seems the Treasure-Hunting Ghost picked the wrong person this time...
"It's also King-level," the middle-aged man said sternly.
Qiao Sang continued to ask: "What about the Cotton-Cotton Bird?"
"Also King-level," the middle-aged man replied.
Qiao Sang was thoughtful.
It seems yesterday's choice was still too rash; should she go back and study it again...
The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost seemed to feel it hadn't been chosen, its mouth pouted, and it cried without warning.
This made the Treasure-Hunting Ghost so scared that it forgot to continue acting, thinking it was because its acting just now was too genuine.
Qiao Sang put her gaze on the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost.
Although the Treasure-Hunting Ghost is a Ghost-type pet, it's not the evil kind.
Actually, if Ghost-type pets weren't so fond of pranks and their temperaments weren't so weird, and they were slightly more normal, they should be many people's choice.
This little Treasure-Hunting Ghost looks soft and cute, not at all like it has a weird temperament.
Just thinking of this, the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost suddenly stopped crying without warning, raised its head, and looked at Qiao Sang with eyes still hanging with tears, and then called out sweetly.
"Seek~"
Qiao Sang's face was strange.
Why does it feel like this little Treasure-Hunting Ghost knows what she is thinking in her heart...
After the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost finished smiling, its gaze moved to the door, as if looking at something.
Qiao Sang's heart tightened.
She always felt the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's performance was abnormal. She looked in the direction, but didn't find anything.
"Miss, if you want pets with high species upper limits, you can let Little Liu introduce them to you later," the middle-aged man said.
The yellow-haired staff member, Little Liu, nodded on the side.
The Treasure-Hunting Ghost pouted when it heard this, knowing that the people in the base wouldn't help it anymore, and reached out to hold the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost to leave.
This time the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost didn't dodge, because its attention had always been on the door.
After the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost left Qiao Sang, it reacted, pouted, and was about to cry.
Just then, the door was suddenly opened.
"Miss, why are you here?" the female staff member who opened the door looked at Qiao Sang and said.
"Joy!"
The Green-Joy Butterfly, which had no presence, called out happily and flew to the female staff member's side.
Qiao Sang looked at the person who came in, stunned for a long time, and didn't answer.
The Treasure-Hunting Ghost was already floating at the door holding the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost.
"Wait!" Qiao Sang suddenly shouted.
The Treasure-Hunting Ghost stopped and turned around. It took out a hand and pointed at itself uncertainly.
"Seek?"
"Yes, don't leave yet," Qiao Sang said.
The Treasure-Hunting Ghost's eyes lit up, and it flashed back with a swoosh.
The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost blinked its watery eyes and looked over.
Qiao Sang clearly felt her heartbeat accelerate.
She was excited and uneasy inside, but couldn't see anything on the surface.
"How much is this little Treasure-Hunting Ghost?"
The three people present were all shocked.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said: "760,000."
Qiao Sang didn't speak, just frowned slightly.
"Can give you a 20% discount," the middle-aged man said immediately.
"40% off," Qiao Sang said.
The middle-aged man was both surprised and happy.
Although he didn't know what reason made the girl suddenly change her mind, seeing her momentum of cutting the price, she was indeed wanting to buy the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost.
It's just that this price cut was a bit too ruthless...
Before he could test the price again, the young girl in front of him took out a voucher from her pocket and placed it on the table.
"This is a pet egg exchange voucher worth 500,000. The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost itself should still be in the egg, but the Treasure-Hunting Ghost wanted to rely on me and deliberately broke the pet egg in front of me. You initially inviting me to the office should be wanting me to buy it."
"My Fire Tooth Dog was bought at your base; you can say I'm an old customer. You doing this makes me very disappointed."
"The three Ghost-type pets that appeared on the surveillance just now shouldn't be doing this for the first time either. I think it wouldn't sound good if this matter got out. If possible, this voucher can be exchanged for the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, and I will keep my mouth shut about what happened here."
"By the way, I forgot to say, this exchange voucher is a reward I got for winning first place in the Hundred New Competition. Have you heard of the Hundred New Competition that just ended yesterday? I should still have quite a few people paying attention if I make a statement or something now."
The Treasure-Hunting Ghost listened, stunned.
The middle-aged man: "...!"
Shouldn't it be them wanting to sell the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost?
How come it feels like they have no choice but to sell it now...
20 minutes later.
Qiao Sang walked out of the Hanggang Pet Base holding the Fire Tooth Dog in her arms and the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost on her head. ===== CHAPTER 77 =====
