Chapter 93

This horse series, the cheapest is the Platinum Wild Horse, six thousand ingots, the only horse he has unlocked at his level.

Right behind it is the Primary Red Horse he owns, able to see the name and the horse, in an unpurchasable gray state. After that, there are also some empty slots with the same horse silhouette; he can't see the name or the price.

As for this Blind Box Horse, priced at eight thousand, it firmly steps on the highest threshold the Dawang can accept.

If over ten thousand, the poor Dawang wouldn't consider it; his total savings are only thirty-one thousand, which is quite a lot if exchanged for silver and taken out, but if spent in the homestead, it's really not worth mentioning.

Even using all this money to buy tiles might not be enough to replace the tiles of the Dark King's Mansion.

This thirty-one thousand was earned by selling over ten thousand catties of fish and him and Zhuti taking turns setting up stalls.

Eight thousand, only two thousand more than the Platinum Wild Horse; what if he draws the Little Red Date or another unnamed horse later? At worst, drawing the Platinum Wild Horse would lose him only two thousand, which the Dawang could also accept. Why not give it a try?

Give it a try then!

The Dawang repeated his old trick, grabbing the White Marsh from its horn to its tail, and began casting the spell.

"Every time I touch you, my luck in draws is good; this time I hope it's a valuable treasure horse!"

The White Marsh couldn't resist and could only let him rub it, "Only at this time do you remember that I am an auspicious beast." Usually they just hug it like a little pet.

After touching the auspicious beast, the Dawang felt a luck bonus, immediately clicked purchase, clicked confirm payment, and his warehouse instantly gained a small box of the horse blind box.

Seizing the moment, the Dawang clicked to claim the blind box; in the next instant, the box tied with a string popped up on the bullet screen:

【Congratulations, Lord, you drew the Coco Bella Horse x1 from the Horse Blind Box; summon now? Yes/No】

"Wow~ The name is so special!"

The Dawang looked at his room; well, the tables and chairs had been moved to press down the hibernating Weini, and this empty room actually had enough space to stand a horse.

He just took it out to have a look; anyway, as long as it wasn't the six-thousand platinum wild horse, he'd profit, and everything after that was more expensive.

He raised his hand and clicked 【Yes】; in the next instant a flash of light passed, the Great King, looking up, saw nothing, and only when he lowered his head did he see a small foal standing by the bed, only slightly shorter than him.

It was a rare red-and-white floral pattern, fluffy and clean, with a pair of especially large eyes, "Wow, about the size of a dog, it's a little foal~ so cute!" The Great King was delighted.

Only Bai Ze gave him a sympathetic glance; here they sell only finished products, and I haven't heard of anything needing to be raised.

And then there was that excessively cute name…

Bai Ze reminded the Great King, "If it's a foal, the label would read 'Cocoa Bella horse foal x1'; yours doesn't have the word 'foal'."

The Great King, smiling like a blossom, didn't understand, "Huh? What does that mean?"

Bai Ze: "It might just be this size; it's not a foal."

"Impossible! Where in the world is there such a tiny horse!"

Bai Ze sympathetically said to the poor, inexperienced Great King, "There's a breed called miniature horse; they're naturally this size. It's perfectly normal to have such horses across the myriad realms. The red-date horse is your local specialty, and likewise other realms have many strange specialty horses."

The Great King was stunned, "Ah?"

He looked at the cute creature before him, "Won't it grow bigger?"

What use is a horse this size? At seven years old he can barely ride it; riding it past seven would likely be considered animal abuse, right?

"Impossible! Meng Meng couldn't possibly do this to me!"

The Great King hurriedly stored the Cocoa Bella horse back in the warehouse, then tapped the new horse icon that appeared beside the Xiao Zao slot;

【Cocoa Bella horse, also known as Pocket Bella, is a specialty of the Jiu Li realm. Average shoulder height about one meter, weight fifty to one hundred kilograms. Gentle temperament, clever and adorable, beloved by human youths.】

The Great King almost let out a "wang" cry!

Eighty thousand taels of silver!

"Waa waa, this time it has the word 'foal', but it's a human foal… I, the king, don't like this human foal! I'll never like Meng Meng again!"

"It's really expensive, it's still so small—is selling for eighty thousand taels reasonable? I've decided, its name will be—Eighty Thousand Taels!"

Bai Ze: ……

"Besides, Xiao Bai Ze, why aren't you effective anymore? Clearly last time after touching you I drew out the treasure ship…"

Bai Ze struggled to keep from laughing… "Cough, just because it's small doesn't mean it's cheap—what if its selling price is actually thirty thousand treasure? You need to open your mind."

The Great King was furious, "I need a horse I can ride into battle, or at least sell for a good price to exchange for grain. This is utterly useless—I say claiming it's precious because it won't grow bigger, who'd believe that? Weini's already smashed in my hand, while other bears hibernate through a winter's sleep, my bear gets up on three meals a day…"

Weini, who had been honestly lying in the corner pretending to sleep, instantly perked up his little ears, as if hearing mention of a bear.

Bai Ze: ……You're the one to blame for raising a glutton.

Today's matters are done; the Great King, though heart‑broken, stubbornly opened the shop and bought three more platinum wild horses—he daren't draw another blind box today, he needs time to heal.

He spent another eighteen thousand, bringing the Great King's savings to twenty‑eight thousand.

After paying, he summoned a platinum wild horse to have a look; this time the Great King was not disappointed.

Although having an untamed spirit is a big problem, its appearance is flawless. The tall horse standing before his bed has a stunning look—it truly is coated all over in platinum‑colored fur.

Standing still it looks like a white horse, but when it moves, its smooth, satin‑like fur ripples over the muscles, flashing a golden sheen. The platinum wild horse's white‑tinged fur tips are actually golden, especially beautiful.

The Great King finally satisfied, "With looks like this, wouldn't it bewitch my second brother?!"

As soon as the words fell, the horse seemed to suddenly realize it was free, turned and bolted toward the window; the Great King frantically clicked to recall it, but couldn't outrun its untamed spirit. Before being recalled, it reared up and kicked the wall hard with its forehoof…

The horse was recalled, but the room's sound‑proof hollow wooden wall, kicked, rang loudly, successfully alerting the outside guards—even Wei Shen next door, clad only in his inner garments, came rushing over to pound on the door.

"Your Highness? Are you alright? …What happened? Did the ship hit a reef?"

Zhao Bao: "…No way, the ship is stationary."

The Great King was as quiet as a chicken.
