Chapter 143

"Hm?"

"Why don't you go persuade my father?"

"Me?"

Su Yang stared at Su Wan in surprise: "Is that allowed?"

"Why not?" Su Wan said seriously. "You don't know how much my father admires you—he talks about you all day long, Su Yang this, Su Yang that—I've grown tired of hearing it…"

Su Yang really wanted to ask, just where was he short?

"If you mention it to my father, he might actually agree!" Su Wan complained. "I feel like I'm going to mold if I stay in the city any longer. I shouldn't have graduated early!"

"Wouldn't that be a bit inconvenient?"

"What's inconvenient? You're my friend!"

"Alright, next time I see Uncle Su, I'll speak up for you!"

Given how Su Wan's younger sister and mother had cared for her, this favor Su Yang had to repay.

"Then let me thank you first!"

"You're welcome!"

"By the way, you're off for five days, right? Do you want to go to the auction together the day after tomorrow?"

Su Yang asked in confusion: "What auction?"

"You don't know?"

"I don't!"

"It's the Precious Items Auction hosted by Precious Items Pavilion—they only hold two major auctions per year in our Seven Stars City!" Su Wan said. "On that day, many precious beast eggs, celestial treasures for raising companion beasts, and Precious items like space pouches appear. I still need a companion beast—I want to go take a look."

"What? You haven't bonded your second companion beast yet?"

"No!" Su Wan said a little shyly. "My father did give me some, but I'm picky…"

Su Yang remembered the petrified golem sleeping in his space pouch—it was only Black Iron rank, but its potential was considerable; Su Wan would probably like it.

Still, he had no intention of giving it away.

Such a valuable beast egg couldn't be given away casually.

"Then let's go together!"

Su Yang also wanted to see it for himself.

Precious Items Pavilion was a renowned merchant organization in the southwest of the Huaxia Alliance.

It had branches in every southwestern city, including Seven Stars City.

But due to the companion beast cultivation system, Su Yang didn't care much about Precious Items Pavilion.

With the companion beast cultivation system nurturing his beasts, he had far less worry.

The Seven Stars City branch of Precious Items Pavilion was located in the outer district of Seven Stars City.

On auction day, the street in front of Precious Items Pavilion was completely blocked; many beast tamers lined up in long queues.

They had to pay an entrance fee before being allowed in.

Su Wan brought Su Yang off the military vehicle; Su Yang naturally fell into line at the back.

Su Wan waved to Su Yang: "Come, follow me—we don't need to queue!"

"Alright!"

At the entrance of Precious Items Pavilion, Su Wan showed a golden card; the beast tamers at the gate immediately cleared a path for them.

"Let's go in!"

Su Wan led Su Yang straight into Precious Items Pavilion.

"Are you kidding? Why don't they have to queue?"

"Exactly! They cut in line!"

"They didn't even pay the entrance fee!"

"…"

A large crowd of impatient beast tamers began complaining loudly.

A Precious Items Pavilion beast tamer shouted loudly: "That young lady just now is a VIP of Precious Items Pavilion!"

But Su Wan and Su Yang paid no attention to any of this.

Inside Precious Items Pavilion, Su Yang saw many beast eggs, clearly priced and appraised, displayed in glass cabinets.

Inside the glass cabinets, several slender, beautiful sales clerks smiled warmly at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to buy beast eggs? All these eggs have been authenticated by our appraisers—quality guaranteed!"

Su Yang shook his head.

Most of these beast eggs had growth potential of only Bronze or Bai Yin.

Su Yang had no use for them.

Next, Su Yang saw many plant-based beast fruits used for raising companion beasts on the counters.

Red Heart Flame Fruit, which promotes the development of fire-type companion beasts.

Bright Eye Fruit, which enhances vision with long-term consumption.

Blood Honey, which improves a companion beast's physical condition with long-term consumption.

Beauty Fruit, which makes skin smoother after long-term use…

Su Yang had only read about these things in books—he'd never seen the real items before!

After walking another dozen steps, Su Wan stopped at a particular area.

"Su Yang, look—beast egg gambling!"

Before Su Yang, shelves were filled with all kinds of beast eggs, varying in size and shape.

A beautiful female sales clerk smiled and asked, "Guest, would you like to take a gamble, test your luck?"

"How does the gamble work?"

"These ferocious beast eggs were all found accidentally in the wild—even experienced appraisers can't be certain what kind of ferocious beast will hatch from inside!" the sales clerk laughed. "For just five thousand Federal Coins, you can pick any one egg from these, and if your luck holds, you might get a supremely powerful companion beast. Would you like to try?"

Gamble on ferocious beast eggs?

Su Yang suddenly remembered the Storm Eagle.

This was his specialty!

Su Wan smiled, "Want to give it a try? There's still time before the auction starts!"
