Chapter 1103

"Fifteen thousand gold coins." Lin Cheng immediately slashed the price in return.

The illusion ability was too weak, not worth that price. Besides, the supervisor didn't know Pink Fox's specific illusion ability, and seeing the supervisor's money-grubbing face, he knew he'd been fleeced.

Thinking about it, he felt really unwilling.

"Ah, this customer, you slashed too fiercely. Twenty thousand gold coins, what do you think?" The supervisor immediately started crying in a convincing manner. "Twenty thousand gold coins isn't much, I'm just earning a hard-earned fee."

"Seventeen thousand, no more. By the way, has this little fellow reached adulthood?"

Lin Cheng's seemingly casual question made the magical beast supervisor's body stiffen. He had originally been thinking of selling it for twenty thousand gold coins no matter what, but now he decisively agreed.

"Alright, customer, that's settled then. Seventeen thousand gold coins, is that acceptable?" The magical beast supervisor's face showed a mournful expression, as if selling at this price was truly a loss, but in reality he shed tears while earning another twelve thousand gold coins from Lin Cheng.

As for Lin Cheng's question, the magical beast supervisor refused to mention it and began changing the subject, talking about the various benefits of the Pink Fox.

Anyone knows that a magical beast's ability is limited. If it's young, the magical beast's ability can continue to grow, but once it reaches adulthood, the magical beast's ability will solidify and cannot continue to grow. Lin Cheng naturally knew this, which is why he deliberately asked.

Earlier he said the Pink Fox's illusion ability was limited, seizing on the magical beast supervisor's lack of information as a loophole.

This made him harbor suspicion, and combined with the fact that human illusion-type magicians' abilities are often related to spiritual power, and a magical beast's spiritual power is self-evident, this became another point of doubt.

After Lin Cheng asked about the Pink Fox's adulthood, all the doubts in the magical beast supervisor's mind instantly confirmed the fact that the Pink Fox's illusion ability was limited and it had already reached adulthood, so he agreed to Lin Cheng's price reduction. Lin Cheng thought the price was too high and didn't want it.

In the seemingly plain conversation, both sides' mutual suspicion about the Pink Fox's information was hidden. If Lin Cheng had missed any single point of doubt, the magical beast supervisor would no longer have agreed to his further price reduction. The price of the Spirit Cat earlier had already been slashed by him once, and now another slash—in his view, it was about time to reach a low price.

In fact, Lin Cheng was still too young. Although the magical beast supervisor earned a little less, he was always making a profit.

Just as the saying goes: you might make a small profit, but I never lose.

After Lin Cheng paid the thirty-seven thousand gold coins, this transaction was considered smoothly completed. The magical beast supervisor shed tears while earning over twenty thousand gold coins from Lin Cheng.

If he knew the true market price of Moyi, he would definitely give the magical beast supervisor another slash... at the price. He was still too green.

Next, Lin Cheng and the others had already brought back the special spatial equipment that could hold magical beasts and returned to the inn.

On the way, passing the milk tea shop again, Lin Cheng, who had happily obtained a spirit pet, was in a great mood and bought some milk tea to bring back, planning to reward everyone present.

Especially Karo—if it weren't for him leading the way, he probably wouldn't have had the chance today to obtain this spirit pet.

Regarding the second cup of milk tea Lin Cheng gave him, Karo was still very grateful, but this time he properly wrapped it up, making sure the milk tea wouldn't spill on the way, planning to bring it back for his mother and sisters to taste.

To confirm some things about the Pink Fox, Lin Cheng also made an appointment with Karo to take them to the battle pet selection tournament site tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, Karo can continue to serve Lin Cheng for the next few days.

Karo was also very happy about this. Being able to serve such a kind customer like Lin Cheng was his honor. Returning to the inn, the night was deep, and Lin Cheng and the others went back to sleep.

Karo was still a bit excited. Earlier, when Lin Cheng bought milk tea, he also brought a cup for the mother and daughter at the inn. Lin Cheng didn't mind the 20 silver coins, but they weren't related by blood, and bringing two cups might make them mistakenly think Lin Cheng had some ulterior motive toward the mother and daughter, so he only brought one.

"Fina, Auntie Oukasi, Mr. Lin Cheng brought us milk tea, come try it quickly."

"What is milk tea?" Auntie Oukasi and Fina walked out from the back kitchen, smiling as they asked: "Is it something delicious~" Innocent Fina blinked her cute and adorable eyes, sucking on her finger, expecting Karo to bring her something delicious.

"Mm, it's a very tasty drink, it's the milk tea shop I told you about before." Fina couldn't remember at all which shop Karo was talking about.

Karo opened the exquisite packaging and handed one of the two cups of milk tea to Fina and Auntie Oukasi, while the remaining cup was planned to be brought back for his mother and sisters to taste.

"Try it quickly."

Under Karo's expectant gaze, Auntie Oukasi and Fina each took a sip of milk tea. The wonderful combination of tea fragrance, rich milk, and sugar spread wantonly across their taste buds. The milk tea brought not only the ultimate enjoyment of taste, but also a full sense of happiness.

For a moment, this mother and daughter pair, tasting milk tea for the first time, were stunned on the spot, amazed as if they had encountered celestial beings, unable to recover for a long time. When they finally came to, looking at the cup of milk tea before them, the mother and daughter fell into deep thought—if they were to cellar it, they wondered whether this kind of deliciousness could be preserved.
