Chapter 1097: Gambling on Eggs (11600 11800 Supplement)

"Is this... your Little Flame Sparrow?"

When the Little Flame Sparrow flew back, Sikong Xiaoxiao was a bit uncertain.

Could it be that they had remembered wrong just now?

How did this little bird go out for a flight and come back looking like it had gained a layer of fat?

Not only that, wasn't the Little Flame Sparrow famous for being timid?

Being stared at by their own ferocious, General Grade big fish, how could it not have a single shred of fear?

On the contrary, the Little Flame Sparrow perched on Aaron's shoulder not only disregarded Sikong Xiaoxiao's intimidation, but even seemed to roll its eyes!

That must have been an eye-roll, right?

Sikong Xiaoxiao could not accept the fact that they were being despised by a bird; the whole person... no, the whole fish was about to go berserk.

"Alright... let's go to Purple Jincheng and find Dugu Jian."

Aaron teased the Little Flame Sparrow, waved a hand, and put Sikong Xiaoxiao away.

Because after petrification, the vitality within the eggshell is constrained to the limit; regardless of whether it is through Natural Sciences or Beast Tamer methods, it is very difficult to detect whether a Fossil Egg still retains vitality, let alone the rank and species of the Pet Beast within.

But in the shop, even in the area with the poorest quality miscellaneous Fossil Eggs, a single piece of stone costs 10 Lang!

These are all scraps from mineral veins, not even having an egg shape, so obviously they won't produce any good goods.

Or rather, the players are not afraid of death.

Zzzzt!

Upon entering the market, the first things seen were a large number of stalls.

These stall owners dig up some Fossil Eggs themselves, and after paying a sum of money to the Ying Family, they can set up a stall here, but unfortunately, there are too many fakes among them.

Aaron could not be bothered to watch a group of people arguing with a fish, and after looking at the prices, they were truly not very cheap.

"It depends on the situation; if I can help, I'll lend a hand..."

"No goods again!"

"Dugu Jian, is he here again?"

Dugu Jian obviously has a bit of a reputation in the market; many people know him.

Among them, the top-grade and special-grade ones... cost even thousands or tens of thousands!

Dugu Jian stepped forward, muttering something, and chose three oddly shaped stones.

"And then you gave away the Dragon Egg you opened?"

Dugu Jian does not even need the master craftsman to do it; he can open them himself by picking up the tools.

Sikong Xiaoxiao replied with dead fish eyes.

【Pet Beast Name: Little Flame Sparrow (Mutated)】

In the end, he opened up a fluffy cub.

"Wuwuwu... I really liked Xiao Lv, but I never thought... she would actually deceive me!"

"Big Brother..."

These miscellaneous stones were of too poor quality, especially the third one, which he had just picked at random.

"This Dugu Jian is going to 'pad the blade' again..."

The cut surface was solid, and not a single hair of a Pet Beast was seen!

He sighed, his heart feeling truly cold, feeling that he would gain nothing today, and picked up the third stone.

Zzzzt!

The currency unit used in the Pet Battle world is 'Lang'!

According to what Aaron knows, he has traveled all the way to now and does not even have a few dozen Lang in his pocket, while a ticket for an ocean-crossing ship is about 20 Lang.

Being able to open a Dragon Egg is definitely considered being a lucky winner.

Dugu Jian wiped away his tears: "I was blinded by greed at the time, feeling that the other party was so incredibly perfect for me, so I wanted to have a romance in the game..."

Dugu Jian nodded fiercely: "I have already found out that her family runs a gambling egg stall; I am going to practice my egg-gambling skills hard and ruin her family's business!"

"Today I brought my Big Brother; my Big Brother is exceptionally powerful and will definitely be able to..."

"The guest has come again? Which treasures are you planning to choose today?"

"Yeah, go ahead... choose whatever!"

"That's only confirming it's a Fossil Egg... whether the Pet Beast inside is dead or alive, or what its rank is, is still unknown..."

"At least it's a Monarch, I want a Legendary, I want to take off!"

"Ah... me?" Dugu Jian pointed at his own nose.

In reality, if he were a native, he would likely have been beaten to death and thrown into the wilderness long ago.

He had great confidence in Aaron, but he did not expect Aaron to push him out: "Go to the miscellaneous stone area and choose three..."

Inside the shed.

This attracts one Beast Tamer after another who wants to try their luck.

"Sigh... Fossil Eggs, Fossil Eggs... naturally, the more egg-shaped it is, the more likely it is to have goods; this is common sense!"

【Skills: Flight, Claw Strike, Berserk, Divine Wind, Divine Flame,???】

Perhaps it was the first time he opened a Dragon Egg that gave him confidence, not knowing that behind this lies an endless Abyss...

Dugu Jian came out of an egg-gambling stall, disheveled, and let out a long sigh: "Just a little bit, just a little bit..."

The Ying Clan will not let him go.

"Hey, it's alive! It's alive!"

Not far from him, in the area specifically designated for opening Fossil Eggs, a player had just been dragged out while screaming: "The shell was black with misty python patterns... it clearly should have had something, why is it still a dead fetus!"

Probability and luck are very magical things, and difficult to calculate, but Aaron can divine them!

The shop originally had a free stone-opening area.

"I want to add more money, I want to fight again!"

If it were him, he could directly divine the most suitable experimental group number!

Several players around him pointed at him, occasionally letting out mocking laughter: "Is this that Dugu Jian, the player who previously hatched a Dragon Egg?"

"That salted fish has no cultivation value at all, it's just for a laugh..."

Dugu Jian walked into a large shop with practiced ease, looking at the Fossil Eggs of various shapes and completely different patterns and colors on the shelves, muttering to himself.

"It's so miserable, if it were me, I would have committed suicide and restarted long ago... although all savings would be wiped out, at least it would be better."

"Huh?"

After all, opening boxes... this is the traditional skill of all games!

Many players are addicted to this, even forgetting to play the game entirely, researching various egg-gambling techniques, and becoming superstitious.

"It looks like their family is skilled at using Shadow-type Pet Beasts, not easy to deal with!"

It's just that the gazes these players directed at Dugu Jian held no envy at all, but were instead filled with mockery: "Oh, is that the Dugu Jian who hatched a Dragon Egg and then got swindled by the natives?"

Aaron looked at the Salted Fish Spirit lying on its side to the side.

"So many gambling addicts!"

He carefully cut open the eggshell, poured in nutrient solution, and then began to peel it away bit by bit, terrified of hurting the Pet Beast inside.

Sikong Xiaoxiao had already been let out and was hopping around on the side: "You are so stupid..."

Other players immediately crowded over: "Padding the blade, padding the blade... this time it will definitely work!"

"I think he is calling for backup, once the people arrive... there will be a show to watch."

Although the quality is similarly poor, it can be guaranteed that they are all Fossil Eggs dug out from mineral veins.

The world is sometimes just that shitty; the weak get bullied and still have to worry about being silenced by the strong!

Fortunately, his status as a player saved his life.

Crack!

When he returned to the shed where he lived, he saw a figure, and tears immediately fell: "Big Brother... you finally came, woooo... I am so miserable!"

Perhaps the shopkeeper isn't sure if there are good goods inside either, and can only mark a high price, waiting for a sucker to come and open the stone.

"It produced something!"

The players who were spitting at each other with Sikong Xiaoxiao stopped arguing and came over to watch Dugu Jian get frustrated.

Otherwise, he feared that this salted fish wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the Little Flame Sparrow...

A sucker has arrived, surely there is money to be fleeced again.

Yet shortly after, they all let out miserable screams: "Why did it fail again? Could it be that the blade wasn't padded enough?"

"Idiots, at a time like this, of course you go all out!"

Aaron nodded slightly.

"The miscellaneous stone area is all scraps, ten out of ten are traps..."

He first picked up a dark red one with silver spots; he believed this one had the highest probability.

Even the weakest hybrid dragon-beast type is very likely to be of Commander rank.

Dugu Jian's eyes were filled with tears.

"As long as I get one more, just one more stone, it will definitely produce something!"

With a few cracks, the stone shattered, and there was still nothing inside.

Never mind swindling people, they might even ambush a large group of players!

Aaron nodded: "Then... what do you plan to do next? Go and kill that woman named Xiao Lv? Take back your Pet Beast?"

"Fine, then let's go gamble on some eggs!"

"Sigh, as expected!"

Through his spiritual intuition, he knew Dugu Jian could find good things this time.

"Didn't you form a Contract?"

After all, materials science research is like ancient Alchemy, requiring one to slowly try through exhaustive methods among tens or hundreds of thousands of combinations.

The waiter recognized Dugu Jian; his eyes lit up upon seeing him, and he smiled as he came over to greet him.

And in Purple Jincheng, there is the largest egg-gambling market!

【Race Rank: Commander Level】

Dugu Jian looked up at Big Brother and picked up the second stone.

Several players started jeering.

Dugu Jian gave a startled sound; the feel was not right.

Purple Jincheng.

When it comes to gambling, who can compare to him, who can perform divination?

He could even be a top-tier... divination-type scientist if he turned to the field of science.

"Because the NPCs in this game are claimed to be generated by Artificial Intelligence... I never thought that Artificial Intelligence would also lie!"

Dugu Jian gritted his teeth and, based on his own experience, randomly chose three: "Look..."

"Let's open them on the spot and see!"

At this moment, he operated the tool to slowly scrape away a layer of stone skin.

Actually, the vitality of Pet Beasts is quite tenacious; they basically do not die during the stone-cutting process.

"Stop cutting, quit while you're ahead!"

Aaron nodded.

This was where he had been superficial; the Artificial Intelligence in this game was quite formidable, and the NPCs developed possessed human-like joys, angers, sorrows, and pleasures, as well as the same personalities.

"Yeah, but he just wants to prove a point... look, he's here every day."

Some ancient Pet Beasts, for the sake of their offspring's survival, would actively petrify their Pet Beast eggs when encountering a crisis and bury them deep within the earth!

And the Lola Region seems to have encountered some terrifying catastrophe in the Ancient era, and countless Pet Beasts made the same choice!

It is the same logic as how, regardless of whether gambling makes or loses money, the casino always makes money.

Aaron looked at Dugu Jian like this and couldn't help but be speechless...

The strongest Beast Tamer currently known for Heart Power can reach the ninth stage at most!

This means a Beast Tamer can contract up to nine Pet Beasts!

'Perfect, aside from the salted fish spirit, the eight great Spirituality paths, one occupies one position... even a green caterpillar, once it gets my Spirituality cheat, can evolve into a Heavenly Dragon!'

Aaron rubbed his chin.

And slightly better stone eggs, those that barely have an egg shape, are worth over 100 Lang.

After cutting away a layer of stone skin, Dugu Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he casually made a horizontal cut.

"It is said that he even specifically broke a contract, causing his own Heart Power to be damaged, and now he can't contract a second Pet Beast... how miserable!"

Dugu Jian stared at the Fossil Egg with full concentration; he was a veteran gambling addict and naturally had already made his choice.

……

Sikong Xiaoxiao exclaimed, and then drew public anger: "What gambling addict? This is a matter of Natural Sciences, how can it be considered gambling?"

After going deeper, they arrived at a shop opened by the Ying Family.

……

Only after cutting the stone can one confirm the detailed information of the Pet Beast inside.

Sikong Xiaoxiao threatened to die if she had to stay in the Beast Taming Space, so she was let out, and the two of them, one fish, and one bird, went together to crash the place.

【Divine Attribute: Fire, Space,???】

Cut! Cut the hell out of it!

"It's a hit!"

Those NPCs were also happy to see Dugu Jian continue to degenerate, rather than killing him once and having him come back to seek revenge!

Dugu Jian's expression was blank, and he didn't take these comments to heart at all.

Aaron smiled slightly.

'Sure enough, cheating is still the best!'

This cub woke up from its slumber, raised its head pitifully, and let out a meow.

The next day.

"Even so, it's a profit... brother, 100 Lang to flip it, are you selling?"

This resulted in the 'Pet Beast egg mineral vein' resources in this area being exceptionally rich, which in turn gave birth to a massive 'egg gambling' market.

Shouldn't the big brother be leading him to slaughter everyone?

This script isn't quite right.

This is the largest city in the Lola Region, gathering much wealth, and it is closer to the Mysterious Ancient Forest, possessing many precious minerals and resources.

Dragon-type Pet Beasts have always stood at the pinnacle of all Pet Beasts, and the vast majority are Monarch Grade.

Chosen Children also like this place very much.

Dugu Jian looked at his boss.

A moment later.

Aaron smiled.

'But no rush to find a caterpillar now, first find a healer... give it a Red Spirituality cheat... by then, even a dead Pet Beast could be pulled back, though there might be some side effects...'

This made the Lola Region a holy land in the minds of many Beast Tamers with deep gambling addictions.

In front of a medium-sized egg gambling arena, Dugu Jian said bitterly.

"It went up again!"

She also looked down on gambling addicts.

Although there are many counterfeit products and fakes among them, there have indeed been lucky people who opened Monarch Grade cubs here.

"The family Xiao Lv belongs to is known as the 'Ying Clan', and the egg gambling arena they run is this one..."

A layer of stone skin fell away naturally, revealing a corner of the Fossil Egg's shell.

Among them, the most eye-catching things were the various Pet Beast eggs!

"Sikong Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"

If one's luck is heaven-defying, opening a Monarch Grade cub, or even a Legendary Grade cub, is not impossible.

This is ability!

……

This kid has indeed evolved into a gambling addict!

【Strength Level: High-level Commander】

"Profit my ass, it still depends on what rank it is!"

Dugu Jian held the kitten and was incredibly excited: "Boss... look! I cut a hit!"
