Chapter 135: Sweeping Them All Up (Tenth Update, Requesting Everything)
This Sprite Egg Shop has four floors in total, each with an area of ten thousand square meters; in the Market District where every inch of land is worth gold, it is definitely the shop with the largest area.
This is also unavoidable; large Fairy Eggs alone are about a meter high, not to mention extra-large or Giant Beast Eggs, especially since they are all living things that cannot be stacked together or placed into spatial items, otherwise they would suffocate and die.
Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng stepped into the Sprite Egg Shop; what came into view were rows of shelves, upon which were placed a dazzling array of Fairy Eggs.
At the shop entrance is a "checkout counter," where two students wearing Yuanling Academy uniforms are busy, checking Fairy Eggs while collecting fees.
Among them, one is actually an acquaintance of Li Zhangsheng—Qing Cang!
Unlike Li Zhangsheng, Qing Cang was born into a commoner family and, relying on his own hard work and talent, went through countless hardships to become a student at Yuanling Academy.
Every year, Yuanling Academy absorbs a large number of talented students; among these people, some come from Monster Tamer families, some have wealthy backgrounds, but most are still commoner students.
Yuanling Academy has specific regulations that the proportion of commoner students recruited each year must not be lower than 50%, and they are also an important component of the Academy.
Thus, under the deliberate guidance of the higher-ups, the students of Yuanling Academy are vaguely divided into three major factions: the Commoner Faction, which has the largest number of people; the Powerful Clan Faction, composed of students with backgrounds in local powers, small families, and wealthy merchants; and the Noble Faction, composed of County Gentry, Famous Clans, and even the Imperial Clan.
Among them, the Commoner Faction is the most numerous, but limited by finite resources, the proportion of Elite Students is the lowest, and they rarely have the opportunity to represent the Academy in the Exchange Tournament; the Powerful Clan Faction is in a rather awkward position—whether in terms of numbers, the proportion of elites, or representing the Academy in the Exchange Tournament, they simply do not have the highest in any category and can only be described as mediocre; the Noble Faction has the fewest people, not even exceeding three digits, but almost every one of them is an Elite Student, and most of the students who represent the Academy in the Exchange Tournament each year come from the Noble Faction.
As a member of the Commoner Faction, Qing Cang, who had just been promoted to the Second Grade, had already reached the Second Rank, undoubtedly having a relatively bright future and a high probability of becoming an Elite Student before graduation.
The Third Rank is the watershed between ordinary students and Elite Students!
"Senior Qing Cang!" After Qing Cang finished his work, Li Zhangsheng greeted him.
"No wonder a magpie was chirping in the big tree just now; so it was Junior Li Zhangsheng who came!" Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng, Qing Cang revealed a smile, and just like last time, his words were as pleasant as ever.
Li Zhangsheng subconsciously looked outside and discovered that there was no big tree outside the shop at all, not even any greenery, let alone a magpie...
This guy Qing Cang is telling tall tales with his eyes open again!
This person, he says what people want to hear when meeting people and what ghosts want to hear when meeting ghosts, and he only picks the pleasant things to say, bluffing people into a daze!
"Senior, are you the shopkeeper here?"
"Stop joking, I'm just helping the Academy manage things and earning some remuneration on the side; at most, I can only be considered a manager!"
Qing Cang shook his head; he was born a commoner and could only rely on his own hard work to earn cultivation resources.
In fact, Li Zhangsheng was not much better off; without parents to support him and with few resources provided by his family, it could only be considered better than nothing.
Of course, Li Zhangsheng also has his own ways of making money; as long as he completes this plan, he will have large sums of resources coming in every once in a while.
"By the way, Junior, are you here to buy Fairy Eggs?"
"Yes, I was thinking that the probability of buying one or a few Fairy Eggs to hatch an excellent Spirit Beast is too low, so I decided to buy a large quantity of Fairy Eggs!"
Before coming, Li Zhangsheng had already thought of a reason; besides, his approach was not uncommon, as many relatively wealthy Monster Tamers would buy quite a few Fairy Eggs at once.
With a larger quantity, the probability of a High Quality Fairy being born also increases.
"This method is good, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive; it is best to have someone specifically to take care of them! However, with Junior's financial resources, I suppose this little expense is nothing to worry about. Then I will wish Junior success in hatching an excellent Spirit Beast in advance!"
"Alright, then I'll go pick them out first!"
While Li Zhangsheng began to select, Qing Cang gave a wink to a staff member, who hurriedly pushed a cart and followed behind Li Zhangsheng.
This is the special treatment for big clients; as long as a client reveals the intention to purchase a large number of Fairy Eggs, there will be staff specifically serving them to improve the big client's experience.
The first floor belongs to the appraisal area; the prices of these Fairy Eggs vary, mainly depending on the species of the Spirit Beast—the higher the species, the more expensive it is, and vice versa!
This time, Li Zhangsheng is prepared to sweep up all the high-quality Fairy Eggs in the shop, so naturally, there is no reason to let them go. He began to wander around the first floor, where there are extremely many shelves, on which Fairy Eggs of various sizes are placed in an orderly manner.
There is no regulation here restricting Monster Tamers from releasing their Mental Power, so Li Zhangsheng was naturally uninhibited and began to release his Mental Power, covering a radius of forty to fifty meters.
With the improvement of his Mental Power, the range of his Mental Power release has also increased to a certain extent.
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhangsheng's mind was like a radar screen, with dense light spots appearing, numbering as many as a thousand.
Among these light spots, the vast majority were dim, but there were also a few that clearly towered above them, emitting a relatively bright radiance.
These few brighter light spots represent the potential to hatch High Quality Fairies; according to Li Zhangsheng's experience, none of them reached the level of a Superior Fairy.
Following the approximate locations of the light spots, Li Zhangsheng soon swept them all up, and the staff member following behind hurriedly stepped forward to help, carefully placing the Fairy Eggs into the cart.
Li Zhangsheng lingered on the first floor for a while, during which he released his Mental Power several times before finishing the exploration of the first floor.
Regrettably, the harvest on the first floor was minimal; there was not a single Superior Fairy Egg.
Soon, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the unappraised area on the second floor.
The origins of the Fairy Eggs on this floor are unknown, and the prices are uniform; no one knows what kind of Spirit Beast will hatch, so it purely depends on luck.
Perhaps because their value is lower, the Fairy Eggs on this floor are placed quite casually, but compared to the first floor, there is a larger quantity of Fairy Eggs here.
At the first opportunity, Li Zhangsheng released his Mental Power, not letting go of a single High Quality Fairy Egg, and continued to sweep them all up.
Compared to the first floor, the harvest on the second floor was better; Li Zhangsheng even found a Fairy Egg suspected of being able to hatch a Superior Fairy.
Compared to this Fairy Egg, the radiance of the other High Quality Fairy Eggs was completely covered, as if surrounded by stars, all becoming foils.
After discovering the Superior Fairy Egg, Li Zhangsheng's heart was filled with joy; undoubtedly, this is a Fairy Egg with great potential, and it has the chance to become his contracted Demon Pet in the future.
Of course, it is only a chance; if the hatched Superior Fairy's species is too low, then it can only be like the Superior Lark from last time, and can only be traded for resources.
Soon, the staff member "packed up" all these Fairy Eggs.
Although a bit curious about Li Zhangsheng's actions, it is not as if there are no such "big spenders" who pick and choose, so the staff member could only suppress his complaints and focus on helping Li Zhangsheng.
Not long after, Li Zhangsheng began to head to the third floor; he was a little curious about what type of Fairy Eggs were on the third floor.
PS: Although the subscription-to-follow ratio did not meet expectations, it is not far off. I will try my best to provide ten updates in the next few days. Finally, I ask for a book list and help in recommending this book; with better results, I can have the motivation to type.
