Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

What bizarre yet incredible luck...

Yin Life Stones are produced in areas rich in Yin energy. Depending on their purity, they can be used to determine the age of a pet by observing the density of the patterns that appear on its surface after energy is injected into it.

Tu Zhiyi recalled the online description of Yin Life Stone that he had just found. He thought to himself that he couldn't understand why Lin Su would buy this rare but useless mineral before Sasagawa Kotoko mentioned it... It was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?

Here, take it.

After Lin Su finished paying by scanning the QR code, she handed Xiao Ying a hazy gray stone that was only the size of a billiard ball but shaped somewhat like a five-pointed star.

Yin Life Stones are actually quite rare, but because they are not very useful to most pets, their price is not particularly high. Of course, some ghost-type pets will especially like the yin energy they naturally emit. However, there are many resources that emit yin energy, so compared to them, the price of Yin Life Stones is extremely uncompetitive.

However, Xiaoying likes it, and it's a rare sight, so buying one to take home as a souvenir is a good idea.

"Ghost Puppet~"

Xiaoying stretched out her finger and touched the top of the five-pointed star, injecting energy. Two pale yellow lines extended from the point she touched, one short and one long, clearly visible.

One year and two months old, that's pretty accurate.

"Do you still have this kind of stone?" Tu Zhiyi asked the stall owner.

The stall displayed various kinds of ores, but it appeared that only one piece of each type of ore was on display.

"No more." The stall owner, having just closed a big sale, shook his head enthusiastically but regretfully. "You can try the regular stall around the corner; they might have some there."

Those who come to set up stalls without sufficient strength won't display anything of high quality. The stall owner there is a C-level Beast Tamer, and occasionally displays some high-end items, which should be more in line with the needs of the two of them.

"Thank you." After Tu Zhiyi expressed his gratitude, the two went directly to the stall pointed to by the shopkeeper and luckily bought the only Yin Life Stone on the stall.

However, this Yin Life Stone was much larger. Lin Su could guess without asking that Tu Zhiyi's sudden decision to spend a large sum of money to buy the Yin Life Stone was related to the information provided by Sasakawa Kotoko.

Come to think of it, I'm really lucky... Lin Su checked the time: "I'm thinking of going to the props and supplies store again later, do you want to come with me or go back to the hotel first?"

She had visited two-thirds of the stalls in the market, and so far she had only bought the C-grade Ghost Soul Pearl and the Yin Life Stone, as well as some local special tree fruits that could increase energy. Overall, the market wasn't very worthwhile.

Before the luck spell expires, visit several item and potion shops.

"Let's go together," Tu Zhiyi said.

He hadn't figured out how to bring up the topic of life sacrifice yet; whether or not to use it, and how to find a suitable recipient—these were all problems...

……

New urban area.

Napa Valley.

Large high-end shopping malls and various luxury flagship stores are gathered here, and even the air quality has improved by more than one level.

A doorman dressed in traditional clothing opened the glass door for two young foreign customers, and another employee immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Hello, would you like me to introduce myself?"

Lin Su asked directly, "Do you have any S-grade Moonlit Ice Jade?"

Asking for an S-rank item right off the bat... The shop assistant paused for a moment, then gave an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, we don't have any in stock right now."

Lin Su wasn't surprised: "Can I make a reservation?"

There are probably relatively few beast tamers in the Kingdom of Ronamo who can contract ice-type pets. This brand is a global chain, so it would be nice to be able to buy one after waiting a while.

VIC customers...

Her props were either provided by the research institute or found by luck; she hadn't bought many from brand-name stores. But if she pre-ordered them, it seemed like she could just order them after returning home...

Just as Lin Su was wondering whether to ask someone now, the glass door behind her was pushed open again.

"It really is you guys." Song Xingyuan said in surprise.

"None of us have Ghost-type pets, and we were worried about the dangers of going to the Ghost Market, so after thinking about it for a long time, we decided to come to the shopping street instead," Ding Luoying added. "I didn't expect to see you guys getting ready to go into the shop as soon as we arrived."

"That's quite a coincidence," Lin Su said with a simple greeting. "Does anyone here have VIC? I'd like to reserve a Moon Essence Ice Jade." She turned her expectant gaze to the two dragon keepers.

Xiao Yutong shook her head.

Lu Qi paused for a moment, then asked the shop assistant, "Can I give you my card number?"

"Yes, we have records of every relative who has registered with VIC." The clerk checked Lu Qi's ID card, and a manager immediately led the six people to the VIP reception room.

"The S-grade Moonlit Ice Jade is being shipped to you now. It will take about ten minutes to arrive. Credit card payments are not accepted from anyone other than VIC."

Lin Su: "!!!"

They actually have it in stock! What a difference!

"Can!"

Anyway, it can be reimbursed.

"Is there anything else you need?" the manager asked with a smile.

Lu Qi asked, "Do you have any S-grade lightning-struck stones or lightning crystals in stock?"

The shop assistant waiting nearby immediately checked on a tablet and apologized again, "I'm sorry, we only have Grade A lightning strike stone at the moment. We only have Grade B lightning crystal in stock. Would you like me to register and place an order?"

Lightning-struck stones are relatively common, but lightning crystals are quite rare, even grade A ones are hard to find.

"Then forget it." Lu Qi waved his hand.

Lin Su asked curiously, "Can stores in different countries check the inventory in other countries and then transfer goods?"

"No, that won't work." The manager didn't seem bothered by the question and explained simply, "Our brand only accepts purchases through our stores and our official website. For reservations of rare resources, the stores report the order, and then headquarters allocates them. The quotas vary from country to country, and we don't accept cross-border transfers."

It sounds like the marketing tactics used by luxury brands, which makes sense... Lin Su picked up her water glass and took a sip. Suddenly, she remembered something and sent a message to Lu Qi using her mobile device:

I have an S-grade Thunder Crystal, but I only need an Ice Jade Fruit or a resource that can quickly increase a pet's energy in exchange. If you haven't bought it yet, you can consider it.

Lei Zejing guessed that it was what the Thunderbird needed. She didn't have any electric-type pets, so she might as well exchange it for a useful resource.

The manager is introducing other high-level items in the store based on the attributes of the pets belonging to the customers.

Lu Qi glanced at the message and replied:

【it is good. 】

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Clarence Hotel.

A group of figures appeared out of thin air at the elevator entrance on the seventh floor.

Lin Su first went back to her room to settle her pet, and then borrowed the study in suite 726 again to discuss with Tu Zhiyi the life-saving plan that Sasakawa Kotoko had provided that day.
