‘At the very least, it’s not a low-grade pet. Master Xie had personally confirmed it.’
That was all the information that was provided. Not many summoners were interested in that particular egg. The price was not high either. It was only 5,000 gold coins.
Luo Chen did not understand why the high-grade egg was so cheap.
“What’s wrong with this egg? Is it unable to hatch into a pet?” asked the city governor’s son.
“No, the beast inside is very much alive but it’s not very useful. It’s a sea creature. Our country is surrounded by land and there are no wars at sea. So, owning such a pet is pointless. It’s fine if it’s an amphibian, but it may hatch into an eel or shark. I have not been able to sell it for years.”
The shopkeeper did not try to hide any information.
After hearing that, the city governor’s son walked towards Luo Chen in a despicable manner.
“I want this pet egg. Don’t compete with me.”
The city governor’s son smiled like an old fox. He wanted to trick Luo Chen into buying this pet egg as a form of revenge.
Luo Chen had been touching this pet egg for a while.
Shortly after, he let go of his hands.
“I spotted it first.”
Luo Chen wanted to form a bond with the beast in that egg. He was confident that it was a divine pet!
“You’re a joke. Shopkeeper, I’ll pay you 6,000 gold coins! That peasant would not be able to afford it.”
The city governor’s son looked down at Luo Chen.
“Then I’ll pay 7,000 gold coins. I can do this all day!”
Luo Chen was aware of his plan. The city governor’s son did not want the pet egg at all.
“You’re just showing off. If you can really afford to buy that pet egg, I dare you to form a bond with the beast right now,” urged the city governor’s son.
His goal was not to make Luo Chen lose money, but his pet slot. It would be funny if a fish hatched out from the egg.
“Didn’t you say you wanted the pet egg as well? Let us compete.”
Luo Chen laughed. This person had made him spend more money than necessary. There was no way he would let him off the hook.
“Do you think I’m afraid of you? I’ll pay 9,000 gold coins, but I choose the giant egg!”
The city governor’s son had fallen into Luo Chen’s trap.
It was a huge amount but to the city governor’s son, it was worth it. He refused to be embarrassed again.
Luo Chen wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
This scene had attracted a lot of people’s attention. Everyone rushed over.
“Is it true? Did someone just buy the store’s treasure?”
“What? The giant egg is sold?”
“The egg with the sea creature was also sold. This is so entertaining.”
Luo Chen knew that a sea creature may not be of much use. However, it was still a divine-grade pet.
Upon seeing the crowd, the city governor’s son erupted into laughter. He liked the attention.
“I will form a bond right now.”
The city governor’s son bit his finger and pressed it against the huge egg. Before he could even react, the eggshell began cracking. It all happened in a flash.
He thought to himself, ‘This pet should not be weak… right?’
A fat pig emerged. It had a very unpleasant odor.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“So, it’s a pig. Although it’s full of fat, it has very low defense. It barely has any attack power and speed as well. Nothing but a piece of trash.”
“D*mn, this is the store’s most valuable egg? I can’t waste my precious time here.”
“9,000 gold coins for that? Is he stupid?”
The crowd burst into laughter. It was a crushing defeat for the city governor’s son.
“This is a lie. I refuse to accept it.”
The city governor’s son collapsed onto the ground.
Then, the crowd shifted their attention to Luo Chen. However, they were no longer hyped.
“Maybe we shouldn’t hatch it here.”
Zhao Ling Er was worried for Luo Chen’s well-being.
“It’s fine. I’m going to hatch the egg now!”
The city governor’s son’s eyes were bloodshot.
He quickly ran over as if he had gone mad and watched intensely.
“Let’s get this started”
Luo Chen bit his finger. Blood dripped onto the pet egg and it was instantly absorbed. His spiritual power was gushing out.
This went on for some time.
Just as Luo Chen was about to faint, the beast burst out. The eggshell flew in all directions. It was as if a little bomb had detonated.
“It’s so powerful!”
Luo Chen was very surprised.
Everyone fell silent. They focused all their attention on the scene that was unfolding in front of their eyes.
The beast that appeared looked like a little girl. She looked at her surroundings curiously. When her eyes met Luo Chen’s, she smiled.
“Daddy!”
She spoke in human language and embraced Luo Chen.
It was then Luo Chen noticed something. The little girl did not have legs. Instead, she had a fishtail.
“So, it’s a mermaid.”
The mermaid wrapped its tail tightly around Luo Chen’s waist. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
“A pet that looks like a human? They are very rare.”
“Mermaids are marine creatures, but they can also fight on land. Of course, they would be at their strongest in their natural habitat.”
“It’s a divine pet!”
“For real?”
The mermaid’s appearance caused a commotion. Everyone was envious of Luo Chen. Some of them had never even seen a divine pet before.
More people gathered and the crowd grew bigger. The stall was packed.
“This is fake, right? It’s impossible!”
The city governor’s son said in despair but his voice was drowned out..
