Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-167

"Only one minute has passed, yet two big bosses have already bid two hundred million. It seems like more big bosses care about this crystal of profound meaning than I imagined."

The sexy lady spoke passionately, her white thighs and arms as eye-catching as the numbers displayed on the screen.

"Why don't you continue to bid?" asked Chen Ruoxue while sitting beside Su Bai.

"There's no meaning to continue bidding now. Let them snatch it first; I will fix the tone with a single hammer blow." Su Bai shook his head and said. If he also participated, the competition would become more intense.

Time passed slowly, and the two men had already increased the price to 300 million.

Finally, when the time came, Su Bai pressed the OK button and bid 350 million as he originally planned.

The number on the big screen jumped from 320 to 350 before finally becoming Su Bai's 350 million.

"Wow, thank goodness you are generous with your money, or else someone will have really snatched it." Chen Ruoxue patted her chest and sighed in relief.

"…Are you complimenting or scolding me?" Su Bai was speechless.

However, it was indeed thrilling. Originally, she told him not to bid such a high amount, but he felt that other people might also play the same tactics as him, so he had directly increased the bid by forty million.

After winning the crystal of profound meaning, he was left with two goals in this auction. Originally, he could at most win two items with his earning power.

However, the special elimination mechanism in the Rainbow Gate had allowed him to collect hundreds of people's battle gains, so he was suddenly a young upstart.

Soon the third item that he wanted was brought up.

"Next, we'll be presenting pet eggs. When this segment is over, the final item of this auction will be shown.

"Now, let's start the bidding for the first pet egg. It is a dark attribute sub-dragon Hunting Shadow Dragon with a starting bid price of ten million."

Pet eggs were relatively cheap as long as they were not divine pet eggs because there was uncertainty about their birth; also, many factors might cause pets hatched from pet eggs to be unsuitable.

The most common reason was the wrong characteristics. Even if it was the same kind of monster, there were generally many characteristics.

He directly bid twenty million for this one. Of course, this egg was not for him but rather for his father.

"It's VIP 9 again! Let us congratulate him for winning this Shadow Hunting Dragon egg at a price of twenty-five million!"

At this time, many people noticed the ninth private room and had various plans in mind.

Although Su Bai did not bid many times, he left a deep impression by winning everything he bid for.

Next, Su Bai won another purple Thunderbird egg for thirty million.

Soon, there was a pet egg at the finale, a Green Spirit Queen Ant egg.

This was a very special kind of pet egg. After hatching a Green Spirit Queen Ant, it could be cultivated as a group attack pet, but most people chose to use it as an auxiliary pet.

First of all, the Green Spirit Ant had a strong decomposition level, with sharp teeth to decompose materials, but their strongest function was that different ant species could create different spiritual soil. Thus, this breed was especially suitable for cultivators or those who planted orchards and spiritual plants.

He would give this pet egg to his younger brother as a gift. The Green Spirit Ant did not have a strong offense, so it was very suitable for Su Yue.

The starting price was twenty million.

"Room 3 has bid twenty-five million… Oh, the ninth room has bid thirty million."

The lady onstage looked at the fast-changing large screen and quickly updated the news.

Soon the price of the two sides skyrocketed, and the price of this Green Spirit Queen Ant egg reached sixty million.

"Who the hell is in this ninth private room? He's so fierce; it's really interesting to encounter such big bosses."

"It might really be a big boss. After all, this auction is not limited to those in the Scarlet Wilderness, so many people from Blue Planet have participated, too."

"Who knows, but this boss is rather rich and willful."

A group of people on the first floor gossiped about it because they all knew who was in Room 3.

"Very good. Room 9 has bid seventy million. Time is up; the last pet egg belongs to VIP 9."

"Didn't you notice the expressions of those people? The person in Room 3 seems to be a big shot." Chen Ruoxue pointed to the group of people on the first floor and noticed their entertained expressions.

"He's unimportant. Anyway, even if he wants to kill me, he has to find me first," said Su Bai disdainfully. He was no longer as weak as before and could conceal himself with the cub once he went out. Hence, he was no longer afraid.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door outside.

Chen Ruoxue got up and opened the door. When she came back, she handed a note to Su Bai. "Here, it's a threat letter. They told you to give a reply and are waiting at the door for you."

Su Bai took a look at the note and only then realized that the person who had been trying to overbid him was called Liu Sha. This guy very tactfully told him about his power and strength, hoping that he would let him have the pet egg.

Sneering, he replied: Who the f*ck are you?

He was so arrogant despite having only two monarch pets.

"Can you be more civilized?" Chen Ruoxue patted him angrily.

"I only behave in a civilized manner to civilized people, not garbage." He shrugged.

Not long after, he heard the sound of a teacup breaking and a tea table tipping over in a private room opposite.

"Okay, very good!" An angry curse ensued, sounding like rolling thunder as it expressed rage.

"F*ck! Listen to that; Liu Sha must've failed in the private negotiation and must've been insulted, too."

"Don't state the obvious; he sounds like he is about to explode."

"F*ck! Who the hell is in Room 9 to be so fierce? He dared to mess with a big shot with a monarch pet?"

The group of people on the first floor were stunned. Room 9 was behaving too recklessly. Generally speaking, even if one was not persuaded by someone, they would not deliberately insult the other party and draw hatred to themselves. Those who dared to do such a thing could only show that he was not afraid of the other party and was not bothered.

Those people who originally thought that the auction was boring suddenly looked forward to seeing them bump heads at the end of the auction.

"The next item is remarkable, and it is also one of our top treasures today. It is the 10,000-year Wood Pearl.

"We all know that there are mussels in the water that can produce pearls, but in fact there is also a wood monster called the Mussel Essence which produces a kind of wood pearl. This is the 10,000-year Wood Pearl in front of me.

"First of all, it has the effect of beautifying the face and delaying aging, making one look twenty years old at 40 and thirty years old at seventy.

"Second, after tens of thousands of years of precipitation, the wood aura contained in it is not only extremely pure but also extremely high in spiritual power. For a wood pet that is stuck in its breakthrough, only one is needed to make it directly break through.

"Its starting bid is fifty million. This treasure has an affirmed effect for pets to break through to the monarch level." The hostess passionately spoke, showing how much she treasured this wood pearl.

This was what Su Bai had been waiting for. It was the best treasure for the cub to break through, but he did not bid at the start and only watched others bid.

"This should be what you want, shouldn't it? Why aren't you bidding?" Chen Ruoxue shook him. "Have you fallen asleep?"

"Of course not. I just don't want to be outbid by the guy opposite us.

"I irritated him a while ago. If I bid now, he will definitely try to outbid me. I'll wait until the end to make my move."

He shook his head.

"…You even considered this?"

Chen Ruoxue was momentarily speechless. Since he had already thought of this, why did he bother saying such harsh words to the other party?

However, she also knew that the consequences of not speaking harshly were the same in the face of such arrogant people, as long as they did not get what they wanted.

"Okay, since there's only ten seconds left, let's congratulate—oh, let's congratulate VIP 9 for winning the wood pearl at a price of 135 million."

Following the lady's announcement, Su Bai obtained the wood pearl.

The sound of a teacup breaking echoed again; Liu Sha in the third room was about to explode in anger. He felt like he was being tricked repeatedly. D*mn it.

"D*mn! I must kill you." He smashed the table with a punch.

On Su Bai's side, the things he wanted to buy had already been bought, and the rest of what he wanted was in the next, not the first, auction.

Because Chen Ruoxue did not bid for anything, the two decided to look at the items and then leave.

The last few auction items were all monarch treasures that Su Bai did not bid for. They were useless even if he bought them as he would be unable to use any for the time being.

Soon, the auction was over. Su Bai kept all his pets in the contract book and then put the treasures he had won in his space backpack before walking out.

As soon as the two walked out of the door, they were surrounded by a group of people, headed by a muscular man who looked like a small giant with a height of 1.9 meters.

"My friend, you are crazy. I remember you: If you have the ability, don't leave the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar. I'll take after your surname if I don't kill you!" Liu Sha pointed at Su Bai and shouted angrily.

"I don't have a son like you. Why don't you come over and try to fight me if you dare? Otherwise, get out of the way."

Su Bai glanced at the person indifferently. Truth be told, he was really not afraid of a man who could only threaten him with his fist after failing to win the auction.

"I will take after your surname if I do not beat you to death today!" Liu Sha roared and rushed forward angrily. Having never received such harsh insults before, he was so angry he almost exploded. He raised his fist to beat the boy, desperate to find his reputation even if he had to pay a certain price.

Alas, when he reached Su Bai, he suddenly stopped and squinted at the blood-colored skull ring on Chen Ruoxue's finger.

"D*mn! You turned out to live off a woman. If you have the ability, you can hide in this Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar all your life to be a toy boy." Even if Liu Sha was about to explode in anger, he could only stop upon seeing the ring. Still, he expressed his anger by kicking a hold in the ground when he left.

"Let's go."

Su Bai glanced at Liu Sha disdainfully. He was just a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.

Watching him take Chen Ruoxue away, the others were shocked senseless. Liu Sha had actually been intimidated.

"What happened? Why is he living off a woman?" Many people were confused.

"Did you guys not notice that the boy's female companion was wearing a scarlet skull ring? Only Mistress Wei Ya can give such a ring, so that boy must be a freeloader."

"D*mn! He turned out to be a leecher. F*ck! I also want to be like him."

The group of people watching the show started gossiping heatedly. Liu Dong, the person in charge of the auction sitting upstairs, showed a trace of disdain on his face. "That boy is living off a girl? If you guys knew how he obtained the billions of dollars in his hand, I'm afraid you wouldn't even dare fart in front of him. Even Liu Sha chose not to provoke such an evil spirit."

"How is it? Isn't it fun to freeload?" Chen Ruoxue asked with a smile when they returned to the green bamboo residence.

"It's alright. Although they treated it disdainfully, who doesn't want to live off a woman?" Su Bai spread his hands and explained.

After chatting with Chen Ruoxue, he went to deal with the gains from today's auction.

Today's auction cost him nearly six hundred million, but the harvest was also very satisfying.

When the next auction started tomorrow, he would not need to buy anything else other than some skill jades and spiritual plants.

Two days passed quickly, and Su Bai spent another one hundred million winning some things in the following auction.

Among his successful purchases were three illusion skills, namely the Illusion Wave, Dream Ray, and Fixed Body.

The two attack skills and one control skill cost more than one hundred million in total. The main reason was that the Fixed Body control skill was very expensive. As the final treasure of the second auction, it had cost him over seventy million.

In addition, he bought two ice attribute skills, the Instant Ice Seal and the Ice Flame.

Su Bai let Liu Dong replace the remaining five hundred million with spiritual plants, which he used to make energy potions for his pets.

A bottle of better-quality energy potion was very expensive for commander pets, so five hundred million could only last for three months.

Of course, Su Bai had the bad habit of buying good things for his pets when he had the money.

It was the same as parents wanting to use the best milk powder for their babies.

In fact, the cub only needed a spiritual fruit worth eight million, but when he saw a better spiritual fruit worth ten million, he did not hesitate to bid for it.

In this way, he had reduced the money, which could have been used for half a year, to three months.

In fact, Su Bai had done this deliberately. It could inspire him to take risks out of poverty.

For New Year's Day, he would return home to give his brother the gifts he bought. Along the way, he also sold the five or six hundred million spiritual plants he had obtained in the Sleeping Dragon Abyss as he planned on asking his parents to pay off their loan.

After all, there was still a Kraken nest in the manor, so the sooner they owned the manor, the better.

In fact, he wanted to split the money with Chen Ruoxue, but she resolutely refused, saying that she wanted to fight on her own. In the end, Su Bai did not force her to accept it.

Time passed slowly as he made energy potions and medicinal cakes from the spiritual plants he had purchased. His girlfriend had also been around to help. It took five or six days for him to buy the spiritual plants and make them into medicinal cakes.

"Ah, I'm exhausted." He stretched and groaned, feeling like his current level of potion-making had already been tempered to intermediate trainer level.

"Who told you to spend so much money buying so many things at once?" Chen Ruoxue glared as she chided him. She rubbed her sore hands and said, "Once we are married, you're not allowed to manage our savings. You are even bigger of a spendthrift than a girl."

"Haha! My future wife who has worked so hard, I will let you manage our savings in the future." He laughed. "Let's go and see the Ice Phoenix and Ice Dragon eggs. I saw that they're about to hatch in the morning."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to the birth of my white dragon." Chen Ruoxue nodded.

However, they were both dumbfounded when they walked into the room where the eggs were.

"Where's my Ice Phoenix? Where could that huge egg have gone?"

Su Bai looked at the empty incubator and was shocked. It was obvious that the Ice Dragon egg was in good condition, but the Ice Phoenix egg had disappeared without a trace.
