Chapter 42: Wasp (2/2)

I didn't know anyone who was a tamer. Even if I did, there was no way they would capture a pet for me. Humans were naturally selfish, so there was no way a tamer would give up with a top-rate pet they captured to someone else. In this case, I had no one but myself to rely on!

I stepped out of the hotel and went straight to the magic shop. I planned to buy a ton of Sealing Cards!

That's right, Sealing Cards were mandatory if one desired to capture a pet. After I entered the shop, a beautiful girl wearing a maid outfit walked up to me and smiled. ”Young adventurer, what is it that you need?”

I nodded at her and replied, ”Sealing Cards, please!”

”Okay. How many Sealing Cards do you need? Each one costs 20 silver!”

”f.u.c.k, it's that expensive!?”

My eyes widened, but there was nothing I could do except pay. I spent 5 gold and bought 25 Sealing Cards in total.

When I walked out of the magic shop and returned to the streets, I heard a Level 30 tamer shouting, ”I just caught a Level 1 Green Praying Mantis with a base number of 17. 3-star Attack, 2-star Agility! Don't miss out on this super pet! If you're Level 30, come immediately and claim your precious pet! The price is only 50 gold!”

I was absolutely stunned by the price. 50 gold? Is he selling his pet or his dad? How ridiculously expensive...

There were three rules to follow when taming pets. Firstly, the pet had to be a Level 1 mob. Secondly, the player had to use a Sealing Card. Thirdly, the player had to be Level 30 or above!

Out in the wild, the chance for Level 1 versions of local monsters to sp.a.w.n was incredibly low. These monsters could then be captured, although the success rate was pitiful to say the least. If not for these two factors, that tamer wouldn't be asking for 50 gold for such a trash mob.

While I was grinding at Wildfire Plains, I actually ran into a Level 1 Greedy Wolf before. Unfortunately, my level was lower than 30 and I had no Sealing Cards on me.

Instead of rus.h.i.+ng off to catch a pet right away, I decided to check their stats first. Tamer had 5 pet slots, but other cla.s.ses only had one. Thus, I couldn't treat this matter lightly.

I opened the official website and looked for the Petopia. The stats of all the monsters at Floating Ice City entered my view.

Green Praying Mantis was an offensive-type pet, but it was very slow. Slime was your standard tank with 4.5-star HP. Wildfire Greedy Wolf and Sabertooth Tiger were pretty good, but the pet that really caught my eye was the Wasp. It had 4.5 stars in both Attack and Agility. Its Defense and HP weren't that bad either. It was the best choice for both PvP and PvE in the early game!

Alright, the Wasp it is. It'll be fun to fly everywhere with a wasp and sting countless baddies to death!

I checked the official data for a bit and discovered that Wasps were found at the south side of Floating Ice City. Their sp.a.w.n point was close to Greenstone Mountain Valley, and their level ranged between 35 and 40. Their high level meant that they were out of reach of most casual players, and even players on the Heavenly Ranking might find it beyond their ability to farm. One just needed to look at its Attack star rating to know just how deadly it was!

Fortunately for me, I had just obtained the Soul Turmoil Armor and the Beast-faced Turmoil Helmet. This definitely wasn't an impossible challenge with my new, improved defense!

I stocked up on potions and bought another 25 Sealing Cards. Then, I took off to capture my first pet!
