Chapter 471 Beast King

The system, “Fierce Fire Ape detected. Calculating selling price…” “The Fierce Fire Ape will be sold at 0.59 million energy points.”

Su Ping: “??!”

Did the system just say 0.59 million energy points?

I spent one million and the ape would be sold at 0.59 million?

That is to say, I practically lost 0.31 million!

What the…

“Hey, are you sure about that? This is a beast at the peak of the t.i.tled rank. How can its price be at 0.59 million energy points? That means the price is less than one hundred million astral coins! That is outrageous!”

Su Ping couldn’t help but protest.

A customer could spend 59 million astral coins and get a beast at the peak of the t.i.tled rank from his store!

He was practically giving the beast away!

“The figure is calculated according to the beast’s combat strength, apt.i.tude, bloodline, etc. That is the price of the beast in this store. The host shall not swear inwardly. First warning…” The system sounded quite inhumane.

Su Ping moved his lips.

“The host shall not swear. Second warning!” The system sounded more serious.

Su Ping stopped venting his anger. “System, you are doing charity work, do you know that? Any other store would have sold the beast for at least several hundred million. Your price is so much lower than the market value!”

“The host shall not compare this store to the other puny stores out there. Those store owners always consider private gains, they are only running stores to make money as the middle-man! But the system’s price is fair and based on a reasonable evaluation of the beasts. The prices of all the beasts are up to the system’s standard!”

“Lousy excuses. Keep going.” “The host is advised to listen to reason. Do not cross the line.”

“…To h.e.l.l with thou!”

“No more warning. Punishment executed!”

There was a sudden, weird cry in the room.

A few minutes later, the system asked again, “Does the host have any other questions about the pricing?” “…No.”

“Is the price reasonable?” “Yes…”

“Good. The system is glad that the host can look at the big picture now.” “Sure I do.”

There was this saying. If life f*cked, you, f*ck back. If you couldn’t f*ck life, enjoy it.

Feeling low, Su Ping darted a glance at the Fierce Fire Ape and sent it to the storage s.p.a.ce. A swirl came out from nowhere and sucked the Fierce Fire Ape in, then the swirl gradually shrank and disappeared. In the meantime, Su Ping saw a cute profile photo of the Fierce Fire Ape showing up in the system’s shop.

What an adorable little thing. It was so adorable that Su Ping wanted to pinch it to death.

Su Ping shook his head and re-focused his mind on the pool. When he gazed at the pool, the pool was gazing back at him… for his energy points.

Without hesitation, Su Ping did another try.

One setback would not crush him.

It would take two setbacks to crush him.

“Confirm?” “Yes!”

Minus one million energy points.

The strange glow over the Incubation Pool appeared again. The glow was orange in color. It first appeared over the edge and the ancient grains began to move about once more. Many beams of light gathered at the bottom of the pool; a figure appeared as the light became brighter and brighter.

After that, all the beams of light vanished completely. Following that, a surge of powerful energy was spilled out. Su Ping saw that a big and fierce guy was in the pool.

Upon a closer look, Su Ping pulled a long face.

Again, not a beast king.

Again, a beast at the ninth rank and an adult one at that. It was also at the peak of the ninth rank, but it was evidently not going to help Su Ping make money. “Congratulations. Abyss Spirit Feeder from the End Era.”

“Good for me.”

Su Ping asked, “What is the price?” “The Abyss Spirit Feeder is detected to be below average. The price is… 0.65 million!”

Why was he not surprised?

He was losing money again.

Su Ping did some calculations. Two tries and he lost over seven hundred thousand energy points!

What the heck?

“One more time…” Su Ping bit his teeth. He initiated the process without hesitation.

Accuracy and speed! Bad luck would never be able to catch up with him as long as he was fast enough!

Minus one million energy points!

Whoos.h.!.+

The pool once again s.h.i.+ned brightly; mysterious and complicated patterns flew, and the energy was quickly gathered. After a while, a huge creeping figure appeared; a wild and powerful aura oozed out from its body, deep and terrible. Su Ping’s eyes glowed.

This is it!

As the light dispersed, Su Ping had a clear view of the beast.

The monster was like a giant crocodile, but its sh.e.l.l was like cyan dragon scales. Its pointed crocodile mouth, full of protruding teeth, looked extremely hideous and terrifying. It wasn’t difficult to imagine how painful it would be if one were bitten by this mouth. There was a sharp blade at the tip of its tail, with sharp scales on both sides.
