Chapter 45 - YOU HAVE TO BE PRETTY (2/2)
They both entered the store which quickly attracted the attention of the players inside. One was a beautiful white-haired elf, the other was a cute black haired gnome. Both looked different from the usual design of elves and gnomes, so of course they would gather attention.
Being the third young master of the Luo family, Luo Jin was used to being the center of attention. While Luo Yan just didn't care if people look at him or not. So both of them ignored everyone.
Luo Yan looked around. This General Store was a lot, and he meant a lot, bigger than the one in his Origin Village. It had four floors. Even at the floor they were in, he could already see lot of products on display. There were NPCs roaming around, probably to help the players if they needed anything - like some sales person or something.
He walked to one of the free NPCs. ”Do you have an artificial beast incubator?”
”Yes, please follow me to the fourth floor,” the NPC cordially answered.
He and Luo Jin followed the NPC to the fourth floor, looking around as they do. When they reached their destination, the NPC went to one of the shelves.
”What quality of the incubator do you prefer?” the NPC asked.
”The one with the highest quality,” Luo Yan didn't hesitate to answer.
”Here it is,” the NPC said and took out an oval crystal that had some golden girdle. If one looked closely, you could see some kind of liquid inside it. ”It's worth 20,000 crystal coins. Would you like to directly pay for this item right now or queue up at the cashier?”
”I'll pay for it right now.”
A window appeared in front of Luo Yan, asking him to type his account game name. He did and the words 'successful transaction' appeared right after. This way of paying was actually more convenient. This was probably the reason why there's a lot of NPC around.
”Do you need instruction on how to use it?” the NPC asked.
”Yes, please.”
”You just have to put the egg on top of it and the egg would automatically enter inside. Also, you have to input your Mana into it at least once a day so the egg could feel your care. Whatever beast that would be born will have an instant connection with you because of that. Once it's time for the egg to hatch, the incubator would issue a warning and then it would automatically shatter,” the NPC explained.
Luo Yan took the incubator and then took out the egg from his Items Tab. He did as the NPC told and put the egg on top of the incubator. Just like what the NPC said, the egg entered the crystal, submerging itself in the liquid inside.
”How could I input my Mana?” he asked the NPC.
”Just put your hand on top of it for ten seconds.”
He put his hand on top of the crystal, then a small bluish glow appeared. He felt something inside him being sucked. After ten seconds, he removed his hand.
”Do you need anything else?” the NPC asked.
”No, thank you.”
The NPC bowed and left them.
”Is that a dragon's egg?” Luo Jin asked, thinking that his second brother went to a cave where a dragon slept.
”I don't think so.”
”Do you plan to make it your pet once it hatched?”
”If it turned out to be a pretty beast.”
Luo Jin felt confused. What did prettiness have something to do with choosing a pet? ”What if it's not?”
”Then I could only sell it.”
Luo Yan looked down at the crystal incubator and smile threateningly. [So you better turn out pretty.]
If the egg had some kind of awareness, it would probably shiver right now and answer; [Yes, Master! I will definitely be pretty!]
