Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: A Broke Loser's Bleak Future

The most important thing is, this is an egg on the verge of death!

To save it and ensure its talent doesn't degrade to D-level, a considerable amount of resources is needed, conservatively estimated to be worth over fifty thousand Dragon Coins.

Mo Qingchen shook his head and continued to look at the back rows of shelves.

Third row, fourth row…

Row after row he checked, looking at each one, and secretly marked the position of any egg with C-level or above talent.

After viewing all the shelves, he returned to the third-to-last row, gazing at the rarest Exotic Beast Egg in the Gambling Egg Market.

[Exotic Beast Name: Unicorne Egg; Condition: Life-threatening; Talent: B-level (Rare)]

This egg was earth-yellow in appearance, with a few black stripes.

It was somewhat dull and lifeless, not looking very good, giving off a feeling of a dead egg.

However, in Mo Qingchen's eyes, this egg emitted a faint silver glow.

It is the only B-level rare quality Exotic Beast Egg that is still alive in the entire Gambling Egg Market.

As Mo Qingchen gazed at this Exotic Beast Egg for over 3 seconds, the originally obtained information was once again extended by a large margin.

[PS: Descendant bloodline of a Great Needle Bee Lord, the larva is malnourished, extremely weak, and about to enter a life-threatening state.

Treatment solution: Soak the Exotic Beast Egg in ten pounds of honey for 3 hours to restore it to a sub-healthy state.

Incubation plan 1: Place the Exotic Beast Egg in an incubator for direct incubation to obtain a Unihorn Insect with talent degraded to C-level quality.

Incubation plan 2: Use one first-tier Insect Type and one first-tier Poison Element Energy Crystal Stone separately for incubation to obtain a B-level quality Unihorn Insect.

Incubation plan 3: Soak in Great Needle Bee Queen Honey for three days, then use third-tier Insect Type and third-tier Poison Element Energy Crystal Stone for incubation to obtain an A-level quality Unihorn Insect.]

"Whew, as expected of the concept myth-level 'Eye of Truth', not only can it show healing solutions, but it can also provide detailed talent enhancement incubation plans."

Mo Qingchen muttered inwardly, reaching out to pick up the 'Unicorne Egg', cradling it in his arms as he headed to the counter.

The same attendant from before greeted him and swiftly deducted 3,000 Dragon Coins. The 'Unicorne Egg' now belonged to him, along with an incubator worth 100 Dragon Coins.

Putting the egg into his backpack, Mo Qingchen didn't leave Wang's Mall but headed for the stairs to the second floor.

Wang's Mall's first floor is the Gambling Egg Market, while the second floor above is the Beast Taming Grocery Mall, selling items comparable in quantity to those at the official Beast Taming Grocery Mall, and priced a bit cheaper too.

So, surely, they would have the honey he needed right now.

Before the Beast Taming Era's arrival, honey was produced by ordinary bees and was very cheap, about ten to twenty Dragon Coins per pound.

But after the Beast Taming Era arrived, honey was only produced by certain Insect Type Exotic Beasts, the most common being Great Needle Bees, mutant bees, and such.

Prices naturally have risen compared to before the Beast Taming Era, although not to absurd levels.

Mo Qingchen entered the store selling various honeys, glanced casually at the counter displaying Queen Bee Honey.

There are quite a few types of Queen Bee Honey, with a glance revealing as many as seven in total.

Ordinary honey is priced at 50 Dragon Coins per pound, rich in nutrients, making it a good gift for the common folks.

While 'Great Needle Bee Queen Honey' is priced as high as 900 Dragon Coins per pound.

However, once Mo Qingchen locked his gaze on 'Great Needle Bee Queen Honey', new intelligence information appeared.

[Great Needle Bee Queen Honey: Specially brewed Queen Honey by the Great Needle Bee clan for Queen larvae, long-term consumption accelerates growth and enhances talent, potentially reaching A-level! (PS: Other Insect Type Exotic Beasts consuming long-term have a certain probability to enhance talent, potentially reaching C-level!)]

"This stuff, indeed, as expected of the specially brewed Queen Honey by the Great Needle Bee clan, it's truly significant for enhancing the talent of Queen larvae, a shame its real utility hasn't been fully understood by humans."

Currently, the general public knows only the last bit of intelligence in the parentheses of the description.

Mo Qingchen temporarily stopped thinking too much and began to follow the healing solutions and incubation plan 3 he had just seen.

He called over an attendant and pointed at the ordinary 'Honey' and 'Great Needle Bee Queen Honey' and said.

"Please pack ten pounds of 'Honey' and ten pounds of 'Great Needle Bee Queen Honey', thank you."

"Alright, I'll get that packed for you right away."

Purchasers of honey include both civilians and Beastmasters, and currently, there were three or four customers examining goods in the store.

"The price is favorable; two kinds of honey total 9,500 Dragon Coins. Would you be paying with card or cash, sir?"

The same attendant from earlier, carrying two iron buckets specially designed for honey, approached the cashier with a full smile, asked Mo Qingchen.

"Card."

Accompanied by the payment through the card, Mo Qingchen received a bank deduction message on his mobile, and his face darkened.

Gambling egg 3,000, plus honey purchase 9,500, this round without even contracting a Guardian Beast made his assets shrink from 21,000 to 8,500+ Dragon Coins.

Shrunken by more than half, this deeply made Mo Qingchen realize the truth: poverty is incompatible with a promising future.

Taking a deep breath, after checking the quality and weight of the honey, he opened his backpack and stuffed the two large buckets of honey inside.

The backpack isn't an ordinary one, but a space container, acquired as a second-hand good for 7,200 Dragon Coins from someone.

The Space Backpack has one cubic meter of space inside, and Mo Qingchen's valuable belongings are all kept inside.

The arrival of the Beast Taming Era caused some breakthroughs in human technology, including space backpacks.

A backpack with only one cubic meter of space sells for 10,000 Dragon Coins at the official Beast Taming Mall, but the price is slightly lower on the black market.

Mo Qingchen's Space Backpack was found on the black market, apart from some exterior wear, it functions perfectly.

The reason it's cheaper by 2,800 Dragon Coins is that it's stolen goods, although he has repackaged the exterior.

After the Beast Taming Era descended, the wild is not peaceful at all, not just threats from various Exotic Beast monsters, but people must be constantly vigilant.

Often, Beastmasters who die in the wild are not always killed by Exotic Beast monsters; some are murdered for their wealth!

Leaving the honey-selling shop, Mo Qingchen walked into the nearby store selling Energy Crystal Stones.

Incubation plan 3, to enhance talent not only requires the use of Queen Honey for three days but also the use of third-tier Insect Type and third-tier Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones for incubation.

First to third-tier Energy Crystal Stones are considered Basic Energy Crystal Stones; the higher the grade, the more energy contained, and the more expensive the price.
