The Business in Roaring Tiger Park
After Xia Fei left, Yuhua picked up his fishing rod and sat down with Yujiang.
"The Mu family released Xia Fei just like that and even bought the Demon Chrysalis's corpse at a high price. Don't you think it's very unusual? There's no lack of infighting in the circle, and very few would miss out on such a good opportunity to kick someone when they're down, "Yuhua said.
Yujiang harrumphed. "They're clearly trying to get on our good side because they realize that the Yu family hasn't fallen like the rumors say."
"Actually, it's a good thing that Xia Fei accidentally barged into the Mu family. No matter how he killed the Demon Chrysalis, it's still an incredible feat for the Mu family. No level 4 Law Warrior can do it."
Yuhua continued. "So the Mu family thinks that we still have the strength to buy the Demon Chrysalis's corpse at a high price because of Xia Fei's future potential?"
"That's right. Xia Fei is very special. Even I can't see through him." Yujiang sighed. "It's good to have secrets. As long as I can use them, there's no need to ask too much. The truth will come out in time."
Yuhua nodded. "That's the only way."
…
Yujiang said that Roaring Tiger Park was very lively, but Xia Fei did not believe him. There were only two exotic beasts left in the park, and it was very peaceful every day.
"Master!" Lil Pea pounced on Xia Fei the moment he saw him. "Master, you're finally back! I missed you so much these past few days!"
Xia Fei patted his head. "I missed you, too. I had no choice but to leave you with Furball this time because exotic beasts aren't allowed in the collection reservoir."
"You've come back just in time. I've been giving Furball an Origin Crystal every day as per your instructions, but unfortunately, Furball has finished all ten you gave him, and he's still hungry since yesterday," Doudou said.
Furball hid in his blanket and ignored Xia Fei, seemingly sulking.
Xia Fei lifted his blanket and threw three grade 2 Origin Crystals at him. "Here, I'll triple your food today."
Furball was a classic example of a mother to anyone who fed him. The moment he saw the Origin Crystals, his eyes turned green. He was no longer angry at Xia Fei as he enjoyed his meal.
The Demon Chrysalis's carcass could be exchanged for a thousand grade 3 Origin Crystals, so Xia Fei was not in a tight spot. However, he did not give Furball the higher-grade Origin Crystals.
There was still a long way to go, and Xia Fei did not have a fixed source of income, so it was only a matter of time before he ran out of money.
Furball was a very picky eater. Once he had tasted the delicacy of a Grade 3 Origin Crystal, he would never eat anything lower.
It was better to prepare for a rainy day and plan for the long term.
After eating and drinking to its heart's content, Furball regained its luster. Xia Fei tucked him into his bosom and said to Pod, "Tidy up this room. We'll be moving to the new mansion tomorrow."
Lil Pea cheered loudly. He was like a long-winded housekeeper, always complaining in front of Xia Fei that the room was too small, too dark, and that it was bad for his health. Now that Xia Fei was a level 4 Law Warrior, his status had naturally risen, and it was no longer appropriate for him to stay in the acolyte's residence. The Yu family had assigned him an independent residence in the city, and he could move in tomorrow with the key.
Bringing Furball with him to Roaring Tiger Park, Xia Fei was puzzled by the scene before him.
There were about a dozen exotic beasts locked in cages, and there were even a few people waiting in the courtyard.
Seeing Xia Fei return, a lady in her twenties stood up and came to his side.
"You're the trusted supervisor of Roaring Tiger Park, right?"
Xia Fei nodded. "Miss, is there something you need from me?"
"It's nothing much. I have a grade 7 Greenhorn Python, and I'd like you to help me tame it," the lady said straightforwardly.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. Taming exotic beasts was naturally a small matter to him. All he needed to do was activate the Beast Spirit Codex and directly transmit the information to the exotic beast's brain. If that did not work, he could just use Furball to scare them. Even a high-level Beast King would not be dissatisfied, but how did so many people know that he could tame exotic beasts? Could it be that the fact that he cultivated the Beast Spirit Codex had gotten out?
"Miss, please wait a moment."
Xia Fei waved his hand and called Yu Sansui over.
"What's going on?" Xia Fei asked.
Yu Sansui smiled. "In our Yu family, many people have the habit of feeding exotic beasts. They're all warriors who suffer from exotic beasts not listening to orders. They heard that you've tamed two Beast Kings in Roaring Tiger Park, so they came to you for help."
Xia Fei nodded. It seemed that the fact that he knew the Beast Spirit Codex had not gotten out. If it was just to help train exotic beasts, it would not be a big deal. It would only take a moment.
"Alright, then. I'll wait in the room. You can ask them to bring the exotic beasts in one by one," Xia Fei casually said.
Yu Sansui grabbed Xia Fei. "How do you think we should collect the fee?"
"Fee?"
"That's right. We can't possibly trouble you for no reason. We should at least get them to fork out some money."
Ever since he saw Xia Fei tame two Beast Kings and made the feared Yu Qiqi suffer a setback, Yu Sansui had made up his mind not to make an enemy out of Xia Fei, so he was very respectful toward him.
Moreover, Xia Fei had advanced four levels in a month! His reputation as a genius had already spread throughout the Yu family, so Yu Sansui did not dare to be presumptuous. Instead, he wholeheartedly helped Xia Fei manage Roaring Tiger Park.
There was money to be made from helping others tame exotic beasts? Xia Fei was very happy.
If Xia Fei focused on cultivation, he would need to spend at least ten grade 2 Origin Crystals a day, and the consumption would only increase as his level increased. Furthermore, Furball was still young, so he would need a lot of energy to grow up quickly.
Meanwhile, Xia Fei did not have any other income aside from his pitifully low monthly salary. Even if he had a thousand grade 3 Origin Crystals lying around in his spatial ring, he would not dare to spend them recklessly. After all, there were still many things he needed to spend money on. If he wanted to return to the Alliance to visit Avrils, he would need to buy an expensive spatial compass and pay for spatial travel.
Ever since he saw the miraculous Liquid War Armor, Xia Fei had wanted to buy one, but even the basic model cost a hundred grade 3 Origin Crystals. It might seem like a lot of money, but it was actually not enough for Xia Fei to squander.
If he could earn money by helping others tame exotic beasts, it would be a pretty good deal. Though it was unlikely that he would become rich overnight, he would at least be able to cover Furball's food expenses, and there would even be a slight surplus, which could be considered an income.
Xia Fei nodded. "We should indeed charge a fee. What price do you think these people will be able to accept?"
Yu Sansui had been in the circle for a long time, after all, and he was familiar with the distribution of wealth in the family, so Xia Fei asked for his opinion first.
Lowering his head to think for a moment, Yu Sansui said, "There's a difference between the rich and the poor in the family. Most people who raise ordinary exotic beasts aren't rich, so they won't be able to afford it even if the price is high. Why don't we start with ten Origin Crystals and add one more for each level? Eleven grade 2 Origin Crystals for a grade 1 exotic beast, and twelve grade 2 Origin Crystals for a grade 2 exotic beast. That way, everyone will be able to afford it.
"We can't do that for a Beast King. Those who can afford to raise a Beast King can't be ordinary people, and they won't mind spending some money to tame it. I think we should start with a hundred grade 2 Origin Crystals and add ten more for each level."
Xia Fei also felt that the price was very reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
Sitting down in the room, Furball lay on Xia Fei's shoulder. One was a master of the Beast Spirit Codex, and the other was a Holy Beast that could roam the seas of stars. Just this aura alone was enough to scare the exotic beasts half to death.
Learning from Furball's roar, which had nearly wiped out the entire Roaring Tiger Park, Xia Fei repeatedly told Furball not to make a sound, afraid that he might cause some sort of murder.
It did not take long before Xia Fei's ring had an additional 137 grade 2 Origin Crystals. Adding the sixteen he had from before, he now had 153 grade 2 Origin Crystals and 1,000 grade 3 Origin Crystals.
One should not underestimate the profit of a hundred or so Origin Crystals. It must be known that Xia Fei's monthly salary was only fourteen, and he had thirty more as the supervisor of the Roaring Tiger Park. In less than an hour today, he had earned three months' worth of salary!
More importantly, this was not a one-time deal. The Yu family had a population of a million, and there were countless exotic beasts. Even if only a tenth of them needed Xia Fei's help to tame, it was still an incredible number. As the saying went, one could not count one's days.
After getting the crystals, Xia Fei gave two to each of his six subordinates, including Yu Sansui. Everyone had benefited, so naturally, no one had anything to say about it, and they all thanked Xia Fei profusely.
The next day, two more people came looking for Xia Fei with exotic beasts, and as time went by, Xia Fei's reputation for taming exotic beasts began to spread.
…
Xia Fei's new residence was located in the outskirts of the city. There were three bungalows in a row, and in the yard was a fiery-red begonia and a white pear tree. It was small but exquisite.
The robot Dou Dou busied himself for quite a while. This hardworking little fellow loved to do housework, keeping everything clean and bright. Perhaps it was because Avrils was not by his side, but Xia Fei felt that something was missing.
Xia Fei had cleaned up the room on the left and turned it into a training room. A black dagger was placed on the ground, and Xia Fei rubbed his chin as he examined it.
"The Blood Crystal seems to be getting colder and colder, completely different from before." Phantom furrowed his brows. "Sharp, wild, and extraordinary!"
Because this bloodthirsty dagger came from the Assassin Sect, Phantom praised it greatly, but he had forgotten that it was Xia Fei who had given the Blood Crystal a new meaning.
There was a faint red mark on the side of the dagger, seemingly indicating the progress of the Blood Crystal's growth.
"About a tenth," Phantom muttered. "Does that mean I'll have to kill nine more Demon Chrysalises before the Blood Crystal can be revived?"
Xia Fei replied, "Perhaps, but I won't touch those monsters so easily. Peacock Blue's sudden appearance last time was a stroke of luck, but I can't be sure about the next time. Even now, I still haven't found a way to control Peacock Blue, so I'll put the matter of the Blood Crystal's revival aside for now."
He took out three information storage devices from his spatial ring and a grade 3 Origin Crystal. Xia Fei took a deep breath.
These storage devices contained the Law of Energy Purification!
Energy Masters were the richest and most illustrious existences in the Law Realm!
With energy in hand, the world was mine!
Having energy meant having a limitless future. After all, anything done here required the support of energy!
A mysterious pattern began to gather in the seventh brain region, slowly taking shape.
Without anyone to guide him, he could only cross the river by feeling his way.
Xia Fei was prepared to try something new, to challenge himself, to advance toward becoming an Energy Master!
The entire Yu family had a population of a million, but the only Energy Master was Du Ba.
