BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41 - 34: Buying Materials to Prepare for Snowy and Feicui ‘s Breakthrough
Li Sheng sneered: “I’m really looking forward to shocking Huanhai Academy and Celestial Academy… They’ll think you’re just a rookie, only for you to catch them off guard, leaving them embarrassed!”
“As a student who has been cultivating for just a few days, overthrowing a group of geniuses, the thought of it is exciting, hahaha!”
Chen Fan laughed: “Teacher, you’re even more shameless than me.”
Snowy kept nodding its head.
Feicui cackled.
“Of course… Get lost!”
Li Sheng glared at Chen Fan then said: “You had reached the first-grade realm before enrollment, I’ll go to the Director of Instruction later on to help you apply for some scholarship subsidies.”
“Every Grade 3 senior who has reached the first-grade realm could apply for the scholarship, the amount ranges from 30,000 to 80,000… monthly”. “I’ll see if I can help you apply for a scholarship at the same level as Chu Xuan.”
“Over the years, you’re the first to come ‘from outside’ and manage to break through to first-grade realm before the start of semester.”
“Most students, would only possibly break through to the first-grade realm if they are at least senior high graduates, or even at the Beastmaster University stage!”
Chen Fan’s eyes brightened: “80,000 a month? That’s great!”
Li Sheng: “Hmm, the school definitely invests heavily in cultivating students with great talent.”
“Also, the Academy’s Weapon Storage closes at 10 PM. You should pick a weapon from there later.”
“The weapons in the academy can be bought with contribution points or union coins.”
“Although you don’t have contribution points yet, the academy has given you 1000 union coins, which should be enough to buy a decent weapon.”
Chen Fan immediately smiled: “Teacher, how much do you think I can sell my One-horned Demon Pig and those Crystal Cores for? Would it be around 100,000 union coins?”
Li Sheng squinted his eyes: “Around 66,000.”
Chen Fan was stunned: “That small an amount? Teacher, I have 26 level 2
Crystal Cores and 8 level 3 Crystal Cores in there.”
Li Sheng frowned: “Hey, kid, would I, your teacher, scam you?” “Level 1 Crystal Cores, 68 of them, are roughly 500 union coins each;”
“Level 2 Crystal Cores are around 800 each;”
“Level 3 Crystal Cores are about 1,400 each..
“Crystal Cores of the same level monster could vary greatly in price. For example, a rare level 3 Thunder Attribute Monster core is currently on the market for about 5,000 union coins each and it’s not necessarily available.”
“The Monster Cores you have are from rather common monsters in Black Ant Forest, their prices just won’t go high.”
“If you were to go to those secret realms and fight high-species-level monsters, the price of a Crystal Core of the same combat power level could multiply several times.”
“Is that so…” Chen Fan was a bit depressed: “What about the One-Horned Demon Pig corpse?”
“Still hoping to profit from the One-horned Demon Pig corpse? The most valuable thing on a monster is its Crystal Core. The One-horned Demon Pig corpse could have some value, but there’s only one, after all… These Crystal Cores I mentioned earlier, they need to collect a service fee, and the service fee alone is roughly equal to the price of one One-horned Demon Pig corpse.”
“You don’t have to sigh… What about the other students who came with you? At most, they only have a few Level 1 Iron-Eating Black Ant Cores, who’s as rich as you?”
“Could you advance me the money? Not all of it, just 50,000 should do.”
“Tsk, I am your head teacher, also the one who introduced you to War God Academy, don’t you trust me?”
“Teacher, don’t get me wrong. I’m just too cash-strapped. I need to improve my
Guardian Beast’s combat power.”
“Chen Fan, I have to criticize you for this. Your Guardian Beast has just signed a contract, and you have just arrived at the school. You haven’t learned the relevant beast cultivation knowledge yet, you can’t just fumble around!”
“I’m not just fumbling around, I learned a lot about Beast-raising in the past two days …”
“Rubbish! You think you can learn professional knowledge by just reading a few pieces of information online? If that’s the case, why do we need schools? Remember not to mess around, if you damage your Guardian Beast later, don’t blame me for not warning you! Start studying properly after the school starts in a few days.”
Li Sheng scolded Chen Fan.
However, after he had berated Chen Fan, he still transferred 66,000 union coins to Chen Fan.
Added to the 60,000 given by Fang Qingqing previously, and the 1000 given by the school, Chen Fan now has 127 ,ooo union coins.
After sending Li Sheng away, Chen Fan immediately opened his “Computer” and found the biggest Guardian Beast shopping website in Tang Country.
Requirements for Snowy’s breakthrough to Level 4: 10kg of Level 3 or above
Thunder attribute monster meat, 3 Level 4 Thunder attribute Monster Cores,
3kg of 50-year-old Thunder Urgent Wood (or 5 50-year-old Purple Thunder Dragon Fruits), and 25 energy points. Requirements for Feicui’s breakthrough to Level 3: 10kg of Explosive Bee Honey, 15kg of Purple Berries, 15kg of Level 3 or above demon beast meat, 15kg of Purple Blood Tree Leaves, northwest wind, intensive training, and 15 energy points.
After registering, Chen Fan found these materials, added them to the shopping cart one by one and then calculated …
The materials for Snowy’s breakthrough to Level 4 will cost 35,000 union coins;
The materials needed for Feicui’s breakthrough to Level 3 will cost 8,300 union coins.
The system’s method is like refining pills in Xianxia fantasy novels … no, in reality it’s much easier than refining pills in those novels.
It uses the most common materials.
And the method is so simple and convenient.
Saving time, effort, and money.
Many Beast Cultivation companies or studios generally start the price of raising the combat power level of Guardian Beasts within Level 5 at more than 200,000 union coins.
The time spent usually takes two to three months.
And it’s not always 100% successful.
Because of the high price, Beastmasters with little money usually have to cultivate their Guardian Beasts themselves.
Beast-raising studios cultivate Guardian Beasts, usually using some developed medicine liquids and equipment, combined with various related attribute monster meat and herbal medicine, and then through high-intensity training to achieve their goals.
The biggest advantage of Beastmasters cultivating their own beasts is their Beastmaster’s Space …
Because in the Beastmaster’s Space, with the nurturing of the Beastmaster’s soul power and some inexplicable functions, the growth rate of the Guardian
Beast would be faster than in the outside world, and easier to breakthrough the Species Level.
But the speed of Beastmasters cultivating their own beasts definitely can’t compare to professional institutions.
Therefore, various Beast Cultivation companies and Beast-raising Studios are extremely popular.
The status of Beast Cultivators is also very high, just like the Alchemists in novels.
Some medicine liquids that can improve the success rate of beast cultivation are also very popular in the market and are highly sought after by many Beastmasters.
After clearing the total cost, Chen Fan is a little eager to start gathering materials for Snowy and Feicui.
After buying these materials, there would still be over 80,000 union coins left
Chen Fan also checked the materials required for Snowy’s species level upgrade.
The materials needed for Snowy to evolve from low-level Awakened to moderate-level Awakened are: 10kg of fresh fish of Level 2 (Including Level 2), a Monster Crystal Nucleus of Thunder attribute monster of Level 2 or above, 3 fish crystal nuclei of Level 2 (Including Level 2) or above, and 40 energy points.
These materials would cost 3,000 union coins!
There’s a pile of Level 2 fish crystal nuclei still in Chen Fan’s Beastmaster’s Space.
However, the required energy is significantly higher than the increase in the combat power level.
Also, the operating method seems to be much more complicated.
And it takes a bit more time.
Without hesitation, Chen Fan added all the materials required for upgrading Snowy and Feicui’s species level to his shopping cart.
Suddenly…
A drop of saliva slid down from his head.
“Hm?”
Chen Fan laughed in disbelief: “Feicui, stop drooling over the stuff on my computer screen!”
Feicui pointed at the Explosive Bee Honey and Purple Berries on the computer screen: “Cheep, Cheep cheep!”
“Buy! I’m buying these things for you right now.” Chen Fan declared confidently: “I’ll make sure you are well fed.”
Snowy also tugged at Chen Fan’s clothes, its gem-like big eyes looking at Chen
Fan.
“Already bought, how could I possibly forget about yours!”
“I bought a bunch for both of you, put them in the Beastmaster’s Space, and eat whenever you want.”
So, it was decided…First, buy the materials, then go outside to look for a large house and shop!
Once the materials arrive, he would help Snowy and Feicui raise their combat power level and species level!
One and a half months after the semester starts, there will be arena matches among the three top academies…
Perhaps by then, he could have some fun with Beastmasters at the first-level second-heaven or third-heaven?
After shopping, Chen Fan closed his “computer”, and headed straight toward the cafeteria, asking directions along the way.
The school cafeteria is free for Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists.
But they don’t allow Guardian Beasts in…
This really pissed Chen Fan off.
If I brought a dinosaur, it’s understandable if you don’t let it in… it could easily eat the school out of business.
But if I bring a cat and a slime, you still won’t let them in?
How much can a cat and a slime eat?
But rules are rules, so Chen Fan had no choice but to send Snowy and Feicui back to the Beastmaster’s Space.
When he finished eating and was about to leave, Chen Fan swiped two roasted chickens and a bag of fruit.
The cafeteria auntie was shocked…
In all her years, she had never seen such a shameless character.
A Beastmaster actually stooping to such a level!
How much could two roasted chickens and a bag of fruit cost?
As a Beastmaster, aren’t you embarrassed?
Chen Fan was not embarrassed at all.
He walked out of the cafeteria, carrying roasted chicken and fruit, under the watchful eyes of a crowd, and headed straight for the Academy’s Weapon Storage.
The hall of the weapon storage was crowded with people.
New students were choosing various weapons in front of machines similar to subway ticket vending machines.
The giant screens of the machines displayed various types of swords, spears, and halberds, all with eye-catching special effects.
Some long halberds were surrounded by flames, some short swords emitted a cold blue aura…
Each weapon was accompanied by a description of its material and attributes, with its price tagged.
Chen Fan found a machine that no one else was using.
“Knife!”
Almost without hesitation, he tapped on the word “knife” on the screen.
A variety of unique long and short knives then appeared on the screen.
As the “guts” of all weapons, a knife is renowned for its bold, heroic, and fierce style.
It moves straightforward, swings wide open and closed, unstoppable!
The most common action in the use of a knife is chopping.
It exhibits a sense of ferocity and resolution, emphasizing a forceful style that seeks to break all laws with one powerful blow, a style that pierces the heavens with a single knife!
Chen Fan glanced at the row of long knives on the screen, chose a dark long knife, and then looked at the row of material options at the top.
From low to high, they were Iron Marrow, Mysterious Iron, Secret Silver, Pure Gold, Geng Essence, Fire Melting Crystal, Meteoric Iron…
Chen Fan read the description and found out that it doesn’t mean the weapon is made of Iron Marrow or Mysterious Iron, but rather, these materials are added to the weapon.
Chen Fan directly tapped on Geng Essence.
The first long knife that appeared was 590,000 union coins.
No way!
Chen Fan had to go back and choose Mysterious Iron instead.
50,000 union coins.
“This one it is.”
Chen Fan immediately placed an order and paid with the smart wristwatch on his wrist.
The operation was very simple and smooth.
Chen Fan also clicked on the armor to check it out.
Armor with strong defense was frighteningly expensive.
No money, no heroes, staring at the weapons and sighing.
Let’s earn money first, he couldn’t even afford a pair of bracers…
Chen Fan stopped a male student next to him: “Fellow student, where do I go to get the weapon after buying it?”
The male student looked at the roasted chicken in Chen Fan’s hand, laughed dumbfoundedly, then pointed towards the southeast of the hall: “Go over there, you will see a big sign, scan your identity code and the weapon you purchased will be delivered.”
“Thank you!” Chen Fan expressed his gratitude and was ready to leave immediately.
Suddenly, a female voice came from behind: “Chen Fan? Are you here to pick out weapons too?”
