Lantia brought all the money she had saved over the years with her.

Worried that it wouldn't be enough, she borrowed a lot of pocket money from her parents before leaving home and also borrowed a lot from her friends.

She searched every possible avenue for making money.

And as it turns out...

Her concerns were valid.

It's just a year's worth of beast fodder, yet it costs 2.4 billion.

This completely drained her!

But as long as the effects of top-grade food are real, then it's worth spending any amount of money!

Lu Yuan was surprised that Lantia would decide to buy top-grade food. He thought she would buy high-grade food like Bai Luoning!

Who would have thought that Landia was actually quite wealthy!

"A year's supply of top-grade food exclusively for bloodline members, please inspect."

Looking at the long string of numbers that appeared in his account, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile. He immediately spent two thousand points of divine power to exchange for a year's worth of top-grade food in the system shop.

"The optimal daily serving size has been packaged into many small bags. Just feed the child according to the prescribed portions," Lu Yuan instructed.

"Could we feed the Ice Deer a little more?" Landia asked tentatively.

Humans grow stronger the more they eat, so is it possible that the more beasts eat, the faster their strength increases?

If the Ice-Sparkling Deer finishes its food supply for the year ahead of schedule, will it reach the Earth Spirit level faster?

But Lu Yuan immediately shook his head to stop her idea.

"Eating more will indeed speed up the improvement, but the effect is not obvious. If you don't have enough money, I advise you not to waste it like this. Just eat the portions that are already prepared. You can't rush things!"

This conclusion was drawn from his own personal experience.

When he first obtained the Beast Taming Food, he had the same thought as Landia: he wished that Xiao Yi could finish a year's worth of food in a single day.

But as it turns out, the system won't let you exploit such loopholes.

Each serving of beast-taming food is portioned according to the optimal ratio for improvement. Although eating more will result in a slight improvement, it is so slight as to be negligible.

Therefore, he no longer relies solely on beast-taming food to improve his beast-taming strength.

"I understand, thank you, Manager Lu."

After listening to Lu Yuan's explanation, Lantia understood the reasoning and thanked him with a smile.

"Manager, we've finished everything, so we'll be leaving now!" Bai Luoning said with a smile.

"Go ahead, go ahead! Remember to introduce me to a couple more clients," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Of course! Don't worry!"

Bai Luoning winked playfully at Lu Yuan, then happily left with Landia in her arms.

Watching the two figures leave, Lu Yuan curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

The chain reaction has already begun, and there will definitely be a steady stream of customers coming to customize cubs.

"Next up is the auction! Hurry up and get the list of names and auction items ready!"

Lu Yuan went back to continue preparing the items needed for the auction.

And just then...

A deep voice called out to him.

"Are you Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a man in a black suit standing behind him.

His serious expression exuded authority without anger, and his sharp eyes were fixed on him like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey, making Lu Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I am Lu Yuan. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Duan Nanyi. I heard that you have pet cubs of the Heavenly Evolution level with divine beast bloodlines for sale, so I came here specifically to take a look."

As he spoke.

Duan Nanyi took out a gold-embossed business card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan took it and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow involuntarily.

"Nantian Group?"

He remembered that the headquarters of Nantian Group was in the capital.

The man in front of me looks extraordinary, and his business card says he is a general manager. He must have come all the way from the capital.

As if seeing through Lu Yuan's doubts, Duan Nanyi nodded slightly.

“Our group just happened to be planning to open a branch in Yandu, so I flew here personally.”

Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment after listening.

According to his investigation, the matter of the Divine Beast Auction House and the Divine Beast Pavilion is only circulating within Yandu for the time being, and should not have reached the capital. How did Duan Nanyi know about this?

He even came all the way from the capital. Even if the group wanted to open a branch in Yandu, he probably wouldn't need to come in person to visit, right?

Suddenly.

Lu Yuan seemed to have made a connection to something, and his gaze toward Duan Nanyi became deep and unfathomable.

A pet cub of the Heavenly Evolution level with divine beast bloodline...

Could this guy be one of the buyers who got scammed by the Divine Beast Shop before?

Jiang Yan won eight pet cubs at the auction, but after the transaction with the buyer, she found that she could not form a contract with them at all. She even came to the Divine Beast Pavilion and made a scene.

Later, Jiang Yan was scolded back by him, and the matter was dropped.

Now the buyer has come knocking on our door in person?

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan gave Duan Nanyi a deep look, then pretended not to know anything and asked as usual.

"So the customer wants to buy a pet cub this time, right? What are the specific requirements?"

Duan Nanyi paused for a moment, then said, "Potential and level must reach the Heavenly Evolution level or above, wind attribute talent, level must be at least Supreme level, and most importantly, one must possess the bloodline inheritance of a divine beast."

Upon hearing this request, Lu Yuan looked surprised.

Good heavens!

This is probably the most demanding customer he's ever encountered in all the time he's been running his pet shop!

Lu Yuan immediately led him to a private reception room and handed him a brochure for customized services.

"The pet cubs displayed and sold in the store are all of Earth Spirit level. If customers need a Celestial Evolution level cub, they can only bid at the auction or participate in our store's newly launched customization service."

"Oh? How do you mean by customization?"

Duan Nanyi raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued.

Having raised and trained beasts for over thirty years, this was the first time he had ever heard of customizable pet cubs.

"In addition to the cub's attribute types and the levels of each data, you can also choose the concentration of bloodline inherited by the cub."

Lu Yuan explained truthfully: "The cubs sold in the store have a bloodline concentration of one ten-thousandth by default. If customers want cubs with a purer bloodline, they can make a specific numerical request."

Upon hearing this, Duan Nanyi was completely shocked.

His slightly nonchalant expression became more serious.

"Did I hear that right? Bloodline concentration can be customized?!"

This is hardly the kind of pet breeding program!

It's probably better to just send them back to the drawing board and start all over again!
