Looking at Chow Tai Fook's smiling face, Wang Ming felt an urge to punch him.

Wang Ming only thought about it. These NPCs were all protected by Crimson Moon City. If he really attacked this person, he was afraid he would be attacked by the guards of Crimson Moon City.

They might even be blacklisted by Scarlet Moon City, making it impossible for them to enter Scarlet Moon City again.

Although activating the auction house was expensive, it was nothing to Wang Ming, and the remote service function was also very useful.

"Manager Zhou, here are 3 gold coins. I want to activate Super VIP."

"Okay, we're happy to assist you."

Zhou Dafu smiled and accepted the gold coins. Then, a pen and an account book appeared in his hand. After writing something down, Wang Ming received a message from the system.

"System notification: You have activated the auction house system. As you are a Super VIP of the auction house, all functions of the auction house system have been successfully activated. You can list any item at your own discretion. After a successful auction, the auction house will charge a 10% handling fee."

"Sir, the auction house system has been activated for you. Do you need any other services?"

"Nothing else is needed, but there is something I would like to ask Manager Zhou."

"Hehe, please tell me, sir."

"So, you just said I'm some kind of Descendant, what does 'Descendant' mean?"

"Haha, so that's what it is. Actually, 'Descendant' is a term used by us natives of the Yuan Domain to refer to people who do not belong to our Yuan Domain."

"What? You know we're not from this world?"

"Yes, a month ago, our Yuan Domain's Empress proclaimed to the world that a group of humans who do not belong to our Yuan Domain would come to our world to help us slay demons and monsters, and asked us to do our utmost to help you."

"So, when you said you wanted to activate the system, I learned your identity."

Oh, I see. This must be part of the game's design. Hehe, it's quite interesting.

After thanking Chow Tai Fook, Wang Ming opened the auction house system and listed the equipment dropped by the Forest Wolf King he had killed in the newbie village.

"System prompt: You are listing equipment - Wolf Fang Dagger. Please select fixed price mode or auction mode."

"Fixed price? Auction? Why are there two modes?"

Wang Ming then chose the fixed price, and the system popped up a window to set the fixed price. Wang Ming then entered 10 gold coins.

"System notification: You have listed the equipment - Wolf Fang Dagger, price 10 gold coins."

Wang Ming found the wolf fang dagger he had just listed, canceled its sale, and then listed it again, selecting the auction mode.

The system popped up a settings interface again, which included two settings: the starting bid price and the bid increment settings.

"So that's what fixed price and auction mean."

This fixed price means the seller sets a price, and the buyer can buy it directly if they like it, emphasizing efficiency.

Auctions, on the other hand, involve the seller setting a reserve price. Even if a buyer is interested, they cannot purchase the item directly but can only participate in the auction. After the auction period (24 hours) ends, the player with the highest bid wins the item. This method often results in a higher transaction price, which is more favorable to the seller.

Wang Ming looked at the items in his backpack, then set a reasonable price for the Wolf Fang Dagger, Wolf Fang Pendant, and Skill Book - Throat Slit, and put them up for auction in the auction house according to the bidding mode.

As for the remaining 2-star equipment, it was priced slightly below market value and listed on the auction house at a fixed price.

After doing all this, Wang Ming went to the pet store.

"Sir, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting my Crimson Moon City?"

"Shopkeeper, you have a discerning eye. I am indeed new to Crimson Moon City and would like to see some pets. I wonder if you could introduce some to me?"

"no problem."

"Sir, in our Yuan Domain, pets are indispensable partners in subduing demons and monsters. Some are physical attack type, some are magical attack type, some are defensive type, and there is also a special type, the riding type."

"Riding type? Could it be a mount?"

"Yes, that's a fair way to understand it. Riding pets not only possess the characteristics of other pets and fight alongside their owners, but they can also be ridden, making them relatively rare pets in our Yuan Domain."

Wang Ming nodded. "Please continue, shopkeeper."

"Hehe, okay."

"In addition to being classified, pets also have different grades, qualities, and levels of understanding."

"The grades, from lowest to highest, are: Common, Good, Fine, Top Grade, Sacred Beast, Immortal Beast, Divine Beast, and the Super Divine Beast that has long since disappeared from the Yuan Domain."

"The higher the grade, the stronger the pet's overall abilities."

"A pet's aptitude refers to its five basic attributes: strength, agility, intelligence, spirit, and stamina, ranging from 1 star to 10 stars, and is directly linked to the pet's grade."

"For example, the basic attributes of ordinary pets range from 1 star to 3 stars, good pets from 2 stars to 4 stars, and so on. Divine beasts range from 7 stars to 9 stars, while super divine beasts have a maximum of 10 stars for all attributes."

"When a pet levels up, its base attribute aptitude value becomes the growth value of each attribute. For example, if a pet's strength aptitude is 3 stars, then it will gain 3 points of strength after leveling up."

"And what about comprehension?" Wang Ming asked, listening with great interest.

"Hehe, comprehension is extremely important. The grades of comprehension, from low to high, are ordinary, good, excellent, perfect, and unparalleled!"

"The higher one's comprehension, the stronger the quality of the skills one can comprehend."

"For example, a pet with excellent comprehension can learn the highest level A-grade intermediate skills."

"Pets with perfect comprehension can learn the highest SS-level advanced skills, while those with unparalleled aptitude have a certain chance of learning SSS-level advanced skills."

"Of course, regardless of a pet's aptitude or understanding, it can acquire advanced skills by learning from pet skill books."

"However, high-level pet skill books are extremely rare. I don't think anyone would be willing to give a high-level pet skill book to a pet with low aptitude to learn."

"Because if a pet with low comprehension learns a high-level skill by force, it can only learn low-level skills when it comes to learning other skills. Doing so is a real waste."

"Hehe, sir, take a look at my pet, Dudu Bear. It's our shop's prized possession." Seeing Wang Ming's interest in the pet, the pet shop owner quickly began promoting his pet.

"Let me see the store's prized possession."

"Uh, that's it? And you call this the store's prized possession? What am I expecting?" Wang Ming was speechless when he looked at the attributes of the Silly Bear.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any rideable pets here?"

Seeing that Wang Ming wasn't interested in Dudu Bear, the shopkeeper knew that Wang Ming hadn't taken a liking to it and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But when he heard Wang Ming ask about riding pets, he perked up again.

"Oh, a riding pet? Hehe, you've come at the right time, sir. I actually have one here."
