"Fifty million?!"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Didn't you just say thirty million? How did it suddenly increase to twenty million?!"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "This is the price after the discount, of course it's different."
"..."
Zhou Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Good heavens!
Reverse discount, right?
But he genuinely wanted the Sacred Firebird, especially after personally experiencing its power, he was even more reluctant to miss it.
"Manager, I know I just did something wrong. I apologize again. Could you give me a discount since I'm so sincere in admitting my mistake?"
"Okay! How about I give you an even bigger discount?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary!"
He dared not let Lu Yuan offer him any more discounts.
If the first discount increased from 30 million to 50 million, wouldn't the second discount increase from 50 million to 100 million?!
I dare not accept it!
Zhou Yan took out his wallet and counted the money. With his current savings and credit cards, he should be able to scrape together 50 million.
"Manager, I'll take the Sacred Firebird. Please swipe your card."
Zhou Yan tremblingly handed over the dozen or so bank cards from his wallet, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.
Why can't we just be good people?
He insisted on courting disaster, and now he's lost 20 million!
Fortunately, Lu Yuan didn't stoop to his level and push things too far; otherwise, let alone the Sacred Firebird, he might not even have been able to save his own life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan felt a little better.
Lu Yuan's lips twitched slightly as he took the large handful of bank cards Zhou Yan handed him.
Why does this scene seem so familiar?
So these guys each have a dozen or so credit cards?
While mentally complaining, Lu Yuan's hands didn't stop, and he swiped all the cards in just over ten minutes.
"Alright, do you need me to help you with the contract?"
After returning all the cards to Zhou Yan, Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
"need!"
Zhou Yan nodded repeatedly.
Having experienced the power of the Sacred Firebird, he now feels a burning pain all over his body whenever he thinks of it, so he dares not make a contract with it himself.
"Let's begin now."
Lu Yuan found it somewhat amusing and immediately began assisting him with the contract.
Zhou Yan carefully held the sacred firebird in his arms, looking both scared and excited, which made Zheng Meng unable to help but chuckle.
A few minutes later.
The contract ceremony concluded successfully, but Zhou Yan remained standing there, looking dazed.
"Was that... the memory inheritance of the Sacred Firebird?"
During the signing of the contract, some unfamiliar images flashed through his mind.
A three-legged golden bird, its body shimmering with dazzling light, rose from the tree and flew from east to west in the vast universe, like the rising and setting sun. All creatures that dared to approach it were burned to ashes by the scorching flames, while the golden light remained forever.
These scenes were extremely brief, yet they deeply shocked Zhou Yan!
He had never heard of a mythical beast called the Golden Crow, which is why he was dismissive when Zheng Meng introduced it to him.
Although the testing equipment later confirmed that Zheng Meng was not lying, in the end, he had no concept of the power of the Golden Crow and naturally did not have a deep feeling about it.
But now.
After witnessing the memory inheritance of the Sacred Firebird firsthand, he was deeply shocked by the power of the Golden Crow!
He could even clearly sense the scorching and dangerous flames within the Holy Firebird through the connection of the contract!
"The Sacred Firebird only possesses one ten-thousandth of the Golden Crow's bloodline, but even so, it is already far stronger than ordinary beast tamers! If I nurture it properly, it might even be able to break through to the Earth Spirit level!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel excited.
"By the way, store manager!" He turned to Lu Yuan, "Could you help me prepare the special food for the Sacred Firebird?"
The fact that this young shopkeeper was able to raise the Sacred Firebird to be so powerful, even beyond reason, means that the beast food he prepared must be extraordinary!
"Of course, but do you still have money?" Lu Yuan said with a half-smile.
"Forehead……"
Zhou Yan was speechless.
He spent all his money on the Olympic torch and now he really has no money left.
A moment later.
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and took off the watch on his wrist.
"Manager, this watch is the most valuable thing I own! I'll pawn it with you. Could you please arrange some food for me? I'll come back with the money to exchange it tomorrow!"
Zhou Yan felt extremely distressed.
This watch cost him a full 30 million back then, but now, in order to cultivate the Sacred Firebird, he has no choice but to use it as collateral.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, not expecting Zhou Yan to go to such lengths, even using his watch as collateral.
After examining it carefully, Lu Yuan said, "Judging from the value of this watch, you have two types of pet food to choose from."
"Two kinds? Which two kinds?" Zhou Yan pressed.
“They are intermediate-grade food and advanced-grade food,” Lu Yuan explained. “Intermediate-grade food costs 24 million a year, while advanced-grade food costs 240 million a year. The effects are different, but I can guarantee that after a year of consistent consumption, the Sacred Firebird’s level will at least break through to the Earth Spirit level.”
"Earth Spirit level?!"
Zhou Yan immediately cried out in surprise.
He was just dreaming of getting the Sacred Firebird to reach the Earth Spirit level, and now the shopkeeper is saying that as long as he keeps feeding it food for a year, he can achieve that?!
Is there really such an unbelievable thing?
Before he could catch his breath, Lu Yuan continued his explanation.
"If it continues to eat high-grade food for a year, the Sacred Firebird will not only break through to the Earth Spirit level, but its talent will also be upgraded to the Supreme level, and its bloodline purity will increase by more than three-thousandths."
!!
"Buy it! Please give me the high-grade food!"
Zhou Yan was initially hesitant, but after hearing what Lu Yuan said, he immediately slammed his hand on the table and made a decision.
Only a fool wouldn't buy pet food that can help beasts evolve their talent level and even improve their bloodline purity!
Seeing that Zhou Yan had taken the bait, Lu Yuan curled the corners of his mouth.
“Okay! High-grade food costs 240 million a year. Considering your lack of funds, I'll give you one month's worth, 20 million.”
Zhou Yan: "..."
Good heavens, I'm just speechless!
The store manager has a firm grasp on the amount of funds he has. This watch is worth 20 million, and the beast-taming food is also worth 20 million.
No wonder he became the manager of a store at such a young age!
Despite inwardly complaining, Zhou Yan still happily picked up the pet food and chuckled to himself.
When he gets back, he'll ask his dad for money and try to buy a year's supply. Then he can become a level Earth Spirit Beast Tamer!
After watching the silly-looking Zhou Yan leave, Mu Ruxing returned from outside.
"You're back? How's the auction house? Will it be open for business as usual the day after tomorrow?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
Mu Ruxing, however, looked very serious.
"I was just about to say that, but something went wrong at the auction house!"
