With Chen Qian leading the way, the three of them stepped into the arena called "Dongri".
The foyer has an extremely high-tech metallic style, and you can faintly hear the roars of beasts coming from the depths.
At the counter next to us, a freshman from Jiangzhong Military Academy was checking out, carrying a small metal cage containing a "Golden Dye".
The reason why I recognized him at a glance was because he was wearing a brand new military uniform, just like the one he had before.
The middle-aged man accompanying the boy, who appeared to be the boy's father, was dressed in civilian clothes but had a straight back and an imposing military bearing, most likely a high-ranking officer.
Jiangzhong Military Academy reopened this year, and the news has sparked heated discussions online. It is said that in addition to top students in the college entrance examination, many students at Jiangzhong Military Academy are geniuses from military families.
Shen Qian had heard Yu Shousi mention this before.
Jin Ran is also a feline demon beast, and its level is one level higher than Yin Ran. At its peak, it even has a slight hope of breaking through the Mountain and Sea realm, making it a relatively rare demon beast.
Shen Qian carefully observed the gold dye in the young man's hand. Its bloodline was extremely pure and its eyes were bright. He couldn't help but nod slightly.
The monsters sold at this Dongri Colosseum are indeed much stronger than those in the shops next door, so it seems I haven't come to the wrong place.
The middle-aged man seemed to notice Shen Qian's gaze and turned to look at him. Shen Qian smiled back, and the middle-aged man nodded in return.
"Welcome to Dongri Colosseum! I'm Mika, a sales representative. It's a pleasure to serve you!"
A sweet voice interrupted Shen Qian's thoughts. Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, a woman dressed in slightly seductive attire and with a hot figure stood in front of Shen Qian.
The other person's gaze swept over Shen Qian's entire body in a subtle but rapid manner, and then glanced at Dao Jiu behind Shen Qian, whose aura, though restrained, was still extremely oppressive. The smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.
Shen Qian didn't notice the other party's little gestures, and simply nodded, "I'd like to see the demonic beasts you sell."
"Okay, this way please, sir." Meijia said, and moved closer without making a sound, as if she wanted to take Chen Qian's hand directly.
Fortunately, Wan Ning, who was already on guard, stepped forward earlier and blocked Mei Jia.
Meijia's smile remained unchanged as she led the way, guiding Chen Qian on a tour.
"Have you visited the Monster Market before? Is there anything you're particularly interested in?"
"No, this is my first time here." Shen Qian shook his head. "Just looking around."
"Judging from the guest's accent, they don't seem to be from the Jiangzhong area?" Meijia asked with a smile.
"Yes, from the southwest."
At this moment, the group had entered the area marked "Taming Monsters," where countless iron cages were displayed. Chen Qian observed the monsters in those cages while casually replying.
"Judging from your age, you must be a freshman here, right?" Meijia covered her mouth and laughed. "Then you've come to the right place! We offer discounts for freshmen!"
"Hmm... are the highest-ranking monsters here only U-level?"
Shen Qian had no intention of chatting with the other party; he simply looked around and then frowned before asking a question.
The golden dye in that boy's hand was at least a T-grade item. Surely such a big store wouldn't only have one golden dye, or Chen Qian would be too disappointed.
"Of course not, the high-level demonic beasts are all in another area. Please follow me."
After Mika was overjoyed, she led the way while saying something into her headset.
Shen Qian glanced at her with a slightly strange look, but didn't pay much attention.
The three of them were soon led by Meijia to another area, which was divided into VIP reception rooms.
After entering one of the reception rooms, Mika invited the three of them to sit down and then clapped her hands.
Click!
The wall in front of me rotated, revealing a transparent glass panel.
The mechanism turned, and a full-metal cage appeared outside the glass wall, while the electronic screen next to it displayed information about the monster.
"This is a gold-dyed cub that has reached the T-level growth level. The one you saw in the lobby earlier wasn't even as good as this one. If you pay today, I can offer you a 10% discount!"
Inside the cage lay a golden-dyed cub, its entire body shimmering with light. Its dark eyes glanced at the three of them briefly before closing again, appearing extremely quiet.
Shen Qian carefully observed the golden-dyed cub and was actually quite tempted.
Judging from its appearance alone, this golden-dyed beast has no other colors, and its bloodline is absolutely pure. If properly nurtured, it has a good chance of breaking through the Mountain and Sea realms.
Just as Shen Qian was about to ask the price, Dao Jiu nudged him and whispered, "This Golden Dye... has a problem."
Shen Qian narrowed his eyes, remaining outwardly calm, but he used his spiritual power to examine the golden dye again.
With his mental power, Shen Qian sensed it.
This golden-dyed creature has very weak vitality, and it is declining at a slow but constant rate.
...It won't live much longer.
"What's the selling price?" Shen Qian asked, looking up.
"Seven million six hundred and sixty thousand, but with a discount and rounding down, you can take it away for only six million eight hundred thousand!"
Meijia said enthusiastically.
"Oh, are there any others?"
Shen Qian sneered inwardly. The T-level monsters commonly found on the market were only worth five or six million. The so-called discount was a complete joke.
Not to mention, a dead Kim Ran is actually only worth the price of a corpse.
"ah?"
Meijia clearly hadn't expected Shen Qian's words to change so quickly. After a moment of surprise, she quickly recovered and smiled, "The guest doesn't seem to like Kinzome? How about this one?"
