Chapter 11 Mina's Suspected Lucky Draw
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Mina opened the lid of the black box.
The next second, she felt a dazzling red light in front of her, which blurred her vision for a moment.
At the same time, a buzzing sound filled my mind, and my ears seemed to go deaf for a moment.
When she came to her senses, she heard people whispering, "Sigh! This girl wasted ten mid-grade spirit stones again, opening nothing!"
"Hehe! I knew it! It's not that easy to find a bargain here. Look at this egg, it looks exactly like a first-class wild duck egg from the riverbank."
When it hatches, it'll probably just be a wild duck that quacks!
"If it really is a wild duck, that would be great. It's at least a first-tier spirit beast. If I feed it a few more spirit beast pills, it might even advance to the next tier!"
"So what if it advances to a higher level? Do you expect a wild duck to reach level five and carry its master all over the sky? Hahaha!"
"I've tried, but I can't sense any life force in him even with my divine sense. He might just be a dead egg!"
...
Amidst the cacophony of voices, Mina felt as if she had regained her sight and hearing.
She couldn't help but wonder if her feeling just now was a hallucination.
But in broad daylight, how could she possibly have such a hallucination?
Even if you're just fantasizing, you should be imagining a beautiful, cute, fluffy creature, not a blinding red light.
Something's wrong with this egg!
Thinking of this, she ignored the chatter of the crowd and hugged the black box, along with the bluish-gray spirit beast egg inside that resembled a large duck egg, into her arms.
"My lady, please don't listen to those people's nonsense. Although we can't determine the breed of this egg yet, it definitely can't be a wild duck egg."
I can guarantee with the reputation of our spirit beast shop that we would never try to fool our customers with something as low-grade as wild duck eggs.
If you take it back and take good care of it, it will surely hatch into a beautiful, fluffy mythical beast or bird in the future.
By the way, would you like to buy a constant temperature incubator for your future spirit pet? It's really not expensive, only five mid-grade spirit stones. Then, if you add two more mid-grade spirit stones, we'll throw in a spirit beast bag for free.
"In other shops, a spirit beast pouch would cost at least five mid-grade spirit stones on its own. You've gotten a great deal!" the shopkeeper continued, relentlessly promoting the product.
"Oh? You only sell spirit beast bags for two mid-grade spirit stones here? Then please give me four!" Mina said, her eyes darting around.
"Oh dear! No, that won't do. Our spirit beast pouches aren't sold at this price on their own. You only get this discount when you buy them together with a constant temperature incubator!" The shopkeeper quickly shook his head.
“But I just spent ten mid-grade spirit stones to buy one of your wild duck eggs. If I go out and spread the word about this, believe me, you fraudsters won’t be able to sell a single one in the future!” Mina said sternly.
Thinking of the mockery she had just received, she couldn't help but want to lash out, and she deeply regretted spending the huge sum of ten mid-grade spirit stones only to end up with nothing!
"Oh dear! Fairy, you are beautiful and kind-hearted, you would never make things difficult for us, would you?"
"Please don't worry, let me check with the boss. If he agrees, I'll upgrade your discount from one spirit beast bag to four."
The waiter was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead. He hurriedly ran to the back room to report to the boss, and then rushed back in a short while.
He smiled broadly and said, "Fairy, our boss said that you are the destined person of our store, so he agreed to give you a rock-bottom price. You can pay ten mid-grade spirit stones to buy four spirit beast bags, and we will also give you a constant temperature incubator as a gift."
Everyone: Wasn't the purchase of the constant temperature incubator supposed to come with a free spirit beast bag? How come it's reversed?
In any case, this trip to the spirit beast shop wasn't too bad. I spent a total of twenty mid-grade spirit stones and got four spirit beast bags, plus a constant temperature incubator.
Oh, right, there's also something that looks like a wild duck egg.
As they left the spirit beast shop, Mina casually tossed two spirit beast bags to Achen, then smiled and said to him, "You've saved money on your spirit beast bags. Now let's follow Physician Bo to the pill shop and see if we can snag a bargain!"
"Finding a bargain? Aunt Mina, you call that wild duck egg finding a bargain?" Achen said disdainfully.
“You don’t know, I was just pretending to be wronged to fool them!” Mina said with a gleam in her eyes, and then she told her story.
"What? A blinding red light? Aunt Mina, are you sure that's not an illusion?" Ah Chen was a little incredulous.
"I believe Mina isn't hallucinating. Even when she's drunk, she's perfectly rational."
Once, one of her suitors went to great lengths to get her drunk, planning to trick her into going to a hotel he had booked in advance on the way home.
And guess what? She tricked him into a deserted alleyway and beat him until his face was a bloody mess!
"Think about it, she's so shrewd even when she's drunk. How could she possibly be hallucinating out of thin air in broad daylight without even touching a drop of alcohol?" Matt said.
"Could it be an illusion set up by their spirit beast shop specifically for customers who open black boxes?" Bo Yiyan said.
"That's impossible. I placed a mental marker in her brain, which will be triggered if any other mental intrusion occurs."
"But just now in the store, the mental marker didn't react at all," Matt said.
He made this spiritual mark because he and Mina were the only two subordinates who could get close to the adult.
Mina's ability level is relatively low, and Matt is worried that other psychic beings might control Mina, which could then be detrimental to the adults.
"So, Aunt Mina, you really got a bargain?" Achen asked in surprise.
"Yes, otherwise why would I be so generous and spend another ten mid-grade spirit stones at their store?" Mina said with a smug smile.
Achen: Are you sure that's consumption, and not forcing people to have a fire sale at rock-bottom prices?
The four of them excitedly entered the medicine shop, and at a glance, they saw dozens of different kinds of medicines on the shelves.
Rejuvenation Pill, Mind-Concentrating Pill, Qi-Gathering Pill, Bone-Tempering Pill, Hemostatic Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill...
"Wow! There are so many kinds of pills here!" Ah Chen exclaimed.
"I wonder if their hemostatic pills are as effective as Uncle Bo's hemostatic medicine?" Achen asked again.
"Tch! You're obviously an ignorant low-level martial artist! The elixirs in our Misty Heaven Realm are made by using a variety of spiritual herbs and undergoing repeated refining by alchemy masters."
"Your hemostatic medicine made from some common medicinal herbs is lucky to be even 10% as effective as our hemostatic pills!" the shop assistant scoffed.
The shop assistant's dismissive expression infuriated Ah Chen, who immediately handed over a bottle of hemostatic medicine, saying:
"Do you dare to have a contest right here and now? If my Uncle Bo's hemostatic medicine is more than 70% as effective as your hemostatic pill, then you'll apologize to my Uncle Bo in front of everyone!"
The shop assistant was also enraged by his arrogant attitude, and directly took a bottle of hemostatic pills from the counter and slammed it on the counter, saying:
"Let's have a contest! If you lose, kneel down and kowtow, or you won't leave here alive today!"
