Chapter 8 A Little Expensive

After leaving the police station, Zhong Lingyue dragged Chu Bai into a coffee shop near her home.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Of course I know! Who made us have a tacit understanding!"

"Hehe." Chu Bai looked at Zhong Lingyue with a smile.

"Actually, I don't need you to take action today. I just want to see how many tricks the second-generation ancestor of the Lin family has played, otherwise they wouldn't even dare to take me away from the store even if they were too brave!"

"I know, but I also want to share some of the burden for brother Chu Bai." Zhong Lingyue lowered her head, and lightly sipped the coffee in her hand.

He obviously forgot to add sugar, but somehow he felt a sweet taste spread in his mouth.

Chu Bai suddenly suppressed his smile, looked at Zhong Lingyue for a while, and sighed: ".Silly girl!"

"You are stupid!"

Zhong Lingyue's angry appearance really made Chu Bai laugh.

The depression in his chest was swept away. Based on yesterday's situation, he had vaguely guessed that Zhong Lingyue seemed to be hiding something from him, but Chu Bai subconsciously didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

He believed that if it was what he should know, Zhong Lingyue would never hide anything from him, she was a girl who could afford it.

And those things that she shouldn't let herself know, even if she really asked, she would just use words to fool her as before.

Chu Bai hated the feeling of being fooled, especially the feeling of being fooled by Zhong Lingyue.

"By the way!" Putting a piece of sugar in the coffee cup, Zhong Lingyue suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Bai as if thinking of something: "It seems that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the two of your family are going back to China. The time will be very lively, and my brother also said that he will go to them to discuss it."

"However, most of them will end up in a fiasco!"

Taking advantage of Chu Bai's astonishment, Zhong Lingyue quickly added another sentence.

"My brother and the others are going back to China, why didn't I hear the news?" Chu Bai frowned, recalling the recent chat records with his family, and indeed no one mentioned this matter.

Chu Bai's two elder brothers, as the youngest eighth-rank imperial pet masters in the entire Huaxia Kingdom, were sent to a certain imperial pet master university in a western country half a year ago as national youth representatives for study exchanges.

Because there are many star beasts in western countries that have never appeared in eastern countries, it is also a rare opportunity for the two of them to train and learn
However, they had been away for half a year, and during this period they rarely reported to their families that they were safe. Therefore, Chu Bai didn't know much about their situation. It was inevitable to feel a little sudden when he heard the news that they were returning to China.

"Where did you get this news, can it be wrong?" Chu Bai asked.

Zhong Lingyue was also a little dumbfounded. Didn't Chu Bai know this news?So shouldn't she have revealed it in advance?
"Well, I just heard my parents mention it last night." Zhong Lingyue weakly lowered her head and sipped a cup of coffee. Well, the taste seemed to be sweeter.

Chu Bai scratched his head: "Okay, no matter if it's true or not, we can see the real chapter in these two days anyway."

The two chatted for a long time before Chu Bai remembered his shop, quickly said a few exit words, stopped the car in the coffee shop and left.

in the coffee shop.

Zhong Lingyue's eyes were locked on Chu Bai's body until he got into the taxi, and then slowly took out his phone.

"Miss, I have taught those boys a lesson. They didn't dare to touch anything in Master Chu's shop."

The prestige message was sent 10 minutes ago, and the avatar is all black, and even the nickname has only one word "black", which makes people confused.

But after Zhong Lingyue saw this message, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Clean up your tail, brother Chu Bai doesn't like me meddling in his affairs, don't let brother Chu Bai discover any clues."

"understand!"

It's almost a second over there.

It was as if the person on the other side of the phone had been waiting in front of the phone for Zhong Lingyue's reply.

When Chu Bai returned to the store, there was a seal on the door. He tore it off without asking, opened the door and walked into the store.

Various goods are neatly placed on the shelves. There are two pots of green plants at the entrance, a water dispenser on the right, a single sofa on the left, and a small table with magazines.
Everything is as tidy as when he left
Chu Bai went to the counter and sat down, called the little white wolf out of the summoning space, and placed it on the counter.

Although most of the pets usually stay in the summoning space, it is best for these cubs that need to be taken care of by the pet master to be kept in the summoning space as little as possible.

Studies have shown that the talent of a pet cub is like a blank sheet of paper. During the cub period, the cultivation method and degree of care of the pet master can directly determine the future growth limit of the pet.

Among other things, it will always be easier for a pet beast with a high growth limit to break through the bloodline than a pet beast with a low growth limit, and it will use less materials, and the price paid by the pet master will be lower.

Looking at the little guy's restless sleeping appearance, Chu Bai suddenly realized that although he had tried the Star Beast Identification Guide, he had never used this ability on the little white wolf.

So, he checked the situation of the little white wolf:
Albino Blue Wind Wolf

attribute: wind
Strength: less than one star

Qualification: One Star Bloodline

"It turns out that this little guy is Qingfeng Wolf?!"

Chu Bai was a little surprised. He had seen the Qingfeng wolf before, and it belonged to the type that even among the one-star beasts did not have much desire to attack.

Some zoos even raise them, but the body hair of Qingfeng wolf should be blue, and the hair color of adult Qingfeng wolf is dark blue, almost close to black.

But this little guy's hair is rather white, so Chu Bai never thought in that direction.

Now it seems that the prefix of albino is mostly at fault. Speaking of which, there are many special cases of albino animals in ordinary animals. I think the albino in star beasts is also the same principle.

Because the little guy is still a cub, the skill column is temporarily vacant. It only lists a lot of skills that the Qingfeng wolf may learn, but there are no skills that have already been learned.

The evolution column is somewhat beyond Chu Bai's expectation. There are more than 30 evolutionary branches of Qingfeng Wolf!

Chu Bai guessed that this should be related to Qingfenglang's bloodline aptitude, the plasticity of one-star bloodline is too strong, basically any direction of cultivation can be tried!

It's just that the lower the pet beast's aptitude, the higher the price the pet master will pay on the evolutionary path to a high-level pet beast.

Assuming that the targets are also eight-star beasts, one pet beast evolves from a seven-star beast, while the other pet beast evolves from a one-star beast. The price-to-performance gap in the middle can be imagined.

While Chu Bai was studying the evolution route of the Qingfeng wolf one by one, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Ding!
"Xiao Bai, your brother will return to China tomorrow and your dad has ordered dinner at Xianzhou Tower. You can come over too."

"No outsiders!" Chu Bai's mother added.

"Really want to come back?"

Chu Bai was amazed at how well-informed and accurate Zhong Lingyue’s news was, and then posted an emoji of [Get there on time] in the group. Although Chu Bai avoids dinners with outsiders if he can, he usually prefers to have dinner with his family. Rarely absent.

After chatting with his mother for a while, Chu Bai felt sleepy, and since the system didn't have strict requirements for him to be open, he closed the store and went home.

This home does not refer to the Chu family's ancestral house, but the house that Chu Bai and Fa Xiao rented outside.

The house had two bedrooms and one living room, and the location was average, but it was much better than those in the southern suburbs.

Chu Bai and Fa Xiao usually do part-time jobs, so it is not a problem to bear the rent together, not to mention that the family will give Chu Bai part of the living expenses from time to time. The small life is still considered affluent.

Back in the rental house, Chu Bai didn't see Fang Quan.

When the summer vacation just started, the two of them signed up for their summer jobs, and Chu Bai quit because of the system, and even if he didn't have a part-time job, he could still rely on the little living expenses at home.

But Fang Quan can't!
He comes from an ordinary family, and his parents are also working class. In addition, Fang Quan, like the previous Chu Bai, is an ordinary person without the talent of a pet master. It is difficult to find a job, and the future is full of various uncertainties. Don't dare to relax for a moment!
Chu Bai was lying on the bed, and his movements made the whole bed creak.

But listening to this familiar sound, Chu Bai's sleepiness actually deepened. He had not been idle all night last night, and when he came back early this morning and met Lin Tianlu again, Chu Bai was extremely sleepy now.

Within 5 minutes of lying on the bed, there was already a sweet snoring sound.

When Chu Bai opened his eyes from the bed, the sky outside the window had completely dimmed, the street lamp shone in through the curtains, and half of the bed was shrouded in dim light.

But Chu Bai didn't get up immediately, he was stunned.

After the last task was completed, the system remained silent. The completed tasks disappeared, and no new tasks were assigned. Even when Chu Bai faced the two pet beasts, the system did not release a temporary task for him to protect himself.

But now, those few lines of fine print have been updated!

Task: Let the albino Qingfeng wolf break through to the three-star bloodline!
Time limit: Within one month!

Way: Please use "Star Beast Identification Guidebook" (fragment) and Star Energy Mall correctly.
Reward: The number of lucky draws for three-star imperial pet master +1
Punishment: Ancient Punishment Soul Penetration Number +1
It's coming! It's coming!
It was still the familiar formula, and Chu Bai savored the punishment content for the Nth time, the feeling that just relying on the literal sense could make one's hairs stand up, it really made him dare not compliment it.

And this task is outrageous.

It takes at least three months for the Qingfeng wolf to pass through the cub stage, but now the system has to break through the blood of this little guy to the three-star level within one month.

"Star Power Mall!"

Chu Bai turned on this newly unlocked function almost without hope.

The illusory screen unfolded in front of Chu Bai, and at the same time, the explanation about this function also appeared in Chu Bai's mind——

The star energy mall, just like the literal meaning, uses the star energy to exchange for goods.

The products in the mall are refreshed from time to time, and the product content also includes treasures of all levels!
Of course, these treasures need to be exchanged through star power, so how do star power come from?

Very simple, krypton gold!

The exchange ratio of star energy and money is 1:100!

To put it simply, Chu Bai received a reward of 10 yuan from the system for the temporary mission before. Even though he had recharged all these rewards into the system, his star power had just reached [-] at this time.

And one thousand star energy value can hardly do anything in the Star Energy Mall.

Oh no!
Chu Bai slowly moved his gaze to the product in the corner:

Product: Xiaofeng Fruit X100
Function: The pet food of wind-type pets, long-term consumption has a high probability of improving the talent and spirituality of pets, and has a small probability of improving the affinity of pets for wind elements
Price: 1000 stars
At least one thousand stars can still buy a pet food
It's just a little "expensive"!
On average, a Sao Feng Fruit costs 1000 RMB. For many veteran pet masters, just by improving the elemental affinity, even if the price increases tenfold, there will probably be many people who want to buy it.

The profession of imperial pet master not only burns money, but also makes money quickly.

But for Chu Bai, this price is enough to discourage him!

Squeak!

The door to the room was opened, and the light from the living room squeezed in along the crack of the door. At the same time, there was a figure, Fang Quan, who came in.
