Chapter 32: Market Pickup
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Students, the first semester of Year One is about to end. Although it's only been four months, you've all become true Beast Tamers. I'm proud of you."
"Starting from next semester, the school will ask you to be soldiers. Other than theoretical classes, there will also be combat classes. Moreover, the proportion of combat classes will be higher. I hope you can continue to work hard and strive to become an outstanding Beast Tamer!"
"Alright, that's all for today's class. Study hard and don't forget the final exam two days from tomorrow."
"After the exam, it'll be a month of winter vacation. As for the start of school, I'll send another notice to the class group."
After giving these instructions, the form teacher, Liu Yiting, packed up her textbooks and gave them some encouragement before walking out of the classroom.
"We can finally be free!"
The moment Liu Yiting left, many students could not help but cheer.
As students, there was nothing they liked better than the summer and winter holidays.
"Su Yi, do you have any plans for the winter break? My mother wants to enroll me in a Beast Tamer training class to train my various abilities so that I won't be unable to adapt next semester." Li Xinhao suddenly asked.
"I don't have any plans. I'll just meditate at home and try to break through to the Ordinary level as soon as possible."
Su Yi casually brushed him off.
"Break through to the ordinary level? Don't you dare think about it. As long as students like us can break through to the ordinary level before graduating from high school, it will already be very good. At that time, we can at least get into a secondary college."
"All the more reason we should try to meditate."
"Uh… okay, that makes sense."
Although he said that, Li Xinhao did not agree.
In fact, he was not the only one. Most of the students would apply for some training classes during the holidays. Some specialized in training pets, and some specialized in training Beast Tamers.
These days, there were countless people from teaching agencies handing out fliers outside the school gate.
However, Su Yi, who had dozens of combat experiences, looked down on these teaching institutions.
In his opinion, instead of studying in those so-called training classes for a month, he might as well go to the mystic realm to explore.
The next day, the final exam came as scheduled.
Since it was all theoretical knowledge, Su Yi was not worried at all. He finished the paper in no time.
In his opinion, the questions on these papers were too simple!
In short, after two days of exams, he had hardly encountered any questions that he could not answer.
If nothing went wrong, his results should be able to rank in the top five again!
"How lonely it is to be invincible."
Su Yi was in an exceptionally good mood when he walked out of the examination hall.
And not just because winter vacation had officially begun.
After the past few days of hard work, the Thorny Grass seemed to be showing signs of breaking through again!
Thorn Grass was already a five-star Apprentice. If it broke through again, it would be a six-star Apprentice. It had already fulfilled the conditions for demonization!
"I'll buy a Vegetation Essence Fruit tomorrow and look around the market to see if there's anything to pick up."
Su Yi muttered to himself.
He had two hundred thousand now. It wasn't much, but it was not little either. He could already buy a lot of things.
If he had extra money, he was even prepared to buy some Concentration Grass for himself to speed up his cultivation!
…
The next morning, Su Yi left his meditative state.
He had grown accustomed to replacing sleep with meditation.
Needless to say, after his meditation, he was clear-headed, energetic, and full of strength. The rest was far more effective than sleep.
"Mom, I have something to do. I need to go outside."
After washing up, Su Yi looked at the time and left eagerly.
"What's the matter? Eat your breakfast first."
Madam Jiang Xiaoxiu wanted to stop him.
"No, I'm good. I'll get something to eat outside later."
Su Yi's voice came from outside the house and then disappeared completely.
"That child!"
…
The Haitao Market was the largest market for Beast Tamers' merchandise in the city. Its scale was far superior to even the Beast Tamer Mall.
However, the goods in the Beast Taming Mall were directly sold, whereas the stalls in the Haitao Market were rented by third parties.
If Su Yi was willing, he could also rent a stall to sell goods.
Moreover, the stall fees could be paid daily. It was very free.
However, it was precisely because of this that many con men and stall owners changed places after every shot.
Even so, many Beast Tamers would still come here to stroll around and see if they could pick up any scraps.
"It's bigger than I thought."
Su Yi was surprised to see the bustling market in front of him.
There were many stalls here, selling everything. He took a casual look and saw many miscellaneous things.
There were strange stones, jade slips, metal blocks, and other miscellaneous items. There were also some things like secret treasures, spirit stones, pet eggs, and so on.
It was impossible to tell if these things were authentic or fake from the surface.
"It's time to show some real skill!"
Su Yi rubbed his palms together and eagerly entered treasure hunting mode.
Then, in the next moment, he was overwhelmed by a sea of notifications.
25 meters northeast, low-level secret treasure discovered!
25 meters to the northeast, an intermediate-level secret treasure has been discovered!
32 meters northwest, damaged secret treasure discovered!
…
Su Yi almost fainted from these hints.
"Alright, too many hints are equivalent to no hints. In such a Beast Tamer market, there are treasures everywhere. I still have to walk all the way."
Even as he said it, he followed the directions to the nearest stall.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man. He ignored him and continued playing with his phone.
Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations on this person, Su Yi was certain that this stall owner was definitely a Beast Tamer!
Like many stalls, this stall also had many strange things on display. It seemed like they all came from mystic realms.
However, when he saw the prices of these things, Su Yi was shocked.
Storage Ring
Category: Low-level storage treasure
Effect: Storage, with a space of 0.8 cubic meters.
Introduction: The most common secret treasure. Its storage space is pitifully small.
However, such a secret treasure was actually priced at 1.2 million!
In the Beast Taming Mall, storage treasures with one cubic meter of storage space only cost one million!
Did he really want to sell it?
He was clearly looking for trouble!
Other things were shockingly expensive.
Damaged Water Blessing Pendant
Category: Low-level medical secret treasure
Effect: Healing Water. When injected with spiritual energy, it can condense Healing Water (damaged and unusable).
Introduction: A very practical spiritual equipment. Unfortunately, it was damaged in a battle 300 years ago and abandoned by its owner.
And the price of this secret treasure was—five hundred thousand!
Oh my god, even a damaged treasure was priced at 500,000 yuan!
Su Yi was dumbfounded.
The stall owner seemed to sense his expression. He looked up and said impatiently.
"Are you buying it or not? These are all genuine secret treasures. It's just that they have been buried in the mystic realms for too long and have lost their ability, so you can't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations. As long as you spend 500,000 yuan to activate them at the Beast Tamer Association, they can be used. The prices I set are all very fair!"
