In a short period of time, the needle fully entered the cat's body.
At this moment, there was a golden light and an illusory golden chain that appeared on the cat's body, wrapped around her as if to declare that her was a slave that had been subjugated.
At the same time, Aldric felt a special connection between his mind and the cat's mind, as if he was able to directly give orders to the cat and she could not refuse his orders at all.
No, it wasn't just as if. He was actually able to do it.
When the golden light and the illusory chain disappeared, the cat calmed down again.
She even gave Aldric a gentle look.
And this also let Aldric know how weak her condition was.
If she was forced to fight, she would probably suffer many injuries quickly.
'Fortunately, I still have quite a lot of Honey of Life. A few liters should be able to restore this cat's condition,' he thought.
Honey of Life had the function of temporarily increasing strength and treating various kinds of physical injuries.
It could be used by all living beings no matter how high their power level was.
However, the stronger they were, the more Honey of Life was needed.
"Congratulations Mr. William, you are now the master of the Slith Cat, a monster that can threaten all Junior Magicians," said the manager to Aldric so that everyone looked at Aldric with some fear.
In White Wind City, the existence of Senior Magician was very rare, the 10th Stage Junior Magician was considered the peam of power. A person with an extremely powerful level 10 monster was naturally considered extremely threatening.
Unfortunately, not many could buy such a monster because the price was too high.
Afterwards, the manager and Aldric walked up to the large-bodied Polar Ice Bear, surprising people again as it turned out that Aldric hadn't just bought one monster.
Although the bear was not as strong as the cat, it was still a very strong monster among level 10.
It had a defense that was very difficult to break through.
The manager went through the same process with the bear so that it would recognize Aldric as its master.
Meanwhile, in a certain corner of the monster market, there were men in their 30s standing side by side.
They both had thin bodies, pale white skin, like they rarely ate.
It was just that, their faint aura sometimes frightened people passing by the side.
"I bet that boy is also a player," said one of the men.
He had long curly hair, giving a gloomy impression to his appearance.
The man by his side had very messy short hair, making people think he had a nest of lice in his hair.
Since they were talking about players, they were obviously also players.
With their appearance, they were without a doubt the kind of gamers who completely immersed themselves in the gaming world.
Their original appearance carried over into this world. If only they didn't have such a terrifying aura, they were practically no different from the neets who were easy to bully.
In the real world, they were easy to bully, but here they could take on the role of villains.
Their names are unknown, they only use nicknames.
The long-haired man called himself the Demon Horse, while the other man called himself the Dead Fish.
In White Wind City, they were a few of the top players.
"Right, he seems to be a rich man's son. Hmph, he really does have so many Level 10 Monster Cores. Even if all the players in the city collected their Monster Cores, there might not be as many as his," Dead Fish replied.
"This really sucks, we're very skilled gamers. Unfortunately, those rich people easily surpass us by relying on their money," he continued.
"It's also because too many of us sell those items to those rich people, aren't you too, Dead Fish?" replied the Demon Horse.
"What else can I do? I need money to buy a new virtual headset or I won't be able to play anymore," Dead Fish replied.
"Stop saying nonsense, we'd better think of a strategy to catch that boy now," he added.
"No need for a strategy, he'll definitely go out of town to take care of those two monsters. After all, that bear is too big, it's not suitable to be taken care of within the city. We can directly attack him when he's outside the city. If he's weak, then this will be easy. However, if he is also at the 10th Stage, we need to put in extra effort and use our treasure to restrain the two monsters," said Demon Horse.
These two weren't just playing the game in the usual way. They actually became robbers, robbing rich NPCs or rich players for treasures.
That was their way of advancing quickly.
In fact, the two of them now only needed a few more ingredients and they could form the Genesis Core, becoming a Senior Magician.
This time, Aldric was their target because he was the most conspicuous one in this monster market.
For them, successfully robbing him would allow them to accumulate more wealth than they had so far.
Meanwhile, the cat and bear were finally released from their cages.
The manager let them follow Aldric.
With his control over their minds, they naturally did not go berserk.
"By the way, Mr. Alan, how much does the card to cage the monster cost?" Aldric then asked about the cards while glancing at the few people who had the cards.
Up close, he could see that inside the cards, the caged monsters could actually still move around.
They were like a home for them.
"You mean the Monster Seal Card, do you want it, Mr. William?" asked Alan with a faint smile.
He scanned Aldric's eyes as if thinking, 'hmph, this boy must be tricking me by pretending to have no money left.'
He was actually a bit annoyed, but this was a trade. He lost the negotiation with the buyer, he could only blame himself.
"Yes, state the price," Aldric replied.
"One card costs five Level 10 Monster Cores. It's not like a Storage Artifact because it can hold living creatures even if it's only one living creature for each card, so the price is far above Storage Artifacts which are considered not so valuable," Alan replied.
"And this price is fixed, it can't go down anymore," he added.
His smile grew wider.
This card actually brought him a good profit, so he was very happy every time it was sold.
Of course, what made it expensive wasn't the difficulty of making it.
Although it was difficult, the capital was less than one Level 10 Monster Core.
However, not many could make it, only people with certain skills.
With only ten Level 10 Monster Cores left, Aldric found it hard to let them go.
However, he thought the card was very important so that he wouldn't be followed by his two monsters, he wanted two cards.
Despite feeling heavy, he finally decided to buy, spending all his Monster Cores so that the elderly manager smiled so widely.
He was too happy to the point where he personally escorted Aldric out of the monster market.
Aldric sighed as he left.
Almost all of his wealth had been used up, this gave him a miserable feeling.
'Mm...'
As he continued walking, he felt that something was wrong.
This made him glance back occasionally.
'Am I being followed?'
He wondered with a strange expression without stopping his steps.
The Demon Horse and Dead Fish were indeed following him from afar.
Seeing him occasionally glance back, the two looked at each other.
"He sensed our presence," said the Demon Horse.
"It seems that he is indeed strong, I am now convinced that he is at the 10th Stage of Junior Magician," said the Dead Fish.
It was not easy to reach that stage, so anyone who reached it needed to be wary.
"If his talent turns out to be high, then we might not succeed," said the Demon Horse.
"Hmph, he's a big fish, we should give it a try no matter what. After all, we can escape easily and cover our identities," replied the Dead Fish.
After saying that, he began to cover his body with a cloak and put on a black-colored mask.
The cloak he wore was exactly the same as the one bought by Aldric.
The Demon Horse did the same. Only the mask was white. The two then followed Aldric again.
At this time, Aldric actually went straight out of town.
Although he did have that plan, he did it early because he wanted to see who the stalkers following him were.
He didn't want to be bothered with them now because they could mess up his plans later.
With two extremely powerful monsters by his side, he naturally wasn't worried in the slightest.
As he walked, he sent Honey of Life to each of the cards he placed inside his clothing pouch.
The two monsters were able to instantly swallow the Honey of Life from within the cards.
As it turned out, Aldric needed to give the cat ten liters while the bear seven liters, a total of 17 liters.
With just that amount, they could recover to their prime.
If they were released, they would immediately go on a rampage.
Not only leaving the city, Aldric even entered a sizable forest.
There were quite a lot of monsters like wolves.
They were especially wild at night because they slept during the day.
Their roars echoed endlessly.
Aldric could sense their presence from afar, so he could avoid them, going to a location without monsters.
He then stopped beside a large tree, staring at the dark back.
Although the moon was shining brightly, it was difficult for the light to enter the forest because of the many branches and leaves that blocked it.
"Are you going to continue hiding?" he said in a soft but distant voice.
Relying on his strength, he was able to expand the range of his voice.
"Hahaha, so you do know." The sound of laughter echoed from a distance before two figures in robes appeared, one wearing a white mask and the other wearing a black mask.
Aldric instantly felt strange seeing them as he had also bought a cloak and mask with such disguises.
They jumped several times before stopping about twenty meters in front of him.
Such a distance was very close to their level.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Aldric asked them.
"Why? To rob you, of course," replied the figure with the black mask.
"If you don't want any trouble, hand over your Storage Artifact and two monsters to us," added the Demon Horse wearing a white mask.
He showed his aura which was blue like lightning.
It began to transform into bolts of lightning that surrounded his body.
There was such an intense pressure from him that the trees trembled.
Even the monsters were terrified of him.
The Dead Fish also began to show his power.
He could control the ground, make the ground rise up and become countless spears.
"In White Wind City, we are one of the strongest players. With our cooperation, no one can escape us. If you don't want to die, give up everything you have," he said.
"They're robbing people again."
At the same time, there were whispers in the distance.
This forest was visited by many players hunting monsters, there were always passersby in every area. Therefore, there were quite a few players who saw them from a distance.
Their reputation had clearly spread. Other players instantly recognized them.
"It seems like they really want to be robbers in this game. Fortunately they're very good at playing and managed to surpass the others," said one of the players.
"Hmph, too bad we failed to unmask them last time we surrounded them. Otherwise, I'd really be looking for them in the real world. They robbed me without restraint yesterday." Someone snorted vindictively.
"We'd better not underestimate that boy, I can sense dangerous power from him." A player with detection ability said.
"Is he also a 10th Stage Junior Magician?" He was immediately asked by the other players.
"Yes, and I think he's really very strong."
"Ohhh, this is surprising. Is he from another city?"
"If he really is that strong, these two guys will be unlucky this time. I really want to see them suffer."
"..."
At this moment, Aldric was still calm as he looked at the two people even though they had revealed their strength.
That there were people trying to rob him was completely beyond his expectations.
It seemed that this was indeed a world without rules. Showing wealth could easily bring trouble.
"Boy, aren't you afraid?" The Demon Horse couldn't help but ask as Aldric still looked calm.
"I'm afraid you two are just looking for trouble coming here," Aldric replied casually.
He was only talking about the facts because he was completely sure they wouldn't be able to fight him.
"Hahahah..." The Dead Fish burst out laughing at that.
"You must be confident because you have two very strong level 10 monsters, yet they are in a weakened state right now. And we have this artifact," he said.
He took out something similar to a box but made of brown iron. It instantly emitted light which then turned into a large transparent cube.
The cube covered an area the size of a football field and was up to fifty meters high.
To Aldric's surprise, the two cards in the pockets of his clothes suddenly flew into the air by themselves, exiting the cube before falling to the ground.
"This cube will confine anyone we want inside and send out anyone we don't want. Anyone below Senior Magician will not be able to get out of this cube, and we have prepared energy that can last up to five minutes," the Dead Fish said again.
