Chapter 70: 70

“Hahaha! You must be the one praying for me! Thank you, Taylor!” Locke shouted as he looked at the Beast Eggs littered on the ground.

In truth, ever since his first encounter with Taylor, Locke had noticed her strange ability!

Everyone she formed relationships with would be blessed with good fortune!

In a few hours, Locke had already harvested at least a hundred Beast Eggs.

“Just inspecting these eggs would take me a whole day of effort when I return home!” Perhaps, this was what they referred to as ‘suffering from success’.

However, the ‘greedy’ Locke had no intention to stop. After transforming Infinite Fire Element into a mace, he then intercepted the drakes that were charging towards him.

“What… What’s going on?” The boss, who had already arrived at the monitoring room, looked at the scene in disbelief!

“Boss! It’s one thing to kill that many drakes, but it’s another thing to obtain that many Beast Eggs!”

“There’s nothing we can do about it! According to the laws of the Federation, as long as they’ve paid the fees, the Beastmaster’s spoils in the training grounds are rightfully theirs!”

Although those were the words that came from his mouth, his heart was already bleeding!

‘My god! If I could obtain Beast Eggs that easily, I’ll be the richest man in this world!’

Their eyes were glued to the screen until five o’clock in the morning, until the sun appeared in the horizon!

Even though he was stepping on a mountain-like pile of drake corpses, Locke was still somewhat unsatisfied.

“176 Beast Eggs! What a huge profit!”

Lil’ White had informed Locke of his gains..

After walking out of the training ground in satisfaction, Locke found a short and fat middle-aged man smiling at him obsequiously.

“Greetings, respected Beastmaster. I’m the owner of this training ground…” As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it over.

Locke looked at it. It had the name ‘Dickens’ written on it.

“Hmm! I’m very satisfied with your training grounds. I’ll come again next time…”

Dickens smiled bitterly as he thought to himself, ‘Again? It wasn’t easy to capture a few hundred drakes, but you killed them all in one night! How am I supposed to replenish my stock in such a short time?’

However, the wily old man did not show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction towards Locke. Instead, he said, “Sir, I’d like to invite you to become a member of my training grounds!”

“Oh? What are the benefits? How much is the membership fee?” Although Locke had been blessed with a windfall of wealth, Locke had not forgotten the meticulous habits he had developed since he was young.

“In the future, you can call me in advance, and I will purchase the Daemons you’ve requested to train with in advance ” Dickens rubbed his hands with a greedy expression on his face.

“As for the membership fee… five magic beast eggs are enough…”

Locke had a mysterious smile on his face as he sized up the fat man. After a while, he responded, “Did you happen to spot my harvest last night?”

“No! No! I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Dickens’ acting was very good, and Locke was impressed.

Moreover, Locke had also understood what Dickens was hinting at…

He wanted the eggs as a form of hush money!

After all, everyone knew how much Beast Eggs were worth, and if people were to catch wind of the hundred or so Beast Eggs in his dimensional inventory…

Then there was no need to wait for the White family’s people to come. The other Beastmasters would target him!

However, looking at Dickens’ plump face and wary expression, Locke doubted that he would cause any trouble. As such, Locke did not deem him a threat.

“Just speak your mind! What’s the point of beating around the bush?” After spending a whole night without water, Locke was parched. He walked to the vending machine and just as he was about to insert a coin…

The speedy Dickens rushed forward and handed two bottles of high-end coffee to Locke.

“Sir, here’s what I’m thinking of! I’ll specifically prepare the Daemon you want in the future, and all I ask is for you to pay my company five Beast Eggs every year! Naturally, this is a secret between the both of us! I can sign a confidentiality contract with you, and if I were to expose this secret, you’re free to sue me in court any time you want!”

“Don’t underestimate me. While I won’t give you the details, as long as you are interested in a Daemon, I will definitely think of a way to get it for you!”

Locke’s interest was piqued by the sensible fatty.

After all, the other party was a professional Daemon merchant. As long as Dickens was able to obtain the Daemon he desired, Locke felt that it was a good deal!

Moreover, Dickens could very well locate the Daemons that dropped materials that no shop was able to procure.

Upon this thought, Locke felt that Dickens’ service was worth the five Beast Eggs he requested.

“Alright! I’ll give you an address, and if you send the membership agreement over, I’ll hand you the five Beast Eggs! After all, it’s better for us to be careful about such things…”

After getting the conditions he wanted, Dickens’s eyes lit up with joy.

“Esteemed customer, you’re so young, yet so cautious. Not many young’uns have these traits nowadays! Amazing!”

‘This guy is quite good at flattering.’

“Not only that, if there’s any new goods or news, I’d like you to inform me immediately!”

“Of course!” Dickens tidied up his bow tie and bowed to his customer.

“Alright! Keep in touch, Mr. Dickens!”

After saying that, Locke summoned his Wings of the Sky and sped towards the academy.

…

After returning to his dorm and closing the curtains, Locke inspected his dorm a few times. After ensuring that Diana’s owls were not present, Locke locked his door and began to examine the Beast Eggs in his living room.

As usual, he used his hand to inspect the egg.

The System’s interface immediately appeared:

[ Battle Beast Name: Carnivorous Rabbit ]

[ Battle Beast Grade: Green Quality, Normal Rank ]

[ Hidden Evolution Route 2: Magic-based evolution. Learns ‘Camouflage’ next stage . As long as it is fighting in a forest, its strength will increase by 100% . The highest grade it can evolve to is Orange quality! ]

“Its abilities are too bad…” Locke shook his head. Locke was no longer interested in any Battle Beast that was lower rank than rose gold rank. This was especially true for plain Battle Beasts.

Even with the System’s help, the Carnivorous Rabbit was just too lackluster.
