Chapter 336

Chapter 336

Daisy felt a bit dizzy; the recent introduction of movable type printing had already given her a tremendous shock, and even the two subsequent beast pets couldn’t bring the princess back to her senses.

She silently marveled at the prowess of the beast pet shop, which had introduced two groundbreaking technologies at two exhibitions that could truly change the world.

Before she could fully digest the intricacies of movable type printing, Lorant presented her with an even greater surprise: ‘chemical fertilizer.’

As a noble girl who could recognize durum wheat at first glance, Daisy was clearly not one of those who only knew about frivolous pursuits. She had a deep understanding of crops and seemed to have studied related subjects.

Thus, as she listened to Lorant’s introduction, her entire body trembled slightly.

Doubling the crop yield! What did that mean?

Those bloated fools might not understand, but Daisy knew all too well.

With this miraculous fertilizer, given some time, Daisy was confident she could even double the population of her kingdom!

This also meant that the number of practitioners of magic would surge during this period!

Daisy and Lorant shared a similar perspective; she placed great importance on ordinary people, not just to portray herself as a princess who empathized with her subjects, but more importantly, Daisy saw the connection between ordinary people and practitioners of magic!

To have more practitioners of magic, a larger number of ordinary people was a must!

Daisy’s body trembled with excitement, her gaze at Lorant was so intense it was unmistakable.

However, before Lorant could respond, the envious knight by his side was already displeased.

He knew that Daisy had once considered Lorant a suitable marriage prospect, which made the knight very unhappy, feeling as though his prized possession was under threat.

So, upon noticing Daisy staring at Lorant for a long time without looking away, Lancelot discreetly repositioned himself to block Daisy’s view of Lorant.

Daisy: "?"

She moved to the side, unwilling to miss even a moment of Lorant’s presentation.

But as she moved, Lancelot followed suit.

Positioned at the edge of the crowd, Daisy had more room to move than Lancelot, who stood next to Lorant.

After being blocked by the knight’s back for the third time, even Daisy, despite her usual perceptiveness, understood what was happening.

She pursed her lips and ceased her futile struggle with the petulant knight, quietly lamenting her previous consideration of Lancelot as a suitable marriage partner.

She had been too inexperienced and naive at that time!

This childish, jealous, and inconsiderate fellow was no different from the nobles she loathed!

This guy!

How had she not noticed before how vexing and petty he could be!

A man of Lorant’s caliber shouldn’t be associated with someone like him!

Daisy thought angrily, that jealous knight was not worthy of the shopkeeper, who was so excellent, caring deeply for the common folk with such elegance!

In a place completely unnoticed by Lorant, the knight had won a ‘shopkeeper defense battle,’ effectively thwarting others’ envious gazes towards his shopkeeper.

The fertilizer exhibition hall, to be honest, didn’t hold much attraction for the majority of the guests.

Soon, apart from Daisy and her companions, the others quickly finished touring the entire exhibition hall and began idly chatting.

Seeing this, Lorant sighed silently, not pressing the issue, and led everyone to the next exhibition hall.

The next exhibition hall was not only the largest on the second floor but also the most unique.

Lorant had specifically invited several magicians to create a mini lake in the center of this hall.

Two Floating Giant Ducks, born just two days ago, were leisurely paddling their webbed feet, pushing balls through the water.

Despite being newly born and still small, the Floating Giant Ducks seemed a bit cramped in the indoor space. However, the two little ones were quite well-behaved and didn’t stir up any mischief as long as they had plenty of toys.

Upon seeing the Floating Giant Ducks, the previously bored guests instantly became excited.

These large creatures had been the 'new favorites' of the pet shop since winter.

With the Floating Giant Duck docks now complete, the first fleet had already begun operating smoothly.

Due to the limited number of Floating Giant Ducks, the route only ran about once a week and currently served six cities. It was far from connecting the entire empire via the Holy Shield River, let alone its smaller tributaries.

But everyone had already seen the remarkable potential of the Floating Giant Duck route.

The benefits these large creatures brought to the cities were clearly visible.

Labor forces were rapidly exchanged between cities, and cities began to consider how they could complement each other through material exchange.

What was plentiful in City A might be scarce in City B, and before, only the most daring merchants would risk transporting these goods between cities.

But now, with such a safe water route, trade between cities had suddenly become frequent.

If economic reports from this period were released, people would be surprised to find that each city connected by the Floating Giant Ducks had experienced a significant economic leap in a very short time.

This was evident to everyone.

People could also see that those who built the Floating Giant Duck docks for the pet shop had gone from anxious about their initial investments to now beaming with joy every day.

No need to say more; anyone who wasn’t a fool could see that what initially seemed like a money-losing venture actually had quite a bit of profit.

In this regard, the pet shop was an endless source of wealth for these people. Any pet they introduced could generate economic value beyond imagination.

So, when they saw these economically impressive pets, most people were thrilled.

It was unclear whether they were seeing two little ducks playing with balls or two giant ducks made of pure gold.

The staff responsible for this section were surrounded, but they were well-prepared and remained calm, easily answering the crowd's questions.

They laid out the pet shop's future plans for the Floating Giant Duck route to everyone.

Typically, these would be classified as business plans and not casually shared.

But the case with the Floating Giant Ducks was different. Even if Lorant disclosed detailed plans down to the smallest detail, it wouldn’t matter.

After all, the Floating Giant Duck route depended entirely on the Floating Giant Ducks; without them, everything else was just talk.

On the Floating Giant Duck route, Blue Star was the undisputed monopoly.

So, upon seeing that the future Floating Giant Duck route would not only have more routes covering the entire Holy Shield River and its five or six tributaries but also simultaneously handle cargo and passenger transport, with occasional luxury cruises, the guests could only look on with envy, their eyes red with desire.

Whether it's the potential influence of luxury cruise ships or the even more formidable economic benefits brought by long-distance voyages across diverse regions, people can sense the immense potential of future Floating Giant Duck routes.

The number of people drooling over these little ducks naturally surged.

However, as long as Blue Star adamantly refuses to accept investments and collaborations from others, this lucrative opportunity will remain completely out of their reach.

The Beast Pet Shop is no longer the small store that had to share its profits to seek protection. Blue Star is fully capable of keeping all the profits from the Floating Giant Ducks, leaving nothing for others.

Lorant no longer cares much about minor profits. He prefers to expand his network widely, in case he needs rare materials in the future and must rely on his partners for assistance.

After letting a few young children climb onto the backs of the Floating Giant Ducks and ride around, shouting and laughing, Lorant led the group forward.

The next exhibition hall featured the Meat Mountain, a beast pet so ugly that it made everyone who saw it for the first time pause in their tracks.

By now, the concept of beast pets has become a part of people's daily lives. Even when encountering an unfamiliar beast, as long as Blue Star labels it a beast pet, people's resistance and aversion to it diminish significantly.

This is partly because people understand that beast pets and beasts are entirely different; beast pets would never harm humans without reason.

As long as one doesn't make any insulting or hostile moves, these creatures are humans' best friends.

Lorant also believes it's because the beast pets he has showcased so far are either cute or handsome in appearance. Even the somewhat ugly Devouring Frogs, strictly speaking, still have a certain dignity.

Thus, their appearance is distinctly different from the majority of beasts, which look haphazardly shaped and exceptionally fierce.

After all, humans are visual creatures.

Good-looking people have always enjoyed preferential treatment since birth, and beast pets are no different.

Currently, the most popular beast pets in the Beast Pet Shop aren't the Glassy Ice Flame Dogs or the Windbreaking Horses. Judging by the sales of beast pet badges, the Holy Light Peacock far outsells other beast pets.

Recently, the Lightwing Butterfly badges have been catching up quickly.

Lorant can't say for sure that the popularity of these two beast pets is solely due to their strength, especially since the Lightwing Butterfly's true abilities are still in question.

Without the strength to protect oneself, a pretty face can only bring trouble.

But from Lorant's perspective, without the strength to protect oneself, lacking a pretty face only makes suffering more ordinary.

The source of suffering isn't one's appearance but the lack of strength.

From the perspective of beast pets, the previous ones were all beautiful, but the Meat Mountain is different—it's truly ugly.

It's very, very, very ugly!

Lorant had to emphasize this repeatedly to convey his impression of this beast pet.

Even its importance couldn't stop Lorant from thinking it's really hard to look at.

Because of this little one's appearance, many guests' expressions became uncontrollable upon seeing it.

Indeed, this beast pet has an aggressive look, more akin to a beast than the generally gentle beast pets.

The mix of savagery and grotesqueness makes it hard to feel any affection for it.

"Everyone, don't worry. Please rest assured, we don't have the habit of placing beasts in the exhibition hall," Lorant joked, seeing everyone's expressions. "This beast pet is called 'Meat Mountain,' bred by the great mage Robert from the Beast Tower."

"Although it doesn't look very appealing, the Meat Mountain is definitely the most important beast pet in this exhibition, in my opinion," Lorant said seriously. "In fact, if we were to rank all the beast pets in the Beast Pet Shop by importance, I still believe the Meat Mountain would rank very high."

He initially wanted to say it was the most important, but then he caught a glimpse of Fa Meng, who had been obediently wearing a little suit and floating beside him all day, and quickly changed his wording.

This little one is quite the jealous type. If I had actually said that, who knows what kind of tantrum he would have thrown later.

However, even so, Lorant's words made many people set aside their skepticism and start seriously observing the beast in front of them, trying to see what makes it so extraordinary.

Sadly, no matter how you look at it, this little guy is just an unusually ugly beast.

"Everyone, please take a look, this is the profile of Meat Mountain," Lorant walked to the front display area, pointing at the huge chart flag and said, "This beast was bred not long ago, but we have invited a legendary mage proficient in time magic to help, allowing a batch of Meat Mountains to mature ahead of schedule."

As he spoke, he waved his hand upwards, and the employees responsible for this exhibition area immediately opened the projection crystal with great understanding.

The projection crystal can only show short video clips, but it suffices.

In front of everyone, an ugly giant beast, as big as a mountain, was ambling leisurely on the grassland. It stopped from time to time, and when it moved forward again, the vegetation beneath it had disappeared.

Wherever it went, it was like a huge vacuum cleaner, devouring all the green plants on the ground.

At the same time, behind the huge Meat Mountain, an employee dressed in Blue Star attire followed. He used a wooden stick in his hand to strike a gong in his other hand, creating a loud clang. He followed the giant beast like this, and soon, he successfully picked up a piece of meat that had fallen from the beast's body.

This is the method Lorant devised to obtain the meat from Meat Mountain. The meat on Meat Mountain is actually a defense mechanism, used for a self-preservation tactic in times of crisis. So, if they do not sense danger, these lazy giants will not easily discard the meat they have worked hard to grow.

Fortunately, although Meat Mountain is surprisingly large, it is also incredibly skittish.

Just making a loud noise near them will immediately scare these giants into fleeing in panic.

The piece of meat shed by the giant beast is nothing to it, but it is almost as long as the body of the average person following it.

At the end of the video, the employee of the beast store called his companion, and the two of them, carrying the meat with great effort, moved it off-screen.

Then, the employee in the exhibition tapped the counter in front of him to attract everyone's attention, and the counter, which had been covered with a black cloth facing the crowd, was suddenly removed by him.

A piece of meat, exactly the same as the one that appeared in the crystal projection, was revealed to everyone.

Faced with such a display, the crowd exchanged glances.

Even Archbishop Frank and Diana couldn't help but exchange a look, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

If their understanding is correct, the beast store is showing that this beast can actually produce beast meat!

The implications of this are as shocking as being told that beast meat can grow on trees.

It is something completely contrary to common sense.

"Store owner, I want to ask, do you mean that this beast can continuously produce such beast meat, like the Candy Rabbit, right?" Frank was the first to speak, still somewhat in disbelief, feeling that everything he saw seemed too fantastical.

"No, this is not beast meat," Lorant replied, shaking his head.

Many people's hearts sank, and an indescribable emotion welled up within them.

Although a beast that can produce beast meat is indeed too astonishing for people to immediately accept, when they heard Lorant deny it, an uncontrollable disappointment still surged in their hearts.

"So, this piece of meat is not beast meat, and it doesn't have the distinct energy of beast meat, right?" Paul stroked the stubble on his chin, looking thoughtfully at the little Meat Mountain in front of him.

Even without the distinct energy of beast meat, if it can become a source of meat that ordinary people can eat, replacing beast meat to a certain extent, it would still be a good solution.

Moreover, what Paul pondered was that although he had been visiting the beast store frequently, it seems that there are still so many secrets he doesn't know about. What does this mean?

It means he is still not deep enough!

He needs to dig deeper!

Lorant looked at the two seemingly calm men, one stroking his beard and the other clenching his fist, and shook his head with a smile: "No, what I mean is that the meat produced by the Meat Mountain, which we call 'Giant Mountain Meat,' is a brand-new kind of meat."

"This Giant Mountain Meat is highly productive. Although its texture and taste are nothing to write home about, it packs the same energy as level one and two beast meat, making it a top-tier beast pet offering," Lorant said with a smile. "The energy within has been tested by us and can definitely meet the daily needs of practitioners!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, then exploded into chaos as if a bomb had suddenly gone off.

Except for the Beast Tower folks who already knew about the Meat Mountain, everyone else looked like they'd seen a ghost.

A beast pet that can produce energy-infused meat!

What does this mean?

It means that from today onwards, practitioners no longer need to rely on beasts to survive!

Although the abundance of beasts is not the result of people intentionally breeding them, it is undeniable that practitioners indeed cannot do without beasts.

The relationship between the two is somewhat interdependent.

The by-product of the Curry Monster, which only has a mild oral toxicity, has already amazed and been sought after by countless people.

The main reason is that people no longer need to rely on certain special materials provided by beasts to gain this power.

And now, the beast pet shop claims they have the capability to liberate people from their dependence on beasts in terms of energy meat!

What is this? This is a game-changing breakthrough!

At this moment, whether it was the pompous nobles and royals or the powerful practitioners, everyone couldn't help but ask questions one after another.

"Really? Energy equivalent to level one and two?"

"What's the production rate of this Giant Mountain Meat? Can the Meat Mountain be mass-produced now?"

"Exactly! How many Meat Mountains are there now? I am willing to buy them all!"

"How much does it eat? Can it be fed a plant-based diet? Are there any specific conditions for raising it?"

"How long does it live? How much Giant Mountain Meat can one Meat Mountain produce?"

Countless questions flew from the crowd, and even Lorant, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but take a step back.

He gestured for calm: "Everyone, take it easy, speak one at a time, we will answer your questions!"

"You can first look at the ability chart, and if you still have questions, our staff will answer them."

"When it comes to the energy, seeing is believing. We will cut a small piece of Giant Mountain Meat and cook it up right here, and everyone can taste it for themselves!"

Hearing Lorant say this, the crowd had to give up their plan to press him for answers and instead turned to the ability chart and the staff beside it.

......

The appearance of the Meat Mountain undoubtedly sent excitement through the roof for today's exhibition.

They might be unmoved by the basic needs of ordinary people, but they were extremely excited about the beast meat that practitioners must have.

The importance these people place on practitioners knows no bounds.

And precisely because of this, Lorant found their disregard for ordinary people even more perplexing. These people, over the years, have failed to realize that practitioners are essentially derived from ordinary people, and that ordinary people are the true foundation of this world, which is something Lorant simply cannot understand.

For the two most important exhibition halls in this exhibition, Lorant considers them to be the fertilizer hall and the Meat Mountain hall.

The promotion of the fertilizer hall means that more people will be able to eat their fill in the future, and the people who will not die due to food shortages and the increased population due to sufficient food are the best feedback for fertilizer.

In contrast, the significance of the Meat Mountain exhibition hall is to allow more people to eat better, to more easily obtain energy, and to have more chances to awaken.

One addresses the issue of having enough to eat, the other improves the quality of the diet.

If the emergence of Meat Mountain enables more people to occasionally bring home a piece of energy-rich meat, the rich energy will undoubtedly produce more practitioners in this world.

This has been confirmed by Lorant through Silem and the children from the Blue Star Orphanage.

The number of knights among the nobles far exceeds that of those from the slums, but a side-by-side comparison shows that knights from ordinary families generally have greater talent and abilities than their noble counterparts.

Some argue that these knights put more effort into their training, while most noble knights lose their training discipline after achieving a certain level of strength, distracted by external temptations.

However, Lorant has a different perspective.

Those knights born into ordinary families, who thrive in relatively harsh environments during childhood, inherently possess exceptional talent.

This is why they shine brighter in the long run.

As for those children without strong talent, they often lack the opportunity to awaken as practitioners in poor families.

Therefore, if Meat Mountain can become widespread in the future, unlocking this long-overlooked pool of 'potential practitioners,' the surge in practitioners will undoubtedly astonish everyone.

Although everyone is optimistic about the Meat Mountain ranch and wants to cooperate with Lorant in this regard, the Beast Pet Store has not yet made a clear decision on the breeding cooperation plan for Meat Mountain.

The guests could only express their regret, promising to stay updated, and they hold high hopes for the future of Meat Mountain. If the Beast Pet Store is open to collaboration, they are ready to offer any assistance needed.

Whether it's money, land, or manpower, as long as they can participate, they appear ready to spare no expense.

Lorant smiled as he handled the guests, knowing that this project might not start anytime soon.

The growth period of Meat Mountain is much longer than Lorant expected, which makes him somewhat helpless. Except for a few Meat Mountains that were artificially accelerated by time magic to test the effects, most Meat Mountains remain nearly the same size as when they were born.

This is far from ideal.

For the first time, Lorant felt resentment towards the slow growth rate of a beast pet. If only these little ones could mature overnight!

Leaving the Meat Mountain exhibition hall, everyone entered an exquisitely designed exhibition hall.

The entire hall was transformed into the shape of a giant shell, with sea-blue translucent walls shaped like shells, with waves gently lapping against the inner surfaces.

The display stands inside the hall were also decorated in various shell shapes.

Inside the slightly opened shells were various styles of wristbands, and some small bags of jerky, which are Wulu Shell's favorite snacks.

"Here is the Wulu Shell exhibition hall," Lorant stood in front of the crowd with his arms outstretched, and the crowd, previously engrossed by the Meat Mountain, finally shifted their focus back to the exhibition hall.

The setup here feels almost magical, with many small shell beast pets energetically jumping around in the giant Tridacna shell in the center.

They are separated far apart but still enthusiastically want to 'stick' with their companions.

Lorant glanced at them, with Fa Meng's rules in place, these hot-tempered kids have no chance to fight even if they want to.

This reassures him, although the shells on the Wulu Shells are still quite sturdy and ordinary collisions won't have much effect, Lorant always worries that they might eventually break their own or other shells' shells...

Lorant's deliberately outstretched arm also drew the attention of the people present to the sea-blue wristband on his wrist.

Of course, the string of sea-blue gemstone bracelets also made many people's expressions look somewhat strange.

These people are either old nobles or formidable warriors who have lived for a long time, and they are not entirely unfamiliar with the Cavendish family.

Many people who were present at the grand wedding of Lindbergh and Diana back then naturally knew that the set of jewelry Diana wore was the heirloom of the Cavendish family.

This kind of translucent, almost eerie sea-blue gemstone is still rarely seen on the market to this day.

Considering the recent behavior of the current Earl of Cavendish, many people have started to form their own thoughts.

Same-sex lovers are quite common among practitioners, but among the nobility, it is considered somewhat unconventional. However, when a noble's status overlaps with that of a practitioner, nine out of ten would choose to prioritize their identity as a practitioner.

Thus, those with real power hardly pay attention to the sour opinions of the nobility.

They wouldn't dare to gossip about these formidable warriors either.

"This type of beast pet, which I call the 'Wulu Shell,' is the first A-level beast pet that the Beast Pet Shop is preparing to officially sell to the public," Lorant announced loudly, directly stating the level of the Wulu Shell.

The term 'A-level beast pet' indeed successfully excited everyone present, and all eyes turned eagerly toward the large shell-shaped beast cage behind Lorant.

So far, the Beast Pet Shop has only showcased two types of A-level beast pets: the Holy Light Peacock and the Lightwing Butterfly, which is said to have some A-level capabilities.

Setting aside the Lightwing Butterfly, although some individuals have A-level strength, to this day, people have rarely even seen B-level Lightwing Butterflies.

Due to the Beast Pet Shop's auction policy, these little creatures still retain a great deal of mystery in people's minds.

However, the other A-level beast pet is already well-known to the world.

The Holy Light Peacock! This miraculous healing beast pet first appeared during the beast wave and immediately left everyone astonished.

During that time, even the Church's glory was overshadowed by this wondrous beast pet.

Countless practitioners would rather go out of their way to find a Holy Light Peacock than seek out priests, even when it was possible.

Although curiosity played a part, it was enough to demonstrate the incredible allure of the Holy Light Peacock.

Publicly, Lorant once mentioned that his inspiration for the Holy Light Peacock came from hearing Cardinal Diana's sermon, but such statements were only meant to placate ordinary believers and the general public.

The shrewd individuals present wouldn't seriously believe that the Beast Pet Shop was in cahoots with the Church.

In fact, many were secretly waiting to see the Church embarrass itself during that time.

As everyone knows, beast pets are creatures that can be bred on a large scale. With the increasing number of Glassy Ice Flame Dogs, many low-level practitioners now feel that they might soon be replaced by these beast pets.

However, even if attack-type beast pets are incredibly powerful, they can still be considered a supplement to combat strength. But if a beast pet like the Holy Light Peacock, with its almost bug-like abilities, were to be mass-produced, the first to feel the pressure would be the Church, which relies on its healing abilities.

Despite having so many believers now, if the Church's priests were to lose their 'unique status,' not only practitioners but even ordinary people who crave the healing light casually bestowed by priests could easily switch to other beliefs.

At that point, maintaining the current dominance would be nearly impossible.

After all, it takes many years for the Church to train a single priest at the Archbishop level, and in that same amount of time, the Beast Pet Shop could breed countless Holy Light Peacocks!

How could they possibly compete?

However, to the disappointment of those waiting to see the drama unfold, although the Church indeed failed to mount any form of counterattack, the Beast Pet Shop also did not continue to breed new Holy Light Peacocks.

Now, these Holy Light Peacocks only occasionally appear at the Lopulo Pass, guarded by a few organizations with good relations with the Beast Pet Shop. But whenever they appear, other priests and healing mages are immediately overshadowed and ignored.

No one can look at a Holy Light Peacock without feeling a sense of envy, but the Beast Pet Shop treasures its A-level beast pets immensely, with employees following them closely wherever they go.

Moreover, if one's relationship with the Beast Pet Shop isn't strong enough, they can't even lease a Holy Light Peacock, let alone purchase such a beautiful creature.

And now, Lorant has announced that these little shells will be the first A-level beast pets directly sold by the Beast Pet Shop!

That's an A-level beast pet! Even if it doesn't have the terrifying abilities of the Holy Light Peacock, it probably won't be far off in terms of strength.

Moreover, many people are eagerly anticipating the sight of an A-level combat beast pet. After all, the strongest combat abilities of the two B-level beast pets can already go head-to-head with eighth-level beasts without losing ground. According to the beast pet shop's rating system, A-level is stronger than B-level, so it might even have the abilities of a tenth-level beast.

A mass-producible tenth-level combat beast would bring about a massive change to the current world order!

However, the next second, Lorant's words shattered their imaginations.

"But this A-level beast pet doesn't have powerful combat abilities, nor does it have any healing or enhancement abilities," Lorant continued, looking at the visibly disappointed crowd. "However, it possesses a powerful, irreplaceable support ability."

"Everyone, please take a closer look at the Wulu Shell's ability chart. This beast pet has a unique communication ability. With them, you can say goodbye to those cumbersome glowing stones forever!"

Looking at the chart detailing the Wulu Shell's abilities, the guests, who had already been shocked several times, felt their worldview being shaken once again.

But then again, their worldview was already on shaky ground, so one more shock wouldn't make much difference.

Thus, the crowd's reaction was surprisingly better than Lorant had expected.

Contact without distance? Visual communication?

These concepts, when taken individually, were understandable, but when placed on a beast pet's ability chart, they became somewhat baffling.

"Shopkeeper, can you demonstrate this for us?"

"Yes, shopkeeper, this chart has left me quite confused."

"Communication? How does it work? Where do the words we say to these beast pets get transmitted to?"

As true locals, even the high-level mages present were somewhat bewildered when they saw the Wulu Shell's description.

Lorant had anticipated this situation, so the two staff members standing here were Silem and Mo'er.

Both young men had mastered all the ways to use the Wulu Shell and could be considered 'Wulu Shell enthusiasts.' At Lorant's wave, they obediently stepped forward to demonstrate the Wulu Shell's usage to the crowd.

The seemingly complex abilities became crystal clear the moment the two young men demonstrated them.

The crowd's gaze instantly grew even more intense.

The way they looked at the freely jumping little shells almost sparked excitement.

"I believe everyone now understands the abilities of this beast pet," Lorant said with a smile, stepping forward. "As for this beast pet, you can probably see that each one has slight differences in appearance."

"This is because, like the Windbreaking Horse, even within the same species, Wulu Shells have significant individual differences."

"The Windbreaking Horse has elite specimens, and naturally, so does the Wulu Shell."

"For example, take my little one here."

Lorant raised his wrist to show the crowd his little shell.

The little shell, thinking Lorant needed something from it, opened a crack, its tiny eyes filled with confusion.

Lorant subtly pressed the little shell, making it retract, then addressed the crowd: "This is the 'Pearl Moon Shell,' the finest bloodline among Wulu Shells. Look at its surface, shimmering with a faint glow, its shape flawless, a rare treasure among ten thousand."

"And please look at the bottom of the little one. It has a unique serial number, beautifully shaped like a crescent moon, a rare and precious feature among Wulu Shells."

Lorant lied without batting an eye: "You can observe the details for yourselves, but one thing to note is that the more precious the Wulu Shell, the higher the price. Of course, the functional differences are minimal, so you can choose according to your preference."

"Since you are the first group of honored guests to see these little ones, I can make an exception for you. Only for today, you can directly purchase Wulu Shells. As long as there's a mutual match, you can take these little ones home today!"

"As for the price, it ranges from one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand. You can choose according to your preference!"

The shopkeeper swayed his fox tail behind him, revealing a smile ready to reap the benefits.
