"1,000 yuan for a Level 1 Spirit Bok Choy, 5,000 yuan for one kilogram of Level 2 Spirit Cherries, 10,000 for a Level 2 Spirit Apple…"
"He's probably thinking about money like crazy!"
Fang Ziyu said with extreme frustration.
These were the prices he saw on Tongcheng Trading Website. They were truly ridiculously expensive.
Especially when those weren't the kind of individual mutated plant. For example, a Level 1 Spirit Ginseng cost more than 30,000 yuan and it was priceless. As soon as it was on the market, it was easy for its price to be directly increased to 100,000 yuan.
There were too many rich people and too few mutated plants that could increase Spiritual Power. Normal people couldn't get them at all.
Besides, normally, no one would sell these things. They would directly use them to increase their strength.
Poor people like Fang Ziyu couldn't afford them at all.
Also, mutated plants that only bore one fruit would directly die after maturing, so there was no way to plant them artificially at the moment.
And the fruits of a mutated plant like the apple tree were too weak, so they wouldn't be able to increase much Spiritual Power.
So, there were barely any mutated plants that could increase people's Spiritual Power on the market right now. The best way to get them was to go on an adventure in the wilderness.
However, going on an adventure required great strength. Without strength, not only would people not be able to get any mutated plants, but they would also die directly. At the same time, they also needed mutated plants to increase their strength.
This was a vicious cycle for most people.
"No, I must think of a way to get some mutated plants to increase my Spiritual Power as soon as possible." Fang Ziyu scratched his head and said in frustration.
Even though he was in the city right now, he still felt a sense of insecurity after experiencing the incident of the Double Sucker Worms.
He had about 200,000 yuan in his bank account after opening the store for two years, but he was going to set up the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base tomorrow. This was something that had to be done. It was now or never.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have a chance when the pet detector went on the market.
Since he wanted to make a huge amount of money, Fang Ziyu had no money to buy mutated plants for now.
No matter how Fang Ziyu thought about it, he still couldn't think of a way to get mutated plants that could increase his Spiritual Power, so he laid on the recliner comfortably.
Hm.
This was a person who had no dream that wasn't even willing to turn over.
There were no customers for the rest of the time.
Mother Earth turned and the day passed just like that.
The sun rose again at dawn after the night.
At around 7, Fang Ziyu rushed out of the bedroom while yawning in his cartoon bear pajamas.
He was about to burst.
After getting out of bed, Fang Ziyu first fed his pets and then cleaned up the entire store again, throwing away the cat litter and some other pet feces.
After that, he went to the restaurant next door for breakfast. What was worth mentioning was that the owner of the restaurant had contracted a hybrid Alaskan Malamute that could spit fire. What was even more unbelievable was that he trained a sled dog, one of the three most foolish dogs, to spit fire for him to cook.
That even saved him gas.
Seeing the new pet, Fang Ziyu made a Normal Spirit Card, thinking that it was better than nothing, and he got 10 Handbook Points.
That made his Handbook Points increase to 60.
After tidying up, Fang Ziyu took Icy and hummed as they took a taxi to the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base.
The Ocean Pet Cultivation Base was in the south of the city near the suburbs. Fang Ziyu only spent 20 yuan to get there.
Even though he hadn't been here for two years, Fang Ziyu still remembered the road deeply because of the impact of being tricked back then.
Speaking of the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base, there was even news about them during the rise of Spiritual Energy. Because there was no law of protection for small animals in our country, many pet cultivation bases completely treated female cats or dogs as breeding machines in order to reduce costs.
They made these pets reproduce and then immediately carry on with the next reproduction, not giving them any nutrition at all. Anyway, they could just find a new one if they died, which was even less than the cost of nutrition for pets.
Then, during the rise of Spiritual Energy, all these animals started to mutate. Many pet cultivation bases were in serious disasters at that time. The Chaotic Monsters mutated from cats and dogs completely destroyed the bases.
The Ocean Pet Cultivation Base was quite lucky. The mutated Chaotic Monsters here weren't particularly strong, and the police arrived quickly, so they were safe.
After walking for a few hundred meters, Fang Ziyu saw the signboard of the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base, the smiling face of a husky.
Huskies were too famous. Many pet bases used them as their mascot.
Fang Ziyu walked into the base and saw a saleswoman in her thirties. This saleswoman, who had thick makeup on, asked with a smile, "Hello, sir. Are you looking for a personal pet or business cooperation?"
The saleswoman was slightly surprised when she saw Icy on Fang Ziyu's shoulder. What a cute pet, it even looked like a dragon.
"I'm a pet store owner. I came to buy a batch of mutated pets. If the quality is good, I will buy around 20 to 30 of them." Fang Ziyu directly expressed his purpose of coming.
This saleswoman was called Liu Hui. She was the one who served and tricked Fang Ziyu two years ago. However, she seemed to have forgotten about him now, so Fang Ziyu naturally had no intention of saying it out loud.
Two years ago, when Ziyu opened the pet store, he didn't sell strange pets like snakes and lizards, but normal cats and dogs.
He was too young at that time. He heard this saleswoman say that even the large chain pet store, Love Pets, got pets from them. She successfully tricked Fang Ziyu, this rookie, to buy cats and dogs here.
After that, they sold Fang Ziyu a bunch of problematic pets. They were either hubrids or had health problems.
As a result, Fang Ziyu not only lost money to the people who bought the pets from his store, but also had to sell all the other pets in the store at a low price.
This incident directly made Fang Ziyu, who had just graduated, despair. The pet store directly closed and he even owed tens of thousands of yuan.
If it weren't for the financial help from his parents who ran an apple garden, Fang Ziyu would be bathing cats and dogs at some pet store right now.
How could Fang Ziyu possibly forget such a huge grudge?
The saleswoman, Liu Hui, immediately became more energetic when she heard that it was a huge deal. She quickly said, "Sir, how should I call you? Please sit and have a cup of tea first. We'll talk in detail."
"I'm Mr. Fang." Fang Ziyu waved his hand. "I'm in a hurry. I want to choose my pet quickly."
Liu Hui was startled, then nodded and said, "Alright, but be careful, sir. These mutated pets are all very dangerous."
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing." Fang Ziyu seemed a bit impatient.
Seeing that Fang Ziyu said so, Liu Hui could only lead the way and reminded him to be careful.
In the past, customers weren't allowed to enter such a pet base that sold normal cats and dogs, but it didn't matter now because they were all mutated pets.
"Ah, Mr. Fang, may I know the name of your pet store?" Liu Hui asked as she led the way.
Fang Ziyu told her the name, Bizarre Pet Store. This was the name he changed after he started selling special pets like lizards and snakes.
Liu Hui directly brought Fang Ziyu to the area that stored the high-quality pets they chose. They could only choose pets based on their experience. They usually looked for those with powerful skills or those with severe mutations such as having two heads and wings.
Such selection criteria only had a certain degree of accuracy, but in fact, the potential of a pet didn't have much to do with its appearance. It couldn't even be judged by the strength of its skills.
For example, some pets only had a Level 1 potential. When they were at Level 1, it was like they were fully grown. The power of their skills was certainly a bit stronger than those pets that hadn't fully grown yet. But this didn't mean that their potential was high.
As for its appearance, it was even worse.
These weren't difficult to conclude, but people could only choose pets according to these characteristics because they didn't have instruments that truly tested the potential of pets.
"Mr. Fang, do you want me to give you a recommendation? There are a lot of powerful pets here. They can definitely be sold for a good price." Liu Hui pointed at the pets inside the fence and said.
"No, I want to choose it myself."
