World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!

Chapter 71: 2.5 Billion!

Locke had not given up. Although he was only able to wield three Battle Beasts, as long as he found a Beast Egg that fit his fancy, he would stow away the egg for his own use in the future.

Then, he reached out to the other eggs…

[ Berserk Duck ] , [ Steel-armored wolf ] , [ Water-sucking Monster ] , [ Immortal Snail ] , [ Chameleon Butterfly ] , [ Subterranean Worm ] …

Be it their name, level, skills, or possible evolution paths…

None of the Beast Eggs had satisfied Locke.

“Sigh… Looks like I’ve ended up empty-handed this time.” Locke muttered while instructing Lil’ White to pack up the Beast Eggs.

He had decided to sell all the eggs away.

After all, he was the only person who could tell what the eggs would hatch into.

Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Greetings, sir! I am your customer service representative, Castan!” Castan’s opening note was as polite as ever.

“Oh, Castan, I remember you. Good news, Castan, I have another business proposition for you!”

“Sir, I am honored that you still remember my name. May I know how I can be of service?” Castan spoke in a friendly tone.

Locke informed him of the Beast Eggs that he was intending to sell.

“Sir… Sir, you’re joking right? 176 Beast Eggs?” Castan’s voice trembled. Noticing that Locke was not responding, Castan realized that he had lost his composure.

He immediately collected himself and responded, “Please forgive my loss of composure, sir. Due to the unprecedented number of eggs, I will need to discuss the price with my boss beforehand. However, you have no need to worry, as we will purchase all the eggs just like before. As such, I urge, no, I beg of you, sir, please don’t take your business elsewhere …”

In this world, Beast Eggs meant everything. Without them, humanity would be powerless.

As such, Locke doubted that the Chamber of Commerce would treat him poorly.

He decided to take a shower first.

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, his phone rang.

“Sir! I have already discussed with my boss. We have decided to offer 2 billion Federal Coins for all your Beast Eggs!” There was a trace of excitement in Castan’s voice.

Locke threw his bath towel onto the sofa and replied, “I’m sorry, I can’t accept this price. Maybe I’ll receive more favorable offers from the other Chambers of Commerce.”

Merchants were always trying to make a profit, and this nature was ingrained in their blood.

Locke understood this, but at the same time, 2 billion Federal Coins was too low. After all, he had sold nearly 60 eggs at the price of 800 million Federal Coins previously, and now, they were only offering 2 billion for nearly 180 Beast Eggs.

No sensible person would accept the exchange.

“Ehh, ehh! Sir, let’s talk this through, alright?! What if we increase our offer by 50 million coins?” Seeing that Locke was remaining silent, Castan continued, “Sir! How about an offer of 2.1 billion! This price is enough to show our sincerity, right?”

After spending an entire night awake, Locke was hit by a drowsy spell. With a yawn, Locke stated, “2.5 billion, this is my price! I’m going to brush my teeth now. I won’t hang up, but after brushing my teeth, I hope that you’ll come to your senses… Otherwise, let us meet again on a different business proposition…”

Just as Locke was about to put down his phone, Castan shouted, “Calm down sir! There’s no need to be angry! I’ll report to my boss immediately. Please don’t be rash, sir…”

About three minutes later… Castan’s voice rang out once more, “Sir, my boss has agreed to your price. I’m really sorry about the previous price. I misremembered the quantity of the Beast Eggs and had given you the wrong figure. That was the reason behind the egregious prices. I hope that you can forgive me, sir…”

‘What a great employee. He really knows how to bail his company out of trouble.’

“You should know the account number. The trade will take place in the Holy City. I’ll send you the location!”

“Yes, sir. We will transfer the money to you immediately. I will send someone to pick up the goods tonight…”

After hanging up the phone, the tired Locke crashed into the sofa and fell asleep immediately after.

It was already 7:30 p.m. when he woke up again. After getting a change of clothes, he went to his parents’ place to have dinner, and once that was done, he went to the location of the trade.

On his way back to the academy, Locke admired the freshly transferred 2.5 billion Federal Coins in his bank account. He was suddenly filled with a sense of security.

However, his joy soon faded upon recalling the price of upgrade materials.

‘As a rare wind-type Battle Beast, it’s only natural that Wings of the Sky costs a pretty penny to upgrade.’

’20 Gale Fruits, 15 Hearts of Brilliance, 25 stalks of Skyborne Pride Grass, and an ounce of Demoness’ Tears.

He immediately called the Battle Beast Treasure Tower to inquire about the price. Even with a substantial discount, it still cost him a little over 300 million Federal Coins!

“This amount of money wouldn’t last for long…” After purchasing the materials and transferring the money, Locke sighed.

Just as he was about to reach the school gate, a few luxury cars blocked his way!

Fire and wind erupted from Locke’s body. Sensing the hostile intent of the opposing party, Locke was ready to retaliate at any time.

The one who got out of the car was a handsome man wearing a windbreaker and had long hair. He maintained a neutral expression, and Locke could not sense the opposing party’s aggression.

“Are You Locke?” The long-haired man was very tall and as such, he looked down on Locke as he said those words.

“I am, but who are you?”

The long-haired man’s lips curled up in excitement. At this moment, he looked as if he had encountered a worthy prey to hunt. “Andrew White…”

‘As expected, it’s them again!’

There were people coming and going along the street, and as such, Locke doubted that Andrew would make a move right then and there. Locke asked, “Your family is really annoying. What on earth do you want?”

Andrew was not bothered by Locke’s provocation. Instead, it seemed to have piqued his interest even more. With an eyebrow raised, Andrew added, “Very good, I can feel the aura of a powerhouse coming from you…”

At this moment, Locke suddenly heard a sharp falcon’s cry coming from the sky.

An afterimage flashed before Locke’s eyes!

It was so fast that Locke could not even catch a glimpse of it!

As the falcon’s claws loosened, a letter landed at Locke’s feet.

“This is the declaration of a duel that I applied from the federal court. It is absolutely legal! I will duel you on behalf of the White family tomorrow! Our battle will take place at the academy’s field!”

With that, the long-haired man turned around and left. Halfway through, he turned around and stated, “Based on their descriptions, you seem to be very strong… I sincerely hope that you’ll give your all in our duel…”

“Although, your efforts will probably be in vain!”

“Slash… !”

Right after Andrew said those words, a few holes were suddenly ripped open on Locke’s clothes!

A falcon’s cry rang out once more. It was only then that Locke realized it was the speedy falcon’s doing!
