Chapter 491: Chapter 485: King Dragon Pets
“Let our people keep an eye on the items they’re bidding for,” Wayne
Goldsmith said softly.
The Star Moon Commerce Guild had a vast business and numerous treasures. He did not actually care whether David Jones could successfully find the bargains, because the chances of finding such bargains at the auction were too low.
Instead, Wayne tried to deduce David’s contracted pets and their abilities based on the information about the pet resources he had purchased at the auction. This was a small hobby of his that he usually kept secret.
“Understood.”
The butler nodded as usual, giving a meaningful glance to the surrounding attendants.
Unlike the young master who had just finished his off, as the steward of the young master, he had to review the Star Moon Commerce Guild’s intelligence every day.
The moment David uttered his name, the butler immediately understood his identity as the Purplewood Leader, but he chose to remain silent for fear of affecting the young master’s rare elegance.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered such an interesting genius, David Jones, last year’s Purplewood Freshman First, right?”
Wayne Goldsmith glanced sidelong at David and then walked toward the luxurious elevator surrounded by guards.
Today was an extremely important day. In order to prevent accidents with tonight’s finale auction item, he needed to stay in the Star Moon Tower with his family elders and not leave the building at will.
Without the company of the guild’s steward, David casually wandered around the third floor with Grau in his arms.
It had to be said that the Star Moon Commerce Guild was indeed the top-grade
Beast Control Power in Peony City.
A small third-floor venue gathered dragon resources from all over the Flowery Kingdom. As long as David could think of dragon resources, he could basically find them here.
The only drawback was that it was a bit expensive, so expensive that even David, a senior Alchemist, could not afford it. Moreover, there was no possibility of finding bargains. Each auction item had detailed information on the display counter, and the quality was extremely high.
So, as he walked down the road, David found quite a few high-quality dragon resources.
Among them, the daily food for the five pets cost David 40 million star coins. As for the cost of cultivation resources, it was even higher. The cost of type arcane crystals and various level V dragon resources alone was 200 million star coins. These pet resources were only enough for his five pets to consume for three to four months.
Of course, there was also a cheaper way. If David didn’t pursue the maximum growth of his pets and only chose pet resources that met their daily needs, he would only need 10 to 20 million star coins to get it done.
But David would never choose to skimp on Lolo, Rainbow, and other pets, even if he had to suffer. Consequently, the money he had saved up over the past six months from making Class V elixirs was instantly depleted.
“Aren11 we competing for bargains? How did you start wholesale shopping,
David?” Grau complained.
“I’m preparing pet resources while picking up bargains. Grau, do you see any auction items you like? If the price is right, I’ll give you one as a gift,” David smiled.
“No need, Grau is rich!”
As they chatted, David stopped at a counter selling ancient machinery.
“Wow, a second-generation Machinery Dragon!”
“What’s so interesting about these useless pieces of scrap metal?
Upon hearing David’s surprised voice, Grau glanced at the weak Machinery Dragon and lost interest. He could easily annihilate countless such metal scraps with a swipe of his paw.
David ignored Grau’s murmurings, staring at the marked price on the counter and falling into deep thought.
[Bidding starting price: 50 million star coins, each increment must not be less than 1 million!]
Since this auction used a silent bidding method, the prices given on the counter were for reference only and did not represent the upper limit of the auction item’s price.
If the right buyer and enough competition were to come, the price of this second-generation Machinery Dragon could easily rise to 70 or 80 million.
“It seems that the ancient mecha that Vine sold to me in a bundle last time was relatively cheap!” David thought to himself.
He then looked around at the counters and discovered that the Guardian Dragon series of ancient mechs from the first to the fourth generation were available for sale, but there was no fifth-generation Mechanical Dragon King that David had wanted most.
“What a pity, I still have to pin my hopes on Vine!” David sighed inwardly. When he originally made the deal, it was agreed that the mecha would be delivered within three months. However, when his retreat ended, Vine had not yet managed to procure a single Mechanical Dragon King and kept postponing the delivery deadline.
Such untrustworthy behavior made David want to back out and change sellers. Thinking of this, David pulled out his phone and looked at the last apology message sent by Vine.
Taking into account the pleasant transaction last time and the fact that the Class VII epigraph skill [Endless Restructuring] could greatly enhance Gluttonous Beast’s strength, David hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not blacklist Vine.
“I’ll give you two more months at most. If you delay the delivery again, don’t blame me for claiming compensation according to the contract!
After sending this message, without waiting for Vine’s reply, David continued to stroll through the dazzling array of items on the third floor.
At this moment, David suddenly noticed some commotion in the crowd at a distance, and his curiosity was piqued, his footsteps quickened.
To enter the Star Moon Tower for the auction, trainers had to have either sufficient strength or sufficiently high status.
David had encountered many powerful King Beastmasters along the way, and occasionally even encountered a few elusive epic strongwilled ones.
“What dragon treasures could cause such a commotion among these strong players?” With intense curiosity, David went over to check it out.
“What a handsome young master!” The noble ladies in small groups nearby noticed someone approaching, their eyes lit up, seemingly eager to size up David from head to toe.
“An outsider with power?” Several keen-eyed strong trainers fixed their gazes on Grau in David’s arms, unconsciously moving to make way for David. This action caught the attention of those around them.
Peony City was neither big nor small, and they basically knew all the trainers with strong family backgrounds. But this was the first time they had seen a young man who could play with an Overlord Dragon in his arms.
As for the trainers standing in the core area, they didn’t even give David a glance, completely ignoring his presence and still focusing on the treasures in front of them.
Looking at the crowd that had instantly cleared a path on the outskirts, David raised an eyebrow and walked in with a natural demeanor.
“No wonder so many people are attracted; it turns out it’s a Dragon Pet counter!”
David looked at the King Dragon Pets not far away, lively and spirited, repeatedly hitting the protective shields with their claws, with surprise in his eyes.
It was a one-meter-long dragon cub, its scales covered in dazzling, disordered lines that shone under the light.
Behind it was a pair of light green translucent wings that were only slightly larger than its body. As the wings flapped gently, two tails ending in hooks like flower buds clung tight to its back, emanating a dazzling glow, and its big watery eyes were somewhat captivating.
