Chapter 344: Chapter 241 Jing Moniang Knows Everything (Daily Chapter) _2

[Make a deal], [Continue negotiation], or [Turn around and leave].

"Turn around and leave."

[After hearing the fat shop-owner’s request, you suddenly stand up and want to leave the shop. Mumbling that you’re going to take a look at the remaining three pet stores.]

[The fat shop-owner stares dumbfoundedly. He quickly offers a new deal: this ’Release of Familiars’, in exchange for the Silver Owl supply channel, with profits divided equally. You choose...]

"Turn around and leave."

[You leave again without saying a word. The shop-owner, sweating profusely, pulls you back and tentatively proposes to split the profit 46/54. You choose...]

"Turn around and leave."

[The shop-owner looks like he is about to break into tears as he pulls you back. He offers a 37/63 split. Isn’t that enough? Selling Silver Owls incurs high luxury taxes and advertising costs, and this ratio already means a slight loss for him. It’s essentially sacrificing profits for promotion.]

"Turn around and leave."

[You still choose to leave. This time, the shop-owner sighs, his face colored with disappointment, and no longer tries to detain you, allowing you to leave the shop.]

"Rewind."

Having seen the result, Mu You rewinds time according to the instructions, going back to the previous choice.

"Continue negotiation."

[You seem somewhat interested in the shop-owner’s 37/63 split proposal, but you’re still hesitant.]

[The shop-owner quickly asks if there’s anything else you need, saying that it can be discussed.]

A new textbox pops up, and Mu You types in a condition.

[You indicate your desire to purchase some non-sterilized familiars in the shop.]

[The shop-owner hesitates for a while, but ultimately nods his head in agreement, on the condition that you agree to three terms.]

[First, you can’t operate a pet shop within the Imperial Capital.]

[Second, you cannot provide other shops within the Imperial Capital with Silver Owl stock from your source.]

[Third, you must provide at least thirty Silver Owls to his shop each month.]

The three terms pose no major issues for Mu You. He has over two hundred Silver Owls and Evolution Light to use. Easily providing thirty a month.

However, Mu You tweaked the third condition from thirty a month to three hundred a year for two years. After two years, the contract would need to be renewed. This gives a more flexible timeframe to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

The other party did not object. The shop-owner then had Mu You sign a business contract stipulating both parties’ rights and obligations. Mu You needs to fulfill the three terms, whereas in return, the shop-owner has to pay him a lifespan based on 70% of the final deal value. Additionally, Mu You could purchase unsterilized familiars at market price from his shop.

[You signed a business contract with pet shop owner ’Freeman’. The violating party will automatically lose a thousand years of lifespan, forfeited to the other party.]

[You obtained ’Release of Familiars’.]

Once the deal was done, Mu You clicked on the ’Release of Familiars’. A bone-made short staff appeared in his hand, its entirety emitting a gloomy blue glow. Enigmatic patterns were carved onto the staff body. The top of the staff touted a bone-claw-like ornament.

The use of this item isn’t as simple as sterilizing them by removing their reproductive organs. Instead, it takes advantage of magic to alleviate the creatures’ capability to reproduce while still keeping everything intact. This ensures zero harm to the familiars’ health.

Charming the sterilization staff in his hands for a moment, Mu You couldn’t wait to test it out on an animal.

Jing Moniang had gone out to purchase some special effects makeup for Halloween and hadn’t returned, so Mu You tried it on their cat, Cola, who had ironically just come up from the backyard where they’d been playing in the dirt.

However, halfway across, Cola noticed the staff in Mu You’s hand and abruptly stopped in his tracks. His fur stood on end, and for some reason, he felt a sense of dread from the staff. He didn’t dare approach further and scurried away with his tail between his legs, disappearing under the bed and not coming out again.

...

In the end, Mu You wasn’t able to efficaciously test the new item. Watching as the time struck twelve-thirty, he went out to complete the night watch task and tried to summon the Battle Eagle on the way.

As expected, with the highest attribute of the Vampire skin, Mu You successfully summoned a level fifteen Battle Eagle. Its attack, lifespan, and flight speed had all significantly improved. The only downside is no new ability emerged.

"Next comes the level fifteen bottleneck"

It took almost a month to overcome level ten’s bottleneck with Evolution Light. Level fifteen would likely require even more time.

Mu You didn’t fret over this. After completing the task outside, he returned home, took out his phone once more, and logged back into the game.

At this point, having spent all his action points, Mu You had no intention to mess around any further. He left the pet shop, released the Reconnaissance Beetle, and had it gather some intelligence in town which he could collect the next morning.

After releasing the beetle, just as Mu You was preparing to log out and rest, a new prompt suddenly appeared.

[Pumpkin Lamp Special Effects, trigger!]

[Under the guidance of the Pumpkin Lamp’s green glow, you notice a pair of crimson eyes staring at you from the shadows of a distant alley corner.]

[You quickly lift the lamp and move closer, discovering that hidden in the alley is a hybrid Civet that resembles a Maine Coon cat. It wears a collar on its neck and is apparently someone’s familiar.]

[Civets have the ability to discern between good and evil in humans. It’s staring at you, perhaps sensing your unusual identity.]

[After being discovered by you, the Civet immediately turns to run, disappearing into the alley in an instant.]
