Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children Chapter 258 - 257: Obediently Falling into the Trap

Si Shuo jerked her head up to look at him, then glanced at the cubs and Xu Chi, her face slightly pale. "Gong You, are you saying..."

Gong You pulled her into his arms and sighed, his voice holding a trace of desolation and helplessness for the first ti. "My dear, we ca from the Southern Continent to the Central Continent, and now we’re in Guangshou City.

Although we’re no longer constantly facing a harsh environnt, we still can’t escape the trials of survival.

People co and go, and that in itself is a harsh reality. The cubs and I... we might not all be able to accompany you to the very end."

In that mont, Si Shuo’s heart ached as a stark realization hit her: this was the Beast World Continent.

There were many things she couldn’t asure by human standards. The cubs’ education was, in itself, a form of rapid growth through natural selection.

Xu Chi stepped forward, took her hand, and knelt on one knee to et her gaze. He said with solemn sincerity, "A Shuo, don’t worry. Little Ye and Youyou are the cubs you bore for .

I will do everything in my power to protect them and ensure they grow up safely. You must believe in , and believe in the two little ones, too."

Si Shuo humd in agreent, but then she suddenly rembered. ’My cubs aren’t ordinary! They’ve inherited my Nine Lives Cat destiny, so I don’t need to worry about their safety at all.’

’They’ll definitely beco strong before they run out of their nine lives!’

The weight in her chest lifted, and her heart settled. In an instant, her composure returned as she looked at them. "It’s good that you know. Teach the children well, but don’t forget to improve your own strength. Your wife and the cubs need your protection. It’s a heavy responsibility."

The males nodded solemnly and forcefully. Yes, their small family was growing, and they had to work even harder.

Yin Jiang pressed his lips together, ultimately deciding not to ntion that the Eagle Falcon Clan’s thods for training young were even more brutal, requiring them to push fledglings with newly grown feathers off a cliff...

「In just two days」

The Iron-eating Beast Clan had set up their ga and snack stalls. However, their clan’s territory was rather remote. Other than their tenants and clan mbers, very few other Beastn ca by.

Just as everyone was feeling dejected about another failed business venture, a group of Beastn rushed over.

"I heard from a Hua i Beastman that the Iron-eating Beast Clan has so many eggs they’re practically giving them away? I don’t know if it’s true..."

"A Brow-Patterned Flying Beast was shouting about it too. He said he spent one Level 6 Crystal Stone and got a full sixty eggs! That’s less than two Level 4 Crystal Stones per egg. It’s so cheap!"

"The Gray Pigeon Beastman from our area said that if you buy eggs from the Iron-eating Beast Clan, they’ll teach you delicious ways to preserve them..."

The Iron-eating Beast Clan mbers were all a bit bewildered. ’Why didn’t we know about this?’

Wei Ce, standing to the side, laughed and shouted, "Grandpas, uncles, brothers, we’re open for business!"

Everyone imdiately started smiling and serving the custors.

The Beastn rushed straight for the egg stall. But when they heard that one Level 6 Crystal Stone could only buy twelve eggs, their faces fell, and they didn’t bother listening to the rest before they could get angry and start questioning.

Just then, a White Wolf Beastman darted to the front, deftly handed over a Level 6 Crystal Stone, and rubbed his hands together with a smile. He said to the young female beside him, "I hope the Beast God blesses us so we can win more than twenty eggs.

The Iron-eating Beast Clan is actually raising chickens on Bamboo Forest Mountain! That land is nurtured by Crystal Stones! The chickens there are free-range, eating bugs. Their at is tender and firm, even tastier than wild ones. As long as we win more than twenty eggs, we’ll have hit the jackpot!

Li Hui, you’re a female, so you have better luck. You draw the twelve wooden blocks."

The wooden balls had been too slippery and hard to handle, so they had switched to wooden blocks, which were also easier to burn patterns onto.

The Begonia Rabbit female took a deep breath and drew twelve wooden blocks from the container.

"Two pairs of peaches, two pairs of cucumbers, one pair of suns, one pair of bamboos! Young lady, you get to draw six more blocks! You’ve already got eighteen eggs now, keep it up!"

The onlooking Beastn were a bit confused. How did twelve turn into eighteen just like that?

"A fla! You’ve collected a full set of all the symbols, draw another block! A pair of suns, a pair of flas... Whoa, the last block is a fla, completing another set! Draw one more... Another fla! That’s a pair and a set, draw two more blocks... Congratulations, young lady! You’ve won a total of twenty-five blocks, and that ans twenty-five eggs...!"

After watching for a while, the crowd started to get the gist of it. Those whose interest was piqued and weren’t short on Crystal Stones had their own young females sit down, took out their stones, and started playing.

The ga was novel, and luck played a huge part. It wasn’t just the players; even the onlookers were so engrossed they couldn’t tear themselves away, their hearts rising and falling with every draw.

So unlucky players only received the guaranteed minimum of twenty eggs, while the truly lucky ones walked away with over fifty. Most people, however, won between twenty and thirty eggs, which worked out to three or four Level 4 Crystal Stones per egg—a pretty good price.

Every stall was surrounded by Beastn. The lively atmosphere rivaled the market in the city center, and the Iron-eating Beast Clan mbers were grinning from ear to ear!

’Which family doesn’t produce two or three thousand eggs a day? Eggs don’t last long, and there are still more than two months until the rainy season. It wouldn’t be too late even if we waited until the last month to start stockpiling the chicken, duck, and goose eggs and at.’

The stalls they had rented out to others were free for the first three days. If the stall owners wanted to continue renting, they would have to pay the fee for those first three days.

Many of the Beastn who ca to set up stalls were drawn by the word "free." Besides, there was no space left to set up stalls in the city center. Plus, the area around the Iron-eating Beast Clan’s territory had plenty of people renting from outside the city, so there was so foot traffic. At worst, they could just take advantage of the free period.

But on the very first day, the custor traffic exploded. Everyone was so busy they were practically running on air, grinning so wide their gums were showing. ’We have to pay! We have to pay the rent for these three days. Otherwise, we’re afraid we’ll be kicked out if we’re even a little late.’

Overwhelming promotional tactics, exaggerated advertisents, lively shills, novel marketing strategies, a free-to-start-then-pay model—everywhere you looked, there were winning sales tactics. These were temptations that modern people couldn’t resist or see through, so of course the Beastn fell right into the trap!

As a pregnant woman with a large belly, Si Shuo wasn’t suited for crowded places. She could only stay cooped up at ho, condensing Spirit Plants, drawing Invisibility Talismans and Basic Teleportation Talismans, and painstakingly adapting and transcribing textbooks.

When it ca to talisman making, she still used the simple and crude thod of using the hide and blood of Spiritual Beasts. The Invisibility Talismans she created could be used twenty tis, with each use lasting fifteen minutes. The Basic Teleportation Talisman was a simplified version of the Thousand Miles Positioning Talisman. It allowed for positioning two points within a ten-kiloter radius and could be used for twenty round trips.

Si Shuo also firmly believed that spiritual power was improved bit by bit through daily Cultivation. Every day’s effort was a single step in a thousand-mile journey, a tiny stream that would one day beco a great river!

With their female working so hard, the males didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest, ensuring they completed a certain amount of training every day.
