Hu Tuzhi raised his eyebrows, sowhat surprised: "You know about this type of chanical Spirit Beast? Although they’re not considered rare, most chanical Spirit Marrow Liquid lives inside and outside the distant Federation Country borders, with almost no distribution in Great Xia."
Lin Guang spoke honestly: "I once yearned for it."
This wasn’t an excuse, nor was it so secret known only to Lin Guang; it was simply a combination he really used to complete a challenge in his past life.
Among the publicly revealed Evolutionary Path for this Spirit Beast, there’s a route that evolves into a giant robot or a drivable ch, with the Spirit Master enhancing and driving from inside, which is very reasonable — practically a Spiritual chanic.
Incidentally, even without evolving, it can be shaped into a chanical maid according to the Spirit Master’s Preference.
Soon, the contract was drafted. To show sincerity, Hu Tuzhi did not require Lin Guang to do anything in the contract—this saved Lin Guang from having to co up with excuses—it only unilaterally restricted Hu Tuzhi from disclosing "information related to the White Phoenix Parrot obtained from Lin Guang" to others, or from implying to others in any way, and Ke Wenjie, being professional, blocked all possibilities in the contract.
After the contract was printed, Ke Wenjie raised his hand and touched the badge symbolizing a notary on his chest; a faint light flashed, and a statue about two or three ters tall fell beside him.
Clearly, that badge is a Spatial Spiritual Artifact.
The statue is stone-made, looking sowhat aged, with a crouching giant dog carved on it, appearing peaceful, half-closed eyes, as if it’s snoozing.
People call it "Virtue Dog," Tier Eight Spirit Beast... or rather, Holy Beast.
Having signed an alliance with Great Xia, it counts as one of Great Xia’s guardian deities, disliking people who are "unfilial, unbrotherly, disloyal, untrustworthy, impolite, unjust, immodest, or shaless."
This statue contains a trace of the Virtue Dog’s Will; if anyone violates the oath made in its presence or breaches the contract, as long as they’re within Great Xia borders, they will face its punishnt.
The punishnt asures are varied, such as the Affinity with canine Spirit Beasts will be forcibly reduced to zero, and the Virtue Dog will ntally project avatars—commonly known as Angry Dogs or Evil Dogs—to pursue the betrayer. The greater the gains from betrayal and the damage caused to others, the more ferociously it pursues, until the betrayer pays an equivalent price (judged by the Virtue Dog). If soone intervenes to obstruct, they’ll also be marked by the Virtue Dog.
Swearing in front of the Virtue Dog, one could say it’s the highest-spec contract under harmless conditions, it’s just that when drafting the contract or making an oath, words must be very precise, as nobody wants to be inexplicably targeted by Angry Dogs.
As Hu Tuzhi pressed his thumb onto the contract, the expression on the Virtue Dog statue’s face seed to "co alive" for a mont. It lazily sniffed, as if morizing Hu Tuzhi’s scent.
The contract was completed, Ke Wenjie tidied up the docunts and left the scene, while Hu Tuzhi also let out a long breath, first gallantly swiping his card on the machine held by Fu Fuyou, securing the Skill Crystal of Blue Grade, then looked expectantly at Lin Guang.
This place was crowded, clearly not a good place to exchange important information, so Lin Guang exchanged contact information with Hu Tuzhi, agreeing to communicate via Great Xia’s official website.
Hu Tuzhi also expressed understanding and, suppressing his excitent, bid farewell to Lin Guang; he still had to return and conduct a more detailed inspection of Wang Dawei’s White Phoenix Parrot.
After Lin Guang signed the contract, showing he acknowledged having to return it in three months, the "Locksmith" of the mall unlocked the Spirit Pattern Lock on the display cabinet, and that pale white, semi-transparent Crystal finally ca into Lin Guang’s hands.
Whether it was Lin Guang’s misconception or not, when handing the Crystal to Lin Guang, Fu Fuyou and that Locksmith’s deanor seed a bit nuanced towards Lin Guang, like expectation, or watching for amusent, or maybe both.
Vishdair peeked curiously: "So this is the Skill Crystal you ntioned? What skill?"
"Explosion Fist, it’s considered the signature move of a Nine-Star master, Blue Grade."
"Hiss..." She suddenly widened her eyes and sucked in a breath, "The sa Level as that bird? Twenty-five thousand di eggs?!"
"If you want to calculate it that way, it should be about the sa price."
Goodness, learning a word makes you act all dramatic, but matters involving food are never forgotten.
Lin Guang, feeling disappointed yet amused, decided to tease Vishdair. His expression slightly serious, he said in a deep tone: "Exactly. So starting today, we need to tighten our belts. Forget about barbecue buffets, not even di eggs."
"Rip-off store! This must be a rip-off! I want a refund!"
Vishdair shouted loudly, seemingly ready to find Fu Fuyou to reason—even completely ignoring she couldn’t utter a word—Lin Guang instinctively raised his hand to put it on her shoulder, yet was taken along quite a distance.
No choice, the physical strength difference between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts is that enormous.
After so effort, Lin Guang finally explained that the Skill Crystal was gifted by Prof. Hu, it was free, totally a windfall.
"..."
Vishdair looked flabbergasted, sizing up Lin Guang, with an expression similar to Miaomiao’s when she knew he could cook, clicking her tongue in wonder, "Being currished like this, seems I really landed a big shot."
"Stop with the flattery." Lin Guang rolled his eyes at her, "If currying favor with , then dinner is barbecue buffet."
After their interaction, Fu Fuyou ca forward again, forcibly pulling the corners of his mouth into a barely ’friendly’ smile, which wasn’t much more pleasant than crying.
"...Sir... oh no, young master, do you have any other needs?"
Lin Guang, knowing the misunderstanding, explained: "I’m just a normal high school student."
"Ah?" Fu Fuyou was slightly taken aback, then nodded like a pecking chick, "Yes, yes, you’re just a normal high school student."
Clearly, he completely misunderstood Lin Guang as so young master from a great family who plays dumb to fool others.
Giving up explaining, Lin Guang switched to saying: "I want to see the Spatial Spiritual Artifact."
Having earned his first fortune from Wang Dawei, Lin Guang now had the leeway to buy this "Divine Artifact" essential for Transmigrators.
"Alright, this way please." Fu Fuyou smiled and led the way, soon arriving at the Spiritual Artifact zone.
Spiritual Artifacts, equipnt crafted by Miracle Masters focusing on Spirit Casting, possess various amazing Abilities, broadly categorized into offensive, defensive, or auxiliary types, can be understood to so extent as external Spirit Pattern products, with Spatial Spiritual Artifacts naturally being in the auxiliary category.
"Good eye!"
Seeing Lin Guang’s gaze fixed on a display cabinet featuring a green Jade Pendant engraved with a pixiu, Fu Fuyou raised a thumb in praise: "Pixiu Jade Token, Tier Three Spatial Spiritual Artifact, its space asures approximately 27 cubic ters. Only delivered this morning, a piece from the Wenyu Studio established by Five-Star Miracle Master Wen Wufeng old master, quite in demand, will likely sell out within the next two days."
