After careful examination and appraisal, the mushroom lizard was sold for 600 crystal coins.
After deducting the 2000 used to acquire the Mushroom Poison Antibody, Li Pu was left with 1600 crystal coins.
What surprised Li Pu a little was that such a large mushroom lizard was actually worth less than those glow spiders.
For this, Mr. Tu specifically explained his confusion.
The reason glow spiders are more expensive than mushroom lizards mainly cos down to two points.
The first point is that glow spiders, due to their luminescent nature and physique, play a relatively important role in so research projects, aning they have considerable value in experintal research.
This is sothing most F-level magical beasts do not possess.
Ordinarily, live F-level magical beasts might only sell for 20 to 30 crystal coins.
As for the second point, it’s equally important.
Which is that this batch of glow spiders is alive.
This is the biggest difference between glow spiders and mushroom lizards.
If it’s a living and completely healthy mushroom lizard, the school can offer a price of 5000 since it is, after all, a D-level magical beast.
If it goes further to be a mushroom lizard cub, then it can sell starting at 30,000.
Because the growth level of wild magical beasts is far less than that of summoned beasts; for example, a magical beast like a mushroom lizard being able to grow to LV4 usually ans it’s already lived for 6-7 years and is about to reach maturity.
Why the cub’s price is so expensive is, of course, because it involves one of the ways to obtain a summoned beast: taming.
Taming refers to directly taming a real-world magical beast without summoning and then converting it into a summoned beast through a contractual thod.
Under this thod, the success rate of contracting a cub is higher and it holds more potential.
In conclusion, Li Pu exchanging this mushroom lizard for 600 crystal coins was very good indeed.
Because the top price for this level of mushroom lizard corpse would be just 800 crystal coins.
However, tonight’s experience gave Li Pu new ideas.
Selling magical beasts might very well be a profitable endeavor.
Especially for magical beasts like glow spiders, which are easy to acquire in large quantities and have an attractive average price.
If he could catch several dozen each night, he felt he wouldn’t have to worry about crystal coins at all.
Nonetheless, the reality is harsh; Mr. Tu might have sensed his thoughts and promptly poured cold water on them.
The reason Li Pu could catch so many glow spiders tonight was purely down to good luck.
If it were a common magical beast corpse, it wouldn’t attract so many glow spiders.
As one of the rare D-level magical beasts in the southern forest, the mushroom lizard’s at could naturally attract glow spiders.
If he wanted to replicate the sa scenario again, he would need to prepare at least an E-level large magical beast corpse that isn’t smaller than the mushroom lizard.
This would undeniably be a difficult task for Li Pu.
Also, thanks to the mushroom lizard being a lone magical beast with no particularly special abilities,
Otherwise, irrespective of encountering them again, he might not even be able to defeat them if he did.
"Since you’re already here, would you like to tour our products?"
After explaining everything, Mr. Tu extended an invitation to Li Pu.
No matter how he managed to slip out of school or deal with that mushroom lizard,
Considering the outco, he did have a bit of appreciation for this freshman.
Clearly, a cripple achieving sothing ordinary freshn couldn’t.
After all, the product area was ant to be open for initial access anyways; welcoming custors a bit early wasn’t a problem.
The trading station is a trading station; besides purchasing things, they naturally sell as well.
"Oh?"
Li Pu hadn’t expected this, imdiately becoming interested.
"In that case, Xiao Liu, why not show him around."
"If sothing catches his eye, sell it to him by all ans."
"Moreover, you can directly record my na for a 10% discount."
"As for , I’ll go to sleep."
"Ti spares no one, getting old here."
After instructing the girl on duty, Mr. Tu leisurely walked back inside.
"Okay, Mr. Tu."
"Then, fellow student, please follow ."
The girl addressed as Xiao Liu gestured for Li Pu to follow, with a hint of envy on her face at the sa ti.
Admittedly, she, as a staff mber, could also enjoy a discounted purchase price of 10% off.
But having a discount recorded in Mr. Tu’s na indicated the student had Mr. Tu’s favor.
She had been working at the trading station for four to five years, and such a situation was rare.
"Most of our products here are actually creations from the school’s research departnt."
"You can consider them as special products of Xidu University."
"Another small portion is regularly procured by the school from outside."
"They can be seen as goods circulating frequently in the outer summoner market."
"Of course, the school does this only so you won’t need to travel far from school."
"No markup is charged in between."
Leading the way, Xiao Liu explained to Li Pu.
Due to special protective powers, magical beasts/summoned beasts are hardly affected by traditional technology.
Traditional technology refers to technology from before the world’s transformation.
Only new technological products combining magical beast/summoned beast theories can effectively work in battles against them.
Common products include instrunts, summoner equipnt, summoned beast skills, breeding materials, and the like.
And with Xiao Liu’s introductions, Li Pu beca a bit eager.
What he cares about most, in fact, are summoned beast skills.
Although with the summoner talent Friend of Magical Beasts, scarecrows theoretically need not worry about lacking good skills.
Li Pu’s true interest in summoned beast skills lies in himself.
He desperately needs to enhance his own thods; the mushroom lizard incident proved that only by becoming stronger himself could he more easily collect relevant items.
So under the guidance of Sister Xiao Liu, one person and one scarecrow followed, passing through the hall to the elevator, and then taking the elevator.
What surprised Li Pu was that this elevator did not go up but went down.
"Our product area was originally upstairs."
Noting Li Pu’s little surprise, Sister Xiao Liu explained with a smile.
"As it’s not yet the start of school, the upstairs area hasn’t been cleaned and organized."
"So the products aren’t moved upstairs yet, and we have to visit the warehouse instead."
"But this might be better because you can see it more directly."
"Of course, as Mr. Tu said, it’s not limited to a tour."
"With the freshman welco gift, you must have at least 3000 crystal coins now, right?"
"If you find sothing you like, just buy it directly."
[Ding!]
With her words concluding, the elevator reached the bottom floor.
The wide array of goods made Li Pu’s eyes light up.
