Chapter 56: Zhou Jiaxin’s Thoughts
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Big Sister Xin, I shall purchase that female Five Fortune Ranchu. Does Big Sister Xin sell high-grade spirit beast flesh?”
After Lin Yuan’s multiple Spirit-Siphon Goldfish purchases, Zhou Jiaxin had made a brief investigation on Lin Yuan. As a result, she had found out that Lin Yuan’s account, Deep Mountain Elder Lin, was also an owner of a fey store.
Zhou Jiaxin had observed it for some time. After Lin Yuan’s store obtained the Normal Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, they would all become elite-grade in a short period of time.
These were Spirit-Siphon Goldfish!
Zhou Jiaxin made a bold guess and was quickly frightened by her own conjecture.
In order to evolve 100 Normal Spirit-Siphon Goldfish to elite-grade within three to five days, one must at least be a Class 3 Creation Master. Of course, Class 2 Creation Masters couldn’t be excluded either.
However, if this was the work of a Class 2 Creation Master, to evolve Spirit-Siphon Goldfish at such a large scale, there must be at least 20 Class 2 Creation Masters.
Nonetheless, Zhou Jiaxin couldn’t understand why a Creation Master would want to evolve Spirit-Siphon Goldfish. Wouldn’t it be better to evolve a few Silver feys instead of spending so much effort to evolve Spirit-Siphon Goldfish?
It didn’t matter what Zhou Jiaxin was guessing as she was certain about something. There must be a Creation Master backing Lin Yuan’s store, and it was highly possible that it was a Class 3 Creation Master.
Class 3 Creation Masters were individuals that even Class 5 stores might not have, and they would most certainly be considered VIP guests.
Zhou Jiaxin had operated her store for many years, and she sold the best quality of spiritual ingredients every time. After so many years of hard work, she had finally reached the standard of a Class 3 Star Web store. This was mainly because she had been suppressing her prices and selling in huge quantities.
Zhou Jiaxin wasn’t able to upgrade her store to Class 4 because she didn’t have a Creation Master’s backing.
Previously, Zhou Jiaxin was only thinking of developing Lin Yuan into her loyal customer, but now, she thought whether she could create a better relationship with Lin Yuan.
She could purchase rare items from Lin Yuan’s store that wouldn’t be available in the market at high prices. That way, she would be able to build the reputation of her store and upgrade it to Class 4. With a larger store space, she would be able to manage it even better.
To manage the Star Web store well had always been Zhou Jiaxin’s persistence. However, she couldn’t find any Creation Master as her backer, and it had been a difficult journey.
Zhou Jiaxin did think of recruiting a Creation Master, however, most of the ones she found were Class 1 ones. Even the conditions Class 1 Creation Masters set were already so high that Zhou Jiaxin couldn’t afford them.
Most of the Creation Masters in Class 5 stores were young talents chosen by the store, and they used resources to nurture the Creation Masters.
Zhou Jiaxin had nurtured young and talented people too, and she wasn’t stingy with the resources. However, they all ended up as failures. Evidently, it wasn’t that easy to produce Creation Masters.
Zhou Jiaxin wanted to import some rare feys from Lin Yuan’s store, but it wasn’t that easy to open this kind of conversation topic.
Even if one wanted to become a bootlicker, they couldn’t simply lick without any reason. It was important to use a method of licking that the boss could accept and to lick without leaving any traces.
After being the owner of a spiritual ingredient store for many years, even the most reserved person would be able to turn the method to recruit Creation Masters into an art.
However, the high-grade spirit beast flesh that Lin Yuan wanted was something that Zhou Jiaxin didn’t have in her store right now. Zhou Jiaxin knew that if she said she didn’t have any and if Lin Yuan required them, he would definitely find others for it.
Zhou Jiaxin didn’t wish for the situation to turn like that. If Lin Yuan sought out other store owners and became their regular customer, wouldn’t she suffer losses?
Therefore, Zhou Jiaxin made a decision and replied: “I do not have any high-grade spirit beast or dimensional lifeform’s flesh. In order to sell high-grade dimensional lifeform’s flesh, a special certificate is required. There are only a few stores that have the certificates. if you wish to buy them, I can recommend you to them.”
Lin Yuan didn’t expect Zhou Jiaxin to be willing to share her contacts with him. Contacts were the livelihood for spiritual ingredients and fey stores. Each store had its own unique contacts, and this was a capital that allowed them to continue surviving.
It didn’t matter for what reason Zhou Jiaxin was willing to share her contacts, Lin Yuan was going to remember this favor.
After seeking for survival in the darkness for many years, Lin Yuan already knew how to be grateful.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Then I shall thank Big Sister Xin. I am now really in urgent need of some high-grade spirit beast flesh or high-grade dimensional lifeform flesh.
Zhou Jiaxin was delighted to see Lin Yuan’s response. She was afraid that Lin Yuan wouldn’t appreciate her help at first. Now that Lin Yuan gave his thanks, it meant that he accepted her favor.
When the conversation was over, Lin Yuan followed Zhou Jiaxin’s instructions and arrived at the recommended Star Web store that didn’t have any banner.
Lin Yuan saw a tall and stalwart man, who was flipping through a book, seated there. He was constantly recording something in the book, as though he was tallying the inventory of the goods.
Sensing that someone was inside, the tall and stalwart man looked up and said, “This isn’t a store, I don’t attend to visitors!”
Lin Yuan quickly responded, “Zhou Jiaxin recommended me to purchase high-grade spirit beast and dimensional lifeform flesh here.”
Upon hearing that it was Zhou Jiaxin’s referral, the tall and stalwart man glanced at Lin Yuan. He contacted Zhou Jiaxin to verify Lin Yuan’s identity before speaking. “Since Jiaxin recommended you, you can call me Big Brother Feng.”
When Lin Yuan saw how cautious the tall and stalwart man was, he already speculated something. This store probably didn’t have the special certificate and was probably an illegal store.
Although the Star Web was a place with great ability for checks and inspections, there were plenty of illegal stores in the Star Web. Each time a store was caught, there would be a corresponding punishment. It was natural for the tall and stalwart man to be sensitive and anxious.
“Big Brother Feng, do you sell high-grade spirit beast flesh here?”
The tall and stalwart man shook his head and said, “I am only able to obtain one batch of high-grade fey flesh every month. Furthermore, those scrap parts couldn’t be treated as spiritual ingredients or used for delicacies. There isn’t a choice of species. One catty of bronze-grade flesh would cost 20,000 Federation dollars, one catty of silver-grade flesh would cost 50,000 Federation dollars, and one catty of gold-grade flesh would cost 1 Radiance dollar. Presently, I have sold out all the goods, and half a year of goods have already been reserved.”
Lin Yuan frowned at the response, but Big Brother Feng added, “It is hard to buy high-grade fey flesh everywhere. After all, high-ranked spirit qi professionals would use fey flesh to feed their carnivorous feys. But if you need dimensional lifeform’s flesh, I have quite the stock, and I can sell them to you for a lower price.”
Lin Yuan’s frown had relaxed at this point.
Since he was feeding them to Red Thorn, either high-grade fey flesh or dimensional lifeform flesh would do. However, high-grade fey flesh would contain more spirit qi than dimensional lifeform flesh.
