Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Pet Price War Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Pet Price War Tian Xun had given Lin Shen a task, and that was to spend money.

She also knew that Lin Shen couldn’t earn money, so she only entrusted him with the task of spending it.

The responsibility of selling resources to earn money was handled by elder sister Lin Miao.

The Dark Bird Temple had also been discovered on the Giant Ring Star.

Both resource selling and purchasing could be completed via Commerce Star, which was now extremely popular throughout the cosmic.

Lin Shen’s task was to keep an eye on the trade zone on Commerce Star.

As long as the materials they needed were available at a price lower than they had previously anticipated, he was to buy them.

Lin Shen pulled up a chair and sat in front of a stone platform, with Xiao Yu beside him massaging his legs, while he continuously browsed the trade zone.

There were just too many items in the trade zone, but fortunately, Tian Xun and elder sister had put together a list for him.

All he needed to do was to search for the items on the list and compare prices.

Lin Shen had strongly requested this job himself.

If he didn’t come here, Tie would be pestering him to comprehend the cosmic law.

It wasn’t that Lin Shen wasn’t trying, he just genuinely couldn’t grasp the existence of the law.

“First, let’s get the Base Mutation Rate up to one hundred percent.” Lin Shen remarked, sipping on the Base Mutation Fluid while he continued to look through the trade zone.

Xiao Yu watched him with gritted teeth.

Lin Shen was drinking Immortal Level Base Mutation Fluid, and although Xiao Yu wanted some, he was asked to provide service in exchange, and he could barely restrain himself from leaping up and smacking Lin Shen across the face.

However, after weighing his options and realizing he couldn’t defeat Lin Shen, Xiao Yu could only keep the thought to himself and resignedly continue massaging Lin Shen’s legs with his head bowed.

“The price elder sister has set is too low; we can’t buy anything at all.” Lin Shen had been looking for several hours, and the price of none of the materials had reached the price point set by elder sister and Tian Xun.

Due to the Celestial Race’s rebellion, the prices of various materials had soared, which was readily apparent in the Commerce Star trade zone.

“Pet price battles…

What’s this?” Lin Shen browsed absentmindedly, suddenly coming across a pet trade zone that was a bit special.

Lin Shen looked with interest for a while and realized this trade zone was different from the usual ones.

Within this area, various pets engaged in battles, showcasing their strengths to potentially increase their value.

The pet price battles were divided into several different levels.

Pets of Base Mutation Level, Ascension Level, Nirvana Level, and Immortal Level could select their battles in different areas to increase their own estimated value.

Naturally, the higher the valuation, the higher the ranking would be.

However, valuation was one thing; what truly determined the value of a pet was market demand.

Lin Shen studied this for a while and found another benefit to the pet price battles.

Each victory would yield a varying amount of Commerce Star Coin rewards.

The Commerce Star Coins were not issued by the Commerce Star platform, but those who wanted to participate in the pet price battles had to pay some Commerce Star Coins to allow their pets to compete.

If their pets won, they could receive a portion of the Commerce Star Coins paid by the opponent.

The higher the level of the pet, the more Commerce Star Coins had to be paid.

Lin Shen looked over the costs briefly and discovered that Base Mutation Level pet price battles were actually free.

Ascension Level battles cost one cent in Commerce Star Coin, Nirvana Level cost one dime, and Immortal Level cost one Commerce Star Coin.

The Commerce Star platform was clearly making a profit, as the winning pet could only take half of the money, but at least the money paid was returned.

What Lin Shen cared about wasn’t this small amount of money, but the fact that you could place bets in these price battles.

Lin Shen saw some pets participating in price battles marked with a ten Commerce Star Coin bet.

If you could beat that pet, you would receive an additional ten Commerce Star Coins paid by the opponent.

Of course, if you wanted to challenge that pet, you also had to first front ten Commerce Star Coins.

If you won, you got your money back; if you lost, the money became the other person’s.

Fortunately, the Commerce Star platform didn’t take a cut from these bets, which was somewhat decent of them.

This discovery left Lin Shen overjoyed, as the money seemed easy to earn.

Lin Shen turned his attention towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu’s face changed instantly, as he already saw shamelessness and greed in Lin Shen’s eyes.

“Ahem, Xiao Yu, you should know how difficult it is to run a household these days.

Especially for a man like me, with elders above and children below, who has to think about how to feed and clothe a family as soon as I open my eyes every day.”
Lin Shen continued with a sigh, “You see, every one of our family members is good at spending money and has an incredibly good appetite.

Fei Zai is just a lazy bum who does nothing but eat and drink.

Death Powder is another glutton, all she does is eat and sleep, can you believe that?

Sigh, I have it so hard, and you’re the only one in our family that gives me some peace of mind.”
In Xiao Yu’s mind: “This is none of my damn business.

I don’t eat or drink your stuff.

I have to massage your legs just to get a drink of Immortal Liquid, and you’re telling me all this?”
Xiao Yu dared not say it out loud, so he simply held his tongue.

“You know what, Xiao Yu, how about this – you go fight in the price battles and we earn some money to improve our living.

Afterwards, I’ll find something nice for you to strengthen yourself,” Lin Shen said.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was unmoved, his eyes darted around before he continued, “I remember that Tian Xun collected quite a few Reincarnation Ashes.

I’ve long wanted to give them to you, but Tian Xun said she wanted to build a house, and we don’t have the money, so we could only trade the Reincarnation Ashes for materials.

No matter what I said, she wouldn’t give them to me.

Luckily, I was persistent and managed to prevent her from selling them, planning to buy them back for you once we earned money.”
At this point, Lin Shen’s face was full of embarrassment, “You know I’m naturally dumb and not good at making money…

sigh, what am I going to do?”
“Why the hell are you saying so much?

You just want me to go fight in the price battles and earn money for you, right?” Xiao Yu said, pouting.

“That’s one way to put it, we need money to exchange for the Reincarnation Ashes for you,” Lin Shen replied.

“Just tell me straight, how much money do you have to earn before you’re willing to give me the Reincarnation Ashes?” Xiao Yu asked, completely unmoved, his tone frosty.

“Tian Xun said that one thousand Commerce Star Coins could exchange for one Reincarnation Ash,” Lin Shen replied.

“One hundred coins per piece,” Xiao Yu countered, extending one finger.

“Eight hundred, I really can’t go any lower; I still have to beg Tian Xun about this,” Lin Shen bargained.

“One hundred,” Xiao Yu insisted.

“Seven hundred it is then; I’ll put my old face on the line to ensure I get it for you,” Lin Shen negotiated.

“One hundred…

Just do it…

Or don’t.

I couldn’t care less…

go by yourself…” Xiao Yu said coldly.

“Alright then, I’ll go the extra mile for you.

First you earn the money, and then I’ll have what I need to negotiate with Tian Xun,” Lin Shen agreed, seeing how adamant Xiao Yu was.

After obtaining Xiao Yu’s consent, Lin Shen sent him into the price battle, paying the fee and choosing to challenge a Nirvana Level pet “Great Power Heavenly Dragon” with a one hundred Commerce Star Coin bet.
