Chapter 32: The Demon Pet
The location of Cageren's gun tuning shop is extremely hidden, and few people can find this gun tuning shop located in the most marginal corner of the second floor of the garage unless they are deliberately searching. Even the signboard is very hidden, and if you don't pay attention, you will think that this is a small shop that has closed down.
It took less than three minutes for the people here to replace the barrel for Li Mochen. It is worth mentioning that the barrel has indeed been strengthened and modified, and the bullet is slightly faster than the original.
However, after this, Li Mochen did not return to the Black Python firearms retail store for the first time to test the gun. Instead, he bought some medicinal herbs from various stalls on the second floor, and then looked at several magic pet shops in the garage, but unfortunately they were all disappointed. In the end, he held on to the last glimmer of hope and came to the first floor of the garage, a large magic pet store located next to the upper and lower passages, covering an area of more than 80 parking spaces.
Business here is excellent, even better than the black python gun shop, where the dozen or so employees are too busy. After Li Mochen came in, no one came to receive him, so he had to look around inside.
And in just a moment, Li Mochen's heart secretly bred helplessness.
Most of the pets here are small magical creatures that are in their infancy, or simply have not yet hatched, and the rest are expensive fantasy species such as elemental elves and goblins, among which there are even revenants and dark creatures. And all of them are in a state of sleep, or locked in a cage, or sealed in a large or small tempered flask.
Li Mochen recognized nearly four-fifths of the types of monsters, although he hadn't finished reading the book "A Preliminary Study of Magical Creatures" yet, but the original owner's knowledge in this area was still acceptable.
What is reassuring is that the magic pets here are all clearly priced, and they don't look too pit. But it also made it difficult for him, and the slightly stronger ones in it were priced at no less than five thousand gold guilders.
After about two minutes, a female shopping guide finally walked over: "Guest, do you want a magic pet partner? What kind of attribute do you need? Can you tell me? What are your needs in terms of specific abilities, and what level?"
After stealthily glancing at the things Li Mochen was carrying, his attitude became more enthusiastic, and he smiled: "Your age, you shouldn't have contracted a demon pet yet, right? I recommend that you give preference to elemental spirits, or the pro-demon type among magical creatures, which will help you practice magic and gather fighting energy. It's peacetime now, after all, and battles below level 10 are rareβ"
"Stop!"
Li Mochen forcibly interrupted the words of the shopping guide, and then said hopelessly: "What I want is one with a combat power of level three or above, preferably one that has mastered the ability of the fire system and has a certain development potential." There is no requirement for the type, and the price must be less than 5,000 gold dong. If not, then I guess I can go. β
In fact, Li Mochen was already ready to leave. The conditions he put forward felt ridiculous and excessive.
"Less than five thousand gold?"
The female shopping guide lady was obviously stunned, and sure enough, she was embarrassed: "This is difficult, well~ It's not without us in the store, but customers, this kind usually has all kinds of hidden dangers." Once we have sold, we are generally not responsible. β
Is there really one?
Li Mochen was interested: "Can you let me see?"
"Then please come with me. β
The shopping guide immediately took him and walked to the south corner of the store, and then pointed to the whole row of animal cages and tempered glass bottles in front of her: "These are all yes, you can choose one from them that suits your heart." I suggest you choose this 'Fire-Eyed Eagle', which is the safest of all the magical creatures here, not only for the fire type. Of course, it has a good chance of escaping from you. β
Li Mochen's face became strange, he looked at the 'goods' in this row fixedly, and then asked half-incredulously: "Are you sure that their prices are all below five thousand gold? If I remember correctly, this Hungarian pterosaurus should be one of the dragon species?"
Although in the commentary of "A Preliminary Study of Magical Creatures", this winged blood dragon only has a meager dragon bloodline, and its limit in adulthood can only reach level fourteen. But after all, this is one of the dragon species, and there is a certain possibility of evolution.
And the pure-bred dragon clan is basically a demigod when they become adults. Among them, the strength is particularly powerful, and it can even be compared with the gods.
And what is very surprising is that next to this winged fire dragon, there is also a subspecies of unicorn Nighthorned Winged Horse, and a subspecies of immortal bird Blood-streaked sparrow-
"That's really a dragon species. β
The shopping guide was puzzled at first, and then said: "It seems that you don't know much about magic pets, like this subspecies of mythical creatures, the real value is their eggs, or young beasts that have not yet opened their eyes, like this has hatched, or has opened their eyes, and has seen their parents, it is difficult for ordinary people to tame them." After all, at the moment, there is no magic pet spirit contract that can be 100% sure that they will not turn against their masters. β
Li Mochen is still clear about this knowledge, mythical creatures will never be slaves. Only in some very special circumstances will it become the magic pet of mankind.
And the subspecies of mythical creatures, although only a little bloodline remains, is not something that humans can easily subdue.
"Those who can really suppress their instincts are basically powerful outlaws. But for them, it is better to directly subdue an adult giant beast, and no one has the patience to wait for them to grow up slowly. β
The shopping guide continued: "In addition, their characteristics are very obvious, and there are some problems with their origins, even if we forge a magic pet license for you, it is useless. So if you're sure to buy it, you have to be very careful when you use it later, and I mean in every way, in every sense of the word, and it's best not to take them on the street. β
Li Mochen blinked, and then pointed at one of the tempered glass jars without hesitation: "I'm very interested in this, yes, it's this ghost fire dragon, I want the lowest price in your store." β
"Sorry, that's the lowest. I can only sell it to you for 3999 gold dong, I can't reduce the price anymore, why don't you go to another store and have a look?"
The shopping guide seemed to be extremely determined: "Guest, I believe that in the entire Laurel Street black market, there will be no better and cheaper service than our home." Even if it is a ghost fire dragon at the same price, our maintenance of it is not comparable to other small shops. β
Li Mochen couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was very picky, but in the case of information asymmetry, it seemed that he could only compromise.
This was probably the best choice, and he had seen it in other magic pet stores before, but he was disappointed.
First, these shops did not have the breed he wanted, and secondly, the price was too high, and the price of the same night-horned winged horse, and the other was priced at 8,000 gold guilders, which obviously treated him as a sheep to be slaughtered.
"Okay, but I need a shade tag. β
As far as he knows, if a magical creature has not been registered with the Magical Creature Management Office and wears the corresponding license plate, it will often be hunted down by the police patrolling the streets as soon as it takes to the streets. This kind of license is often referred to as a 'dog tag' by people in the magic world.
And one of the abilities of this ghostly fire dragon he wants is that it can escape into the shadows, almost invisible. But if this little thing still has a conspicuous chain card, then this stealth ability is equal to nothing.
Although it is only a forged license, it is better than nothing.
"That's fineβ"
The shopping guide smiled like a flower, although the amount of this transaction was small, but this was a performance: "I'll prepare it for you later, do you still need a magic pet contract?" We can provide you with the best, worth three thousand two hundred gold shields, which can minimize the possibility of the magic pet backlashing." β
"Excuse me!"
Li Mochen shook his head, he didn't have the money to buy this thing, the key was that he didn't need it.
