Chapter 8 Buying Unicorns
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows, "Mount? Isn't it okay to have an air or hover? ”
"My dear master, the most commonly used thing in the interstellar farm is the biological mount, human vehicles are completely unsuitable in difficult terrain, and the sound of machines can easily arouse their alarm, so only the most primitive methods can be the most effective capture. This is also the current common practice. Of course, we still need some transporters. ”
The housekeeper's advice came from Chopin's painful experience, and he had to remind Xiao Lin.
"What about flying machines? Isn't that safer? ”
"The many birds of prey in the sky will tear the aircraft to shreds. The aircraft is like a bright star in the sky, and it will always be the focus of attention of those birds of prey. ”
"Well, butler, maybe you're right, we need to prepare a lot, and we need to hire a few hunters. Let's check it out tomorrow! ”
The next day, the housekeeper made a list and handed it to Xiao Lin to look at.
After looking at the people for a while, Xiao Lin said to the butler, "Does the mount choose a unicorn?" Aren't Pegasi and griffons capable of flying and having a better physique? ”
"Yes, in the early stage of the wild ranch, the mount is actually not so particular, as long as you run fast and have good endurance, of course, it would be great if you can have a little self-defense ability, ordinary ones only need about five thousand star coins, compared to the price of tens of thousands of Pegasi and griffins, unicorns are more cost-effective."
"You said that the average unicorn is only 5,000 star coins? So cheap? ”
What Xiao Lin saw on Skynet was tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands of prices.
"What the master wants to say is those unicorns with pure blood, just like the Flame Rooster is famous in the Flame Star Domain, the most famous unicorn is born in the Light Star Domain, the unicorns that have been illuminated by the Light Star for a long time do have a certain strength in physique and appearance, and there is a selection competition that attracts the attention of the whole universe every year, coupled with the propaganda that spares no effort, this is why there is such a high price. If it's just a substitute, there's no need to be so extravagant. ”
"So let's do it, are we going to the cycling park to buy it?"
"Well, just go over and pick it, counting the potential attrition, we probably need a dozen or so unicorns."
"Is there any famous cycling in Azure Star?"
The housekeeper shook his head, "The riding grounds of Azure Star are all sold to those people in the city base to watch and play, they are good-looking but their endurance and speed are not good at all, we can buy them there in the Utopian Town on the Utopian Star of B103, the wild farms of many nearby planets, and the unicorns of the captive ranches are all purchased there, and several time-honored brands in it have a good reputation on Skynet." ”
Xiao Lin in Utuo Town would only pass by when he stopped, but he didn't expect that there were several large-scale cycling parks here.
As soon as I entered, the salesman of the cycling field greeted me warmly, a fat man with a beard.
The salesmen in other industries are all young and beautiful girls, but the cycling field is special, and they are five big and three rough men.
After understanding Xiao Lin's intentions, the fat man led them to a clearing, full of free-range mounts.
There are not a few speed mounts such as the galloping ostrich and the Xunfeng leopard, and there are a few white, rib-winged Pegasus and vulture-headed griffins at the far end, which Xiao Lin couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Sir, that Pegasus is the treasure of our town, and I will take it away immediately with 500,000 star coins."
The fat salesman seemed to see Xiao Lin's eagerness and said with a smile.
The housekeeper coughed and said, "We want to buy a dozen unicorns, please take us to see them." ”
Xiao Lin came back to his senses and sighed in his heart, there is still not enough money, and the waist pole is not hard enough, otherwise he would have to buy such a divine horse's mount.
When you come to the place where the unicorns are, hundreds of unicorns are lying or lying down, resting freely on the grass, the scene is spectacular, there are many small robots working back and forth, and the staff of the cycling park are meticulously maintaining the unicorns.
The body is a deer body, but it is covered with scale armor, the four hooves are like horseshoe, the tail is a long flick tail, the end is a tuft of hair, the mane between the neck rushes forward, and the head is a slightly hideous beast head, quite a kind of ancient legend of the unicorn "dragon head, deer body, horse hooves, dragon scales, lion tail" of the visual sense, the only difference is that there is a sharp horn on the top of the head.
Unicorns are mostly cyan, yellow and dark brown, and very few will have solid colors such as silver-white, purple jade and jade, those are the so-called best unicorns, and they are extremely handsome.
Adult unicorns stand about a meter tall, and some of the larger ones reach two meters.
Of course, from Xiao Lin's point of view, the unicorns in this cycling park are all beautiful and have a strong physique, and they even want to buy them back.
However, the housekeeper reminded Xiao Lin that there are many unicorns here, and the quality is naturally uneven, so you must be careful not to be cheated by the store and buy inferior mounts.
Xiao Lin understood.
Although the housekeeper is just an intelligent life, his appearance and thinking are no different from human beings, and others naturally rarely see any clues, after all, a young man who looks ordinary is wandering around with an S-class intelligent life that starts with a cost of tens of millions, is it possible?
"We have three grades here, namely 5,000 star coins per head, 8,000 star coins and more than 10,000 stars, the first two grades you fancy will be taken at this price, and more than 10,000 will need to be discussed in detail."
The fat salesman said the price.
"This head is a little old, and there are still some old injuries on my legs, so I'm afraid my speed won't work."
"Although this head is strong, it is a little overweight, and the fat is excessive, which is not suitable."
The butler looked at them one by one, the physical information and various indicators of these unicorns were exposed in his eyes, and there was no secret at all, and the corners of the fat salesman's mouth twitched, and at a glance, he knew that he had met an expert.
Generally speaking, the 5,000 and 8,000 stalls will be mixed with certain defective and superior products to facilitate bundled sales, after all, there are few buyers who come to buy a unicorn alone.
And sometimes, some real connoisseurs come over and pick up all the high-quality products in these low-grade grades, Xiao Lin and the housekeeper undoubtedly belong to this situation.
Almost hundreds of unicorns were looked at by the housekeeper, touching their legs, breaking the horns on the top of their heads, and finally picked out eight unicorns from the 5,000 star coin grade and five unicorns from the 8,000 star coin grade.
The fat salesman was helpless, daring to love the best unicorns in the low-grade price range in this cycling park were all selected by one person, he looked at the housekeeper with a strange face, and said how long these eyes are, why are the eyes so poisonous! This single business cycling field is not to mention making money, and it is already quite good if it does not lose money.
It's a pity that he doesn't know that the butler's eyes are equipped with a sophisticated scanning system, and unless it is a real unicorn, a unicorn will not be difficult for him.
