Chapter 43 Cost Control
"Wei ...... Venella. The girl replied cautiously.
"Why did you run away all of a sudden?"
"Because...... They said...... There is always a ...... in and out of the upper town."
"Then don't you know that if you run away, you will die?"
"IβI didn't think about it that much......"
Summer Night looked at Venella's neck, there was a long wound on her white neck, which was scratched by Xiu when he forcibly ripped the collar off, and although it didn't cut the large blood vessels, the blood still flowed non-stop.
However, Summer Night had little interest in treating her injuries, and she beckoned to the guards in the distance, who immediately ran respectfully.
"Take her to stop the bleeding, and then get on the boat, don't let her run this time...... Or dead. Summer Night said in an unmistakable tone.
"Yes!"
The two guards responded energetically, grabbing both of Venella's arms.
"I, I...... I don't want ......"
Venella was about to cry again.
"Listenβ" Summer Night approached, reaching out and patting her cheek, "you're not going to die." β
The girl was watched by her, and suddenly did not dare to cry anymore.
"Because you should have died just now, little pet, but you were saved by me who was kind and kind, so your life belongs to me, so you won't die next." Summer Night said.
Despite its unjustified logic, Venyla believed her words.
The girl nodded obediently, and then was pulled away.
"That ......" took a few steps, and Venyla suddenly spoke, "Can you know your name?" β
"Of course not."
After saying this, Summer Night turned to Luca and didn't look behind him again.
β¦β¦
"You're going to save her." Luca said.
"It wasn't me who saved her, it was you."
Despite standing beside Luca, Summer Night's gaze was still looking away, obviously still a little concerned about what had just happened.
"I was going to knock her away, but who knew you wanted to break that collar, so I took the opportunity to help you."
ββ¦β¦β
"Speaking of which, why is that collar so powerful? Like a bomb, aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting others? If I had to design it, it would be just powerful enough to blow my neck off. Summer Night asked again.
"Because it's cheaper."
"Huh?"
"The collar around the pet's neck is a Level 1 'Blast' contract, which is engraved on the collar by the abilities provided by the 'Inscription' contract. Each Level 1 "Demolition" only costs 20 moles, which is already the least powerful tier of the "Demolition" contracts.
"If you want to be less powerful, such as just blowing up your neck, as you said, you have to use another contract "Directional Blast", but a Level 1 "Directional Blast" requires 22 Molds, and in order to ensure that the wearer is killed, at least two Level 1 "Directional Blasts" need to be engraved on each collar, which means that the cost is 44 Magic, which is more than twice as much as using the "Blast" contract. β
ββ¦β¦ It seems reasonable to hear you say that. Xia Ye thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Are you not afraid of accidentally hurting other people?" Like other pets? β
"Because in the eyes of pet buyers, pets are inherently consumables, and the price of some discounted pets is not even as expensive as a collar."
"But...... Is it also possible to injure their owners? β
"Those people in Uptown have signed at least one protective contract, and this little explosion can't hurt them. In the same way, people in Midtown who can afford pets are not too poor, and they generally carry protective contracts. β
"But there are always pet buyers who don't have a protective contract, right?" Summer Night continued to ask unwillingly.
"Yes." Luca nodded slightly, "In that case, they will set the collar on the pet's body to be manually detonated, so that even if the pet resists, they can wait until they don't accidentally hurt themselves before detonating the collar." β
Summer Night: "......... Ah, took off. β
In the square, the float boat full of pets slowly left the ground, driven by the propellers, and flew in the direction of the upper town, the eyes of the summer night chased it, and after a while, it turned to Luca and said, "I should go back, thank you for taking me to see the pets today." β
"Okay." Luca said, pulling out a piece of sticky note from her pocket and handing it to Summer Night.
"This is tomorrow's meeting and location."
"Okay, then, see you tomorrow morning."
"See you tomorrow morning."
β¦β¦
Summer Night rode a rented broom and flew all the way back to Lilian's house, and although noon was not the rush hour, the return trip still took about an hour, and the little puff was inevitably tortured again.
Be sure to buy a super comfortable broom in the afternoon!! Summer Night swore in my heart again.
β¦β¦
"I'm back."
"Welcome back, Sister Summer Night, lunch is ready."
"I already smell the scent, what's lunch today?"
"Fried whale steak with worm scale powder, served with vine mashed potatoes."
Probably similar to black pepper fried steak with mashed potatoes...... Summer Night thought silently, after eating a few meals cooked by Lilian, she had a general understanding of the various ingredients used in the cooking of this world.
β¦β¦
"After I finished talking to Luca in the morning, I asked her to take me to see my pet."
During the small talk during the meal, Xia Ye said casually.
"That's ......"
Lillian answered, and after a few more seconds, she suddenly reacted:
"Hey, hey?!!"
"So, does Sister Summer Night already know what a pet is?"
"Of course." Summer Night said while cutting the medium-rare whale steak with a dinner knife: "The street we went to was full of all kinds of pet shops, and I visited several of them, and then I happened to meet a transport ship transporting pets to Uptown, so I went to have a look." β
She didn't say anything about saving a pet, and certainly didn't mention "healing" Luca.
After hearing this, Lillian let out a long "oh ......" and asked, "What do you think of Sister Summer Night?" β
"The overall level is not bad, especially the one shipped to Uptown, which is quite beautiful. But ......"
"But?"
"But it's still a little worse than Lillian."
"Hmph, I'm not a pet." Lillian protested with her cheeks puffed out.
But Xia Ye didn't answer, just looked at her, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.
β¦β¦
"Compulsory flight insurance, broom insurance, preferential gift packages, plus the price of the broom itself, a total of 3424 moles." In the broom shop, the good-looking and well-dressed sales manager took out a crystal ball and calculated it for a while, and then gave the final offer to Xia Ye.
This is a BRM broomstick franchise store in the middle area, and because of the summer night, I asked to buy a broom that is "super comfortable to sit on, and at the same time to fly fast...... But the most important thing is the "broom" that is comfortable, so Lillian brought her here.
The BRM430 broom is the latest product launched by BRM this year. BRM, which stands for "Bavelia Magic Drive Core Manufactory LLC", is one of the most famous broom manufacturers in Debussota, producing brooms of high quality and of course quite expensive.
