54 Repetitive Choices
“But I want you to help me pick one.” Aloy smiled coyly and played with a strand of her hair. She was gazing at Shen Fei with an innocent expression.
‘With Shen Fei’s luck, the spirit beasts he picked would definitely be much better than the ones I pick.’
Seeing that Shen Fei was still hesitant, Aloy whispered into his ear, “How about this: I won’t let you help me choose for free. I’ll give you an extra selection fee of 500,000 Yuan. How about it?”
‘500,000 Yuan?’ Shen Fei nodded his head without thinking.
Helping her pick a spirit beast would earn him 500,000 Yuan. That was much more than what those other Beastmasters could earn.
Unfortunately, Aloy only wanted him to pick one, otherwise, he would have made a real fortune tonight.
“Then tell me, what kind of spirit beast do you want? I’ll help you choose carefully.”
“Okay, let me think…” Aloy poked her chin with her finger, frowning as she pondered seriously.
She only had one goal in choosing her spirit beast. The potential for future evolutions had to be huge, and it had to be very strong! However, strength could not be determined by level or attributes alone.
Aloy thought for a long time, but could not come up with a suitable standard. She hesitated for a moment, and then revealed a mysterious smile to Shen Fei.
“Anything! You pick one first, then I’ll tell you if I want it or not.”
“…Anything?” The corner of Shen Fei’s mouth twitched. He was a little speechless.
‘Isn’t this the same as not saying anything? Why the hell should he choose?!’
However, Aloy was paying him for it. His selection was worth 500,000 Yuan. As for the choice, Aloy had not said what attribute or type she wanted.
‘It should be enough to choose a strong one, right?’
“What do you think of that one over there?” Shen Fei decisively pointed to a Frost Jade Rabbit in the distance.
[Frost Jade Rabbit]
[Rank: Count, Superior grade]
[HP: 200]
[Attack: 230]
[Defense: 210]
[Spirit: 204]
[Speed: 215]
[Special skill: Frost Freeze (Leaves behind giant ice spikes in its wake that cause piercing damage to enemies.)]
[Special skill: Sneeze (Releases frost crystals in the body through sneezing. Enemies who inhale the crystals would fall into a frozen state.)]
The snowy rabbit was jumping around in the menagerie, and looked extremely lively.
‘This should satisfy her.’ The Frost Jade Rabbit was considered an extremely adorable spirit beast, and was popular among girls.
Moreover, the numbers for its stats were considered average. A base stat of two hundred meant that it contained endless power in its body body.
The two skills were also very useful. One could freeze the enemy and trap them. The other skill would summon frost spikes that could pierce the enemy. Utilizing these two skills together would result in smooth attack combos.
But would Aloy be satisfied with this?
“Let me see.” Aloy took off her glasses and walked to the Frost Jade Rabbit.
As soon as the little rabbit saw Aloy come over, it immediately stood up, closed its two front paws, and bowed to Aloy. It seemed that this spirit beast liked her.
In front of Aloy, the fate of the Frost Jade Rabbit was completely laid out for her to read.
After being adopted by her, the Jade Rabbit would grow quickly. However, due to its upper limit, it could not evolve past Duke rank. For the next ten years, there would be no further improvement in the rabbit.
Aloy could not help but frown. “This rabbit… feels a little too weak. Why don’t we try finding to a stronger one?”
“You don’t like it?”
Aloy shook her head decisively. “This one feels too weak, and its future potential doesn’t seem to be that strong. Let’s try getting a stronger one.”
Shen Fei nodded his head. Aloy had said “anything”, and as expected, she just wanted a strong one. Since that was the case, the parameters for selecting one had grown.
Shen Fei looked at his surroundings. There were quite a few spirit beasts in the vicinity, and they all seemed to be quite strong. As long as he chose one of them, Aloy should be satisfied.
Aloy frowned silently.
Logically speaking, after these spirit beasts came into contact with Shen Fei, their own fate should have undergone a tremendous change, right? But why had the one she saw just now not change? Could it be that the time these spirit beasts spent by Shen Fei’s side was too short?
Shen Fei pointed at the spirit beast in the glass tank and said to Aloy, “What do you think of this one, Aloy? This one should meet your standards, right?
[Poison Ivy Lizard]
[Rank: Duke, Low grade]
[HP: 200]
[Attack: 265]
[Defense: 356]
[Spirit: 485]
[Speed: 142]
[Special skill: Poison Ivy Assault (Two huge poisonous vines will grow out of the holes in the lizard’s body and attack the enemy fiercely.)]
[Special skill: Poison Spray (Sprays a large amount of poison stored in the body onto the enemy, poisoning them.)]
“Let me take a good look.” Aloy walked to the front of the Poison Ivy Lizard and took off her glasses. At the first sight of the venomous lizard, she could not help but frown.
‘This poisonous lizard will die in a few days due to my genetic flaw… Although its level was very high, but I can only feel sorry for it.’
Aloy shook her head again.
“You don’t like this one?”
“That’s right,” Aloy said with certainty.
“Look at this Poison Ivy Lizard, it doesn’t seem to be very energetic. I don’t think it will live long.”
“I see.” Shen Fei once again carefully looked at the lizard in front of him.
It was just as Aloy said, the lizard had been hugging its tree tightly. Even when food was jumping around in the forest, it did not seem to have any desire to hunt. It seemed that it really did not have long to live.
Aloy shook Shen Fei’s arm and gently placed her hand in his. “Let’s go and pick a new one. I think the ones over there look pretty good.”
“Alright,” he said. Shen Fei nodded his head decisively. He held onto Aloy’s hand and walked towards the area.
The surveillance cameras in the park also followed Shen Fei and Aloy’s movements.
…
In the monitoring room.
Zhang Youcheng narrowed his eyes as he watched the intimate interaction between Shen Fei and Aloy. His heart was immediately filled with jealousy.
The reason why Aloy was able to enter the Zhang family’s private beast-breeding institute was because of the Zhang family’s privileges.
It was all because he had spread false news and deliberately distributed a VIP card to Aloy.
The reason why he did this was to create an opportunity for him to be alone with Aloy.
Ever since Aloy and Shen Fei got engaged, this matter had become an eternal pain in his *ss.
He had originally wanted to take advantage of the time when Aloy was choosing her spirit beast to stand quietly in the surveillance room and observe her beautiful appearance. But he did not expect that even so, Shen Fei would still run over and interfere.
He even dared to point his finger at the spirit beasts the Zhang family had raised. They even had the cheek to say that their spirit beast would not live long!
At the thought of this, he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes became fierce.
He had to teach Shen Fei a good lesson!
