Chapter 10: Heading to the Egg Gambling Market

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Chen had leveled up to level two.

He sat down and took a deep breath. Then, he stood up and stretched his body. 

Other people could only meditate for a few minutes. Their energy would deplete quickly during cultivation. Even in his previous life, Luo Chen could only do it for a short while. Basically, he was stronger in this lifetime.

Having talent was essential. Otherwise, no matter how hard a person tried, they would not be successful. 

‘Ding Dong.’

“Is anyone there?”

The doorbell brought Luo Chen back to his senses. He opened the door and saw Zhao Ling Er.

“What’s the matter?”

Zhao Ling Er was also an outstanding student. So, she also received special treatment from the academy. In fact, she was Luo Chen’s neighbor. They could meet up whenever.

“There are some things that I still don’t understand. Can you teach me?”

Zhao Ling Er went directly to the point.

“Of course!”

Luo Chen immediately agreed and invited her into his room. 

“Didn’t you win all the biddings for the pet eggs at the auction house? Why is there no information about your pets in your summoning scripture?”

Zhao Ling Er asked curiously.

“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. Besides, it would be found out eventually .”

Luo Chen showed Zhao Ling Er his pets’ information.

She was in disbelief and snatched the summoning scripture.

“You have both the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird?”

“Yes. I’m not a clairvoyant, but I can sense the quality of an egg.”

“You can sense the quality of an egg? Even the gambling masters do not have such an ability. Can you teach me?”

“I have a sixth sense.”

Luo Chen laughed. 

There was no way he would tell anyone about his duplication ability.

“I want to test out your sixth sense. Follow me.”

Zhao Ling Er pulled Luo Chen and they ran outside.

…

The Egg Gambling Market.

An egg gambling market existed in every city. Only pet eggs were on sale. The daily traffic here was astonishing. Most of the patrons were summoners.

Luo Chen was stunned. There were countless pet eggs here. If he had known before, he would have visited this place ages ago.

The egg gambling market was an alley. Stalls were set up on both sides. 

Although there were many summoners, only a few were willing to spend their money. They had to be careful because the summoning scripture had limited slots. 

However, the peddlers did not mind. Pet eggs were not cheap. Selling one was enough to feed them for half a year. They still made a good amount of money.

Luo Chen walked to one of the largest stalls. There were cabinets filled with colorful pet eggs. This stall in particular had a lot of patrons. The summoners were trying to determine the quality of the pet eggs. They even took some photos.

One of the red eggs had a sign below it that read, ‘Fire attribute. Damage output. Land creature. 80% chance of being a medium-grade pet, 10% chance of being a high-grade pet, and 10% chance of being a divine pet. This is Master Huang’s prediction. If it’s inaccurate, you can get a refund.’

“This is a bright egg. Gambling masters can usually identify it. Compared to a pet egg that was unable to be identified, this egg’s price is a few times higher.”

Zhao Ling Er explained.

Luo Chen looked at a green egg. It was marked with the words ‘Lightning Cat’.

“This egg will hatch into a lightning cat. Usually, this type of eggs came from mercenaries. The mercenaries snatched it from a beast’s nest. They know where it came from, so they also know the hatching result. Naturally, the price is absurdly high.”

Luo Chen continued to check out the stall. He placed his hand on the cabinets filled with pet eggs and used his duplication ability.

The pet eggs were easily duplicated, so they were probably low-grade.

Luo Chen was very disappointed. High-grade pet eggs were very rare indeed. He continued to duplicate the eggs but to no avail.

“I’ll show you something valuable.”

Zhao Ling Er held Luo Chen’s hand and they walked further inside.

They came across a huge white egg. Many people were stroking the egg with various expressions on their faces.

“This egg is so big. I can’t predict the size of the beast that will hatch from it.”

Luo Chen was equally shocked. Even as a baby, the beast that hatched from this egg would be terrifying in terms of size.

“The larger the size of the summoned beast, the stronger it is. This is a basic fact. However, there are cons as well. A lot of money would be needed to raise the beast. Furthermore, there is no information about this egg. It’s too risky. That’s why nobody bought this egg although it’s very valuable.”

Zhao Ling Er said with a smile.

Luo Chen’s interest was piqued. Other people may not be able to afford to raise the beast, but he could. Luo Chen quickly ran towards the egg and touched it. 

He was immediately disappointed. 

The egg was even easier to duplicate than the small ones. Just because it was big did not mean it was good. 

‘My pets were both small, but they were divine beasts. This giant egg could not even hold a candle to a regular low-grade egg.

“Why do you look so down? Is it too expensive?”

A disdainful voice could be heard.

Luo Chen turned around. It was a handsome man. There were a few guards standing behind him. 

The man seemed to be someone important.

Luo Chen had never seen this person before, but he could guess from the man’s voice. It’s the city governor’s son from the auction house.

“Not at all. It’s just not worth it!”

Luo Chen had a bitter expression on his face. He proceeded to look at other pet eggs.

Who knew he would run into the city governor’s son again. The world was really small.

Luo Chen spotted a bright egg, but there was very little information available..
