Chapter 9, Second Pet Beast: Moonstone
Xue Youyou was startled when she saw the price.
She recalled her first virtual battle yesterday, where her opponent, a girl with long red curly hair, had one. She hadn't expected her to be so rich.
The exorbitant price is suffocating.
It can be said that it is only for admiring from afar, and not for touching.
However, now she can not only play with them, but also take one home for free to play with.
Seeing Xue's lingering gaze finally settle on the shop's four-symbol pet, Meng Yan's face turned green.
One must accept the consequences of a bet.
But if Grandma finds out she lost ten million, she'll be in big trouble.
"Meng Yanqing".
"What's wrong?" Meng Yanqing looked dejected, as if she had lost her parents.
"Can I choose a pet and then resell it to you?" Xue Youyou asked sincerely, blinking her eyes.
Although the four-phase pets are precious, they are not the pets she wants.
What she really wanted was a Moonstone, which cost one million, a full nine million cheaper than a Four-Phase Pet. Taking it directly felt like a huge loss.
Therefore, after some hesitation, she came up with the brilliant plan of exchanging the four pet beasts for money first, and then buying the moonstone.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Meng Yanqing quickly understood the current situation.
Xue Youyou probably had her eye on other cheaper pets and wanted to exploit a loophole in the betting agreement to exchange the price difference with the Four-Phase Pet for money.
That's outrageous! They want to have all the good things? No way!
Meng Yanqing was overjoyed, but immediately refused righteously: "Absolutely not, you can only choose one to take with you, that's what we agreed on at the beginning."
Xue Youyou spread her hands: "Alright then, it seems I'll have to pawn Fengming at other pet shops for money."
Meng Yanqing instantly lost her composure: "Are you a devil?!"
In response to Meng Yanqing's condemnation, Xue Youyou simply looked at her with an innocent expression.
"You win!" Meng Yanqing glared fiercely at Xue Youyou, but still had no choice but to accept reality.
"But have you thought this through? The buyback price is only half of the selling price, which means you'll only get five million."
"So little?" Xue Youyou said with a look of disdain.
Seeing this, Meng Yanqing immediately broke down: "Don't go too far!"
"Oh dear, why the rush? Five million it is."
"Oh, right, I want to buy a moonstone."
"I'll also return the one million for the Shattered Moon Essence skill card; just give me three million."
"Get lost! Who wants your million?! You promised ten times, not a single time less!"
"..."

Leave Yuelan Pet Store.
Xue Youyou returned to her dormitory carrying a crescent-shaped silver ore.
Moonstone is a unique pet that can continuously change shape according to the lunar cycle.
After being released by Xue Youyou, the moonstone slowly floated in mid-air, emitting a clear, cold bell sound when touched.
This trip was very fruitful.
Not only did Snowflake learn her desired skills and form a contract with her second pet, Moonstone, she even made a profit of four million from the shop owner in the end.
The only drawback was that Meng Yanqing insisted that she repay the one million by shooting commercials.
Ten times in total.
There seems to be no end in sight to paying off the debt.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
She's willing to do anything to make her pet stronger.
This is the responsibility of a beast tamer.
Xue Youyou hugged the snowflakes and sobbed.
"Waaah, this time Mom got ripped off by those unscrupulous merchants."
A snowflake stretched out a corner, wiping away the snow's quiet tears.
One person and one pet – such a heartwarming scene.
It is truly heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see.
Besides moonstone.
Not long ago, it witnessed firsthand how Xue Youyou ate and took things away from the store for free, leaving the store owner with a debt of four million.
They're practically vampires.
Even more unscrupulous than a profiteer.
Now they're still pretending to be victims.
Just two words.
Nausea.
Noticing Yue Shi's slight mood, Xue Youyou immediately picked her up and comforted her, "You're also Mommy's good baby. From now on, we're family. You can't be jealous of your sister Xuehua, okay?"
Moonstone: "..."
"Snowflake, come and shake hands with your Moonstone sister."
When Moonstone saw that Snowflake had actually extended a corner of its body, it was speechless.
Due to the unique nature of the Moonstone race, Moonstones need to be exposed to moonlight for a hundred years before they can develop sentience, break free from genetic shackles, and embark on the path of evolution.
Don't let her current childhood fool you; she's actually over a hundred years old.
Not to mention she was a divine beast reborn.
Although her memories are now hazy, and she can only occasionally dream of her past life, she doesn't remember why she chose to be reborn.
But one thing is certain: in its previous life, it was the divine beast that ruled the eternal night and foggy sky—Wang Shu Cai.
How big is this baby? Is it even six months old? Has it been weaned yet?
How dare you shamelessly act as its older sister?
However, under the expectant gaze of the snowflake, the moonstone still bent its pointed head and lightly touched the snowflake like a dragonfly skimming the water.
After all, it was under someone else's roof, and the other party was the companion beast of its current cheap master, so it still gave them face.
Witnessing the friendly interaction between the two pets, Xue Youyou revealed a satisfied smile.
This is exactly what she wanted to see.
In her vision, Snowflake and Moonstone will be her closest allies in the future.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Snow Woman learns the Shattered Moon Essence technique, she can only unleash less than 20% of its power.
Even after successfully evolving into a dual Ice and Moonlight type, Oborozuki Yukiko could only unleash half of its power at most.
Meng Yanqing was right about this; this kind of slashing skill is indeed not suitable for snowflakes.
But Xue Youyou had extraordinary insight, and she knew how to solve this problem.
To unleash the true power of Shattered Moon Essence, the Snow Maiden only needs a suitable Moonlight-type weapon pet to assist her.
This allows for a perfect combination of ice-type and moon-type pet elemental energy, as well as the slashing proficiency of weapon-type pets.
The original intention of the so-called weapon type is not to allow the beast tamer to personally control it to carry out the action of the person in battle.
Instead, it allows other pets that are compatible with it to use it, so that the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
This is the correct way to consume weapon-type pets.
Of course, Moonstone is currently a biological pet; it will only become a weapon after evolving.
Xue Youyou entered the virtual battle space again, this time she opened a virtual training room.
The information panel for Moonstone appeared.
[Juvenile Stage · Species · Moonstone]
[Moonlight Series]
[Level: 10]
[Talent: Taiyin Cleansing Edge (Can continuously absorb moonlight for tempering, permanently increasing attack power)]
[Skills: None]
[Secret Technique: None]
Even though Xue Youyou had already checked the panel once when she made a contract with Moonstone in the shop, she still marveled at the wonder of the Creator when she saw it again.
Taiyin Xifeng, how could there be such an abnormal talent in the world?
In theory, given enough time to grow, the attack power of a Moonstone can be increased indefinitely!
Moonstone itself is an extremely long-lived species; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it lives as long as the heavens.
Even if one day the snow turns to ash, the moonstone will still be able to continue to grow and develop.
If it weren't for the fact that only the beast tamer who has a contract with a pet can see the pet's interface, this moonstone would have been contracted by someone else long ago, and it would never have been Xue Youyou's turn.
