Chapter 21 Pet Skill Training

Instead of taking medicine, it's better to eat food, Chen Xing contemplated as he looked at the remaining 14 bottles of reagent, inevitably facing a tough decision.

This Grade C Universal Nutritional Supplement isn't even as good as the pet food he made himself.

What's the use in keeping it? Might as well turn it into cash for myself. Wait a minute... Sell it?

Chen Xing lowered his head to look at the 14 bottles of Grade C Universal Nutritional Supplement; in his eyes, these reagents turned into stacks of thick banknotes.

14*4999=69986

If he sold them, he wouldn't have to worry about money for a while.

Even feeding Taotie twice a day wouldn't be a problem!

And he could take out a portion to subsidize household expenses, so his mother wouldn't have to work so hard at her part-time job.

But how to sell them? It definitely wouldn't be easy to sell them at the original price. With the same prices, why wouldn't people go to the official store to buy them with a receipt instead of purchasing an item with an unclear origin?

Since Grade C supplements are sold without quantity limits, reselling them would definitely require dropping the price, and he'd need to find a good buyer.

No, that's not right, Chen Xing suddenly realized; he didn't necessarily have to go out of his way to find a buyer.

There are brokers for second-hand houses and cars; there must be similar agencies for Beast Taming related materials. As long as there is a profit to be made, there will definitely be a corresponding industry.

Putting the box of Grade C supplements into his backpack, Chen Xing took it with him to school.

After the first class ended, the class monitor came out of the office with the grade sheet and posted it on the classroom wall.

"The results are out!" the monitor shouted from the doorway.

Classmates crowded around in the classroom.

Exclamations were heard continuously.

"The first place is in our class."

"Chen Xing ranked first in the grade!"

In the crowd, Wang Qiming tiptoed to look at the grade sheet posted on the wall, feeling somewhat relieved.

As expected, he ranked first in the grade.

Huang Tian from Class One was completely overshadowed; it was quite normal that his Beast Taming wasn't as good as Chen Xing's.

Huang Tian's family owns an OEM factory, and he is the only child in his family. It is said that his Beast Taming drinks Grade B custom nutritional supplements every day.

After the noon class, a boy sneakily slipped into the teacher's office, looking at the computer on the desk that hadn't been turned off. He clicked open the backend system and noted down the specific data and scores of the front-row students' Beast Taming onto paper.

After school, the boy handed over the copied paper to a man wearing sunglasses in the street opposite the school.

"We agreed on five hundred," the boy reached out his hand.

The man took out two hundred from his pocket, gave them to the boy with an OK gesture, "Continue next month, by the way, did you get the information?"

The boy said, "I've got it. Only Chen Xing's family from Class Four is in average conditions; the families of the other four in the top five are quite well-off."

Leaving from across the school, the man pulled out his cell phone and made a call.

"Got the stuff."

"Come back," the person on the phone gave the order.

The man rode a sedan back to Azure Dragon Secondary School and then went straight to the principal's office.

Several teachers were already sitting inside the office. After handing over the list to the principal, the man sat down on a sofa to the side and started chatting with the other teachers, "Teacher Li, have you got it too?"

"I've got it. This year, some promising kids emerged from First Middle School, hehe, their principal tried to hide them, but I still managed to get the information."

A teacher next to him struck up a conversation with the man, "And you, how did your inquiries go in the new district?"

"The ones worthy of attention in the new district are Azure Dragon No. 8 Middle School and Wanhai High School. It took a bit more effort with Wanhai High School, but Azure Dragon No. 8 Middle School was quite easy."

Several teachers exchanged glances and smiled at each other.

High-end school competitions often adopt the simplest methods.

Eavesdropping? Hacking? Fortune-telling?

No no no, you just need to figure out a way to get information from the students.

"Teacher Xie, Teacher Zhang, Teacher Liu." The principal of No. 2 Middle School gestured for them to come over.

"Teacher Wang has listed all the data you gave on the intranet, and it looks like there are quite a few good newcomers in the other schools this year." The principal stood with his hands clasped behind his back, leaning forward, and pointed at a name, saying, "Damn it, Xue Jinbao that old guy found himself a good student."

"Principal, Chen Xing ranked first despite his average family background; his beast must have extraordinary qualifications. Shouldn't we think of a way to poach him?"

The principal of No. 2 Middle School chuckled, seriously considered the feasibility of the suggestion, and then shook his head, "Forget it, if we really poached him, that guy Xue Jinbao would definitely get mad at me. I've been comrades with him for ten years, I know his character best."

"I heard he's made a military pledge with the new district's chief, saying he would definitely provide strong cultivation this year. The resources we can offer might not even compare with his. Plus, this year's freshman class at our school also has a few good students; we can't possibly take all the resources to fight for him."

The principal of No. 2 Middle School bent down, looking at the list, and said meaningfully, "No. 8 Middle School is not a strong competitor, the real contenders among this batch of newcomers three years from now will be Azure Dragon No. 7 Middle School and Tianwu High School."

On the list arranged on the computer screen, the comprehensive scores of two students from Tianwu High School and Azure Dragon No. 7 Middle School lead by a large margin, leaving the third-place at least two thousand points behind. Keep in mind, all listed here are geniuses from each school.

Teacher Xie looked carefully at the first place's score.

His beast taming ranked third in all historical records over the past thirty-three years!

The one who ranked second place's beast taming scored thirty-eighth in all historical records over the past thirty-three years.

He couldn't help but sigh deeply, this ranking... could almost strive for the top position of beast taming this year, especially the first place was almost a certainty.

The first place's name was Chi Ziyao, and seeing this family name along with her beast, Teacher Xie thought of a possibility, "Is she from the Chi Family?"

The principal of No. 2 Middle School knew some secrets not known to the public, "She should be. The Golden Iron Beast was the beast the Chi Family presented to the state. With the substantial support of the state and the Jinzhou government, it became a free beast for the public. The record holders for the first and second highest scores in cultivating the Golden Iron Beast are from the Chi Family; they certainly have expertise in this area."

Although the Golden Iron Beast only ranks eighth in the free beast sequence, it's not because its strength is only eighth, but generally, Golden Iron Beasts are lethargic and lack aggressiveness, which makes them difficult for new Royal Emissaries to command. Furthermore, they are quite challenging to cultivate, so, taking everything into consideration, they are ranked eighth. However, if they enter a frenzied state, the destructive power of the Golden Iron Beast can be astonishing.

Not just in Azure Dragon No. 2 Middle School, but as soon as the results of the first monthly exam for the freshmen of various high schools in Jinzhou were out, the details of the prominent newcomers were already laid out on the desks of various principals through different channels.

However, all this had little to do with Chen Xing, who was already wearing his potion to the largest auction in local Jinzhou.

After a series of verifications and procedures, he successfully sold all fourteen bottles of Grade C Universal Nutrient Solution in his hands.

He sold them for a total of 48,990 yuan at a price of seventy percent of their value.

The price was due in part to the larger quantity being sold at once, and also because the batch of nutrient solution had been recently manufactured and had a long shelf life still.

With a significant sum in his pocket, Chen Xing did not directly go home but first headed to the corner of the park where he often took his beast for training.

Looking at the three freshly exchanged Skill Points, Chen Xing chose to redeem them.

He activated Pet Skill Training and Affinity Knowledge.

[Pet Skill Training]You are proficient in pet training and can conduct special intelligence-boosting games to train their skills.

[Affinity Knowledge]After learning this, it enhances the host's affinity, giving others a refreshing feeling, making it easier to establish friendly relationships with the beasts.

"Huh?" Taotie looked up at its master, why did it suddenly feel that the master was exceptionally kind, like the scent of a mother?

Chen Xing lowered his head and picked up Taotie, affectionately stroking its head.

Let's see how this skill training works.

At the thought, the transparent Stone Booklet in front of him flipped open, turning to the fourth page where Taotie's State data appeared in the top right corner of the page, including length and weight. A line drawing of Taotie was right in front.
