Chapter 5: Ron Aster

Veronica arrived home after a good deal and was getting ready changing her looks, the accessories were delivered when she was out. The interstellar world was indeed fast enough and one doesn't need to wait for a long time.

She had ordered some other clothings to go with her new disguised look.

Veronica looked at herself in the mirror and a not so tall teenager with a pretty face was seen in the image.

Red hair and green eyes were greatly suiting her skin tone, she looked like a cool teenager with a rebellious personality.

Veronica had decided to make a deal with the beast breeding centres, she would sell the two evolved wooden vines to them and earn her first money through this business.

These two wooden vines evolved this fast because the wooden essence secreted by the spirit vine was used on them and they accidentally mutated in a stronger direction.

Veronica was just experimenting with them but the sudden accident took her by surprise and she was elated to see them evolve into a first order beast.

This also cleared her doubt about the usage of wooden essence. It was not only limited to helping beastmaster with wooden attributes but was also a tonic for wood type plant beast to evolve.

The wooden essence produced by the spirit vine was low level and only beneficial to beasts below level 1 and technically useless for beastmasters but has a huge effect for beast breeding stores and companies that sell them.

She could not open a beast breeding centre but she can directly sell the pet beast to them.

Veronica called out the spirit vine and made hand seals to take it out of the beast codex manual.

Veronica was surprised that there wasn't much change in the spirit vine after keeping it in the beast codex manual.

The stats were almost similar to the previous day.

There was only an increase of two points. It was almost negligible.

She wanted to make the spirit vine stronger but for now there were not suitable resources for her to use them on the spirit vine.

"Work hard. You need to cultivate your skills well."

The spirit vine danced as if agreeing to her and Veronica could feel its happiness through the contract.

The spirit vine was still not able to talk by itself. Veronica was worried about the growth of this roadside vine.

Veronica went out towards the nearest beast breeding store which was four hours away from the city.

It was located at a further place from the city due to the large space required for them and to calm the animalistic nature of pet beasts.

It was closer to visit so she decided to use her luck on this breeding store.

She had already registered the information of the spirit vine on the website of Beastmaster Alliance, otherwise carrying it without any identity certificate would lead her to jail.

After using the public transportation, Veronica arrived at the beast breeding centre in Z zone.

Z zones were present in many cities and its main purpose was to make it a beast breeding zone.

"Welcome to the Bailey Breeding Centre."

The attendant quickly greeted Veronica and was ready to serve her.

"Can I help you Sir?"

Veronica was satisfied to see her come to the point and nodded as a greeting.

"Yes, I would like to sell plant type pet beasts. Can you contact your manager?"

The woman was surprised for a second, she immediately turned back to call her manager and took her to the sitting room.

Veronica didn't have to wait for a long time, a middle aged person came out and sat in front of her.

"I am the manager of this establishment, Tom. " He introduced himself and was not surprised to see the age of the client. " I heard you want to sell plant type pet beasts. Can you elaborate?"

Veronica has already used a voice changing machine from the beginning and was not worried about her identity being exposed. She calmly introduced herself and told him about the two wooden vines that she brought with her.

"Is it a wooden vine?" Tom was expressionless the entire time and calmly asked her few more questions.

"Where did you find them?"

Veronica raised her eyebrows, this kind of question should not be asked, was this manager testing her?

" I am afraid I can't tell you. Would you like to buy them or not?" Veronica asked him coldly.

It was in line with her rebellious personality.

The manager responded, " I don't mean to intrude but it is a general knowledge that wild alien beasts are not kind to humans so I wanted to know how you took it out without any fuss?"

The manager was experienced in his job and knew the characteristics of wild beasts well. He could buy the wooden vine but if it would not like human interference like the normal wild beasts then he was not interested. After all, the wooden vine is a common type of pet beast, high investment is not worth it, if he could not sell it well.

As a businessman he has to look out for profit and loss being sentimental was not good.

"You are right. I was the one who had domesticated them so you need not worry about any future issues regarding it's violent nature."

Veronica assured him and put out the two wooden vines outside the resource space for the manager to review.

This time, the manager was astonished and was secretly sweating to see the sudden change in the surroundings.

"Mr, can you warn me beforehand?" The manager wiped the sweat off and asked Verona in a low voice.

"By the way, before making the deal would you please introduce yourself?" Tom asked her.

To him, Veronica seemed like a rebellious teenager who was out to create havoc. This kind of business was profitable but it also depends on the behaviour of the client. Tom didn't want to create any unnecessary trouble for himself. He has to make sure whether the client was good enough for him to take a bet.

"I am Ron Aster."

Ron Aster, it was not similar, Tom has never heard about the name Aster from anyone before. He was not sure whether he was a country bumpkin or an heir of the hidden family.

From the looks of the client it does not look like poor bumpkin and eighty percent chances were of Ron Aster being a son of a rich man.

He has to be careful. After all not anyone can have this kind of rebellious personality and live in the interstellar world harmlessly.

"Mr Aster, how did you take them?"

Veronica smirked at the question, "This is a business secret. You just need to tell me whether you would buy it or not?"

Tom agreed heartily, buying the plant beast was not a loss for him but he has to be careful not to be smoked later. So, he guessed boldly.

"Are you a beast breeder? Is this the reason that your alien beasts are gentle and human friendly?"

"As I said before, I am here to sell the beast pets and not to talk about myself."

Tom nodded after suppressing his curiosity.

He sent the two wooden vines to the lab for a detailed report and told Veronica about the price he would give her if everything was right with the pet beasts.

"I would give you 70,000 union coins for each pet. It is considered as a higher price than the market and this is because our Bailey Breeding Centre values young talent like yourself."

Even though Veronica didn't agree to being a beast breeder, Tom has already built a story in his head about a rebellious boy leaving home and earning money and fame through his talent and shock his family was present in front of him.

He wanted to build contacts and give him hope in poor days so Ron Aster would remember him.

Veronica was happy to get the high price and didn't know that the manager in front of her had made some dramatic stories about her life experience.

It was in her favour so she didn't care about further reasons, the more money she earns the better it was for her.
