Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

The atmosphere at the God's Capital Auction was quite quiet, a stark contrast to the lively scenes when items were being auctioned off earlier. Many people noticed the abnormality, and gradually, fewer and fewer people were calling out bids.

“One thousand three hundred and fifty.”

After this price was called, quite a while passed before someone else bid.

“One thousand four hundred.”

This time, no one raised the price for a long time.

It's like everyone knows that three hundred coins can't buy three hundred pounds of gold.

That can only mean one thing.

There's a huge pitfall to this thing that he doesn't know about.

Especially when he saw the pity and schadenfreude in the eyes of many people looking at him, he became even more uneasy.

The auctioneer said, "One thousand four hundred, once."

“One thousand four hundred, twice.”

“One thousand four hundred, three…”

“One thousand four hundred and fifty.”

Li Cunxu, who hadn't spoken the entire time, suddenly called out.

The person who called out one thousand four hundred felt relieved, secretly rejoicing that someone had taken over his burden.

The auctioneer called out again.

“One thousand four hundred and fifty, once.”

“One thousand four hundred and fifty, twice.”

“One thousand four hundred and fifty, three times.”

“Sold! Congratulations to customer number 888 for winning the Jade Devil Hand.”

Two-thirds of the audience cast gloating glances.

“Wife, did Old Uncle explain? Why is the Jade Devil Hand not to be bought?”

“Old Uncle explained. He said the Jade Devil Hand steals things.”

“Stealing things, what kind of pitfall is that?”

“Old Uncle said the Jade Devil Hand is very strong at stealing things, even Emperor-level experts can't stop it. When you become its master, it will steal your best treasure on the first day, and every day after that, the Jade Devil Hand's kleptomania will worsen, stealing more and more things.”

“Then I can sell all my things and exchange them for virtual purple-gold coins in the bank. That way, it won't be able to steal anything, right?”

“Old Uncle said that if there's nothing for it to steal, it will steal your internal organs, steal your limbs and torso, steal your heart and brain.”

The man was shocked, “This thing is so dangerous!”

“Yes! This thing is very dangerous.”

“Speaking of which, where does this Jade Devil Hand hide the things it steals? It must have stolen a lot of good things over the years. If we could find it, we could get rich.”

“I also asked Old Uncle this question. Old Uncle said that this question is actually something many experts are very curious about and want to know. Therefore, many experts in God's Capital have bought the Jade Devil Hand for research. However, it has been circulating among experts at the God's Capital Auction for eighty years, and no one has cracked the secret of where the Jade Devil Hand hides the things it steals.”

…

Li Cunxu didn't rush to leave the auction after obtaining the Jade Devil Hand. Instead, he waited until the auction was over before leaving, and he also bid on a few other resources that caught his eye.

Leaving immediately after getting it would attract too much attention.

As soon as the auction ended, Li Cunxu immediately went back.

He had to complete the evolution ceremony as soon as possible, otherwise, the Jade Devil Hand would start stealing things at 00:00 AM.

The most valuable thing on him should be the Sky Pavilion Ring. He didn't want the Sky Pavilion Ring to be stolen. Moreover, the Thief God Law within the Jade Devil Hand would digest the stolen items, which meant that there was absolutely no possibility of getting back anything the Jade Devil Hand stole.

Back at the hotel, because there was no traffic on the way, the trip home was smooth, and he arrived at nine thirty.

When Jiang Lingyun was about to return to her room, Li Cunxu stopped her.

“Lingyun! When you go back to your room later, come to my room first. I have good things to share with you.”

Li Cunxu used hot water to dissolve half a pound of honey that he bought at the auction for one hundred purple-gold coins.

“This is an Epic · Lord-level resource, Drowsy Honey. The first time you drink it, it can greatly increase your mental strength. However, there is a bit of a side effect. After drinking it, it has a strong sleep aid effect.”

“Summon your Golden Brocade Rats to enjoy it too. Although they are not mental-type, increasing mental strength will also help them a little.”

Li Cunxu divided a pot of honey water into eight cups and pushed it in front of Jiang Lingyun.

Jiang Lingyun summoned seven Golden Brocade Rats to enjoy it. The Drowsy Honey diluted in the honey water was very delicious, and the seven Golden Brocade Rats almost crawled into the quilt to drink it.

Jiang Lingyun picked up the cup and saw that the honey water in the glass pot had been poured out. Plus, she remembered that Li Cunxu only bought half a pound of Drowsy Honey.

“Boss, aren’t you drinking?”

“Drowsy Honey has limited improvement on my mental strength, and I have things to do tonight, so I can't sleep.”

Jiang Lingyun drank the honey water, but she didn't fall asleep immediately. The sleep aid effect of Drowsy Honey would take a while to take effect.

So, Li Cunxu chatted with Jiang Lingyun for a while.

Jiang Lingyun said, “Boss, why did you bid on that dark hand? That hand gives me an extremely dangerous feeling.”

Li Cunxu said, “That hand is the key to Chi Xiaoxiong's evolution.”

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Lingyun fell asleep.

Her seven Golden Brocade Rats also fell asleep, snoring loudly. Two of them fell asleep before they could climb out of the glass.

Li Cunxu put Jiang Lingyun to sleep, not because he had any bad intentions, but simply because he wanted to rub against her luck from close range. However, there were some secrets that Li Cunxu didn't want Jiang Lingyun to see, such as the Divine Empowerment.

Little White Spider asked, “What is the connection between this Jade Devil Hand and Chi Xiaoxiong's evolution?”

Chi Xiaoxiong, who was playing with the Jade Devil Hand, also looked over.

Li Cunxu said, “In the distant past, there was a Holy Cub Panda with the 'Theft Black Hand' talent. Because of its restless hands, it was driven away by the clan. After leaving the clan, this Holy Cub Panda walked alone on the God's Domain Continent. At that time, it was during the chaotic war of the gods. The God of Thieves was discovered by the God King for stealing things and was smashed to death by the cup angrily thrown by the God King. The God of Thieves' divinity accidentally fell into the God's Domain Continent and was coincidentally picked up by that Holy Cub Panda.

With the power of the divinity, that Holy Cub Panda evolved into a brand new race form—the Holy Thief Panda.

The Holy Thief Panda is not the end of evolution. After absorbing all the power of the divinity, the Holy Thief Panda evolved into the God Thief Panda.”

Chi Xiaoxiong listened with great interest.

“Time is merciless, time is terrible. Even the God Thief Panda standing at the peak of the ninth level of the Emperor could not resist the erosion of the long river of time and died of old age. Before dying of old age, it hoped that a second God Thief Panda could reappear in the world. Therefore, it used all its power to condense this Jade Devil Hand containing the inheritance of the God Thief Panda.”

“However, because the Thief God Law contained within the Jade Devil Hand was too terrifying, it involuntarily began to steal things.”

“Alright, it's time for Chi Xiaoxiong to evolve. Cut your hands and let the blood flow out, then press your hands on the Jade Devil Hand.”

The Jade Devil Hand is essentially an inheritance item. Its inheritance mechanism was triggered, turning into a black light that escaped into Chi Xiaoxiong's body, and then Chi Xiaoxiong's body burst out with the light of evolution.
