Infinite Beast Control: The Starting Pet Is A Stone

In Fu Han's eyes, Linyi Town is a small place.

But in fact, in the sparsely populated Southern Continent, small towns like Linyi Town are already quite lively. This is a place that merchants who travel around the Southern Continent will inevitably pass by.

Because it is the nearest gathering point of Jingshan Forest, almost all the specialties of Jingshan Forest must pass through Linyi Town.

Moreover, merchants and hunting groups also like to conduct transactions here, because it is close enough to Hui Burial City and far enough away.

The so-called close enough means that Linyi Town is still within the direct jurisdiction of Hui Burial City. This means that it is very safe here. There is almost no need to consider the problems of banditry and war. It is a very safe rest stop.

Many merchants who were wary along the way would shed tears of excitement when they saw the outline of Linyizhen... But it was finally safe!

The so-called far enough means that although the prestige of Hui Burial City can benefit Linyi Town, the Silent Guards and Huangquan Officials will not come here often.

The tax is light on the one hand; more importantly, Linyizhen does not have the solemnity and silence that make people breathless, so that business can be carried out happily...

Therefore, in the middle of every month, markets are set up on both sides of the main street in Linyi Town for trade, which is also the busiest time in Linyi Town.

…

Hearing that there was a market, Fu Han specially called Qiqilu back. After all, in a foreign market, there are probably many things that I have never seen before. Qiqilu is so curious, so she will definitely like it.

So Qiqilu, who was in the form of a ferret, followed Fu Han and wandered around the small town market.

The most common thing in the market is the trade of star beasts. In the Southern Continent, everything on the star beast that can be preserved for a long time has its value.

Furs, bones, claws, scales, and even cured dried meat are all purchased by merchants. In addition, live star beast cubs and star beast eggs are the most popular products, and stalls with such rare products are surrounded by merchants. They competed to bid, much like a small auction.

Because the prices they shouted out were astronomical figures in Fu Han's ears. So he didn't squeeze in to see it because he really couldn't afford it.

The most important product in the market is broken stars.

After walking around for a while, Fu Han discovered something he hadn't thought of before.

Most broken stars in the Southern Continent are priced and sold based on star magnitude. No one seems to care about the skills in Broken Stars, as if they are buying and selling "blank slate Broken Stars".

After asking around at several hunting stalls, Fu Han understood the reason.

The main reason is that the cost of appraising a Broken Star is too high. The cost of appraising a second-class Broken Star is about 3 gold coins.

You know, the price of the second-class broken star on the whiteboard is only 3 gold coins, and the appraisal fee also costs 3 gold coins. If the value of the broken star cannot be doubled after appraisal, then it will be a pure loss.

Obviously only a few broken stars with particularly useful skills can double in price after identification. Most of the remaining Broken Stars have no appraisal value, so the prices are close to uniformity.

In the eyes of these grassroots hunters in the Southern Continent, this is normal because it has always been this way. However, judging from Fu Han's knowledge and understanding, this smacks of conspiracy.

The high appraisal fees should be a means for the aristocracy to monopolize the market. They will purchase Broken Stars at the lowest price, and then select the best Broken Stars for their own use through the appraisers they have trained.

As a result, if ordinary beast masters want to become particularly powerful, the channels become very narrow. The most efficient way is obviously to rely on the dignitaries of the Holy See.

In comparison, the 17% appraisal fee of Alliance Trading House is really conscientious. Moreover, the trading house has also selected broken stars into different categories for everyone to choose at will. Large quantity and high quality, no matter how rare the broken stars are, you can buy them at a later date.

...Because of the different systems in the two places, the difficulty of cultivating star beasts is also very different.

This is probably the reason why the Southern Continent is weak... A small number of nobles from aloof sects, in order to ensure their noble status, firmly hold important resources in their own hands. But the really powerful group of ordinary people get nothing.

In this war, the beast masters of the Nature Star Alliance will be stronger!

…

Of course, the path for ordinary beast masters in the Southern Continent is not completely blocked. They can also hunt and accumulate Broken Stars themselves to allow the Star Beasts to master the required skills.

When Fu Han was inquiring about this matter, a hunter asked Fu Han if he was interested in groups of broken stars.

He said that those were the [Wind-Tangled King Shrimp] broken stars that his hunting team had slowly accumulated. It was originally saved by a brother in the team for his own use, but unfortunately he died during hunting. So now I'm taking advantage of the Broken Star left behind to leave a pension for my dead brother.

The only problem is that these broken stars are not authenticated. But as long as Fu Hanxin is good enough, he can sell it to him at a low price. 10 pieces of second-class broken stars only cost 45 gold coins. If you don't have enough money, you can exchange it for Fu Han's protective clothing.

After listening to the hunter's story, Fu Han asked him a question: "The Broken Star will slowly spread the starlight. If you want to use it yourself, why don't you just use it every time you hunt a [Wind-Tangled King Shrimp]?" Broken Star absorbs it?"

The hunter quickly changed his words: "He left it for the child."

Fu Han asked him two more questions: "Why did you sell it when you left it to your children? Is it because the swords of the Silent Guards of Hui Burial City are not fast enough to cut your neck?"

Hearing this, the hunter quickly bowed his hands, closed the stall and left.

…

The Wind-Tangled King Shrimp that relies on [Air Cannon] to hunt is a tough character, usually at level 30 or 40. This guy actually said that he has a set of second-class broken stars of the Wind-Tangled King Shrimp. This is basically bragging and not drafting.

Fu Han was cautious. He didn't know if there were indeed low-level wind-tangled king shrimps in the southern continent, so he didn't use the star level to refute him.

But this guy's deception was full of loopholes, and he really didn't take Fu Han seriously, so Fu Han just asked him a few questions and ran away.

However, this incident made Fu Han realize that the protective clothing he was wearing seemed to be very valuable.

…

After wandering around the market for a while, Fu Han discovered something interesting again.

In this small market, merchants brought many goods from far away. And the most popular ones are actually products of the Northern Star Alliance!

Especially some outdoor equipment, such as the water purification bag and solar flashlight that Fu Han once used. There are also backpacks made of chemical fiber, jackets, etc., and hunters are constantly asking for their prices. However, because these things are too expensive, even though hunters want them, most of them are reluctant to walk away with regrets.

In addition to these, some daily chemical products are sold very frequently. For example, people are constantly paying for scented shampoos and concentrated laundry detergents. Fu Han also leaned over and took a closer look. They were all brands he had never seen before, but they were produced by a well-known daily chemical company in the alliance.

In addition to these, there are even some vintage electronics.

For example, old-fashioned cassette handheld game consoles, as well as supporting batteries and cassettes. There are also portable players for playing music and movies, as well as music and movies burned into cassettes.

The stall selling ear-mounted walkie-talkies was the most lively, with groups of hunters looking around and trying again and again. It is not difficult to see that they really want it, but that crap is really expensive!

…

In fact, it is not surprising. From a historical perspective, trade between the North and the South was much more frequent than war.

Ever since the Star Alliance eliminated the forces of the Star Sect from the north, large-scale wars have not occurred. This situation has lasted for more than 200 years.

After all, there is an immeasurable sea between them, and it is almost impossible for the Fanxing Sect to counterattack. The Morning Star Alliance is also very afraid of the miraculous weapons left behind by the gods.

The overt and covert trade between the two sides was never completely interrupted even during the war, let alone now.

For example, Cang Jie's [Mercury Demon Blade] is a unique star beast of the Southern Continent. This kind of star beast, which astral zoologists have not yet figured out how to reproduce, cannot be cultivated by the alliance. Therefore, Cangji's mercury magic blade was transported from the Southern Continent.

There are many similar examples, such as [Scaleed Horse], which is also the best in the wild in the southern continent. Scale horses coming out of breeding centers are often thin and have degenerated scales.

The star beasts unique to the southern continent will be transported to the north, while the cheap chemical products and obsolete electronic equipment in the north will be sold to ordinary people in the south at high prices.

The Holy See nobles will use the products of inscription technology powered by pyroxene. But ordinary people are not qualified to enjoy expensive inscription technology. They prefer cheap alliance products.

"I just don't know... Star Chaser City has suffered such a big loss this time. Will the alliance adopt stricter blockade measures?"

Thinking about it, Fu Han couldn't help but look forward to the Sun Council at the end of the month, which was a reliable channel to obtain information.
