In the territory.

Wang Xiao raised his hand and sat beside the beast egg. His vision was already turning black. Even with the [Healing Potion], he still felt that his body could not take it after losing so much blood at once.

Fortunately, the progress bar of the contract had already jumped to “98%” The joy of victory made Wang Xiao recover a little.

“If this [Cloud Beast] isn’t very powerful, I’ll smash the headquarters of the

Lord’s Shop after I recover! How dare they use such a strange thing to fool me?

I have to let them know that I’m not someone to be trifled with!”

Wang Xiao muttered incoherently. However, he actually knew that this matter could not be blamed on the Lord’s Shop. After all, even if the other party did not give it to him, Wang Xiao was still prepared to buy this beast egg. The situation now would not change.

The reason why he scolded the Lord’s Shop was because he wanted to use anger to stimulate himself to stay awake. Otherwise, he was about to faint now.

After gritting his teeth and persevering for an unknown period of time, the progress bar finally jumped to “99%.” Wang Xiao forced himself to get up and welcome this historic moment when he suddenly heard a blurry system notification.

[Contract successful.] [Incubation time is estimated to be three months and 15 days.]

“Three and a half months?”

Wang Xiao was shocked by this incubation time.

On the other hand, the incubation time of the [Cloud Beast] was actually three and a half months. Was the difference between diamond quality and platinum quality so great?

While he was shocked in his heart, Wang Xiao was also overjoyed. From his previous incubation experience, the longer the mutated beast took to hatch, the stronger he would be.

Who knew how powerful the mutated beasts that needed three and a half months to hatch would be!

As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao had already taken out an acceleration item card and used it. After a warm green light flashed, the beast egg’s interface information also changed:

[The acceleration item has been successfully used. The incubation time is estimated to be three months and twelve days.]

This was the first time Wang Xiao had used an acceleration item in such a manner. The fact that a green quality [Acceleration Growth] could shorten the time by three days was already far beyond his expectations.

However, in front of the long incubation period of “three and a half months”, three days was really a drop in the bucket.

Without any hesitation, Wang Xiao took out six [Acceleration Growth] cards from the warehouse. This was also the only stock he had left.

After using the six [Acceleration Growth] items, the incubation time was finally reduced to three months, but this was still not something Wang Xiao could accept.

“Looks like I can only make a trip to the trading market…’

Wang Xiao sighed softly and retreated from the territory with a thought. Although he did not actually lose blood in the territory, the weakness caused could effectively affect his body in reality.

After lying on the bed for a while, Wang Xiao gathered enough strength to get up. He took out his communicator and dialed a number.

A moment later, the communicator was picked up, and an excited voice immediately sounded. “Junior! You haven’t contacted me for a long time. Do you have any good business recommendations?”

“Senior Ma…”

Wang Xiao smiled weakly. “You really haven’t changed at all!”

Ma Yunle, who was on the other end of the communicator, was stunned.

“Junior, your voice doesn’t sound right. Are you feeling unwell?”

“A little. It’s not serious.”

Wang Xiao casually replied. After calculating for a moment, he said, “I need 30 green quality [Accelerating Growth] now. If I can’t gather them, other quality is fine too. In short, I want to reduce the time by about 90 days.”

“So many…”

Ma Yunle hissed. “I’ll think of something—when do you want it?”

“The sooner the better.”

Wang Xiao replied. He paused for a moment and added, “But it’s not convenient for me to go out now, so I might have to trouble you to send it to me.”

“Sure! I’ll contact you after I gather them! ”

After Ma Yunle finished speaking, she hung up. Wang Xiao found Lin Xiang’s number again, but after thinking about it, he still did not contact him.

Although the relationship between the two of them was not bad, Wang Xiao now owed the Lord’s Shop more than 100 billion star coins. It was more or less taking advantage of the other party if he asked for the item cards.

Sighing silently in his heart, Wang Xiao casually threw the communicator to the side and fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time, Wang Xiao was woken up by an urgent knock on the door. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling for a long time before suddenly realizing that Ma Yunle might have come to deliver the goods.

“They’re here!”

Wang Xiao shouted and got up from the bed. The weakness in various parts of his body was still obvious. It seemed that he had not slept for too long.

Holding the table and wall, he moved to the door. After Wang Xiao opened the door, he indeed saw Ma Yunle standing at the door.

“Senior Ma is very efficient!”

Wang Xiao forced a smile. “You obtained 30 [Acceleration Growth] cards so quickly?”

“Ah… It’s quite fast…’

Ma Yunle smiled awkwardly and took out a stack of item cards emitting a green light from his pocket. However, from the thickness, there were only a dozen or so.

Wang Xiao subconsciously frowned. “This number seems a little wrong, right?”

Ma Yunle nodded, and the awkwardness on her face became even more obvious. “This kind of item card is more commonly used. Generally speaking, no one is willing to sell it. I’ve thought of all the methods I can think of, but I only managed to get these sixteen…”

..Alright.”

Wang Xiao was silent for a moment before nodding. 16 [Acceleration Growth] could shorten the time by 48 days. It was better than nothing.

As he spoke, Wang Xiao reached out to take them, but he realized that Ma Yunle had no intention of letting go at all. He was stunned for a moment before asking in confusion, “Senior Ma, is there a problem?”

“There’s nothing wrong. It’s just that…”

Ma Yunle smiled dryly and rubbed his fingers. “These [Acceleration Growth] costs an average of 300 star coins each. 16 of them are 4,800 star coins. Coupled with the money I charge to run errands… it’s not too much to charge you 5,000 star coins, right?”

Wang Xiao’s expression froze when he heard this. He pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly. “I just bought a batch of resources. I still owe the Lord’s Shop..

“…Then I’m sorry.”

As Ma Yunle spoke, he directly took the item cards from Wang Xiao’s hand. “Payment on delivery. This is the rule of our brokerage. No matter how good our relationship is, I can’t break the rule, right?”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Wang Xiao burst out laughing. “Previously, I handed hundreds of thousands of resources to you to sell on my behalf. You know better than me how much you earned. Now, you’re here to talk to me about the rules?”

“That’s two different things!”

Ma Yunle waved his hand and said in a deep voice with a firm attitude, “Even biological brothers have to settle accounts clearly! Anyway, there’s no need to talk if you don’t have money!”

Seeing Ma Yunle’s abnormal appearance, Wang Xiao subconsciously narrowed his eyes. “Did you encounter some trouble?”

Ma Yunle seemed to have been exposed. After a while, he finally whispered, “Let me tell you the truth. You’re already on the blacklist of the trading market.”

“Moreover, everyone knows that we have a good relationship. Now, everyone is monitoring me.. If I don’t take the money from you and give you the goods today, I won’t be able to survive in the trading market in the future!”
