BXBX NOVEL Chapter 235 - 229: Future Development
A moment later, with Rainbow’s psychic sensing, David Jones quickly collected the Magic Cores scattered across the battlefield, totaling two hundred and three.
There were one hundred and seventy-one Class III Magic Cores from the Superior beast species, twenty-nine Class IV Magic Cores from the Elite beast species, and three Class IV upper-level Purple Horned Dragon Magic Cores from the Commander-species.
“Looks like next time I’ll have to restrain Rainbow a little; just the Magic Cores crushed by the Ice Tornado skill alone were over a hundred, costing a lot of Star Coins!”
Determined to avoid any waste, David Jones sighed lightly and collected all the shattered Magic Core fragments with the broken crystals and the significant loss of Arcane Force into a white jade box, intending to use them as fertilizer for Lolo’s medicine field in the Mesona Space.
“However, the sum of these two hundred and three good-quality Magic Cores should be worth about two billion Star Coins.”
After counting the Star Coins, David Jones’ mood hadn’t improved but instead felt more painful.
Although he directly earned two billion this time, the Magic Cores destroyed by Rainbow’s skill were worth up to one billion Star Coins.
In the past, this was the amount he could only earn from working hard to concoct Starfall Elixirs for more than half a year.
Luckily, the Starfall Elixir had the highest success rate and highest selling price among the Class I elixirs he could concoct. If it were another elixir, he would have to work for at least one or two years to earn so many Star Coins.
With that thought, David Jones couldn’t help but smack his lips, lamenting in his heart, “Murder and arson yield a stretcher, but it’s still the Magic Cores from the beasts that make the most money!”
However, despite his lamenting, David Jones still had no plans to make money by killing beasts.
Not to mention the risk to life, the key issue was how many beasts could an ordinary Trainer kill while adventuring for a month?
Even a high-level Trainer like Quentin Scott, if unlucky, might only get dozens of Class III Magic Cores in a month.
Besides, during adventures, the danger from other Trainers encountered in dungeons or the wild might be even more dangerous than the beasts themselves.
With the Dragon-Wielding power and pharmacy skills at hand, David Jones didn’t need to venture for Pet Resources; he only needed to be steady to grow into a strong Trainer.
Chirp! The familiar sound of a falcon’s cry echoed.
At that moment, a flash of blue and white light descended from the sky. David Jones looked up and saw it was Margaret Yule.
“Thousands of students were teleported into the Earth Labyrinth, and yet we met again!”
Dave Jones surprised, took the initiative and greeted, “What a coincidence! Shall we team up next?”
The Rosewood College’s practical assessment did not prohibit students from forming teams, as teamwork with pets was one of the ways for students to show their talents and strengths.
After all, pure combat power alone could not measure the talents and potential of a new Trainer.
Support-type Trainers, who could provide buffs and healing to pets, also needed a team to truly demonstrate their ability.
So, the Earth Labyrinth’s assessment did not use the number of levels cleared as the standard to prevent some students from advancing to deeper levels with an undeserved evaluation through a Beastmaster Team.
If they teamed up and let Rainbow cast Double Frozen Wasteland to strengthen Margaret’s Frost Falcon, it might improve her assessment rating for the practical exams.
Margaret glanced at Claire Guarneri and Quentin Scott not far away, who were treating their pets, and gritted her teeth.
“Damn it, I was here first!”
But the thought disappeared quickly from her heart. Facing David’s invitation, she smiled and nodded, “Sure.”
Then, Margaret Yule asked with a smile, “By the way, who are these two?”
At her words, David Jones was slightly taken aback. Weren’t these two the talented beast trainers you introduced on the way here?
Why pretend not to know them now?
David Jones: “These are the examinees I met on the third floor of the labyrinth,
Claire Guarneri and Quentin Scott.”
At this time, a large hole in the sky appeared, with many people riding on aerial pets flying towards them.
“We’re running out of time, let’s go!” David Jones prepared to continue on their journey with Margaret Yule.
First come, first served. If they were late, they would only be left with whatever pet resources others left behind.
“Wait, can we join your team?” Claire Guarneri stepped forward and asked.
David Jones was about to refuse, but thinking of the black crystal he had just put into the star ring, he nodded.
Having black crystal in Claire Guarneri’s hand meant that she or her family might have higher-level resources than the black crystal, such as Level VI crystals and the Dark Double-series Black Crystal Marrow.
As the essence of black crystal, Black Crystal Marrow could greatly enhance a pet’s compatibility with dark-type attributes and had a nine-layer chance to grant a pet an extremely rare dark-type attribute.
For Daphne’s future evolutionary form, David Jones was more inclined to grow with hght-fire-crystal triple attributes, but unfortunately, the resources for crystal-light dual-series pet were even rarer than crystal-dark dual-series pets.
If they couldn’t find crystal-light dual-series resources in the future, perhaps an unprecedented dark-fire-crystal triple attribute pet would be a good choice as well.
On the other side, watching the transaction between David Jones and Claire Guarneri, the Dragon-Devouring Tree had a sudden flash of inspiration.
Before serving as the examiner for this practical examination, its beastmaster had told it that if it came across a talented new beastmaster during the examination, it could use one or two Dragon Blood Fruits for further testing, and it would take those suitable beastmasters as its disciples.
As for this, the Dragon-Devouring Tree simply let the words go in one ear and out the other, intending to just muddle through it.
As an expert in fishing, the Dragon Blood Fruit was what it used for fishing, or rather, as bait to lure dragons, and there was no extra bait to give to mediocre beastmasters.
But thinking of the tempting fragrance coming from David Jones’s body and the irresistible desire to swallow it in one bite, the Dragon-Devouring Tree began to think that bait was nothing more than a worldly possession, and only the delicious dragon blood was truly fragrant!
After that, the four-member team of David Jones continued to move on to the next level.
Maybe it was because of the previous Beast Tide, but they hardly encountered any beasts along the way, and the few Class IV lower-level Wind Spiders they occasionally encountered were solved by David Jones and Margaret Yule together.
Under the strengthening of the Double Frozen Wasteland, even the Class II lower-level Frost Falcon could inflict considerable damage on the Wind Spiders by using long-range skills, but it could not defeat them completely. After letting the Frost Falcon perform a two-tier show, David Jones signaled Rainbow to finish the job.
In this way, they gradually realized the huge gap between the two sides, and the Frost Falcon, which used to be unyielding, finally lowered its proud head in front of Rainbow.
Yi! (* 0 ) (There’s a forest ahead, and there are dragon-type resources too!) A seemingly lazy Rainbow suddenly raised its head, seriously reminding them..
