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.

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!”
