For the origin of Yangos, Ye Zhongming had always felt puzzled.
Previously, in the novice battlefield, he had seen three beings that closely resembled Yangos. After inquiring, he learned that their official name was the Lizard Race.
In terms of appearance, there was little difference between them and Yangos, but the biggest issue was that Yangos possessed magic crystals; it was a mutated life form of the roulette type, while these Lizard Race beings were indigenous to the universe.
Substantively, they should be two different types of life.
However, Ye Zhongming couldn't find the connection between them for a while. The memories that occasionally surfaced from Yangos indicated that he had kin, yet Ye Zhongming always felt that the Lizard Race shouldn't be Yangos' kin.
But just now, he saw a creature on the promotional light barrier in this store that was almost indistinguishable from Yangos and also had a magic crystal on its forehead.
There was too little relevant information from the Star-Eye Clan; he couldn’t find anything, and after visiting the Library Palace, he didn’t have time to investigate this matter.
Now, suddenly seeing what he estimated to be Yangos’ kin, how could he remain calm?
The others could only follow Ye Zhongming into a place called "Solid Companion" Battle Beast Shop.
This shop was actually not very large, but it was tastefully decorated. Since the battle beasts were monitored through light barriers and there were no physical items, naturally, there were no unpleasant odors or noisy sounds. The monitoring screens were perfectly embedded among exquisite simulated landscapes, without appearing chaotic at all.
Seeing Ye Zhongming and the others enter, a woman from the Su Clan came over to receive them with a warm smile, showing no contempt because they were outsiders.
Since they had entered, Ye Zhongming didn’t rush. Under the introduction of the female attendant, he sat in a separate area and looked at the list of battle beasts and other information displayed on the light barrier.
Super large clans naturally have their own grandeur and scale, as evidenced by the myriad battle beast shops here.
On the goods list alone, over thirty thousand types of battle beasts were listed.
Ye Zhongming couldn't help but wonder, if this was just one shop, then within the entire Su Clan, with ten commercial centers and countless shops, how massive would the battle beast trading volume be? Did the Su Clan value battle beasts this much?
"Regardless of the type of shop, those with a bit of strength basically have branches in every commercial center because Su City is too large, and going to other districts' commercial centers consumes too much time. Therefore, the categories in each commercial district are quite comprehensive, and the chain format is very popular here. In several other districts, the same 'Solid Companion' shop should all originate from the same breeding farm."
Jie Su's assistant explained to Ye Zhongming, "Moreover, the Su Clan is the leading race of the camp, the strongest in power and the most developed in business. Other races that depend on us will also choose to come here to buy what they need. Battle beasts are not just auxiliary combat power; they are also consumables for various races when cultivating newcomers, so this market is quite large."
With this explanation, Ye Zhongming understood that if the Su Clan could really monopolize the entire camp's battle beast trading, it would undoubtedly be a huge business.
Even casually estimating the profits, Ye Zhongming felt that even though he had already obtained twenty million years gold from the Library Palace, he was still broke.
Ye Zhongming checked the list of battle beast types and found that there were almost all ranges, from the cheapest few hundred years gold to the most expensive, which was several million years gold.
He specifically looked at the most expensive one; Ye Zhongming didn’t recognize it. Its name was very ordinary: "Devourer Beast." It usually fed on various types of equipment, and one could imagine that it preferred energy-containing materials. This type of battle beast had a rapid strength increase, powerful abilities, and importantly, it could attach itself to its master during combat. Not only could it provide the master with extremely high defense, but it could also freely use the various abilities it had acquired from the equipment it devoured.
