Chapter 77 What I Just Ordered Wasn't Needed.

"Reward obtained: Slime defense increased by 5%."

John said, "Orion, don't be impulsive!"

John chose to escape, pulling David along to wait quietly.

Before long, the dashing Mia emerged.

"Mia!" David shouted.

At that moment, the students who were coming in and out of the school gate all turned to look, their gazes filled with awe as they looked at Mia.

Orion asked, "Mia, is this your brother?"

Orion's attitude instantly changed. "In the future, you can enter the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic at any time."

"Mia, you're amazing."

David felt triumphant; he would surely be happy if he stayed in Skylight City.

Mia said, "Let's go. I'll show you around the school."

Mia took them on a tour.

John and David were very curious about this school.

It took them three hours to explore a Beast Manor.Many students were dueling inside and various powerful contract spirits opened John's eyes.

Ava's A-grade contract spirit was impressive at South River High School, but at the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic, A-grade contract spirits were everywhere.

While the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic's admission standards emphasized total exam scores, the average potential level of students' contract spirits was A.

Only the first contract spirit was A-grade, and upon becoming a black iron-level Beast Tamer, it could evolve into S-grade. An S-grade contract spirit was considered the foundation for success at the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic.

Mia's Crimson Flame Dragon was even above S-grade and capable of defeating most students. However, this alone wasn't enough to make the students at the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic so fearful.

John speculated that Mia's second contract spirit was also very powerful.

The three of them had lunch at the school cafeteria. Theyenjoyed a free meal and savored rare beast meat.

Just this alone made John desire to get into this school even more.

Due to the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic's vastness, it took them three days to get a preliminary understanding of the school.

The library, the Beast Manor, and the teaching buildings, had all greatly astounded John.

Inside, there were institutions such as the Beast Training Academy and the Beast Mastery Family, which were absolutely at the top level in the country.

Three days later.

"John, I'm off to take the exam!"

David headed to Skylight City Culinary Academy with his bag.

The usually mischievous David had a serious expression on his face. This exam was crucial for his future.

If he had taken the exam directly, he wouldn't have been able to pass, especially since his performance in cultural subjects was poor.

However, the independent exam at the Culinary Academy was different. It only tested your cooking skills. Ifyou could cook perfect beast food with maximum nutritional value, you could become a student at the Culinary Academy.

John cheered him on. "I'll be waiting for good news from you!"

After David left, John stayed alone in the hotel.

Mia had some matters to attend to today, so John felt a bit bored.

John said, "I'll wander around Skylight City."

John left the hotel and headed to the Beast Taming commercial street in Skylight City.

Most of the shops sold basic potions without any black iron-level materials or potions, as these were traded on the Beast Tamer Association's website.

However, some shops specialized in selling high-quality items, albeit at exorbitant prices.

John entered a shop called Runebound Relics and immediately noticed the Beast Taming pearls displayed on the counter.

John asked, "Sir, how much for a basic-level Beast Taming pearl?"

These were cores from mutant beasts; swallowing one would increase Beast-Taming power. It was suitable for Beast Tamers below the black iron level.

"It's fifteen thousand Stellar Coins!"

Elijah was a lean old man who was studying an unknown bone fragment in his hand with a magnifying glass.

John said, "It's so expensive!"

John hadn't expected a basic-level pearl to be so costly.

John asked, "What about a black iron-level Beast Taming pearl?"

Elijah glanced up slightly and calmly stated, "That's sixty thousand Stellar Coins."

John didn't expect Elijah to be so humorous.

He began to look at the other materials. Not only were there Beast Taming pearls, there was also a pulsating heart in a glass container.

There was no price tag, but it read 'Lord-level Gale Hawk Heart, Talent Skill: Wind Rest.'

John didn't even need to think. The price would definitely be astonishing. After all, even the blue eyes of the Ice Hare Lord were worth at least two million Stellar Coins.

In addition to these items, there were also some black iron-level rare herbs priced much higher than on the Beast Tamer Association website.

Elijah said, "If you're not buying, don't linger here."

Elijah was getting a bit irritated. He hadhaving spent three days without being able to come to a conclusion.

As John was about to speak, options suddenly appeared before him.

[Option One: Leave the shop.Completion reward: Fine Flame Potion.]

[Option Two: Purchase the Gale Hawk Heart.Completion reward: Skill Book: Power of Rebound.]

[Option Three: Inform Elijah that the bone fragment he's been studying is just a wild boar bone. Completion reward: Moderate Beast-Taming power.]

John was taken aback. He hadn't expected to trigger options.

But he was a bit torn at the moment. The second option was definitely the best, but it was too expensive.

He had a total of three million Stellar Coins on him, but he didn't know if he could afford it.

The rewards for the first and third options were too ordinary.

"Do you want to buy anything or not?" Elijah's brow furrowed impatiently.

"Of course I want to buy something, but I need to think it over," John replied.

John pointed confidently at the items on the counter and said, "I'll take all of these."

A hint of surprise appeared in Elijah's eyes as he looked at John. Elijah thought, 'He must be very wealthy.'

John said, "And all the herbs in this row, and all the Beast Taming pearls in the other row."

Elijah was excited. It seemed like John was going to buy everything in his shop.

John pointed at various items, paused for a moment, and then said, "Forget what I said earlier."

Elijah suddenly stood up, teeth clenched, and said, "If you're not buying anything, get out and stop joking around here."

"I want to buy the Gale Hawk Heart." John calmly inquired, "How much for the heart?"

"Three million Stellar Coins," Elijah replied, now with a less pleasant attitude.

John's eyeswidened.

John said, "Can't you make it a bit cheaper?"

Elijah answered, "No!"

John stroked his chin, lost in thought. Three million Stellar Coins for skill was not a bad deal, even if he didn't comprehend the talent skill of the Gale Hawk.

"I'll buy it!"

John waved his hand decisively, without any hesitation.

He was earning Stellar Coins to nurture contact spirits, after all.

Three million Stellar Coins could guarantee tha a contracted spirit would fully comprehend a skill. It was a feat that would drive anyone around the world crazy.

"You actually want to buy this?" Elijah's eyes widened. He thought, 'Is he playing a trick on me again?'

It wasn't until John completed the bank transfer that Elijah finally reacted.

He immediately put on a kind smile. "You really have a good eye. I didn't misjudge you. The moment I saw you, I thought you were a genius!"

"Your attitude changes really fast." The corner of John's mouth twitched.

At the same time, he felt a bit of anticipation as he looked at the heart in his hand.
