Beast Tamer: Why is the intelligence system a game announcement?

Chapter 7 Material Monetization

Damn it, why would a mouse dig up a porn book?

Putting down the yellow book in his hand, Lin Wu felt a little numb, and his expression towards the hallucinogenic insect became somewhat complicated.

"Hey, insect... next time, don't take these man-made things. Take something that looks like a gift from nature, okay?"

He sighed, and taking advantage of the absence of rats, picked up his phone and started checking prices.

The market price for a luminous stone is 400 yuan, and a shady grass can sell for 1,200 yuan. As for "A Guide to Appreciating Elves of Other Races"... Lin Wu flipped through the price tags at the back, and it was 20 yuan a copy.

However, it seems this item hasn't been sold for a long time. Lin Wu checked carefully and found that surprisingly, hardly anyone was selling it; secondhand platforms were full of people looking to buy it…

Maybe I could try selling myself to Bai Miaomiao?

Looking at Bai Miaomiao's profile picture on her phone, Lin Wu muttered to herself.

A little erotic comic, a little erotic book, doesn't seem like much, bro.

Let's ask around after we get out of the sewer; we'll sell as many as we can.

Lin Wu put away her phone while thinking about it.

Not bad, a great success on the first trip, earning 1,600.

It was just past six in the evening, and Lin Wu planned to stay in the sewer a little longer.

Weekends are limited, and there won't be as much time for searching and fighting after school starts. So, we need to run as many search and fighting games as possible right now.

So he turned to look at the psychedelic insect, who was stretching and thinking he had made a lot of money, and his face showed a look of disappointment.

"Wake up, get up and keep fighting!"

He grabbed the hallucinogenic insect and said, "How can you sleep at your age? Have you earned enough money to just lie around and start sleeping?"

"Eeeeeee??"

The hallucinogenic insect looked up in confusion, only to find its beast tamer already carrying it and running down the sewers...

At the same time, he wore an extremely cruel smile.

"Hehehe! We're not getting out of here today unless we empty the sewers!"

Psychedelic bug: ?

For a moment, a question mark appeared on the psychedelic insect's forehead, and it protested.

And what about me? I'm the one who's working! Doesn't anyone care about how I feel?

........................

As it turns out, that ghost-type spirit stone likely exhausted Linwu and the psychic bug's luck.

During the next five hours of exploration, they discovered a total of three groups of ghost rats. Unfortunately, none of them were as rich as the first group.

Even if the bug uses Shadow Step to take as much as possible from every group of Ghost Rats, it would only take about a thousand items per trip.

Even so, Lin Wu had to admit that this was a really fast way to make money...

After robbing... no, I mean, distributing the spoils among the four groups of ghost rats, Lin Wu had a satisfactory amount of materials at his disposal:

Three Glimmering Stones, worth approximately 1200; a bundle of Shadow Grass, worth around 2000; and a Ghost Orb, which can slightly increase the power of Ghost-type moves—essentially an item condensed by the Ghost Rat using its Ghost trait. Although the effect is minimal, it can still fetch nearly 3000, and it's quite rare…

In addition, there is a book called "A Guide to Appreciating Alien Elf Girls" that Lin Wu is unsure about pricing.

In other words, I made a total of six thousand yuan on this trip!

I have to say, the Beast Tamer + Announcement information is a quick way to make money, guys!

Here comes the seed funding!

And so, immersed in the pleasure of money, Lin Wu didn't even feel tired for a long time, and ran wildly for five hours while dragging the hallucinogenic insect along.

After being chased by who-knows-how-many waves of ghost rats, running until he was breathless and feeling a hollowness in his stomach, Lin Wu finally made a decision while lying on the damp ground of the sewer.

"We should probably head back now."

He turned his head and looked at the hallucinogenic insect.

At this moment, the psychedelic insect, covered in dust and sewer mud, looked at Lin Wu and, after hearing its beast tamer's words, couldn't help but have tears welling up in its eyes.

"Ee... Ee..."

Then, the psychedelic insect, exhausted from running, let out a faint, weak sound.

Can the little bug finally go back...?

Is there no need to run away anymore?

Seeing the tears glistening in the eyes of the psychedelic insect, Lin Wu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not voice her thought that "I actually intended to search again."

Although it was tiring to run around, making money was really satisfying.

I imagine that when the insect receives its first share of gold, it will have the same feeling.

Lin Wu thought to himself. Then, he couldn't help but sigh and turn to look at his side.

The reason I decided to leave now is not entirely because I'm tired... but because it really has come to an end.

Looking at the upward staircase in front of him and the dead end at the end of the sewer, Lin Wu opened the game announcement and confirmed that this was one of the evacuation points.

However, this evacuation point leads to the outskirts of the city.

Thinking of this, Lin Wu frowned, her eyes flickering.

In this world, what lies outside a city is usually not another city... but countless wildernesses.

The wilderness teems with dangerous spirits and abundant resources. Wilderness hunters frequently risk their lives to sneak into it in search of treasure, with an extremely high mortality rate. The dangers are enough to deter most beast tamers from even venturing there.

Although there are so-called "safe routes," the resources on those routes have long been looted.

Lin Wu is unlikely to evacuate from this evacuation point. He doesn't want to have finally managed to evacuate, only to be ambushed and eaten by some random elf at the evacuation point.

Lin Wu might come and take a look around when the insects have grown up. As for now, let's leave it at that.

Let's go back the way we came.

Lin Wu looked down at the hallucinogenic insect and spoke, then picked it up and followed the direction he remembered, navigating a maze-like path out of the sewer system.

Half an hour later...

Lin Wu struggled to climb out of the sewer, closed the manhole cover, lay on the ground for a while, then picked up the hallucinogenic insect and walked out step by step.

"When did homeless people start living in this neighborhood...?"

"I don't know, he's such a young child, and he looks quite pitiful."

On the way home, some elderly people who were taking a walk noticed Lin Wu covered in mud and muttered to themselves. Lin Wu's eyes twitched slightly, and she quickened her pace.

Go back and take a shower, you need to get rid of the hallucinogenic bugs too... Sigh, these people don't understand the benefits of the sewer system.

Do you know how profitable the sewer industry is? I bet you can't even imagine!

I'm telling you the sewers are developing incredibly fast, are you deaf?

The sewers hold a treasure trove, you people.

Lin Wu sighed inwardly and quickly returned home.

Turning on the light revealed a somewhat shabby little apartment. It was a standard one-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom apartment, totaling only about thirty square meters. The furnishings were rather simple, but Lin Wu had gotten used to it.

He immediately put down his loot, went into the bathroom, and after washing up, he put the hallucinogenic insects in the bathroom, finally getting himself clean.

After lying in bed for a while, around midnight, Lin Wu felt a little more energetic. She opened her eyes and let out a soft breath.

They're showing some energy now; it's time to start monetizing them.

He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and hesitated for a moment.

After converting the collected materials into cash and having the money in hand, you can officially start cultivating the psychedelic insects.

Hmm... let's cash in on that book first.

Thinking of this, Lin Wu silently opened the communication with Bai Miaomiao.

[Lin Wu: Are you there?]

Lin Wu sent a photo.

[Lin Wu: Do you want this book?]

[Bai Miaomiao:? 】

[Bai Miaomiao: Don't slander me out of thin air. Do I look like the kind of person who would watch this kind of thing...?]

[Lin Wu: Two hundred is out]

Bai Miaomiao has sent you a transfer of 200 yuan.

[Lin Wu: ?]

Looking at Bai Miaomiao's text message, Lin Wu slapped his thigh.

Damn it, we sold it at a loss!

No way... We can't afford to lose money like this; we have to find a way to make up for it.

Lin Wu pondered for a moment, and then suddenly sent a message to Bai Miaomiao.

Lin Wu sent a photo.

[Lin Wu: Will you accept these materials?]

On the other end of the phone, Bai Miaomiao frowned as she read Lin Wu's words.

But soon, she opened the photo, her brows relaxed, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"Huh? The Ghost Orb?"
