Chapter 7 Waterfall Climbing

Li Qian was very happy after getting one million yuan from Fatty An, and sincerely invited him to do research with him.

Unfortunately, Fatty An refused on the grounds that he didn't have enough time and needed to meditate to improve his mental strength.

Of course, these are all excuses, and the fundamental reason is probably lack of belief.

I don’t believe that Li Qian can really research the evolution method of a potential overlord-level pet.

Seeing Fatty An driving away in his flashy red sports car, Li Qian smiled.

When the research results come out, your eyes will pop out.

At the same time, in the red sports car, Fatty An glanced at the rearview mirror and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Just now, he promised to give one million, saying that he was threatened, but in fact it was a matter of mutual consent.

Just as Li Qian knows Fatty An, Fatty An also knows Li Qian very well.

Although the two were good friends and had a very close relationship, Li Qian had never made any improper advances towards him financially over the years.

Whether you call it a friendship between gentlemen or a friendship of like-minded people, the relationship between the two is quite pure.

This was the first time that Li Qian took the initiative to talk about money.

There is still so much demand.

Fatty An believed that Li Qian was definitely not making a move without a purpose.

Regardless of whether there was some kind of family change, or he really wanted to study the evolutionary methods of dominant pets, in short, he was definitely not fooling around.

Spending this one million is more of an investment in Li Qian as a person than funding his project.

He, An Junjie, looks stupid, but he is actually smart.

After saying goodbye to Fatty An, Li Qian did not delay and quickly entered the pet market.

According to his estimation, the only condition missing for the Koi's evolution now is the potion that can stimulate the dragon's bloodline.

Because of this, he had only one purpose in coming to the pet market this time, which was to find this medicine.

He went straight to the pharmacy store.

He entered a store and took a look. There were two sales clerks inside, but they were chatting. When they saw Li Qian come in, they probably thought that the latter would not have any purchasing power, so they did not come over to introduce him.

Li Qian was also happy to have some peace and quiet.

I just started reading it by myself.

Anyway, there are introductory texts on the medicines.

After a quick glance, Li Qian went straight to the natural herbal medicine section.

Wild koi can evolve into green-scaled dragons because they must have eaten some rare treasures by chance, and what they can eat certainly does not include human synthetic medicines or pills.

Although there might be alternative medicines or pills with similar functions for this kind of rare treasure, at this moment we don't even know what this rare treasure is, so looking for medicines or pills for it is nothing but a pipe dream.

Coming to the natural herb display cabinet, Li Qian began to look at it attentively.

There weren't many herbs here, so he planned to look at them one by one.

Cold Heart Grass, an elite resource, can be used to evolve pets such as Frost Spider and Snow Fox, and is priced at RMB 3.5 per plant.

Yunyan Fruit, a commander-level resource, can be used to evolve pets such as Skylark, Gale Wolf, and Golden-Winged Goose. It is priced at 5.9 per piece.

……

After looking around and finding nothing, Li Qian left the pet pharmacy.

Without delay, he walked towards the second pet pharmacy.

Just then, a stall not far away caught his attention.

There was a large fish tank on the stall, and next to it was a wooden sign that read, "Mutated Koi, only 10."

Li Qian was quite curious when he saw this scene, so he walked over.

"Young man, my mutant koi is not ordinary..." Seeing Li Qian approaching, the middle-aged male boss with a full beard began to introduce him.

Li Qian stretched out his hand, waved it, and then pointed to his eyes, "No need to introduce, I can see it myself."

He understands one truth very well.

Buying a pet is like buying an antique. You should listen less to stories and watch more and observe more.

As the Eye of True Vision was activated, the information about the Koi in the fish tank appeared in front of him. [Name: Koi]

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: Ordinary Level 5]

[Potential: Ordinary Level 7]

[Skills: Fish Leap (Perfect), Waterfall Climbing (Proficient)]

Seeing the information about the koi, Li Qian's eyes shrank slightly.

It's really a coincidence.

The appearance of this koi just confirmed one thing...his previous guess was correct.

The evolution of Koi does require the skill of waterfall climbing, and it can also learn the skill of waterfall climbing.

Although he had a plan in mind, on the surface, Li Qian showed a look of disdain, "What kind of mutant koi is this, breathing heavily? It's just that it has mastered one more skill."

"Little boss, you don't know that the real value of my koi lies not in its skills itself, but in its research value."

"You know, one more skill means one more possibility of evolution."

The bearded boss started chatting.

Although in a sense, what he said did make some sense, but Li Qian knew very well that it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

"Evolution, haha, this koi is just a useless pet. So many breeding masters can't figure it out. Boss, do you think I can do it?" Li Qian also started to show off his acting skills.

"Young boss, maybe you are the one with extraordinary talent..." The bearded boss talked nonsense and tried to deceive people.

"Haha." Li Qian smiled faintly, "I just saw that it has a waterfall climbing skill. It just so happens that there is a rockery and flowing water in the pond at home. I guess it would be very beautiful if it could climb the waterfall."

"Yes, yes, it is beautiful. My koi, kept in the pond, can both jump out of the water and climb upstream. It is absolutely ornamental!" The bearded boss immediately echoed Li Qian's words.

Just now, he was still worried about how to find a new selling point if he couldn't use the big pie of evolution to fool the customers. Unexpectedly, the customers found it for him themselves.

Li Qian was silent and thought for a while. After a moment, he said, "But this koi is just an ornamental fish after all. One hundred thousand yuan is too much. I can't buy it."

"An ordinary koi fish costs at most 10,000 yuan each. But for its waterfall climbing skill, I can pay a little more, 18,000 yuan!" Li Qian said deliberately with a painful expression.

Actually, it wasn't intentional.

It really hurts. If you don't count the one million promised by Fatty An, all his pocket money added up is no more than 50,000 yuan.

"Little boss, you are kidding, this is a mutant koi, worth at least 80,000!"

"Twenty thousand!"

"Seventy-five thousand!"

"Twenty-two thousand!"

"..."

Finally, after some negotiation, the deal was concluded at 42,000.

At this price, if you don’t know the secret of Koi evolution, you will definitely lose a lot of money.

But for Li Qian, it was a huge profit.

What's more, he also mentioned the Beast Taming Ball.

A beast-taming ball would cost at least several thousand yuan.

It was developed by the Breeder Association and is specifically used to store uncontracted pets.

The function is somewhat similar to the Poke Ball in a certain cartoon in the previous life book.

It just doesn't have any functions like restoring physical strength or recovering from injuries.

To put it bluntly, it's just a temporary pet warehouse.

After all, some pets are very large in size. If they appear in the city without a contract, it would be very dangerous.

Even a koi, a pet that is not dangerous at all, like our family's Afu, is half a meter long. The one owned by the bearded boss is even longer, reaching seventy centimeters, making it even more inconvenient to transport.

If you carry a big fish tank and walk around the city like this, it won’t be long before the police come to your door and invite you for tea.
