Chapter 157: Opening a Blind Box to Get an Advanced Beast Awakening Potion! The Blue Crystal Water Tiger Upgrades Again!
Lin Tianming suddenly laughed, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
[This guy... Could he have seen something?]
[Impossible... He's not a reborn person. No matter how strong his low-level combat power is, it can't compare to god-level understanding that only gods possess!]
Not only did Meng Xiyue suspect the motive behind Lin Tianming's laughter, but the person opening the blind box also paused due to his laughter.
"Why are you laughing? Did you see something?"
"No... I just suddenly thought of something happy and couldn't help it!"
Lin Tianming's nonsense was convincing because looking at his mere level eighteen, the person opening the blind box thought Lin Tianming couldn't possibly see through the restricted blind box.
Believing Lin Tianming's nonsense, the beast tamer who decided to take the risk opened the box first.
"It has to be a fire-type awakened beast, and a good breed at that!"
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Muttering blessings didn't change the outcome.
The first person to open the blind box revealed the weakest awakened beast, a caterpillar, and it was only level one, needing to be nurtured from scratch.
"Why is it the weakest awakened beast, a caterpillar? No! I can catch a bunch of these worthless awakened beasts for free in the Lost Forest. This is a thousand gold wasted!"
Holding his head in his hands, the first beast tamer was extremely regretful.
Everyone laughed because the first beast tamer spent a thousand gold to open such a worthless awakened beast.
[Pure clown, absolutely hilarious!]
[But there's a legend that the weakest caterpillar can awaken a dragon. After all, it cost a thousand gold, so keep it, haha!]
Meng Xiyue laughed heartily on the surface, her mind rich with thoughts, completely forgetting her earlier despair over never surpassing Lin Tianming.
The clerk laughed for a while but maintained professional etiquette by congratulating the first beast tamer.
"Congratulations to this guest for obtaining a wood-type awakened beast caterpillar. It's level one, needing to be nurtured from scratch, so you can form a bond!"
"Just my bad luck... But after spending a thousand gold, it hurts to throw it away. I'll keep it!"
With the atmosphere lightened by the first beast tamer, another person couldn't resist opening a blind box.
"I'll choose this one! My requirements are low, just a bottle of mid-level water-type beast enhancement potion, so I can at least break even!"
"Why is it a fire-type beast enhancement potion? Although it's also a beast enhancement potion, my main awakened beast is water-type!"
Although he broke even, the beast tamer was still a bit distressed because his main beast was water-type.
As people took the lead and successfully obtained a beast enhancement item, three more people opened blind boxes.
Unfortunately, these three did not get items to break even.
But compared to the first person, they were lucky because at least what they got was somewhat useful.
Suddenly, only five blind boxes were left. Seeing that the most valuable item inside hadn't been taken, Meng Xiyue decided to act.
Even though she didn't care much, since she participated, she had to choose the most valuable one.
Just as Meng Xiyue was about to act, Lin Tianming, who knew through her inner voice which was the most valuable, acted first.
"I'll choose this one!"
Meng Xiyue exploded at Lin Tianming's choice.
[This guy... Why did he choose the one I wanted!]
[Damn it! Even though I don't care for it, it's still something I chose!]
She pursed her lips, "You... Lin Tianming, I chose this one first!"
Lin Tianming laughed, "You chose first? But it seems like I was the first to speak up for this blind box, right?"
The clerk chimed in, "Miss, it was indeed this gentleman who chose first. I see you were chatting happily with him. You must be a couple, right? If you want it, you can wait for him to open it and give it to you as a gift!"
The clerk's words irritated Meng Xiyue, "Who is a couple with this scoundrel? Don't say things you don't understand! I just know him, we aren't even close!"
Seeing Meng Xiyue's anger rise, the clerk quickly apologized, "Miss, don't be angry. I spoke out of turn!"
Although Meng Xiyue was angry, she knew Lin Tianming had indeed acted first. Arguing further would be unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiyue, feeling a bit depressed, had to let it go.
"You chose first, so it's yours!"
Successfully seizing the opportunity by eavesdropping on Meng Xiyue's inner voice, Lin Tianming smiled slightly, "Then I'll open the box and see what good stuff is inside that even Meng Xiyue wanted!"
"Who is your Meng Xiyue? Just because the clerk tries to match us up, doesn't mean we have a good relationship!"
[Ah! I'm going crazy! This Lin Tianming really knows how to push his luck!]
Hearing Meng Xiyue's frustrated inner voice, Lin Tianming was delighted.
He opened the blind box that Meng Xiyue considered the most valuable in front of everyone.
As the blind box opened, a beast tamer immediately got excited, "It's an advanced beast awakening potion! Any beast below level fifteen on the verge of a bottleneck will instantly level up!"
The clerk immediately congratulated Lin Tianming, "Congratulations, sir. This advanced beast awakening potion is worth two thousand gold and is very useful for your level five water-type Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub!"
Although Meng Xiyue considered this advanced beast awakening potion garbage, thinking it wasn't worth using, she was still angry that Lin Tianming took the blind box she wanted to open.
Meng Xiyue, coming from the Meng family of North Shore City, a family of beast tamers, had such high standards that nothing here caught her eye, but that didn't mean other beast tamers weren't envious.
"A two-thousand gold advanced beast awakening potion, doubling the value of one thousand gold spent, such good luck!"
"Damn! I want that too. My water-type awakened beast has been stuck at level nine for a long time. I'm not a student of those high-level awakening academies. Leveling up is difficult. Using this would quickly level up!"
"How come he gets all the good stuff, while I get the weakest caterpillar!"
Listening to these envious and jealous remarks, Lin Tianming felt very proud.
He immediately took the advanced beast awakening potion and fed it to the Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub in Meng Xiyue's arms.
Seeing Lin Tianming approach, Meng Xiyue instinctively moved away.
"What... What are you doing?"
[This scoundrel, does he want to take advantage of me?]
Facing Meng Xiyue's vigilance, Lin Tianming pointed to the Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub lying in her arms.
"My Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub is in your arms, Xiyue. I have to get close to feed it the advanced beast awakening potion!"
Reminded by Lin Tianming, Meng Xiyue looked down at the cute Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub in her arms.
The cub's adorable face made her reluctantly allow Lin Tianming to approach.
"You can feed it!"
[Hmph, for the sake of the cute Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub, I'll reluctantly let you get close to me!]
Lin Tianming finally fed his Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub. He immediately fed the advanced beast awakening potion into its mouth.
As the Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub consumed the potion, its level aura began to rise rapidly.
In just a moment, the Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub rose from level five to level six.
Seeing the instant effect of the two-thousand-gold advanced beast awakening potion, Lin Tianming felt it was worth the thousand gold he spent.
At the same time, he wondered if he could buy more advanced beast awakening potions to quickly raise the Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub to level fifteen.
Noticing Lin Tianming's changing expression, Meng Xiyue, though not able to eavesdrop on thoughts, guessed what he was thinking.
She quickly reminded Lin Tianming, "Lin Tianming, this advanced beast awakening potion can be used by any beast below level fifteen, but using it more than once won't be effective. Overuse can even hinder a beast's progress. You can't harm your Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub by trying to push it too hard!"
