#261 - Chapter 261: A Crowd of People
My second skill actually mutated into exotic beasts! These are even more precious than mounts, true battle companions.
Their value lies not only in their exceptionally high attributes but, more importantly, in their role as a unique and highly effective offensive tool for Beast Tamers.
Without exotic beasts, the Beast Tamer profession is essentially crippled, significantly reducing their damage output!
Moreover, the scarcity of exotic beasts, both in the Star Origin Mall and in private transactions, has caused their prices to skyrocket.
Any exotic beast that appears in the Star Origin Mall is quickly snapped up, and those with high growth potential and attributes are especially sought after!
Shen Xingyan looked at the harvest notification before him, recalling the information he had gathered with some excitement.
Before his awakening, he had already decided against considering the Beast Tamer profession, as it was known to be powerful but also extremely expensive.
Now, unexpectedly, he was able to obtain so many exotic beasts, a twist of fate indeed!
As Shen Xingyan pondered this, his hands didn't stop, and he directly harvested everything into his backpack space.
As he finished harvesting, a Star Origin notification appeared before his eyes:
"Congratulations! You have harvested 16 cows, gaining 6400 Farmer profession experience points."
Looking at the 6400 experience points in the Star Origin notification, a smile couldn't help but appear on Shen Xingyan's face.
With this experience, he was only about twenty thousand experience points away from leveling up!
Thinking of this, he nodded in satisfaction, his mood becoming even more cheerful.
Immediately afterward, Shen Xingyan opened the Star Origin Mall and checked the purchase price for these cows (exotic beasts).
When he saw the sold-out tag and the price listed, his eyes lit up—it actually reached 8 gold coins!
This price was a full 3 gold coins higher than the previous purchase price for mounts! Such a price undoubtedly demonstrated the value and rarity of these exotic beasts.
However, after successfully selling the peony at the pawnshop last time, Shen Xingyan had already made a plan in his mind.
Therefore, he decided not to rush to sell them.
With this thought in mind, he opened the Star Origin Mall and spent a certain amount of money to buy 16 hopeful little calves.
Then, he gently placed these adorable little fellows in the pasture, hoping that in a few days, they would bring him unexpected gains.
He then returned to the farmland, and for the sake of going to the general store to collect money next, he bought a bottle of Transformation Potion from the Star Origin Mall for dozens of silver coins, which could continuously change his appearance for an hour.
And that wasn't enough. To better fit the image of an 'old farmer,' he directly disguised himself to resemble the old farmer statue from when he first entered the Star Origin world. At first glance, they were indeed quite similar.
"Right now, I don't have much money on hand, so I can only waste a bit and buy a one-time Transformation Potion. Once these exotic beasts are sold, I can spend some gold coins to buy a 'Disguise' mask that can be transformed an unlimited number of times."
"That way, I don't have to worry about being recognized or revealing anything when going to the general store in the future!"
After transforming, Shen Xingyan looked around and, finding that he couldn't be recognized at all, took out the key to the general store and instantly teleported there!
But as soon as his figure appeared, he realized that he hadn't appeared inside the general store but in a place far away from it.
Looking at the bright Star Origin sky above his head, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but be stunned, thinking:
"What's going on? Why did I appear here? Didn't the introduction to the key say that I could instantly teleport to the general store?"
Somewhat puzzled, he turned to look in the direction of his general store, only to see a dense crowd of people, packed together without any gaps.
Compared to the previously deserted street, it now seemed like a completely different place, without the feeling it had before.
"The owner of this general store was actually squeezed out by the customers? That's a bit outrageous!
Although I knew early on that my 'Longevity Fruit' would be very effective at attracting customers, I didn't expect it to be this good. It's simply explosively good!"
Thinking this, Shen Xingyan looked at his specially altered appearance, intended to avoid attracting attention, and couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling like he had gone a bit overboard.
"With so much traffic, wouldn't it be a pity not to take advantage of it?" After reacting to his initial surprise, a smile appeared on Shen Xingyan's lips.
Remotely controlling the general store to close, he 'barred' all the crowded people inside from leaving, then quickly teleported over and swiftly listed his 16 exotic beasts for a flat price of 15 gold coins.
This price was already far higher than the Star Origin Mall's selling price, but Shen Xingyan wasn't too worried, as he understood the principle of rare goods commanding high prices. Appropriately increasing the gold coins wouldn't be a problem for those with money.
Then, without any hesitation, he directly took the money from the counter and, after setting the store's opening hours to close at 2 p.m. tomorrow, quickly returned to the profession space.
At the same time, the closing of the general store made the crowd realize something, and they began to frantically knock on the door. As Shen Xingyan left, the general store reopened, and the crowd instantly poured in.
When they saw that new products had been put on the shelves, and that they were exotic beasts, the scene suddenly became extremely noisy.
The reason they were crowding here, besides admiring the 'Longevity Fruit,' was mainly to block the owner of the general store, wanting to discuss the sale of the 'Longevity Fruit' as soon as possible.
But how could they have imagined that they waited for someone but didn't see them, which gave them a strange feeling.
While they were somewhat surprised and disappointed, their gazes turned to the neatly arranged 16 exotic beasts.
"This is a big deal! So many exotic beasts, and all in the same stage. It seems that this senior has his own way of obtaining them. Sure enough, the strength of a big shot who can grow a 'Longevity Fruit' is indeed unfathomable!"
While they were somewhat sighing, some people had already started to take action. Although this pricing was already considered high in the market, it couldn't withstand the fact that it was sold by a 'big shot.' It wouldn't be bad to buy it back to get some luck. It's worth the price!
