Chapter 261 Black Market, Gambling on Eggs

It was precisely the third quarter of Zi time (11:45 PM).

Right on time, the door opened.

What greeted everyone was an extremely bustling night market.

Moreover, quite a few people, just like Lin Chen and his group, emerged from the houses behind the market.

Lin Chen noticed that his soul perception still extended to a distance of two meters.

He could even hear the conversation between a man and a woman nearby.

These might not all be humans.

But, without exception, they had all transformed into human form, indistinguishable from humans.

It seemed Lin Chen didn't need to disguise himself; otherwise, he would be the odd one out.

"Brother, don't go gambling on eggs again this time! Last time, you gambled away all our resources, hmph!"

"Cai Ling, trust me just one more time. This time, I can definitely hatch a divine beast. If I do, I can earn back everything, and even get you a divine beast..."

"Heh, you say that every time, but what's the result?"

"This is the last time, I promise. Let's go, Shop No. 8 is open. Let's go take a look!"

"..."

The siblings walked away.

Lin Chen, upon hearing this, was piqued with interest.

What was gambling on eggs?

He had only heard of gambling on stones, but that was something that had been played to death even before Blue Star was invaded.

Many people had even gone bankrupt because of it…

In short, it was like a scam.

Judging from the siblings' conversation, gambling on eggs seemed to be a scam as well.

However, Lin Chen still followed them.

He planned to take a look.

It was okay to just watch without playing.

Soon, they arrived at Shop No. 8.

This shop was quite large.

And there were many people.

"Open! Open! Open!"

Many people gathered together, shouting loudly.

*Bip!*

The next moment, a five-colored spiritual bird appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Young Master Xuan is awesome! Another Epic-grade one, haha... Following Young Master Xuan, we're making big money, brothers!"

Someone exclaimed joyfully.

Then, Lin Chen heard people around him discussing.

"Is it real? Is that person really Young Master Xuan?"

"Look, he's not wearing any mask. How many people dare to be so bold in the black market here in Earth City of the Eastern God-Demon Battlefield? This person is the young master of the Liancheng Chamber of Commerce, Liancheng Xuan!"

"I heard that Liancheng Xuan is a genius, already a Third Revolution Peak, God Envoy Realm Peak, and he's especially good at identifying pet eggs. He's never been wrong about the ones he's picked. Should we go follow him and buy a few?"

"Let's go! Although the odds are low, it's a sure profit!"

"..."

Many people went over, following behind Young Master Xuan.

"Brother, should we also go follow Liancheng Xuan and buy a few?"

Lin Chen again heard the woman named Cai Ling speaking.

"Hmph, I'm not going to follow him. Liancheng Xuan… what is he! Ling'er, you remember, our family fell to this state because of him. You have to stay away from him in the future!"

"But, making money shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"..."

Lin Chen shook his head when he heard this.

However, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Through soul perception, Lin Chen already knew what race the siblings were... Ice Phoenix Clan.

The kind of phoenix bird clan that excelled in ice-type magic.

Also known as the phoenix.

However, Lin Chen knew that in the game, phoenixes and huang (female phoenixes) were two separate races.

There was even the Luan bird clan.

These races should all be considered close relatives.

Unexpectedly, these races had taken root here in the God-Demon Battlefield.

The previous Liancheng Xuan was a Fire Phoenix.

Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix…

It seemed they were really enemies!

However, Lin Chen agreed with Cai Ling's words... Making money definitely wasn't a problem. Who would pass up money?

This Liancheng Xuan was being praised as so miraculous. Lin Chen also went over, planning to buy a few.

However, when he stepped forward, his eyes lit up…

That's right, these pet eggs were all the same size.

And they were all the same color!

Even the patterns couldn't reveal any clues.

But Lin Chen was a 'player'!

These eggs could all be touched.

And as long as Lin Chen touched a pet egg, he could see a prompt indicating what quality it was.

So Lin Chen began to touch them one by one…

As expected of the black market in the God-Demon Battlefield!

The lowest quality pet egg here was purple, then there were gold and iridescent!

However, these pet eggs were different from what Lin Chen had seen in the game. There was also a layer of special material wrapped around them, completely concealing the purple, gold, and iridescent shells, making it impossible to judge from the outside.

Moreover, these special materials were almost all naturally formed.

They also seemed to have the effect of isolating soul perception. In the black market, which already had the effect of blocking soul perception, this layer of material was like double insurance.

It was estimated that only experts at the Heavenly God Realm could stand in front of the pet eggs and conduct soul perception inside.

Perhaps that was why a game like gambling on eggs was born!

After all, only experts below the Heavenly God Realm would come to this black market. At the Heavenly God level, there was no need to trade in the black market at all.

But Lin Chen unexpectedly discovered that with his soul power, he could actually penetrate these shells and delve into the pet eggs, but he could only see one corner of the pet egg.

For example, right now, Lin Chen felt a furry little paw inside the pet egg he was touching.

From this, he could judge that it seemed to be a feline pet... After all, Lin Chen recognized the paw of a feline in its cub form.

But, it was hard to say what breed it was.

Iridescent eggs were at least Perfect quality. How many kinds of Myth-grade feline pets were there?

Lin Chen fell into thought.

It seemed that to participate in this game, he still needed one thing…

A bestiary!

Just at this moment, Lin Chen saw Cai Ling's brother take out a booklet and say, "This is the pet bestiary I've collected over the years... Little sister, you wait, this time I definitely won't let you down again!"

A pet bestiary he collected himself?

This was really getting what he wanted!

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

But, how could he borrow it?

Just at this moment, a discordant voice sounded: "Yo, isn't this Young Master Feng Yuling of the Ice Phoenix Clan? Miss Feng Cai Ling is also here! What, here to play gambling on eggs? Hehe, dare to gamble with my Young Master Xuan?"

Liancheng Xuan!

He came directly in front of the Feng Yuling siblings.

Without a doubt, this was a provocation.

Lin Chen frowned upon seeing this.

Someone was here to cause trouble.

He thought about it, then took a step back, retreating behind the crowd.

He didn't want to cause trouble for himself for no reason. It seemed this bestiary was…

Lin Chen planned to leave.

But at this time, Feng Yuling said, "I'm not gambling with you. Can't I just play on my own?"

Refused?

Lin Chen stopped.

If there was no trouble, he could try it out.

The power came back on at 12 o'clock at night. I wrote three chapters, which is to make up for yesterday.
