Chapter 262 The Ice Phoenix Siblings Who Depend on Each Other for Life

That Lian Chengxuan didn't act unreasonably.

After all, this was the black market.

Causing trouble here would get you kicked out.

Lin Chen's gaze was quietly fixed on Feng Yuling, mainly because he really wanted the illustrated guide in his hand.

"Little sister, this egg must be a Seven-Colored Mystical Phoenix. I feel it is. It’s a perfect match for you. Let's bet on this one, okay?"

Feng Yuling stopped in front of an egg.

Lin Chen secretly shook his head.

In fact, he could tell that this Feng Yuling wasn't really an expert at gambling on eggs, but rather a half-baked amateur who was deeply entrenched in a gambler's mentality... because Lin Chen had been paying attention to this pair of siblings and discovered that they had already spent at least ten brilliant holy crystals gambling on eggs.

And every time, they had to pay double the price to Shop Number Eight.

If you bet with the shop and hatch an epic-level or higher pet, you can get it for half price. And if it's a mythical-level pet egg, Shop Number Eight will even give you a brilliant holy crystal as a reward...

They did this to create buzz and attract more people to gamble on eggs at their shop.

If someone hatched a mythical pet egg from this shop, it would prove that the shop was genuine and not a scam!

However, the probability of hatching a mythical pet from over a hundred thousand pet eggs was extremely low.

For example, Lin Chen hadn't discovered many dazzling eggs on his way here. He had touched over a thousand eggs, and the shells that indicated they were dazzling eggs were no more than thirty.

It was no wonder Feng Yuling was losing!

Even that Young Master Xuan hadn't hatched a mythical pet after an entire night. He had only hatched two epic-level pets, so he was still in the red.

If you didn't hatch an epic-level pet, you had to pay the shop one brilliant holy crystal for a legendary pet.

And anything below legendary...

Sorry, you have to pay double!

Lin Chen realized that Shop Number Eight had made quite a bit of money.

"Brother, we only have two brilliant holy crystals left. Are you sure about this? If we lose this time, we'll have to go back to the front lines and fight for at least two months... and we won't even have money for food and lodging." Feng Cailing said with some worry.

"Little sister, you have to believe in me!"

Feng Yuling was sweating on his forehead as he said this...

His gambler's mentality forced him to hold on, wanting to bet on this last hand, but in reality, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Lin Chen didn't stop them.

Sure enough, when the egg was smashed open, a gold shell appeared.

Gold...

With a very small probability, it could be perfect.

But it was impossible to be above epic!

"It's over..."

Feng Yuling sat down on the ground with a thud, muttering to himself, "It's impossible, I... I clearly chose very carefully... Cailing, brother is sorry!"

"Brother, don't be like this. It's okay... At worst, we'll go to the front lines again. I'll accompany you to earn military merits..."

Seeing her brother like this, Feng Cailing didn't complain at all. Instead, she took out two brilliant holy crystals. Although she was very reluctant, she still handed them over to the shop's staff.

"Now it's all over... It's all my fault for being incompetent, alas!"

Feng Yuling deeply blamed himself and even slapped himself.

"Brother, don't be like this... I know you're doing this for me, wanting to give me a better life... It's okay, at worst, I'll accompany you to earn it back!" Feng Cailing quickly comforted Feng Yuling.

At this time, Lin Chen walked over.

"But now we don't even have money for food and lodging!" Feng Yuling said dejectedly.

Feng Cailing said understandingly, "It's okay. Didn't you used to take me to sleep in the wild?"

Sleep in the wild?

Lin Chen knew how dangerous it was to sleep in the wild.

Even with Zhu Niao and Yang Yourong around, he rarely entered a deep sleep state in the wild.

After all, a person sleeping in the wild was too dangerous!

Even if there were no demonic beasts, there were still undead!

Although the undead were afraid of people, they would definitely not be afraid of a sleeping person!

Other races' experts were the same!

"How about I give you money? Would you sell me this pet guide?"

Lin Chen spoke.

Feng Yuling looked up and then saw Lin Chen's appearance.

"Hello, my name is Mu Chen, Mu as in wood, Chen as in time."

Lin Chen smiled at the siblings.

"Hello... but I'm sorry, this guide is my brother's hard work. We won't sell it!" Feng Cailing directly shook her head, even hugging the book.

It was obvious that these siblings had a deep affection for each other.

After following them for a while, Lin Chen also learned something about their background. It seemed that their family had declined, and now only these siblings depended on each other. And the older brother, Feng Yuling, also loved his younger sister very much.

He was gambling on eggs because he wanted to give his sister a mythical pet.

He even wanted to get rich and give his sister a better life.

When he lost, he blamed himself for being incompetent.

What could he say?

Lin Chen actually admired them quite a bit, so he said, "Then how about this? I'll offer a dazzling holy crystal to buy your guide."

"I'm sorry!"

Feng Cailing still shook her head.

"Haha, you don't even have money for lodging, and you're still thinking of relying on gambling to turn things around? Let me tell you siblings, that's impossible... Hehe, you want the guide? I'll sell it to you for a dazzling holy crystal!"

Lian Chengxuan was back again.

Lin Chen turned his head...

So Lian Chengxuan also had this guide.

That was normal.

After all, Lian Chengxuan was also good at gambling on eggs, so how could he not have a guide?

At this time, Feng Cailing spoke up, "Mr. Mu Chen, although I don't want to sell my brother's hard-earned guide, I... I can lend it to you. You don't have to spend a dazzling holy crystal!"

"You! You cheap woman, that's a dazzling holy crystal. You won't sell it and you're giving him the guide for free? Idiot!" Hearing this, Lian Chengxuan became angry and walked away cursing.

He knew that this deal was definitely off.

He had originally thought that he could make some money back tonight by selling this newcomer a guide... After all, he had also lost some.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Feng Cailing, who had a pair of bright eyes despite wearing a mask, and then asked with a smile, "Why don't you want my dazzling holy crystal?"

"My mother said that we are of the Ice Phoenix clan, and no matter what happens, we must be upright and live with integrity!"

Feng Cailing's response made Lin Chen slightly stunned.

Afterwards, he took the booklet from Feng Cailing's hand and quickly looked through it.

During this process, Feng Yuling even took the initiative to come to Lin Chen's side and explain it to him...

"Brother Mu Chen, this is called a Nine-Life Cat, a mythical-level pet! In its juvenile form, its cat paws are white, and there will also be three lines on its cat paws. In its adult form, which is after level ninety, it will have nine lines, representing nine lives... This is called a Cat Familiar, also mythical-level, but it has black claws and is completely black, with two tails."

Listening to Feng Yuling's words, Lin Chen seemed to know what kind of species was in the egg he had touched in the corner earlier.

Nine-Life Cat!

A mythical-level pet!
