The White Ghoul Witch was only a Bronze-rank Other Dimension creature, but this White Ghoul Witch cub had reached a price of 400,000 ocean coins, and the online auction hadn't ended yet, so the price could still increase.
Why was a White Ghoul Witch cub so expensive?
Moreover, even if you spent a lot of money to buy a White Ghoul Witch cub, the chance of you absorbing it and turning it into a Star Pet was extremely small. Absorbing Star Pets and absorbing Star Beads was a set of procedures, and they were both one-time deals.
So now the question was, what were you going to do with a White Ghoul Witch cub if you spent so much money on it?
Just throwing money away?
In fact, Jiang Xiao's idea was completely wrong. A price of 400,000 ocean coins was not high at all. It was already considered a relatively fair price.
Once the White Ghoul Witch cub was successfully absorbed and matured, it could lead the White Ghoul group.
Without a doubt, you could be king in the snowy plains.
This was determined by the racial nature between White Ghoul Witches and White Ghouls.
As a Star Pet, the White Ghoul Witch could not only guarantee your personal safety to a certain extent, but also bring you a constant stream of wealth.
For the country, the value of this White Ghoul Witch was even greater.
With this White Ghoul Witch, the authorities could obviously change the distribution of monsters in the snowy plains through a series of operations, and perhaps even use it to lead a White Ghoul army to maintain order, or act as a special suicide squad?
In short, this operation could bring the chaotic snowy plains under their leadership.
Looking at it this way, selling a White Ghoul Witch cub for 400,000 ocean coins was actually cheap?
Here's the main point, why did White Ghoul Witches, with such powerful racial attributes, only sell for 400,000?
Because all the assumptions above were based on the most perfect Star Pet development path.
In fact, White Ghoul Witches were not suitable as Star Pets.
White Ghoul Witches were not very intelligent, and they were very disobedient. You might be able to put it in a Star Slot, but it was difficult to truly tame it.
The racial characteristics of the White Ghoul Witches made the White Ghouls submit to its power, and at the same time, another racial characteristic of the White Ghoul Witches was their bloodlust and desire for slaughter.
They were naturally violent and prone to devouring their masters.
Most of the Other Dimension creatures that could become Star Pets had the natural characteristic of "loyalty," or at least had a relatively gentle temperament or were slightly more intelligent.
But White Ghoul Witches completely lacked these conditions. Not only did they not have them, but they were even more cruelly tyrannical.
In addition, the success rate of taming Star Pets was shockingly low, so the price of White Ghoul Witch cubs was only barely 400,000.
Buying this kind of cub home meant that absorbing it was one hurdle, and taming it was another.
The buyer who offered this price must be very confident in their own strength. Theoretically speaking, White Ghoul Witches were not suitable as Star Pets. If you wanted to retain its racial nature of suppressing White Ghouls, and also eliminate its brutal and tyrannical racial nature, this kind of operation was almost impossible.
Who knew what the buyer was going to do with the White Ghoul Witch cub? If they really wanted to use it as a Star Pet, I don't know where the buyer's confidence came from.
Jiang Xiao didn't quite understand these things. He only knew that someone had made a fortune, and it was the male Awakened he met in the snowy plains that day.
No wonder he risked his life to hold on to the White Ghoul Witch cub, the benefits were so great.
Jiang Xiao also gained a better understanding of the paths he could choose in the future. When he became strong enough, catching cubs in Other Dimension spaces would also be a good way to make money.
However, since White Ghoul Witch cubs reached such a price, why didn't the authorities send some powerful people to raise White Ghoul Witches in captivity in order to obtain cubs?
Jiang Xiao felt that if he could think of these things with his intelligence, others couldn't possibly not think of them.
Could it be that there was a link in the process that was impossible to complete?
The students were talking about this news with great interest, and Han Jiangxue also noticed this news.
She also sent a WeChat message to Jiang Xiao.
Since Jiang Xiao registered for WeChat, the siblings rarely communicated by text message.
They agreed on a time to meet.
On the night before the competition, Jiang Xiao obediently waited at the senior high school playground.
Jiangbin No. 1 High School was indeed a first-class high school. At least the infrastructure construction in this school was very good.
The senior high school had a separate teaching building, standing in the "deep mountains and old forests." In front of the teaching building was a fountain, below the fountain was the playground, and below the playground were eight basketball courts.
But there was no soccer field. The soccer field was near the junior high school teaching building.
The sky was dim, and at 8:15, Jiang Xiao heard the end-of-class bell coming from the senior high school teaching building.
The melody was very familiar, "Mariage D'amour".
This was not the real dismissal bell, but the end-of-class bell. The senior high school students had just finished two evening classes in a row, and had a 15-minute break in between. They would have to go back to self-study class in a while.
The real dismissal was at 10 o'clock.
And the teaching building would turn off the lights at 11:30, which meant that a considerable number of students would be studying there until 11:30...
They might even have to study until 1 or 2 in the middle of the night when they got home.
Just thinking about it was terrible. They started their first early reading class at 6:45 the next morning.
For those boarding students, skipping breakfast and getting up at 6:20 was considered late.
And for those non-boarding students, they probably got up even earlier.
This group of ruthless people,
Got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the chickens.
Before Jiang Xiao could wait for Han Jiangxue, he saw several boys rushing in with basketballs.
There were only 15 minutes of rest time, and these guys actually ran here from the teaching building?
How many minutes could they play?
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao added another comment to these senior high school kids:
More energetic than dogs after class.
Jiang Xiao watched for a while and found that these kids really liked playing basketball, and their skills were very good, especially that little point guard, who was more agile than a monkey.
"Don't use Star Power! Don't cheat! If you do that again, I'll tear down the hoop!" a tall boy shouted loudly.
"Let him go crazy, he was almost crying after being scolded by the teacher," a gentle voice came over.
Jiang Xiao looked over and saw a tall boy under the white lights. His voice was gentle, he was fair and handsome, with short black hair that seemed to have a bit of a natural curl.
So tall, so handsome, and such a good figure, can you leave some room for us mortals to live?
"He's the center of attention wherever he goes." Han Jiangxue came behind Jiang Xiao at some point.
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked carefully at the boy, and said, "My rival in love has finally appeared?"
Han Jiangxue rubbed Jiang Xiao's crew cut, which seemed to feel good, and said, "That's my teammate, Li Weiyi. I don't have any other relationship with him."
Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved to see you explaining so eagerly. It seems that I still have some status in your heart."
Han Jiangxue was silent for a long time, and said faintly, "Do you want to go back with a limp?"
Jiang Xiao shivered and quickly changed the subject: "Let me get to know your team members in advance?"
"No, I saw the news about the cub trade today." Han Jiangxue turned to look at Jiang Xiao and asked seriously, "Your next answer must be serious."
"Okay," Jiang Xiao nodded.
Han Jiangxue asked softly, "Is your probability of absorbing Star Pets also 100%? Can the Star Pets you absorb increase in quality?"
Jiang Xiao was completely stunned.
He had never thought about this question.
"I've never tried it, I don't know," Jiang Xiao answered truthfully.
"Hmm." Han Jiangxue nodded, seeming a little disappointed, and changed the subject, "Are you confident in tomorrow's competition?"
"The draw is out, we're in Group A, and we're playing Class 7 in the first round," Jiang Xiao said. "There are two fierce guys in Class 4 in the same group, but it's not a big problem."
"The final opponent is Class 1?" Although Han Jiangxue used an interrogative sentence, her tone was affirmative.
"Yes, they're in Group B, we can only meet in the final battle. By the way, have you heard of Gao Junchen?" Jiang Xiao said.
Han Jiangxue: "Hmm?"
Jiang Xiao said, "The younger brother of Gao Junwei, your team member, from Class 1."
Han Jiangxue frowned slightly. Gao Junwei's family had some wealth, so this Gao Junchen's Star Techniques couldn't be lacking.
Although a Star Power Awakened at the Star Aperture stage could only have a maximum of 4 Star Techniques, the quality of the other party's Star Techniques might be very high.
"That's your business." Han Jiangxue gestured towards Li Weiyi, who was playing basketball, and said softly, "We've done our part. His family, Xia Yan's family, and I have all communicated with the principal repeatedly. The three of us are looking forward to your performance."
At this moment, the tall boy who was playing basketball walked over and said friendly, "Jiang Xiaopi, hello."
Jiang Xiao looked at the handsome boy who was 1.87 meters tall and turned to look at Han Jiangxue, "With such a handsome face, are you willing to let him be at the front of the team, facing those fierce monsters?"
"It's my duty to be at the front of the team. It's an honor to escort the mage and healer classes." Li Weiyi suddenly leaned forward and whispered in Jiang Xiao's ear, "Moreover, compared to facing forward, I don't want to look back. Xia Yan is more terrifying than those monsters."
Jiang Xiao took a step back, his expression a little strange. He turned to look at Han Jiangxue and said, "I like him."
Han Jiangxue: "......"
Li Weiyi: "......"
