After dinner—
Ning Xi insisted she had to lose the half kilo she gained from last night's hot pot, so she went to do yoga.
Even though she only weighed a little over 45 kilos, light enough to be blown away by a gust of wind, but well, girls love beauty. Totally normal.
Especially after moving in with Lin Mo, Ning Xi seemed to care even more about managing her figure.
Just in time, Lin Mo took the chance to log in alone and handle his own business.
He had been thinking about this matter for a long time.
For it, Lin Mo had basically lost his appetite these past two days.
And that was… Heavenly Bewitchment · Fox Empress.
Since reaching level 30 yesterday, Lin Mo had already unlocked the pet system and could directly evolve a pet into the top-tier Ancestral rank by incinerating low-tier pets to gain evolution points.
Unfortunately, he didn't have extra pets to use as fuel.
Because any player who reached level 30 could only get one Pet Exchange Voucher, with just one free chance to claim a Normal-grade pet.
As for the "pet capture" function, it wouldn't unlock until players reached level 40.
Therefore, before level 40, the only way for Lin Mo to get more pets was by purchasing Pet Exchange Vouchers from other players and exchanging pets to incinerate.
Of course, this was also to raise his affection level with the Pet Envoy through repeated pet exchanges, so he could obtain the server's only divine pet, [White Fox].
Unfortunately, the leveling speed of players in Blazing Ember City was just too slow.
Lin Mo had already been level 30 for a day, and now he was level 36. Only now had the first-tier players of Blazing Ember City finally reached level 30.
"According to system statistics, although players above level 30 only account for 0.1% in Blazing Ember City, based on a base of three million players, that's still quite a lot."
"It's time to start collecting pets."
So Lin Mo hid his ID and spent 10 silver coins to post a ten-minute pinned message in Blazing Ember City's chat channel—
[Anonymous: "Buying one Pet Exchange Voucher for 3,000 RMB. Only buying one. First come, first served!"]
As soon as the message went out, many players in Blazing Ember City noticed it.
Among them was a level 30 couple who had just completed their job advancements and were holding the Pet Exchange Vouchers they received for free from their class mentors, planning to redeem pets from Pet Envoy Andrew.
The girl, an Arcane Mage, said excitedly to the Holy Knight boy, "Wow! Babe, look at the chat channel. There's an idiot buying Pet Exchange Vouchers for 3,000."
The boy grinned, "The system only gives a Normal-grade pet. It's not even worth spending resources to raise. Once we hit level 40 and unlock pet capture, we can just go catch an Elite or Rare-grade pet ourselves."
"No harm in selling him the voucher."
"But he's only buying one? Quick, babe, let's both mail ours over. If he takes both, I'll buy you Valentino."
"Wow really? Thank you, hubby!"
The two of them simultaneously mailed their Pet Exchange Vouchers to Lin Mo at a price of 3,000 RMB each.
Unexpectedly, in less than a second, both of their mails were claimed at the same time.
The two stared in surprise.
"Huh? Didn't he say he was only buying one?"
"Probably clicked too fast."
"This guy's so dumb! Spending that much money on pets we can get for free?"
"Who cares! We just made 6,000 for free! Babe, I'll buy you Valentino!"
"Hehe! Okay!"
———
On Lin Mo's side—
Although he publicly said he was only buying one, in reality he accepted every single one that came.
Through mail, he received dozens of Pet Exchange Vouchers at once.
Because if he openly said unlimited purchase, it might make others suspicious.
After so many days since the server launched, everyone already knew this game was full of hidden opportunities everywhere.
If someone clever copied him, bought a large number of Pet Exchange Vouchers, and triggered the hidden opportunity from the Pet Envoy before Lin Mo to obtain the divine pet White Fox, that would be a huge loss.
3,000 RMB for a free Pet Exchange Voucher.
The sellers all thought Lin Mo was stupid, but whether it was stupid or not, did Lin Mo not know?
"The pet capture function unlocks at level 40. A Capture Scroll in the shop costs 1 silver coin, and the success rate is only 1%."
"Calculating with guaranteed pity, it takes about 1 gold coin, which at the current exchange rate is over 8,100 RMB, just to get one pet."
So Lin Mo buying pets at 3,000 each wasn't stupid at all. It was a massive profit.
Very soon, he had already received over a hundred Pet Exchange Vouchers.
Even though he had spent over 300,000 RMB, for Lin Mo, who already had assets over a hundred million, and who could obtain the server's only divine pet White Fox through these vouchers, it was nothing worth mentioning.
While continuously claiming the incoming mails, Lin Mo headed to the Pet Hall of Blazing Ember City.
He found Pet Envoy Andrew.
Taking advantage of no one being around, he began redeeming pets in large quantities using the vouchers.
[Ding~ Congratulations, you redeemed Normal-grade pet · Piggy Pig! Pet Envoy Andrew's affection toward you +1. Divine Artifact Nirvana luck value +0.01%]
[Ding~ Congratulations, you redeemed Normal-grade pet · Big Yellow Bee! Pet Envoy Andrew's affection toward you +1. Divine Artifact Nirvana luck value +0.01%]
[Ding~...]
[Ding~ You used SSS-rank talent Soul Fire to incinerate Normal-grade pet · Piggy Pig. Pet evolution points +1. Divine Artifact Nirvana luck value +0.01%]
[Ding~ You used SSS-rank talent Soul Fire to incinerate Normal-grade pet · Big Yellow Bee. Pet evolution points +1. Divine Artifact Nirvana luck value +0.01%]
"Getting pets and getting pet evolution points both count as obtaining rewards, so they both add luck value to the divine artifact Nirvana?", Lin Mo felt pleasantly surprised.
Soon, all over one hundred Pet Exchange Vouchers were redeemed and incinerated. Lin Mo obtained 128 pet evolution points.
At the same time.
[Ding~ Since Pet Envoy Andrew's affection toward you has reached 10 points, your affection level with Andrew has increased to Level 1.]
[Ding~ Since Pet Envoy Andrew's affection toward you has reached 100 points, your affection level with Andrew has increased to Level 2.]
To obtain the divine pet White Fox, a player must raise their affection level with the Pet Envoy to Level 5.
Level 5 affection required a total of 1,000 affection points.
Right now, Andrew's total affection toward Lin Mo was only 129 points.
"Still far from enough."
"I still need at least 871 more Pet Exchange Vouchers, redeem and burn them all, to reach Level 5 affection."
Lin Mo continued collecting Pet Exchange Vouchers.
However, the first wave of hype had already passed. Even though the pinned message was still there, hardly anyone was sending him mails anymore.
After all, there were very few players above level 30 in Blazing Ember City at the moment.
But, even though getting the divine pet White Fox would take more time, it didn't stop Lin Mo from using his current pet evolution points to evolve an Ancestral-tier pet first as a temporary option.
So among the six basic pets: Tank-type Piggy Pig, Support-type Blue Sprite, Shooter-type Big Yellow Bee, Mage-type Blood-Drinking Bat, Assassin-type Fire Hedgehog, and Warrior-type Skeleton Soldier.
He chose one.
"I choose you!"
"Come out! Piggy Pig!"
