This Is A Frost Dragon Instead Of A Small Lizard-Chapter 3

100,000 Gold Coins For Budget in Familiar Pavilion

Lin Bai knew that Su Ling’er was just joking.

After all, what he had shown was only a warrior with A-rank talent, and he was also poor.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener paid attention.

With his strength as an SSS-rank beastmaster, it didn’t seem too difficult for him to obtain the resources needed to nurture an alchemist for Su Ling’er.

“Okay, just you wait. I’ll work to support you.”

“Stinky little brother, you should take care of yourself first.”

The two of them chatted for a while, and Su Ling’er quickly left Lin Bai’s dormitory.

After all, there were still a lot of things to do during the novice period after the successful class change.

For example, clearing a newbie dungeon.

But before that, Lin Bai had more important things to do.

To get a scholarship!

He was going to buy a familiar. If he didn’t get the scholarship, he really wouldn’t be able to live.

..

“Hello, Principal Luo.”

Lin Bai sat down in the principal’s office.

A normal scholarship could usually be approved by the form teacher. However, this was a scholarship for graduation and class change, so it was no small matter.

Especially since Lin Bai had an A-rank talent.

“Not bad, Lin Bai. There are eight A-rank talents in our school today, two more than the previous years.”

“It’s still better to be nurtured by the school.”

Lin Bai wasn’t being polite. If the school hadn’t saved him from the beast tide refugees back then, he would have died a tragic death on the streets.

“This is your A-rank talent scholarship. We all know that you’re working hard and you still have a long way to go… After clearing the dungeon, you will also go to a new map… There are also daily missions… The country is also very…”

Lin Bai laughed bitterly. Principal Luo was good at everything, but he was just long-winded.

He was just getting a scholarship, yet he was still so long-winded.

“Keep it well.”

Finally, after listening to Principal Luo’s long-winded speech for a full ten minutes, he received the 100,000 gold coins scholarship.

“Also, the school is aware of your poverty, so Principal Luo applied for a set of green-tier novice equipment for you. You can keep it for yourself, and don’t tell the other students.”

Lin Bai was overjoyed.

“Thank you, Principal Luo!”

The official ranks of equipment were white-tier, green-tier, blue-tier, purple-tier, and orange-tier.

In the market, they could also be called ordinary, superior, rare, epic, and legendary!

The green-tier elite equipment included clothes, pants, boots, gloves, hats, and weapons. Each set cost a few thousand gold coins, which was a huge sum to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai equipped it on the spot!

[Elf-Made Shirt: Green-Tier, Intelligence +3]

[Elf-Made Pants: Green-Tier, Intelligence +2]

[Elf-Made boots: Green-Tier, Strength +2]

[Elf-Made gloves: Green-Tier, Strength +2]

[Elf-Made hat: Green-Tier, Spirit +1]

[Elf-Made short sword: Green-Tier, Strength +2]

[Equipment set bonus: All Attributes +2]

[Current Strength: 46, Intelligence: 32, Spirit: 91]

When his spiritual power reached 200 points, he could activate the second SSS-rank innate skill, ‘Perfect Form’.

He was one step closer to his goal.

Not bad!

Although it was only a green-tier superior-grade equipment, it had a set bonus of +2 to all attributes, so it did not look weak.

After all, it was a set of equipment for Lin Bai.

“The principal knows that you’re talented, but don’t bite off more than you can chew. You must first clear the newbie dungeon, and then…”

Seeing that Principal Luo was about to start lecturing again, Lin Bai quickly fled the principal’s office.

With the scholarship of 100,000 gold coins and the 20,000 gold coins he had saved up before, Lin Bai went to the Familiar Pavilion with 120,000 gold coins.

The Familiar Pavilion was bustling with people!

The graduation and class-change days were held in these few days every year. The Familiar Pavilion had also prepared pets of various attributes and prices for the new beastmasters.

Lin Bai walked into the Familiar Pavilion calmly.

Today, he wanted to experience the feeling of spending money like it was dirt!

“Hello, Sir. Are you here to purchase a familiar?”

“Yes, I am.”

“In order to provide you with the best service experience, may I know what your target familiar’s talent level is? Or rather, what’s your estimated budget?”

This time, Lin Bai’s goal was to find a familiar that seemed to have an ordinary bloodline, but had hidden ancient bloodlines.

That way, he could use the SSS-rank talent skill ‘Ancient Bloodline’ to activate the S-rank talent of his familiar.

Hence, when purchasing, he only needed to purchase those with ordinary talent.

“My budget is about 100,000 gold coins.”

When Lin Bai said this, the lady’s eyes seemed to dim a little.

She was a little uninterested.

“Sir, a beastmaster’s first familiar is very important to a beastmaster. Do you want to consider borrowing money from your family, or taking out a loan to buy a familiar that you’re more interested in?”

Lin Bai was stunned. He understood.

100,000 gold coins were too little for her to be interested!

“No need, just 100,000 gold coins.”

The young lady sighed in her heart.

“Alright, Sir. This way, please.”

The young lady led Lin Bai into the courtyard, where there were hundreds of cages scattered around, each with a different color and a marked price.

“Sir, these are about 100,000 gold coins. We only have C-rank familiars at the moment. You can take a look.”

“C-rank? Don’t you usually get a B-rank familiar for 100,000 gold coins?”

“Sir, that’s the usual price. These two days are graduation and class change days, so there will be a slight increase in the price.”

A slight increase?

The daily market price of a C-rank familiar was usually 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins. Now, it was being sold for 100,000 gold coins!

You call this a little?

Only then did Lin Bai realize that even with 100,000 gold coins, he was still poor!

He just got a valuable novice reward. How could it be compared to those big shots?

Fortunately, he had a cheat.

“C-rank it is.”

In any case, he could see the hidden ancient bloodline of the familiars. To him, there was not much difference between C and B ranks.

Lin Bai walked to the first cage and activated the ‘Ancient Bloodline’ skill. This innate skill came with a detection function, which could be detected first and then activated.

[Scaled Beast, Current Level: 3. Familiar talent: C-rank]

[Firebird, Current Level: 2. Familiar talent: C-rank]

[Earth-Digging Mouse, Current Level: 1. Familiar talent: C-rank Ancient bloodline: Gold-Eating Mouse, highest talent level: A]

[Golden Retriever, Current Level: 2. Familiar talent: C-rank]

..

Lin Bai looked around. Other than the Earth-Digging Mouse that could evolve into a Gold-Eater Mouse, there was not a single C-rank familiar with an ancient bloodline.

As for this Earth-Digger Mouse, it seemed to be not bad. Its hidden talent could reach A-rank.

“What’s the price of this earth-digging mouse?”

“Good day, Sir. This Earth-Digging Mouse has a treasure-hunting characteristic and can avoid the dangers of the new map. It’s an excellent agility-type familiar. It’s only 140,000 gold coins right now.”

Lin Bai’s face darkened.

‘I can’t afford it!’

‘I can’t even afford a gopher!’

The young lady seemed to have noticed Lin Bai’s embarrassment. She looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, she quietly said, “Sir, if you have a budget, you can actually go to the Player Trading Hall to take a look.”

“Although they sell irregular familiars there, they’re at least C-rank familiars. They’re not that bad.”

Player Trading Hall?

That was right! It wasn’t impossible!

Moreover, it might be easier to find familiars with strange bloodlines in places like that where the good and the bad mix together.

Compared to artificial breeding like the Familiar Pavilion, the legal institution of pure-blood breeding might be luckier in the trading hall!

“Thank you! I’ve really troubled you today!”

Since he couldn’t find a hidden ancient bloodline in the Familiar Pavilion, Lin Bai didn’t waste any time and left the pet Pavilion.

He was filled with gratitude toward this young lady. Not only did she bring him around, but she also introduced him to other places to buy it.

She was really kind-hearted!

Little did he know that the young lady ran back to the front desk after Lin Bai left.

Flustered and exasperated, she said, “If I don’t send him away, I don’t know how many big clients I’ll lose!”
