The Master of Beasts

Chapter 846 279

The small matter of Er Chong exchanging star coins didn't concern Di Chun at all; she was curiously wandering around the hall.

"Hey, little brother, what's upstairs?"

Di Chun suddenly approached a warrior on duty and asked.

Di Chun's skin was a bit dark, but the lines on her face were very distinct, exuding a heroic aura, and her figure outshone many.

Such a woman, akin to a leopard, was every warrior's favorite in the Heavenly Gift Realm.

"Miss, I'm not entirely sure either. Upstairs is where the council of the clan leaders convenes. Only those with the strength of a Warrior King level, or heads of gatherings or tribes, can reserve a visit there."

"Reserve?"

"It means scheduling a time in advance!"

"That sounds impressive!" Di Chun thought this was quite grand, and her Four Seasons Tribe could adopt this practice.

"Thank you, little brother."

"Sir....."

"See you next time!"

"How did it go?" Di Chun asked Er Chong casually.

"The Star Moon Tribe is quite unfair. I used over a dozen Elemental Crystals and only got one million three hundred seventy thousand star coins in exchange!"

"And I also heard that the most expensive places in the Star Moon Tribe can cost over a million in a day!" Er Chong said, somewhat distressed.

For a Warrior King like Er Chong, more than a dozen Elemental Crystals were no small number. Normally, the monthly salary for a cultivator of Warrior King level in the Four Seasons Tribe would only be three Elemental Crystals.

Of course, the salary merely provided for the most basic training. To get more resources, one had to complete missions or go hunting during shifts.

"After we go back, just go to the treasury yourself to claim your items; for now, let's go explore!" Di Chun said indifferently.

"Yes, ma'am!"

The streets of the Star Moon Tribe are actually quite simple, built in a four-street-eight-lane pattern, except the shops on either side are larger and the roads wider.

"What's that?"

Di Chun looked at a shop not far away, almost packed with people, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

This shop seemed no different from the others, even smaller in scale.

"Let's go, take a look!"

Upon entering the shop's hall, a rich aroma of meat hit them in the face, mingled with a pungent spicy note; it was a barbecue shop!

"Dear guests, you seem unfamiliar; is this your first time here? What would you like to order?"

Over time, Dabai seemed to have grown a lot, though in human terms, he looked about ten years old.

"A child? No, that's not right."

Although Dabai looked young, the qi-blood intensity he exuded was indeed at the level of a Golden Saber Warrior. Even the most promising children born in recent years in the Four Seasons Tribe couldn't match Dabai's talent and potential.

"Guests?" Dabai's previously smiling face showed a hint of impatience. What's with these two? It's just a barbecue. Why the hesitation? Are they planning on a free meal?

The Star Moon Tribe is quite lenient with the locals; if caught dining and dashing, they'd be seized by the law enforcement and put to labor, but they'd still get meals!

With an entire small world for logistics, Chen Jiuge didn't care about this bit of food, but for those homeless in gathering spots, it was like heaven in a dream!

In the beginning, this led to people being caught for free dining almost every day in the Star Moon Tribe.

Luckily, the city's merchants were considered in Chen Jiuge's policy, providing them with adequate compensation.

But Dabai wasn't afforded this privilege. As Chen Jiuge's Guardian Beast, surely he wouldn't need Chen Jiuge to handle such small matters?

"We'll have one of everything!" Di Chun said indifferently.

"Everything?" Dabai asked skeptically.

"What kind of look is that? Do you think my master can't afford this meal?" Er Chong threw out a pouch of star coins boldly. Each of these pouches contained ten thousand coins.

"Ten thousand star coins?" Dabai shook his head slightly. "That's really not enough!"

"Not enough?"

Er Chong was a bit bewildered. "Not enough? You must be joking. Ten thousand star coins can exchange for ten thousand catties of beast meat, isn't that enough?"

"This must be your first visit!"

Though it was a question, Dabai's tone was confident: "Fine, let me explain. For ten thousand star coins, ten thousand catties of meat mean warrior-level meat. Meat one level higher costs at least ten times more!"

"And in our Dabai Barbecue Shop, the beast meat used is at least Silver Blade level."

"The signature dishes are at least Golden Saber level, with some even at Warrior King level. Look at how bustling our store is; we wouldn't hire people to act just for you!"

"This price..." Er Chong still wanted to haggle, feeling truly pained.

"Enough, just pay up, Er Chong!" Di Chun slightly frowned; how could she not know that this long-time guard of hers was so stingy?

"Seventy-eight thousand star coins!" Dabai said with a cheerful smile.

Er Chong gritted his teeth and threw the pouch: "Hope you're not lying!"

Dabai collected the pouch, smiling: "Rest assured, we're pros at barbecue!"

Because of Di Chun and Er Chong's high spending, Dabai thoughtfully provided them a tasteful room.

"Spicy crispy bones, selected from Golden Saber level Fierce Beasts, please have a taste, dear customers!"

"What about that kid before?"

Di Chun frowned at the sight of this peculiar-looking little fellow before her.

So ugly; if conditions allowed, Di Chun would've preferred to see the pleasing Dabai rather than this odd looking, snub-nosed small creature.
