Chapter 253 - 180 Fiery Hellhound!1
In a secluded and noisy small tavern on the north street of The Capital, a burly man was sipping his liquor.
The liquor in the tavern was cheap, but this strong man made it taste expensive.
“There’s a new karaoke bar across the street. All the girls there are knockouts! What do you say we go there tonight?”
“Go to hell! I was just there yesterday! What’s the use of those pretty faces if they can’t sing well or stop munching on fruit trays! The two fruit trays that I ordered were almost entirely consumed by them!”
“Bro, they ate your fruit because you didn’t order drinks. If you had, they would’ve been busy drinking instead!”
“Damn it! I asked them how much they could drink and they all held up one finger. I took that as one bottle each, but they meant they could just keep drinking!”
The small tavern was rather noisy in the afternoon. Some were those who’d finished their day’s work and had come here to hang out with friends.
They were deciding what entertainment to enjoy later in the evening while drinking.
Thinking about his own situation, Yin Nanzhen couldn’t help but feel a little bitter.
Damn it! Whoever encourages people to contract a Dark-element Beast has to be cursed for three generations!
The one who persuades to contract two Dark-element Beasts, may their ancestors’ tombs belch black smoke!
The one who talks you into contracting three Dark-element Beasts, they must be a real “Sweetheart”!
Unfortunately, the “Sweetheart” is yours truly.
Dark-element Beasts are strong indeed, but the daily consumption of Light System Potion has emptied Yin Nanzhen’s wallet.
It made Yin Nanzhen undertake adventure group missions four times a month, and even then, it was hard to make ends meet.
Actually, Yin Nanzhen’s willingness to contract three Dark-element Beasts wasn’t just because he’d heard that Dark-element Beasts weren’t constrained.
Yin Nanzhen was born in a family that specialized in nurturing Dark-element Beasts.
Back then, Yin Nanzhen could contract high-quality Dark-element Beasts and had sufficient resources to train them.
But later on, due to management issues, his family fell into decline.
They ended up owing a large sum of money, and all their assets were swallowed up.
Yin Nanzhen went from being the young master of a power to being an adventurer who had to pay off debts.
He hadn’t paid off much of his debts, and he could hardly afford his daily expenses now!
So, ever since three months ago, Yin Nanzhen had been seeking power to rely on.
The combat capability of his three Dark-element Beasts is excellent, so many powers have extended an olive branch to him.
But these powers only let Yin Nanzhen work, they didn’t provide for him.
The little money he earned in these powers was hardly enough to cover his daily expenses.
Furthermore, when he tried to leave those powers due to the binding contracts, he had to pay a penalty.
If it weren’t for the strict laws of the Dragon Rising Federation, Nanzhen really wanted to summon his Guardian Beasts to teach those who signed contracts with him a lesson!
So, now Yin Nanzhen has become shrewd. Before joining a power, he learned to do background checks.
The best way to understand a commerce association is to take a field trip and observe the size of its headquarters.
If the commerce association was too small or the headquarters was poorly decorated.
Then it’s certain that the association can’t afford to support him, and going there to negotiate would be a waste of time!
Seeing that it was half an hour to the agreed time of six o’clock, Yin Nanzhen drained his cup and let out a gratified sigh.
Then, worry set in.
In two days, he had to pay Old Lu a down payment for the Light System Potion, and he had no idea where he would get that money.
He had already borrowed money from Old Lu once before.
If he defaults again this time, Old Lu likely wouldn’t give him another chance for a transaction!
Thinking about this, Nanzhen’s face grew long.
Initially, Yin Nanzhen wasn’t too concerned about going to the Jianmu Commerce Association.
He was casting a wide net, and the Jianmu Commerce Association was just one of them.
It was only after he confirmed the address with Fang Yuan over the phone and learned that the Jianmu Commerce Association was located in the heart of The Capital’s commercial district.
Only then did Yin Nanzhen start taking Jianmu Commerce Association seriously.
Otherwise, with his current mental and emotional state, Yin Nanzhen would probably be half an hour late.
If it weren’t for the contract with Dark-element Beasts, if he didn’t use Light System Potion to moisten his eyes daily, he’d go blind!
Yinnanzhen would have thrown caution to the wind!
What does owing money matter! They can’t just kill me if I don’t pay back, can they!?
Yin Nanzhen ruffled his messy hair, then set off, draped in his black, wine and sweat-stained adventurer outfit.
At first glance, anyone would view Yin Nanzhen as just a downtrodden wandering adventurer.
It’s hard to believe that he’s actually a Beast Master who owns three Diamond Rank Dark-element Beasts.
The light drink made him tipsy, and as dusk approached, it was the time when the disheartened people started to feel sleepy.
Yin Nanzhen yawned.
He had been to this central business district before.
As the young master of a small to medium power, he had shopped in this business district’s associations for Spiritual Material.
When Yin Nanzhen arrived at the entrance to the Jianmu Commerce Association and saw the teal-gold door, his drunkenness was shaken off.
Green Toad Gold is a unique Diamond Rank Metal Spiritual Material. It is very hard but also very fragile.
Carving would cause the Green Toad Gold to shatter like glass.
Although the Green Toad Gold can’t be carved, its metal texture resembles a money-holding toad totem.
So, Green Toad Gold was once known to attract wealth.
Many households liked to have Green Toad Gold made into decorations at home or grind it into the shape of a coin to carry with them.
