Chapter 420

Dak raised his head and said, "Are there any new cat grasses in stock? I mean, new types."

Miss Cat smiled and said, "Of course, I kept it for you. Come in and take a look."

Dak was delighted and followed Miss Cat into her secret room.

The most conspicuous thing in Miss Cat's secret room was still the huge snapdragon.

The snapdragon with its eyelids drooping seemed to never wake up, and it swayed gently under the support of its rhizomes.

As for the other cat grasses used for testing, there were already a lot fewer.

I don't know if they were sold or returned to the factory for repair.

"Come."

Miss Cat waved to him and walked to the depths of the secret room with great interest.

As the darkness in the depths of the room was dispelled by the light, a timid cat grass huddled in the corner came into Dak's sight.

He was originally looking for "lion grass", but he was attracted by the cat grass in an instant!

It was a curled-up dragon!

Its body was slightly thicker, shorter and rounder than a snake, and it was less than one meter long.

Its lower limbs were relatively sturdy, and its upper limbs were relatively thin and short.

It was basically between the Eastern dragon and the Western dragon.

There were only two round protrusions on the top of its head, and although they were dragon horns, they had not grown yet.

The scales of this young dragon were still very soft, very delicate and round.

The color of the scales was a hint of blue, and it was a hydrophilic blue dragon species.

Miss Cat held the tail pot of the "Dragon Grass" with one hand, hugged it tightly into her arms, and then turned around and walked back.

Dak looked at the blue young dragon that subconsciously put its head into the gap, and his heart suddenly slowed down.

He couldn't help asking, "Miss Cat, this dragon grass..."

Miss Cat showed a hint of pride on her face: "Yes, this dragon grass has complete biological characteristics of a dragon. It is a rare item, even in our laboratory, there is only one."

Dak was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Since there is only one, why sell it?"

Miss Cat smiled mysteriously: "Because it is a failure. A failure of other experiments."

Dak: "A failure of other experiments?"

Miss Cat nodded: "Yes. We originally wanted to develop loach grass, but because of an accident, a unique material was added, which caused the experimental object to mutate."

Dak: "Wait, which loach is loach grass?"

Miss Cat smiled sweetly: "Loach."

Dak was immediately shocked: "Loach..."

Miss Cat nodded: "So this dragon grass inherited some habits of loach, it is smart and timid, not very bright, and likes to drill into dark and narrow gaps."

"I see."

Dak understood a little.

He did not ask Miss Cat why she sold him this unique dragon grass.

After all, questions like this with obvious answers require a hidden understanding.

But Miss Cat then said without any tacit understanding: "Of course, because it is very, very precious, the credits required are slightly more."

Dak asked curiously: "How much?"

Miss Cat curled her lips and said: "998,988, you can't lose, you can't be fooled, just 998!"

Dak just nodded slightly: "998? A pot of ordinary cat grass only needs 50 credits, 998 is 20 times, it's acceptable. Then I want this pot of dragon grass. What should I pay attention to if I keep it indoors?"

Miss Cat touched the back of the dragon grass and said: "Like cow grass, it needs to be fed with special magic potions continuously. We can provide magic potion formulas here. You can buy the materials and refine them yourself, or you can come to the store to make reservations.

In addition, you only need a light-proof water tank. It's better to be small, just enough for it to curl up and get in."

Dak: "..."

It's really worthy of being a cat.

...

998 credits are really nothing to Dak now.

However, he knew that this price was only half-price compared to the precious Dragon Grass.

There are many shops in Traveler Street that like to invest in students.

This "Cat Flower Shop" and the Morgan Shop that sold him the "Magic Brain Dropper" have successfully left a good impression on Dak.

After buying the Dragon Grass, Dak not only bought three bottles of magic potion, but also received a cardboard box that could just hold a Dragon Grass.

Then he did not leave, but continued to ask about the research and development progress of Lion Grass and Rabbit Grass.

"Lion Grass and Rabbit Grass?"

Miss Cat nodded her lips and thought for a while, then said: "Sorry, it hasn't been improved yet. The biological characteristics of Lion Grass are not stable yet, and Rabbit Grass..."

Dake: "What happened to Rabbit Grass?"

Miss Cat said with some sadness: "It didn't survive this winter."

Dake: "..."

He thought for a while, then asked again: "Then, what about the Lion Grass that was placed in the store before? Even if it is a defective product, I can accept it."

Miss Cat sighed and said: "Sent it to the factory for repair. We are a formal store, and in principle we cannot sell dangerous products that have failed to be improved to students.

If you really want it, you need to show a letter of authorization from at least one professor. I can see if I can bring it back for you next week."

Dake held the carton containing the dragon grass, thought for a moment, and said: "What went wrong with the improvement of the lion grass and rabbit grass? If necessary, I can provide some help."

Miss Cat shook her head slightly: "Trade secrets."

"Really?" Dak said helplessly, "Then there is no way. I will come again next week."

Miss Cat smiled and said: "I will try my best."

...

Dake left the Cat Flower Shop.

Although the Cat Flower Shop looks ordinary, the improvement technology of the cat grass involves biological transformation, which is definitely not a technology that can be developed casually.

He can use the cat grass, which is clearly a plant, to cultivate the fruit of the "bird and beast species", which is enough to show the horror of this technology.

If the biological characteristics of the lion grass are not complete, there may be problems in the cultivation of the "fruit of sin".

"Still can't be impatient."

Dake tiptoed the carton in his hand and couldn't help but smile again.

What is an unexpected happiness?

This is an unexpected happiness!

"Next, should we go back to the dormitory directly, or find a way to quickly replenish magic power?"

"The recovery rate of the magic potion is too slow and not enough."

"I heard that there is a kind of magic wine that can quickly restore magic power. Maybe I can ask Uncle Simmons about it."

Dak walked and pondered, and unknowingly walked to the door of the goblin antique bookstore.

It was also a coincidence that this goblin antique bookstore seemed to be auctioning?

Dak had heard that there would be auctions in this store occasionally, but he didn't pay much attention before he came last time, and he didn't encounter it when he came last time.

"Since I have come across it, let's take a look."

With the mentality of shopping in a supermarket, Dak stopped.

This goblin antique bookstore is as shabby as ever. It has made a lot of money, but it just doesn't repair it.

Dak himself finds it difficult to understand this "personality", but there are always people who like this stale atmosphere.

Perhaps those who like reading are all old-fashioned.

He didn't squeeze into the crowd.

Most of the auctions at the Goblin Antique Bookstore are held on short notice, and there is no special notice or publicity. What matters is "fate".

Therefore, there are not many customers participating in the auction this morning, about ten or so.

Judging from their school uniforms, they should all be senior students.

Most of them are from the School of Magic.

The second is from the School of Fools.

There is one from the School of Knights.

There is none from the School of Nobles.

The old goblin with wrinkles on his skin that can kill a fly is still wearing a tattered cotton jacket. The expression on his face is like that of a street merchant, not the owner of an antique bookstore.

He holds a book as thick as a finger in his hand and shouts loudly to the students.

Obviously, that book is being auctioned today.

Dak squinted his eyes, trying to see the title of the book, but the old goblin always shakes the book up and down, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

After a long while, he could only vaguely recognize a few words: "Synthetic... beast?"

"200 credits! 200 credits! Only 200 credits! No one is bidding any more? This is..."

The old goblin's shouting voice came into his ears.

Dak subconsciously raised his hand: "300 credits."

"300?" A gleam of light flashed in the old goblin's eyes, and he immediately shouted, "300, 300, someone has bid 300! It seems that this classmate has a keen eye for pearls and must have seen the value of the book in the old man's hand! If you want it, bid quickly, otherwise it will be gone!"

Perhaps because Dak's participation was too abrupt, many students turned to look at him.

The nearest student from the Fool Academy said casually: "This junior, it's just a book on refining synthetic beasts. Although it has some collection value, the content may not be useful. There is no need to waste too many credits."

He was obviously kind-hearted.

The others who looked over also nodded in good faith.

Dak thought about it and smiled, "Thank you for reminding me, senior. I just happened to be interested."

The senior nodded and said, "Just understand it yourself. There are very limited ways to get credits in the first year. Even if you have more credits than others, you can't use them indiscriminately."

Then the senior said no more and turned around to continue participating in the auction.

Perhaps seeing that Dak did not accidentally bid the wrong one, the senior students did not bid again.

Dak successfully won the bid with 300 credits.

He took out the sorting card and transferred 300 credits to the goblin boss, and then received the book from him.

The cover of the book seemed to be made of some very hard material, with a metallic texture, but not heavy, and a hint of coolness between the touches.

"I really got it."

Dak took the book and took a look, then left quickly.

It's just 300 credits.

Although it was indeed just a momentary impulse when he bid, since he got it, he would not care too much.

Book title: "Parkin Chimera's Guide to Synthetic Beasts"

...

Walking through a secluded path, we arrived at the tavern that was not open very often.

Dak knocked on the door and pushed it open with a cardboard box in his arms.

The owner of the tavern, the male elf Simmons, was indeed dozing on the counter.

The half-bottle of fairy wine standing next to him made Dak angry.

"Are you really keeping it for yourself?"
