Perfect Transaction

Half an hour passed.

The proprietress, Lisa, came out from the back room, covered in sweat, and looked like she had lost a lot of weight.

It seemed like she hadn't done such strenuous work in a long time.

"Phew... finally done!"

The structure of these Otherworldly Creature is truly remarkable; hopefully, they can produce Quality Offspring.

Now let your crow focus on breeding inside. It's currently in mating season and seems to have been holding back for quite a while, which is why it's being so cooperative.

You brought this pet into this world, neither spaying/neutering it nor finding it a mate for someone else—are you trying to suffocate them?

"I didn't think that much about it."

"Raising a pet requires patience and responsibility. Just knowing how to use it won't do."

Luo Di didn't continue on that topic, but instead got to the point. "If conception occurs in the Mother Fetus, how long does it typically take?"

"Are you in a hurry to get the money?"

Your crow is viviparous; using growth hormones would affect the quality of its offspring. Besides, it's not Corner Creature; reproducing is inherently difficult for it.

It can take anywhere from two weeks to three months.

"So long?"

"It's okay, I can check the Fetal Body Quality to judge the quality of the offspring. If you need money, I can give you an advance."

Of course, the condition is that your crow needs to stay with me.

"Come and collect it after your offspring are born."

Luo Di didn't respond directly, but instead stroked his chin. "Leave... stored, or rather, rented to you? In that case, there would be a Lease Fee, wouldn't there?"

"Are you that short of money, human? And how did you, a human, get here...? The Black Coffin Supermarket is basically catering to monsters."

"Someone brought it."

"Oh..." The shopkeeper noticed the Arm Carving on Luo Di's chest and could sense a Fatal Danger hidden within it. She could also guess that Luo Di's background was extraordinary. If that was the case, she had to do business honestly.

"We'll determine the amount based on the quality of the fetus later, and we'll try to give you as much advance as possible."

"OK."

Just then, the proprietress suddenly stepped forward, her fluffy tail gently touching Luo Di's calf. "Handsome, have you considered breeding? I've never tried with humans, but judging from your appearance, you probably have a hard time dealing with the females in the corner, right?"

"No need, my girlfriend is right here."

"No wonder you have a fragrance... no, two fragrances. I didn't realize you were so popular as a human. Well then, I won't force you."

"Um."

Luo Di didn't feel embarrassed at all and continued to stand inside the store waiting.

However, before the mating was over, a commotion broke out in the back room, accompanied by various sounds of flesh being torn apart and strange screams.

The proprietress Lisa, paled and rushed over.

Luo Di followed behind, heading towards the back area, so he could control the situation immediately if anything went wrong.

A strong smell of blood wafted from deep within.

The mother in the cage was unharmed and appeared to have completed mating. Early Egg Body had formed inside her body, and there were even slight signs of swelling. The gestation process was faster than expected.

But the sturdy cage was bitten through, and the crow disappeared without a trace.

Following the scent, we entered a deeper room, a room specifically for storing various spare pets and biological materials.

Blood was everywhere.

Feathers flying everywhere

The crow was in one of the cages, tearing apart a Hybrid of Dog and Kangaroo. Despite being ten times smaller, it had completely killed the creature and was already half-eaten.

In addition, several small animals in cages had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood.

As the master, Luo Di could sense that the Hellish Ferocity within the crow colt had been activated, seemingly related to the breeding incident.

As the crowfolk feeds on Corner Pet, it is increasingly acquiring Corner Attribute, and a strange change is taking place.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Luo Di was already prepared to pay compensation.

"Boss, I'm sorry..."

Before he could finish his apology, the proprietress raised her hand to stop him.

"This isn't your problem, it's my problem... I actually misjudged this crow's strength and nature, it has nothing to do with you."

Moreover, it is performing exceptionally well, far exceeding my expectations.

Wait for it to eat; it's adapting to the corner through eating, and might just transform into a true World Hybrid!

It's well worth witnessing the birth of something like this.

Mr. Di, do you believe me?

"What?"

"My knowledge and experience in pet care, if not number one in the supermarket, is at least in the top five. Leave this crow with me for now, and I'll take charge of its transformation."

As the owner, you should have been able to sense that it had already shown signs of change.

I'll give you an advance of money; you can use it.

Then go shopping with your girlfriend, and come back to check on things tomorrow. Don't worry, no matter what form the crow takes, it will be returned to you.

All I need are its offspring and some of its body parts.

"...OK."

Luo Di had no reason to refuse.

This was a perfectly reasonable transaction, and the supermarket itself was affected by the Transaction Calamity, so the other party wouldn't do anything underhanded.

The foal's current condition is indeed more suitable for being handled by professionals.

Lisa's face split open again, revealing numerous Cat Heads embedded in the flesh, which seemed to be her true form.

As the flesh further split open, more and more Cat Heads appeared.

A head structure resembling Maneki-neko appeared on the abdomen and spoke, "Do you have a wallet or container? 5000 Corner Coin should be enough for you, right?"

"Enough..."

Luo Di's left arm immediately began Tool Construction. When the entire Hellish Heat appeared, Lisa trembled in fright, and the Cat Heads inside her bristled.

Unlike before,

Incarnated Demon, Luo Di became more adept at using Hellish Ability and more free in Metal Construction.

He didn't construct any huge container on the outside, but instead made special modifications to the inside of his left arm.

Whether it's Yu Lu, the class monitor, or the boss in front of them, they all store Corner Coin in their bodies for easy access and to prevent them from being lost during battle.

Construction complete.

A circular opening appeared in Luo Di's left palm, and a Columnar Space appeared inside his arm.

Corner Coin with a face value of [50] was spat out of the cat's mouth. A total of one hundred coins almost filled the inside of the arm, which increased the weight of the entire arm.

"Thank you, boss."

"Go and make some purchases. There are plenty of good things in the Black Coffin Supermarket. Don't bother me here. The crucial moment is about to begin."

Five thousand is not a small sum for Lisa, the Pet Shop owner, but the crow devouring the Corner Pet is the real treasure to her.

As Luo Di stepped out of the Pet Shop, a barely suppressed smile appeared on his face.

The deal turned out much better than he had anticipated, and perhaps the crow colt itself would undergo an unimaginable transformation, providing greater assistance in future explorations of hidden corners.

Of course, the most important thing is money.

That five thousand dollars might allow Luo Di to buy something truly good enough to kill the Joker.

Just as Luo Di was caught up in a brief moment of pleasure and shopping fantasies,

Something is creeping closer.

Although he lacked the visual perception of a crow, Luo Di's spine reacted immediately.

The Red Balloon is right behind me.

Although supermarkets have various rules and restrictions, they are not as strict as Mr. Question Mark's.

Simple physical contact and silent influences are not included in the scope of supermarket management.

A hand covered with a balloon is approaching.

Luo Di could sense that even if he unleashed his full power, he would find it difficult to avoid this contact.

It seems that after he left the shop,

He was already being watched by the clown when he arrived on the fourth floor.

Snap!

The hand landed on the shoulder.

The feel is completely different.

It doesn't have the rubbery feel of a balloon.

It's not a normal physical sensation.

The clown's arm was thrown off, resulting in a dislocated arm that hung in mid-air.

There was another person next to Luo Di.

It was neither Hua Yuan nor Wu Wen, but a friend she had only recently met.

A frail-looking young man with blond hair parted in the middle, wearing a white Turtleneck Sweater, stood next to Luo Di, with one hand gently resting on his shoulder.

The cool-toned iris was staring at the clown opposite.
