Ancient Jade Has Disappeared

Ye Bai's eyes were as red as some ninja's bloodshot eyes.

But after a few seconds, the blood-red color faded, returning to deep, pitch-black pupils.

He habitually touched the Ancient Jade on his chest, the Ye Family heirloom.

Damn it, where had his huge Ancient Jade gone?

The cord holding the Ancient Jade was as thick as a hemp stalk. Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for anyone to steal it.

Combined with the strange change in his eyes, it was not hard for Ye Bai to connect the Ancient Jade, shaped like a heart, to the legendary Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart.

Although he did not know what grade of treasure it was, Ye Bai guessed it was at least Legendary grade or above.

This overwhelming fortune had finally fallen into his hands.

Ye Bai's heart thumped wildly. At that moment, he felt a cool sensation flow from his chest toward his eyes.

The soreness in his eyes from using Eye of Insight vanished in an instant.

"No wonder Li Weiyang was so cautious when using Eye of Insight."

"It should be like how those ninjas go blind after using their eyes too much."

"This must involve Pupil Power and replenishing Pupil Power."

"However, since people in the Yan Country Alliance have awakened Eye of Insight before, there should be ways to deal with it."

"Although the Eye of Insight talent is extremely rare, they say Duan Tao, the principal of Imperial Capital University, awakened this talent."

"He has studied it for many years already, so he should have developed medicine to relieve eye discomfort."

Ye Bai muttered to himself.

He looked at the Lightning Cat in the cardboard box. He was curled up in a corner of the box, trembling.

His fur was pressed tightly against his body, still covered in clear, transparent amniotic fluid. His eyes had not even opened yet.

"For now, let's leave this Lightning Cat at the Breeding House."

"Da Hui, although this Lightning Cat was abandoned, there is nothing seriously wrong with him. We can find a suitable Pet Beast Master to adopt him."

"When I gave the Lightning Cat a physical examination just now, I already uploaded his information."

"If a Pet Beast Master comes to adopt him, you mustn't be sad."

After hearing Ye Bai's words, Da Hui immediately became somewhat dejected. He held the Lightning Cat in his palms as though he were holding a rare treasure.

His fondness for picking up pet beasts and bringing them back to the Breeding House had become instinctive. He especially liked fluffy things.

This Lightning Cat was probably Da Hui's favorite.

Seeing Da Hui like this, Ye Bai could not bear it. He patted Da Hui on the shoulder.

"Da Hui, don't worry. We'll find him someone to rely on."

"My judgment of people isn't bad."

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is my newly contracted companion—the Thousand Changes Silkworm."

The jade-white, one-meter-tall Thousand Changes Silkworm crawled out of Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space.

"Thousand Changes Silkworm, this is Da Hui. I consider him family. The rest are the pet beasts in the shop."

From the very beginning, Ye Bai had not planned to hide the Thousand Changes Silkworm's existence. Otherwise, people might later label him some scheming pretty boy.

However, Ye Bai still subconsciously used Eye of Insight on the Thousand Changes Silkworm.

[Pet Beast Name: Thousand Changes Silkworm]

[Level: lv2 (First Order Level 2)]

[Skills: Ram, Silk Spit, Harden]

[Evolution Path: Myriad Changes Silkworm???]

"How strange. The Thousand Changes Silkworm evolves into the Myriad Changes Silkworm? My heavens."

"Even the Lightning Cat has two Evolution Paths."

"How could such a rare pet beast have such a single-minded Evolution Path? That shouldn't be possible!"

"That shouldn't be possible!"

"Could it be that what I got is a crippled version of Eye of Insight? No, that can't be right. The Information System said it copied Eye of Insight. Logically, it should have been a one-hundred-percent copy."

"I'll go through the library later and find out exactly what kind of talent Eye of Insight is."

"I need to know what limitations it has, so I don't get led around by rumors."

Ye Bai had only heard others rave about how amazing the Eye of Insight talent was. Looking at it now, it was merely so-so.

It was not even as impressive as his Information System. It even knew that the principal was bald.

After Ye Bai summoned the Thousand Changes Silkworm from his Pet Beast Space, he had slept his fill and was brimming with energy. Like a curious baby, he looked at the surrounding pet beasts.

Before long, the Thousand Changes Silkworm had gotten along with the other pet beasts. It was as if he had Social Bullshitting Syndrome. Da Hui watched him with a smile; he liked the lively atmosphere of the Breeding House.

Ye Bai took a laid-back approach to selling. Every pet beast in the shop had been registered, and their flaws had all been explained clearly.

He believed that a pet beast and a Pet Beast Master had to catch each other's eye. Otherwise, he would not let the pet beast leave.

The pet beast Ye Bai sold most often was the Sunflower. It was a wood-attribute plant-type pet beast, and it looked like an oversized sunflower.

It only needed some water and sunlight to survive, making it an exceptionally easy-to-raise plant-type pet beast.

One of the ingredients in the Berserk Potions sold in Ye Bai's shop was Sunflower leaves.

At the same time, Sunflower nectar was also a relatively precious tonic.

In Ye Bai's yard, there was also a Sunflower as large as a millstone.

It was the only Second Order pet beast in the shop. Every Sunflower in the shop had propagated from it.

That night.

Just after midnight.

Ye Bai saw lines of text appear on his panel.

Daily Intelligence Update.

[1. Scientific research has shown that placing a Sunstone at the roots of a Sunflower gives it a certain chance of evolving into a Sunflower King. The higher the quality of the Sunstone, the greater the chance of a Sunflower King appearing.]

[2. At 5:45 p.m. today, the only ten-yuan scratch card at Lottery Station No. 24785 will reveal a million-yuan grand prize.]

[3. The Gray Night Chinchilla has an Evolution Path. According to scientific research, they need lightning-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, such as a Lightning Core or Source of Thunder, to evolve into a Thunder Chinchilla.]

[4. A Third Order peak Pig Dragon in Jiaying City plans to undergo Flood Dragon Migration in three months, activating the Dragon Bloodline in its body and advancing into a Fourth Order Flood Dragon.]

[5. Dragon Soaring Auction House will auction off a piece of ore. Someone cut out a palm-sized Sun Crystal from its scrap edges.]

Sure enough, the Information System refreshed every day at midnight.

Ye Bai's gaze lingered mainly on the second and third entries.

The former could solve his current problem of having an empty purse, while the latter could solve Da Hui's evolution problem.

For some unknown reason, Da Hui had become increasingly sleepy. He now slept around twelve hours every day.

Even the Medical Device could not find anything wrong with Da Hui.

Yet Ye Bai vaguely felt that something was off with Da Hui. Considering that Da Hui was a pet beast who had escaped from a private research institute, Ye Bai believed there was probably a problem with his body.

When some pet beasts neared the end of their lives, they reduced their own consumption through sleep.

Da Hui was family who had been with Ye Bai day and night. Ye Bai did not want to stand by and watch problems arise in Da Hui's body.

That was why Ye Bai had gone to such great lengths to obtain the Eye of Insight talent. He wanted to figure out exactly what had happened to Da Hui's body.

However, Ye Bai's Eye of Insight did not work on Da Hui. In Ye Bai's eyes, Da Hui was a mass of Mist, and he could see nothing.

Ye Bai's eyes felt as though they had been scorched by intense light. He fell into temporary blindness and only recovered after quite some time.

He wondered whether the Fifth Order treasure, the Seed of Life, could change Da Hui's current condition.

When Sacred Mountain Middle School selected Resource Boxes, they started with first place. Ye Bai had ranked first last semester and would be the first to choose a Resource Box, so there was an extremely high chance that he could obtain Resource Box No. 38.
