Titanium Crystal Ragdoll

At that moment, the intellectual, glamorous woman was reclining in her chair. She looked under thirty, her expression serious and sharp, every gesture brimming with the poise of a mature woman.

The short black cape jacket she wore perfectly accentuated her figure.

Her jet-black hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders. Her clear pupils, slender willow-leaf brows, and flawless fair skin struck Chen Wei as exceptionally confident and dazzling.

"Hello. I'm Liu Muning, the person in charge of pet beasts at Ragdoll Mall. We spoke on the phone before."

Liu Muning sat with dignified composure, her gaze serene, her face carrying a touch of cool aloofness and capable professionalism.

"Hello," Chen Wei replied politely.

The interview that followed went even more smoothly than Chen Wei had expected. No matter what questions Liu Muning asked, he answered them with ease.

The nervousness he had felt at the beginning gradually vanished during their conversation, and he grew increasingly confident and composed.

At this moment, Chen Wei was watching the interviewer before him with an appreciative gaze, as she maintained her elegant, capable bearing at every moment.

"Very good. Is there anything else you need to know?" Liu Muning seemed quite satisfied as she asked with a smile.

"No." Chen Wei had already learned the details of the job and its compensation thoroughly.

Liu Muning pursed her lips in a smile and said casually, "Although you possess an Appraisal Talent and a junior pet beast appraiser certificate, the necessary on-site test cannot be skipped. After all, you do have quite a few demands."

"As long as you pass the pet beast appraisal assessment, I can meet your requirements of working one day a week and earning over ten thousand Star Coins a month. If your abilities are exceptional, forget the salary—even beast-taming resources won't be a problem."

"Alright, I can take the assessment at any time." Chen Wei smiled confidently. Appraisal was a very simple matter for him.

Liu Muning said no more. A nearly imperceptible red gleam flashed across the dazzling, exquisite Star Ring on her hand.

A red rune array instantly appeared atop the antique, elegant square table. A flash of red light followed, and a cat appeared on the table, its head wedge-shaped and its face marked with a V-shaped pattern.

Its darker eyelids covered its azure eyes. Its limbs were somewhat thick, and a pink bow-tie necklace hung around its neck.

Its belly rose and fell faintly beneath its fluffy fur, and it occasionally smacked its lips, seemingly still immersed in a sweet dream.

"This is a Titanium Crystal Ragdoll I contracted recently. You only need to tell me its racial grade, potential, and skills within half an hour. The more accurate your appraisal results, the higher your score. Seventy points is a pass." Liu Muning gestured for Chen Wei to begin; the appraisal assessment had officially started.

It doesn't seem to be an ordinary Titanium Crystal Ragdoll. Otherwise, a medium extraordinary pet beast wouldn't have any grade potential to speak of. Chen Wei silently pondered as he looked at the sleeping cat.

As a signature pet beast of Water Mountain City, Chen Wei had naturally researched Titanium Crystal Ragdolls before. He had even considered one as his starter pet beast. But once Chen Wei learned its price, he abandoned the idea.

Although the Titanium Crystal Ragdoll's racial grade was only medium extraordinary, its price was anything but low—five million Star Coins, equivalent to the price of a high extraordinary pet beast of the heavenly tier. That price made Chen Wei shrink back.

What was more, neither beast-taming houses nor the Water Mountain Breeding Base offered contract channels for Titanium Crystal Ragdolls. This kind of pet beast could only be purchased from Ragdoll Mall at a steep price.

As for why a medium extraordinary Titanium Crystal Ragdoll was worth so much—

It was because, as a famous rare pet beast in Water Mountain City, the Titanium Crystal Ragdoll was widely sought after and cherished for its adorable, elegant appearance and gentle, quiet temperament.

This clingy pet beast with an especially sweet disposition could even be kept at home without a contract. It also possessed tremendous potential and contained numerous evolution paths, including forms such as the Fire Crystal Ragdoll, Water Crystal Ragdoll, Thunder Crystal Ragdoll, and Gem Ragdoll.

After evolving several times, a Fire Crystal Ragdoll could even evolve into the Blazing Sun Ragdoll, an immensely powerful pet beast with the racial grade of Radiant King.

Of course, the resources required for its multiple evolutions were equally an astronomical expense.

The Titanium Crystal Ragdoll's sole flaw was that it could easily be influenced by source-energy attributes and natural treasures, evolving into ragdolls of all kinds of forms—especially when it used its Titanium Crystal Stance skill.

Thus, there was a saying in Water Mountain City: "Dressed in finery and dripping with jewels does not mean luxury. True luxury is owning a Titanium Crystal Ragdoll wearing a Meteorite Necklace."

As the name implied, the most important part of the Meteorite Necklace was the meteorite fragment set into it.

Meteorite was a mineral resource not yet discovered on Blue Planet. It was said to be a rare meteorite that had fallen from beyond the heavens. It could allow pet beasts to retain their own forms and was a level-four rare resource capable of preventing pet beasts from evolving.

In Water Mountain City—and even throughout Hanyang Province—a Titanium Crystal Ragdoll wearing a Meteorite Necklace was synonymous with luxury. The Meteorite Necklace alone was a figure Chen Wei did not dare imagine.

The girl Chen Wei had encountered on the stairs earlier was clearly a hidden young lady from a wealthy family. Her actions were like carrying several top-tier supercars around with her, then casually letting them speed wildly wherever they pleased.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Wei focused his attention on the Titanium Crystal Ragdoll sleeping soundly on the table.

He had always held a deep fondness for fluffy pet beasts like this. Unfortunately, he could not afford one.

Chen Wei decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely contract a Titanium Crystal Ragdoll.

He gently gave the still-drowsy Titanium Crystal Ragdoll a few rubs.

At that moment, the cyan light of the Source Star in Chen Wei's mind began to flicker. Feeling the connection between his will and the Source Star, he directly activated his mental power and used Appraisal.

"Meow!" As if sensing that it was being watched, the Titanium Crystal Ragdoll opened its sleepy eyes and looked curiously at Chen Wei.

[Pet Beast Name]: Titanium Crystal Ragdoll

[Pet Beast Age]: Two months

[Pet Beast Attribute]: Crystal

[Racial Grade]: High Extraordinary

[Strength Level]: Level 10 Juvenile

[Racial Skills]: Titanium Crystal Stance, Titanium Crystal Absorption, Titanium Crystal Dash, Titanium Crystal Claw Strike, Charm

[Pet Beast Potential]: Upper Yellow Tier

Chen Wei smiled and blinked a few times in response to the little cutie's curiosity, then took the chance to stroke its warm, smooth back with his right hand.

"Its potential grade is upper Yellow-tier extraordinary. Its awakened skills are Titanium Crystal Stance, Titanium Crystal Absorption, Titanium Crystal Dash, Titanium Crystal Claw Strike, and Charm. Its strength level is Level 10 Juvenile."

After Chen Wei had contentedly finished petting the cat, he spoke with a confident expression.

Liu Muning's beautiful eyes brightened slightly, and her red lips parted. Her magnetic voice rang out as she directly increased the difficulty of the assessment question.

"Can you appraise the source-energy attribute inclination of its crystal?"

At this moment, a trace of curiosity showed in Liu Muning's eyes as she looked at Chen Wei.

Clearly, Chen Wei, who was merely a junior appraiser, possessing appraisal abilities that were both this fast and this accurate had completely exceeded her expectations.
