Buying Them Out, the Color of Miracles

The Courier Bird panicked a little as Lin Yuan stared at it.

Had it delivered the wrong package a few days ago? Had Customers come to complain?

It frantically searched its memory but could not think of anything it had done wrong. Not knowing made it even more frightened.

Surely it wouldn't become the first Courier Bird to be "fired" for a mistake just one week into the job?

The older birds were right. They said never to get attached to any Customers. And now look what had happened! It thought it had met an angel, but he was a devil trying to push it into the abyss!

"Because experiments may be involved, and there have been some unfortunate incidents in the past, the Alliance has fairly strict rules."

"You can borrow them for free, but you must return the Courier Birds without any physical or mental harm. Otherwise, you'll have to pay compensation."

"Or you can buy them outright. Courier Birds are Ordinary Mid-Grade pet beasts. Since they have no known evolution path, you can buy them for eight thousand Alliance Coins each if you have a valid reason."

"The Pet Beast Alliance will transfer ownership of the Courier Birds."

Tian Shan recited the rules as required, though he doubted the two of them would buy the Courier Birds.

Even if they were cheap, why pay when
