"Since you call me Uncle Qian, then I'll take the liberty of calling you Junbao. Where is that good stuff Wu Tong mentioned? Let Uncle Qian see it for himself."

Qian Duo laughed and said that he liked dealing with these kinds of talented martial artists the most because they could often get better things and weren't too rigid about the price, being more generous than ordinary martial artists.

Zhang Junbao smiled slightly, opened the large backpack he had brought, and the largest item inside was the enormous moon-shaped monster egg. Holding the egg, Zhang Junbao placed it on the table and smiled at Qian Duo, saying, " Uncle Qian, can you identify what kind of monster egg this is?"

"Oh? Well, you're testing me now. Today, Uncle Qian will show you something."

After saying that, Qian Duo walked around the monster egg, carefully examined it, and then touched it with his hand.

He said, "This egg is about half a meter tall, with a diameter of about 40 centimeters at its widest point. It is pointed at the top and rounded at the bottom, which helps it maintain its shape and prevents it from rolling and falling."

The eggs of mammals tend to be more evenly spaced at both ends because they live in environments where the eggs don't have to worry about rolling away.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the egg of a avian monster.

Qian Duo raised his head and confidently looked at Zhang Junbao.

Zhang Junbao didn't say anything, but simply gave him a thumbs up. Qian Duo's explanation showed that he had a very detailed understanding of the characteristics of demonic beasts.

"Hehe, the eggshell is moon white, with a smooth surface and a smooth feel, suggesting it's a flying monster with extremely fast flight speed."

I heard it was Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle that captured you. You didn't steal its eggs, did you?

Qian Duo, a seasoned businessman, analyzed the types of monster eggs and, drawing on Zhang Junbao's experience, offered his own judgment.

"Impressive! To be able to identify what kind of monster's egg it is just by looking at it without any instruments is truly amazing!"

"That's right, this is the egg of that Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle." Zhang Junbao smiled. As expected of the supervisor in charge of acquiring monster materials within the Limits Dojo, his eyesight and analytical skills alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Haha, just as I thought. These are just basic skills, nothing to mention." Although Qian Duo said it was nothing, you could tell from his smug expression that he was very pleased to hear Zhang Junbao praise his professional skills.

"This is the cycle of cause and effect. That Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle captured you, but in return, its own offspring ended up in your hands. It's a matter of reaping what you sow."

It's said that this Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle is strong enough to be High-Level Beast General, so this egg must be quite valuable.

"That's right, it has the strength of High-Level Beast General. However, this one is not a descendant of a High-Level Beast General. Its father should be a Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle whose strength is close to that of Intermediate Lord."

"What? Intermediate Lord? This is the egg of a Lord-level monster?"

"Quick, give me the equipment."

An assistant quickly handed over a spider-shaped device. Qian Duo attached several of the devices around the monster egg, with the other end connected to a special computer inside the briefcase.

A large amount of analytical data quickly appeared on the computer screen.

" Junbao, you're amazing! You even managed to get your hands on the egg of Lord-level flying beast. That's a treasure as hard to obtain as a dragon egg!"

Even in terms of practical value, it surpasses the dragon egg.

This is the first time I've ever seen a monster egg like this.

Qian Duo said excitedly, "Beast eggs are rare, and bird-type beast eggs are even rarer. As for the eggs of Lord-level bird-type beasts, this is the first time I've ever seen Qian Duo in all my years at the Limits Dojo."

"Oh? It's even more valuable than a dragon egg? How could that be?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"That's for sure. Birds have a shorter growth cycle than beasts, and a bird-like demon beast, as long as it reaches the level of a Beast General, even if it's just Junior Beast General, Advanced Beast General."

More importantly, birds can carry martial artists through the sky, a capability possessed only by Spirit Reader. Imagine, if a Wargod possessed a flying beast, he could venture deep into the Wilderness Zone without suffering any losses, kill the target beast, and then return safely.

For a typical Wargod to hunt a Lord-level monster in City 003, it would take at least three or four days, during which they would encounter many herds of beasts, resulting in a significant drain on both time and energy.

But with flying beasts, you can fly directly to your destination, kill the Lord-level beast, and then leave at your leisure, without worrying about being surrounded by beasts. You can make a round trip in half a day; that efficiency is more than doubled!

Moreover, the stamina of flying beasts is even better than that of Spirit Reader. Wargod possesses it, he is essentially half Spirit Reader.

Human fighter jets are too conspicuous entering the Wilderness Zone and would be attacked by hordes of monsters, but it's different with flying monsters. As long as martial artists conceal themselves, they will basically go undetected.

Qian Duo excitedly explained.

Zhang Junbao then realized that he had made a mistake. He had only considered the monster's combat ability, but the monster didn't need to fight at all. Its greatest value was simply to serve as a means of transportation.

Moreover, in crucial moments, the fighting power of demonic beasts is also quite formidable.

" Spirit Reader might not need it, but for warriors at the God of Wargod level, who can't afford fighter jets that cost hundreds of billions, such flying monsters are a very good alternative."

"Beep!" A crisp sound rang out from the instrument.

"The inspection is complete. According to the database comparison, this is indeed a Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle egg, and it is very resilient. It should hatch soon."

The Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle ranks among the top three in flight speed among demonic beasts, and its growth potential is also high. If properly trained, it can grow into Lord-level, which is equivalent to a human Wargod!

Haha, it really is a treasure! I can meet my sales target ahead of schedule this year.

"Based on market value, 7 billion Huaxia Currency, Junbao, what do you think?" Qian Duo was already overjoyed; this Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle egg was definitely a pleasant surprise for him.

Zhang Junbao's eyes widened in disbelief at the price; it was 2 billion more than the price of Luo Feng's Iron-Armored Dragon egg!

Seeing that Zhang Junbao remained silent for a long time, Qian Duo became anxious. He looked at Wu Tong, but to his surprise, Wu Tong was also stunned.

"This price is not low. It's a fixed price of 8 billion. This is the highest price I can offer for my licensing rights."

Zhang Junbao calmed down, nodded, and said, "Okay, that's the price."

" Uncle Qian, why is your price higher than the price I found on the forum?"

"Yeah, Old Qian, I was stunned when you quoted that price. I remember a dragon egg that appeared in the European Union before was only worth a little over 6 billion, right?"

"How much are the materials from a Lord-level monster worth?" Wu Tong asked as well.

"How could this monster egg be priced like materials? Its value to the Wargod is far greater than combat suits or weapons."

Think about it, an SS-level weapon costs tens of billions. The dragon egg in the European Union is a beast egg, and although it belongs to High Lord, its actual value is not comparable to yours.

As for comparing it to materials from monsters, that's like selling a new car as raw material; their uses are completely different.

"It's settled then. This Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle egg is mine now. The Huaxia Military Department has been looking for me for a long time, wanting to raise a flying beast for battlefield reconnaissance and breakthrough purposes. Now I have a solution." Qian Duo carefully put away the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle egg, his expression more precious than if he were treating his own daughter.

"We were too hasty. If it were for military use, this Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle would be worth far more than 10 billion!" Wu Tong thought for a moment and said with some regret.

"Haha, this price is already acceptable. After all, it requires incubation and cultivation, which also requires investment." Zhang Junbao saw things clearly; the price Qian Jun offered exceeded his expectations and was more than enough.

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
