Chapter 29: Exotic Color and Pattern, Immeasurable Price

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As when Fang Yuan was feeling puzzled, a pretty but cold-looking red-haired girl walked up to the stage.

Her beauty immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The red-haired girl took out the contract gem that was sealed with “eleven-star pattern light butterfly”.

She carefully studied the patterns on its back and then nodded with satisfaction. “The quality is not bad.”

“Okay. Congratulations to the anonymous seller and the buyer, Zhang Wanyue. Both parties have successfully concluded the transaction. Congratulations again.”

Fang Yuan thought for a moment. Zhang Wanyue seemed to be a familiar name.

However, that was not what he should be thinking about now.

He wanted to go up and ask this person why a light butterfly could be sold for such a high price.

Before he could say anything, he noticed that there were many people surrounding the light butterfly and chattering non-stop.

“Tsk tsk, this quality is really amazing. Eight million. This money is really well spent!”

“Eleven star pattern, it’s really rare! I have a nine star pattern, but I can’t bear to sell it. Haha, sister, you have good eyesight.”

“This is my first time seeing it. Look at how clear the pattern is, though it’s a white-winged and it’s a bit of a pity.”

“Strange patterns are already rare enough. You still want strange-colored patterns? How can you get it at eight million? You have to go up to at least ten million!”

“Since all the butterfly friends are gathered here today, why don’t we all show off our collections? Little girl, what do you think?”

…

Since Zhang Wanyue came down from the stage, people of different ages, genders, and genders had gathered around her.

They started to discuss among themselves.

They were all speaking with strange slang.

Even Fang Yuan, who had read a lot of books yesterday which taught him a lot about this world, was still confused.

Zhang Wanyue, who was surrounded in the middle, said, “My fellow butterfly friends, I’m sorry to spoil everyone’s mood. Actually, I’m not a collector of light butterflies. I bought this eleven-star pattern light butterfly not for myself, but for a senior in the army.”

“I see.”

The people next to him continued to talk about other topics.

They stood there and listened for a while.

Fang Yuan roughly understood the situation of this small circle.

Just like there were no two identical leaves in the world, there were no two pet beasts in the world that were exactly the same.

Even if they were the same kind of pet beasts, they would naturally have different qualities, different grades, and even different appearances.

Of course, most of them only had very slight differences.

For example, they were also shadow wolves, but some of them had straight ears, and some folded ears.

Some of them had a gap in their ears or something like that.

However, they they are collectively called Shadow Wolves.

The same was true for other kinds of pet beasts, but light butterflies were very special.

Most of these pet beasts had white wings, and the patterns on their wings were like pentagrams.

However, nature was just that amazing. In addition to the usual white, there were also a small number of light butterflies with red, orange, yellow, turquoise, green, blue, purple, black, and silver wings. These were called “exotic color light butterflies”.

At the same time, the patterns on the wings of light butterflies were also different.

Pentagram was usually the most common.

However, there were also three-pointed stars, four-pointed stars, six-pointed stars, seven-pointed stars, eight-pointed stars, nine-pointed stars, ten-pointed stars, eleven-pointed stars, and twelve-pointed stars.

The other nine different patterns existed were called “exotic pattern light butterflies”.

Both exotic color light butterflies and exotic pattern light butterflies were extremely rare.

Humans had a very strong desire for what was scarce, and everyone wanted what was scarce.

Therefore, according to the degree of scarcity, exotic-colored and exotic-patterned light butterflies could be sold at a high price.

That was why Zhang Wanyue would spend eight million to buy an eleven-pointed star-patterned light butterfly.

This was because exotic-patterned light butterflies were extremely rare and worth this price.

At the same time, humans had another extremely strong desire, which was to collect and collect.

Just like how some people’s hobby was stamp collecting.

Many rich people’s hobby was to collect all kinds of light butterflies and collect them as their pet beasts.

In the small circle of the upper-class, collecting light butterflies was also considered an elegant hobby and was recognized by the same circle.

It could be said that the light butterflies with different colors and patterns were the hard currency of luxury goods in this world.

If that was the case…

Fang Yuan looked at the light butterflies that he had captured in the arcane realm behind the mountain through the contract gem.

In his previous life, he was a serious player of Pokémon.

If he could only contract one pet of the same type, he would choose to contract those that had characteristics as much as possible

If he could contract more than one pet of the same type, he would try his best to make each pet have different characteristics.

At that time, when he was capturing the light butterflies, Fang Yuan was quite surprised because there were always a few butterflies with bright colors and unique patterns.

Now, he became silent and mobilized his spiritual power to carefully examine their colors and the patterns on their backs.

He found that among his 100 light butterflies, there was no white or pentagram.

In other words, all of them were exotic-color light butterflies with exotic patterns.

Moreover, each of them had a different color or pattern!

When the shock in his heart gradually subsided, Fang Yuan slowly opened his mouth and asked the audience, “I want to ask, if there are different kinds of strange-colored light butterflies with strange patterns on their hands, how much would they be worth?”

“That depends on how many there are.”

“Dozens of them?”

To keep a low profile, Fang Yuan gave a vague number.

“Dozens… dozens of them?” The person who was asked widened his eyes and looked shocked. “The value… is unlimited!”
