Others Tame Beasts, I Tame Demons - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Activating the Secret Treasure

Su Yi didn’t mind teaming up with others, especially powerful teammates. After all, having more people could share a lot of risk.

However, Bai Zhiyan was a little girl who was not even twelve years old. Could she really be considered a teammate?

Although she was very strong and could be considered an outstanding apprentice-level Beast Tamer, her personality was still a little immature.

Su Yi suspected that he would become a nanny if he entered the mystic realm with such a little girl…

However, after pondering for a moment, he still said, “I’ve also heard of that mystic realm. It just so happens that I want to go and take a look. If Miss Zhiyan doesn’t mind, I’m willing to go in and explore with her.”

“Does that mean you’ve agreed, Xiao Yi?”

Li Wenyu was surprised.

She originally thought that she would have to waste a lot of time. After all, there were many risks in such a mystic realm that had yet to be explored.

Su Yi smiled and said, “Auntie, why are you so surprised? Although Miss Zhiyan is young, her strength is not inferior to any apprentice-level Beast Tamer. With such a strong teammate, my safety will be greatly guaranteed. Many people can’t get her even if they beg.”

Li Wenyu chuckled. “Stop praising her. If she’s really as outstanding as you say, I won’t have to worry. Anyway, I’ll have to trouble you this time.”

“Auntie, you don’t have to be so polite. Miss Zhiyan is indeed very outstanding. Moreover, Senior Bai Zhining has helped me a lot in the past. However, you should also know that there might be some unknown dangers in this kind of mystic realm. If I encounter them, I can only promise you that I will do my best to save her. As for the outcome, it will depend on luck.”

Su Yi gave her a heads up.

“Auntie understands. That’s enough for me. We’ve only met twice, but Auntie can see you’re a good, trustworthy boy!”

Li Wenyu’s tone was very serious and did not sound like a compliment.

Huh?

Am I really that good?

Su Yi was a little embarrassed by the praise, but he said, “Auntie, you’re too kind.”

“There’s no need to be humble. Everyone who knows me knows that I, Li Wenyu, never speak politely. If there are no other problems, I’ll send someone to pick you up at eight tomorrow morning. When the time comes, you’ll go to that mystic realm in the suburbs together.”

Li Wenyu made the decision.

“Well…”

Su Yi hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. “Auntie, I have another presumptuous request. Before entering the mystic realm, I want to make more preparations. Can you… lend me a million yuan first?”

With that, Su Yi was so embarrassed that he could dig a house on the floor with his toes.

Borrowing money was really too embarrassing!

Li Wenyu was stunned at first, then she chuckled. “I thought it was something big, but it’s just a small matter. No problem, I’ll get someone to transfer it to you. By the way, is a million yuan enough?”

“It’s enough, more than enough. Thank you, Auntie.”

Su Yi hurriedly replied.

“You’re welcome. Take it as payment in advance. I’ll leave Zhiyan to you.”

Payment?

A million yuan for accompanying that little girl into the mystic realm? Wasn’t that too much?

He subconsciously refused. “That won’t do. I’m borrowing a million yuan. If Auntie does this, I’ll be too embarrassed to borrow it from you again. Besides, it’s a mutually beneficial thing to team up and enter the mystic realm together. If you pay me, what kind of person do you think I am?”

“I’m sorry, it’s Auntie’s fault. It’s indeed too inappropriate to say that it’s a payment. But you don’t have to pay this million yuan back in a hurry. You can pay back when you have enough time. Anyway, Auntie doesn’t lack this bit of money.”

Li Wenyu hurriedly apologized.

Huh?

Su Yi was slightly stunned. So, did he really reject the payment?

‘Well, look on the bright side. At least I’ve built up an image of myself as someone who’s not greedy but well-principled…!

After discussing the details of entering the mystic realm, the two of them finally hung up.

Su Yi originally thought that it would take a while before Li Wenyu would transfer the one million yuan over, but he did not expect to receive a transfer from Senior Bai Zhining after only ten seconds.

A million yuan!

Half a month ago, a million yuan was still an astronomical figure to him. He did not expect to have so much money on his card now!

Although it was borrowed, it did not affect his excitement.

He was about to leave the Beast Tamer Association, but now, without thinking, he turned around and walked towards Hall 3.

The paid services such as activating secret treasures were all in Hall 3.

Since they were paid services, the staff here were far more enthusiastic than those in the other halls. When they saw Su Yi enter, a man in uniform immediately walked over and asked with a smile, “Hello, sir. What business do you want to do?”

“I have two secret treasures that need to be activated.”

“The activation business is here, but I have to tell you first that whether it succeeds or not, you have to pay 500,000 yuan for each activation. Of course, as long as you take out a real secret treasure and it’s not damaged, the activation will definitely not fail.”

The man enthusiastically explained it to him.

“I’m aware of the rules here. No need to spell them out. Activate them for me.”

As Su Yi spoke, he took out the two treasures from his pocket.

The man had a smile on his face, but when he saw the two treasures, his face froze and his eyebrows involuntarily raised.

What the hell was that?

‘A broken ring and a pendant with a missing part. Are you sure it’s not a scrap?’

“Um… Sir, it’s a little rude to say this, but I want to remind you that these two items of yours… let’s just say they’re secret treasures.

“From my years of experience, these two treasures are completely damaged and have no value in activating. If you must activate them, you would only waste a million yuan in the end.

“If I’m not wrong, you are still a student, right? Instead of betting a million yuan on secret treasures, it’s better to use it to buy a better pet or some spirit herbs that can assist in cultivation.”

It was obvious from Su Yi’s clothes that he was not from a wealthy family. This staff member really wanted to persuade this youth.

However, Su Yi shook his head. “Thank you for your advice, but I trust my own judgment.”

“Trust your own judgment?’

“That’s what every bankrupt gambler says!’

‘Forget it. It’s hard to talk sense into a pig-headed man.’

The man was used to such things and did not say anything else. After taking the secret treasures from Su Yi, he placed one of them into a huge instrument.

Above this device were eight spirit stones!

Although these spirit stones could be used many times, the cost was still not low. No wonder the activation fee was so high.

“Sir, again, are you sure you want to activate this ring?”

According to the rules, the man asked again.

“Positive!”

Su Yi replied firmly.

The man nodded. Without hesitation, he pressed the button to activate the device.

In the next moment, the eight spirit stones instantly released a large amount of spiritual energy and bombarded the ring, forming a dazzling white light.

And the ring began to tremble as if it were alive.

After a while, a dazzling light erupted!

“This is… a success?”

The man’s jaw dropped.

It was already broken and deformed, but it could still be activated successfully. His luck was too good!
