Free Web NovelCompared to B-rank missions, D-rank missions were much simpler and more straightforward.
They were basically tasks of similar difficulty, like picking Snowmelt Flowers.
The rewards weren't too high either, at most a few hundred thousand star coins.
Of course, for an ordinary family, this reward was already a considerable income.
E-rank missions were even simpler.
Some sought help from pet beasts capable of beauty treatments for skincare.
Others needed liposuction to maintain a perfect slender waist.
Mingxi even saw a pet beast companionship mission that required a high-Appearance Angel System or Fairy System pet beast; the higher the pet beast's Appearance, the higher the reward the employer would give.
It was all about variety and trivial matters.
Among them, there were also missions that interested Mingxi, such as skill teaching missions and sparring missions.
These types of missions generally didn't have high requirements for Beast Tamers' levels, only requiring the pet beast to possess a certain skill and its proficiency to meet the mission's demands.
The rewards varied, with the highest reaching 500,000 star coins and the lowest being 20,000 to 30,000.
“Seeking a pet beast proficient in the Thunderstorm skill for long-term sparring, requiring the Thunderstorm skill to be perfected...”
Mingxi looked at the mission board in front of her; Golden Yuanbao certainly met this mission's requirements.
She then looked at the reward.
“1,000 star coins per hour.”
Mingxi calculated, if sparring for two hours a day, she would earn 60,000 star coins a month.
For most Beast Tamers, this was a decent part-time job.
However, Mingxi wasn't very interested.
It wasn't that she disliked the 60,000 star coins; it was because the employer's pet beast was too low-level, a beginner-level Illusory Thunder Cat.
While such sparring was simple, it offered almost no improvement for Golden Yuanbao.
In short, the cost-effectiveness was too low, making it not worthwhile.
Mingxi browsed a few more missions, generally understood the situation of the Beastmaster Association's mission hall, and then went to the fourth floor.
That was the exchange.
Like the mission hall, the exchange hall was also divided into two parts, but here there was no restriction on Beast Tamers' levels; all association members could enter these three floors.
The fourth and fifth floors were the exchange, similar to a shopping mall, mainly selling rare treasures and items.
The sixth floor, however, was a consignment and procurement center, somewhat similar in nature to the mission hall.
Beast Tamers could directly sell materials or treasures they wished to sell to the Beastmaster Association.
If they were not satisfied with the price offered, they could choose consignment.
And if they couldn't find the desired items on the fourth and fifth floors, they could also post procurement missions on the sixth floor, where buyers and sellers would connect through the mission to complete the transaction.
However, whether it was consignment or procurement, if a transaction was successful, the Beastmaster Association would deduct 10% of the item's transaction price as a commission.
This meant the Beastmaster Association acted as an intermediary between buyers and sellers.
A 10% commission was not low, but this method of trading offered strong privacy and allowed for free choice of transaction methods.
Many Beast Tamers would sell items here that were inconvenient to sell elsewhere, which was commonly known as fencing stolen goods.
The officials were aware of this but did not overly interfere.
As long as it didn't involve major issues like treason, the officials generally turned a blind eye.
Water too clear has no fish.
Not all Elders of the Elder Council were stubborn old fogies.
After all, if there were no Beastmaster Association, other organizations would do such things.
Like the black market.
So, rather than benefiting others, it was better to let the semi-official Beastmaster Association do it.
This kept the profits within and also made it easier for the state to control the overall situation.
Wei Yangang's spatial item was still in Mingxi's hands; in addition to the invaluable data, there were also many valuable items.
Including his spatial item and her own spatial ring, Mingxi planned to sell them for star coins.
However, Mingxi was still a bit uneasy about selling them at the Beastmaster Association.
Even if the Beastmaster Association wouldn't expose her information, anyone with a bit of effort could trace these items back to Haizhou City.
She didn't know about others, but Yu Minlan would definitely connect it to her immediately.
Therefore, the matter of fencing needed to be considered carefully; there was no rush. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Even if she was short on money, she couldn't rush.
However, a portion of the wine immortal honey beehive could be sold to the Beastmaster Association or consigned through the sixth floor.
Mingxi first browsed the fourth and fifth floors.
Goods sold by the Beastmaster Association were generally about 10% more expensive than those in outside malls and shops, but the quality was relatively better, and most importantly, there was no need to worry about buying fakes.
If you actually bought a fake item at the Beastmaster Association's exchange, then congratulations.
You were about to get rich.
All goods at the Beastmaster Association came with an appraisal certificate; once an item was confirmed to be fake, one could demand a thousand times the selling price as compensation from the exchange with the certificate.
Therefore, buying fake goods at the Beastmaster Association's exchange was almost impossible.
Mingxi saw zhuangdan fruit at the fourth-floor exchange, priced at 30,000 per piece.
It was slightly more expensive than the market price, but acceptable.
“Excuse me, how many zhuangdan fruit do you still have here?”
The person at the counter was a handsome young man.
Hearing her question, he didn't ask if she wanted to buy, but smiled kindly and said, “Please wait a moment, customer, I will check the inventory.”
Soon he replied, “We have a total of 61 zhuangdan fruit left here.”
61 pieces, for such a large exchange, was an extremely small quantity.
Some energy fruit warehouses with high transaction volumes stored at least over a thousand.
This was because zhuangdan fruit was relatively unpopular and had low market demand.
Mingxi was troubled; even the Beastmaster Association's exchange only had 61 zhuangdan fruit, making it difficult for her to procure a large quantity in a short period.
Unless she was willing to collect them slowly, and she couldn't acquire them too openly, otherwise, people would definitely notice something amiss.
Even if those people couldn't immediately determine the effect of zhuangdan fruit, if someone started buying a large quantity of zhuangdan fruit on the market, its market price would inevitably increase due to its rarity.
Therefore, to maximize profits, she still needed to find someone to cooperate with.
As for who to find, she already had the best candidate in mind.
“I'll take all 61 zhuangdan fruit.”
The counter attendant looked surprised; the transaction volume of zhuangdan fruit was at the bottom in their exchange, and selling three in a day was already the limit.
He didn't expect such a big customer today.
“Great! Please wait a moment; I'll have the warehouse pack them for you now.”
Both buyer and seller were satisfied, and no unpleasant incidents occurred during the process.
Afterward, Mingxi bought some energy fruit and pet beast snacks that Golden Yuanbao and her other pets usually enjoyed.
Although the goods at the exchange were expensive, their quality was indeed better than what she bought at ordinary stores.
At the same time, she bought 100 C-grade ice-attribute and fire-attribute energy crystals each, planning to activate the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform as soon as she returned.
This procurement trip cost a total of 4.23 million star coins.
Of course, she also visited the sixth floor.
