Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Spinalcoil [Bonus]

[Brown Snake (?)]

[Cost: 1,200,050 (F) Coins]

Sylas looked at this price for a long time, even wondering if he had seen wrongly. But every time he looked, it was the same.

The question mark didn't mean that this snake was some sort of powerhouse, which was likely why there was just one question mark this time instead of three, like he was used to seeing in such a situation. Instead, it was because the egg had yet to be properly appraised, and this "shop" had a bit of a gacha situation going on.

As for the name "brown snake," that was just a casual label meant to be a clue as to its origin. After all, there was some low-level appraising going on just for the sake of categorizing the eggs into their proper categories.

If it was just that, it would be fine. But Sylas had the eyes of a Vipermancer. He knew that this egg was completely worthless, and yet it was set at 1.2 million Coins.

Brown Snake might as well be its actual name. It had, expectedly, brown scales and would only grow to about three feet in length. Other than that, it would be pretty decent at spitting in your face for a distraction. If you expected anything else, well... it was best you not expect anything in the first place, honestly.

The main issue wasn't that this snake was so weak; it was that they were all weak. No matter where he looked, Sylas found worthless eggs being put up for upwards of five million.

It was a shameless money grab that existed for just one reason, apparently... the hope of something great.

These eggs, once they hatched, would expectedly become attached. If you played it safe and got a contract Template, you could gain a combat pet. Though this would be inferior to a Combat Mount that could scale with your stats and would naturally understand your commands and orders, for people who just wanted an extra bit of safety and protection in this world, such pets could be worth a lot.

The brown snake was truly pathetic, but there were some eggs here that had the potential to become FF and FF+ threats if raised correctly.

But Sylas had no intention of wasting a slot on a Common Beast.

It seemed like it was a dead end here.

'Hm?'

Sylas left the region but then found something else interesting.

'City Protectors...'

This was a category of beasts that Sylas had never seen before. They seemed tied to the fate of a city and had ridiculous Constitution as a result. They were a lot like the formation Cassarae bought back then to protect the city from the sudden attack.

But they were even more expensive. Even the weakest was five million, and the strongest present here were easily ten times that. There was even one that was over nine figures.

Sylas wasn't anywhere near able to afford such a thing right now. And even if he could, it wouldn't help him very much. After all, it wasn't like he was a walking city.

A City Protector needed a City Stele to be bound to in order for it to work properly.

'I'll keep this in mind.'
