Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 246

The solution was evident, though it would require considerable resources: more eggs, more beasts for promising students. And he needed to begin immediately.

After finishing processing the tentacles, Ren dedicated some time to his daily cultivation. The light of his mushrooms acquired that characteristic bluish tone while he channeled energy.

Min and Taro imitated him shortly afterward, each focused on their own techniques.

Liu, having completed his routine in the morning, continued with his studies without paying much attention.

Lin didn't seem likely to appear to supervise today's exercise, which wasn't surprising considering the circumstances. Ren took advantage of this absence to extract three more cores from his now abundant personal reserve.

When his companions finished their cultivation, Ren silently headed toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Min asked, looking up from his meditation position.

"Exchange warehouse," Ren responded succinctly. "I'll be back soon."

"But they told us to..." Taro began, concern evident in his voice.

Ren merely smiled, his mushrooms pulsing with quiet determination. "I won't be long."

Upon arrival, he found the special materials section still active, with Jessy nervously organizing several scrolls behind the counter. She was sorting through the chaotic aftermath of the academy's disruption.

"Ren!" the young woman exclaimed upon seeing him, her cat ears moving with surprise. "You shouldn't be here."

"I need some specific materials," he responded directly. "It's important."

Jessy seemed to hesitate, but something in Ren's expression must have convinced her. The intensity in his eyes perhaps, or the unusual urgency in his typically measured demeanor.

"Well, I suppose I can make an exception. What are you looking for?" She pulled a ledger toward her, ready to check inventory.

"Cheap Wind Lynx parts, five," Ren began, mentally consulting his list.

Jessy quickly reviewed the inventory. "We have some cheap Iron rank ones." Her fingers traced down the columns of her ledger."

Professor Zhao's auxiliary had a specimen. They're not very common, but not excessively rare either.

After verifying the price, Ren nodded. Five hundred crystals was reasonable for a component of that quality.

"I also need five Demonic Bashe parts," he continued.

Jessy's eyes widened slightly. "That's... quite unusual. We only have as the lowest… the Bronze-1 rank, and they're considerably more expensive."

"How much?" Ren asked, mentally preparing himself.

"Five thousand crystals for the complete set."

Ren made an internal grimace. It was undoubtedly a higher sum since they weren't Iron rank, but the expedition had been extraordinarily productive. He could afford it. The Bashe components would provide the perfect balance of stealth and power for what he had planned.

"And finally," he continued, "I need components of the Celestial White Tiger. Its initial form, the striped light cat."

This time, Jessy seemed genuinely surprised. "That's extremely rare, Ren. Even more than the Bashe."

"Do you have anything?"

"Yes, but..." Jessy consulted the registry again. "Twenty thousand crystals, and that's with your luck being generous because they're only Bronze-1 rank. Normally there's nothing that isn't Silver since the Starweavers control that market."

Ren calculated quickly. Between the price of the materials and what he would need for other components of the process, he was spending an amount that would have sounded substantial to him before. But he remembered Luna, her support since that first day. Despite her occasionally overwhelming insistence, she had proven to be an ally and a good person.

"I'll take it," he finally decided. "All of it."

"Is that everything?"

"Yes, please," Ren affirmed.

The additional presences at the ceremony didn't go unnoticed by Ren. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
