"So we have to add another transaction link to make it count, is it possible to transfer from one hand to the other?"
Walking out of the Adventurer's Guild, Ash tossed his purse and thought.
It is highly unlikely. Ash feels that there should be a corresponding judgment mechanism.
But he would have to try again. If he succeeded, he could quickly complete this achievement. If he failed, there would be no loss.
'How should the money be spent?'
Ash held the purse in his hand, thinking about what he should spend the money on.
There is no need for him to learn more skills; [Chiko Swordsmanship] and [Sun Breathing] are enough for him.
The equipment can be updated and you can buy a set of second-level equipment, but this should be put on hold for now.
Otherwise, sudden wealth may very likely arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives.
But it should be okay to buy something to save your life.
Passing by a market entrance, Ash suddenly stopped.
Looking inside the market, Ash pinched his chin with his fingers and began to think.
This is the slave market. Ash stopped here not to save money to buy a female slave for Sese, like he did with Dolph, who was purely dominated by the small head.
He was wondering whether he should buy a magical pet to make up for his shortcomings, but as for people, forget it.
Compared to monsters with clear evolutionary paths, unless one has outstanding talents, the cost-effectiveness of training Homo sapiens is not as good as that of ordinary monsters.
After thinking for a while, Ash stepped into the slave market.
The street was relatively clean, not as dirty and messy as other streets. The only thing that made Ash feel uncomfortable was the slaves placed on both sides of the road like goods.
Looking at the men and women with large areas of naked skin exposed and only a few pieces of cloth covering their bodies, Ash sighed inwardly.
The discomfort after recovering the memory is getting worse.
When passing by a shop, Ash suddenly stopped and looked at the Chamber of Commerce logo in front of him with a hint of surprise.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the Chamber of Commerce that sold the male protagonist of the Evil God Manor. Because the trademark was a word in the shape of a hook, Ash was quite impressed by it.
Seeing Ash stop by, the clerk immediately came over and said, "Sir, what do you need?"
"Do you sell magical pets?" Ash replied.
"What a coincidence! Our Chamber of Commerce is just about to get involved in the magic pet business." The clerk clapped his hands. "We just received a batch of good goods last month. Would you like to take a look?"
"Okay." Ash followed the clerk inside.
The clerk asked as he led the way, "What type of familiar do you need? A humanoid bed warmer or a bodyguard?"
"Consider it a bodyguard. I need a pet with strong tracking ability." Ash said as he looked around to see if he could find that familiar figure.
"A pet with strong tracking ability." The clerk thought for a moment and said, "Then I would recommend this kind of pet."
The clerk brought Ash to a cage, inside of which were three puppies with light green fur, looking listless.
"Pointed-eared hound, commonly known as the elf dog." The clerk introduced, "A new monster bred from the offspring of a real elf dog. Its hunting ability in the jungle is top-notch among the black iron species."
"There are two directions of evolution. The first is the Elf Dog, and the second is the Green Forest Four-eared Dog."
"Is it easy to raise?" Ash asked.
"It's very easy to keep." The clerk said, "It can survive by just drinking water and eating vegetables. As long as you make sure to get some sunlight every day, there won't be any major problems."
"Well, how much?" Ash asked.
"Three golds." The clerk bared his teeth.
Ash glanced at the black light that was beginning to rise from the clerk and bargained without hesitation: "1 gold 50 silver."
"Deal!" the clerk said without hesitation.
"Is there any profit in cutting it in half?"
Ash reluctantly took out 1 gold and 50 silver from his wallet, but didn't give it to him directly: "Give me the dog first." "Okay." The clerk nodded, "Which one do you want, sir?"
Ash glanced around and pointed at a pointy-eared beagle that was already sitting by the railing, staring at him: "Let's take this one."
"Okay." The clerk went to open the cage, and the little pointed-eared beagle couldn't wait to run out of the cage. The clerk was not paying attention and failed to catch it.
When he looked back, the pointy-eared beagle was already jumping and hopping around Ash.
"It seems that this pointed-eared hound likes you very much, sir," said the clerk.
Ash picked up the pointy-eared beagle and handed the money to the clerk: "Give me a collar and a leash."
"Okay." The clerk quickly handed Ash the sales certificate, collar and leash.
Ash collected his things and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Do you have any slaves from Fuso?"
"Fuso?" The clerk thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, but this month's goods will be arriving soon. I'll keep an eye out for you then?"
There was a hint of strangeness in Ash's eyes. This month was already the last month of autumn, and winter was not far away.
"Okay, how long will it take for the goods to arrive?" Ash took out a silver coin and handed it to the clerk.
The clerk took the silver coin with a smile on his face: "Today is the 5th, and the new goods will arrive on the 15th or 16th, which is about ten days. What kind of goods do you want me to pay attention to?"
"A male slave who can work," said Ash.
"Okay, guest, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Walking out of the slave market, Ash held up the puppy in his hand and took a look: "It's a male."
"Well, let me think of what to call you. Green, vegetable, vegetable dog." Ash nodded the puppy's head. "The real name is Luke, and the despicable name is Vegetable Dog."
"From now on, you will be called Cai Gou. Do you understand, Cai Gou?"
“┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~” the little dog barked.
"Still quite energetic." Ash put the dog down and led it to a normal chamber of commerce.
Not long after, Ash left with Noob again, and a new achievement was completed.
{Achievement: [Spend Money Like Water II] Achieved, Reward: Achievement Points*2}
{Activate achievement · [Spendthrift III]: Spend 13/100 gold coins.}
Arriving at the vocational training center, Ash walked up to the counter and said, "Hello, I need a beast control skill, warrior-oriented."
The waitress at the counter looked at Ash with a glint in her eyes and said, "So what kind of help do you need? A contract, stimulating a pet, borrowing pet abilities, or training a pet."
"For contracts and training of magical pets." Ash said.
The positioning of the newbie is the same as his race name. Ash only intends to use him as a useful hunting dog, so there is no need for skills that can temporarily increase combat power.
The same goes for those who borrow the abilities of magical pets. Ash doesn't think that the newbie has any useful abilities that can significantly help him improve his combat power. After all, his skill library is already luxurious.
However, in order to prevent it from being too brittle, necessary cultivation is still necessary.
"Okay." The waitress nodded. She took out seven skill crystals and introduced them to Ash one by one.
"Give me the [Life Servants Contract] and [Fighting Spirit Nourishment]." Ash said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." The waitress nodded, "3 gold and 20 silver in total."
Ash handed over the money and felt his palm being tickled.
I glanced at the waitress and found that she had opened her collar a little, revealing a cleavage.
'Is this what it feels like to be hit on?'
Ash felt a little complicated, this was the first time in his two lives that he had received teasing hints from the opposite sex.
Ash turned a blind eye to the waitress's temptation, and after learning the skills, he left with the dog.
