Chapter 558: Chapter 558

After sorting out his own equipment, Du You’s next step was to sort out his pet’s gear. He headed towards the pet shop, but he made a detour to the market to restock on potions.

The two sisters also replenished their arsenal with special arrows. Yes, whether it was the quiver or the Jadeite Bow, they all could automatically form arrows. However, there were occasions when special or regular arrows were required, and hence the need for replenishments.

Du You bought a massive amount of potions, preparing for his upcoming journey into the Demon Calamity World. It was teeming with demons, and a potion shortage would certainly pose a serious issue.

Having stocked up, Du You finally made his way to the pet shop. "Oh, there’s more good stuff here," He remarked, feigning indifference at the materials laid out in the pet shop. The shop never ran out of items like Magical Beast Crystal Cores. Du You noticed Xiaozi getting excited, and after careful observation, he found that a nondescript, dull broken bone was the cause of Xiaozi’s agitation.

Unidentified Bone: Contains a strong Thunder and Lightning Power.

That’s it. Du You walked up, asked a few questions, and bought it for six hundred white Crystal Coins. Yes, white Crystal Coins. The shopkeepers were oblivious to the worth of this bone.

Perhaps, it had little value to anyone else, besides Du You.

Du You and the two sisters discussed and checked out various kinds of equipment. Perhaps, business had been good lately, and the pet shop stocked a greater variety of pet equipment than he had seen during his last visit.

Thunder and Lightning Lock Chain: Increases Thunder and Lightning Power by 20, reduces the consumption of Thunder and Lightning skills by 30% (ruby red).

A second-tier, top-tier equipment for pets of Thunder and Lightning Attribute, perfectly suitable to be wrapped around Xiaozi’s foot. Although the Thunder and Lightning ankle ring obstructed Xiaozi’s claw attacks, it considerably increased her power.

Overall, the Thunder and Lightning ankle ring was not keeping up with Xiaozi’s power growth. But pet equipment was hard to find and it was still second-tier equipment, so Du You did not take it off and left it on Xiaozi.

Soon enough, Du You bought another black feather.

Curse Feather: Enhances curse effects by 20, Increases curse resistance by 15 (ruby red).

He tried it out and felt disappointed. "It’s a pity It can’t be worn with the Curse Bell." Du You was unsure if it was because cursed equipment repelled each another, but it simply did not work.

Without an alternative, Du You removed the Curse Bell, hoping to find an opportunity to get rid of it later.

Selling it to the pet shop meant accepting a grossly underestimated price. The market rates of pet equipment were such that sellers took a hit when buying them back often as much as ten times less than their original purchase price.

It was quite unprofitable to sell it to the pet shop. Du You would rather stash it away than let others think he was a pushover.

Evil Dog Collar: Increases defense by 18, Increases resistance by 18, has a deterrent effect, exclusive for Canine Type pets. (ruby red).

Du You took off the Heavenly Disaster Giant Dogs’ Black Flame Iron collar and replaced it with this one. Although passive attack abilities were reduced, the Heavenly Disaster Giant Dogs gained better protection and survivability.

Death Scorpion’s Heart: Increases Physical Power and Magic Power by 20, heightens recovery speed by 30% (ruby red).

This was for the Death Scorpion. Du You fastened it around the tail, and it was not a hindrance at all.

Courage Lock Chain: Increases pet’s movement and attack speed (ruby red).

The instant Du You spotted the Courage Lock Chain, he immediately grabbed it and handed it over to the Death Gods. The Death Gods were slow, and this equipment could at least make up for their weakness.

Although they couldn’t tell exactly how much it would increase, any improvement was beneficial.

What a pity there wasn’t any strong defensive equipment. If there were, Du You could have made the Death God more resilient. Standard defensive gear was worthless to the Death God’s intrinsic defense.

Finally, only the Black Jade Griffin was left. Funnily enough, finding equipment for the Black Jade Griffin turned out to be easy. As a standard pet, most pet equipment was suitable, but it was tough to find an exact fit. Du You managed to find a suitable Wind Attribute item after much effort.

Wild Wind Collar: Increases Wind Type skill power by 20, when equipped by flying pets, increases flight speed by 20% (ruby red).

Indeed, it increased Wind Type skill power, not Wind Attribute skill power. Du You’s Black Jade Griffin was a transformation of the Wind King Griffin. Its skills were all of the Wind form, yet its intrinsic attribute was of darkness.

The usual Wind Attribute enhancement had no effect on the Black Jade Griffin. However, such niche equipment actually increased Wind Type skills, which had a significant impact on his Black Jade Griffin.

Seeing that someone finally bought the troublesome Wild Wind Collar, which had been lying around for a while, made the shop personnel heave a sigh of relief. Its function was too niche because Wind Attribute skills weren’t necessarily all Wind Type. Some Wind Attribute skills merely utilised the Wind Element, and had nothing to do with Wind.

Customers usually bought equipment specifically for their Wind Attribute pets.

Most of the people around here were from Capital University. They’re not fools to be easily tricked into buying niche products.

Now that someone finally bought it, the shopkeeper gave Du You a 30% discount on the spot.

"This method of training pets is not for everyone," Du You sighed. He spent over 200,000 red Crystal Coins to buy just one piece of top-tier equipment for each pet.

If he wanted to equip all his pets at once, his stash of Crystal Coins would be far from enough.

He shook his head, fearing that he would spend more if he stayed, which was something he couldn’t afford to do. He needed to save for his territory’s development, as it was critical.

Running a territory alone, without involving others, was no easy task. Without sufficient Crystal Coins, your territory’s development could hit a bottleneck and it might not survive potential threats.

After all, his territory was essentially Earth encroaching on other worlds, and inevitable troublesome incidents from other worlds were bound to crop up. Even though they couldn’t attack actively, they could still instigate troubles. The invasion of a small territory was bound to attract a lot of enemies.

However, almost all shopping for this round was done. Du You, along with the two sisters, headed home.
