“Many pieces of information are plain rumors, yet after filtering them out carefully, and selling the scrolls at a higher price, most of the Magicians will try their best to put in so accurate details. After all, if most of the information they provide is fake, they can only sell their scrolls at a very cheap price. When it reaches a certain threshold, the marketplace will forbid them from being a tipper. The minimum requirent to beco a tipper is the Advanced Hunter rank, while most of the tippers are Hunter Masters. There are quite a few Senior Hunters, too,” said Zhao Manyan.
Mo Fan had definitely learned sothing new.
If the news was from Hunter Masters or Senior Hunters, the information that the scrolls contained would be extrely valuable!
Experts like Senior Hunters would normally carry out the highest-ranked quests, and they would discover the presence of Soul Seeds or demon beasts along the way. Even if they knew there was sothing valuable, they would not bother wasting their ti on it, but it was a waste to simply hold onto the information. Therefore, it made more sense to write down the information on a Secret Tipping Scroll, and sell it to others for so extra cash. anwhile, it would also benefit the lower-ranked Hunters who were interested in the piece of information, resulting in a win-win situation.
Therefore, the Secret Tipping Scrolls were indeed quite aningful!
“Why don’t you go and buy a few of them? I’ll have them give you a discount,” offered Zhao Manyan.
Since Mo Fan was also a Hunter, instead of spending his ti on the generic quests from the Hunter Union, he could try his luck through the Secret Tipping Scrolls instead.
“Alright, I’ll buy a few, how much does one cost?” asked Mo Fan.
“The price varies, the expensive ones can go up to ten million, while the cheap ones can go all the way down to a few thousand. Tell your range, and I’ll get a few for you,” said Zhao Manyan.
“Let’s try a few with a price around ten thousand,” Mo Fan was fairly rich for the ti being, so he decided to try his luck.
“Not a problem.”
After all, the marketplace was one of the Zhao Family’s property, thus Zhao Manyan did have so special rights here. He quickly got a few Secret Tipping Scrolls for Mo Fan.
The Secret Tipping Scrolls were quite elegant, since their target audience was Magicians, who spent a lot of money on luxuries. After all, a commoner would prefer to spend a few tens of thousand on a branded bag, instead of a piece of information which was not guaranteed to be reliable.
“Open them up yourself,” Zhao Manyan managed to get three Secret Tipping Scrolls. All of them were light blue in color, while those that were more costly were silver and gold!
The information provided by Senior Hunters was fairly reliable, so many people were willing to spend a huge sum of money on them.
Mo Fan opened the scrolls and read the contents.
” A Sword-Fin Ocean Demon has been spotted at Huangpu River. There is a higher chance to find it in April. ”
Zhao Manyan stuck his head closer and burst out laughing, “The Sword-Fin Ocean Demon is an infamous kind of demon beast living in the oceans. Their sword fins are sold with insane prices in the market. The sword fins are an important material to further improve the power of Deathstrike Magic Equipnt... The problem is, can we actually find it in Huangpu River? I thought most of them were residing sowhere deep in the Pacific Ocean.”
“Fishing? I’m not interested at all. Sigh, what a waste of money,” said Mo Fan pitifully.
“It’s fine, we still have two more,” said Zhao Manyan.
Mo Fan nodded and opened another Secret Tipping Scroll, and subconsciously read it out.
” North Burning Valley, there are signs of a new Fla Belle being born .”
“Damn, this is a valuable piece of information!” Zhao Manyan scread before Mo Fan could react.
“How is that?” asked Mo Fan.
“The North Burning Valley is a very famous Fire Elent region in our country, which is very close to Dunhuang. There, you can find a famous demon beast, a creature that is born with the fire of nature, an Elental Beast... The Fla Belle is considered the rarest among all Elental Beasts, its value is priceless on the market. However, if anyone were selling a Fla Belle’s youngling at an auction, I bet that every famous renowned clan in Shanghai would attend it!” said Zhao Manyan with excitent.
“That serious?” asked Mo Fan in shock.
“Sigh, are you illiterate... well, it’s hard to tell if the information is reliable or not,” said Zhao Manyan.
“That’s my Secret Tipping Scroll, what are you being so excited for?” said Mo Fan unpleasantly.
“F**k , are you seriously unaware of how special a demon beast like the Fla Belle is? Its strength is more than a few tis stronger than that of an ordinary beast... The Elental Beasts have been the dream Contracted Beasts for Summoners, and this Fla Belle is one of the best Elental Beasts you could ever find. Simply speaking, if you managed to get a Fla Belle as your Contracted Beast, you’re going to be famous! You can easily get into the top ten with the Fla Belle!” said Zhao Manyan.
Mo Fan could tell that this Fla Belle was indeed very powerful judging from Zhao Manyan’s reaction. The problem was, how did he know if the piece of information was reliable? Don’t tell him that he had to pay a visit to the area around Dunhuang City?
“I’m quite interested in this Fla Belle. Do you have any way to obtain more information about it?” Mo Fan asked quickly.
Mo Fan had heard of Elental Beasts before. If a Summoner could sign a contract with an Elental Beast, they would obtain a boost for the respective Elent too.
For example, since Mo Fan’s primary Elent was Fire, if he managed to get a Fla Belle as his Contracted Beast, his Fire Elent would either beco stronger, or have so special burning effect.
“Simple, spending lots of money... there are filtered Secret Tipping Scrolls that you can get, which are more expensive than the normal ones. If you bought all the ones related to the valley close to Dunhuang City, and if many of the tips are correlated to one another, the pieces of information might be stating the truth,” said Zhao Manyan.
“How much money would I be spending? This is only to get the information!” said Mo Fan speechlessly.
“It’s basically gambling. If you think the information is right, you should not just buy more of them, instead, you should buy all of them! Once you’ve proven that it’s real, you will have fewer competitors compared to the quests that were submitted to the Hunter Union. All you have to worry about is how you’re going to get it. In my opinion, this Fla Belle is perfect to be your Contracted Beast, since your Rose Fla is already extrely violent among the flas, and with the boost from your contract with the Fla Belle, your fla is going to be insane, pretty much unmatchable among flas that aren’t Soul-graded!”
As a matter of fact, Mo Fan was fairly intrigued.
Many students in the school had Fire Soul Seeds, thus his Rose Fla alone no longer granted him an edge. If he could further improve his Fire Elent with a Contracted Beast, it would be the perfect outco!
