Chapter 203: Let’s Go Earn Points
“Why is the pattern on this card glasses instead of an eye?”
Dr. Bai complained with some dissatisfaction.
Song Tiantian felt that Dr. Bai made sense. The eye pattern looked more sophisticated than the glasses pattern, but she hadn’t thought of it at the time.
“Then I’ll take it back and remake it. I thought you usually like to wear glasses, so I assumed you’d really like a glasses pattern!”
Song Tiantian said, reaching to pull the card from Dr. Bai’s hand.
But Dr. Bai held the card tightly.
Song Tiantian couldn’t pull it out.
“The glasses pattern is fine too! A large quantity of energy stones should be exchangeable for points, right? The Pet Beast Center doesn’t have that many energy stones, does it? There must be quite a few people exchanging energy stones lately. I know, middlemen need to make a profit! I’ll let you make a profit.”
Dr. Bai observed that most people, upon obtaining points, would immediately exchange them for energy stones and beast food.
Beast food has an expiration date, but energy stones do not; they can be stored for a long time.
Points currently do not support transfers, only the exchange for supplies and purchases at the supermarket.
Furthermore, the public had just recently experienced the situation of electronic currency becoming invalid.
Regarding things like points, everyone didn’t have much confidence in them.
Points are precious, and everyone acknowledges their value, but they trust energy stones more because energy stones can be exchanged for money anywhere. Whether from a practical standpoint or any other aspect, energy stones are more reliable than points.
If Song Tiantian hadn’t set it up so that energy stones couldn’t be exchanged for points, the status of energy stones in the Pet Beast Center would likely be even more precious.
Dr. Bai also understood the reason behind Song Tiantian’s actions.
If energy stones could be exchanged for points, then the supplies at the Pet Beast Center would definitely be insufficient.
For example, people like Song Ruyu, who possess a large quantity of energy stones, could essentially empty out the Pet Beast Center’s supplies.
At that time, with a shortage of supplies, people’s morale would likely become even more unstable, and the entire Pet Beast Center would be in a state of panic.
However, Dr. Bai still hoped Song Tiantian would grant him some special privilege.
“Alright! Only you can exchange points! No one else can, and don’t tell anyone.”
Song Tiantian nodded. The Pet Beast Center indeed didn’t have many energy stones.
Exchanging some for Dr. Bai was acceptable, after all, Dr. Bai had contributed to the Pet Beast Center.
It was just that Song Tiantian hadn’t expected Dr. Bai to be quite so well-off.
He had so many energy stones.
“Tiantian, can you grant me and that stinky crow some privileges? Let us go further to earn points. We have spatial equipment, so we can help you bring back those Fierce Beast corpses and won’t let you incur a loss.”
Bai Lian took the opportunity to say to Song Tiantian.
Bai Lian didn’t want to earn points at the city gate because there were too many people there. Now, there was no need to worry about Beast Tides.
The people at the city gate now felt that the Fierce Beasts attacking daily were too few.
Bai Lian also felt there were too few Fierce Beasts.
Supreme-level Beast Food was worth such a high price. Bai Lian didn’t expect Song Tiantian to lower the price or give a discount; it felt unworthy of such Beast Food if the price was lowered. It only thought about how to earn points to buy such Advanced Level Beast Food.
“Okay, but not too far, only within a hundred kilometers outside the Pet Beast Center. And can you help me capture some Pet Beasts that haven’t gone into Rampage? Many people want to become Beast Tamers now, but all the Pet Beasts are sold out.
If we get a batch, they can be purchased with energy stones and points, and they will definitely sell well. I’ll give you double points for live ones.”
Song Tiantian readily agreed.
The System had long said it could expand far, so there was no need to keep everyone confined to the city gate.
However, Song Tiantian had only allowed the System to upgrade to two kilometers from the city gate.
The reason was simple: if it spread too far, no one would guard the city gate anymore, and everyone would run out to earn points.
More importantly, if they killed Fierce Beasts outside, there would be no Fierce Beast corpses, and she wouldn’t make money. Instead, she’d have to pay out, and in the long run, she’d go bankrupt.
Song Tiantian looked at the System’s employee interface, and seeing the points of those point big shots made her feel pressured.
Song Ruyu: 102834 points
Ping Xiuwen: 39487 points
Yang Junhui: 27784 points
·····
Elder Huang’s points were quite a lot before, but they were wasted by Huang Xiaohua.
Even from a distance, Song Tiantian could hear Elder Huang’s wails.
The Elder, at his age, had worked hard to earn so many points over a long period.
And now they were gone.
How could the Elder not be heartbroken?
Song Tiantian didn’t know how Song Ruyu earned her points; she was so good at earning them, to have accumulated so many.
Since energy stones couldn’t be exchanged for points, these points could only be earned through hard work.
She initially thought Song Ruyu, being from a Noble Family, couldn’t endure hardship, but she turned out to be exceptionally capable.
Out of curiosity, Song Tiantian even observed Song Ruyu to see if she had used any cheating methods.
With so many points, even cutting straw would be exhausting.
Let alone hunting Fierce Beasts.
Later, Song Tiantian discovered that Song Ruyu had indeed cheated, but it was a reasonable and legal form of cheating.
Song Ruyu used energy stones to bribe a group of people to specifically collect Fierce Beast corpses for her.
Because earning points involved not only hunting Fierce Beasts but also handing in their corpses.
Song Ruyu found Song Tiantian’s loophole, and with the power of money, Song Ruyu successfully obtained such a massive amount of points.
Song Tiantian truly admired Song Ruyu.
However, she wanted to trick Song Ruyu out of her points even more.
If she didn’t trick Song Ruyu out of her points, she would buy out all the basic supplies at the Pet Beast Center.
She had to specifically create some luxury items. The Supreme Five-Star Beast Food she had created earlier was targeted at Song Ruyu.
Song Ruyu originally always liked buying Cold Fragrance Number Three, but now she didn’t like it much and only liked buying expensive Beast Food.
Song Tiantian felt she needed to create even more expensive items.
She could create a series of Extreme Dao Super Supreme Five-Star Beast Food and Extreme Dao Super Invincible Supreme Five-Star Beast Food.
And what Bai Lian wanted also needed to be kept up with.
Otherwise, Bai Lian would have nowhere to spend points when she wanted to.
The stronger one’s Strength, the greater their ability to earn points.
Song Tiantian felt she could offer another opportunity to earn points: live capture of intelligent Pet Beasts and bring them back to the Pet Beast Center for double points.
Recently, there weren’t many Fierce Beasts attacking the Pet Beast Center. Song Tiantian could even see the color of the ground stained with blood near the city gate, which she couldn’t see before. Previously, there were dense crowds of Fierce Beasts under the city wall.
When the Beast Tide recedes, if these people still want to earn points, they will have to go to the Wilderness.
Earning points at the city gate will become difficult because Fierce Beasts will no longer attack the Pet Beast Center.
