Saturday, a rare moment of leisure, the week's exhaustion led Lin Guang and Vishdair to sleep until eight in the morning before getting up. Lin Guang was too lazy to cook, so he took her out to a roadside dim sum shop.

Apart from dim sum for humans, Spirit Beasts don't have to worry about being underfed, as there are high-energy materials prepared specifically for them.

"There's too little meat, not satisfying enough."

As the eighth plate of double egg sausage was placed into the steamer, Vishdair smacked her lips, giving such an evaluation.

"It's meant for you to experience different foods. If you want meat, I'll take you to a self-service barbecue in the afternoon."

"Is there such a place?"

Just then, the dim sum was served, and Vishdair, while somewhat clumsily using chopsticks to pick up a piece of dim sum, spoke with animation, "Don't worry, I'll definitely eat my money's worth!"

"Don't make bold claims. The charges aren't just based on body size, but also on Spirit Beast level and potential."

Ten minutes later, Vishdair tossed aside her chopsticks, letting out a large burp without any grace. Lin Guang glanced at her and pointed to his own mouth, realizing Vishdair hadn't caught on, he then pulled a napkin from the table and handed it to her mouth corner.

Taking the napkin and wiping her mouth casually, Vishdair asked, "Where are we going today?"

"The city Spirit Beast Mall, need to buy some materials for the White Phoenix Parrot, then some books related to Spirit Beasts, and see if there are any skills suitable for you."

Lin Guang stood up to pay the bill, and when he returned, he saw Vishdair turning her head, seeming to look around at something with an expression somewhat serious.

"What's wrong?"

"Something's observing closely." Vishdair slightly frowned, her right hand fingers loosely clenched as if ready to grab onto something, "Can't sense the source of the gaze... but I don't seem to perceive any malice from it."

"No malice is good, perhaps some high-star Spirit Master or Spirit Beast's spiritual power locked onto you, finding you rare, taking a couple more looks."

"If you sense malice, let me know immediately, I'll call the police."

Pausing, Lin Guang said seriously, "But Great Xia is basically the safest country in the world now, so you can relax some more."

"…"

Silent, Vishdair turned her head, scanning the streets, the lounge chairs under the Golden Birch Tree where several elderly men exposed their bellies, enjoying a sunbath created by the Plant Spirit Beast "Sunny Day", the street pedestrians look relaxed and leisurely, not a hint of urgency or anxiety, in the near distance parked a long vehicle blue and white, she remembered the "Sheriffs" of this world standing guard inside.

Watching, Vishdair's expression finally eased.

"What a peculiar world, so many strong beings yet unexpectedly peaceful." She murmured softly.

"The restless ones have all gone to explore the Wilderness, the city naturally calms down."

…

"She sensed you?"

Hu Tuzhi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, somewhat incredulous as he looked at his Spirit Beast, the Shadow Crow. Its skill "Shadow Stealth" could move between shadows and also carried a slight spiritual suggestion, even those aware of its presence might not necessarily sense it.

"Caw!" The Shadow Crow cried with some grievance, indicating it had not been lazy.

"Is the sensing ability of Terran Demons that sharp?" Hu Tuzhi seemed a bit contemplative, slightly shaking his head, "Yet, having a contract with demons... who knows how long he can hold out."

"Caw caw caw."

The Shadow Crow cawed a few more times, lightly tugging at Hu Tuzhi's coat, with some urging in its tone.

Suddenly realizing, Hu Tuzhi's usually stern face showed a hint of urgency: "Right, need to move first, must create a chance encounter."

…

The city Spirit Beast Mall, located near the suburbs of Mingguang District, serves as the terminal for many express buses.

An hour later, Lin Guang and Vishdair arrived at the city Spirit Beast Mall... the adjacent street.

No choice, for it's the weekend, the two got up relatively late, the entrance of the mall was already crowded, many large-sized riding Spirit Beasts were waiting for instructions to move into the resting area (beast parking), presumably it was already packed inside.

Due to the mall being government-backed, the quality of goods is quite assured, unlike other shops which reserve the best for familiar big clients, the official chooses and mixes medium-high-quality goods to sell, contributing to such grand circumstances.

Lin Guang pondered, then decided to stroll the neighboring Guangming Pedestrian Street first.

Guangming Pedestrian Street mainly features the tertiary industry, essentially services like restaurants, massage parlors, training halls, and amusement facilities.

Although called a street, by the scale of this world it has at least two or three football fields in size, with a not small square in the center where many people set up stalls.

Lin Guang initially planned to take Vishdair to the training hall to bash up some kids, earning progress on the Star Shards bar, only to spot an interesting project at a corner of the square along the way.

It was a small sandy beach somewhat out of place amid surrounding concrete, on which lay a massive turtle Spirit Beast, about the size of a small car, a red carpet extending off into the distance leading to a shop full of floral baskets "Youji Turtle Soup."

What kind of turtle diary... Lin Guang muttered in his heart.

"Take a look, take a look! New store opening! Hundred Egg Turtle laying eggs! Spend over 1000 Daxia Coins in-store and play once, consolation prize 100 Daxia Coins, third prize 500, second prize 2000, first prize five thousand, grand prize thirty thousand!"

Under the stall owner's hawking, the giant turtle began crawling while laying eggs, one by one turtle eggs falling onto the sand later almost covering the little beach.

"What's the meaning?" Vishdair nudged Lin Guang's arm, asking somewhat excitedly, looking like she wanted to taste the turtle eggs.

"This turtle is called the Hundred Egg Turtle, as the name suggests, it can easily lay over a hundred turtle eggs. But among them only a small portion are genuine eggs, the rest are hollow shells with the shell covered by Earth Attribute Ether, so you can't distinguish by weight."

Vishdair raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "What's the purpose of doing this?"

Lin Guang explained: "The speed of a Hundred Egg Turtle isn't fast, when faced with predators it lays eggs to escape. The numerous eggs can bewilder enemies, providing enough time for the turtle to flee. By the time predators find out most of the eggs are hollow, it's already long gone."

Scratching the horn on her head, Vishdair wondered: "A trick like this only works once, wouldn't Spirit Beasts be foolish to fall for it repeatedly? Isn't it said the Spirit Beasts of this world aren't average animals, possessing higher intelligence?"
