Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan actually let out a sigh of relief when he came out of the building.

Lin Fan had no idea what would have happened earlier if Momonga hadn\'t pulled out the spirit stones. He had thought that it would be only five spirit stones for a single group, he never thought that it was five per person.

The Lin Family ancestor had only given him six spirit stones, five for the fee and one to spend on his first night in Harmony City.

If Momonga hadn\'t pulled out these ten spirit stones, there might have really been a problem.

Lin Fan turned to Momonga and said, "I\'ll pay you back."

Momonga just waved his hands as he casually said, "It\'s fine, it\'s nothing more than pocket change."

In fact, this was indeed just pocket change for Momonga.

Each realm that was above another had a different currency, so for Momonga, the currency used in this lower realm really was considered pocket change for him. It was such a small amount that he normally didn\'t have any in his Spatial Ring, but it was lucky that he kept some because he liked to always be prepared.

Not to mention that his Spatial Ring was quite large to begin with, so he was free to play around and put as much junk in there as he wanted.

Lin Fan had been with Momonga for some time, so he knew that there was no need to feel awkward around him. Lin Fan just gave Momonga a nod before turning to look at the map that the clerk had given him.

The clerk naturally wanted to repair the damage that he had done by offending Lin Fan, so he had given him this map which was the most detailed map that he had.

It was too bad that he didn\'t know that Lin Fan didn\'t care about him at all. He just thought that everything that had happened was normal procedure, so he had long forgotten about everything.

It was also because he didn\'t want to cause any trouble right now since he was new to this upper realm.

Before he could get his footing, it was best to act as lowkey as possible.

Too bad that he had drawn plenty of attention by paying with spirit stones.

The fact that he had paid with spirit stones couldn\'t be hidden and this was indeed a very rare event where three people in a group would be able to pay off their fees.

So without Lin Fan even knowing, there were already forces that were looking into him.

But Lin Fan didn\'t have time to care about that right now, what he needed to do first was to take care of his food, clothing, and shelter.

All he had to his name was nothing more than a single spirit stone and that wouldn\'t last him long.

While spirit stones were considered medium class currency, a single one wasn\'t considered much.

The upper realm also used crystals as their common currency, but Lin Fan didn\'t have much of those either.

It wasn\'t because he was lacking in crystals in the lower realm, rather it was because he had no way of bringing them up with him. There was a limit to his Spatial Ring and he was unable to bring everything that he had in the lower realm with him.

The Spatial Ring that he had right now only had a storage space of two square meters, which was barely enough to bring certain things that he wanted. Of course he couldn\'t stuff his Spatial Ring full of crystals.

Then there was the fact that the lower realm\'s financial system wasn\'t linked to the upper realm\'s. The lower realm naturally wanted to link them, but the upper realm didn\'t want to spend this effort, so it was never done.

This meant that all the crystals that Lin Fan had stored in the lower realm financial system were stuck there. He would be unable to access them at all.

So the first thing he needed to do now was earn more money.

While he wasn\'t completely poor because he still had some crystals in his Spatial Ring, this didn\'t mean that he had enough to do what he wanted to do.

The key to Lin Fan\'s power was his pet shop, so the first thing he had to do was naturally set up his pet shop in the upper realm. Not to mention that this was also his next mission from the system.

"Host, please open a store in the Galactic Humanity Alliance within a month."

"Rewards: ???"

This was one of the simplest missions that the system had given him, but Lin Fan was fine with it. However, what surprised him was that the system didn\'t tell him what the reward was or give any notice of a punishment for failing.

Perhaps it knew now that Lin Fan was looking forward to the missions that it didn\'t need to use this carrot and stick method anymore…

After all, Lin Fan\'s strength depended on the system and there was something important that he had to do now, so he wanted to become as strong as possible…

But what could Lin Fan do in this city to earn money right now?

This city that he had just arrived in was called Harmony City, it was a city that was built by all twelve factions of the Galactic Humanity Alliance. On the surface, this city was built together by them to promote harmony among the humans, but in truth, this city was made just for the various factions to compete against each other.

Because of that, the prices in Harmony City were much higher than other places and that was why plenty of people were willing to live here.

As long as you had a good product and you were willing to sell, you could earn enough to live several lives from the fighting of the various factions.

Factions cared quite a bit about their reputation and they weren\'t afraid to pay for it. So if there was something that was competed for by two factions, there would usually be an auction for it.

Anything that can catch the eyes of two of the twelve factions definitely wasn\'t a normal thing, so that was also a big advertisement for that shop.

Of course, there were also downsides to living here.

One of the biggest downsides was that you could lose your life at any moment.

Not all competition between the various factions were open competition, there were plenty of fights that happened under the surface of the city. If one was caught in any of those fights, it was hard to guarantee that they would be able to keep their lives.

So that was why Harmony City was considered the safest city and also the most dangerous city. But for the money that they could make, there were still plenty of people that came.

Lin Fan had his specialties, but without being able to open up a shop first, there was no chance that he would be able to get any customers.

As he walked around the city, learning the layout of it, he found that there weren\'t any stalls that were in the streets at all.

After asking around, he had learned that the twelve factions wanted to make their city look prosperous, so they eliminated things like stalls. If a person was ever caught setting up a stall, they would be taken away to the correctional facility and normally they were never seen again.

The safest way to earn money was definitely to buy and open a shop, but these shops weren\'t cheap.

The upper realm factions weren\'t just taking in lower realm experts, they were also raking in the money by charging rent. Or to put it more bluntly, they were charging protection fees for the people who opened a shop.

So while shops were a good way to earn money, they also bled one dry if one\'s business wasn\'t good.

In the end, Lin Fan only had a single word to describe the twelve factions: Greedy.

But this was their territory and there was nothing he could do.

For now, he would have to find another way to earn money.

The next best way to earn money after opening a shop was becoming a Seeker or rather, becoming a Hunter.

The Seekers Guild was the same as the lower realm, they were a group that organized people who were willing to do missions for people for money, but the Hunters were different.

The Hunters were the ones that ran the Seekers Guild and the Seekers Guild was actually just a place filled with people that failed to become Hunters.

The Hunter Organization was a place that only accepted the elite of elites and they were all people that desired something.

A Hunter was like the name implied, it was someone who hunted something.

To be accepted into the Hunter Organization, all one had to do was want to hunt something, be it food, materials, art, or even diseases.

It was a place filled with strange people, but they couldn\'t be underestimated because every single one of them was an expert.

Only the most powerful people could successfully hunt their prey, which was why the Hunters Organization only gathered the most elite people.

The Hunters Organization was the dream of everyone since not only did they have experts, they also had influence. After all, the Hunters Organization was also one of the twelve factions and the faction that ran the Seekers Guild down on the Blue Star Planet.

It was also the organization that Lin Fan wanted to join to earn as much money as possible.
