Invincible Divine Dragon's Cultivation System - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“The most expensive Koi carp is worth 150,000 dollars while the most expensive arowana will cost about 100,000 dollars . ”

Wang Xian was observing the ornamental fish in the aquarium store . The two most expensive fish cost only about a few hundred thousand in this shop .

He looked at the fish and realized that most of them were at Level 0 . Only the arowanas and the Koi carps possessed slightly more Dragon Energy .

But those arowanas and the Koi carps in the fish tanks were indeed beautiful .

The scales on the arowanas were glittering, and they had prominent foreheads with long whiskers .

Bright and colorful patterns were all over the bodies of the Koi carps . As they swam in the tank, they looked as though they were living pieces of art .

“Hey, pretty, your arowanas and Koi carps are quite expensive . ”

Wang Xian smiled to the salesgirl beside him as he struck up a conversation .

“Do you think this is expensive? You must have not seen those Koi carps and arowanas that cost millions of dollars . Our price is considered to be at the mid-range,” said the salesgirl smilingly .

Wang Xian listened to her reply and asked immediately, “Pretty, how do you differentiate a good Koi carp and arowana?”

“Red arowanas are the most valuable breed among the arowanas while Chilli Red Arowanas are the most precious breed among red arowanas . Koi carps are more expensive, in particular, from the island countries . Those that are larger in size with bright colors are worth a few million dollars . ” The salesgirl explained to him smilingly .

Wang Xian pondered as he nodded . He asked, “If I want to buy Koi carps and arowanas that cost a few million dollars, where can I get them in the Rivertown?”

“Koi carps and arowanas that cost a few million dollars? You can check out the Flowers and Birds Market of the Oceantown . But a few million dollars of Koi carps and arowanas are not common . Moreover, not many people will purchase such expensive ornamental fish . Those that cost a few hundred thousand are for sale though . ” The pretty salesgirl continued .

“Okay, thank you . ” Wang Xian nodded with a smile . He pulled out his phone and did a simple search .

“Just like what the salesgirl said, Koi carps and arowanas that cost a few million are uncommon and not easy to sell . But people would buy a few hundred thousand dollar ones . ”

Wang Xian ran through his thoughts . He smiled at the salesgirl and left .

It’s just noon . Let’s check out the Flowers and Birds Market .

After Wang Xian walked out of the aquarium store, he headed to the Flowers and Birds Market by cab .

The Flowers and Birds Market was situated at the East Ocean district of the Rivertown, and it was not far for him .

After a 20-minute drive, the car stopped at the entrance of the Flowers and Birds Market .

The Flowers and Birds Market of Rivertown was a more substantial market since many wealthy people resided in Rivertown, because it was one of the top second-tier cities .

Wang Xian went into the market . He followed the signs and strolled towards the fish viewing area .

On the way, he saw a pet shop selling pet dogs for fifty thousand dollars .

“A pet dog can be kept for dozens of years, but a Koi carp or an arowana can be kept for one’s entire life . There’s a reason for the hefty price tag on the ornamental fish . ”

The Flowers and Birds Market was well-maintained with wide and clean pedestrian roads . There were stores on each side of the road .

Due to the rain today, there was not much human traffic . Wang Xian went to the fish viewing area and began to skim through the individual aquarium stores .

“There will be a two-day Goldfish Fair starting tomorrow . It will attract many local people and those from other cities . The exhibition will bring a large amount of human traffic . So, let’s do a proper clean-up today . ”

“Goldfish Fair? Is it the exhibition jointly organized by the Jinhua Goldfish Farm, Longlian Goldfish Farm, and other large-scale goldfish farms?”

“That’s right . The exhibition organized by these goldfish farms will attract many customers . After all, these goldfish farms are among the market’s top list . ”

“I wonder what kind of goldfish they will be exhibiting tomorrow . Will there be rare goldfish like Redcap Brown Oranda?”

“Hard to say . But given the resources of those goldfish farms, there might be Redcap Brown Oranda . ”

When Wang Xian walked into one of the aquarium stores, he overheard the conversation in the shop .

He was stupefied for a moment . “Goldfish?”

Goldfish was the most commonly seen ornamental fish breed . Even though they were common, rare breeds could fetch up to hundreds of thousands of dollars . The Redcap Brown Oranda they mentioned could sell for three to four hundred thousand dollars . It was known as the most expensive goldfish in the world .

“If there is a Goldfish Fair tomorrow…” He raised his eyebrows and looked at some of the goldfish in the store with an idea . “Give me some goldfish, Boss . ”

“What kind of goldfish do you want? The goldfish that I have are premier grades, incomparable to those goldfish stalls from the flea markets . ” The middle-aged storeowner chuckled as he spoke after hearing Wang Xian .

“Okay . ” Wang Xian nodded and observed the goldfish in his store . He realized that the goldfish here were indeed costly . Some cost forty to fifty dollars each while others cost a few hundred dollars each .

“Boss, give me two of this, three of this and three of that . ” Wang Xian observed the colors on some of the goldfish as he spoke .

“Sure . Four fifty, please . Pal, I’ll give you a fishbowl for free . ” The store owner put up a smiling face while speaking to him .

“Thank you . ” Wang Xiang smiled and handed the money to the store owner .

“It’s quite expensive, but I would reap profits thousandfold if I succeed . ”

Radiance flickered in Wang Xian’s eyes as he lugged eight goldfish out of the door .

He took a cab and headed back to school . On the way, Wang Xian researched a lot of information on goldfish .

After doing research for the entire afternoon, he realized that Koi carps had the highest value, followed by arowanas . Wang Xian wanted to improvise some arowanas for sale . But the Goldfish Fair spoiled his plan .

Even though arowanas had a high value, it was more than ten times bigger in size than the goldfish . Hence, the consumption of the Dragon Energy would be high . His current level of Dragon Energy was still quite low . Besides, the value of the goldfish was not bad either .

Tomorrow is the Goldfish Fair . There must be buyers . I can use my Dragon Energy to upgrade a few goldfish that are of high worth .

Wang Xian thought to himself as he hugged the goldfish under the umbrella and headed towards the dormitory .

The rain was still as heavy as before, and there were only a few students in the school compound .

That…seems to be him . As she entered the school gate, Guan Shuqing was holding onto an umbrella when she saw the figure who was pacing briskly pass her .

She stared at his umbrella and the clothes he was wearing with radiance flickering in her eyes .

Guan Shuqing hesitated, but she quickly caught up and called out, “Hey, you . ”

“Huh?” Wang Xian looked back in complete bewilderment when he heard a voice from behind .

It’s really him . Guan Shuqing recognized Wang Xian’s face with an astonishing expression on her face .

“It’s really you . Thank you for your help today,” Guan Shuqing walked over and said gratefully .

“Guan Shuqing?” Wang Xian was slightly stunned, but he nodded with a smile .

“Do you know me?” asked Guan Shuqing, surprised when he called out her name .

“How could I not know the renowned beauty of Class of 2020?” Wang Xian looked at her and chuckled .
