GLOBAL BEAST MASTERY: ONLY I CAN SEE THE HINTS

The person who had turned to walk back to their seat immediately stopped, quickly turned around, and focused their gaze on Charles. They hastily asked, “Could you specify what kind of orange quality ice attribute alchemy material you have?”

Just as Charles was about to respond, someone suddenly called out, “Wait, I also want that [Wind Dew]. Coincidentally, I have some orange quality ice attribute alchemy materials as well.”

“And it’s a rather rare [Emerald Wave Grass], which is worth much more than typical orange quality alchemy materials. It’s a perfect match to exchange for your [Wind Dew].”

The person who spoke was none other than the ever smiling Calista. He turned his gaze to Charles with a warm smile and said in an apologetic tone, “Charles, sorry about this, but this is exactly what I need. I don’t want to compete with you, but there’s nothing I can do. Don’t take it to heart, okay?”

Calista had expected Charles to show some annoyance or anger on his face, but to his surprise, after he finished speaking, Charles remained calm, his expression puzzled and confused as if trying to understand why Calista was doing this.

Calista took a deep breath. His smile remained unchanged, but in his mind, he was fuming, thinking, “A level four Beast Master, and yet I have to go out of my way to flatter Isolde, personally taking you to meet the legendary blacksmith giant Bellamy.”

“I couldn’t even finish my sentence, and Isolde rejected me outright!”

“Damn that giant! I didn’t even say anything, and he just threw me out!”

“He even called Charles his friend! Damn it, he’s just a level four Beast Master, and yet I, the genius from Central City, can’t compare to him!”

Despite feeling extremely displeased with Charles, Calista maintained his warm smile, his expression flawless.

Under his gaze, Charles calmly spoke up, “I was just a bit curious. Earlier, I deliberately waited before speaking out, seeing no one else was interested in the [Wind Dew]. Only then did I offer to trade. Did you have the same thought as me?”

Calista chuckled and nodded, replying casually, “Of course. I didn’t expect us to think alike, but my [Emerald Wave Grass] is one of the rarer orange quality ice attribute alchemy materials, you know.”

Calista was confident that anyone would naturally choose the more valuable item. Typically, regular orange quality ice attribute alchemy materials wouldn’t compare to [Emerald Wave Grass].

As long as the person holding the [Wind Dew] wasn’t foolish, they would surely prefer the [Emerald Wave Grass]. If Charles decided to offer something of higher value, that would serve his purpose of making Charles waste more resources after all, Calista was still displeased with Charles.

“Oh, really?” Charles raised an eyebrow and glanced at Calista before turning to the person holding the [Ice Spirit Flower] and saying, “Sir, I have a rarer orange quality ice attribute alchemy material. Would you like to take a look?”

“More rare? [Emerald Wave Grass] is already quite rare, what could be a rarer orange quality ice attribute alchemy material than [Emerald Wave Grass]?” Calista asked, his tone filled with curiosity.

Charles didn’t respond to him. Instead, he reached into his [Jet Ring] and pulled out a single [Ice Spirit Flower], instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.

Many people wore expressions of confusion, unable to identify what alchemy material it was.

However, there were some knowledgeable individuals among the crowd who immediately recognized it and spoke up, “Could this be [Ice Spirit Flower]? The [Ice Spirit Flower] that only appears in environments where extreme cold and extreme heat coexist?”

The person holding the [Wind Dew] was even more direct. He quickly walked over, handing the [Wind Dew] to Charles and said eagerly, “Here, the [Wind Dew] is yours now. [Ice Spirit Flower] is more suited to me. I can use it to refine [Spirit Ice Liquid], the complete version of [Spirit Ice Liquid]!”

As he spoke, his voice was filled with excitement, clearly not expecting this situation. Originally, he thought no one would be interested in making an exchange, but now he had unexpectedly received a pleasant surprise.

As for Calista’s [Emerald Wave Grass], he had completely forgotten about it. It was clear to anyone that [Ice Spirit Flower] was the better choice over [Emerald Wave Grass]!

Calista’s expression stiffened for a moment as he watched the scene unfold, but quickly recovered. He was about to speak up, suggesting he offer two [Emerald Wave Grass], when he noticed a hint of amusement in Charles’ eyes.

“No way, if I speak up now, Charles will definitely give up. I know how rare the [Ice Spirit Flower] is he won’t have a second one!”

“Forget it, I’ve already succeeded in making him waste some resources. My goal has been achieved!” Calista took a deep breath, analyzing the situation in his mind.

Soon enough, under Calista’s watchful gaze, Charles successfully completed the exchange for the [Wind Dew].

However, what Calista didn’t expect was that after Charles obtained the [Wind Dew], a look of relief appeared on his face, and he slowly said, “I’m glad you didn’t continue competing, or else I would have had to pull out a second [Ice Ling Grass].”

“This [Wind Dew] is very important to me; my mystical beast’s promotion depends on it.”

This time, Calista was completely stunned. He recalled the faint trace of amusement in Charles’ eyes earlier, and his brain began to race. Only then did he realize that Charles had done it on purpose!

He had intentionally made Calista think Charles would give up. He had figured out that Calista only wanted to compete and didn’t actually need the [Wind Dew], so Charles wouldn’t waste many resources on it.

“[Ice Ling Grass] is so rare, how could you possibly have a second one? Most people only find it by sheer luck in environments where it grows. You can’t possibly have another one!” Calista said to Charles.

Without a word, Charles reached into his [Jet Ring] again and casually pulled out a few more [Ice Ling Grass], displaying them without hesitation.

This time, Calista had nothing more to say. All his plans had been predicted by Charles, and he was successfully intimidated into backing off!

Instantly, a feeling of humiliation surged within Calista. After all, he was ranked sixth on the Central City [Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies]. He was a genius Beast Master, the center of attention, yet he had been outmaneuvered by a mere level four Beast Master without even showing any emotion!

“It’s fine, it’s fine. At first, Charles must have planned to trade for the [Wind Dew] with other materials. I made him waste some resources, so it’s not a loss for me,” Calista reassured himself in his mind.

However, Charles wasn’t going to let Calista off so easily. Since Calista had competed with him for items, Charles could certainly compete with him as well!

During the rest of the auction, Charles began observing Calista’s facial expressions, gestures, and micro expressions, accurately guessing what Calista wanted and then starting to propose exchanges.

Charles had a keen sense of Calista’s psychological limits, making Calista reluctantly add many more things to his offers!

What if Calista decided to give up? Charles didn’t mind. He already had a lot of items, and with the bracelet Ezra had given him, his wealth had only increased. Seeing Calista dig his own grave felt like a worthwhile endeavor to Charles.

“Your approach earlier was impressive. It seems I overestimated the geniuses on the [Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies], and underestimated you,” Ezra slowly spoke on the way back, his voice calm. As a level nine Beast Master, he understood everything that had happened at the auction.

In his eyes, Calista, who had once seemed like a genius, now appeared like a child in front of Charles every move he made looked foolish.

In the world of Beast Masters, strength was important, but intelligence was just as crucial. Many powerful Beast Masters had been outplayed by others and ended up with miserable outcomes.

Charles’ intelligence and calmness were what Ezra appreciated the most.

“Sometimes, I really feel like you’re not a teenager. You seem more like someone who has been through a lot of refinement,” Ezra said, impressed.

Charles didn’t know how to respond. It wasn’t that he was overly clever, but it seemed like Calista hadn’t had much real world experience. Though he knew how to disguise himself, he was still quite naïve.

Description: This is a juvenile [Wind Falcon]. Feeding it plenty of meat will speed up its growth. Due to its genetics, it has a particular liking for alcohol.

In the hotel’s training room, Charles looked at the information about Mia before exhaling a deep breath. Finally, the last mystical beast was about to complete its promotion.

“By the way, I still haven’t given Mia the fine wine I bought in the City of Harmony. I’ve been too busy these days, but I’ll save it for when Mia completes the promotion as a celebration,” Charles thought to himself.

Mia’s unusual love for alcohol was truly unique.

“Master, master, it’s finally my turn! I can’t wait any longer!” Mia’s voice rang out in Charles’ mind.

Charles nodded and replied, “Get ready. After your promotion is successful, I have a very fine bottle of wine for you.”

Hearing Charles’ words, Mia immediately lifted her head, looking at him with eager anticipation.

In the next moment, Charles took out the [Wind Dew] he had just obtained and tossed it to Mia. As soon as the [Wind Dew] touched Mia’s body, it transformed into a swirl of green mist, emitting a faint green glow.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in front of Charles regarding Mia’s evolution route:

“Your mystical beast Mia is in the process of promotion. Please select an evolution route!”
