Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

"Don't worry, and besides, I don't think they necessarily only like the resources of the Flame Dragon Empire." He paused, moved slightly closer to Dongfang Yu, and continued in a low voice, just loud enough for the two of them to hear:

"Ayu, do you think there's anything that our planet can't sustain?"

Mo Li's words gave Dongfang Yu a feeling of seeing the clear sky after the clouds had parted: "Indeed, it was something I hadn't thought of for a moment. Then let's sell them to the kids as gifts."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, A-Yu, to go and buy it."

Dongfang Yu bought ten beast eggs at once, and the shopkeeper smiled and said:

"Guest, you have excellent taste. The ten eggs you chose are of very high quality. I believe they will definitely hatch into S-class battle beasts."

Mo Li's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of two eggs placed in a corner, dusty and dark, seemingly devoid of any light, as if they had stopped hatching. She pointed at them:

"Boss, are those two eggs for sale too?"

The stall owner looked in the direction she was pointing, and instantly his expression changed slightly, turning to the person beside him with some displeasure:

"What exactly happened? How come these two eggs are mixed in with the eggs for sale? Don't you know they are two dead eggs? Won't this directly affect the reputation of our stall?"

"I'm sorry, boss, it was an accident. I was too busy to notice at the time, so I didn't pay attention. I'll handle it right away."

"How are you going to handle this? Throw it in the trash right now, so this doesn't happen again."

Mo Li spoke up to stop them: "Boss, since you don't want it anymore, why don't you give it to me?"

The shopkeeper asked, somewhat puzzled, "Sir, why would you want this?"

"I think they look quite different from the other eggs; they're a little special."

The boss said, “Sir, you don’t know this. It’s not that they are special. It’s because they are two eggs that have completely lost their vitality and have been judged as dead eggs. Even if they had some vitality before, the eggs that would have hatched would only be the lowest grade, D.”

"Because only D-grade battle beast eggs will have this grayish-black appearance after they have completely become dead eggs."

"I see. Boss, since you don't want it anymore, giving it to me is just a small favor. Consider it a free gift."

"Oh, that's too kind of you. If customers want a free gift, we still have some on hand..."

"No need, I think these two eggs are fine."

Seeing that Mo Li insisted, the stall owner had no choice but to turn to his people and say, "Since the customer has made such a request, you can pack it up along with the other ten eggs."

"No, what is she thinking? Those two eggs are dead eggs as long as anyone can see them. What's the point of having them? They're completely useless. She's just letting them rot in her hands."

"Hehe, you didn't see the expression on the boss's face just now. It was really something. You could tell at a glance that he wouldn't even give this egg as a free gift."

"Could it be that those two eggs are really special, and we just haven't discovered them? Maybe they really do have a glimmer of life left behind?"

"Come on, I just checked it, there's no energy at all, it's definitely dead."

Mo Li overheard their conversation, and her eyes involuntarily flickered. "Damn it?"

How could that be? Would she be the kind of person to buy dead eggs? It's only because her superpower level is too high that she was able to detect the true state of the two eggs and the extremely special energy contained within them.

In fact, the two eggs were not dead, but rather they had fallen into a dormant state to protect themselves because the external energy supply was insufficient.

As for that extremely special energy, she will need to explore it slowly in the future.

In short, she could sense that the value of these two eggs was definitely no less than that of the ten eggs she had bought.

"Let's go, we've finished browsing this stall, and we've had a very fruitful trip."

Before reaching the next stall, Mo Li looked up at Dongfang Yu and smiled:

"Ah Yu, aren't you curious why I gave away two of those 'dead eggs' as a free gift?"

Dongfang Yu smiled gently: "I believe Ali must have a reason for buying it. Would you mind telling me?"

"They're alive. As for the others, we'll find out when they hatch. For now, let's keep them as a surprise."

"it is good."

"Let's go check out the other stalls. I have to say, I'm actually looking forward to it."

At each of the several stalls, Mo Li and Dongfang Yu were just like spectators, merely looking around. Nothing really caught their eye, even though each item was quite rare in the eyes of others.

Don't let the name "market" fool you; as the opening event of the annual exchange meeting of the five great empires, this place is of great significance. Each stall was selected from different empires over the past year.

Every item they sell is registered; unless it's a rare or exotic item, it's not permitted to be sold.

So many people are waiting to come to Taobao.

"Ayu, you don't always have to worry about me. If there's something you like, just buy it."

"Not for now. With Ali as my personal treasure trove, most of the items I see seem rather ordinary in comparison. Besides, I don't have Ali's unique eye for appraising treasures, so I'll just accompany you like this."

"Okay then, I'll let you know if I see anything that suits you."

As they strolled and chatted, they stopped in front of a new stall. Mo Li glanced at it, her expression momentarily pausing before she turned to look at Dongfang Yu:

"Ah Yu, aren't interstellar plants supposed to be rare? How come there are so many at this stall? And each one looks like it's nearly a thousand years old."

Yes!

The stall they saw had every plant encased in transparent, hard stone, but they hadn't lost their vitality; on the contrary, they were thriving.

Even through the stone, Mo Li could feel the overwhelming energy without using his mental power to probe.

magical!

It's really amazing!

It looked a lot like the fossils she had seen before she traveled through time, except that the plants inside the fossils in front of her were alive.

"Plant fossils are extremely rare and unique to the Roman Empire. They appear to be very valuable and all of them are alive."

In fact, once the stone encasing it is broken down, there is only a very small chance that it will come into contact with the air and the various substances in the air, allowing it to retain its original form and survive for anywhere from a week to a year, rather than turning directly into dust.

"Huh? So it seems this is just like buying the beast eggs before, a gamble based on probability?"

"Yes, it's about gambling on probabilities, and..."
