Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 46: It’s Hard for Me with Such a Small Amount of Money

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: It’s Hard for Me with Such a Small Amount of Money

"You and I share a fate, I’ll certainly burn you some more paper money another day. Amitabha."

Qin Shou silently mourned for him, then prepared to turn and leave.

Since he planned to act low-key, he naturally wouldn’t meddle in other people’s business.

However, the next second, Qin Shou seemed to think of something and paused.

The distance from here to the Storm Red covered in spider webs wasn’t far, and he just happened to run into this chubby guy.

Could it be that this guy was the owner of the Storm Red?

A rich man!

Qin Shou felt tempted.

Should he rob him once more?

Since he owns a third mecha, he could very well have a fourth, maybe even a fifth...

Qin Shou squinted slightly, the smirk on his lips grew more exaggerated.

"A man grows rich through windfall gains, a horse grows fat from night grass."

Let’s do this!

Just as Qin Shou made up his mind, he suddenly thought about something.

Judging by this kid’s age, he should be a student at West City Mecha High School, and his family must be well-off, or he wouldn’t have so many mechas.

If he robbed him this time and left the guy without a mecha, and he accidentally died here...

Then who would he rob next time?

A full belly versus feast or famine—even beasts in zoos understand this logic, so Qin Shou had no reason to overlook it.

Having thought this through, Qin Shou changed his mind.

He quietly crawled to the spider-web-infested floor, making sure not to touch the webs, and removed the Reynard Transformation Card, reverting to his original form.

"Hey! Buddy, wake up!" Qin Shou whispered to the chubby guy.

The chubby guy was none other than Fang Bao.

As a cultivator of the newborn eight stars, Fang Bao would wake immediately even if he was deeply asleep upon the slightest disturbance.

He opened his eyes and instantly spotted Qin Shou not far away.

"It’s you!" Fang Bao exclaimed with delight.

Qin Shou asked in confusion, "You know me?"

Fang Bao eagerly nodded and said, "Bro, I’m the mechanical master who greeted you earlier. Does the Storm Red ring a bell?"

Qin Shou thought for a moment, then understood.

"So it was you. Why are you hanging here?" he asked.

Fang Bao sighed and said, "I encountered a beast tide and heard about the Skeleton Giant Lizard rampaging through West City. I originally came here to take shelter, but as soon as I got inside, this Monkey-faced Spider targeted me.

Before I could even reach the escape pod, I got nabbed and ended up here."

As Fang Bao spoke, he gestured with his mouth for Qin Shou to look at the dozens of white spider silks hanging above.

"Luckily, the big spider saw that I didn’t have much meat and decided to save me for a snack instead of eating me right away. Otherwise, my incredible talent would’ve met its end here."

Qin Shou nodded, "I see. That’s really unlucky."

Speaking, he began to turn away to leave.

Fang Bao, seeing this, urgently shouted, "Wait, bro, where are you going?"

Qin Shou responded, "Oh, it’s like this—I’ve got urgent matters. You hang tight for a few more days, and I’ll definitely call the guard team to come save you."

Fang Bao’s chubby face twitched.

A few days?

Are you messing with me?

"Bro, listen—I’ll pay you 300,000 Federation Coins as a reward if you help me down. How about it?"

Fang Bao tried to make his expression appear sincere.

Qin Shou turned back to look at Fang Bao, hesitating, "This Monkey-faced Spider is a level nine dangerous monster. If I touch the webs, it’ll wake up immediately.

300,000 Federation Coins—it’s hard for me to agree."

"500,000!" Fang Bao gritted his teeth.

Qin Shou shook his head, "This isn’t about the money."

"One million!" Fang Bao’s tone revealed his anguish.

Qin Shou still shook his head, "Honestly, I’m not interested in money."

Fang Bao was losing his mind—who do you think you are? Even my dad wouldn’t dare say that! Your tone is ridiculous!

"A Storm Red, Level 1, Eight Stars!" Fang Bao exclaimed, his voice trembling with anguish.

He was heartbroken!

Finally, Qin Shou looked at Fang Bao, though still hesitant.

"One mecha? And it’s only Level 1, Eight Stars? Bro, you might as well wait here for the guard team to save you!"

Qin Shou appeared resolute, turned, and left without looking back.

"Wait, two mechas!" Fang Bao shouted anxiously.

Qin Shou still didn’t turn around.

"You win—three mechas!" Fang Bao was almost in tears.

Qin Shou remained unmoved.

Fang Bao’s face was flooded with tears, "Final offer—four mechas! I still need one for protection. Bro, I really don’t have any more. Please be merciful and let me off the hook!"

Qin Shou finally turned back, his expression serious.

"Brother, what are you saying? You and I are fellow humans, how could I stand by and let you die?"

With that, he lightly tapped his Space Wristwatch, and a Space Gate opened above his head.

"Roar!"

A dark green Dragon Beast shot out from the gate, soared in a circle, and used its claw to tear Fang Bao down from the spider web before tossing him towards Qin Shou.

Fang Bao hadn’t processed what had happened when, in the next second, he found himself securely caught by Qin Shou.

"Brother, are you alright?" Qin Shou said with a smile.

Fang Bao froze—was that it?

Did you just earn that reward this easily?

"Roar!!"

The greedy snake coiled in the air, instantly startling the slumbering Monkey-faced Spider awake.

"Hiss!"

The Monkey-faced Spider moved cautiously along the spider web, its several unsettling eyes gleaming with gravity as it hesitated to attack.

Below, Fang Bao glanced up at the greedy snake and shouted while punching the air, "Kill that big spider—it’s scared me out of my mind these last two days!"

Qin Shou patted Fang Bao on the shoulder and laughed, "Don’t be so quick to seek revenge. Where’s the mecha?"

Fang Bao froze in place, his face stiff. He wanted to go back on his word, but he couldn’t muster the courage for such humiliation.

Reluctant to give them up easily, he felt conflicted.

Qin Shou seemed to guess what Fang Bao was thinking and gestured to the greedy snake.

The greedy snake received his order, its abdomen lit up with fiery brilliance, and moments later, a searing blaze gathered in its mouth and unleashed a massive fiery jet.

"Boom!!!"

A burst of firelight erupted instantly, and the overpowering column of flames crashed onto the massive body of the Monkey-faced Spider.

"Hiss!!"

A harrowing shriek sounded, and the giant web was quickly consumed by fire as the enormous Monkey-faced Spider writhed in agony before collapsing, twitching slightly on the ground.

Seeing the charred remains of the Monkey-faced Spider, Fang Bao instinctively swallowed hard and wordlessly placed four identical Storm Reds beside him.

Why did dad lie to me about mechas being the strongest?

Look at this—a single move wiped out a level nine dangerous Monkey-faced Spider. Beast Tamers are terrifying...

Fang Bao felt an overwhelming sense of grief.

Qin Shou smiled in satisfaction, storing the four Storm Reds into the System Space.

"Thanks, bro."

With a wave, Qin Shou turned to leave.

"Wait, my name’s Fang Bao. And yours?" Fang Bao suddenly asked.

"Qin Shou!"

Fang Bao nodded, "How about we make another deal?"

"Oh? Let’s hear it," Qin Shou said, intrigued.

...

Elsewhere, four people in the park suddenly heard a distant dragon’s roar and all their faces changed.

"That’s Qin Shou’s Dragon Beast!"

"No doubt about it—Lao Qin’s Dragon Beast makes that exact sound."

"Let’s head over to meet up with him."

"That might... be difficult."

Long Xia pointed at the massive giant python crawling out of the building, his face grim.

The python had been awakened by the dragon’s roar.
