Fang Mu felt that the Neashore Trading Company must have a powerful backer.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Neashore Trading Company to rise suddenly and release so many resources into the market to enhance its own reputation.

No matter what the backer of Neashore Trading Company was, Fang Mu wouldn’t take it to heart.

Under normal circumstances, only trading companies would support one another.

A large trading company would provide resources, allowing a newly emerging trading company to develop.

This time, Fang Mu thought of taking Hu Tao to the exhibition hosted by Neashore Trading Company because he wanted to buy some metal spiritual materials for Hu Tao.

To use them for everyday cultivation of Hu Tao’s Destiny Guardian Beast, the Bird Armor Puppet.

At the Neashore Trading Company’s exhibition, Fang Mu just wanted to be a regular buyer and had no intention of interacting with Neashore Trading Company.

Previously, when Fang Mu revealed his identity as the disciple of a Grandmaster Creator, Neashore Trading Company had tried to curry favor with him more than once.

They had sent him invitations, hoping Fang Mu would become a distinguished guest at their auction.

Auctions were far more prestigious than product exhibitions, but Fang Mu had refused them all.

“Neashore Trading Company must have some influence, but no matter what, it’s not important,” Fang Mu said.

“I’ll go call for a Beast Car with a large carriage now.”

“Once you’re inside the carriage, summon the Bird Armor Puppet for me to see.”

Normally, it would be incredibly rude for a Beast Master to even mention wanting to see another Beast Master’s Destiny Guardian Beast, let alone actually look at it!

But Fang Mu and Hu Tao didn’t need to worry about such taboos.

Hu Tao had shown her Destiny Guardian Beast to Fang Mu in their freshman year of high school, and Fang Mu had been designing its diet ever since.

Now, Fang Mu wanted to see Hu Tao’s Destiny Guardian Beast to adjust its diet through Mobius’s Innate Divine Skill [Eye of Omniscience].

He aimed to guide the Bird Armor Puppet’s evolution in the most optimal direction.

The evolutionary path of a Destiny Guardian Beast was extremely important. If a Destiny Guardian Beast took the wrong path in its early stages, trying to correct it later would waste some of its evolutionary potential.

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao spoke with a hint of pride.

“Fang Mu, my Destiny Guardian Beast, the Bird Armor Puppet, has finally reached Perfect Quality!”

“It’s far more difficult to improve the quality of a Destiny Guardian Beast than that of an ordinary Guardian Beast.”

“It’s just that I’m not sure how to evaluate the new exclusive trait it has acquired.”

“I don’t know whether this exclusive trait is good or bad.”

While speaking, Hu Tao’s expression showed some dilemma, piquing Fang Mu’s curiosity.

He wondered what exclusive trait Hu Tao’s Destiny Guardian Beast had developed to make the typically carefree Hu Tao show such an expression.

Beast Cars with large carriages were very common in JA City.

Typically, if a family chose to rent a vehicle for a trip, they would opt for a Beast Car with a large carriage.

Compared to cars with smaller carriages, these large Beast Cars were only slightly more expensive and were a great deal.

In no time, a Beast Car pulled by three Spiral-Horned Sheep appeared before Fang Mu.

Fang Mu could have asked He Qing to pick him up, but considering he was taking Hu Tao to the exhibition that day…

Despite Hu Tao’s seemingly outgoing and straightforward demeanor, she was somewhat socially anxious.

She would become particularly quiet and shy around strangers.

Before getting to know He Qing well, it would definitely make Hu Tao uncomfortable to have him come over.

Gentlemanly, Fang Mu opened the car door for Hu Tao. After Hu Tao boarded, he then sat inside.

The driver headed toward Fountain Square, where Neashore Trading Company was holding the product exhibition, according to the destination set on Fang Mu’s phone.

Fountain Square was a very famous landmark in JA City.

The fact that Neashore Trading Company could hold a product exhibition there indicated that they must have provided JA City with significant resource subsidies.

Otherwise, using a scenic spot as a venue for a product exhibition would generally be very difficult to secure.

On the Beast Car, Hu Tao, without any hesitation, summoned her Destiny Guardian Beast, the Bird Armor Puppet, in front of Fang Mu.

The Bird Armor Puppet, when not possessed by a Bird Beast Master, looked like an unremarkable suit of armor.

Although it shone with a faint metallic luster, it looked very patchy, like cracked old tree bark.

All parts of the puppet armor were connected to each other by transparent threads.

As these threads moved, the whole puppet armor seemed to come alive, breathing as if it had a life of its own.

Fang Mu used the Fool’s Shadow’s Innate Divine Skill [Eye of Omniscience] to examine the Bird Armor Puppet.

This was the first time Fang Mu had observed the data-form of the Bird Armor Puppet since awakening Fool’s Shadow.
