Chapter 72 The Cost Of Pets And Elixir Spring-----
Titan began to overreact, which kind of threw me off a little bit. Rita also felt like he was overexaggerating so she tried to calm him down, but he continued to feel shocked.
"What's wrong?" I wondered.
"That snake costs a lot of money…" Said Titan.
"Huh? What?!" Asked Rita, quickly getting interested in the conversation.
"You see… Hidden Bosses are a one-time foes that appear once in a millionth time, they often are hidden in dungeons, which are already very rare. And they're able to drop unique loot and items that can make amazing equipment and items, and also special items… Pet Eggs." Said Titan. "Boss Pet Eggs are highly priced in the market, and even born pets can still cost a lot of money! They have the potential to grow as strong as the boss monster if not even stronger than that. There are several Tamer Guilds made out of Tamer Players who would pay millions of gold coins for them, if not billions!"
"A-And how much is that in real life money?" Wondered Rita while rubbing her hands greedily.

Because it is a Dragon Lineage Monster Pet, it is even more prized! Every top player that has reached Level 300 has Dragon Pets as companions, and they're incredibly powerful after evolving into higher tiers! They can easily help players deal even more damage to end game content!" Said Titan. "They're way better than any growing summons…"
"Wow… Really?" I wondered, looking at the little Silver who was so weak, it seemed she had a great potential.
"Ela- Planta! We should totally sell off that thing! We'll get rich! We can even just live off that money for a while!" Said Rita. "How about you leave that annoying job you got too? You could dedicate your free time to spend with your family and play the game with me too!"
"B-But… I don't wanna!" I said angrily, as I hugged the little Silver, who was coiling around my arms. She seemed a bit scared of Rita as well.
"Eeeeh? But we could make so much money! Ugggh… Just give it to me!" Rita said angrily, trying to take away Silver from me, but an invisible wall stopped her from approaching to me.
BAM!
"Uagh! Eh? A barrier?" She asked.
"This is an anti-assault barrier, it automatically activates whenever a player has an evil intention against me… It is part of the menu settings…" I sighed. "Sorry but there's no way I'm giving away little Silver now, it has been a few minutes but I've already grown attached to her…"
"Geez… Okay, fine, fine! Sorry, I overreacted a little bit there." Sighed Rita while crossing her arms.
"Hahah… S-Sorry as well, I shouldn't had said this if it would had generated a strife between friends…" Apologized Titan. "And Planta is right, if you've grown attached to the little creature, I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping it."
"Yeah! It would be cruel to sell off a tiny animal for some money to some strangers, Lady Achlys!" Said Acorn.
"Okay I get it! Don't reprimand me now…" Sighed Rita.
"Also, that little dragon will grow even stronger with each evolution, so I'm sure Planta will be able to take advantage of him." Said Titan. "As you seem to be mostly a production-based Job Class and all, a strong fighter at your side will be convenient."
"You're right!" I said. "I also got my Belle and my Loki, they're my two Summons, they're pretty strong themselves. Without them I wouldn't had been able to progress so much so far."
"I see… Being a Summoner and a Production Class seems to be interestingly good." Said Titan. "I had picked up Druid because it would complement my slow and big body with long ranged attacks and temporal Spirit Beast Summons. Unlike your summons which stay and grow stronger with you, the ones I can summon are temporal, mostly based in Beast Souls I unlock. I could also use Beast Souls dropped from monsters to get unique temporary Beast Spirit Summons, but those are harder to find." Sighed Titan.
"I see! I got something similar… I can summon Spirits through Dragon Veins using Spirit Magic, but I guess your Beast Spirit Magic is quite different than mine, and seems way more convenient than mine, as I am restricted to my environment…" I sighed.

"Of course it has! She sometime ago just summoned a giant Lava Golem Titan and punched the dozens of meters tall snake in the guts! Thanks to her magic I was able to concentrate my power and fire off some strong attacks to finish it off… I leveled up a bunch after that!" Laughed Rita.
"Damn, I missed on the fun of that…" Sighed Titan. "Well, I am glad you two defeated an hidden boss, they're often said to be way harder than the final bosses."
"They are? No way, we defeated it cheap easy!" Laughed Rita.
"Well, not really, it was very close… If it wasn't thanks to the water of this Hot Spring that has HP and MP recovery effect, we wouldn't had been able to use magic so freely." I sighed.
"Recovery effect? Is this… an Elixir Spring?!" Titan stood up and then ran towards the Hot Spring, touching the water and drinking it. "Wait...! This water costs a lot in the market as well! It is a premium material to use for the making of potions! Several guilds of Alchemist Players or even the Alchemist Guild made of the NPC of this world could pay a lot for this in large quantities…!"
"Really?" I wondered.
"Ohooooo~!" Rita's eyes suddenly changed into the shape of money. "I see! T-Then, let's fill up our inventory with this water before anything else, heheh!"
