Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Heaven-Deceiving Liquid
Catherine appraised the Dragon Hunter once more, the gorgeous garment and boots with red bases and black edges, a head of white hair, and a bat-like mask. The image looked quite different from that of an ordinary pet.

“Indeed a special pet, having one by my side wouldn’t be bad,” Catherine contemplated, wanting to take this Dragon Hunter into her possession but lamented the lack of means to do so.
Initially, she had wanted to figure out who Long Yue’s pet had lost to, but now, though still unclear, it no longer mattered. Catherine had no interest in Long Yue anymore; she was more intrigued by these two pets.
However, the Ascension Level pets she had on hand were not capable of defeating either the Holy Shield Dragon or the Dragon Hunter, and Catherine could do nothing but leave Commerce Star in chagrin.
Catherine was naturally not one to give up easily. After returning, she immediately summoned all her subordinates and staff.
“I want these two pets, bother yourselves to think of a way for me,” Catherine showed the images of the Holy Shield Dragon and Dragon Hunter to her staff.
...
“Lord, is it that the pets’ owner refuses to sell? Leave it to me, I am adept at the substitute skill, which can help you snatch the pets,” a Gallic Person who was a subordinate immediately spoke out.
Catherine said indifferently, “But I do not know where these two pets currently are.”
“That is not difficult; just tell me who their owner is, and I will be able to deduce his location.” Another staff member spoke.
“I also do not know who their owner is,” Catherine replied coolly.
“Not knowing the owner does complicate things. It’s challenging to deduce the location of the pets alone,” the staff member mused.
The Gallic Person fell silent too; without even knowing the pets’ whereabouts, there was no chance for him to attempt theft.
The group buzzed with discussion, yet no one could come up with a truly viable solution.
Catherine furrowed her brows slightly. She had raised so many people hoping that when the time came, someone could scheme for her. Yet now, not a single person could offer a serious suggestion, as if she had nourished a bunch of nonentities.
Catherine did not wish to support a pack of good-for-nothings. Just when she was about to lose her temper, someone suddenly spoke up, “Lord, I might have a method that could prove successful.”
“Jones, let’s hear your method,” Catherine looked towards the speaker, a Youyi Tribe subordinate.
Jones stood up and said, “Lord, I have lately been studying the rules of Commerce Star and discovered some interesting, hidden rules, such as in the pet price battles, where we normally use Commerce Star Coins as bets. There is also a hidden rule that allows for the use of items as bets, and even the pets themselves, where the loser of a duel must forfeit their pet to the victor.”
“Such a rule exists?” Catherine showed slight surprise; she had made quite a sum from the pet price battles but had not known about this rule.
Jones continued, “As Lord oversees vast affairs, it’s only natural not to have time to understand rules thoroughly. Ever since the emergence of Commerce Star, aside from times necessary for eating and sleeping, I have always been conversing with the Spirit of Commerce Star, exploring its rules in various ways. Some remain elusive without dedicated research.”
After a pause, Jones added, “Lord, if you wish to acquire these two pets, you simply need to invoke this hidden rule, wagering your own pets and defeating theirs. Naturally, you would then gain possession of them.”
“That rule sounds fine, but it still won’t work,” Catherine shook her head.
“Is Lord worried that the other party will not agree? You need not worry about that. With my understanding of the rules, it’s possible to make the opponent completely unaware that they are wagering their pet,” Jones offered further.
Catherine sighed, “That’s not the reason. The problem is that I do not have any Ascension Level pets capable of defeating them. Hence, that method is not viable.”
Upon this statement, the multitude of subordinates and staff had a moment of realization. No wonder Catherine was so keen on obtaining these two pets. Even with her wealth, she could not proffer any pets that could defeat them, which showed how precious and rare these pets were.
For a moment, everyone was clueless again. Regardless of the methods and strategies, they were useless if they could not win.
After a little while, it was still Jones who spoke up, “Lord, there is actually another way.”
“What is it?” Catherine asked, somewhat surprised. She hadn’t paid much attention to this Jones before and hadn’t expected him to be so talented.
Nearly everyone in the Cosmos knew that Commerce Star was an opportunity to make money; everyone wanted to profit from it, yet few people had delved into understanding its rules as meticulously as Jones.
Jones said, “Pet price battles allow for inter-tier combat. Lord, you can use Nirvana Level pets to challenge their Ascension Level pets. With such an approach, victory is assured.”
“I’m aware of that, but if I use Nirvana Level pets to challenge their Ascension Level pets, others might not agree, would they? The opponents are not fools,” Catherine said.
“That’s where this comes into play.” Jones presented a potion to Catherine. “This potion can temporarily reduce a pet’s tier. As long as the dosage is controlled well, once the opponent has agreed to the duel, and the pet falls to Ascension Level, it can return to Nirvana Level on the battleground, ensuring a surefire victory.”
“Interesting, what is the name of this potion? Are there any side effects?” Catherine toyed with the potion bottle as she inquired.
“Returning to Lord, it is called Heaven-Deceiving Liquid, a little trick I’ve researched on my own. There indeed are side effects; a pet that has been administered Heaven-Deceiving Liquid might encounter some mental complications, becoming less adept at following orders, in other words, a bit dull-witted,” Jones answered.
“That’s hardly a minor trick. If used in hunting higher beings, wouldn’t it be a Divine Artifact?” Catherine remarked.
Jones shook his head, “Using Heaven-Deceiving Liquid requires stringent procedures to be effective; the pet itself must cooperate to complete the process, which is nearly impossible in combat. Moreover, Heaven-Deceiving Liquid is ineffective against beings of too high a tier; it can only affect Nirvana Creatures at most.”
Hearing this, Catherine felt somewhat disappointed and placed the Heaven-Deceiving Liquid back on the table, “Although the method isn’t bad, the side effects are too severe. Let’s dismiss it.”
Jones was slightly taken aback by Catherine’s refusal to use the Heaven-Deceiving Liquid.
“Lord…” Jones, reluctant to give up, was about to speak further but Catherine waved her hand to interrupt him, signaling there was no need to continue.
In the end, neither the subordinates nor the staff could provide Catherine with any useful advice.
After the meeting, Jones left by himself, taking a transporter to a planet where resources were nearly depleted.
