Chapter 3

【Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the United Federation, just got off the plane.

I went to study in the United Federation in high school, so I don't have this kind of experience. However, the free pet beasts provided by the state, you know, I suggest the OP spend money to buy a pet beast with more potential.

I am abroad and have a broader perspective. If you need any help, you can contact me.

By the way, remember to clearly state your beast-taming talent so I can help you choose a suitable pet beast.

Contact information: XXXXXXXX

】

Looking at the most liked answer, Chen Wen shook his head and sighed, then immediately reported it.

If he remembered correctly, citizens who report espionage activities and play a significant role in solving espionage cases can receive a maximum reward of 500,000 yuan.

Although he didn't know if this person was a foreign force or a spy, the person's extensive denigration of national policies and guidelines was definitely malicious.

...

The next day, the weather was clear and bright.

"Chen Chen, are you packed? Come and eat the noodles quickly, don't be late for the beast-taming class!" Chen Wen's mother's voice came from the kitchen.

Chen Wen rinsed his mouth and replied, "Mm... almost done!"

After rinsing his mouth, Chen Wen casually ran his hand through his hair and couldn't help but exclaim, "So handsome!"

Chen Wen's father passed by the bathroom, glanced at Chen Wen, and nodded, "Like me!"

After saying that, he walked to the dining room to have breakfast leisurely.

Chen Wen was stunned for a moment, then hurried to the dining room.

Breakfast was oil-splashed noodles cooked by his mother. The chili powder was splashed with oil, and some meat sauce was sprinkled on top, emitting a fragrant aroma that opened up the appetite.

Stirring it, Chen Wen picked up the bowl and slurped the noodles.

"Slurp—"

The aroma of the noodles, chili, oil, and vinegar...

Instantly, the delicious taste exploded on Chen Wen's taste buds, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Chen Wen's mother felt a sense of accomplishment.

Chen Wen's father originally wanted to criticize his son for slurping noodles, but seeing his wife's smiling face, he just buried his head and ate the noodles.

After finishing breakfast, the three of them got in the car, and Chen Wen's father drove them to Qinghe No. 1 High School.

Chen Wen's parents ran an appliance store, and they usually got up early to open the store, letting Chen Wen take the bus to school.

However, today was a special day for Chen Wen to receive his pet beast, so his mother was afraid he would be late and asked his father to drive him, while she went to open the store first.

Qinghe No. 1 High School, although the only key comprehensive high school in Qinghe City, was located in a suburban area, not far from Chen Wen's home.

Therefore, with his father's skilled driving, they arrived near Qinghe No. 1 High School in just a few minutes.

Seeing the busy road in front of the school, Chen Wen's father found a nearby spot to park.

As Chen Wen got out of the car, his father suddenly said, "I don't have much experience, if you have any questions, ask the teachers and classmates more. Even if you become a beast-taming apprentice, it will make your father proud!"

Chen Wen was taken aback, then smiled, "Got it, Dad! Drive carefully!"

Watching his father's car drive away, Chen Wen walked to school with a light heart.

Although he had changed worlds, his parents' love for him remained, giving him a relaxed mindset.

Because, he always had loving and caring parents behind him.

As soon as he entered the school gate, Chen Wen saw a clear sign at the intersection.

【Beast-Taming Class →】

Following the sign, Chen Wen quickly found the school's large playground.

At this moment, there were already a dozen people on the playground, all wearing Qinghe No. 1 High School uniforms, their clear eyes full of anticipation.

Chen Wen scanned the crowd and soon saw his best friend.

He Xiong was clearly taller than the others, and his build was also larger, so Chen Wen spotted him at a glance.

"Big Bear!"

Waving from a distance, Chen Wen ran over.

He Xiong smiled when he saw Chen Wen, holding a bread and waving at him.

When Chen Wen got closer, He Xiong asked, "Chen Chen, how are you prepared?"

Chen Wen shook his head and said, "No idea, I'll just go with the flow!"

"True, it all depends on fate!"

Saying that, He Xiong took out a palm-sized glass bottle from his backpack and handed it to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen didn't take it, puzzled, "What's this?"

He Xiong pushed the glass bottle into Chen Wen's hand, "Hundred-flower honey! I told my mom I wanted to eat it too, so she bought an extra one!"

At this, he smacked his lips greedily.

He Xiong, who looked so strong like a bear, was not only genetically blessed but also a big eater.

Holding the hundred-flower honey He Xiong had prepared for him, Chen Wen was a bit at a loss.

The appearance of the secret realm brought many changes to Earth, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Nutritional supplements were one of them.

Using the plants and animals from the secret realm as raw materials, the human world produced many nutritional supplements that could improve the physical qualities of humans and pet beasts, and even enhance the abnormalities of pet beasts.

Hundred-flower honey was one of the lowest-level nutritional supplements, which could slightly improve the physical qualities of humans and pet beasts.

However, its more important characteristic was its delicious taste and its popularity among certain pet beasts, such as bear-type pet beasts that like honey.

Using hundred-flower honey to lure could significantly increase the success rate of contracting bear-type pet beasts.

Although hundred-flower honey was one of the lowest-level nutritional supplements, its value was considerable.

Chen Wen had looked it up online; such a small bottle cost 50,000 yuan.

Moreover, this thing was not available for purchase by those who were not registered beast tamers.

Therefore, Chen Wen couldn't even trick his father and had to go empty-handed to receive his free pet beast.

Seeing Chen Wen's hesitation, He Xiong said directly, "Take it first. If you encounter a bear-type pet beast you like, use it. If not, we can open it and taste it together."

Saying that, he salivated and couldn't help but take a big sip of milk, as if he were drinking the hundred-flower honey.

Chen Wen pondered for a moment and accepted He Xiong's kindness.

"Alright! Thanks, Big Bear!"

He didn't make any promises, but Chen Wen remembered He Xiong's favor and would repay it when he had the chance.

Given his relationship with He Xiong, he wouldn't mind sharing food and drinks, but the hundred-flower honey was valuable to them, and he couldn't treat it like ordinary snacks.

After finishing breakfast, He Xiong threw the trash into the nearby trash can.

Coming back, he said, "Chen Chen, if you feel bad about it, how about calling me Brother Xiong from now on? 'Big Bear' is too cute, I want a fierce and powerful title!"

Chen Wen smiled and said, "Sure, Brother Xiong—"

Chen Wen deliberately dragged out the last word, not saying the word He Xiong wanted to hear.

"Big Bear, Brother Xiong... Humph, you treat me so well, and you won't even call me brother!"

He Xiong's chubby face was full of resentment, and he placed his hands on Chen Wen's shoulders and rubbed them hard.

"Ouch—ah~ So comfortable!"

Chen Wen moaned in satisfaction, attracting many gazes.

He Xiong's face turned red, and he quickly let go, saying fiercely, "Chen Wen, you're ruthless!"

"Humph—"

Chen Wen grunted and hurriedly rubbed his sore shoulders.

"Brother is still brother. You recognized me as your brother back then, and now you dare to defy me!"

He Xiong immediately turned his head away in anger.

He and Chen Wen were the same age, and he was even older than Chen Wen, so he should be the older brother.

However, in elementary school, he was shorter than Chen Wen and less sensible, and he was lured by spicy sticks to call Chen Wen "brother."

After that, he blindly followed Chen Wen through elementary and middle school.

When he grew a bit wiser, his height also shot up, and he no longer wanted to call Chen Wen "brother."

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make up for all the years he had called Chen Wen "brother."
