Chapter 9

"Is the suitable pet beast a trash pet beast?"

Hearing this shocking statement, everyone couldn't help but turn to look.

The boy who spoke was wearing the school uniform of Qinghe No. 1 High School, with fair skin and a defiant gaze.

Although he was wearing a regular school uniform, he had on flashy sneakers, looking like a cocky rich kid.

Zhu Wu adjusted his glasses and said coldly, "Fu Huafei, say that again?"

Seeing Zhu Wu's cold and stern gaze, Fu Huafei was immediately scared and took two steps back, avoiding Zhu Wu's eyes.

"The policy for high school students to receive pet beasts for free is the same across the country. Our Qinghe City Base has not wronged anyone. Every pet beast is carefully cultivated by us, and we absolutely will not give any problematic pet beasts to beast tamers."

After explaining, Zhu Wu scanned the crowd and said, "Those who don't want to contract a pet beast for free can leave directly. The state gives you this opportunity, not for you to complain."

After saying this, Zhu Wu wanted to move on from the matter.

However, Fu Huafei felt that his previous performance was somewhat embarrassing. His face turned red as he tried to save face and shouted, "I'll leave, who needs those trash pet beasts?"

After saying this, he stomped his foot heavily and turned to leave the reception room.

The remaining students saw this and their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

After all, they were about to contract pet beasts that others didn't want.

Zhu Wu's mood also worsened with Fu Huafei's departure. Without any unnecessary words, he began calling students to the front desk to assign them suitable pet beasts.

Despite his bad mood, Zhu Wu patiently explained the reasons for their failed contracts to each student and the rationale behind the pet beasts assigned to them.

If any student had questions, he would patiently explain, and even change the assigned pet beast according to the student's wishes.

The classroom wasn't large, and although they couldn't hear what Zhu Wu said to others, everyone could see his patience and kindness. The students who stayed couldn't help but smile.

If this was such a responsible beast breeder, the pet beast he assigned to them might not be that bad.

Soon, Chen Wen's name was called by Zhu Wu.

Chen Wen quickly got up from his seat and ran to the podium.

"Your mental power is quite good. The reason for your failed contracts, apart from the first one due to lack of preparation, should be due to your talent..."

At this point, Zhu Wu looked up at Chen Wen.

Chen Wen nodded; his talent "Bond" indeed had no appeal to pet beasts.

Seeing Chen Wen nod, Zhu Wu continued, "In your case, you can either directly contract an ordinary extraordinary potential young beast, which your mental power can control..."

As he spoke, he flipped open the illustrated guide and picked out a pet beast for Chen Wen.

"Little Fire Sparrow, also known as 'Little Fire Crow.' Its skills are almost the same as the Fire Crow, except it lacks the Fire Crow's mental talents and skills..."

Listening to Zhu Wu's introduction, Chen Wen remained silent.

The Little Fire Sparrow also had the flying talent, and its skills were quite good.

Without knowing Chen Wen's specific talent, Zhu Wu had actually chosen a relatively suitable pet beast for him.

However, Chen Wen was still somewhat reluctant.

After all, most Little Fire Sparrows had only ordinary extraordinary potential, and there were no known evolution plans.

Seeing this, Zhu Wu knew Chen Wen was not satisfied.

If it were someone else, he might have directly and coldly assigned a pet beast, but he closed the book.

Zhu Wu said gently, "Unwilling to contract a pet beast with only ordinary extraordinary potential?"

Chen Wen nodded and said, "Yes, a bit unwilling, Mr. Zhu..."

"Any form of address is fine."

Zhu Wu smiled and then said, "We don't have many flying pet beasts in our Qinghe City Beast Breeding House. There are only a few suitable for beginners. The others are either not as good as the Little Fire Sparrow or are even harder to contract than the Sky Piercing Sparrow..."

Hearing this, Chen Wen suddenly said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be a flying pet beast."

"You..."

Zhu Wu was about to ask Chen Wen, but then thought it might involve Chen Wen's beast taming talent, so he quickly closed his mouth.

After a moment's thought, Zhu Wu asked, "What do you value most when choosing a pet beast?"

Chen Wen thought for a moment and replied, "Mainly the talent and potential, and more skills would be better."

The Bond talent can share the pet beast's attributes, skills, and talents, with talent being the most important. Skills can be learned, and attributes can be improved, but talent cannot be achieved through effort.

Moreover, the potential of the pet beast is crucial for the advancement of the beast tamer's level and should not be underestimated.

Zhu Wu thought for a moment and said, "You can sit down for a moment. I'll assign pet beasts to the other students first. I need to think more about your pet beast."

Chen Wen bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu!"

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "It's good to be able to help you!"

Then, he began calling other students to the podium.

Time flew by, and soon the other students had their pet beasts assigned and left the reception room with the certificates provided by Zhu Wu, heading to the designated breeding base to contract their pet beasts.

Stretching, Zhu Wu put away the papers on the table and beckoned to Chen Wen.

"I thought about it. Even if you don't have specific requirements for the pet beast's skills and attributes, there are still very few suitable for you. After all, most high-potential young beasts are proud, and if your talent cannot attract them, the success rate of the contract is zero."

Hearing this, Chen Wen's face darkened. At this moment, Zhu Wu's tone suddenly changed, and he smiled, "However, your requirements made me think of a pet beast that fits your needs—native pet beasts!"

"Native pet beasts?" Chen Wen asked in confusion.

Zhu Wu nodded and said, "Most pet beasts today are descendants of those from the secret realms. The Fire Crow and Sky Piercing Sparrow you chose earlier are examples. They were captured from the secret realms by beast tamers and brought to Blue Star for cultivation.

With the integration of the secret realms, native wild beasts have absorbed spiritual energy and evolved, with some acquiring the qualifications of pet beasts.

These pet beasts mostly have extraordinary talents and potential."

Chen Wen probed, "There must be some drawbacks, right?"

"Definitely!"

Zhu Wu nodded and explained, "Pet beasts from the secret realms have a lineage. As they grow, they gradually master the spiritual energy within them and use it to perform various powerful racial skills.

However, native pet beasts have no lineage, so they have no racial skills and cannot use their spiritual energy."

Chen Wen understood that native pet beasts absorb spiritual energy by instinct but do not possess any powerful extraordinary skills.

The abilities of pet beasts are closely related to their racial skills. Without racial skills, they are truly useless in battle and cannot provide support, making them mere ornaments.

"Also, because they have no lineage, the mental state of native pet beasts is like that of a two- or three-year-old child, with little resistance to beast tamers."

At this point, Zhu Wu raised an eyebrow at Chen Wen.

Chen Wen's eyes lit up, "So they are easy to deceive?"

Zhu Wu's face showed a look of approval.
