Due to their personalities, some pet beasts need to be in contact with the beast master for a period of time after being brought home by the beast master after the initial pet beast allocation, and only after they have a certain emotional foundation are they willing to contract with the beast master.
Taking this situation into account, the initial allocation of pet beasts is just a preliminary contract agreement between the beast master and the pet beast.
After paying the breeding fee, the beast master can take the pet home, and there is no mandatory requirement for when the contract will take place.
If after bringing the pet home, the beast master and the pet cannot conclude a contract for some reason, there will also be corresponding explicit provisions on the initial distribution of the pet.
Humans and pet beasts are not in a relationship of slavery and servitude. They are partners. Pet beasts are not the property of humans. Therefore, even if a contract cannot be concluded with the beast master, the pet beasts brought back cannot be discarded or resold privately. They must be given away.
Return to the corresponding breeding park, and the park will be responsible for follow-up care, and the original breeding fees paid will not be refunded.
Based on such regulations, Lin Shuo could theoretically choose a pet beast to take back. If it was determined that he could not cross over again, he would contract the pet beast. If he found that he could cross over again, he would return the pet beast to the breeding park.
Although this would result in a loss of breeding expenses, compared with the possible risk of delaying the application for the Beastmaster University, this was something Lin Shuo could bear.
Thinking of this, a somewhat relaxed look finally appeared on his face.
Looking at Xue Henqing, who was nestling comfortably in his arms with her eyes closed and an expression of enjoyment, Lin Shuo couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, "Little guy, you helped me solve a big problem."
"Mi?(?òωó?)" (What question?)
Xuehen lightly opened her ice-blue eyes and glanced at Lin Shuo doubtfully.
It's obviously just sitting in this human's arms enjoying a massage, and it's not doing anything else?
"Nothing." Lin Shuo chuckled and stood up from the chair.
Next, it's time for him to find his initial pet beast.
Although the initial pet beast you are about to choose may not be contracted, it is not absolute, so you still have to choose carefully and not make a hasty decision.
As for Xue Henqing lying in his arms...
Lin Shuo looked at each other with those icy blue eyes, a look of helplessness on his face, "Little guy, it would be great if you could evolve."
He really liked the character of Xue Henqing. If it could evolve into the leader of the race in the future, Lin Shuo would be willing to take this little guy away as his second choice.
However, the natural disadvantage of being able to stay in a high-level elite race for the rest of his life makes the cultivation value of Xue Henqing very low.
As if he understood what Lin Shuo meant, Xue Henqing's big icy blue eyes blinked, and soon showed an aggrieved expression, and his originally raised head slowly lowered.
Disliked (*??ω??)
Seeing Xue Henqing's ears drooping and her beautiful eyes losing some of their sparkle, Lin Shuo felt an inexplicable pain in his heart and hurriedly comforted him and said, "Stop crying, little one. I'll take you home first."
The Xuehen Light Breeding Area is some distance away from here, and I don’t know how this little guy escaped.
Hearing Lin Shuo say that he wanted to send it home, Xue Henqing's mood seemed to have stabilized a little. He rubbed Lin Shuo's hand and called out with a little emotion.
"Mi..." (Okay then...)
Seeing that Xue Henqing's mood was no longer so depressed, Lin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. He called up the map and checked the location of Xue Henqing's breeding area. He coaxed the little guy and walked towards the breeding area.
Five minutes later, Lin Shuo appeared at the door of the Xuehen Light Breeding Area with the little guy in his arms.
Along the way, he carefully calmed the little guy's emotions and even told him two jokes.
Although I don’t know if the little guy understood it, his mood did improve a lot.
There are many students in the Snow Trace Light Breeding Area, even more than in other elite race breeding areas.
But these students are mainly girls. It seems that they are not here to choose pets, but to pet cats...
With the appearance of light snow marks, it is normal.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Shuo looked down at the little guy lying in his arms.
He originally planned to put the little guy down directly and then leave to find a pet that suited him.
But now that he has arrived home, this guy is still a little reluctant to leave, which makes Lin Shuo quite helpless.
In this case, you can only seek help from the staff in the breeding area.
There happened to be a young lady with a staff sign not far away, who seemed to be looking for something.
Lin Shuo walked forward quickly, "Hello, excuse me..."
The girl with a delicate appearance and glasses who looked gentle and quiet turned her head to glance at Lin Shuo, and then her eyes fell on Xue Henqing in Lin Shuo's arms. A surprise smile soon appeared on her face.
"Qiuqiu! Finally found you!"
Qiuqiu? Is that the name of this little guy?
Lin Shuo looked at the little guy who was balled up in his arms and looked like a little fur ball, and suddenly felt that this name was very appropriate.
Qiuqiu and this girl obviously knew each other, and his mood was obviously better when he saw her. He twisted his body and got out of Lin Shuo's arms, waving his little paw towards the girl.
(?′ω`)?
The girl skillfully picked up the ball and teased it with a slutish smile on her face...
However, she soon realized that there was an outsider here, and her face turned slightly red. The girl coughed slightly and looked at Lin Shuo, "Hello, I am Xu Jiajia, the breeder of Xuhenqing Breeding Area. May I ask where you found it?"
From Qiuqiu?”
"It's in the aisle between the round-cornered horse and fire cloud dog breeding areas." Lin Shuo thought about his position at that time and replied.
"Fire Cloud Dog..." Xu Jiajia's face became a little more complicated, and she looked at the ball in her arms with a more helpless expression, "You little guy..."
Upon hearing the words "Fire Cloud Dog", Qiuqiu's back arched slightly, and his hair suddenly exploded.
"Mi!(?_?)?" (Fire Cloud Dog and I are inseparable!)
Looking at Qiuqiu's ferocious appearance, Lin Shuo was slightly curious, "Excuse me, does the area where Qiuqiu appears have anything to do with the Fire Cloud Dog?"
"Well, yes." Xu Jiajia glanced at the ball and looked a little weird, "If nothing else, it should be looking for a fight with the Fire Cloud Dog."
fight…
Lin Shuo's expression suddenly brightened.
He had absolutely no way to connect the cute and clingy Xue Henqing in front of him with the fight.
Although it is indeed difficult for these two to get along with each other, as one is an ice type and the other is a fire type, and one is a cat-like beast and the other is a dog-like beast, it is still very rare for Qiuqiu to take the initiative to fight.
"It's like this..." Xu Jiajia paused and explained, "Last year, a very special Fire Cloud dog appeared in the Fire Cloud Dog breeding area. According to the breeder's judgment, the Fire Cloud Dog had an extremely restless temper.
Crazy mood, very abnormal."
"So after discussion in the breeding area, it was decided to separate the Fire Cloud Dog from other Fire Cloud Dogs and raise them separately. Unexpectedly, the Fire Cloud Dog escaped accidentally." Xu Jiajia rubbed Qiuqiu's head.
Sigh softly.
"The place where they were kept alone was not far from the Xueyhen Light Breeding Area. The manic Fire Cloud Dog broke into the Xueyhen Light Breeding Area. By the time we found and subdued the Fire Cloud Dog, there were already several of them.
Xue Hen was seriously injured."
"Among these snow marks was Qiuqiu's mother, who was pregnant at the time. Later, Qiuqiu's mother died of a recurrence of old injuries shortly after she gave birth to Qiuqiu with difficulty. Qiuqiu's father was also bought by someone shortly after she was weaned.
We left the breeding park." Xu Jiajia's face showed a bit of distress, "You also know the habit of light snow marks."
Lin Shuo nodded.
The newborn cubs in the Xuhenqing clan are all raised by their mothers. His father can be considered very responsible if he can accompany him until weaning. But Qiuqiu's mother died soon after he was born. Under such circumstances
As soon as the little one is born, he can only rely on himself.
Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. Perhaps it was because Qiuqiu's life experience reminded him of his own life experience. Lin Shuo looked at Qiuqiu more and more closely.
"The food in the breeding area cannot be fed to each pet separately. It is put together for them to grab food on their own, and this is also used to train the fighting ability of the pets. The other Xuhenqing cubs have their parents to protect them.
We were given more food, but Qiuqiu didn’t have that condition, so we had to raise Qiuqiu alone.”
"You should also have discovered that Qiuqiu's personality is different from other Xuehenqing. In Qiuqiu's eyes, we feed it alone as a preference for it. Over time, it begins to become closer to humans than its own kind."
Looking at Qiuqiu obediently curled up in Xu Jiajia's arms, and looking at Xue Henqing nearby who ignored the closeness of the students, Lin Shuo finally understood why Qiuqiu was so different.
But then, he frowned slightly, "What happened to the manic Fire Cloud Dog in the end? Qiuqiu wasn't born yet, so why did it go to fight with the Fire Cloud Dog?"
"After attacking other pets, the Fire Cloud Dog naturally cannot stay in the breeding park. It has been sent to the treatment center for individual treatment. Although Qiuqiu has not personally experienced this, Qiuqiu's father should
Tell it." Xu Jiajia smiled bitterly, "So Qiuqiu has hated Huoyun Dog since he was a child, and now he often goes to the Fire Cloud Dog Breeding Area to fight."
"Fortunately, the breeders at the Fire Cloud Dog Breeding Area also know the situation. Every time, they find a Fire Cloud Dog that is as powerful as Qiuqiu and have a fight with it, just to practice Qiuqiu's fighting skills."
Qiuqiu twisted his body and screamed dissatisfied.
"Mi! Mi! (′ω｀?)" (I win every time! Fire Cloud Dog is nothing more than that!)
"Okay, okay, Qiuqiu is the best." Xu Jiajia chuckled, raised her head and looked at Lin Shuo, "How about it? Do you want to take Qiuqiu away?"
Xu Jiajia naturally couldn't waste her time talking so much to a stranger. The reason why she introduced her so carefully was because she saw that Lin Shuo liked Qiuqiu very much, and judging from Qiuqiu's performance in letting Lin Shuo take him back, it seemed that
I also have a good impression of Lin Shuo.
Although he likes Qiuqiu very much and is reluctant to let this little guy leave, Xu Jiajia knows that for pet beasts, growing up with a beast master is the best choice, and the young man in front of him is very good.
Well, it's not because he is handsome.
Lin Shuo was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu also stared at Lin Shuo nervously.
(?ω?)
After staring at each other for a long time, Lin Shuo suddenly had a bright smile on his face.
"good."
He changed his mind.
Snow Henqing's racial qualifications are actually very good. Its only problem is that it has no evolution path.
The absence of an evolutionary route does not mean that there is no possibility of future evolution, but the future is not clear enough and you may need to study a new evolutionary route yourself.
This is difficult.
It can be seen from the high amount of alliance contribution points that can be obtained for every new evolutionary route discovered that it is not that easy to explore the evolutionary route. Moreover, as Xueyhenqing is a popular pet beast, there are naturally many scholars studying its evolutionary form. So far,
There are no research results yet, which is enough to show that the evolutionary route of Xuehenqing is either very difficult to find, or there is really no such thing.
But so what?
Every detail of getting along with Qiuqiu and what Xu Jiajia said about Qiuqiu's life experience flashed through Lin Shuo's mind again. Although they had only known each other for a short time, Lin Shuo already had an answer in his mind. He thought
I need to take this cute little guy away.
He wanted to fight with this little guy who was very close to him as soon as he met and who had a similar destiny to him.
If he can't travel to another world, then Qiuqiu will be his contracted pet beast. His theoretical results are so good. At worst, he will focus on studying the evolutionary form of Xue Henqing in the future, and he will always find something.
If he could travel to another world, in order to enter a better beast mastering university, Lin Shuo might not make Qiuqiu his first contracted pet, but he would not give up Qiuqiu just yet.
His beast control space is already at the second level. Once it reaches the third level, he can contract a second pet beast.
At that time, the second contract position can also be reserved for Qiuqiu.
Moreover, maybe someone in another world discovered the evolved form of Snow Mark Light?
Lin Shuo slowly stretched out his hand towards Qiuqiu, with a bit of nervousness on his face, "Qiuqiu, are you willing to come with me?"
"Pap~"
Qiuqiu stretched out a small paw and pressed it on the palm of Lin Shuo's hand, and a gorgeous ice flower bloomed instantly.
"Mi!(﹡?ω?﹡)?" (Yes!)
…
"Qiuqiu, we're home." Lin Shuo stood in front of the welfare home and touched Qiuqiu in his arms. "I'll give you a try of the breeding cubes I just bought later to see if they suit your taste."
Poking his head out of Lin Shuo's arms, Qiuqiu looked around curiously.
"Mi! Mi! (??ω??)" (We're home! It's delicious!)
"I bought catnip flavored ones. The salesperson said that Xue Henqing loves this flavor of breeding cubes. I don't know if that's true."
"Mi!?(′ω`)?" (Catnip!)
"It seems to be true."
One by one, they chatted and laughed and walked towards the orphanage.
There were no twists and turns in the process of paying the breeding fee. Xue Henqing's feeding fee was 12,000 alliance coins. After Lin Shuo paid, he bought some breeding cubes for Qiuqiu, thus reducing half of the 30,000 yuan treasury.
Pet beasts can eat the same food as humans, and there are not many dietary requirements. However, breeding cubes are specially made food for pet beasts, which can provide nutrients for the growth of pet beasts and help them grow better. The only disadvantage is that
expensive.
One feeding cube is the amount of a meal for a pet beast, and the price is a full fifty alliance coins. This is the original flavor. Special flavors like catnip flavor for specific pet species cost even more sixty alliance coins.
There are higher-level energy cubes above the breeding cubes, which are specially used to replenish energy for pet beasts after training. The lowest first-level energy cube costs 500 alliance coins.
Although he was poor, no matter how poor he was, he could not afford to pet animals, so Lin Shuo gritted his teeth and bought fifty breeding cubes in one go to serve as Qiuqiu's next meal.
The children in the orphanage already knew that Lin Shuo would be assigned the initial pet beast today, and when they saw him coming back, they all gathered together. After seeing Qiuqiu, they were even more happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
What child can resist such cute snow marks?
Seeing this, Lin Shuo had no choice but to let Qiuqiu play with the children for a while. Fortunately, Qiuqiu was already close to humans, so no unpleasant situations would arise.
Today is the first day I have brought Qiuqiu back, so of course I can’t talk about training. I can only cultivate relationships for the time being.
As the day went by, the relationship between one person and one pet became more and more harmonious. Even if there was no contract yet, Lin Shuo could already understand the various meanings that Qiuqiu wanted to express.
Night falls.
Lin Shuo felt so nervous about sleeping for the first time that he couldn't fall asleep successfully for a long time.
"Mi~(ˊωˋ*)??" (Good night~)
After Lin Shuo fell asleep, Qiuqiu gently jumped onto Lin Shuo's bed. His petite body nimbly got into Lin Shuo's bed, found a comfortable position in Lin Shuo's arms and quickly closed his eyes.
sleep!
Feeling the fluffy little guy in his arms, Lin Shuo's heart gradually calmed down.
A wave of sleepiness came over him, and his consciousness slowly faded, and finally he fell into a deep sleep.
