I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

The pet market was not far from the vegetable market and food court. It didn't take long for Chen Zhou to find a relatively reliable pet store.

Strictly speaking, the name of this store is "Fujin's Alchemy Supplies Store".

Although it was not clear why an alchemy shop was opened in the pet market, there was no doubt that the manager of this shop was an acquaintance of his.

"Tom, didn't you read at the guild today?"

Fujin, the whispering dwarf illusionist who was in the same scout team as Tatalu, was inevitably a little surprised when he saw a familiar face coming into the store.

This studious warlock was always reading in the guild every day until evening. How could he suddenly find him today?

"I need a familiar."

While talking, Chen Zhou observed the other party's shop.

At first glance, the configuration is similar to that of a stone hunting dwarf's alchemy shop, but it is filled with all kinds of small animals - in the form of labor.

"Is this a hamster wheel?" At a glance, he saw a large group of hamsters on the counter, pushing the wheels to power the strange machine.

Is this really efficient?

"Um, don't look at me like that, I didn't abuse them." Seeing the strange look in the other person's eyes, Fujin quickly explained, "An environment that is too comfortable is not conducive to their health and growth. This is to keep them Minimal exercise.”

Providing some power to the machine is only incidental.

And for alchemists, many animal by-products are also key materials for making alchemical items.

Chen Zhou was amazed and decided not to comment.

"I see, then do you have any recommendations for magic pets?"

Although alchemists don't usually make arcane connections with animals, Fokine is an illusionist who has mastered alchemical techniques.

Therefore, his suggestions are very worthy of reference.

"Choosing a magic pet is a big question."

At the mention of animals, Fokine suddenly became much more serious.

According to him, there is a close connection between the familiar and the caster. Once the contract is formed, there will be an inseparable relationship, so one must be careful when choosing.

Some magic pets such as little devils and magic bats are unreliable. The magic pets must be small animals (personal opinion)!

Chen Zhou really planned to choose a small magic pet that could bring good mood.

In this way, the choice is very specific. The dwarf explained: "Magic pets are divided into functional types and preference types."

After an arcane bond, familiars also share their powers with their masters:

Toads will share vitality, rats and weasels will share strength and reflex speed, owls and falcons will share the hunter's observation skills, cats will share the hunter's sensitivity, ravens will share their sensitivity to treasure, and their smart IQs will Learn a language of the caster.

"What about the panda?" Chen Zhou asked. He felt that as long as he could hold the panda for a while, he would definitely be able to level up two levels in a row.

Fu Jin was puzzled: "What is that? How can anyone use a bear as a magic pet?"

Basically only druids choose which large animals to use as companions, and that's another story.

"But I think you don't care about the little power brought by the magic pet. Just pick the one you like. How about a cat?"

Fukin stereotyped that tiger people might get along with cats.

"If you don't want a cat, what's the use of a cat? It's easy to eat, lazy, has a bad temper, and it sheds hair." It's a pity that Chen Zhou is definitely not a cat person... he is a dog person.

But dogs are really not the best choice for a magic pet.

"What about a falcon or a raven? They can replace your eyes for reconnaissance in the air. Many spellcasters who venture out tend to choose a flying familiar."

This time Chen Zhou thought carefully for a while, but finally refused.

Birds are a good choice, but they are too fragile and easy to target while flying in the sky.

Fujin thought for a while and brought the other party to his counter.

"How about this? Eat less, be in good shape, run fast and be sensible."

The one that the dwarfs praised for its many advantages was a miniature rodent whose entire body was brown, except for its abdomen and the insides of its limbs, which were milky white.

"Hamster?"

Chen Zhou had some ideas, but not many.

"It's not a hamster, it's a mini giant space hamster!" Fukin corrected seriously.

Space hamsters are completely different animals from their material-faced cousins, except that they are similar to ordinary hamsters in appearance and habits.

The real space hamster is actually a super cute rodent herbivorous creature as big as a brown bear.

The dwarf spellcasters who live in the astral realm have cultivated this species and tried to use them to drive magic ships. Unfortunately, this plan has not been completely successful to this day.

As for this hamster, it was created by gnome wizards who used magic to reduce giant space hamsters to mini size, so their creators called them "mini giant space hamsters".

In addition to shrinking them, this magic makes the space hamsters smarter and even telepathic.

telepathy?

Although I had read about similar creatures in the book "Boo Boo's Astral Monster Show" before, and I was fascinated by the adventures of the legendary hamster and his mount Minsk described in the book, there was no mention of this creature in the book. Also telepathic.

While wondering if this was a "dwarf joke", Chen Zhou stood in front of the hamster wheel and carefully observed the mini giant space hamster.

It looks really good, has a strong body, and is full of energy. If you really want to buy it, at least you won’t have to worry about whether it will get sick or be in a bad mood every day.

Maybe... it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy a hamster as a magic pet?

Regardless of whether it's a so-called mini giant space hamster or not, at least it's pretty cute.

Probably noticing that someone was staying near him, the hamster, who was keen on rolling, gradually stopped and looked up at the creature looking down at him.

"Big thing, can... can you talk?"

The hamster's voice reached Chen Zhou's mind.

Chen Zhou: "???"

It’s really telepathic! ?

He quickly turned to look at the dwarf, who was doing nothing. He didn't seem to be casting any spells, nor did he have any magical aura coming out.

After obtaining Fu Jin's consent, Chen Zhou put the hamster and the roller in his hand.

After a while, the appendix of "Life Plan" judged it as a possession and displayed the hamster's information:

Mini giant space hamster (3 months, male, neutral good)

Strength 1, Agility 20, Constitution 10;

Intelligence 6, Perception 12, Charisma 6;

Abilities: Telepathy 5 ft., sneak attack 1d6

description:

This gentle rodent is a creature of the wild universe, but countless members have found their way to other worlds on the Material Plane, where they are simply called hamsters. They are also careful not to let most nearby creatures notice that they are telepathic.

The experience of being raised by Whispering Gnomes made him more reserved, and he also learned some special skills, such as identifying the weaknesses of creatures such as kobolds, goblins, and giants.

"How much does this hamster cost? I decided to use it as a magic pet."
