Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

The playground was still bustling with activity. Mo Xu walked through the iron gate of the playground and looked inside. For the first time, he deeply felt the feeling of being out of touch with joy and sorrow.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't disappointed. At the age of twenty, how could he remain calm after being poured with cold water? He retracted his gaze and left the place.

On the way, Mo Xu sent a message to Li Shiyao, saying that he was fine.

Li Shiyao called back immediately and asked, "Are you okay?"

Thinking that this person, who was always cold and aloof, could actually comfort others, Mo Xu felt warm in his heart: "I'm fine. The vice-principal said that I can still become a beastmaster."

"really?"

"Well, don't worry."

Then Mo Xu patiently explained it to Li Shiyao, which made her feel a little relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Mo Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of depression eased a little.

As he continued walking, he also called Cha Ling as agreed.

On the other side, Cha Ling answered the phone almost immediately and said excitedly, "Hello, is this Junior Brother? I've been waiting for your news. How are you doing?"

Mo Xu said somewhat tactfully: "Senior Sister, the result is not very good."

"Hey, I heard that you guys released a 530 this time. It doesn't matter if your score is not as high as his, but you are a forerunner, so your upper limit is not worse than his."

Cha Ling thought that Mo Xu was unable to speak up because he was not outstanding, but she didn't know that Mo Xu was not like that at all.

"Senior sister...my spiritual power value is 0.15."

"It's enough," Cha Ling said smoothly, and then asked in surprise: "Wait, how much did you say?!"

Mo Xu repeated again: "It's 0.15, Senior Sister, you heard it right."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then he asked, "So, Mo Xu, what are your plans now?"

Mo Xu answered firmly: "I will not give up becoming a beastmaster easily."

"That......"

The other side seemed to be thinking about the wording. Mo Xu expected it, so he said directly: "I need a few days to decide my future path. So I need you to keep my matter of the Forerunner secret for a few more days. Once I have made my decision, you can cooperate with me in anything."

As someone who was involved in scientific research, Mo Xu could keenly perceive that an extremely low-ability "forerunner" like himself must have high research value. So he did not expect Cha Ling to keep it a secret for him, but took the initiative to propose conditions, so that he could better take the initiative.

After hearing this, Cha Ling immediately replied, "Sure, junior, the 'Illuminati' will create miracles, I believe in you."

Mo Xu hung up the phone, and thought while relaxing. After a lot of twists and turns, he arrived at the zoo, and he stood on the embankment along the lake for a long time. The sky was clear, and the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves. The artificial lake reflected the blue sky and white clouds.

However, Mo Xu had no time to pay attention to the scenery here. He just threw a small stone from time to time, creating faint ripples on the lake surface and scaring away a few carp.

He had just looked up a lot of information, and combined with the conversation with the vice-president, he roughly understood his current situation.

The initial energy value of the Beastmaster itself is extremely low. It can be said that the initial energy value of the Beastmaster determines the starting point of the Beastmaster. The higher the starting point, the higher the possibility of climbing up.

In Mo Xu's case, it's not just a matter of low starting point. With his energy level, there are very few contracted monsters that he can choose from.

In the early years, there was a debate on the forum about how much energy a normal person could use to defeat a monster. A generally accepted view was that the energy of a baby was about 1.

After all, no matter what, a demon beast can only be called a demon beast after it has been baptized by extraordinary energy. And with Mo Xu's energy value, the demon beast that can be contracted may not even be able to beat a human baby, so it can be said that it is an extremely weak race.

This kind of race is not only small in number, but also often has an extremely low upper limit for growth, which also results in an extremely low upper limit for the growth of the Beastmaster being fed back.

No wonder the vice-president said it was “difficult”.

But no matter how difficult it is, for Mo Xu, giving up is impossible. If he hasn't awakened yet, then there's no need to struggle. Since the conditions are already there, it's not his character not to give it a try.

Moreover, he has confidence, which comes from his unique supernatural powers. He can sense the "characteristics" of things that others do not know.

Characteristics are very vague. From Mo Xu's original perspective of earth science, they are "mutations". Some individuals may have amazing bloodlines or mutations. Even if they are very weak, they have the potential to grow.

Just like the "Spiritual Carp" we saw that day, it is just an ornamental fish. Who would have known that it has dragon blood flowing in its body?

Although it is difficult, there is always a window.

-

Mo Xu sorted out his ideas and got to work.

He opened the map navigation and immediately hailed a taxi to the largest monster center in the city center.

The Monster Center is located in the core business district of Jiangming City. It is an industry jointly run by the Beast Tamer Association and big entrepreneurs. It brings together all the monsters that can be traded on the market.

Of course, the monsters will not be stored in the city center. How can there be enough space to store those big monsters? And it is not allowed for safety reasons. The center only provides a trading platform and VR exhibition hall to allow buyers to understand the monsters more intuitively.

The central building is very tall. It is not as majestic as the famous landmarks on Earth, but it is comparable to the commercial centers of big cities.

Mo Xu entered the center. The exhibition hall on the first floor was very spacious, about six or seven meters high, with many statues of monsters, including soaring dragons, hissing birds, etc. There were quite a few people inside, but it was not as prosperous as the surrounding shopping malls.

Soon a shopping guide came up to greet him. After seeing Mo Xu's student appearance, she understood and said with a smile, "Handsome boy, do you want to choose your first pet?"

Mo Xu nodded in agreement.

"We can learn about all the monsters in the southern part of China here, and most of the monsters in the northern part can also be booked. I believe that you can choose your favorite monster pet."

The shopping guide said enthusiastically, and took out a tablet: "You can choose a category. You can filter by attribute, grade, or energy size. Then I will take you to the corresponding area to learn more."

Mo Xu looked at the tablet and had to say that the interface was very well designed. Not only was the classification detailed, but each monster also came with illustrations.

He also saw the King level option in the rank list, and was surprised: "Can even the King level be traded?"

The shopping guide seemed to be used to hearing this question, and immediately explained, "It is sold publicly, but it is actually very rare to come across one. This kind of monster may only appear once every few years. It is usually intercepted by the auction house."

Mo Xu also understood. This was probably just a gimmick. It meant that theoretically it could be bought, but in reality, forget it. If you wanted to buy it, go to the auction.

He flipped through the energy classifications and found that the lowest level of monsters was only 5, and there were no lower levels: "Is there no lower energy here? The lower the better."

"The lower the better?" The shopping guide was also stunned. It was the first time she heard of this demand. Most people who come to buy things want the price to be as high as possible within a certain range. They don't always look for the lowest price right away.

"Um, bro, the lowest price is this 5-yuan "Immortal Moth". The lower ones are all ornamental species. Those are directly seen in person, and they are not put on the sales system."

"The real thing?" Mo Xu thought to himself, "That's great. Can you take me to see it?"

Although the shopping guide was a little confused, he still professionally took Mo Xu to the viewing area.

The viewing area is a bit like a high-end flower, bird, insect and fish market, with colorful and bright reds and purples everywhere. It seems that no matter which world it is, the tastes of the rich are pretty much the same.

In a large water tank, Mo Xu saw the spiritual carp he saw in the school zoo that day. He scanned it with his perception technique and found that the energy value was the same as that day, 1 or 2, and even 3 was rare. It seemed that the fat spiritual carp that day was really a rare mutant. If conditions allowed, he really wanted to catch the fat fish and cultivate it.

Unfortunately, he was not even qualified to be the spiritual carp that was forwarded. Mo Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and continued to walk around the viewing area.

He soon spotted a more interesting species, a ghost that was only the size of a palm.

Yes, it was a ghost. To be precise, it was a translucent creature similar to a ghost, with a very light green body, very small, and gathered into all kinds of strange shapes in the container. Some were sitting there like a little man, and some were spread out on the ground like a pancake.

According to the shopping guide, this monster is called Phantom Ghost. Although the name sounds high-end, it actually has no combat power at all and its growth ceiling is also very low. Its only ability is to transform, and the more powerful ones can even serve as a projector.

Mo Xu sensed the pancake-shaped phantom ghost.

"Phantom Ghost"

Rank: None

Spiritual power: 0

Attributes: Ghost, Space

Features: "Transformation" can imitate energy and entities of all attributes.

I looked at several phantom ghosts in a row, and they all had the "transformation" characteristic. It seems that this is their racial characteristic.

The difference is that, except for the cookie ghost, the other little human ghosts and ball-shaped ghosts only have ghost attributes, but not space attributes!

Mo Xu was a little helpless to complain. Could it be that turning into a pancake would unlock the 3D space effects?

But no matter what, the space attribute is a very rare attribute, just like the dragon attribute.

"Can we find out how much energy this thing has?" Mo Xu asked, pointing at the cake ghost. His perception skills were not accurate enough to decimal points.

The shopping guide probably saw someone coming to the viewing area to ask about the energy for the first time, but he still asked a colleague to bring a precision measuring instrument to measure it, and the result was 0.11.

Within his range!

I have to say, he was tempted and asked the shopping guide about the price. It was not expensive, and was really about the same price as a projector, so he bought it without hesitation.

The shopping guide said "uh" for a moment, but couldn't help but ask while packing, "Brother, are you buying this for the contract?"

Mo Xu replied: "Any questions?"

The shopping guide was a little anxious: "Although the Phantom Ghost can really transform into a myriad of forms, it can't fight. The largest one that can be raised is at the association's headquarters. It is said that its energy value is only over 400, and it is used for live broadcasts of large-scale events. Even that one may not be able to defeat the Spirit Carp with energy of dozens of tens if they really fight."

"Just kidding, I just bought it for fun."

Faced with the salesgirl's concern, Mo Xu didn't want to appear too special and just laughed it off.

"That's good," the shopping guide said doubtfully, "This thing really looks good but is not practical. Don't be fooled by any soft articles."

"rest assured."

Afterwards, Mo Xu bought two more "low-energy" monsters. One was a newly born "parasitic crab", which was ordinary, and the other was a "leaf caterpillar" with a mutated "elemental affinity" characteristic. Their energy values ​​were both within his contractual range.

Carrying three cute little toys, Mo Xu left the Monster Center contentedly.
