Beast Taming: Infinite Simulation as a Tamed Beast
Vincent Wolf experienced the frustration of having his Beast Contract Agreement with the Fox Spirit terminated when he was just starting out. He felt upset because he forgot to mention the key phrase "Do not bully the poor young man." However, he was grateful that his Beast Talent, "Simulation," had already been activated before the contract was terminated. Otherwise, forgetting his key phrase could have affected the use of this cheat. But why did this simulation talent make him replace the consciousness of the tamed beast in the secret realm? Could there be a bug or something? Therefore, Vincent worked hard in the simulation, fighting monsters, leveling up, and enduring torture. Meanwhile, his tamed beasts enjoyed the benefits, rapidly leveling up and even gaining proficiency in skills through him, the beast tamer. Vincent couldn't help but complain, "This is robbery! Who is the real beast tamer here?!" His simulation talent responded, "Who says a beast tamer can't be used as a tamed beast?" In the end, Vincent looked at himself, now possessing countless skills, and fell into deep contemplation…

Chapter 1
"Whoo? Whoo-whoo!"
A small white fox with a glossy, silky fur and three tails on its back angrily roared at a dazed-looking young boy.
The collar around the little fox's neck worked as a translator for the "fox language."
"Why? Why, Vincent, did you sign a contract with another pet beast?!" The translation had a monotone and mechanical tone.
Vincent crouched down, looked at the little fox, opened his mouth slightly as if wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"Ao Ao! Ao Ao Ao!" The little fox turned away its face, seeming dejected.
"I really misjudged you, Vincent! Let's cancel our contract agreement!"
Vincent finally came to his senses, but the next moment, the little fox had already taken out a gorgeous contract and threw it on the ground before leaving without looking back.
He picked up the so-called contract and started reading it.
[Contract Agreement:
Mr. Vincent Wolf and pet beast Flora Gates have both received approval from their parents and fully agreed to sign the contract under their own volition.
Mr. Vincent Wolf will sign a contract with Flora Gates when he opens up the Beast Space.
This serves as evidence, and both parties will sign to validate.
Male party: Vincent Wolf—Male party's handprint: (a palm print)
Pet beast party: Flora Gates—Pet beast party's handprint: (a small plum blossom print)
Male party witness: Dragon Town—Pet beast party witness: Nora Gates
Signed on September 25]
Vincent held the contract with shaking hands.
"I just got teleported to this world right when I was about to get a five-kills streak, and I endured."
"I came to this Beastmaster World and only signed a contract with the lowest-ranked Slime, and I endured."
"But why should I take the fall for my predecessor and suffer the pain of this contract termination?!"
"At least let a person come to cancel the contract, not a fox, what's going on?!"
"You even ran away without giving me a chance to say the line 'don't underestimate a poor youth'!"
Along with Vincent's internal howls, his phone in his pocket rang.
Vincent shivered and took out his phone cautiously.
Sure enough, it showed three shining characters:
[Old Lizard]
Vincent carefully pressed the answer button and then kept his ear away from the phone.
"You damn fat-headed boy, you! Hurry the fuck up and get your ass back here to apologize to Flora Gates! If you don't, today, I'll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of my deceased master!"

Dragon Town's angry roar came after the phone's translation.
Dragon Town, who couldn't say more than two swear words in a year, seemed to have contributed all of this year's and next year's share today. It was unimaginable how furious he was.
No wonder.
The Three-tailed Fox's species level was a High-Level Commander, still having the possibility of further advancement. It was much more advanced than Dragon Town's own Pseudo-Dragon bloodline beast.
And it's even more so many times better than the Slime, which was only a low-grade Transcendent species level that Vincent currently contracted.
Vincent hurriedly hung up the phone. He had urgent matters to deal with now, not going back home to be beaten, let alone apologizing to the fox.
He wouldn't take this blame.
Vincent checked the time. It was already past 9 am. He didn't dare to delay any longer and followed the route from his memory at a fast pace.
Before long, a Mysterious Realm Registration Center named "Water Mysterious Realm" appeared before him.
The Water Mysterious Realm was rich in water attribute resources, with various water attribute pet beasts thriving and reproducing there. Within the realm, even Commander level pet beasts could be found, making entry slots in high demand.
Vincent had been teleported two days ago. Shortly after arriving and briefly digesting his memories, he immediately signed up for this Mysterious Realm slot, not daring to delay.
"The success of my future depends on this trip to the Mysterious Realm!"
Vincent summoned the Slime. A small summoning array appeared in the air, and a pale blue gel-like substance was squeezed out of it, bouncing off the ground as it landed.
Upon the Slime's appearance, a semi-transparent virtual panel appeared in front of Vincent.
[Name: Slime
[Attribute: Water
[Species Level: Low-grade Transcendent
[Growth Level: Awakening Level 1[Racial Talent: None
[Skills: Spitting Water (Entry-level)
[Introduction: A slime that has entered into a contract through Dimensional Summoning, seemingly no different from an ordinary slime.
This shabby panel represents the slime that was contracted by its previous owner through the Beast-controlling Talent [Dimension Summon].
Dimension Summon allows you to randomly choose a lucky pet beast from countless planes, and it's even possible to contract mythical-level pet beasts, although the odds are like comparing cosmic dust to the universe.
The original owner couldn't resist the temptation of contracting a mythical-level pet beast, so they chose Dimension Summoning, but they ended up contracting a small slime.
Unable to withstand this enormous blow and disparity, the original owner died of heartache and frustration.
So, gamblers never die well.
Vincent Wolf leaned down and picked up this light blue slime, which felt cold, soft, and bouncy, and was quite comfortable to hold.
The slime also narrowed its big eyes in his embrace and gently rubbed against Vincent's chest.
Originally, Vincent had some disdain for this slime, but when he sensed the strong feelings of affection and joy that the slime conveyed to him through the Beast Control Contract, his dissatisfaction dissipated.
"You were selected from the endless planes by the original owner, but you two were fated to meet but not destined to be together. I also came from another world, and as soon as I arrived in this world, I was forced to connect with you. Maybe this is fate."
"I mean, if you were a beautiful girl, I'd sell everything I have—even swindle that cheap old dragon—to raise you!"

Slime is just beginning to gain Spiritual Wisdom and cannot understand complex words, so it just continues to comfortably squint its eyes.
Vincent looked at the Mysterious Realm Registration Center not far away and walked in with Slime.
"Hello, please show your appointment." A sweet-looking girl behind the counter brightened up when she saw Vincent and greeted him with a smile.
"Alright." Vincent handed her the appointment form.
The girl, still smiling, took the appointment form. But as soon as she saw the name on the form, her face turned expressionless and she even displayed some contempt. She stopped talking to him and just went about processing the paperwork.
"Are you Vincent Wolf?" A male student who had just arrived behind him asked in surprise after seeing Vincent's face.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Vincent replied indifferently.
"You're quite famous now. Everyone in Los Angeles's First Beast Master High School knows that you gave up the House Treasure Three-Tailed Fox at the Los Angeles Breeding House, and instead made a contract with a useless, broken slime." The girl interjected indignantly.
Upon hearing this, Vincent's expression suddenly turned serious, staring straight into the girl's eyes, making her feel a little creeped out.
"There is no high or low, noble or humble among people, neither are among pet beasts. They may come from different backgrounds, but their character is equal. You can call me a fool or an idiot; I admit it."
"But when you mention my pet beast, please just call it 'Slime' without any prefix. It may also be weak in the future, but that's definitely not its fault, but my fault as a Beast Master."
After that, Vincent took the Water Mysterious Realm Pass that had already been processed from the girl, who was still in a daze.
"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have belittled Slime." The girl apologized in a low voice.
"It's fine; just be more careful in the future." Vincent felt a little relieved.
"But you are indeed an idiot." The girl still looked down on him.
Vincent pretended not to hear her. After all, it wasn't something he had done, so even if she wanted to scold him, it was as if she was scolding someone else.
There was no helping it. In the eyes of these high school students, the House Treasure of the Los Angeles Breeding House was even more attractive than the school beauties and hunks.
Now, in other people's eyes, Vincent is like a person who was originally dating a wealthy school beauty but ended up betraying his fiancée on the eve of their wedding and ran off with a poor and ugly woman.
Who wouldn't call him a pervert after seeing this situation?
With the girl's operation, a machine slowly started, and a small platform floated out, depicting various intricate patterns and emanating a faint aura of power.
This is a small Secret Realm Teleportation Machine, solidifying the ultra-long-range space transfer ability that only Monarch-level space-type pets can have.
"Please hold the Water Mysterious Realm Pass and step onto the Secret Realm Teleportation Machine."
Vincent, holding Slime, stepped onto the machine.
As the machine operated, Vincent's vision went black, and a dizzying sensation of weightlessness made his stomach churn. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted a few seconds; otherwise, he would have definitely vomited on the spot.
After closing his eyes and adjusting for a moment, Vincent finally opened them again.
Stretching before him was a vast expanse of rivers, lakes, and marshes, littered with crisscrossing man-made bridges. At the end of each bridge was a small island, and Vincent was standing on one of them.
Instead of paying attention to anything else, he was just nervously watching the rows of prompts appearing before his eyes.
[Analyzing the Mysterious Realm…]
[Progress: 0%…20%…50%…100%]
[Mysterious Realm: Water Mysterious Realm——Analysis completed, do you want to enter?]
"Enter!"

Chapter 2
Despite not knowing whether it was due to his arrival here, Vincent Wolf awakened his second Beast-controlling Talent, [Simulation].
However, when he tried to use it, he found a prerequisite condition: he must enter the Mysterious Realm.
And to enter the Mysterious Realm, and thus use the talent for its entry, he had to physically go into the Mysterious Realm.
To enter this Mysterious Realm, just for making an appointment, Vincent Wolf waited for two days.
These two days, he was extremely cautious, afraid of encountering that little fox who forged a contract with him.
The result was, just as Vincent Wolf was leaving his house to go to the Water Mysterious Realm, he still encountered it.
Damn it!
As for the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm, Vincent Wolf also learned some information.
Every Mysterious Realm has its own Spirit, and once you receive the Spirit's approval, you'll receive its blessing.
To obtain the approval of the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, Vincent Wolf had heard that one must consecutively defeat a hundred water-type pet beasts.
[Do you want to start the Simulation?]
"Yes."
[Available Mysterious Realm: Water Mysterious Realm]
[Available object for Simulation: Slime]
[Randomly Obtained Clause: Thick-skinned (White)]
[Thick-skinned (White): You are strong and robust, able to slightly resist the damage caused by skills.]
[Note: You can randomly obtain a clause each day for the first simulation.]
[Simulation begins]
[Day 1 in the Water Mysterious Realm, you find yourself turned into a Slime. You are startled and hid on an island for the day.]
[Day 2, you woke up very hungry, went to the lakeside to take a drink of water, and then hidden again.]
[Day 3, you became braver and attempted to explore further. Not too far into your exploration, a Bubble Turtle spotted you and initiated combat.]
[After a simple combat session, you get beaten by the Bubble Turtle's [Rush] skill. Because of your thick skin, you didn't take too much damage, just feeling a bit humiliated.]
[Day 4, you hid on the island, practising [Spit Water, determined to retaliate.]
[Day 5, still on the island, you continue practising [Spit Water, your skill proficiency upgraded from novice to skilled.]
[Day 6, practising [Spit Water]…]
[…]
[Day 20, practising [Spit Water, your skill proficiency progressed from skilled to expert. At the same time, you levelled up to Awakening Level 2.]
[During the practice, you encountered humans several times. You were tempted to have them take you away, but you hid and refrained from revealing yourself for various reasons.]
[Day 21, you feel you have mastered your skill, full of confidence you went out to challenge the Bubble Turtle. You and the Bubble Turtle fought for eight hundred rounds.]
[Your spit water, even though it has reached expert level, its damage has decreased a bit against water-type Bubble Turtle. You won narrowly by resorting to some human cunning.]
[During the fight, you personally experienced the [Rush] skill several times, leading to some comprehension, so you learned the [Rush] skill.]
[You despised the Bubble Turtle, so you engulfed it with your body and digested it. You levelled up to Awakening Level 3, you became slightly more powerful.]
[Day 22, you hid on the island, practising [Rush].]
[…]
[Day 40, practising [Rush, your skill proficiency arrives at expert level. At the same time, you levelled up to Awakening Level 4.]
[Day 41, once again full of confidence, you started venturing outside the island. After leaving the island, whenever you encountered pet beasts, you fought against them. You won over a dozen fights, and each time you won, you devoured your opponent.]
[After devouring a dozen or so beasts, your level raised to Awakening Level 7, and your bloodline awakened, acquiring the racial talent skill: [Devour]. Sadly, you didn't get to enjoy this for long, as you were punctured by a Swordfish.]
[You died.]
[After the simulation ends, you can keep the following]
[Option 1: Retain memories from the simulation, including all learned knowledge, skills and combat experience.]
[Option 2: Retain racial levels.]
[Option 3: Retain growth levels.[Choice 4: Keep the clause for a week.]
"A swordfish, really is a sword, eh!"
Vincent Wolf gritted his teeth.
"Why am I the one who has to turn into a slime for the simulation? Well, I suppose that this dopey slime wouldn't survive beyond three days if left to its own devices. Better leave it to me."
"As for what to keep… I reckon growth level isn't critical, since we can still continue to simulate. Keeping the clause doesn't do much too. Guess there's no other choice but the first."
With Vincent's selection, the words in the simulation were infused directly into his and the Slime's minds. Every scene in the simulation felt as if they had experienced it first-hand.
The initial panic of the transformation, humiliation from failures, body memories formed from practicing skills, etc., were all carved clearly into Vincent and the Slime's minds.
It felt as though Vincent indeed spent forty-two days as a Slime within this Mysterious Realm.
The Slime, still in Jasper Patton's arms, also gained the memories of these forty-two days. However, it was confused now, wondering why it was dead yet able to look around while being carried by its master.
Jasper Patton re-summoned the current screen for the Slime.
[Name: Slime
[Attribute: Water
[Species Level: Low-grade Transcendent
[Growth Level: Awakening Level 3
[Species Talent: Devour (Entry-level)
[Skills: Spit Water (Proficient), Rush (Proficient)
[Introduction: The Slime that has been contracted through dimensional summoning, and possesses extra skills compared to ordinary slimes.
The increase in proficiency of the skills led to an unexpected joy–the growth level of the Slime improved by two ranks.
Spit water and Rush were nothing but ordinary low-grade skills that were commonly possessed by pet beasts. They were of no interest to him. He was only interested in the [Devour] skill.
[Skill: Devour
[Skill Level: High Level
[Introduction: Enhances digestive ability, increases the amount of absorbed energy threshold, and reduces the chance of physical explosion. When digesting a pet beast, if the Species Level of the opponent is higher than self, there's a slim chance of self Species Level increment.
Seeing this skill, Vincent widened his eyes.
"This is a godly skill! I knew there was something valuable hidden in this thing that I summoned! It indeed had hidden potential!"
The skill levels of pet beasts vary from low to high, categorized as: Low Grade, Middle Grade, High Level, Super Grade, Emperor Grade, and Divine Grade.
They correspond to pet beast Species Level: Awakening, Extraordinary, Commander, Monarch, Overlord, Guardian God.
A High Level skill was something only a Commander-Level species could comprehend, highlighting the value of this [Devour] skill.
But he quickly realized that this skill was rather limited.
The fact that there was a "slim chance" of increasing Species Level indicated that devouring one or two wouldn't do much; it would require devouring a large number of pet beasts to increase Species Level.
And there were only two places where there would be a large number of pet beasts.
One was outside the city, and the other was in a Mysterious Realm or some relic.
Going hunting in the wild was risky, as many powerful pet beasts were highly territorial.
Killing a large number of pet beasts in a Mysterious Realm was even illegal.
For instance, in the Water Mysterious Realm, a Beast Master could accidentally harm or kill other pet beasts during a fight, but he couldn't commit savage or random killings.
To supervise this, everyone is required to carry a Mysterious Realm Pass which ensures the holder can reach their intended Mysterious Realm and acts as a monitoring measure.
This monitoring measure can ensure the safety of the holder and prevent them from committing illegal activities.
If Vincent started to slaughter wantonly here, he would likely be arrested and sentenced before he killed two beasts. Off to the sewing machine for him.
"Only because I have the [Simulation] Beast-controlling Talent, which lets me keep the Species Level achieved during the simulation, I'm able to do something. Otherwise, I can only stare."
"Continue the simulation, continue the simulation!"
[Start Scenario?]
[Note: When in the simulated Mysterious Realm, there are two opportunities for simulation every day. When outside the Mysterious Realm, there is only one opportunity for simulation each day, and each simulation requires a certain amount of physical strength.]

Chapter 3
"Is there a limit to the number of times?"
Vincent Wolf was worried. The qualifications to enter the Mysterious Realm were not easily obtained. He could only apply once every half a month, and each time there was a limit to the number of places.
"Forget it, let's start the simulation!"
[Simulation Begins]
[On the first day of entering the Water Mysterious Realm, you find yourself transformed into a Slime. You are initially panicked, but you still retain the memories of your last simulation and soon calm down.]
[On the second day, you stay in an island, practicing [Spit Water] and [Rush, but your progress is slow, so you decide to explore outside the island tomorrow.]
[On the third day, you leave the island to explore. Not far from the island, you run into a Bubble Turtle. Before the Bubble Turtle can react, you ambush it, achieving a complete victory.]
[Disliking the Bubble Turtle, you decide to devour it. Your growth level reaches Awakening Level 4, but your species level does not increase.]
[On the fourth day, avoiding the path of the Swordfish, your journey of battles begins.]
[This time, you've become smarter. Before each battle, you make an advance estimate of the opponent's combat power and only ambush when you ensure you're not directly confronting the enemy.]
[After a day of hard work, you devour dozens of pet beasts. Your level has increased to Awakening Level 8, but your species level has not.]
[On the fifth day, you ambush a Slippery Rune. Because of the Slippery Rune's traits, the [Rush] did significantly less damage and your ambush failed. This made the Slippery Rune extremely angry.]
[Slippery Rune is a High-level Extraordinary Species. You're no match for it and have to flee for many kilometers before you get rid of it.]
[While fleeing, you have a moment of insight and comprehend [Rapid Movement].]
"…Could it be that my hidden Beast-controlling Talent is insight?"
[On the sixth day, you are chased to an unfamiliar area. Feeling uneasy, you hide and observe your surroundings for any potential hazards.]
[On the seventh day, having observed no danger, you enter an island and begin practicing [Rapid Movement].]
[On the eighth day, you practice [Rapid Movement]. You are extremely compatible with [Rapid Movement, and your skill proficiency quickly increases from beginner to adept.]
[…]
[On the twelfth day, you continue to practice [Rapid Movement, your proficiency goes from adept to skilled. You believe there is still much room for improvement, so you continue to practice.]
[…]
[On the fiftieth day, while practicing [Rapid Movement, a human found you. He challenges you, and you defeat him, leaving him in shock.]
[On the fifty-first day, under the guidance of that defeated human, a group of humans finds you and challenge you.]
[You manage to defeat them, leaving them shocked. Your growth level has reached Awakening Level 9.]
[On the fifty-second day, you continue to fight without getting tired. However, you are defeated by a human female and humiliated by being tamed and taken out of the Mysterious Realm.]
[Simulation Ended.]
[After the simulation, you can choose to retain certain benefits]
[Option 1: Retain the memories of the simulation, including all learned knowledge, skills, and combat experiences.]
[Option 2: Retain species level.]
[Option 3: Retain growth level.]
"I didn't expect that leaving the Mysterious Realm would also end the simulation. But why am I so tenacious about it? Although I quite like it."
"This time I ate more than ten pet beasts and still haven't upgraded my species level. It seems the probability is indeed very low."
Before getting to work, sharpen the axe first. Choosing the first option again, Vincent Wolf and Slime gained the memories of those fifty-two days.
He also saw what the girl who defeated him looked like.
Vincent Wolf was angry. He remembered the girl who defeated him. She had confessed to his predecessor before.
Unfortunately, his predecessor was not interested in women and was only obsessed with powerful pet beasts. From then on, this girl had always been at odds with him and often came to provoke him.
"Don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you up."
After being determined, he looked at Slime's panel.
There was a new skill in the skill list: Rapid Movement (Expert). The growth level also increased by 1 level due to this expert skill, reaching Awakening Level 4.
Other than that, nothing significant had changed.
Vincent Wolf tossed Slime onto the ground. It had obviously become much stronger.
Having obtained the memories of over a hundred days, Vincent Wolf felt through the Beast Control Contract that Slime's spiritual wisdom seemed to have increased significantly. At least it could barely understand what Vincent was saying now.
Slime was hopping around, adjusting to its suddenly increased power.
"Slime, use [Spit Water]!" Vincent Wolf conveyed the information to Slime through the contract.
After receiving the information, Slime mobilized its Water Attribute Energy. A thick jet of water suddenly shot out like a high-pressure water gun on a large stone, creating a fist-sized hole on its surface.
Vincent Wolf nodded slightly. The effect of the skill was similar to what he remembered of his own practice.
However, when Slime was using its skill, Vincent always had a strange feeling that he couldn't describe.
"Slime, use [Rush]!"
Slime mobilizes its energy and its body becomes visibly stronger. The energy propels its body to crash rapidly towards the big stone, making a loud bang. The stone shakes slightly, and a bun-sized concave dent appears on its surface.
"Use [Rapid Movement] again!" Realizing something, Vincent hurriedly said.
After demonstrating the [Rush, Slime recovers and immediately uses [Rapid Movement]. A pale blue afterimage quickly passes around Vincent, so fast that he can't react at all.
After Slime had demonstrated all the skills, Vincent, suppressing his inner excitement, calmed his mind and communicated with the energy produced by meditation in his body.
A weak energy emerges on the surface of his body. Vincent grasps the essence of it and naturally uses [Rapid Movement].
Perhaps due to insufficient energy or his large body size his speed is only half of Slime's, and the duration isn't as long, but he's already ecstatic!
"I can actually use skills!"
Vincent grabbed Slime and gave it several big smooches. The jelly-like, springy touch almost made him bite it impulsively.
"Let's try other skills!"
He tried both [Rush] and [Spit Water] and found that neither worked well.
[Rush] feels like an amateur martial arts enthusiast throwing a sloppily executed lunge, only managing to make someone stumble a few meters away.
If [Rush] can be said to have some effect, then [Spit Water] is a problem. His internal energy doesn't have the Water Attribute, so he can't produce water out of thin air.
He needs to take a mouthful of water first to be able to properly use [Spit Water].
As for its power, if he retains a mouthful of water beforehand, the power is not bad, as it can create a bruise when hitting someone. But without retaining a mouthful of water beforehand, he can only spit saliva a few meters away.
It's quite useful for disgusting people.
Now he has a ranged skill for group fights.

Chapter 4
Jasper Patton summarized his three skills and found that the higher the proficiency level of a skill in the simulation, the greater the compatibility between the skill and his body, and the greater the power of the skill when he releases it.
Moreover, Jasper Patton felt that only after reaching mastery of the skill in the simulation, would he have a chance to master it in reality by himself.
"It's fine now, but what if I learn more restricted skills in the future, will I be unable to use them directly?"
"If it's a fireball, I think I can barely use it as a torch. As for Spitting Water, I think it's possible to carry a pot of water around, taking a sip and spitting it out. And Hypnosis Powder? I cannot always carry a few bottles of powdered sleep powder around, right? Then Amplification, Intimidation, Healing Technique, Teleportation…"
"I can feel the vibe of a Mage, who needs to prepare spell materials in advance to cast spells."
"In the future, my clothes must be filled with secret compartments, each containing materials. One pocket has gunpowder, another has sleep powder, a couple of bottles of Yunnan black medicine spray, and then some…"
His thoughts stopped there, and Vincent Wolf glanced at the still calm lake, not having much desire to linger here anymore.
After all, he would be able to enter the simulation once every day.
At this moment, Vincent Wolf thought of the old dragon at home, his heart pounding nervously.
"I haven't seen the old dragon angry in such a long time; it seems I have really upset it this time. Is it really going to beat me up?"
"No, I have to hurry home and say something nice, otherwise this old dragon can really beat someone up!"
Recalling the memory of the giant pits and charred corpses left by the dragon's claws and flames in Dragon Town, Vincent Wolf broke out into a cold sweat.
If the old dragon doesn't control its strength, someone could really die!
With that thought, Vincent Wolf quickly activated the return function on the Mysterious Realm Pass in his hand. A feeling of dizziness and weightlessness returned, and the next moment, he was back at the Mysterious Realm Registration Center.
"You came back quite early!" The girl at the counter was somewhat surprised.
"Heh, I've now taken control of this Mysterious Realm and no longer need to come here." Vincent Wolf walked out of the registration center with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and the Slime following with a bouncing gait.
The girl just stood there, dumbfounded.
As he left, Vincent barely heard the girl mutter "moron."
"Ah, mere mortals can never understand a god's realm!" Vincent shook his head and sighed.
The Slime also shook its "head" as if mimicking Vincent, but didn't do it as skillfully and rolled twice.
Vincent picked up the Slime, dusted off its body, and put it on top of his head.
It was cold and refreshing, like a water pillow, perfect for a day when autumn had arrived, yet the temperature still hovered around thirty degrees.
"Huh? What are they doing?"
Vincent saw more than ten people in the distance, both male and female, all looking angry, as they searched for something.
"They must be looking for revenge, huh. Hehe, I wonder which poor guy aroused their anger." Vincent was quite interested in watching the excitement.
At that moment, the group of people rushed over to Vincent, startling him.
"Over here!"
"Brothers and sisters, come quickly!"
"Finally found you after searching for so long!"
"Jerk! Having a Three-tailed Fox wasn't enough for you, so you also contracted a Slime!"
"Exactly! You could contract a higher Species Level but instead, you contracted a Slime! Isn't this an insult to the beasts!"
Speechless, Vincent realized he had made a fool of himself.
Upon thinking about it, he was the only one who could attract so many people due to his misfortune.
"What are you all doing here! Be careful, I'll report you to the school!"
The girl at the Mysterious Realm Registration Center came out and scolded them after seeing so many people gathering at the entrance.
"Grace Cohen, mind your own business! You don't like him either, do you?" The tall and beautiful girl at the forefront of the group, who had a cold demeanor, said angrily.
"I don't like him, but I dislike you all even more. Contracting or not contracting has nothing to do with you guys! Do you think you can win the Three-tailed Fox's favor and have a chance to contract it?" Grace Cohen was fearless, her voice crisp and powerful, providing a strong sense of reassurance.
Vincent did not expect Grace Cohen to support him, feeling somewhat puzzled but also touched.
He coughed twice, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention.
"First of all, uh-huh~, this matter, heh-heh-heh~~, is-, heh-heh-heh-heh~~~. Sorry, my throat is a bit hoarse. Can you let me buy a bottle of water? After buying one, I'll come back and explain the whole story to you."
Vincent spoke weakly, coughing three times within a single sentence.
The tall girl softened her stance, seeing a small store nearby, and decided that Vincent wouldn't be able to do much harm, so she agreed.
"Alright, you can buy a bottle of water, but don't try any tricks! We'll be watching you!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Vincent really went to buy a bottle of water without any extra actions.
"Now, can you explain properly?" They asked him.
Vincent smiled and suddenly turned around, slapped his butt and made a face.
"Explain my ass! I'm free to contract whoever I want, even your mother if I want!"
With that said, he ran!
It was so freaking exciting!
Everyone was stunned and then enraged, feeling a surge of blood, and their rational minds were filled with anger.
"Damn!"
"You, stop!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Luckily I'm prepared!" Vincent ran while unscrewing the cap of the mineral water bottle, took a big gulp, gargling as he went.
Then he turned his head.
Pu!
Pu!
Pu!
[Spit Water] was activated, and a stream of water pillars sprayed from Vincent's mouth. The crystal-clear water flickered with charming light under the sun.
The water pillars were accurate, with each one hitting the faces of the people following Vincent.
"Holy crap!"
"What's going on with this guy!"
"Ouch, it hurts! Don't shoot at the face!"
"Ah! So fierce! Even though it hurts, I kind of like it. What should I do!"
Seeing the few people in front covering their faces and crying in pain, the rest looked at each other uncertainly.
"You see! This is the end for those who do evil!" Vincent laughed loudly.
At this moment, a weak male student lying on the ground took off his coat and shakily handed it to the person standing behind him, with a hoarse voice.
"Don't be afraid! Comrades! Pass on our will!"
"Yes! Even in the face of bullets and gunfire, don't forget our beliefs!"
Influenced by the male student, the people on the ground all took off their clothes and passed them backward.
Each person who received the clothes had a more determined look in their eyes, as if they had found faith.
Watching as the crowd held their clothes in front of them, Vincent couldn't help but feel unnerved.
These people were serious!
They were even holding their underwear in front of them!!!

Shoot!
"Slime, you stay and cover me! Remember not to hit anyone, if a pet beast hits someone, the Beast Master will be punished!"
Vincent Wolf tossed the Slime on his head back, activated [Rapid Movement, and ran away faster than a 100-meter sprinter.
Seeing that they couldn't catch up to Vincent Wolf and that "the third man" had been thrown at them, they could only surround the Slime. Their fierce looks could stop a child's tears!
The Slime was trembling with fear, surrounded by the group. Finally, with a crisp "plop", it lay down to the side, pretending to be unconscious.
Then a white light flashed, and Slime was recalled back into the Beast Space.
These people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Was our mission… a failure?"
"Not really, at least we showed him our Extinguishing Forture Club's spirit."
Someone hesitated to say:
"Actually, I think he had a point. What kind of pet beast he contracts with doesn't really matter to us. Do we really need to mess with him?"
"Yeah, we can't beat him, and we can't outrun him. Plus, we're not allowed to use pet beasts to fight in school."
"But if we quit, we won't get any more saliva."
"I've had enough of you, you creepy girl!"
"Enough!" The tall girl shouted.
"What's so arrogant about you? Doesn't everyone know that you are just using an excuse to trouble him because you were rejected after confessing?"
"Weren't you?"
The girls argued with each other without caring, leaving the boys feeling offended.
They gathered to one side and discussed quietly.
"Hey, you think we're gonna stay in this Extinguishing Forture Club?"
"Stay your ass, I wonder why there are so many girls here, turns out they all got rejected after confessing."
"Oh, then I guess I'll stay."
"What are you staying for, trying to get ahead? That's not a bad idea."
"No, I was rejected too."
"???"
…
"Finally got away."
Vincent Wolf leaned against a tree trunk, panting, looking back to see that there was no one around. Then he sat down, exhausted.
Although he had the [Rapid Movement] skill, Vincent Wolf was just an Apprentice Beast Master with little energy. Slime's help was crucial for him to shake them off.
Its growth level had been upgraded to Awakening Level 4, providing Vincent with some energy feedback and physical feedback.
Today was Saturday, and there weren't many people in the campus.
After a short break, Vincent left the campus safely without encountering any students who wanted to cause him trouble.
Walking on the street, he habitually took out his mask and put it on, then pulled up the hoodie of his coat.
A Schrödinger's stalker/sociopath/arsonist/assassin was born.
Though this disguise might bring some risks, like accidentally getting arrested as a stalker by a security officer, or mistakenly being captured by a tracking criminal, it was better than being constantly stopped and chatted up or frequented by talent scouts.
In the Beastmaster World, pet beasts are the main productivity, and there is not much difference between men and women in this respect. So, in this world, the ratio of female to male Beast Masters is half and half.This led to a world where, since ancient times, men and women had always taken turns ruling the world, with a high degree of gender equality. In marriage, whoever was stronger would be dominant – if the man was stronger, he would marry the woman, and if the woman was stronger, she would marry the man.
Vincent Wolf had seen himself in the mirror.
He possessed a well-balanced and slender figure, fair and delicate skin, a delicate face with clearly defined and deep facial features, and a pair of clear and captivating eyes that seemed like a pool of clear spring water.
Not to mention his entire temperament was like that of the earth – inclusive and amiable, which made people like him instinctively.
Even Vincent couldn't help but praise himself, as he was undoubtedly born to be a king.
He felt that the reason the little fox was willing to agree to a contract in advance was because of his appearance.
"How superficial, for truly beneath the skin and flesh of blue powder skeletons and white bones is illusion, and all turns to ashes within a hundred years," Vincent sighed at this thought.
A young girl who was walking her little wind dog nearby immediately refuted him when she heard this:
"That's wrong! Grandmaster Beast masters can live for two hundred years!"
"Then it's all turned to ashes in two hundred years."
"King-level Beast Masters can live for five hundred years!"
"Hey, you little brat, are you a nitpicker?"
Vincent rolled up his sleeves.
"Eek! Little wind dog, protect me!"
The girl hurriedly hid behind the little wind dog, but the little wind dog also wanted to hide behind her, and the two little creatures began playing a game of hide and seek.
Seeing this, Vincent was no longer angry. He took off his mask, smiled at her with his elfin face, ruffled her hair, put his mask back on, and continued on his way home, leaving the girl standing there, dazed.
After a while, the girl's face turned red as she jumped up and started running in the opposite direction of Vincent. Her speed was so fast that she almost dragged the little wind dog along with her.
As she ran, she cried out, "Sister! I met an angel!"
…
Before long, Vincent arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard and removed his mask and hoodie.
The courtyard was elegantly and neatly decorated, with a beautiful two-story building standing inside. Behind the building was a tilled plot of land with some vegetables and refreshing, pleasant flowers planted on it.
He carefully pushed open the door, peeking around cautiously. Seeing that Dragon Town was not present, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Lizard isn't here. He can't blame me now. I followed your instructions by coming here, but you're not here, so there's nothing I can do."
After saying that, Vincent Wolf leisurely hummed a tune and turned to leave.
"Well, well, Vincent, your courage has grown in the few days I haven't seen you."
A palm-sized lizard with wings on its back slowly floated into the air, with a collar around its neck dutifully translating the Dragon Chant into Chinese.
"Damn, how could I have forgotten Old Lizard's [Doubling]!"
Vincent inwardly cursed his luck, but outwardly put on a flattering smile.
"How could you, such a great, great, great, Real Dragon Emperor, have misheard me? Perhaps it's because my lowly voice cannot reach your mighty ears, like you who suppressed the ages, unparalleled, The Only One in the Universe…"
"Enough, enough!" Flattery might work, but it didn't in this case, as Dragon Town's split-mouthed grin was the best evidence.
Dragon Town enlarged its body to half its original size, and its two-meter-long body displayed tight, powerful muscles, resembling steel. Its thick claws were sharp, and its large dragon head had two rows of sharp teeth that gleamed with a cold light, intimidating others.
"Is this what a High-Level Commander looks like? Just the power it unconsciously exerts is so strong, it's terrifying."
Having just arrived in the Beastmaster World two days ago, Vincent had no firsthand experience of how strong high-race Level Pet Beasts were.
Now that he saw it, the reputation was truly not in vain.
You see, Dragon Town looked similar to a real dragon on the surface, but it was actually just a Pseudo-Dragon with a trace of dragon blood in it.
With this in mind, one could imagine how terrifying pet-beasts with high-level bloodlines were.

"Vincent, have you figured out how to apologize to Flora Gates?" Dragon Town asked, baring its teeth.
Vincent chuckled awkwardly, not answering.
"You don't think you don't have to apologize, do you?" Dragon Town's dragon head moved closer to Vincent, its huge eyes full of coldness.
"Of course not, I will definitely apologize. I just haven't prepared the apology gift yet," Vincent could only reply sincerely.
"That's more like it." Dragon Town finally moved its head away.
A man and a dragon stared at each other, speechless.
"Do you… regret it?" Dragon Town asked slowly, its tone gentle, its body appearing more relaxed than before.
"Regret? What is there to regret?" Vincent didn't know what Dragon Town was asking.
"The fact that you gave up the Three-tailed Fox bloodline and chose the elusive [Dimension Summon] to contract your initial pet beast."
"How could I possibly regret a choice I made myself?"
Vincent continued to speak.
"It's been eight years since the night when you brought my father's corpse to me and roared those words."
"Live well! And become stronger!"
He paused for a moment after saying this.
"The Three-tailed Fox is a high-level commander, very powerful, just like you. But what's the use? Can it help me get revenge?"
"You, a pet beast with such strength, have never talked to me about revenge. I don't even know who my enemy is."
"Now I have waited for eight years. How many more years will it take to cultivate the Three-tailed Fox to your level? How many years will it take to achieve an even higher level?"
"There are two choices in front of me."
"The first is to follow the path step by step, not knowing how many years later, not knowing how hard I must struggle to win an elusive hope."
"The second is a tangible hope."
"If I had to choose again, I would still choose the second one."
Having said all this in one breath, Vincent looked directly at Dragon Town, the determination in his eyes moved Dragon Town.
"Hahaha!"
Dragon Town laughed wildly, the booming laughter causing the ground to tremble slightly.
"Good!"
"A true man should be like this! Daring to act and take responsibility!"
"It's just…what a pity." Dragon Town finished speaking and a pure white, jade-like bracelet appeared on its right claw wrist.
Dragon Town took off the bracelet and handed it to a curious Vincent.
"This is your father's Space Bracelet, containing all his savings."
"The reason I'm giving you this Space Bracelet now is that it can only be used when you have a Beast Space and have energy in it."
Vincent took the bracelet, and the moment he put it on his wrist, it began to shrink, fitting snugly around his wrist.
He input a bit of energy into the bracelet, which started to glow and then slowly became invisible, disappearing from sight.
However, Vincent could still sense the bracelet even after it disappeared. He explored inside it with his consciousness, immediately stunned by the abundant resources.
The entire Space Bracelet has a size of 5x5x5 meters, with the lowest grade resources being high-level extraordinary and the highest grade resources being three high-level commander-level resources.
There were also hundreds of different attribute Crystal Stones, two Beast Techniques, and some potions used by Beast Masters.
Seeing Vincent shocked by the items inside, Dragon Town said:
"Since you've made the wrong bet, forget about revenge. They don't know your identity for now, and even if they find out, they won't bother dealing with you if you don't have any achievements. Just live a peaceful life as a rich man."
"If you don't want to continue on the path of a Beast Master, the resources inside should be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."
"How did I make the wrong bet? And why does it sound like you don't want me to be a Beast Master?" Vincent was a bit puzzled.
"Didn't you use [Dimension Summon] to bet on a pet beast that's better than the Three-tailed Fox? Now you only have a Slime that's your initial pet beast. What kind of Beast Master will you be in the future? You might as well go back to farming."
"When did I say that Slime is worse than the Three-tailed Fox?" Vincent was even more confused.
Dragon Town almost fainted from anger.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Are you saying Slime is stronger than the Three-tailed Fox? I've never heard of a pet beast's intelligence affecting its Beast Master. Is Slime's hidden Trait?"
Vincent, feeling discontented, hurriedly summoned Sam the Slime.
"Sam, show him what you can do!"
As soon as Sam landed, it immediately used [Rapid Movement, its speed so fast that one could only see a faint blue afterimage weaving through the air.
"Again!"
Next, Sam used [Rush] and [Spit Water].
Seeing Dragon Town's eyes wide open and its face full of disbelief, Vincent straightened his back, proud to have a laugh.
Strong? I trained it myself!
"Vincent, are you sure you've only had this Slime for two days?"
"That's right."
"It can use three abilities in just two days? And have all of them mastered? That [Rapid Movement] is almost at the perfect level."
Dragon Town was genuinely astonished. "You must know that for an average pet beast, it takes half a year to a year to master one ability. And to reach the Perfect Level, a pet beast without extraordinary talent cannot achieve it in a lifetime!"
Vincent thought to himself: "These abilities were all trained by me. If I had to rely on Sam, I'd be grateful if he could even master one in a lifetime."
"It seems that your Slime is indeed extraordinary. It's just a pity that its species level is too low to start with. It would take too much effort to change it, and it's not worth it." Dragon Town shook its head in regret.
"Well, that may not be true."
Vincent described Sam's talent skill [Devour] for Dragon Town to hear.
"This…"
Dragon Town didn't know what to say.
"Do you still think the Three-tailed Fox is stronger than Sam now?" Vincent raised an eyebrow, grinning mischievously.
"Ahem, you still need to apologize for what you should apologize for; as for the rest… I'm old, you can decide for yourself." Dragon Town said after a cough.
Vincent knew that he had persuaded Dragon Town and was overjoyed. He immediately grabbed Dragon Town's claw and led it to the two-story building.
"Old Lizard, I have a bold idea. Will you try it with me?"
"No, no, no! Little master, I don't want to throw up again!" Dragon Town's face turned pale, and its giant body trembled uncontrollably.
"Be good, just take a bite, taste it, or even lick it!"
"But it's not something a pet beast should eat!"
"Don't be afraid, I've already improved it; I guarantee it suits the taste of dragon-type pet beasts!"
"But you said the same thing last time!"
"It doesn't matter; a pet beast won't die from eating it. It's just some pet beast food. You're four meters tall. You shouldn't be afraid."
"But just because I'm tall doesn't mean I can eat poison as if it's a meal! Don't you taste your own creations?"
"Why would I eat something meant for the pet beast? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Chapter 7
In the end, Dragon Town used [Amplification] and shrank down before running away.
"Is it really that disgusting?"
Clutching a bowl of purple, slurry-like pet food, Vincent Wolf felt doubtful.
His previous life enjoyed the profession of a Beast Master and frequently tried to make pet food.
He had also felt that his previous life's technique was not very good, so he had slightly improved it himself, believing that his skill had improved significantly compared to before.
"No taste buds." Vincent Wolf put the bowl of pet beast food aside and took out two Beast Techniques from his Space Bracelet.
One was a Lower-grade Beast Technique: Guardian.
The other one was surprisingly a high-quality Beast Taming Technique: Disappearance.
Beast Taming Techniques are the skills of a Beast Master, and their levels are divided into Lower-grade, Medium-grade, High-grade, and Top-grade.
They correspond to professional Beast Masters, Master-level Beast Masters, Grandmaster-level Beast Masters, and King-level Beast Masters.
Apprentice Beast Masters are unable to use Beast Techniques because they have just opened up their Beast Space, and their energy is limited.
Legendary Beast Masters are not given such techniques because no one can produce techniques corresponding to this level.
Every Beast Technique is a consumable item that can only be used once. A single book can only teach one person, making it extremely valuable. A higher-level Beast Master will have to spend tremendous mental power to make it, and after producing it once, the Beast Master will not be able to cultivate through meditation for a year.
From this, we can see how valuable it is.
It can even be said that the value of this high-quality Beast Taming Technique in the Space Bracelet is several times higher than all the other items combined.
This high-quality Beast Technique corresponds to the Grand Master Beast Trainers who have growth levels reaching Monarch-Level Pet Beasts. There are not many people in the entire city who possess this level.
Vincent Wolf strongly suspected that this Beast Technique was the direct cause of his cheap old man's death.
At first glance, these two Beast Techniques do not seem to have anything special. They are just two thin booklets that introduce the effects of the corresponding Beast Techniques, instructions for use, and suitable occasions for use. However, there are no cultivation methods in them.
However, Vincent knew that as long as he reached the corresponding level of Beast Master and then infiltrated his spiritual power into the booklets, he would be able to learn the Beast Techniques contained within them.
He tried to guide his spirit into these two booklets, but as expected, he did not qualify to cultivate them.
However, he managed to slightly activate the Guardian Technique. He estimated that after increasing his Beast Master level by a few levels, he might barely meet the learning standards.
Looking at the various resources in his Space Bracelet, Vincent hesitated whether or not to feed them to the Slime. These resources were at the very least high-level Extraordinary, and he was afraid that Slime would not be able to digest them and burst from being too full.
"But Slime has the innate skill [Devour, can it still burst?"
"Forget it. Even if it doesn't burst, it will directly advance to the Transcendent level, which would waste a good opportunity."
The awakening period of pet beasts is equivalent to their growth period. Stepping into the Extraordinary level represents adulthood.
During the transition from the growth period to adulthood, pet beasts will strengthen their species level according to their skills, battle experience, skill proficiency, and energy intensity during the growth period.
There will be only one such chance in a pet beast's life to easily breakthrough their potential, so it cannot be simply wasted.
"Besides, I am only a level 1 Apprentice Beast Master right now, and my Beast Space cannot accommodate a Transcendent level pet beast."
"However, I have a lot of amplification potions for meditation in my Space Bracelet, enough for me to rapidly increase my level to a professional Beast Master."
"I'll meditate tonight. Right now is the weekend, so I don't have to go to school. I can focus on resolving the little fox's issue first; otherwise, not only will those envious guys at school be restless, but I'm afraid this one at home won't let me go."
Thinking about this, he got a headache. He simply stopped thinking about it. After making a rough meal, Vincent Wolf went downstairs to prepare to go to the Los Angeles Breeding House.
Outside the courtyard at this time.
A little girl crouched sneakily outside Vincent Wolf's house, and a naive half-sized puppy next to her kept wagging its tail.
The little girl pinched the small dog's nose, "Little Wind Dog, are you sure it's here?"
"Woof woof!" Woof woof, indeed! My nose is the most sensitive!"Hmph, big sister doesn't believe me. I only lied to her once, twice… more than ten times, but she's so distrustful of me." The girl wrinkled her little nose, pointing her phone at the yard gate.
"Now I have a photo as proof, let's see if you still laugh at me!" The little girl laughed hehehe, as if she had thought of something fun.
"Woof." The little wind dog whispered as a reminder; the target was approaching.
The little girl snapped out of it, quickly adjusting her phone camera, while hiding herself further in the shadows.
Vincent Wolf opened the yard gate and just after stepping out, he heard a "click", followed by a flash that lit up for a moment before extinguishing.
He only heard a "Darn it, forgot to turn it off!" from the corner and then he used [Rapid Movement] to block the escaping little girl with lightning speed.
Seeing her way blocked, the little girl quickly hid her phone behind her back with her small hands, tilting her head to one side and whistling nonchalantly.
"The weather is really nice today, isn't it, little wind dog?"
"Woof woof!"
"How did our walk end up here? I guess we've been walking too long, big sister must be worried, let's hurry back."
"Woof woof!"
"Goodbye, big brother!"
"Woof woof!"
Looking at the little Lolita and the little wind dog performing in turn, Vincent felt that his annoying headache was being cured.
"Alright, stop acting. Do you really think I couldn't notice such a big flash? Don't worry, I have no intention to cause trouble."
"Big brother, you're so kind. You really are an angel."
"I'm an angel?"
"Angels are legendary pet beasts that bring happiness to humans. When I saw big brother, I felt really happy. Aren't you an angel?"
Vincent stared at the innocent Lolita, whose eyes were sparkling with stars and thought, "She's so good at flirting at such a young age. I wonder how many innocent boys she'll corrupt in the future. It's truly infuriating!"
"Little sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Clare Franco, but you can call me Clare. What's your name, big brother?"
"My name is Vincent Wolf. Alright, I've got things to do. You go play by yourself." Finishing, Vincent turned to leave.
"Wait!" Clare quickly said.
"What else do you want?"
"I want to take a selfie with big brother." Clare said, coyly swaying her twin black ponytails.
"Alright."
Vincent squatted down, and Clare tiptoed to hook her neck over his, making a "V" sign. Her little face was beaming, full of sunshine and cuteness.
"Satisfied?"
"Yes, very good!"
Clare looked more and more satisfied with the photo on her phone, her eyes squinting with a smile.
"Bye bye."
"Goodbye, big brother!"
As he turned to leave, after just a few steps, he had a feeling and looked back, finding Clare squatting in the corner, her face shrouded in shadows, with only her sinister grin visible and the occasional hehe laughter reaching his ears.
Vincent shivered and slightly regretted taking the photo. He hurriedly put on his hoodie and face mask, and quickly slipped away with a short jog.

"Finally, I can prove it to my sister!"
After admiring the photo on her phone for a while, Clare Franco sent it to her sister.
"You always argue with me, let's see what you have to say now!"
Time: 11:00 AM
[Clare: Sis, I saw an Angel!]
[Mary Hale:?]
[Mary Hale: Did you just wake up?]
[Clare: No! It's a real person!]
[Mary Hale: Okay, I got it.]
[Clare: That's more like it.]
[Clare: Wait, you don't believe me, do you!]
[Mary Hale: (laughing(*︶)) I believe you, I believe you.]
[Clare: (皿) Damn it, I knew you wouldn't believe me, I will prove it!]
Time: 2:00 PM
[Clare: Stinky older sister, I declare I want to sever our blood relationship, and have our big brother inherit your bloodline!]
[Clare: Picture.JPG]
[Mary Hale:?]
[Mary Hale: Why did you send me a picture of your brother-in-law? You don't have a crush on him, do you? That's not appropriate.]
[Clare:?]
[Clare:?]
[Clare:?]
[Mary Hale: Stop, don't send anymore question marks, I'm just teasing you.]
[Clare: 凸(艹皿艹)]
[Clare: Mary Hale, when I get home, I'll find all the little h-books hidden in your room and show them to mom!]
[Mary Hale: I don't care. I'll buy more.]
[Clare: Including those hidden ones about the love triangle between the Ocean Spirit, Earth Lord, and the Primordial World Tree!]
[Mary Hale:?!]
[Mary Hale: How did you find out!]
[Mary Hale: Good sister! Just this one! Please! That's the globally customized limited-edition luxury supreme version, which I got only after risking my life several times!]
[Mary Hale: Five times the pocket money.]
[Clare: Ten times.]
[Mary Hale: Fine, twenty times! Deal!]
In an unknown Mysterious Realm, towering trees stood straight up, blocking out the sun. The dense shade shielded the rising sun as Mary Hale hid herself, looking anxious.
"This damned brat, she actually found my collection of books and threatened me with it! It seems that when I get home, I must show the dignity of being an elder sister."
"But this handsome guy is indeed good-looking. Hehe, when I get home, I'll Photoshopped this brat out and replace her with myself. Slurp, no, my saliva is about to flow out."
Mary Hale wiped off her saliva and stared at Vincent Wolf's face, feeling more and more familiar as she looked at him.
"Do I know him? No, how can I forget such a good-looking boy?" She thought to herself but couldn't figure out, so she opened her phone gallery and swiped up one by one.
When she was halfway through, she stopped and looked back and forth between the two photos.
"This…"
Mary Hale's expression turned serious as she released her colored glass butterfly.
With a low hum, the colored glass butterfly emerged from the contract array. Its nearly four-meter-long wings spread like exquisite and gorgeous glass, and its figure was dreamy and illusory. It even had a trace of the bloodline of the Blue Phoenix inside, making it a genuine high-level Commander Species.
"It's time to get serious."
The colored glass butterfly sensed its master's mood through the Beast Space and knew that it was time for it to show off its skills.
…
Sitting on the subway, Vincent Wolf sighed a bit.
Indeed, the power of technology was still quite strong. At least ordinary people didn't choose pet beasts for transportation, but subways instead.
The subway's maximum speed was 160 kilometers per hour, which was almost 45 meters per second.
Although Vincent knew that many pet beasts could easily exceed this speed even with low levels, most of them couldn't carry people at high speed. Even if they could, humans couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure caused by such speed.
So, Vincent didn't understand some cultivation novels where society remained in the agricultural era even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Did they underestimate human creativity or human laziness?
Even if there were cultivators controlling things, couldn't they also create some of these technological products?
After thinking about it, Vincent could only attribute it to the fact that the world didn't allow it.
He was bored on the subway, lost in thought, while people around him looked at him with apprehension.
"This guy has hidden himself well, and his eyes aren't focused. He must be thinking about stabbing someone. Better stay away!" People around him thought secretly.
Suddenly, Vincent's gaze sharpened, and those around him felt their hearts tighten.
They saw a man and a woman in the crowded subway, standing back-to-back with odd expressions, and secretly reaching their right hands towards each other's bottoms, both touching each other's buttocks at the same time.
The two quickly retracted their hands, turned to look at each other, and shared an awkward smile.
Then they exchanged contact information.
The subway door opened, and the two walked out arm-in-arm.
Since coming to this world, Vincent had been shocked countless times, but he swore that this event ranked in his top five most shocking experiences.
"Is there something wrong with this world, or is it me?"
"If there's something wrong with the world, and I'm not the problem, doesn't that mean that the person who actually has a problem is me, and the world…there's nothing wrong with it?"
Feeling dizzy, Vincent got off the subway and subconsciously headed towards the Los Angeles Breeding House.
He was initially dissatisfied with his previous self but now filled with gratitude.
"The women of this world are too ferocious. Luckily, you only loved pet beasts and not women. Otherwise, I might have had my waist squeezed dry by now."
"No, if you loved women, the reason for my transmigration wouldn't be dying of excitement, but dying from too much sex."
"Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't I be dying again as soon as I transmigrated here?"
Feeling fearful, Vincent quickly put the terrifying thought out of his mind.
"I must become a man who abides by the moral code and maintains self-discipline in the future. Otherwise, I might die young. That's too scary; I haven't even seen many pet beasts yet!"
Unknowingly, Vincent had already arrived at the entrance of the Los Angeles Breeding House.
The name of the breeding house was [Los Angeles Breeding House, which meant that it was the largest breeding house in the entire city of Los Angeles.
The breeding house covered a wide area, at least hundreds of square kilometers. It encompassed various ecological environments, with one to two hundred species of pet beasts and a total population of hundreds of thousands. Among them, there were a large number of High-Level Commanders and even a few Monarch-Level Pet Beasts.
Stepping through the tall archway, Vincent Wolf skillfully waited for the Breeding House bus.
Since the entire breeding house was too large, and people couldn't cover such a distance on foot alone, the release of pet beasts inside the breeding house was also forbidden to prevent unnecessary panic among the pet beasts. Therefore, several buses were arranged to facilitate people's travel.
After waiting for a short while, a small bus with the [Los Angeles Breeding House] logo drove over. Next to the bus were a few High-Level Extraordinary Wind and Thunder Eagles serving as escorts.

Chapter 9
The bus door opened and Vincent Wolf stepped in. As he was about to walk to the back, the driver blocked his way with an outstretched arm.
"Do you still need to charge a fee on the bus in the Breeding House?"
The driver shook his head and said, "We don't charge a fee, but with the clothes you're wearing, I'm afraid security will think you're a pet trafficker and take you away."
Realizing the issue, Vincent quickly pulled down his hoodie and removed his face mask.
Even though it was autumn, the bright afternoon sun still made the temperature uncomfortably hot, especially for someone wearing as many clothes as Vincent. Sweat had already formed on his forehead.
At this moment, a few strands of hair clung to his forehead, his dazzling skin reflected an enchanting glow under the sunlight, and the sweltering heat added a faint blush to his perfect features, making him appear even more handsome yet unique.
Suddenly, the hearts of the passengers inside the bus seemed to skip a beat, then began to race uncontrollably.
"This is much more comfortable," Vincent continued to walk toward the back but found the driver still blocking his path.
"You should put everything back on."
"Are you kidding me?"
Soon after, under the driver's insistence, Vincent reluctantly put his mask back on.
He found a seat and was about to take out his phone, but four or five girls tried to sit next to him.
His enthusiasm for browsing his phone diminished as he became engrossed in watching the all-female action movie unfolding before him.
After a fierce battle, a busty girl emerged victorious. She sat down, panting and glanced at the young man next to her, who was resting his chin on his hand. The courage she had earlier seemed to have vanished, and now she was contemplating how to escape.
"You're amazing. Did you practice martial arts?" Vincent asked with interest.
"No, I'm a professional beast tamer, so my physical fitness is better than most," the busty girl said softly, lowering her head.
"A professional beast tamer? That's even more impressive!" Vincent's enthusiasm heightened. "What kind of pet beasts do you have, big sister?"
"Big sister…" The busty girl shuddered as if she had flipped a switch.
"What's wrong, big sister?"
"…Ah, I only became a professional beast tamer not too long ago. My starter pet beast is the High-Level Extraordinary Species, the Fire Blasting Piglet."
"I'm here to find a good pet beast to contract with. Ideally, I'd like a Commander-level pet beast."
The busty girl escaped from her reverie and became excited at the prospect of her future pet beasts.
"Fire Blasting Piglet," Vincent recalled, "Its evolved forms are the Exploding Piglet and the Flying Piglet, right? Apparently, one is a Fire Attribute Low-Level Commander and the other is a Flying Attribute Low-Level Commander. They both sound pretty good."
After hearing this, the girl became disheartened. "The resources for Low-Level Commanders are too expensive. I have to save for a while before I can afford the down payment."
Indeed, even in this world, there are young people burdened by loans. Beast Tamers burn money at every step of the way, and maintaining multiple pet beasts takes a lot of money.
Daily training, specially customized pet beast food, Energy Fruits essential for enhancing pet beasts' potential, Spirit potion for increasing Beast Tamers' spiritual strength, indispensable Beast Techniques, and institutions that provide specialized teaching of pet beast skills, as well as the required evolution resources for pet beast evolution – all these add up.
Even if Vincent now had the Space Bracelet left to him by his cheap old father, without his [Simulation] Talent, he still couldn't say how far he could go on this path.
Unless he was willing to latch onto a wealthy woman's thigh.
The two chatted casually, and time passed quickly. In just a few stops, they would arrive at Wild Fox Plain.
As the girl saw the Wild Fox Plain on the bus's display screen, she seemed to remember something and said to Vincent:
"Have you heard? The House Treasure Three-Tailed Fox in the Breeding House has regained its contractual status. Today, a bunch of people went to Wild Fox Plain and ended up getting a hard lesson from the Intermediate Command Level Ice White Fox."
"Oh? Is that so?" Vincent hadn't heard about this and paid close attention.
"Yeah, you're not also planning to try your luck in Wild Fox Plain, are you?" the busty girl half-jokingly asked.
"Of course! That's a High-Level Commander, after all. Aren't you interested?"
"Well, if I were lucky enough to get a Low-Level Commander, I'd be satisfied. After all, with that, I would have the opportunity to become a Master-level Beast Master! Also, after the Ice White Fox got angry, it said that only those who have received an invitation may go to Wild Fox Plain, or else they will be driven away. Did you receive an invitation?"
"An invitation? I don't need one." Vincent thought, I'm here to offer a gift, not to get married. What invitation would I need? Then he asked, "Do you know who the previous contract holder of the Three-Tailed Fox is?"
"I heard it's a high school senior. People said he was either threatened by a capitalist or some noble, and he was forced to give up his contract. It's a shame. When can ordinary people stand up?"
"That's just a persecution fantasy. He just wasn't thinking straight and gave up the contract." Vincent shook his head, surprised at how quickly the rumors spread. All he could say was that the capitalists were scapegoated on a daily basis.
"Do you know him? It seems like you're quite familiar with him," the busty girl asked.
"Do you know the name of the person who gave up the contract?"
"I think it's called…"
As the bus approached the stop, Vincent stood up and whispered in the girl's ear as he passed by, "His name is Vincent Wolf, the same as mine."
…
Wild Fox Plain was a vast expanse of lush vegetation and fragrant flowers where many fox species thrived, such as the low-level species like the Moonlight Fox and the little Fire Fox, as well as Command-level species like the Ice White Fox and the Illusionary Dream Fox.
As Vincent entered Wild Fox Plain, the foxes scattered in surprise but slowly approached him once they recognized his familiar scent.
Just before entering the Wild Fox Plain, Vincent had removed his mask. With no people around, there was no need to wear a mask, and these foxes couldn't tell the difference between an attractive or ugly human face anyway. Wearing the mask just made him look like a strange man.
Dozens of little foxes flocked around him, their fluffy tails brushing against his ankles occasionally, creating a tickling sensation that felt quite pleasant.
The foxes here had a certain level of Spiritual Wisdom and could usually control the release of unpleasant smells from their scent glands. This meant they didn't smell bad.
On the contrary, they carried a pleasant aroma from the flowers in the area.
But this situation didn't last long. A sharp fox cry reached Vincent's ears, causing his ears to ring and scaring away all the little foxes around him.
"So you're the ungrateful wretch! My daughter adored you, yet you treated her like this!" Along with the fox's cry, another mechanical and monotonous translation came from a distance.

Chapter 10
"Well, well, mother and daughter have the same translator, huh?" Vincent Wolf muttered in his heart.
"So stingy, not even willing to buy one with tonal emotion. This kind of translator makes cursing dull. Which is not like the one Old Lizard has. Even if you don't know the words, you can tell if he's cursing or being sarcastic."
A two-meter-long Ice White Fox, with a pale blue coat of fur and a swirl of shallow mist, quickly ran to Vincent Wolf, looking down at him from a higher position.
"Aunt Nora, you're slandering me. When did I ever end things abruptly, be fickle and indecisive, give up easily, disappoint, and know when to back off?" Vincent Wolf stood there, speaking with grievance.
"Huh?" Nora Gates didn't react for a moment, standing there dumbfounded. She had just wanted to curse at him but forgot how to do it.
"Forget it. Since you're my elder, I won't hold you accountable for slandering me. Where's Flora Gates? I have a big treasure for her, so let her come to meet me quickly. If not, you'll suffer the consequences."
Vincent Wolf was still full of himself, not realizing he had actually come to apologize.
"You little rascal, how dare you be so arrogant? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have that old dragon on your side. He's just got a trace of Dragon Bloodline, that's all. What could he do if I beat you up today?" Aunt Nora was furious.
"What do you think? A retainer should die for his lord's insult. If I'm humiliated now, do you think my Dragon Town would let you off the hook?" Vincent Wolf remained confident.
"Even if I can't beat him, I could hide here. A high-level commander dares to cause trouble?" Aunt Nora scoffed.
"Even if Dragon Town wouldn't dare, what about his parents and relatives? He's got a Dragon Bloodline, and his ancestors were dragons. If Dragon Town invited the ancestors out, this small Los Angeles Breeding House would be gone." Vincent Wolf continued to bluff.
"…" Aunt Nora was silent. She didn't believe a word Vincent Wolf said, but just for beating up this kid once, she would have to live in fear for god knows how many days to come. It wasn't worth it.
Heaven have mercy. She was just a small Ice White Fox from the Middle Fox Tribe. Her daughter, the Three-Tailed Fox, was born after a mutation from mating with a Flame Fox for breeding purposes.
With no family power or background, the mother and daughter struggled to survive in this small Breeding House, and now they were being bullied by the younger generation. It was heartbreaking to see and hear of it.
She felt that her fox life was almost over, and she didn't want to live anymore.
Suddenly, Aunt Nora shook her huge fox's body, and when she turned around, she saw Vincent Wolf holding and stroking her fluffy tail.
"What are you staring at? Can't I just borrow it to cool off a bit?" Vincent Wolf snapped angrily.
Aunt Nora looked up to the heavens with tears streaming down her face. She suddenly pulled her tail out of Vincent Wolf's embrace and then activated a skill to run away even faster than when she arrived.
"I will have my revenge, wuu wuu wuu~"
"Tell me where Flora Gates is first!"
"I don't care.ヽ(Д)ﾉ"
Watching the Ice White Fox run away without a trace, Vincent Wolf slumped to the ground, pinching his trembling thigh.
"I finally fooled that stupid fox away. If she hadn't left, my cover would have been blown."
Vincent Wolf started complaining about Dragon Town.
"That Old Lizard just wanted me to come here and get beaten up. Thank god I was smart and quick enough to react. Otherwise, with that silly fox's attitude, I would have been bedridden for a week."
After rubbing his scared and trembling thigh, he looked at the vast plain before him, lost in thought.
"Am I supposed to find a fox that's not even as tall as my knee in this huge area?"
That was a problem.
…
"Hi, dear Miss Flora Gates!" Vincent Wolf greeted warmly, with a smile as bright as the sun.
After the Ice White Fox left, Vincent Wolf managed to calm down the frightened little foxes around him. Then, using his experience of animal language when he transformed into a pet beast in the Simulation, he gestured for a while before making them understand that he was entrusted by the Ice White Fox to find Flora Gates.
With the help of a group of adorable and helpful little foxes, Vincent Wolf finally met Flora Gates.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome!" Flora Gates looked at Vincent Wolf vigilantly, with the three tails behind her standing up.
"I'm sorry, I thought we had become good friends after spending so much time together. It seems I was being presumptuous."
Vincent Wolf sat down on the ground, hugged his knees, lowered his head, made a sad face, and tried to squeeze out a few tears.
The little foxes around him comforted Vincent Wolf, making a few whimpers from time to time.
"What friends? You abandoned me already!" Flora Gates looked at the loneliness around her and said uneasily.
"Indeed, I abandoned you. Ah, if it weren't for those damned capitalist aristocrats, how could I have…never mind, I'll just go." Vincent Wolf acted heartbroken.
He slowly got up and turned around. Just then, he heard an anxious voice from Flora Gates.
"How come? Someone threatened you?"
Vincent Wolf's mouth curled up, but as he turned back, his expression was that of grief and sadness.
"Yeah, if it's just a threat to me, it's nothing. I can face it alone. Even if I were to be buried in cement, I wouldn't compromise."
As Vincent Wolf spoke, his expression was firm, but in the blink of an eye, he changed back to that miserable look and continued:
"But my family has elderly pet beasts. I've been an orphan since I was a child, and it's all thanks to the hard work of old pet beasts that I grew up. I can't let them suffer in their old age!"
"Besides…" At this point, Vincent Wolf couldn't say anything further due to his sobs.
"Besides what?" Flora Gates cooperated with Vincent Wolf at the right moment.
"Besides, he also threatened to hurt you if I don't comply! With our deep bond, how could I put you in danger?"
Vincent Wolf wiped away his tears, gently embraced Flora Gates, and lovingly stroked her white, smooth back and tail.
In Flora Gates' inexperienced heart, Vincent Wolf's remorse for misunderstanding, her own guilt, and her newfound admiration for Vincent Wolf's noble character filled her. The overwhelming emotions enveloped the three-tailed fox's mind, leaving her at a loss.
Vincent Wolf let go of Flora Gates. While she was not paying attention, he took a delicate gift box from the Space Bracelet and gently placed it in front of her.
"What's this?" Flora Gates asked, looking at the gift box.
"Actually, I came to apologize to you this time." Vincent Wolf signaled Flora Gates to open it.
"I did such a treacherous thing, and now I don't even expect your forgiveness. I just hope to make some compensation. Please don't refuse, or else I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

Chapter 11
Flora Gates opened the gift box, and the contents made her tremble inside.
It was a high-level extraordinary Superpower Core, which was suitable for her awakening and breakthrough to extraordinary use with her Super Power attribute.
However, these things were not important. What was important was that this Superpower Core had an external selling price of at least tens of thousands of Cathay currency.
During the time Vincent Wolf got to know her, he had been very thrifty, and Flora also knew that Vincent was actually an orphan and very poor. To buy this Superpower Core, he must have spent all his fortune.
"This must be very expensive. If you bought this for me, how will you live in the future?"
Flora Gates became anxious, pushed the gift back and said anxiously, "Return it quickly. I've already forgiven you, so don't spend any more money on me!"
"But the shopkeeper said once it's sold, it can't be returned or exchanged. If I sell it a second time, the price will be greatly discounted."
Vincent Wolf seemed embarrassed, and then he said earnestly, "And besides, this was something I wanted to buy for you. It's a token of my appreciation. Even if I have to live on a bun a day in the future, I'm willing to do so."
Suddenly, the Three-tailed Fox threw herself at Vincent Wolf, hugging him tightly and sobbing loudly. As she cried, she mumbled something unintelligible, which even the translator could not accurately translate.
Vincent Wolf softly comforted Flora Gates while thinking to himself that, if a Beast Master had a status panel, his would definitely show the talent skill [Acting] reaching expert level.
Before Vincent Wolf got the Space Bracelet, he had indeed been short of living expenses. Dragon Town was famous for saying it was to foster self-reliance, but would often forget to give him living expenses.
This would sometimes force him to take on odd jobs to barely make ends meet.
But now, Vincent Wolf had the entire wealth of a senior master-level Beast Master, with the lowest level resources being high-level extraordinary pet beasts.
When young, he disparaged the rich; as an adult, he understood them; now, he himself became one of them.
After a while, Flora Gates let go of Vincent Wolf and said with a whimper, "It seems I misunderstood you. You were forced into this situation, so I don't blame you. Will you… still contract with me?"
"After everything I've done to you, are you still willing to contract with me?" Vincent Wolf was very touched.
"Of course."
"But the opponent is very powerful. Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
"I believe in you!" Flora Gates said earnestly, "Let's go and sign the contract again. We'll form a contract when you've become a professional beast tamer."
Vincent Wolf was deeply moved by the cute and innocent little Three-tailed Fox, but he was also a bit hesitant.
He still wanted to try his inherited Beast-controlling Talent [Dimension Summon, which had the probability of summoning a Mythical Race. He wanted to be a betting addict.
But at this point, he certainly could not refuse, or all his previous efforts would have been wasted.
He stopped Flora Gates' movement, reached into his clothes, and slowly pulled out the contract agreement she had thrown at him in the morning.
"You actually kept it in your breast pocket." Flora Gates was even more moved, "But how did this agreement get so crumpled?"
"After you threw it at me, my heart felt a sharp pain, and my hand involuntarily clenched, causing this agreement to crumple. Flora, you won't blame me, will you?" Vincent Wolf asked.
"Of course not, I'm just happy that you carried it with you," Flora replied.
Vincent Wolf was also pleased that the agreement he inadvertently pocketed in the morning, having not found a trash can, could still play a role in the afternoon.
As for why it was taken out from his breast pocket, it was, of course, the work of the Space Bracelet.
Flora Gates carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the agreement, then took out a small button from her body.
With a press, a penetrating sound emitted, and Vincent Wolf was not surprised as he had seen this gadget before. It was intended for Flora Gates to summon Nora Gates.
In just a few minutes, Nora Gates arrived, stopping a few meters away, and her eyes almost popped out when she saw Flora Gates and Vincent Wolf sticking close together.
"Flora! What is this!?"
Nora Gates felt that her decades-long fox life could not keep up with the times. In the morning, Flora was crying and looked like she wanted to tear Vincent Wolf apart, but by afternoon, they had turned lovey-dovey.
It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing too fast.
"I still want to contract with Vincent Wolf," Flora Gates said tearfully to Nora Gates.
"Weren't you heartbroken earlier, saying that you wanted to be a free pet beast and never be contracted by humans again?"
"That was before. Now I understand that I was just misunderstanding Vincent."
"That's right, Aunt Fox, didn't you also agree with me earlier?" Vincent Wolf interjected.
"That was before! Now I can see clearly that you're not a good person," Nora Gates said indignantly.
"Mom, how can you say something like that about him?" Flora Gates said unhappily.
"Flora, don't treat Aunt Fox like this. If you continue like this, I'll get angry!" Vincent Wolf pretended to be angry.
Nora Gates looked at Flora Gates, who was turning her arm outward, and Vincent Wolf, who was speaking in an odd tone, with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
"I don't care anymore, do whatever you want!" Nora Gates, adhering to the principle of out of sight, out of mind, promptly ran away.
"Don't forget to change my current contract status on the Breeding House official Twitter!" Flora Gates didn't forget to remind her.
Nora Gates, in the distance, stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Then she ran away even faster.
"Vincent Wolf, how about I live with you?" Flora Gates looked at Vincent Wolf with anticipation.
Vincent Wolf paused and broke out in a cold sweat, quickly responding:
"Not for now, I need some time. Those noble capitalists won't leave me alone for the time being. I need to accumulate power to fight against them. You'll be safer here, and I won't have to worry about your safety all the time."
Joking aside, if he let Flora live in his house, all the things he said earlier would be exposed.
Flora Gates was somewhat disappointed, but she soon cheered up, "You have to come and pick me up early then!"
"Definitely, definitely, next time for sure!" Vincent Wolf quickly promised.
…
By the time Vincent Wolf returned home, the sun had already set in the west. He let the Slime out of the Beast Space so it could breathe, and also let it train itself in the yard.
Although the memories from the Simulation were extremely realistic, they were all based on Vincent Wolf's step-by-step improvement.
For the Slime, this was still somewhat unfamiliar, and the connection and release of its skills still felt a bit raw.
Moreover, the Slime had rapidly increased its strength from an infant-like state by an unknown number of times over a very short period of time.
This made its control over itself somewhat lacking, and it needed to train more to reach a perfect state.
As Vincent Wolf instructed the Slime on its training, he thought about assigning a name to the Slime.
Before, he didn't think about naming the Slime because he hadn't accepted it. Now that he thought it wasn't so bad, it was time to name it. Otherwise, it would be weird to call it Slime when encountering other Slimes.

Chapter 12
"What should I call it?"
"Little Sam? I've used that one before, but it feels a bit weird. Little Larry? Little Mark? Little Barry?"
"My name is Vincent Wolf, so my pet beast…"
With excitement, Vincent clenches his right fist and smacks it into his left palm. "Let's call it Little Vincent!"
"Wait, that seems a bit odd."
"After naming it that, it feels somewhat indecent. Never mind, I'll randomly choose one from those few options."
Vincent tears five pieces of paper, writes numbers on them, and starts a drawing. In the end, he draws the number 5.
"Alright, it shall be called Little Barry."
He calls the Slime, which is in the middle of training, and tells it its new name.
"Come, learn with me, Xiaolan."
When Little Barry hears it has a name, it is very happy, because its still innocent spiritual wisdom tells it that a name represents its distinction among countless other Slimes.
However, it is confused. It blinks its big eyes and bounces twice.
Vincent feels the confusion from Little Barry coming through the Beast Space, and he feels embarrassed. "Sorry, I forgot you don't have a mouth. Let me teach you to write instead."
Little Barry watches its round body while Vincent falls into deep thought.
Vincent picks up a small stick from the ground, writes the words "Little Barry" on the ground, and then pokes the stick into Little Barry.
"Wrap this little stick around and control it so that your body's digestive juices don't dissolve it. See if you can use this little stick to write."
Little Barry tries for a long time, but the stick almost melts, and it doesn't manage to write a single word.
"As expected, making a Slime learn to write is too much of a stretch. The control over the digestive juices is not there either, making my bold ideas impossible to implement."
Disappointed, Vincent tells Little Barry to continue training while he eats something and prepares to start meditating.
Vincent takes out a Level 1 Meditation Amplification Potion from the Space Bracelet.
Level 1 potions are for Apprentice Beast Masters. Meditation amplification potions can boost the efficiency of meditation, and depending on individual utilization, it can equal half a month to a month of regular meditation.
Besides meditation, leveling up the pet beast can also provide feedback to the Beast Master, including physical fitness and spiritual power.
Little Barry is currently at Awakening Level 4, but its species level is very low, so the feedback it provides to Vincent is not much. However, with the help of the meditation amplification potion tonight, Vincent should be able to reach Level 2 Apprentice Beast Master.
"This has been here for who knows how many years; it shouldn't be expired, right?"
Vincent shakes the potion in the test tube, which flashes with a hazy purple light. He reads the label.
[Name: Level 1 Meditation Amplification Potion. Manufacturer: Los Angeles Potion Making Center. Ingredients: Water and confidential formula. Production Date: See spray code. Shelf life: Twenty Years.]
After checking the production date and the time on his phone, Vincent feels relieved.
"This tiny bottle of potion costs 20,000 Cathay currency. Luckily, it still has a few years before it expires, otherwise, I would be at a huge loss."
Vincent uncorks the wooden stopper on the test tube and swallows the sweet-tasting potion in a single gulp.
Suddenly, he feels waves of cool currents flowing through his brain, as if his head was filled with menthol. The icy stimulation makes his mind extremely clear, and his brain enters a highly rational state.
Vincent quickly begins to meditate, consuming this energy; otherwise, he might stay in this state all night and end up going crazy.
Three hours later, Vincent wakes up from meditation, feeling that his spirit has significantly improved and his Beast Master level has reached Level 2. He estimates that last night's effect was roughly equivalent to more than 20 days of his normal meditation.
Indeed, you get what you pay for. A 20,000 Cathay currency price tag doesn't lie.
He can only use meditation amplification potions twice a week to avoid damaging his brain.
At this pace, Vincent can gain one level in about a week and a half. In a little over three months, he could become a professional beast tamer.
"As long as there are enough potions in the Space Bracelet, I would need to spend six to seven hundred thousand Cathay currency."
"I may need to use the valuable resources, so I can't sell them."
"Unused ordinary resources can be sold, but it's still not worth it. It's better not to sell them unless you're really short on money."
Vincent calls out for Dragon Town a few times, but there is no reply from inside the building. It seems Dragon Town hasn't returned since noon.
Comfortable with the routine, Vincent doesn't find it strange. The Old Lizard is always out and about; he seldom stays home unless something big happens.
Looking at the time, Vincent realizes it's getting late. He summons Little Barry back to Beast Space and goes back to his room to sleep.
Day 2.
Vincent wakes up early, feeling refreshed and in good spirits after dealing with Flora Gates' issue.
He hasn't forgotten that his Beast-controlling Talent [Simulation] has been refreshed, so he silently starts the simulation.
The moment the simulation starts, Vincent feels as if he's been emptied, with all his strength mysteriously disappearing.
He collapses onto his bed, completely drained of his abundant energy in just a few seconds. His entire body is filled with deep fatigue, as if he had sprinted a full marathon.
"This is what you meant by it consuming some physical strength?"
"It's all my strength, for crying out loud!"
[Selectable Mysterious Realm: Water Mysterious Realm]
[Simulatable subject: Slime]
[Randomly obtained word: Lucky Break (Green)]
[Lucky Break (Green): You have a higher chance of obtaining rare resources than the average person.]
[Simulation begins]
[On Day 1 of entering the Water Mysterious Realm, you find yourself turned into a Slime. You retain the memory of the simulation, and your mind is as calm as water, even a little amused.]
[On Day 2, you want to perfect your [Rapid Movement] skill proficiency, so you begin arduous training.]
[On Day 26, you sense a bottleneck. You believe that breaking through the bottleneck will perfect your [Rapid Movement] proficiency, and you need a breakthrough opportunity, so you decide to leave your seclusion.]
[On Day 27, you search around but don't find a Bubble Turtle, which irritates you.]
[In the outer area of the Water Mysterious Realm, not only are the pet beast species levels low, but the suitable water attribute resources are also scarce. You think that this area cannot satisfy your breakthrough needs, so you decide to explore deeper.]
[On Day 28, as you walk along, you find a Water Attribute Energy Crystal Stone and consume it. Your level is raised to Awakening Level 5.]
[On Day 29, you find another Water Attribute Energy Crystal Stone. While puzzled, you consume it, and your level rises to Awakening Level 6.]

Chapter 13
[Day 30, you found yet another water attribute energy crystal stone. This time, you're a little scared. All sorts of conspiracy theories and protagonist theories flash across your mind. But you still swallowed it, leveling up to Awakening Level 7.]
[Day 40, you encounter energy crystals every day, and you've grown used to it. You've already advanced to Awakening Level 10, and require special pet beast resources to break through to the Extraordinary Level.]
[After days of traveling, you realize that the levels of the pet beast species you encounter are getting higher, their strengths increasing. It seems you're gradually moving deeper into the territory. You start deciding your next opponent.]
[Being a newcomer, you pick an easy target. A Water Snake of the Intermediate Transcendent Species caught your attention and you easily defeated and devoured it, which greatly boosted your confidence.]
[Day 41, you discover a pair of Water Rabbits in their mating season, engaged in the act of procreation.]
[You pay your respects, then plan to ambush them, but to your surprise, five more Water Rabbits join in. You're scared by the sight of the chain of rabbits.]
[You ran.]
[Day 42, your habit of gathering energy crystals is discovered by a high-grade transcendent Water Duck, which launches a fierce attack on you using the [Water Cannon] skill.]
[Caught off guard, you struggle to cope. Fortunately, you react swiftly and fight back ferociously, successfully vanquishing the Water Duck.]
[After activating the [Devour] Gift Skill, you successfully trigger an effect that elevates your species level. Your species level is raised to Intermediate Transcendent.]
[You feel a loosening in the bottleneck of your abilities.]
[Day 43, with the increase in your species level, your strength has also improved dramatically. You start seeking powerful enemies to challenge in order to progress.]
[Day 48, you run into a High-Level Extraordinary Species Jumping Frog. Its exceptional jumping ability fails to court an advantage against your [Rapid Movement] skill. You play with it at will, subsequently defeating and devouring it. Moreover, in its den, you fortuitously find a low-grade transcendent Water Attribute Energy Fruit approaching ripeness. You start waiting for the energy fruit to mature.]
[Day 52, just as the Energy Fruit is about to ripen, an uninvited guest appears. It's an Extraordinary Species, the Rare Element Water Sprite, of the low-ranking commander level.]
[The Water Sprite is attracted by the oscillations emanating from the Energy Fruit. It, like you, is at Awakening Level 10, and the Energy Fruit is all that stands between it and the Extraordinary Level.]
[Under the impetus of mutual interest, a battle ensues between you. The Water Sprite boasts numerous water attribute skills. Plus, your [Spit Water] skill is significantly less effective against it, rendering you unable to defeat it. You're left with no choice but to use the ripening Energy Fruit as leverage.]
[Faced with the risk of the Energy Fruit being destroyed, the Water Sprite concedes and waits with you for the Energy Fruit to mature.]
[Day 55, over the course of these three days, you and the Water Sprite wait together for the Energy Fruit to mature.]
[Commander species pet beasts possess considerable spiritual wisdom. Under your skillful persuasion and perfect pitch, the Water Sprite finds great pleasure in your company, taking to you instantly as if you were old friends, and accepting you as its boss, following your commands.]
[The Energy Fruit matures. You suggest the Water Sprite to consume it, but it insists on giving it to you and threatens suicide. You reluctantly agree to take it.]
[You successfully increase your growth level to low-grade transcendent, comprehend the High-order Gift Skills [Doubling, and with the accumulated gains in skill proficiency and combat experience, your species level breaks through to High-level Extraordinary.]
[Day 56, now that you have a powerful sidekick, you both begin sweeping through all the pet beasts you encounter.]
[Day 66, over the course of these ten days, you successfully defeat 100 water attribute pet beasts, earning the recognition of the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, and receiving its blessing.]
[Meanwhile, within these ten days, you found the second Energy Fruit. The Water Sprite's growth level upgrades to low-grade transcendent, enhancing its loyalty towards you.]
[Blessing of the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm: When facing more than 100 pet beasts, skill power increases by 5%.]
[Day 88, you venture deeper into the Water Mysterious Realm. Over the course of twenty days of unrelenting battles, your [Rapid Movement] skill has reached the Perfect Level. And upon your request, the Water Sprite teaches you low-order skills [Water Cannon, [Water Vortex].]
[However, as the two of you venture too deep into the territory of powerful pet beasts, a Giant Claw Shrimp of low-ranking commander growth level makes its appearance.]
[You use [Rapid Movement] to try and escape, but the range of the Giant Claw Shrimp's High-order skill [Whirlpool Strangulation] is vast, and you are unfortunately sucked into it.]
[You die.]
[After the simulation ends, you can choose to retain the following]
[Choice 1: Retain your memories from the simulation, as well as all the knowledge, skills, and combat experience you learned.]
[Choice 2: Retain your species level.]
[Choice 3: Retain your growth level.]
[Choice 4: Retain the clause for seven days.]
[Note: You've been recognized by the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, and after making your choice, you will receive additional blessings from the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm.]
Vincent Wolf is still lying in bed at this point, too weak to get up.
"This simulation was not too bad; my species level elevated to High-level Extraordinary, and my growth level reached the Extraordinary Level."
"[Rapid Movement] skill has reached the Perfect Level, learning lower-order skills [Water Cannon, [Water Vortex, and even the high-order Gift Skills [Doubling]. On top of that, I stumbled into what seems like a not-so-beneficial blessing."
"I'll pass on the clause. It feels like a money-making Gift skill, but it seems useless. I don't lack money now, and even if I did, I wouldn't choose this. Choosing this would mean I'm lacking in intelligence."
"If I choose to retain the growth level, my beast space at the Apprentice Level won't be able to handle it."
"Memories could be an option. High-Level Extraordinary species is also good. If I choose to retain memories, I'd have a ton of skills. But the promotion of species level is all-around. This is a dilemma!"
"Ah! If only I could get up now, then I could resolve this by just flipping a coin. This indecision is killing me."
"Forget it, I'll choose the memories, there's no such thing as too many skills, and next time, I might not have a Water Sprite to leech off."
As the memories flood in, Vincent Wolf watches the life he led as a Slime in this simulation. Everything is deeply ingrained in his mind and body.
Along with the comprehension and improvement of many skills, Barry's growth level also advances by 1 level, reaching Awakening Level 5.
In addition, a fog of white light floats from an unidentified location into Vincent Wolf's Beast Space and into Barry, which seems to be the blessing of the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm.
[Prompt: You've gained recognition from the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, new Mysterious Realms can be added.]
[Prompt: Ancient Simulation Authority has been activated, the Water Mysterious Realm has been added to the Ancient Simulation Sequence.]
"There's something new?" Vincent Wolf is excited.
"Quick! I want to execute the Ancient Simulation!"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 14
[Note: Ancient Simulation requires professional beast tamer level, and there are only two simulation opportunities per month, and each simulation consumes a large amount of physical strength.]
"Why didn't you mention the limitations before?!" Vincent Wolf seemed agitated and annoyed.
"And it also consumes a lot of physical strength…" He thought about the events in the morning and his face turned pale. This was just a "certain amount" of physical strength mentioned in the description. If it were a large amount, he would be drained of energy in an instant.
As for the new change in the [Simulation] Beast-controlling Talent, Vincent Wolf also had some guesses.
The Beast-controlling Talent was not unchangeable. Occasionally, there would be a phenomenon called Awakening of the Beast-controlling Talent, which would evolve the talent into another form or produce unknown changes.
This seemed to be the case now.
However, he was only a Level 2 Beast Tamer now. Although Barry's level up had given him a bit of spiritual feedback, he was still far from the level of a professional beast tamer, let alone unlocking this newly added Ancient Simulation.
"Barry's leveling up speed is so fast, I'm so envious." Vincent Wolf felt envious when he thought of Barry's leveling up speed.
Under normal circumstances, the promotion of pet beasts requires arduous training, combat experiences, complex and nutritious pet beast food that satisfies their needs, and the absorption of energy crystals.
These factors help improve the physical and energy strength of pet beasts, and eventually break through the self-imposed shackles, gradually increase their growth level, species level, and even higher levels of life form, reaching the transcendent level and beyond.
But Barry's promotion could be considered downright unreasonable.
The proficiency of pet beast skills is very difficult to improve. It usually takes at least half a year for a pet beast to master a low-level skill.
Each mastered skill would provide feedback to the pet beast itself, promoting its growth level.
It was not clear why, but Vincent Wolf had a very fast rate of mastering skills in the simulation.
It might be because practicing the skills with a human mindset accelerated the mastery of the skills, or it might be that Vincent Wolf was incredibly talented and naturally mastered the skills very quickly.
And then there was Barry's talent skill [Devour]. The skill enhances digestion, increases energy absorption thresholds, and reduces the risk of explosion.
Ordinary pet beasts don't swallow energy crystals whole, as their bodies can't withstand the enormous energy and may explode. They can only carry the crystals on their bodies and absorb the energy slowly.
But slimes don't have this risk. They directly engulf the crystals and digest them in less than a day.
Ordinary contracted pet beasts in a family may not reach Awakening Level 5 in a year or two.
Those with some money in their families will buy some special grade milk from Moo Moo cows. The energy contained in processed special grade milk is mild and easy to absorb. Drinking it regularly can increase the leveling speed of pet beasts to more than double.
As for the wealthy, that was beyond Vincent Wolf's imagination.
In the second simulation, the woman who defeated him came from a wealthy family. Not only did she have a low-level commander species pet beast, but she also fed it countless good things. Otherwise, Vincent wouldn't have been beaten so easily.
Upon thinking this, Vincent Wolf got angry. He didn't think he was a petty person, but he still wanted to get his revenge.
With his thoughts, the Contract Array appeared in the air, and Barry squeezed out of it and landed on the ground.
Feeling its intact body, Barry had already gotten used to the experience of dying and resurrecting.
"Barry, get me a glass of water, and remember, the temperature should be above 40 degrees Celsius, or else I'll cough."
"?" Barry tilted its head in confusion. Its spiritual wisdom had improved a lot after the three simulation memory infusions, but it didn't understand what Vincent Wolf was talking about.
"You're so stupid, what's the point of having you!" Vincent grumbled while closing his eyes to focus on recovering his physical strength. In a short while, he fell asleep again.After waking up again, two or three hours had already passed. He slowly got out of bed, struggling to move his sore body.
"I shouldn't start simulations early in the morning, otherwise, I'll be late for school. It's a waste of time, I should do the simulations at night."
He recalled letting Barry out before going to bed, so he sent several messages to Barry in the Beast Space to call him back.
In no time, Barry entered the bedroom with a cup of water on his head. Vincent Wolf saw the cup swaying but not falling off.
"Heh, you've grown!" Vincent was delighted.
He picked up the cup and took a sip. As expected, the water was cold.
After stretching his arms, Vincent lazily walked out of the bedroom, only to be shocked at the sight of his messy living room.
The living room was in complete disarray, as if floodwater had washed through it. The floor was even littered with the remains of broken glass.
"What the fuck!? Did a husky sneak into my house?"
Then, he came to his senses and saw Barry staring at him with big, innocent eyes. He lowered his head in despair.
"I regret giving you this name. I should've named you Little Husky."
He told Barry to continue with his training, while he dragged his tired body to clean up the house.
"I should buy an intelligent mechanic maid beast later. What does it look like, having to do chores when I'm rich now!"
After working hard for half a day, he finally managed to restore the house to its former cleanliness. As for the wet cushions and seats, he either hung them outside to dry or used a hairdryer to blow them.
Once Vincent finished, he went to the courtyard to check on Barry, who was training diligently.
Well done! A Beast Tamer works hard in simulations, and his pet beast works hard in reality to digest the fruits of his labor.
Finally done with everything, he collapsed onto his bed and began scrolling through his phone for another lazy day.
The short video platforms in this world were similar to those in his previous life, except they included more content about pet beasts. And powerful or cute beasts accounted for most of the traffic.
Whether singing or dancing, there were species within the pet beasts that were even more professional than humans. And even with just a simple connection, there were players like the Charm Demon Clan known for their professionalism.
Unfortunately, humans could only play a supporting role.
As someone who had never seen such a scene before, Vincent Wolf watched with great interest and occasionally gasped.
"This mermaid's singing is truly amazing."
"Wow, this Hell Demon Dragon is so handsome! I'm in love!"
"So, Charm Demons really have silver patterns, huh? I've learned something new."
"Hmm? There's another Devil's Domain? And it's not far from Los Angeles?" Vincent furrowed his brows at the news that appeared in front of him.
Most of the Mysterious Realms are located in different spaces, and humans can only enter after obtaining the coordinates. However, due to various reasons, a considerable number of Mysterious Realms are connected to the Main World. The connected portions become doors between the two worlds, known as Secret Realm Gates.
Devil's Domain is actually a type of Mysterious Realm, but without the existence of the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm. The entire realm is in a chaotic and confused state, and the living pet beasts are influenced by the environment, becoming extremely violent and bloodthirsty, usually known as Demon Beasts.

Chapter 15
Once the Devil's Domain is connected to the Main World, the pet beasts in the Devil's Domain, without the control of the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm, will instinctively surge out and form a massive animal tide.
In the past, there have been many shocking cases where cities were destroyed by a sudden appearance of the Devil's Domain and people caught by surprise.
Vincent continued browsing and gradually relaxed.
This Devil's Domain was discovered in time. Just as it began to show signs of merging, an unknown Grandmaster Beast Master passing by found it. Then he promptly notified the relevant departments, who sealed off the scene and stationed powerful warriors and armies.
It has now been confirmed that the danger level of the Devil's Domain is three stars, which means that Monarch-level pet beasts exist within it.
A one-star danger level means that the highest level is the Transcendent Level, two stars mean the Commander Level, three stars mean Monarch Level, and so on.
"I was frightened. I thought I might have to run away."
Since there were powerful warriors and armies stationed, the safety must be guaranteed.
The appearance of the Devil's Domain is not entirely a bad thing, as it is also a type of Mysterious Realm. The resources within it must be incredibly abundant, and many special pet beasts can only be found there. Some Beast Masters who seek breakthrough opportunities through battles will also be very interested in the Devil's Domain.
Los Angeles is likely to have many development opportunities due to its proximity to the Devil's Domain and will attract additional outsiders as well.
After confirming there was no danger, Vincent didn't pay any more attention to this matter and continued browsing on different video platforms.
Suddenly, he thought of something, then quickly stood up and opened an app of great significance for human survival with a sacred mindset.
"What? So perverted! They can actually do that!"
"Geez, even that kind of place—"
"No way, there's even a cosplaying ogre and a skeleton king together…"
"Humans cannot, at least they should not."
With his critical eye, Vincent browsed through the content with an artistic and research mindset towards the different world.
Buzz buzz——
Startled, Vincent hurriedly closed the app, only to find it was a message notification tone. He didn't know who had sent him a message.
He opened an Emperor Penguin Icon app with annoyance. He had been so engrossed just now, only to be suddenly interrupted by a message.
"If there is no big problem, I'll scold you. Don't scare me. What if I get scared?! "
When he opened it, he saw that the entire panel was cleaned up, only two contacts, one was the person who just sent him a message, and the other was his class group chat. The class group chat was also muted, and he had been forced to join it because the teacher would send messages in it from time to time.
The person who sent him a message had a cute baby tyrannosaurus as their avatar. Vincent searched his memory and found this person seemed to be his only friend.
[Sebastian Wood: Vincent, are you okay? I heard someone was causing trouble for you.]
[Vincent Wolf: Then you should also hear how I coolly defeated them.]
[Sebastian Wood: No, what I heard was that you were beaten and ran away. Are you injured?]
[Vincent Wolf: I'm not injured, it's them who are injured. I fought against a dozen or so of them, killed several, and left gracefully. They couldn't accept that, so they spread rumors about me.]
[Sebastian Wood: Why do I feel that something is off with you lately, Vincent? Is it because you've only contracted a Slime, and the blow is still too big for you?]
[Vincent Wolf: How could it be? Let me secretly tell you a secret. Actually, my Slime has a divine beast bloodline and is from a Mythical Race. I'm only telling you, so don't tell anyone else.]
[Sebastian Wood: Wow, Vincent, that's incredible, isn't it?]
[Vincent Wolf: …You really believe that? Of course not. How could a Slime have a divine beast bloodline? You believe such an absurd thing, are you a fool?]
[Sebastian Wood: … ﾍ(;Дﾍ)]
"Humph, how dare he interrupt me when I was in a state of enlightenment and disrupt my path. He must be taught a lesson!"
At this moment, a majestic voice came from the courtyard.
"Vincent, what's going on with your Slime? It's grown so much stronger in just one day. Could it be that the time flow in the Devil's Domain is different from the outside world, and a day there is a year on the outside?"
Vincent went outside and saw Dragon Town pinching the trembling Barry and rubbing it back and forth. Seeing Vincent's arrival, Barry quickly stared at him with its watery eyes, begging for help.
"Stop pinching it like dough!" Vincent, feeling envious, hurriedly rescued Barry and began rubbing it himself.
"Your Slime has gained so much energy in just one day, did you feed it the resources from your Space Bracelet? No, that's not right. If you fed it, the increase wouldn't be just this little, so how did you do it?" Dragon Town was curious.
"I'm not telling you." Vincent saw that Dragon Town licked its sharp claw and quickly added, "I'm not telling you that Barry advanced to Awakening Level 5, learned two low-grade skills, [Water Cannon] and [Water Vortex, a high-order gift skill [Doubling, and improved the proficiency of [Rapid Movement] to the Perfect Level."
"This…" Dragon Town was greatly impacted, recalling how long it took him to improve his skills to the Perfect Level. He thought carefully and found that he didn't have any skills with Perfect Level proficiency, which made him feel even more impacted.
"Who is Barry? Is it the name you gave your Slime?" After a while, Dragon Town came to his senses and asked.
"Yes." Vincent answered, then noticed several healed scars on Dragon Town. So he asked, "Old Lizard, what happened to you? I didn't see these scars on you yesterday? Did you get into a fight with another beast?"
"Didn't the Devil's Domain just emerge near Los Angeles? I went in for a stroll after receiving the news yesterday, and it was quite a thrill." Dragon Town's eyes were fierce, and it laughed with a wide-open mouth.
"Did you go looking for another breakthrough opportunity? How many years have you been searching for it without giving up?"
"There's no such thing as giving up in this kind of situation. It's just that my Species Level is like a chasm. Aside from seeking a breakthrough in life and death, resources with a high-grade Dragon Bloodline can also help me advance."
"In my opinion, you old man should stop going on adventures. Maybe in two years, I'll become one of the Grandmaster Beast masters, and I can give you scraps from my leftovers that can still help you improve!" Vincent chuckled.
Dragon Town knocked on Vincent's head, laughing and scolding, "You kid, why have you changed so much lately? Did becoming a Beast Master change your character?"
"It's all because of Barry leading me astray. Don't worry, I will teach Barry a good lesson to make it a kind and righteous new-age pet beast!" Vincent said righteously.
Barry: 6
Chapter 16
"I know you're worried about me getting into trouble, but I'm not someone who can be easily bullied by any beast. Besides, if I do encounter a strong opponent that I can't defeat, I can still run away." Dragon Town comforted him.
Vincent Wolf knew that it wasn't as simple as Dragon Town made it sound, but he couldn't convince Dragon Town otherwise. "Why don't you just exchange that high-quality Beast Technique for a Monarch-level resource? I'm sure a lot of people would be willing to make the trade."
"That Beast Technique cannot be taken out. Either you use it or keep it in the Space Bracelet. There's no second option." Dragon Town was firm about this.
Vincent Wolf was just casually mentioning it; he himself could use skills, so the Beast Technique wasn't of much use to him. It would be better to exchange it for a Monarch-level ally.
However, he understood that such precious items should not be easily given away, or else it would bring endless trouble. What he needed now was time for his own growth, and he couldn't afford to waste it.
"There's one more thing."
"What?"
"When are you going to tell me who our enemies are? I don't even have a target for revenge. If you get lost outside one day and can't come back home, then I will never know the specific situation."
Dragon Town paused for a moment, then understood Vincent Wolf's meaning.
"As long as you reach the level of professional beast tamer, I will tell you. Don't worry, even if something happens to me, you will know. I have made arrangements already, and besides, as long as you're strong enough, what kind of information can't you obtain?"
"This kind of arrangement sounds like a death flag."
"A what?"
Vincent Wolf then remembered that the language of this world was not the same as his previous one.
"I mean, I'm worried."
"Alright. Then I'll be more careful."
…
"Good, just like that, do it ten more times!"
Listening to Dragon Town training Barry outside the door, Vincent Wolf was at the computer desk using the computer to search for some learning materials.
Although mobile phones were convenient, they were not as comfortable as looking at a big screen.
This world had mechanical pet beasts, and the management of network security was also handled by some professional mechanical pet beasts. These creatures were basically regulated, so there was no need to worry about network security and privacy leaks.
Soon, Vincent Wolf found a large number of learning materials such as human and beast combat techniques, Beast Encyclopedia information, and beast skill training courses.
The morning was purely for rest, but the afternoon could not be wasted. Since he had arrived in this world and inherited the karma of his predecessor, if he failed to work hard and was accidentally killed, it would be an injustice.
Vincent Wolf knew that his ability to release skills meant that he would be a major force in future Beast Master battles and might even be stronger than his pet beast.
In the future, he would contract different pet beasts, and perhaps as long as he mastered each pet beast's skill in the Simulation, he could learn them all.
As such, the types of pet beasts he would contract in the future should also be included in his planning. If a beast's skills suited him, perhaps it wouldn't be unacceptable to select one with a slightly lower species level.
The power of the internet was indeed great.
After just one look at the videos and information Vincent Wolf found, he felt enlightened.
Especially some low-level skills explanation and teaching courses, which made him gain new insights into these skills. He was looking forward to his performance in the next Simulation.
Speaking of Simulations, he remembered that the Water Mysterious Realm had already been approved, and he could already enter the next Mysterious Realm.
So Vincent Wolf started searching for information about Mysterious Realms within Los Angeles.
The reason for only searching in Los Angeles was because it was close and convenient, going to other cities would mean he couldn't attend school on time and would need to ask the teacher for leave. Although Vincent Wolf felt that going to school didn't matter, Dragon Town didn't think so.
Secondly, Mysterious Realms were strategic resources within each city. It was difficult for people from other cities to obtain qualifications, and they would have to pay a high price. There was not enough supply for their own people and even less for outsiders.
There were not many Mysterious Realms in Los Angeles. There were five One-Star Secret Realms, two Two-Star Secret Realms, one Three-Star Secret Realm, and a newly discovered Three-Star Magic Domain.
The Water Mysterious Realm was a Two-Star Secret Realm, which had the presence of high-ranking commander-level pet beasts.
However, since the Water Mysterious Realm had a wide range and a step-like distribution of beast strength, most of the outer periphery were low species and low-level pet beasts, making it suitable for Apprentice Beast Masters.
The one-star secret realms were intended for students, and even college students were supposed to use one-star secret realms. However, the Water Mysterious Realm, as a special two-star secret realm, was open to some top high schools and universities.
A one-star secret realm wasn't useful, as the highest level was only high-level Extraordinary. The Water Mysterious Realm was enough for Vincent Wolf at this stage.
His main target was the other Two-Star Secret Realm and the Three-Star Secret Realm in Los Angeles. After searching online, he gained a general understanding of them.
The other Two-Star Secret Realm was called Four Seasons Secret Realm, which was divided into five areas: spring, summer, autumn, winter, and a special mixed area in the center. Unlike the Water Mysterious Realm with mostly Water Attribute beasts, the pet beasts inside Four Seasons Secret Realm had various attributes.
Compared with the Water Mysterious Realm, the Four Seasons Secret Realm was much more dangerous since its pet beasts' strength was evenly distributed, making it unsuitable for rookies.
Moreover, the key was that the conditions for approval by the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm in this place were not yet found. This meant that for a long time, Vincent Wolf might not be able to enter another Mysterious Realm, sealing his Beast-controlling Talent.
As for the Three-Star Secret Realm, he found very little information about it since it was a realm with Monarch-level pet beasts, open only to Master-level Beast Masters.
He only knew that the secret realm was called the Light and Dark Mysterious Realm, and there were some scattered pieces of information about it on the internet.
Vincent Wolf left the small building and asked Dragon Town, "Do you know about the Three-Star Secret Realm, the Light and Dark Mysterious Realm?"
"Of course I know about it." Dragon Town was a little puzzled by Vincent Wolf's sudden question.
"Have you been there? Tell me more about it."
"I haven't been there myself because I didn't want to choose another master. But I do know a bit about that place." Dragon Town told Vincent Wolf everything he knew.
The Three-Star Secret Realm was owned by the government, and the discoverer had a certain say in the matter. Then the Grandmaster Beast masters each had a few quotas.
As for Master-level Beast Masters, they needed a deep background or outstanding contributions to be eligible for a quota.

Chapter 17
Dragon Town was told about this Mysterious Realm when they inquired about it at the time, and that person also told him that if he wanted to enter this Mysterious Realm, there was only one way to go – to make a contract with a certain qualified beastmaster or to pay a huge price to buy a quota from a Master-level Beast Master.
Dragon Town decided not to go to the mysterious realm, and that person didn't think Dragon Town would make such a big sacrifice for a quota, but he still told Dragon Town some information about the realm.
The danger of this Mysterious Realm is relatively low among the Three-Star Secret Realms, but its level of strangeness is definitely top-notch within the category.
There are a large number of pet beasts with special attributes such as light, dark, superpower, undead, space, and spirit in the Hidden Realm. These pet beasts are not very aggressive, but they have a wicked sense of humor and often cause Beast Masters to get toyed with by unknown pet beasts until they lose interest and leave.
According to the victimized Beast Masters, their methods may include but are not limited to: closed five senses, multiple nightmares, limit-enhanced perception, space folding, cognitive disorder, human dislocation, etc., and some nasty pet beasts don't even help to recover before leaving.
At the same time, the conditions to be recognized by the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm in this Secret Realm have not been found yet.
When Vincent asked about the Four Seasons Secret Realm, Dragon Town also told him the conditions for entering this Secret Realm.
Either as a Master-level Beast Master, after applying with the Los Angeles Beastmaster Association and passing the examination to verify their identity, they have a chance to get a quota.
Or, one has to make a huge contribution to Los Angeles to get a quota.
After hearing all this, Vincent realized that entering the mysterious realm was not easy and was a bit difficult. In this case, he was afraid that even a One-Star Secret Realm Quota might not be available for him to apply.
Dragon Town was curious about Vincent's inquiry about the Mysterious Realm and said, "Are you planning to enter the realm for training? I heard that your school has access to the Water Mysterious Realm. Your slime is also water-element. You are still a novice, why ask about those dangerous places?"
"I just want to know." Then Vincent asked, "Is the Devil's Domain really that dangerous?"
"Not really. At my level, as long as I don't go near the Monarch-Level Pet Beasts in the Three-Star Magic Domain, I should be fine."
"However, there's a force that affects the spirit in the Devil's Domain at all times, so you can't stay there for long, or there will be a problem with your sanity, and this not only applies to pet beasts but also to Beast Tamers."
Vincent actually wants Dragon Town to take him into the Devil's Domain for a trip. Since it is also a kind of Mysterious Realm, he thinks it should be possible for his [Simulation] Talent to record it.
However, since the beginning of the talent, it also indicates that once a Mysterious Realm is recorded, the approval of the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm is required before the next Mysterious Realm can be recorded. So without a Spirit of the Mysterious Realm in the Devil's Domain, it means he can't get its approval.
So what will happen? Will he never be able to record the next Mysterious Realm, or will there be a bug in the system?
If the [Simulation] Talent gets stuck in his own brain, won't he be brain dead and turn into a vegetative state?
"I can only use the Water Mysterious Realm simulation for now, and then gradually look for opportunities to record new Mysterious Realms."
"Actually, the Water Mysterious Realm is enough for Beast Masters up to Master level, so there's no need for a new Mysterious Realm. I'm just overthinking…no, it's called being prepared."
Vincent calculated in his heart.
"Vincent seems to have more secrets lately, not bad, the more secrets, the greater the hope for revenge, it's just that his character seems to have become darker and more scheming. Could it be the influence of the slime?"
Dragon Town also pondered in his heart.
"But that's not right. Only pet beasts of the type like undead, demon, and spirit attribute are known to have an impact on beastmasters, never heard of a simple water attribute being able to change it so drastically."
"Could it be that this slime is a variant species?"
Boom boom –
In the middle of a person-dragon pair, diligent Barry is still diligently exercising against the huge rock target that Dragon Town has recently moved in.
The afternoon is the same, and suddenly the sun's afterglow is no more, and the dusk is gradually approaching.
Looking at the sky, it's time for dinner, Vincent immediately said to Dragon Town, "Don't run away tonight, stay and have dinner with us!"
As soon as Dragon Town heard this, he spread his wings, and Vincent grabbed Dragon Town's thigh.
"No, no, it will definitely be non-toxic tonight!"
Seeing that he had been caught, Dragon Town had no choice but to follow Vincent into the house with a sorrowful dragon face, just like going to the scaffold.
"Is it really that serious?" Vincent was speechless.
Vincent's previous life's cooking skills were not considered to be a top-notch level, but they were also considered to be a master of the second-tier, thanks to his self-reliance for many years without anyone taking care of him.
However, for some reason, he was very good at cooking human cuisine, but when it came to making pet beast food, it was a combination of horrible taste and horrible graphics.
Vincent didn't know what was going on, but cooking is for the person to eat, the difference should not be that big. After thinking about it, there was only one possibility, that is, because he himself would eat human cuisine, but he has never tasted cooking for pet beasts, so he just relies on his imagination.
"No more ingredients?"
Vincent opened the refrigerator, and there were only a few scattered vegetable leaves inside, which was not enough for dinner.
It looks like a trip to the supermarket is in order.
…
"These aunts are really amazing. Even my Beast Tamer-enhanced body is almost unable to keep up!"
Vincent was still dressed in a trench coat, with a hood covering his head and a mask covering his face. In his hands, he carried a bag of discounted food.
"Ε=(ο*)) Sigh, I was really influenced by my previous life, seeing discounted goods, I couldn't help but want to grab them. I am worth tens of millions now, I must show off the posture of a rich man." Although he thought so in his heart, Vincent's face covered by the mask was full of victorious smiles.
"Hehe, [Rush] is really useful. One charge can blow ten aunts away, and the feeling is almost addictive."
Just as Vincent was pondering which skill to use to grab discounted goods from aunts next time, he suddenly had a feeling of being watched.
Vincent opened his phone and used the front camera to look back, finding that someone seemed to be following him, but it was too dark to see the person's face clearly, and he could only vaguely feel that it was a woman.
"No way, is it the aunt who just got her prey snatched away from her in the supermarket and is holding a grudge? Does she want to steal my spoils of war?" Vincent was instantly horrified and quickly activated the Perfect Level [Rapid Movement].
This is still the first time he has used Perfect Level [Rapid Movement] in reality since reaching the Perfect Level, and he immediately noticed the difference.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 18
Previously, when using [Rapid Movement, he only felt that he gained a stronger physique and could burst out faster speed, with an energy pushing him to move forward.
Now, he feels like the surrounding speed has slowed, as if entering bullet time. His consciousness can easily control the high speed brought by the skill, controlling it freely, including the size and direction of speed and acceleration during movement, control of the landing point, and making corresponding responses to changes in the surrounding environment.
His consciousness controls the energy circulating around his body as Vincent shoots through the streets like a meteor, disappearing in an instant, leaving the unknown follower dumbfounded.
"The thing I worked so hard to snatch can't be given to anyone!" Vincent sits gasping for breath in front of his house.
This Perfect Level [Rapid Movement] not only consumes energy but also mental and physical strength. After the skill ended, Vincent almost fell to the ground, with more than half of his mental strength drained.
In the future, he won't be able to use this skill continuously. After using it once, he will have to recover; otherwise, he might fall to the ground without anyone else's help.
He enters his house, whistling, but soon his face turns pale.
"Where's my Dragon?! Where is it?!"
"It ran away again!"
"It was so hard for me to try to cook for once, and you made me lose so thoroughly!"
"Sizzle!"
…
Early the next morning, Vincent still feels uneasy, and his mood is quite irritated, wanting to vent.
"Just as well, it's Monday today, the start of school. Let's see which lucky guy will get my iron fist of love!"
After getting up and brushing his teeth, Vincent takes out his high school uniform, putting it on neatly.
The high school he attends is excellent in all aspects, and the uniform is no exception. This suit is finely tailored, with a simple and elegant design, fits well on the body, and showcases charm. Most importantly, the uniform is reasonably priced. One of the reasons many students want to attend this high school is for the uniform, not just for wearing it, but also to look at it.
"Students should look like students. What's the use of dressing up all flashy every day? It'll only affect my learning efficiency!" Vincent agrees with his predecessor's opinion.
Looking into the mirror, Vincent tries to imitate his predecessor's icy demeanor.
After half a day of practice, he nods his head in satisfaction, feeling like he perfected the look even more than the original.
For breakfast, he reheats last night's leftovers, not bothering to prepare lunch. There are some emergency food items like bread and water stored in his Space Bracelet, and he plans to eat lunch at the school cafeteria today.
Wearing a mask, Vincent walks to school.
Classes at Los Angeles's First Beast Master High School start at 8:00 am, break for lunch at 12:00 pm, resume at 1:00 pm, and end at 4:00 pm. Students can choose to participate in club activities or go home after school, and weekends are off.
Before crossing over, Vincent was a corporate slave who had already passed the painful period of being a high school student. Although he often dreams of going back to high school, he doesn't really want to experience his senior year again.
Luckily, high school life in the Beastmaster World isn't as exhausting. Otherwise, he would risk being beaten to death by a dragon just to take a leave of absence and go home.
It's October, the golden autumn season. The air is rich with fall colors, birds are singing, insects are humming, and the trees are rustling. A breeze blows by, bringing waves of golden yellow leaves.
At this time of the year in Los Angeles, the temperature is still slightly high. Those fashionable girls are still wearing thin summer clothes, and their budding shapes fill out their thin short-sleeved shirts with different curves. Plaid skirts paired with black or white stockings almost completely cover the lower half of the girls' bodies, leaving only a small, enticing gap in between.
Amidst the crowd of students, Vincent enters the school. Not sure if it's due to not wearing a hoodie, but attracting several people on the way to school with just a mask made him understand where his predecessor's cold and venomous character came from.
No one can stand this frequency of attention!
He feels like he made a mistake. Had he known, he would have worn a trench coat first, then found a secluded place in the school to put it into the Space Bracelet.
That being said, would that outfit not attract the police if he walked among a group of high school students?
After walking for a while, Vincent finally enters his classroom, breathing a sigh of relief. As he enters the school, more people try to strike up conversations with him. He even spotted several members of the Extinguishing Fortune Club and got scared so much that he used [Rapid Movement] to escape immediately.
This time he learned his lesson and did not operate the [Rapid Movement] at its maximum capacity. After this usage, he only felt his energy consumption was quite significant.
Entering the classroom and seeing most of the students present, Vincent takes off his mask, walks up to the podium, and coughs lightly with a serious expression, attracting the attention of everyone in the class.
"Everyone in the class, focus your attention on me. I have an announcement!"
"There were rumors, saying that there was a conflict between me and the Three-tailed Fox at the Los Angeles Breeding House, leading to the breaking of the contract. This is pure nonsense, all misunderstandings."
"Now, I have cleared up misunderstandings with the Three-tailed Fox. From now on, we will continue to get along harmoniously, united, heart-to-heart, respecting each other, singing and following, and harmoniously resonating!"
"You can check the Breeding House official Twitter, where the contract status of the Three-tailed Fox, Flora Gates, has been changed to 'reserved contract'. The one who reserved it is me."
"I hope that in the future, everyone can look rationally at problems, not blindly follow the crowd, and remember that wise people stop rumors. Do not let me see anyone bothering me for similar reasons again, or be careful of a lawyer's letter warning!"
Then Vincent walks off the podium and sits back in his seat.
Although he left the podium, what he said on stage stirred up a commotion among his classmates.
The boys quickly search the Breeding House's official Twitter and see their beloved Flora already reserved by Vincent, and then comes a wave of wailing.
On the other hand, the girls are different, as their minds remained immersed in their thoughts about Vincent.
His gaze reveals an unapproachable, cold temperament. Calm, emotionless, and resolute, his handsome and delicate features exude both coldness and charm that seems to absorb peoples' souls.
"Entering this class is the luckiest thing in my life," murmurs a female student with her legs closed together.
"Haven't seen him in two days, but feels like he's even more charming than usual. Is it my imagination?" another girl compares the difference with a secretly taken photo.
"I'm going to confess again tomorrow, to taste that scorn and contempt in his eyes and those vicious words once more," says a pervert.
"Why wait until tomorrow?" someone questions the first half of the sentence but ignores the second half.
"Because today's side dishes are enough."

Chapter 19
Vincent Wolf browsed through the textbooks one by one.
These textbooks were not just about pet beasts, but also included subjects like those in his previous life – languages, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, and politics. However, the study of these subjects mainly focused on the first two years of high school.
In senior year, students learned to discern pet beasts' aptitudes and growth stages, research on various pet beasts' measurements, knowledge of pharmacology among different resources, and self-rescue methods in the wild.
In actual combat classes, teachers taught students different battle methods when using pet beasts with different attributes.
They also instructed on tactics to be used against wild pet beasts under different circumstances, including skirmishes, ambushes, sniping, flanking, and guerrilla warfare.
Other basic courses, such as breeding, training, potion, and coordination classes, were also essential processes for students to enter Beast Taming University and choose a major after graduating from high school.
In the Beastmaster World, after graduating from junior high school, students and others of the right age would undergo a Beast-controlling Talent test organized by the state.
About one-tenth of the people would be found to possess the Beast-controlling Talent, and they could then apply for Beast Tamer High Schools corresponding to their academic achievements on their future volunteer forms.
Once admitted, they would study general knowledge for two years and then, after the final exam marking the end of their sophomore year, receive instruction on meditation techniques from state-appointed experts.
This enabled students to awaken their Beast-controlling Talent, open up a Beast Space, and form a contract with a pet beast.
Most people would succeed in awakening their Beast-controlling Talent and opening up a Beast Space during their two-month summer vacation, and then successfully contract their preferred pet beast.
However, a small number of people would struggle to find their ideal pet beast.
Even fewer people, like Vincent, would find their ideal pet beast first and then struggle to open up a Beast Space.
In senior year, ninety-nine percent of students would contract a pet beast with a species level of Transcendent. Most of these pet beasts were Intermediate or Low-grade Transcendents. Even High-level Extraordinary pet beasts were considered rare and powerful species.
Out of the hundreds of senior-year students, only a few Commander-level beasts belonged to the top rich or second-generation Beast Tamers kids, and they were still only Lower level Commanders. None of the high school students contracted a pet beast with a higher species level.
And while Vincent had already pre-ordered a High-Level Commander Three-tailed Fox, he also contracted a Slime.
To his peers, a Monarch Species was unimaginable, and High-Level Commanders were actually the ceiling.
As for Slimes, they were said to be the one thing even the poorest Beast Tamers would not contract, so no one in high school would ever want a Slime.
Among all the senior-year students, Vincent was the only one who contracted a Slime. He chose the floor over the ceiling, and one could imagine how others saw him.
While Vincent was focusing on studying the textbooks, the speech he gave on the podium had been posted on the school forum.
At the same time, his appearance on the podium was secretly recorded and uploaded as well.
Before long, under the communication between students, few people in the entire school didn't know about it.
Someone even uploaded the video taken in secret to the internet, with captions like "Shocking! School Hunk was forced to send a lawyer's letter to everyone in the school."
Just a few minutes before the class, Vincent's phone vibrated. He opened it and saw a message from Sebastian Wood.
[Sebastian Wood: Vince, have you reconciled with the Three-tailed Fox? That's great!]
[Vincent Wolf: How did you know?]
[Sebastian Wood: [Forwarded link: School Hunk openly talks about this on the podium, the truth is shocking] Look, it's all over the school forum, and there's even a video of you!]
[Vincent Wolf: Who the hell recorded it without permission! They're using my image without paying me my copyright fees! But, I won't pursue the matter since I look pretty handsome in it. Otherwise, at least two lawyer's letters would be needed.]
[Sebastian Wood: I heard that after you pre-ordered the contract with the Three-tailed Fox, a bunch of people are envious of you again and want to teach you a lesson in actual combat classes!]
[Vincent Wolf: Envy and jealously? I'd say it's hatred. I'm already good-looking enough, if I get any better-looking, it wouldn't be the Three-tailed Fox chasing after me, but the Six-tailed Fox instead.]
[Sebastian Wood: [Sweat] Only I can tolerate you! If it were anyone else, they'd want to beat you up!]
[Sebastian Wood: By the way, how have you thought about what I told you? Being a model for my family's shop for 10,000 Cathay currency a day.]
"Ten thousand a day? That's a lot! But being a model? What kind of model?"
Vincent didn't remember at first, but when he checked Sebastian's homepage, it came back to him.
"Damn it, no wonder the price was so high – your family runs a women's clothing store!"
[Vincent Wolf: Even if I starve to death, even if I can't become a Beast Tamer, even if I jumped off the school's rooftop, I won't be a model for your family's shop!]
[Sebastian Wood: (ﾉД) [Crying]
The bell rang for class, and the two ended their conversation.
This class was a Beast Encyclopedia Class. The teacher was an amiable middle-aged man who walked slowly into the classroom with a palm-sized, light green chubby insect napping on his shoulder.
This was the High-level Extraordinary Species, Little Bookworm, and many Beast Tamer teachers who aimed for teacher positions liked to contract one.
It was easy to raise a Little Bookworm; they simply needed to be fed books and taught knowledge constantly to become stronger. At a certain level, feeding them precious ink resources could evolve them into the Low-level Commander Species, Pen Spirit.
There were three blackboards on the podium. The central blackboard could be opened to reveal a big screen.
The teacher used the big screen to play a PPT courseware, explaining each slide. Vincent listened attentively.
His former self was a super student. He had dominated the top rank in his grade during the first two years of high school, and even already mastered senior-year knowledge, as well as studying university courses.
But even though he had inherited his former self's memories, just like choosing memories in a simulation, simply gaining memories didn't mean everything would be smooth sailing. He still needed to learn and deepen his understanding.
As the Encyclopedia Teacher continued with his lecture, the topic somehow shifted elsewhere.
"The development of this era is really rapid," the teacher sighed. "With the emergence of mechanical attribute pet beasts, people's lives are changing in leaps and bounds."
"I believe everyone has installed pet beast encyclopedia apps on their phones, right? Just open those apps and scan the pet beasts to get their basic information."
Some of the more lively students in the class had already taken out their phones to show the teacher.
"Look, teacher, I'm a Gold VIP!"
The class representative for the Beast Encyclopedia class, who obviously had a good relationship with the Encyclopedia teacher, showed off his phone with a grin.
"This app can display the pet beast's name, attribute, species level, racial talents, and skills. I usually use it to do my homework."

Chapter 20
Illustration Teacher jokingly scolded, "You kid, the class representative is not setting a good example, huh!"
"No way, I was just joking. I always write everything seriously."
"As long as that's true."
The teacher took the phone from the class representative and continued speaking.
"You still need to complete your homework on your own. But at other times, you can refer to these apps."
"After scanning a pet beast with the app, it will list possible skill categories and skill names."
"It even has the beast's evolutionary forms, cultivation standards needed for evolution, and which resources are needed. The detailed information will be listed along with various video aids for learning."
"Of course, upgrading to the Gold VIP is necessary for more information, and when you're in a mysterious realm without internet, you'll have to recharge with Diamond VIP for offline scanning and viewing."
The teacher returned the phone to the class representative.
"However, I only mentioned these to let you know that there are supplementary learning tools, but it doesn't mean that you won't need to attend lessons."
"In battle, enemies won't be waiting for you to take out your phone and scan. Moreover, some pet beasts can hurt Beast Masters without even showing up. In these cases, accurate judgment, understanding the effects of the skill, and knowing how to break free are crucial."
"Learning is not just about acquiring knowledge. More importantly, it's about mastering scientific methods, learning how to analyze and solve problems and how to collect, process, select, and manage information."
The illustration teacher accurately controlled the timing of the class, finishing the planned content just as the bell rang.
Thus, their first class ended.
Vincent Wolf opened his phone, and he also had such an app, but since he didn't have money, he couldn't access many functions because he didn't have a membership.
He searched his bank account balance and found he had only a few hundred dollars left.
"I'm really too poor."
"I should find a chance to sell some things and add some money to my wallet, otherwise, I won't even be able to afford food."
He put away his phone, checked the schedule, and took out the textbooks for the next class.
The next class was a research course on pet beasts, focusing on studying and observing pet beasts.
The research focused on the external manifestation of beast attributes, the biological logic involved in the evolution of beast species, and the environment required for beasts to thrive.
The study also includes the observation on behavior of various elemental pet beasts and comparisons between wild pet beasts inside and outside the Hidden Realm.
"It seems that these two subjects are like liberal arts in the Beastmaster World."
Vincent Wolf looked around. Many people were secretly watching him, but no one dared to come over and talk to him.
"Indeed, pretending to be an iceberg does work, but I can't laugh too obviously or forget my image. That's quite uncomfortable."
"I'll see if I can learn any skills in the simulation to reduce my presence, or [Intimidation] would do, making people afraid when they see me."
No wonder Vincent Wolf was so resistant to interacting with the girls. He just felt that the girls in the Beastmaster World were too wild.
Their eyes seemed to regard him as a young girl, and interacting with them felt similar to interacting with his bros from his previous life.
They were really tough!
Their fists were hard!
Research teacher, Cora Thomas, arrived on time at the classroom for the class. She was also the head teacher of Vincent's class.
In the freshman and sophomore years, she taught history in their class, then switched to teaching the pet beast research course in their senior year of high school.
She was a serious middle-aged woman who didn't casually laugh or joke.
She seemed strict, and indeed she was.
But she was only strict when it came to academics. As the top student in the grade, Vincent received the utmost care from head teacher Cora.
After learning about Vincent's family, she helped him with scholarships and financial aids in various ways.
Cora also contracted a little bookworm, but her little bookworm had evolved into a pen spirit, which belonged to the Low-level Commander Species.
However, since Cora's Beast Tamer level hadn't reached Master level, her pen spirit remained a High-level Extraordinary.
"Class begins!"
Standing on the podium, Cora scanned the class with her sharp eyes, and the entire class fell silent, as if there was a terrifying beast sitting on the podium, exerting [Intimidation].
"Some students mentioned wanting to see my Pen Spirit a couple of weeks ago. I agreed but didn't keep my promise."
"It's not because I changed my mind. It's because I needed some time to prepare the materials."
After saying that, a summoning array appeared, and a black ink-like pet beast resembling a brush appeared in the air.
At the same time, Cora's PPT courseware opened, and she began her course.
"Little Bookworms and their higher evolutionary forms are unique species within Kyoto City's Four Star Secret Realm – the Literary Path Secret Realm."
"Beast Tamers can only contract them by entering the Secret Realm. However, the Four Star Secret Realm's places are very precious, so entering just for contracting might not be worth it."
"Therefore, various scholars and researchers have always tried to relocate some of these unique species from the Secret Realm, aiming to expand, industrialize, and standardize their species."
"It wasn't until modern times that the goal was finally achieved. I was also able to obtain a Little Bookworm thanks to this."
"Everyone, please look." Saying that, Cora turned her PPT to the next slide.
"Since the Four Star Secret Realm is top-secret, there are no leaked photos."
"However, there are many photos of Little Bookworm breeding bases. Please take a closer look."
"Next, open the textbook to page 28, and look at the definition of pet beast habitats and the impact of natural and human factors on them…"
Vincent Wolf flipped through the textbook, feeling déjà vu.
"Why does this feel similar to biology class from my previous life? Is this the simplicity of the Tao?"
The bell rang for the end of the class. Cora still had more to say, but she didn't drag the class out and left abruptly.
Vincent Wolf appreciated her for resisting the temptation to keep the class going. Such teachers were not ordinary.
When he checked the schedule just now, he memorized the upcoming classes as well.
The next two classes were actual combat classes.
Actual combat classes were held outdoors and usually lasted for two full periods.
Today's last two classes in the morning were for students from Class 1-5, while the last two classes in the afternoon were for students from Class 6-10.
"Actual combat class?" Vincent Wolf thought of the message Sebastian Wood sent him during the break, saying that a group of people wanted to teach him a lesson during the actual combat class.
Realizing that someone wanted to teach him a lesson, Vincent Wolf started to shiver.
Scared?
Wrong, he was excited!
Just thinking about a group of people lining up to get beaten by him made his loving iron fists itch.

Chapter 21
As for losing?
Sorry, please take a look at the panel below.
[Name: Barry (Slime)
[Attribute: Water
[Species Level: Low-grade Transcendent
[Growth Level: Awakening Level 5
[Racial Talent: Devour (Entry-level), Amplification (Entry-level)
[Skills: Fast Movement (Perfect), Water Sniping (Mastery), Collision (Mastery), Water Cannon (Beginner), Water Whirlpool (Beginner)
[Introduction: A slime summoned through the Dimensional Summoning Contract, it seems there's something odd about it.
"That year, I held Barry in my hands, not knowing who my opponents were."
Basically, the students in the school had just contracted their pet beasts about a month ago, and the most they could have trained them to reach was Awakening Level 3.
If they didn't carefully raise their pet beasts and directly used resources like Energy Fruit and Energy Crystals to increase their growth level, it would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
This would greatly damage their pet beast's potential, and basically no Beast Master would do it that way.
As for the Commander Species pet beasts, they indeed have strong combat power. But the higher their species level, the longer their growth cycle would be.
At this stage, they still couldn't compare with Vincent's Barry.
As Vincent was calculating how he could take advantage of more people, a commotion came from the surrounding area.
"So beautiful! Just like a doll!"
"One of the Campus Five Black? Why did he come?"
"He should be looking for Vincent."
Hearing someone mention his name, Vincent looked towards the door following the crowd's gaze.
A beautiful and delicate girl stood at the classroom door, dressed in a pink and white Lolita outfit that adorned her petite, curvaceous body. Exquisite patterns were woven on it, embellished with tiny, delicate dazzling gems.
Beneath the skirt, layers of pink lace that resembled waves draped over her white stockings, giving the entire outfit a dainty, sweet, and innocent vibe, just like a doll.
This scene startled Vincent for 2 seconds, only remembering who this doll-like girl was when she waved at him with a smile.
"Vincent!"
"Damn, Sebastian Wood?!"
Vincent recalled that this stunning girl, no, boy, was none other than his only friend, Sebastian Wood.
"Don't say anything yet, let me think." Vincent covered his eyes with both hands, contemplating information about Sebastian in his mind.
Sebastian Wood, male according to his ID card and himself, a senior high school student.
His parents owned a large women's clothing store, and treated him like a free model, dressing him in their company's designs since he was young.
Ranked as one of the Campus Five Black in Los Angeles's First Beast Master High School.
The chance encounter with Vincent was a cliché hero-rescues-damsel-in-distress story.
Vincent was the "damsel."
At that time, Vincent was confessed to by a girl, and as usual, he refused and casually mocked her a few times. However, she snapped and wanted to beat him up.
Sebastian saw the situation and intervened to save Vincent.
Afterward, the two became friends, not too close but not too distant, their relationship was rather lukewarm.
"I should've dug deeper into my memory about him. Before this, I only knew Sebastian was a guy, and didn't pay attention to anything else."
However, Vincent's inner turmoil was far from calm, as he felt an incongruity, and his sixth sense told him that Sebastian was a female.
After thinking for a while, Vincent finally understood the source of this incongruity.
"This guy must be a girl."
"Because there's no way a male could be as good-looking as me!"
He raised his head, eyes sparkling, and looked at the spot three inches below Sebastian's navel.
"Vincent, what are you…" Sebastian squirmed uncomfortably.
After staring for a few seconds, Vincent abandoned the idea of probing further, feeling that reaching out might lead to something terrible happening.
"It doesn't matter if this guy is a guy or a girl; why do I care?" Vincent scolded himself in his mind.
"I remember you're in Class Two, right? Why did you come to Class One?" Vincent asked.
"It's actual combat class next, and a lot of people wanted to challenge you. I saw your nonchalant attitude and came to warn you specially."
Sebastian said worriedly, "These guys are too much, they know you've just contracted a pet beast not long ago, and only contracted a slime… "
"Don't worry!" Vincent was eager, "Watch me smash their heads with my slime. No, I mean the pet beast's heads."
Sebastian wanted to say something, but Vincent had already followed his classmates out of the classroom, heading to the playground. Sebastian had no choice but to follow his steps.
About 200 students from Senior Year Classes 1 to 5 were required to attend the actual combat class on the playground.
With so many people from the five classes, the playground's area was adequately spacious.
Although the actual combat classes for all the classes were held simultaneously, they were not mixed together. Instead, they were separated by their classes and led by their respective actual combat teachers.
Vincent followed his classmates to Class One's designated location, lined up and waited for the teacher.
He glanced to his side, a little speechless.
"You seem to belong to Class Two, right?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you come to Class One for class?"
"Of course it's to protect you. Don't worry, my family invested so much in this, changing classes for lessons is just a small matter; the teacher won't say anything to me."
Hearing this, Vincent could only complain about how carefree the rich were.
Generally, the school didn't allow students to wear anything other than the school uniform from Monday to Friday. However, Sebastian's parents had given so much that the school had to let it slide.
Teachers were even told to turn a blind eye to other minor issues, like skipping class.
Vincent looked around, and even though he was eye-catching on his own, now that the equally eye-catching Sebastian was with him, the entire class's attention was on them.
To be honest, the pressure was pretty intense.
At this point, the actual combat class teacher, Zoey Green, came over. She was a Junior Master Beast Tamer, appearing to be just over twenty years old.
She had beautiful, fiery, wavy red hair, a voluptuous yet aggressive body, and a gorgeous face filled with aggression. Her alluring black eyes emitted a chilling glare that people dared not look at.
Zoey scanned the class. When she saw Sebastian, she hesitated for a moment, rolled her eyes helplessly, and immediately shifted her gaze to Vincent.
"You finally contracted a pet beast? It's a pity it's not a Three-tailed Fox." Zoey said to Vincent with some regret.
"There are no weak pet beasts, only weak Beast Masters. And my slime is much stronger than an ordinary slime."
Vincent summoned Barry into his arms, his words showing confidence in his pet beast.

Chapter 22
"There is no useless pet beast, only useless Beast Masters?" Zoey Green's eyes brightened.
"What you're saying does have some insight. I didn't see it wrong; you're indeed a good seed for a Beast Master! It's a pity that you haven't been able to make a contract, so we can't confirm whether you're a Combat Beast Master or not."
Combat type is one of the divisions in Beast Master types, Zoey Green belongs to this type, while others include Coordinative type, Breeding type, Medical Type, and Research Type.
Properly understanding which Beast Master type suits you will also help in the growth of your future Beast Master career.
After briefly communicating with Vincent Wolf, Zoey Green summoned her pet beast.
A gigantic ape of over three meters tall appeared from the summoning array.
It had fiery red fur, and its robust body contained explosive power. The ferocious, bloodthirsty gleam in its evil ape face was unmistakable.
Sebastian Wood next to Vincent had already opened the Illustration APP on his phone and began scanning the giant ape.
[Name: Exploding Great Ape
[Attribute: Fire
[Species Level: Lower level Commander
[Species Skill: Berserk (high-level), Fire Fist (middle-level), Emission of Fireball (low-level)
[Introduction: Evolved from the Fire Ape Monster. It possesses natural immense strength and an extremely fiery temper, usually spending its time fighting throughout the year. Attention: Once provoked, it won't give up until satisfied, so you'd better not try to avoid it.
Upon seeing the Exploding Great Ape's info panel, Vincent felt nervous, "Teacher Green wouldn't want us rookies to fight her Commander level pet beast, would she?"
"Classmates, everyone in the class has successfully contracted their pet beasts now." Zoey Green's mouth curled.
"It wasn't easy. It's been a month since the start of the school year, and someone hasn't had a single outdoor actual combat class." At that, laughter erupted all around, while Vincent himself couldn't help but chuckle a few times too.
Of course, Zoey Green was joking. She did indeed go to see Vincent at that time, but only to find out his situation.
Whether she brought medical expenses or not, Vincent didn't know, but she definitely didn't bring a fruit basket.
"Now that everyone has contracted their pet beasts, release them, as I need to understand everyone's pet beast's current level."
As Zoey Green spoke, more than forty students in the class released their pet beasts.
Animal-type pet beasts are the most common among students, such as wolves, dogs, insects, birds, followed by the rarer plant-type, such as Vine Monsters and Venus Flytraps. Even rarer are the elemental-type and spiritual-type, to which Slimes belong.
Zoey Green had previously seen the student's pet beast species in their files, so she asked them to release their pet beasts now to confirm it once more.
It also helped everyone in the class have a general understanding of their classmates' pet beasts.
Vincent looked at Sebastian's pet beast, a Thorny Flower Demon less than a meter tall. Its body was made up of vines, covered in thorns, resembling a female figure with a blooming rose in each hand.
Vincent borrowed Sebastian's phone and scanned it.
[Name: Thorny Flower Demon
[Attribute: Grass
[Species Level: Lower level Commander
[Species Skill: Earth Power (high-level), Absorb (middle-level), Whip Vine (low-level)
[Introduction: A flower demon covered in spikes, with a delicate and soft heart, that syncs its own emotions with the Beast Master's mood.
"A Thorny Flower Demon? Very rare!"
Vincent leaned down, feeling curious.
He had never seen this kind of grass-type pet beast before, so he couldn't help but be curious.
The little Thorny Flower Demon, being stared at so fervently by Vincent, shyly hid behind Sebastian. However, it couldn't help but peek at Vincent from time to time.Zoey Green clapped her hands at this time.
"Alright, everyone calm down."
"I'll tell you the main task for the next two classes."
"In the previous lessons, I've already taught you some basic knowledge needed for pet beast battles, so we can put the theoretical stuff aside for now."
"Next is to find your own shortcomings and those of your pet beasts through fighting. I'll also observe your battles to plan your future lessons."
"Everyone should pair up and fight as a team. If someone hasn't formed a team, I'll guide them."
"Don't be afraid of your pet beasts getting hurt. The school has a dedicated medical team, and I and Exploding Great Ape will be watching on the side."
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole class's eyes fell on Vincent Wolf.
Vincent, on the other hand, looked at Sebastian Wood.
"Is all of this in your plan?"
Sebastian winked smugly.
"I'll go easy on you!"
Honestly, Vincent didn't want to team up with Sebastian Wood for a fight.
Because the attribute of Thorny Flower Demon is the Grass Type, and his Barry is the Water System.
How could they fight?
Water System skills would be restrained when fighting a Thorny Flower Demon, causing reduced damage.
And Barry's ordinary skills require getting close, but the Thorny Flower Demon's whole body has thorns. Wouldn't getting close be like getting stabbed all over?
It's a hedgehog!
"I won't team up with you; I'll find someone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Vincent saw Sebastian's face turn gloomy within a few seconds, as if he would burst into tears at any moment.
Those who were secretly eavesdropping around, both men and women, were excited.
Girls were hoping to ignite a spark of love with Vincent in battle.
Boys wanted to beat Vincent up for daring to toy with the pure and kind-hearted Three-tailed Fox.
"Excuse me, teacher, can we team up with people from other classes?" At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.
Vincent looked up and saw a girl walking over. She had a golden ponytail at the back of her head, a lively and beautiful face, and clear, gem-like light blue eyes. She was quite tall, with slender, long legs wrapped in black knee-high stockings, and a very thin waist.
As soon as he saw her, Vincent gritted his teeth, because she was the human female who had defeated and subdued him in the second simulation.
Perhaps, coincidentally, Sebastian had come to his rescue on the occasion when she had wanted to beat him up.
"Elly Wale, it's you again!" Sebastian stepped forward and stood in front of Vincent.
"That's right, it's me!" Elly Wale proudly puffed up her small chest.
"You've been following Vincent like a ghost all the time. What do you want?"
"I want…"
"Vincent already clearly rejected you back then, what more do you want!"
As soon as she heard this, Elly Wale's anger rose.
"You ask me what I want? Why don't you ask him? It's fine that he said I have a small chest, but he even said that I played too many galgames…"
"I play Otome Games, damn it!"

Chapter 23
Vincent gestured to an objection to it, "Seems like there's something weird about the way this kid broke the defense. Isn't this just a game?"
Though thoroughly engrossed, Teacher Zoey Green still voiced her opinion.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your fun, but this is a classroom. Any disputes can be settled after class," she said.
"As to who wants to team up with whom, I really don't care. The purpose of this lesson is to gauge your battle skills, no other requirements."
Sebastian wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Vincent. "I was just thinking about sparring with her. You can watch from the sidelines."
Elly Wale walked forward triumphantly, while Sebastian took on the look of someone about to burst into tears. Comparing the two, Sebastian seemed like a defeated dog.
"Hey, don't rush. We want to compete with this Vincent Wolf, one of the infamous Five Black."
"Yeah, I also want to witness the prowess of a Beast Master who can contract with a high-level commander."
"I wonder if our top student is also number one when it comes to controlling beasts?"
Seeing Elly successfully challenging Vincent, a few male and female students from other classes who were watching also entered the Class One area, intending to compete with Vincent.
These few people looked like they were just brimming with malice.
"Enough already! Trying to bully people from Class One? Do you think we're invisible?"
The students in Class One couldn't bear to watch any longer. Over forty people, including their pet beasts, all immediately surrounded them.
Seeing themselves surrounded by people, the few retreated noticeably, appearing unassertive.
"You want to see our prowess? Are forty of us enough for you to handle?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Since when did Vincent become part of the Five Black?"
"Vincent was indeed part of the Five Black, but only for one day. Then, after his speech from the podium, he was removed from the Five Black."
"What's this Five Black?" Vincent had heard this term a few times over the past few days.
He reflected on it, but didn't have much of an impression of this term in his memory.
He only knew that the Campus Five Black represented the five strangest people in campus, including Sebastian.
As for the other four, Vincent hadn't looked into them.
He went onto the school forum to search the keywords "Campus Five Black" "Vincent".
A few posts popped up, Vincent clicked on the first one:
[Vincent Wolf – Brief Leader of the Campus Five Black.
Title: Master of Rejecting Confessions.
Record: According to reliable records (recordings), maximum one-day record of rejecting 73 confessions, while delivering a uniquely tailored verbal put-down for each one, with no duplicate among the 73 cases.
Introduction: The only generally recognized school hunk of Seattle Emperial High School. Capable of manipulating hearts, he uses vitriolic words and disdainful eyes to ridicule those confessing their feelings to him. According to incomplete records, 33% of confessions produce unique fetishes after being rejected, and have been rejected multiple times afterward.
2.0 version update: Confirmed rejection of contract with the Commander Species Three-tailed Fox but contracted with Slime instead, thus officially becoming Campus Five Black and ranking first.
2.1 version update: After his own 'clarification', on the second day of ranking first among the Campus Five Black, he recommitted the contract with the Three-tailed Fox. Henceforth he is no longer part of the Campus Five Black.]
"Master of Rejecting Confessions? Can't they come up with a better name than that?"
Vincent only regretted not having a mechanical property pet beast, or else he'd have followed the internet line and given the person who posted a severe beating.
Seeing the pitiful few surrounded by many, Vincent said, "Don't bully them anymore, it's really pitiful. I'll bully them myself."
Then he pointed casually.
"You, come here. Let's have a match."
The one pointed at quickly squeezed out from the crowd, flattering and bowing all the way, for fear of being beaten up for not doing enough.
"Hello big brother, my pet beast is a high-level extraordinary species, Fighting Chicken, my name is…"
"Enough, I don't care what your name is."
Vincent cleared a space in the crowd and had Barry take the middle of the arena, facing the Fighting Chicken at a certain distance.
"I'll be the referee!" Elly Wale jumped at the opportunity and rushed to take the place.
"You know, isn't it a bit dull to start a fight like this?" Vincent commented lazily.
"What do you want to do?" Suddenly, his opponent grew confident as the fight was about to begin.
"There should be some stakes."
"Pffft, what do you want to bet?" His opponent couldn't help but laugh. A Slime had the confidence to raise the stakes?
"The loser has to bark like a dog. What do you think?"
"You… " His opponent was taken back a bit. Was it possible that the Master of Rejecting Confessions now had a new hobby? To bark like a dog in public?
He wanted to agree, but when glancing at the surrounding crowd, he felt it improper. After all, it would be bad if he won the match but had to stay in the hospital for a month.
"Let's add a condition. The loser has to bark like a dog, but if you don't want to bark, you can compensate with money." His opponent thought, if I have made concessions, and if Vincent barks like a dog, then it's his problem, not mine.
"Sure." Vincent then asked Sebastian, "How much money do you have?"
The implication was that if he lost, he would borrow money from Sebastian to pay off the debt.
"Are you asking about my pocket money, or my bank deposits, or company shares, or real estate, or bonds, or…"
"Okay, you can use five hundred Cathay currency to compensate."
After talking, Vincent signaled to Elly that they could start the fight.
"Alright, get ready… Now… Begin!"
The Fighting Chicken is a gold attribute pet beast. The most common skill among the gold attributes is the low-grade [Hardening].
As the battle began, Fighting Chicken lunged forward, its wings flapping and its whole body shimmering with a metallic gloss. It was as if it had put on an invisible layer of armor. Its sharp beak, as sharp as a dagger, charged straight at Barry.
"[Rapid Movement] to the back of the Fighting Chicken, then use [Spit Water]!" Vincent passed on his command through the Beast Control Contract.
Although the other's Beast Master wasn't great, the Fighting Chicken was indeed strong among high-level extraordinary species, so he could not be careless.
With the perfect level of [Rapid Movement, only an afterimage could be seen. Barry almost instantaneously appeared behind the Fighting Chicken. A jet stream hit the Fighting Chicken, sending it flying several meters.
"Ah! My Fighting Chicken!" Seeing his Fighting Chicken hit, his opponent immediately cried out.
"Wait for the chance, continue with [Spit Water]."
Because the opponent's Fighting Chicken had activated the Hardening skill, although their Hardening skill was at a low proficiency level, it still reduced a certain amount of damage, so its fighting capacity was still intact.
Seeing that his Fighting Chicken was okay, the opponent let out a sigh of relief, then became noticeably nervous because he realized Vincent's Slime was not as weak as he had imagined.
Vincent frowned slightly. Due to the Fighting Chicken's hardening ability, its defense and physical attacks were very strong, which forced him to rely on long-range attacks.

Chapter 24
If Barry also used Charge for close combat against the Fighting Chicken, and the Fighting Chicken wasn't knocked down with one hit, it would take the opportunity to peck or wing Barry, causing massive damage.
Ultimately, it was because the Slime species had weak base attributes and lacked defensive skills.
It seems that only fighting against pet beasts with water attributes is too one-sided. It's better to fight against pet beasts with different attributes to understand one's shortcomings.
But Vincent Wolf had already won this round.
Because the Fighting Chicken was not as fast as Barry, had no ranged skills, and had less energy.
As long as he kited a few times, Barry could clear the stage without injury.
This was indeed what Vincent planned.
No matter how hard the Fighting Chicken tried, it couldn't catch up with Barry after using [Rapid Movement, and it was played around in circles.
After enduring two [Spit Water] attacks, the Fighting Chicken finally lost its fighting ability and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"The Fighting Chicken has lost its fighting ability, so the winner is Vincent Wolf!" Elly Wale raised her right hand on time.
"How about that? Come on, shout out a few times."
"Damn it, give me the QR code for payment!" The other party was even a bit proud, proud that they had added additional conditions so they didn't need to imitate a dog's bark.
"Ahem, gambling is not allowed, you should just learn to bark like a dog, it's not illegal." Zoey Green reminded him at this moment.
"What gambling? This is just a small token of thanks to Brother Vincent for taking out his precious time to give me a valuable lesson on pet beast real battles. Right, brother?"
Vincent nodded, and his meal money was settled.
"You are a teachable young man, you have learned well, and your Fighting Chicken is not bad either. Just needs to learn some displacement skills."
"Thank you for your guidance, brother." He transferred the money while expressing his gratitude loudly.
"Next one!" Vincent said.
The next one was a girl, her pet beast was an Intermediate Transcendent species Moon Rabbit.
"I admit defeat!"
Without starting the fight, the other party directly admitted defeat.
Seeing the previous match, everyone understood how powerful Vincent's Slime was, and it was quite reasonable for the other girl to concede.
"No need to bark like a dog, next." Vincent had no bad taste, and the other party didn't cause any actual harm to him, so it didn't matter whether they barked or not.
"No! I'll abide by the gambling agreement, I have to bark!" The girl at the other party had a look of maidenly affection, her body trembling slightly as she looked at Vincent.
"Do you have any kind of sickness? If you have an illness, get treatment as soon as possible. Elly Wale, drag her away, next one!" Vincent mercilessly let Elly Wale handle her.
"Alright!"
Not only was Elly Wale tall, but she was also quite strong. She directly dragged the girl away.
The next one called their pet beast into the temporary battle area as soon as they stepped in.
It was a High-level Extraordinary species Iron Feathered Hawk, a flying attribute pet.
"Seeing Barry's performance and still having confidence to get on stage, it's not easy to deal with."
Vincent pondered.
The Iron Feathered Hawk's speed was much slower than Barry's after using Fast Movement, but it didn't need to consume energy.
And if Barry was caught by its talons, it would be a losing outcome.
"Shall we start?" The opponent this time didn't drag things out, and directly initiated the battle.
"Okay." Vincent nodded his head.
"Alright, everyone get ready… Now… Start!"
"Barry, use [Rapid Movement] to dodge!"
At the start of the battle, Barry used Rapid Movement to dodge the Iron Feathered Hawk's [Rapid Movement].
"Both sides have comprehended [Rapid Movement]!" Sebastian Wood was surprised because, although Rapid Movement was a low-grade skill, it was quite difficult to comprehend at this stage.
"This Slime is so fast!"
The opponent felt uneasy, but before he could issue a command, Vincent had already followed up with a second command after the first command.
"Use [Rush, and use [Doubling] during the Rush!"
The Iron Feathered Hawk briefly paused on the ground after using Rapid Movement. It didn't expect that just as it was about to fly back into the sky, it would be hit by Barry's doubled charge and was slammed heavily to the ground.
"Finally, use [Spit Water]!"
With a successful Spit Water hitting the target, the Iron Feathered Hawk lost its fighting ability and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
The battle ended in a flash, even faster and more decisive than the one against the Fighting Chicken.
"I'm inferior to your skills, I admire you." After squeezing out two pretentious words, the other party paid the money and left the scene with their Iron Feathered Hawk.
"Yo, not bad at all. You really have a talent as a Combat Beast Master. But did you guess or predict it? How did you know the other party would use [Rapid Movement]?" Zoey Green approached and asked.
"Yeah, Vincent, how did you know? Are you that powerful?" Sebastian Wood also followed suit with the question.
"It was just a guess, I purely guessed."
As if he really guessed!
Vincent had already raised his Fast Movement skill to the Perfect Level of proficiency in the simulation.
Not only his own skills but also whether the opponent had released a skill could be clearly known.
The other party's Iron Feathered Hawk had been preparing Rapid Movement in the sky, essentially telling Vincent loudly that it was going to use the skill and he should dodge it!
The other party's Rapid Movement was only at the entry-level, and there was a brief cooldown after releasing the skill.
Vincent judged and seized this point, which allowed him to win so easily. Otherwise, it would be really hard to predict the outcome of the match, as flying had too many advantages.
"Come on, come on, next one!"
In the blink of an eye, the amount of money in Vincent's wallet had broken four digits, and he was eager to look forward to the next battles.
"I admit defeat!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
The remaining few people admitted defeat one after another.
They were not stupid. The two High-level Extraordinary pet beasts that had previously gone on stage were stronger than their own, so they naturally didn't want to get beaten for no reason.
No, that's not right.
It should be said that they didn't want to pay for the beating.
"You guys really have no backbone!"
Since others had admitted defeat and didn't want to fight with Vincent, he couldn't bring himself to ask them for money, so he could only watch several 500 Cathay currency bills fly away.
"Vincent, it's our turn now, right?" Elly Wale approached.
It's time to teach you a lesson!
"But the wager needs to be changed." Elly Wale said.
"What do you want to change it to?"
"I want you to play Otome Games!" Elly Wale's eyes were full of dangerous aura.
"Why are you still dwelling on this?" Vincent was speechless. Can we turn the page on this matter? "I know you are an Otome Games player. I think Otome Games are great, long live Otome Games, alright?"
"I won't accept such perfunctory attitude!" Elly Wale was full of fighting spirit as if her whole person was ablaze.
No, it's not just an illusion, her whole person was indeed wrapped in a layer of flames.
Seeing Vincent's surprised gaze, Elly Wale began to speak.
"This is my Beast-controlling Talent [Fighting Spirit Enhancement]."
"It can enhance the various attributes and skill power of my pet beast according to my fighting spirit."

Chapter 25
Immediately following, her pet beast appeared in front of Vincent.
It was a snow-white Frost Giant Wolf, standing as tall as Elly Wale's waist, with a body length of about two to three meters, a sturdy physique, and frost-covered fur.
At this moment, the Frost Giant Wolf also had a layer of flames wrapping around it, making Vincent clearly feel that its fighting spirit was as high as Elly's!
"This guy's Beast-controlling Talent is actually of the enhancement type," Vincent said, his eyelids twitching slightly.
Beast-controlling Talents are quite diverse and can generally be divided into enhancement types and special types.
Elly's fighting spirit enhancement talent is of the enhancement type.
Vincent's [Dimension Summon] and [Simulation] are of the special type.
Enhancement types can enhance various abilities of the Beast Master and pet beast, such as combat, detection, and medical abilities.
As for special types, they encompass all sorts of strange abilities.
In the previous two matches, Vincent didn't see his opponents use their Beast-controlling Talents, either because they were not of the enhancement type or because they used them, but Vincent didn't notice.
The opponent's Frost Giant Wolf should have just formed a contract recently, meaning it was at the Awakening Level 1 level, but under the blessing of the fighting spirit enhancement, Vincent could feel it had at least the strength of Awakening Level 3.
During the second simulation, the memory of the Frost Giant Wolf that defeated Vincent was also only at Awakening Level 3.
Vincent originally thought that his Slime would have no pressure against the current Frost Giant Wolf, but he didn't expect Elly to be able to give her pet beast a buff.
This was a miscalculation, as he had not thought of this possibility.
Barry also remembered the Frost Giant Wolf in front of him.
The memory infusion in the simulation made Barry experience the events in the simulation from a first-person perspective.
So, the feeling of being defeated was very real, and facing the opponent who once defeated it, Barry felt somewhat apprehensive.
The Frost Giant Wolf walked gracefully towards the battlefield, its terrifying wolf grin split open, with strands of cold air gushing out from between its sharp tusks, looking extremely ferocious.
"Believe in yourself! The opponent is not as invincible as before, and you are now much stronger than before!"
Feeling Barry's transmitted fear and panic, Vincent continuously encouraged him.
Vincent's words, filled with trust and encouragement, gradually calmed Barry down.
"It's a pity, if only I had used Simulation again this morning, this little wolf would have had no chance of defeating Barry."
Thinking of this, Vincent couldn't find a solution, as he couldn't start another Simulation now.
That's because starting Simulation required Vincent's physical strength, and without it, Vincent would be unable to move.
In this place, where wolves lurked, if he couldn't move, he didn't know what would happen.
"Let's get started when you're ready!"
As Elly gave the command, the battle began.
At the start of the match, Barry and the Frost Giant Wolf did not move an inch.
The Frost Giant Wolf stared fiercely at Barry, attempting to pressure him into revealing a weakness.
However, Barry had experienced hundreds of battles in the simulation, and the initial panic was just from some lingering shadows in his memory. At this point, he had regained his spirit and was focused on the duel, shaking off the influence.
"Frost Giant Wolf, use [Cold Fog]!" Unable to keep her composure any longer, Elly issued a command to her Frost Giant Wolf through their contract, and the attack began.
Upon receiving the command, the Frost Giant Wolf immediately opened its huge mouth, and strands of white fog with ice crystals rapidly poured out from it, spreading to the surroundings.
"It's [Cold Fog] – dodge it!"
Vincent knew this skill, as the opponent had used it in the simulation as well.
Cold Fog is a low-grade talent of the Frost Giant Wolf, whose effect is to greatly reduce the speed of touched pet beasts. For water attribute elemental species like Slime, the effect is even more pronounced.
However, it seemed that Cold Fog was not the opponent's main training skill; its proficiency was only at the entry-level stage.
With the range of entry-level Cold Fog not being very large, Barry easily dodged and went outside its range.
However, the figure of the Frost Giant Wolf within the white fog had become somewhat blurred and difficult to discern.
"Quickly dodge!"
With an extremely quick reaction, Barry's body transformed into an afterimage in an instant, avoiding the Frost Giant Wolf's sharp claws that burst out from the Cold Fog.
"Aim for the waist and use [Rush]!"
Immediately after dodging, Barry directly charged towards the waist and abdomen of the Frost Giant Wolf.
Bang!
"Awoo—"
The Frost Giant Wolf howled painfully as its entire body flew several meters sideways.
"My Little Snow Wolf!" Elly cried out in shock.
"You're too cheeky! You can't hit or defend. What kind of speed is that?"
Elly's fighting spirit visibly waned, and her once erected waist softened.
The Frost Giant Wolf struggled to get up, its momentum returning to its original point, its fighting spirit dissipated, and it whimpered continuously.
"Does your Frost Giant Wolf only have one skill?" Vincent asked.
"Yes, Little Snow Wolf currently only has the [Cold Fog] talent, and the other skills are still being learned." Elly became even more disheartened.
Vincent asked the question because the Frost Giant Wolf did not have only one skill in the simulation; it had also learned Frost Armor and Frost Claw.
If the opponent had the skill Frost Armor, Vincent wouldn't dare to let Barry use Charge.
That's because Frost Armor not only protected the wolf but also slowed down its attacker, making it dangerous to fight recklessly in close combat.
As for using a ranged skill, the Frost Giant Wolf could use Cold Fog, with Spitting Water being unable to ensure a hit rate. Even if it did hit, the opponent would have Frost Armor to reduce damage.
"How did you train for this month? Even this one skill hasn't reached the proficient stage?"
Vincent didn't believe it. When he trained in the simulation, the proficiency of a skill reached the Mastery Stage within eighteen days.
The compatible [Rapid Movement] skill even reached Mastery in just four days.
"It usually takes a month for a pet beast to barely reach the proficient stage of a low-grade skill, and I haven't had the contract for a month yet."
"Besides, Little Snow Wolf is still learning other skills, so it's not possible to train that fast!"
Elly's voice grew smaller and smaller.
"No, but is that all you got? You're this eager to challenge with just that?" Vincent wondered.
"…" Elly couldn't say anything. How could she have known that a Slime that had just contracted for less than two days could be so powerful?
"Oh, I see. I think the reason your wolf lost so quickly is because your fire burned quite well. It must have melted the ice on the Frost Giant Wolf when it attached to it, right?" Vincent said, looking as if he suddenly understood.
"Ugh—"
Elly let out a cry, her long legs swiftly taking her away, with the tailed Frost Giant Wolf trailing behind.
"That's the usual Vincent. That's more comfortable."
The classmates in the classroom silently nodded their heads. They had not heard Vincent's sharp words for the past two days, and their hearts felt like something was missing, but now they felt much better.

Chapter 26
Vincent finally got his revenge from the Saturday Simulation!
Refreshing!
But Vincent suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted at the escaping Elly Wale: "Wait! You lost the bet and haven't paid yet!"
Hearing this, Elly stopped running and turned around with difficulty, walking back as if she was heading to the guillotine.
After a while, in Vincent's puzzled eyes, Elly walked up to him and resolutely said, "A good daughter should be willing to bet and lose. I won't play Otome games anymore!"
Her voice was loud and clear, but the corners of her eyes were filled with painful tears.
"Hmm? When did I bet on that with you?" Vincent wondered.
"I proposed that if I win, you'll play Otome games, so if I lose, I shouldn't be allowed to play Otome games anymore!" She was very adamant.
"What does it have to do with me whether you play or not?" Vincent was speechless, "I was talking about the bet that you have to bark like a dog and pay money to avoid."
"So in this case, do I just need to bark like a dog a few times?" Elly's tears stopped, her face full of expectation.
"Since you said you'd stop playing Otome games, I've changed my mind, and you shouldn't play them anymore."
Vincent saw that Elly was on the verge of breaking down again and quickly said the next words.
"But the additional condition is still valid. You can avoid the bet by giving 2,000 Cathay currency."
After hearing this, Elly quickly took out her mobile phone, but was a bit surprised, "Wasn't it 500 before?"
Vincent was furious, reprimanding, "What the hell do you think Otome games are? Can 500 bucks represent their value? At least 2,000 bucks!"
"Stupid me, why didn't I think of such a simple thing!" Elly suddenly realized and slapped herself, "Yes, how could something so sacred be represented by a mere 500 bucks! I'll pay 5,000!"
"What, 5,000 can represent your heart?" Vincent was heartbroken!
"No, then 10,000! No, 50,000! Damn it, 50,000 obviously can't represent it either!" Elly was getting more and more upset with herself, "I'll transfer you a million right now!"
Vincent's eyelids twitched violently.
"Enough, 50,000 is enough. The god of Otome games has seen your determination, save the rest of your money to buy games."
Vincent stopped Elly from raising the price by grabbing her hand. 50,000 was enough; any more and her parents would come to his door accusing him of fraud.
After hearing this, Elly was moved to tears, "I was wrong. You value Otome games so much. I misunderstood you. You must be the angel sent to earth by the god of Otome games!"
Sebastian: ???
Sebastian: Can someone explain to me what's going on now?
…
Vincent was filled with joy as he looked at the balance in his bank card.
50,001.
"These nouveau riche are really rich! No wonder they can contract commander species of pet beasts!"
Although Vincent is now worth tens of millions, he doesn't want to sell those resources unless necessary.
Some resources can't be easily bought, and to purchase the desired resources, sometimes one needs luck. They might even need to go to the Beast Tamer Association to commission a bounty or go to the Auction House to participate in auctions.
Low-level commander resources, in particular, are very precious.
Without any practical needs, the hoarding mouse Vincent doesn't want to sell his resources casually.
"Vincent, you really surprised the teacher!"
Zoey Green walked up to Vincent quietly and whispered.
"Tea-teacher!" Vincent jumped in fright.
"What do you think, will you consider becoming a combat Beast Tamer in the future?"
Zoey's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and Vincent felt as if he was about to be burned alive.
"I noticed that your slim seems to have several skills, even high-level ones like [Doubling, and that [Rapid Movement] is obviously not ordinary. The power of [Spit Water] cannot be underestimated either, and its level is definitely more than Awakening Level 1. How did you train? As far as I know, you have had the slime contract for no more than two days!"
Zoey spoke slowly, but Vincent could hear her strong desire for knowledge and thirst for power.
"I didn't do anything. It's all Barry, my slime, who is very talented and trained on its own. I think it may be a variant species." Vincent said with a bitter smile.
"I see." Zoey didn't get angry when she heard Vincent's perfunctory words, but the aggressiveness in her eyes rose even higher.
"The teacher will give you proper guidance in future actual combat classes and training classes!"
Vincent's forehead was full of cold sweat. Zoey happened to be their class's actual combat and training teacher, so he might suffer in the future.
However, he wasn't afraid. Based on his understanding of her over the past month, Zoey was just a combat maniac who liked to increase her power.
Moreover, teacher's restrictions were plenty. If she threatened him and he reported her, Zoey would be immediately suspended and investigated. If the allegations were confirmed, she would be penalized according to the highest criminal penalty.
Anyway, even two junior Master Beast Tamers would not be a match for Dragon Town. If there was any danger, he would just use Dragon Town.
After Zoey left, Sebastian cautiously approached Vincent and asked, "Vincent, you haven't teamed up with me yet."
With a cry of pain, Vincent squatted down and held the slime in his arms, anxiously asking, "Barry, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
"What? You just can't fight anymore because you've spent too much energy in too many battles? Oh no, how am I supposed to agree to my only friend's request to team up?"
"What? You think you might suddenly die if you keep fighting? But that's my only friend's request! Can I refuse and still be considered human?"
Barry was dumbfounded in Vincent's arms, not knowing what had happened.
Vincent secretly pinched Barry, then used the Beast Control Contract to issue a command to it.
Barry suddenly understood and hurriedly turned its watery big eyes into a mosquito coil-like appearance. Then it tilted its head, pretending to pass out.
Seeing this, Sebastian quickly asked, "Vincent, is your slime okay? If not, we can compare again next time."
"Alright, next time for sure, next time for sure." As soon as Vincent heard this, he immediately threw Barry to the ground and calmly stood up and walked leisurely to the side.
Barry also recovered from its mosquito coil-like appearance, hopping and skipping to follow Vincent.
"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Sebastian looked at Vincent, then at Barry, and then at his Thorny Flower Demon, his mind in chaos, unable to comprehend this 'medical miracle' happening before his eyes.
After successfully getting rid of Sebastian's team invitation, Vincent began to watch the battles between his classmates.
"Wow! Impressive!"
As soon as Vincent looked, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chapter 27
Who would've known? One look and it's shocking.
It's really intense!
Whoever thought of this, to have a huge brawl.
Over forty pet beasts participated in this chaotic battle, with beast masters occasionally withdrawing their pet beasts that had lost their fighting capacity back to beast space.
Some Beast Masters also seemed to be casting various buffs on their pet beasts, as evident by the different glows around them.
Vincent found a corner, and while making sure no one was watching, secretly took a bag of chips out of his Space Bracelet.
"Idiot! Is that how you use [Rush]?"
Crunch crunch
"Why are you biting its head when it's so hard? Bite its butt!"
Crunch crunch
"Yeah, yeah, that's how to use [Claw Strike]. Aim accurately for its vital parts!"
Crunch crunch
"Damn it, can't you aim your fireball properly? Your target is on the east and you launch it on the west!"
Crunch crunch
Suddenly, Vincent's head was heavily slapped.
"Which genius… oh, it's you, Miss Zoey Green. What can I do for you?"
He stood up while covering his head, ready to curse, but when he saw who it was, he swallowed his words.
"You're bored, huh? Eating chips here!" Zoey glanced at the chips and glared at Vincent.
"No, I'm attentively studying the advanced fighting techniques of my classmates. As for these, they're my treasure for concentrating. Not just simple chips."
"If you're bored, come with me. Let your Slime practice with my Exploding Great Ape," Zoey ignored Vincent's nonsense.
"Ah, yours is a legitimate Commander level, mine is just Slime…"
Vincent felt Zoey was taking personal revenge.
But when he thought about Slime being bloodily tortured by Exploding Great Ape, Vincent's heart ached.
He gritted his teeth and stomped, thinking, "Whatever it takes, even disregarding my charm, I can't let Barry suffer such abuse!"
With determination, Vincent took a step forward and blocked Zoey's waist under her panicked gaze.
With his right hand, he gently grabbed her chin, lifted it slightly, and stared deeply into her eyes as he whispered seductively into her ear.
"Slime may not be able to defeat you, but teacher, do you think I could be your victor?"
After he said that, Vincent softly blew into Zoey's ear.
Bam –
"Ah!"
Vincent was tripped to the ground with a hook from Zoey's right leg, letting out a scream.
"Boring, I'm leaving!"
As Vincent lay on the ground, he didn't see Zoey's ear, which was already red as if she was about to bleed.
"I knew the teacher wasn't the kind of person who is shallow and infatuated with male charm."
Vincent admired her. People who were so pure that it was terrifying were rare nowadays.
"Otherwise, I might have lost both Slime and myself this time."
"Barry, thank Vincent quickly!"
On the side, Barry saw the scene of his master being injured for him, and was deeply moved. However, without a mouth, Barry couldn't say anything and could only hop restlessly.
After losing the harassment of Zoey, Vincent leisurely passed the entire morning's class and reached lunchtime.
Vincent followed his classmates back to the class, and as soon as he sat down, he noticed something was wrong.
"What's in this drawer?"
He pulled the drawer under his desk.
Whoosh –
A large pile of white or pink letters filled Vincent's sight; over a dozen even flew out because the drawer was too full.
"What's going on?!"
Vincent was dumbfounded. How was this possible, and how could so many letters fit in a small drawer?
That's against the laws of physics!
But then he remembered this was Beastmaster World, and he was relieved.
Counting the letters one by one, he found that there were over a hundred.
"Come on."
"How can there be so many all of a sudden!"
Vincent recalled that the most letters he had received in a single day was seventy-three, according to the record in that post.
"Why is it so annoying!"
The previous Vincent was contradictory. If he wasn't gentle, he could simply ignore it, but he purposely met all seventy-three confessors.
If he was gentle, he'd scold the confessors after rejecting them.
However, that scolding was obviously only possible after analyzing the other party, which meant he was actually paying attention to each of the confessors.
But today's Vincent was different from the previous one. He had no interest in speaking malicious words to strangers, nor could he endure seeing heartbroken girls because of his rejection.
"Is it okay to just throw it in the trash?"
Vincent thought so, but then thought it was a bit of a scoundrel act.
So he came up with an idea and found a large cardboard box in the class. He threw the letters into it and then sealed the top of the box with tape.
He punched a fist-sized hole in the side, and on the top, cut a small slot, like a donation box to drop the letters in.
On the box, he wrote:
One per person, no multiple submissions!
One person per day, randomly chosen!
A catchphrase: Double rest on weekends!
"That should work," said Vincent, nodding with satisfaction.
"It's not only convenient for me but also doesn't completely shatter their hopes. Perfect!"
Seeing so many love letters, he could imagine the disaster if he had gone to the cafeteria.
He placed his hands in the drawer, conjured up some bread, and started eating.
At that moment, Sebastian, who had just brought back lunch from the class, looked at the box in surprise.
"Vincent, what's this?"
"Oh, this is a love letter box. Whoever wants to confess can drop a letter here. I'll draw one a day and reject the confession," Vincent replied while eating.
Sebastian's delicate face was full of admiration
"So there's such a method! I've learned something!"
"Do you get a lot of love letters every day too?" Vincent looked at Sebastian and felt he had asked a pointless question.
"No, they're threat letters," Sebastian said proudly.
"?"
"All of them are asking me to stay away from you. Oh, and some threat letters want me to duel in fencing with them. I don't quite understand what that means, why do we have to duel in fencing not beast battle?" Sebastian asked curiously with wide eyes.
"Puff -"
Vincent nearly squirted out the milk he was drinking, almost landing it on Sebastian.
"You don't know the meaning of fencing?" Vincent wiped the white liquid from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't expect this world to have such a term; it must be different paths leading to the same destination.
"Does it have another meaning?"
"Uh…" Vincent hesitated to say it directly, "It means that the other person wants to get closer to you."

Chapter 28
"The relationship becomes better?"
Sebastian Wood finally understood.
"So, fencing can actually improve relationships!"
"Then let's fence too!" Sebastian excitedly shouted.
Instantly, everyone in the class focused their attention on Sebastian and Vincent Wolf.
"So it's that kind of relationship! I get it now!"
"Yi~ No wonder he rejected everyone, he doesn't like girls."
"I think they make a great pair, if I were a boy, I'd like Sebastian too."
"Actually, thinking about it, the two of them together isn't bad; I'll dream about it tonight."
"No! My orientation is normal!" Vincent Wolf quickly shouted, "You over there, what are you sending to your phone? You don't know the consequences, be careful, I'll have my lawyer sue you for slander!"
"Don't be shy, everyone will understand you!"
The person gave him a thumbs-up, and the gleaming white teeth reflected a flash of light.
…
"Finally left."
Before the afternoon class, Sebastian Wood reluctantly left.
"What is this guy, male or female?" Vincent was still puzzled.
"I've decided to temporarily classify Sebastian's gender as Quantum."
"If there are people who are both male and female, then set it as imaginary."
The afternoon classes were potion class and training class.
Like actual combat classes, training classes also went for two periods.
Potion teacher Zack Cameron was a wise-looking old man with white hair, rumored to have obtained the Master-level title in the Pharmacist Association.
A master's level ranking among pharmacists includes a significantly higher level than a master of Beast Masters and commands great respect.
However, Zack Cameron, as a Los Angeles native, decided to contribute to his hometown by becoming a regular high school teacher after retiring.
Zack Cameron lived up to his Master-rank as a pharmacist; his teachings were easy to understand and occasionally demonstrated how to create potions on the spot, so the whole class respected him and took the class very seriously.
Vincent Wolf also listened carefully because it was essential for him.
There were many resources in the Space Bracelet, some of which he didn't understand their effects, or even which pet beasts to use them on. The only thing he could determine was their level based on the energy size.
These things were not easy to research since he couldn't describe them.
After all, how can you look up something if you don't even know the name?
Now he had a chance because potion class teaches how to recognize various resources.
To avoid the tragic accident of misunderstanding precious resources and missing out due to lack of recognition.
But Vincent Wolf always felt that potion class was similar to chemistry, with different combinations and reactions among various resources.
After a fulfilling potion class, it was time for the training class.
Vincent Wolf sent a message to Sebastian Wood in advance, telling him not to come.
Regardless of the buzzing phone vibrating non-stop, Vincent Wolf went straight downstairs to the training hall.
Vincent Wolf didn't stop Sebastian from following because he disliked him, but because Sebastian's outfit was too eye-catching.
Among the boys and girls dressed in school uniforms, Sebastian was the only one wearing such an extravagant dress, which can't even be described as standing out in a crowd.
It's not because Vincent's pet beast Barry can't beat the Thorny Flower Demon.
Yes, it's not.
Although the actual combat classes and training class teachers were both Zoey Green, teaching locations were different.
Actual combat classes took place on the playground, while training classes were conducted in the training hall.
Logically, actual combat classes should also have an actual combat stadium.
An actual combat stadium can change the combat environment, allowing all types of pet beasts to adapt to different environments and maintain a stable combat capacity.
However, the school decided that an actual combat stadium wasn't necessary for Apprentice Beast Masters during their practical training, so they didn't build one.
It's not because constructing one would be too expensive.
As for the training hall, it was equipped with various types of training equipment to improve pet beasts' strength, endurance, speed, and willpower.
It also had advanced training facilities like weight-assisted rooms, shooting tracks, etc.
When Vincent Wolf arrived at the training hall, teacher Zoey Green was already waiting there.
Vincent Wolf hadn't contracted a pet beast during his previous training classes. Strictly speaking, this class would be his first formal training class.
In the training hall, training areas were divided by class.
Inside the Class One area, there were over forty standard pet beast training auxiliary tables.
Vincent Wolf released Barry and led him to the last standard pet beast training auxiliary table.
This training table looked like a metal platform the height of a step, with a display screen extending outward.
However, Vincent knew that this table contained the world within.
He opened the display screen in front of him and set options one by one.
The auxiliary table can provide pet beast training according to option settings.
Vincent Wolf simply added Barry's species, height, weight, growth level, Species Level, natural skills, and abilities to the settings.
The auxiliary table lit up slightly, and the display screen showed a few glowing words:
Training target: strength, endurance, speed, willpower, skills.
Vincent Wolf had never seen a pig run, but he had eaten pork.
Although he didn't have a pet beast in his previous life, he had seen others use this auxiliary table for practice, so Vincent now had the memory of operating this machine.
After selecting options, the auxiliary table would train the pet beast with corresponding equipment.
For example, choosing strength for pet beasts with hands would provide dumbbells, barbells, and the like.
For Slimes, who don't have hands, weight-bearing equipment and other items would be provided.
Selecting endurance might turn the auxiliary table into a treadmill.
Choosing speed could also be a treadmill, a whip, or even a machine gun.
In short, auxiliary tables emphasize intelligence and customization according to pet beasts.
This was just a standard version; if it were a supreme luxury VIP version, it would be a genuine mechanical life form.
When all the students were ready and looking at Zoey Green, she began today's lesson.
"Today, we're going to start training on skills."
"In previous training sessions, I emphasized the basic attribute training, which is laying the foundation."
"A weak foundation leads to instability."
"Especially when pet beasts are in the Awakening period, reinforcement of the foundation is necessary."
"Some genius Beastmasters have extraordinary talent, capable of advancing from Apprentice Beast Masters and reaching the level of Professional Beast Tamers within just one or two months, allowing their pet beasts to go from Awakening to Transcendent levels."
"But they often take one to three years keeping their pet beasts at Awakening Level 10, continuously honing them until they can't progress any further, and finally advancing to Transcendent Level."
"Why is this?"
"Because the transition from the Awakening period to the Transcendent period is an excellent opportunity for a pet beast to enhance its potential."
"Pet beasts with a solid foundation can more easily seek opportunities to break through when facing bottlenecks in the future."

Chapter 29
""With such a pet beast, there is a chance to break the bloodline shackles of the Species Level."
"It is said that in ancient times, Emperor Liam allowed his pet beast to stay in the Awakening period for forty years, during which time he was ridiculed by the world."
"And then, Emperor Liam's pet beast advanced to the Extraordinary level with more than a hundred skills, and more than twenty of them reached the Perfect or even higher levels."
"Overnight, the low-level Monarch species Dark Scaled Python's blood returned to its ancestry, directly evolving into the high-level Overlord Mysterious Patterned True Dragon, and ultimately becoming a Mythical Beast Tamer."
Zoey Green talked a lot before finally making a conclusion.
"I'm not saying you should stay in the Awakening period forever, just reminding you, sharpening your knife does not delay the work of chopping wood."
Seeing the students listening carefully and not showing impatience, Zoey Green was in a good mood.
"Next, I will teach two Low Grade skills, one is [Claw Strike, and the other is [Rapid Movement]."
"These two skills, one is an attack skill, and the other is a displacement skill, both of which are very important in battle."
"Attack skills can increase your attack power several times, achieving the effect of one decisive blow."
"Displacement skills, on the other hand, can give you an innate advantage and an undefeated position. In the morning, Vincent's Slime can be said to have defeated the opponent's pet beast using [Rapid Movement] throughout the whole process."
"Students who have already learned can use the auxiliary platform to improve their proficiency. Students with similar skills can practice on their own and do not need to learn new ones; it is better not to bite off more than you can chew."
"Remember, do not underestimate Low Grade skills. If the proficiency of Low Grade skills is high enough, they will not be weaker than less proficient skills of Intermediate and High Levels."
"And if the Low Grade skill proficiency is high, it also adds a bonus to the comprehension of higher-level skills."
Vincent looked at Barry.
"One is [Claw Strike, and the other is [Rapid Movement]."
"[Rapid Movement] has already reached the Perfect level of proficiency, so even if it can't increase in the simulation, let alone in reality where the Slime is clumsy."
"As for [Claw Strike]…"
Barry's round body swayed left and right, making it clear that it was trying to perform a Claw Attack, but if you didn't know, you would have thought it was having a fit.
Barry: !!!(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
Barry: Where are my claws?!
"Okay, you're a big round ball, where do your claws come from to perform [Claw Strike]?"
Barry: Oh, I didn't know I didn't have claws.
Professor Zoey Green had already summoned the Exploding Great Ape and asked it to teach the class's pet beasts skills, while she stood aside with her phone, totally engrossed in something.
"Teacher." Vincent walked over to Zoey Green and spoke to her.
Zoey Green shuddered and quickly locked the screen of her phone, looking panicked.
"Speak." She turned around, looked at Vincent, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
"I wanted to ask you if I can't learn [Claw Strike] and [Rapid Movement, can I learn some other skill?" Vincent grinned.
"That's not what I asked you to say."
"Then, what was it?"
"How you are going to die!"
Yikes!!!
Alarmed, Vincent immediately swore: "I didn't see anything just now! If I lie, let Barry be struck by lightning!"
Barry: ???
Barry: I'm used to it, let's call it a day. I'm tired.
Zoey Green saw that he didn't seem to be lying and her expression calmed down.
"Speak, you don't want to learn this or that, what do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn longevity!" Vincent joked.
"What?" Zoey Green thought she had misheard.
"I misspoke, I meant to say I want to learn a defensive skill. My Barry has very low defense, and without a defensive skill, he might not be able to withstand a single blow from other pet beasts."
Zoey Green thought for a moment and said, "Your Slime is part of the Water System, and the defensive skills my Exploding Great Ape teaches are part of the Fire System, so I can't teach you."
"Then, let it be." Vincent was very disappointed.
In that case, to learn defensive skills, he would have to spend a lot of money at specialized skill training institutions or martial arts halls, or buy courses online.
But learning online is too inefficient, and going to skill training institutions or martial arts halls costs a lot of money and requires extra time.
"I said my Exploding Great Ape can't teach, but that doesn't mean my other pet beasts can't."
Upon hearing this, Vincent became excited.
Right.
A Master-level Beast Master can contract with three pet beasts, so she still has two pet beasts.
"My first pet beast is also a Water Attribute, and it has a Low Grade skill [Water Flow Armor]."
"[Water Flow Armor] can condense water energy around the body into a shield, providing excellent protection and even unloading forces."
After finishing Speaking, Professor Zoey Green released her pet beast.
A flash of white light, a giant lobster over a meter tall appeared in the summoning formation, its entire body covered in sturdy shells, and a pair of strong and powerful claws that looked very intimidating.
"This is…a Fighting Shrimp!"
When Vincent was surprised, the Fighting Shrimp was quite a powerful high-level Extraordinary Species, even able to fight against some weaker low-level Commander Species.
What surprised him even more was that the Fighting Shrimp's evolutionary form was the Low-level Commander Giant Claw Shrimp, which was responsible for ending his run in the Simulation yesterday.
"Teacher, why are all the pet beasts you contract fighters? Is the last one like this too?"
Fighting Shrimp has a very irritable temper and would sometimes attack you if you just glance at it. Its personality is even more aggressive than the Exploding Great Ape.
"I haven't chosen a contract target yet! I only have these two right now." Zoey Green gave him a glance, "Because of my Beast-controlling Talent, both of these pet beasts are quite compatible with me."
"What kind of talent is it?"
"[Battle Intent Armor, can turn mine and my pet beast's battle intent into armor, giving the armor different levels of defense depending on the strength of the battle intent. According to the records, at the peak of battle intent, the armor can even condense wings, giving it the ability to fly!"
"Wow, that's so amazing, it can even fly!" Vincent expressed his admiration.
Seeing this, Professor Zoey Green was even more pleased.
"But teacher, why hasn't your Fighting Shrimp evolved? Don't you want it to evolve?"
Zoey Green glared at him, her good mood instantly dissipating and her body sagging.
"If you can't speak, don't!"
"Who doesn't want their pet beast to evolve?!"
"It's just that I can't help it!"
"Who's at fault that Fighting Shrimp's evolutionary resources are so hard to get!"
"I have the money ready, I checked with the Auction House, the Beast Tamer Association, and even the black market. I even added money several times! But I just couldn't find it!"
"It's that hard to find? So, what is the resource?" Vincent asked curiously.
"It's a Level 2 resource, a low-ranking Commander level, but it's Water Tendon, quite rare." Zoey Green said casually.
Vincent looked at his wrist, and the corner of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
"How coincidental? I have it right here?"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 30
Water Tendon is a pet beast of a High Level Command Race, but as just a tendon, it's not a Level 4 High-Level Commander resource but rather a Level 2 Low-ranking Commander resource, two levels lower.
However, with the high species level of the Water Tendon, this Water Tendon is still quite rare.
The Fighting Shrimp can still evolve without the Water Tendon, but the other options are either of higher level or have too strong energy, which pose a great danger to the Fighting Shrimp.
All in all, the Water Tendon is still the best choice for the Fighting Shrimp to evolve into the Giant Claw Shrimp.
But Vincent Wolfe never expected that he would have a Water Tendon. Although he had about twenty to thirty Low-ranking Commander resources in his Space Bracelet,
alert to the vast variety of resources in the world, having Zoey Green's required resources was just a coincidence.
Wolf planned to trade the Water Tendon with Zoey Green.
Firstly, Zoey Green is Vincent's teacher. She taught him the Water Flow Armor, and their relationship should not be affected by the school's obligations.
Secondly, the Giant Claw Shrimp in the simulation slaughtered Vincent, and he couldn't swallow his anger.
But the Giant Claw Shrimp in the simulation is truly a Low-ranking Commander-level strength, too powerful for him to take revenge anytime soon.
However, as long as Zoey Green's Fighting Shrimp evolves into a Giant Claw Shrimp, and Vincent figures out the Giant Claw Shrimp's innate skills and weaknesses, while gaining more experience in fighting it,
he will have a chance to find the Giant Claw Shrimp's weak points in the next simulation.
He doesn't have to defeat it; he just has to survive first.
Focusing solely on the Giant Claw Shrimp, he will find the right moment to kill it and then devour it.
Once the simulation reaches the point where he can devour it, Barry will have the chance to raise its species level to that of a Low-ranking Commander.
Even if the probability of Barry's innate devouring ability increasing its species level is extremely low, Wolf doesn't believe that it wouldn't progress even after devouring for several months.
The last and most trivial reason is that Green not only paid in full but also added a few more times to the price!
For Low-ranking Commander Level resources, the cheap ones are around a hundred thousand Cathay Currency, while the rare ones can reach two to three hundred thousand.
If the price has been increased several times, then it must be at least four hundred thousand or more!
"Hehe, I'm going to make a fortune!"
Wolf announced that it's now time to fantasize!
However, he couldn't just take it out and give it to her, saying he happened to have it.
Just thinking about the various questions he might face afterward and the rumors that could spread in the school if this were to be known,
Wolf felt it would be troublesome.
Since Green posted a bounty in the Beast Tamer Association, he could just complete the task there.
He can choose to submit the task anonymously when submitting it, so he doesn't have to worry about revealing his identity.
And he could also take this opportunity to apply for an Apprentice Beast Master license at the Beast Tamer Association.
Additionally, after school in the afternoon, Vincent also wanted to visit the Beast Master Pharmacy.
He remembered that there were potions and such in the Beast Master Pharmacy that could restore physical strength.
Because whether it's in the Hidden Realm or in the wild, Beast Masters' physical fitness is not as strong as that of pet beasts.
If the pet beast cannot be ridden, then Beast Masters cannot efficiently explore the Hidden Realm.
As they must maintain sufficient physical strength, or they will not be able to handle unexpected situations and their lives will be in danger.
Therefore, the pharmacists have solved this problem long ago, not only for physical strength but also for mental strength and energy-targeted recovery and increase.
Now that he has some money, and if he successfully trades the Water Tendon with Green, he would have some savings.
He is talking about cash.
Now that the simulation requires a lot of physical strength, which he cannot handle, it's a big limit for him.
Like the battle with the Frost Giant Wolf, if it had Frost Armor, Barry might not be able to win.
But if Vincent had simulated once at the time, no matter how many more skills the opponent had, he felt confident in winning.
Not to mention that after becoming a formal Beast Master, the introduction to the Ancient Simulation said that it would require him to consume a lot of physical strength to simulate.
If he doesn't have any restorative potions, Vincent feels that he probably wouldn't be able to use it.
Under Green's command, the aggressive shrimp walked onto Vincent's training auxiliary platform, and its pair of black shiny eyes examined Barry.
The twenty-centimeter tall Barry stared into the eyes of the one-meter-tall Fighting Shrimp.
The Fighting Shrimp waved its large claws and called out to Green "hehe," looking quite excited.
"Your slime seems to make the Fighting Shrimp very happy," Zoey Green said, somewhat surprised. "It's usually not interested in other pet beasts but only interested in fighting. What's going on today?"
Wolf knew the reason because Barry also had memories from the simulation.
Just in yesterday's simulation, a Giant Claw Shrimp that looked similar to the Fighting Shrimp killed it.
Barry must have been inspired by its fighting intent towards the Fighting Shrimp because of this, and this behavior seemed to be quite in line with the Fighting Shrimp's temperament.
However, Vincent felt a bit puzzled.
"Teacher Green, can shrimp call out?"
Green, with a darkened face, still said seriously: "Ordinary shrimp that we eat don't call out, but pet beasts are not ordinary shrimp! They are beyond the ordinary, so what's wrong with them calling?"
"Barry, learn the Water Flow Armor taught by the Fighting Shrimp well. Next time in the simulation, use this to defeat the real Giant Claw Shrimp that defeated you!" Vincent conveyed these words to Barry through the Beast Control Contract.
At the same time, Barry expressed its determination and fighting spirit through the Beast Control Contract.
Then, it got beaten up.
Listening to the Fighting Shrimp's nonstop "hehe" calls, Wolf tried to decipher its meaning with his half-cooked pet beast language.
The general idea was:
How can you be so stupid!
Can't you even learn this?
Start spinning the water energy around your body, quickly!
Barry, who was constantly being hit on the head by the Fighting Shrimp's claws, felt miserable.
Barry: Beast Master, I didn't know learning a skill would be this difficult! I really don't understand! You should learn it! Please, I beg you! Wuuu –
Feeling Barry's conveyed words, Vincent honestly wanted to join the Fighting Shrimp in beating it up.
"I'm not only supposed to practice the skill but also learn it, and I also have to raise my growth and species level myself. Damn it, do you want to be the Beast Master?"
What is a Beast Master?
When there's work, pet beasts do it; when there's no work…
They must find work for pet beasts to do!
As a Beast Master, the greatest joy is lying aside and watching pet beasts train hard!
Wolf happily watched Barry getting abused, no, he watched the Fighting Shrimp's instruction on Barry.
However, as Wolf watched, he couldn't help but project himself onto the slime, feeling the changes in the water energy on the Fighting Shrimp's body, and he faintly had an epiphany.
He felt that he might be able to successfully use the Water Flow Armor skill in the next simulation.
Except…
Why does he feel even more like a pet beast than Barry?

Chapter 31
The thought of this made him reluctant to look at Barry again.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist throwing Barry aside and learning Water Flow Armor from the Fighting Shrimp himself.
If he, a Beast Master, learned the skill before his pet beast, it would really be a joke.
Not wanting to look at Barry anymore, Vincent turned his attention to his classmates.
Now, teacher Zoey Green was explaining the two skills, Claw Attack and Fast Movement, to the students with the Exploding Great Ape.
Vincent approached to listen as well.
As he listened, Vincent felt that it was just mediocre, sharing some tips and insights from the entry-level to Proficient Stage.
This information was valuable to these novices who were at the entry-level of these skills, but he just found it boring.
Returning to his own support platform and finding a place to sit down, Vincent saw that Zoey Green was surrounded by students, so he sneakily opened his phone and started playing games.
This time, he specifically downloaded several games.
Because it was Beastmaster World, even the themes of the games were closely related to the pet beasts.
In a certain 5v5 game, the character roles had changed from humans to powerful Dominator Species pet beasts.
In a turn-based game, the protagonist became a Beast Master, collecting various powerful pet beasts to defend the Safe Secret Realm.
A certain Magic Circle also told the story of a Beast Master fighting various chaos beasts in the Devil's Domain.
Just as he was playing with enthusiasm, and Barry was enthusiastically receiving punishment, Vincent felt his phone being covered by a shadow. He hurriedly looked up and saw two huge fierce beasts in front of him, and above them, Zoey Green's serious expression.
Vincent quickly turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket.
"Teacher, you've arrived! I was just researching the battle tactics and skill power between the Destruction Black Dragon and the Ghostly Viper under the same growth level and equipment configuration," he said, pretending to be serious.
"I would have believed you if I hadn't seen the screen on your phone," Zoey Green walked to the front.
"Come on up!"
"What? What am I coming up for?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Having been caught red-handed, Vincent could only comply.
He walked over to Zoey Green, who said to the crowd, "As I just mentioned, Vincent's Slime has already reached a very high level of proficiency in the [Rapid Movement] skill, so much so that I don't even think it's at the master level."
Zoey Green looked at Vincent, indicating it was his turn to speak.
With no choice, Vincent said, "That's right, my Slime has practiced [Rapid Movement] to the Perfect Level of proficiency."
"Perfect Level!"
"It took just one day? Two days?"
"Is the top student of Grade 1 and Grade 2 also the top Beast Tamer?"
"Could it be that the Slime species has unexpected bonus attributes?"
"What a load of crap!"
"In my opinion, Vincent must have a Beast-controlling Talent that can improve the pet beast's comprehension ability."
"That's right!"
"It must be like that."
"Absolutely!"
The classmates gradually came up with their own explanations.
As for Vincent's [Dimension Summon, only Dragon Town knew about its origin, and the others hadn't revealed it.
Therefore, it was normal for everyone to guess about Vincent's Beast-controlling Talent.
Because most pet beasts cannot achieve the Perfect Level of proficiency in a skill in their lifetime, even reaching the Low Grade was extremely difficult.
If that wasn't the case, the situation with the Slime would be too abnormal.
"So, I have such a talent! Why didn't I think of that!" After sighing in his heart, Vincent put on a helpless expression and said, "I originally thought no one would find out, and I wanted to live a normal life with you guys."
"Since you've figured it out, I won't pretend anymore!"
"I admit it!"
"That's right! My Beast-controlling Talent is [Unrivaled Comprehension]!"
"It allows me to bestow my comprehension ability to my beast, enabling it to understand skills and greatly increase its skill proficiency!"
Hearing this, the person who first mentioned Vincent's Beast-controlling Talent immediately beamed with pride, looking as if he had seen through Vincent long ago.
Zoey Green said by the side, "I originally called you up to share your experience of quickly improving Slime's [Rapid Movement] skill with your classmates."
"However, it seems it's because of your Beast-controlling Talent, so there probably isn't much experience to share. It's a pity."
"Who said I don't have any experience?" Vincent had developed some camaraderie with the students in his class.
Moreover, they had helped stop the students from other classes that morning, which made Vincent feel more identified with them.
Anyway, since he had nothing else to do and Zoey Green was watching him, he couldn't play on his phone. He decided to talk about his experiences to pass the time.
"To comprehend [Rapid Movement, the fastest way is to put oneself in a life-and-death situation."
"In the absence of a life-threatening situation, it's also possible to try increasing the power and frequency of the machine guns on the support platform."
"After comprehension, training is required…"
Vincent began to talk nonstop about his experiences of practicing Fast Movement in the Mysterious Realm.
In the Mysterious Realm, when he practiced Fast Movement, his favorite method was to attract several pet beasts to chase him and then start dodging skills and practicing his positioning.
The proficiency increased quite quickly, but it was a bit hard on Barry. Vincent gave up on this method only after being caught by several ambushing beasts on one occasion.
There were many similar examples shared by Vincent, which completely captivated the students and even Zoey Green.
It wasn't until Vincent finished talking that the classmates began whispering among themselves.
"He's really amazing! His level seems even higher than the teacher's!"
"Is this the [Unrivaled Comprehension]? Was he able to become a top student because of this talent? But isn't it said that talents can only be manifested when space is created?"
"How come I feel that these experiences are not the training experiences of pet beasts, but Vincent's own personal experiences? Is it just my imagination?"
"You're stupid! It's obviously because Vincent is so good at teaching by using such a vivid and unique angle to make it easier for us to understand!"
"So that's it! You're so smart! No wonder you can see through Vincent's Beast-controlling Talent!"
"Of course, who do you think I am!"
"Alright, everyone quiet down. I've already mentioned several key points for the initial stage of training. You can go back and practice now."
Vincent walked back to his training support platform and saw that Barry was still being disciplined by the Fighting Shrimp. He couldn't help but feel helpless.
He pulled Barry over and shared his Water Flow Armor experience with him through the Beast Space.
As Barry listened, he couldn't help but continuously express admiration for his owner.
"You're really stupid. You can't even learn skills, let alone talk. In the Simulation, I can use mental telepathy to communicate, but you can only understand my thoughts through the Beast Control Contract."

Chapter 32
For elemental species, most of them do not have vocal organs and can only convey their thoughts through psychic connections.
During yesterday's simulation, Vincent Wolf had successfully made peace with the Water Spirit through such means and even got it to follow him as the boss.
Barry the Slime baby felt wronged. After all, he was only recently born, and to expect him to learn to speak was too much to ask for.
Through Vincent Wolf's education, Barry got some ideas about the Water Flow Armor skill and started a new round of learning.
After that, Wolfs had nothing more to do. The students enthusiastically practiced under his guidance, and Barry was no longer harassed by the pinches of the Fighting Shrimp.
Only Vincent Wolf was left in a daze. Zoey Green couldn't stand it and allowed him to check information on his mobile phone but forbade him to play games.
Like this, it was time to go home after the training class ended.
He returned to the classroom to pack up his textbooks and neatly organized them.
After school in the afternoon, most students would not go home but participate in club activities.
The activities of the clubs usually last one to three hours before they go home.
However, Vincent Wolf has always gone home. Although many clubs have sent him invitations, such as the Light Music Club, Exotic Pet Appreciation Club, Service Club, Diving Club, SOS Club, Classical Club, SOX Club, Neighbor Club, Literature Club, Animation Club, etc., he has declined them all.
Actually, Vincent Wolf was quite curious about these clubs, but he now had a task at hand. He would investigate the Exotic Pet Appreciation Club and others tomorrow.
He opened the school forum app and took a picture of his handmade "love letter box".
He posted the picture of the love letter box on the forum.
[Vincent Wolf: I just can't keep up.
Today, I received over a hundred love letters. Are you guys trying to make me start a "love rejection club"?
The club activity is rejecting love letters, right?
School's out at four. If I reject one person every five minutes, I'll be done just in time to sleep at midnight.
Nice, even leaving me time to sleep. You do have some conscience.
From today, I'll set up a love letter box. All love letters should be thrown in here. After school, I'll randomly pick one "lucky guy" to reject.
After selecting, the result will be posted in this thread. If there's no response within five minutes, it's void. ]
After sending it out, Vincent Wolf took out a letter, opened it, and read it. It looked similar to the love letters that boys wrote to girls in his previous life.
He then took out his phone and embarked on a search using parts of it.
"Hmm, 95% duplication rate, unqualified."
Next, he looked at the name and location at the end of the letter.
He then wrote a reply in the thread and pinned it to the top.
[Congratulations ——, you are the first lucky person to be chosen for rejection. Please reply to this post within five minutes. If you exceed the time limit, your chance will be void.]
After waiting for five minutes and receiving no response, Vincent Wolf un-pinned the comment, then sent a[You have exceeded the time limit]message.
Completing these tasks, Vincent Wolf quickly departed the classroom and headed towards the school gate.
…
"How is it that the 'Extinguishing Fortune Club' is still trying to block me?"
Vincent Wolf was perplexed. He'd already clarified the matter about Flora Gates, there should be no reason for these people to pester him anymore.
Before leaving the school gate, he noticed familiar faces from the Extinguishing Fortune Club. He directly used Fast Movement to escape while they weren't looking.
"Now that you guys have the upper hand, let's see how tough you are when we meet again!"
As soon as he exited the school gates, Vincent Wolf bought several new outfits from a clothing store, including jackets, hoodies, coats, and raincoats.
Without exception, all of them came with hoods!
"Long live the hoodie!"
Vincent Wolf decided to join the Hoodie Party for a hundred years.
He quickly changed into an outfit in a nearby restroom. The remaining clothes were stored in the Space Bracelet for future use.
Completely prepared and feeling secure, Vincent Wolf set off for the Beast Tamer Association.
The Beast Tamer Association was not far from the school. As Vincent Wolf was now flush with funds, he took a cab directly.
The taxi driver was a middle-aged chatterbox. However, when he saw that Vincent Wolf, apart from mentioning a destination, was otherwise silent, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
To mask his anxiety, the driver gave a forced laugh before attempting to initiate conversation.
But the driver soon found himself unable to carry on the conversation.
Looking through the rear view mirror, he noticed Vincent Wolf's face being completely covered by a hoodie and mask.
No matter how the driver tried to start a conversation, Vincent Wolf simply wouldn't engage.
The driver was not a Beast Tamer, but he'd heard that many weird characters existed among Beast Tamers. They were not to be offended, lest one courted trouble and disaster.
The driver was suddenly gripped with fear. He stopped talking and focused on driving, occasionally glancing fearfully at the rear view mirror, as if fearing that Vincent Wolf would suddenly go berserk.
After a while, the taxi finally reached its destination.
As Vincent Wolf stepped out of the cab, and was just about to take out his phone to pay, the taxi driver stepped on the gas, and the car raced away like an arrow.
Vincent Wolf was left standing alone, holding his phone in a daze.
"???"
"What happen while I was napping?"
"Are cabs free nowadays?"
Unsure of what had just happened, Vincent Wolf put his phone away.
In any case, it wasn't his fault for not wanting to pay. Since the driver didn't want the money, he let it slide. He couldn't possibly chase after the cab, insisting on paying.
Besides, saving a bit here and there was a good thing. A few tens of Cathay currency was still money.
Having made sense of the situation, Vincent Wolf looked up at the towering building in front of him.
This was the Los Angeles Beastmaster Association.
Wolf walked forward, followed the guidance step by step, and headed towards the Apprentice Beast Master registration area.
Because it was October now, there weren't many people coming to register for Apprentice Beast Masters.
The registrar handed a form to Vincent Wolf and asked him to fill it out.
Vincent Wolf looked at it and found that it required basic information about the Beast Master and his pet beast.
For the Beast Master, they needed to list things like age, gender, occupation, and bank account number.
For the pet beast, they had to write down the species name, species level, etc.
All of this was quite straightforward, and Vincent Wolf quickly filled it out.
"Please take out your ID, and remove your face-covering. We need to check your face." The receptionist said.
As he handed his ID, Vincent Wolf also took off his mask and hoodie.
"Holy shit!" The receptionist couldn't help blurting out.
"You're done checking, right bro?" Wolf put his face-covering back on.
"Oh… We've finished checking; hold on a moment please!"
The receptionist came back to his senses, hastily placed a card and ID in front of him onto a machine, and muttered to himself in his mind.
"Apparently there are people who look slightly better than me. This is truly an aberration! And this guy, with such looks is also hiding his face, could he be a fugitive? But, would a fugitive dare to register for a Beast Tamer license with his real ID?"
