Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 44 - Drifting Further From Having A Conscience

Chapter 44 - Drifting Further From Having A Conscience

"Let us invite Cannes Trainer a.s.sociation President Gao An, Xingyu Gymnasium's curator, and Carp Mountain Gymnasium to present the award to our victors."

The elderly chairman walked to Su Bai and Chen Rouxue and distributed the two trophies to both.

"Very good." He praised the pair.

"Thank you. When will the bonus be issued?" asked the boy.

"It'll be sent to your Pet Tamer account in three days." Gao An glanced at his apprentice, out of sorts.

After taking pictures, the group went down. However, the conference was not over yet, and they still had an advertis.e.m.e.nt.

As for the registration desks of the training cla.s.ses in the two nearby gyms, Su Bai did not even bother looking.

"You're both very impressive. I believe we'll meet again in the future," said the water-fire Gemini twins Wan Shui and Qian Shan when they walked over.

"Maybe."

He spread his hands.

Following which, in order not to be provoked again by others, the pair left the main venue numbly. They went down the mountain and rode away on the small electric scooter.

"Wow! We actually won the tournament. You're really amazing," said Chen Rouxue while racing the car.

"No, it's because our teamwork was perfect. Otherwise, we couldn't possibly have won." Su Bai reasoned while he sat behind, his hair blowing against the wind.

"Haha! Why don't we form a small team? You'll be the captain, and I'll be the vice captain. We can go hunt monsters together. We've provoked many people this time. It sounds awful, but I'm sure we'll be the targets of the five-school joint entrance exam in the second half of the year."

"What are you afraid of? We defeated them once; we'll definitely beat them again. Anyway, we really should get rewards for bringing such a big glory to our school. When we go back, we must demand something in return from the school."

"Wow, you're really bad and crazy about money, but I like it because I'm also poor. Hehe…" The two chatted all the way until they reached Carp Town. Chen Rouxue sent her friend back home and waved to him. "I'll go back and wash up. See you tonight."

"Okay, drive carefully."

Su Bai nodded at the girl. On his way home, Yang Zhou and several others hollered that they would celebrate the two's victory that evening, saying that they had already booked a restaurant.

When he finally reached home, he saw that it was empty. It was around 11 a.m., so his parents were probably busy with the manor, while his brother should still be in school.

"Howl, howl!"

As soon as they entered the room, Purple Jade picked up the trophy and pointed at itself. It also pointed at the phone in his pocket.

Its meaning was very obvious. Ah Bai must remember to buy me food and a phone. This time, I worked very hard to win the champions.h.i.+p!

"Don't worry; I'll buy you a phone. As for the food, I'll personally prepare a medicine that's most suitable for you. I always keep my promise."

Su Bai caressed the cub's head helplessly. "Still, you can't neglect your training because of this. You must have a fixed time for playing with your phone every day, too."

"Howl~ ()〈))"

The cub immediately became unhappy upon hearing that and fell down on the sofa. It pawed its owner's thigh then rolled around to express its reluctance. The owner of the phone should be able to use it freely.

"No, there's no room for discussion—at least, not before you evolve into a Sanctuary Wood Spirit."

His resolute att.i.tude did not regress at all.

"Howl~ (ノへ ̄,)"

The cub, unable to find a common ground with its owner, held the trophy and shrank into a corner of the sofa, looking depressed.

Ah Bai is so bad; he really made me upset. I like him so much, but this is the way he treats me. I'm too disappointed.

I don't like Ah Bai and won't ma.s.sage his legs anymore. Hmph!

The more the cub thought about it, the angrier it became. It believed Su Bai every time, only to be fooled by him.

The boy was quite helpless upon seeing his pet's reaction. He was doing it for his baby's good.

However, he had already antic.i.p.ated this situation. Standing up, he took out a bluish white tangerine from the refrigerator, then walked over, and caressed the cub.

The fragrance of the fruit attracted the spirit, and it slowly turned its head. At the sight of him, the cub immediately turned away.

"Howl~ (`へ ́*)ノ"

No, it did not want food from stinky Ah Bai.

"If you take training seriously every day and make good progress, you'll be rewarded by being allowed to play the phone for a time. You'll also be rewarded with lots of delicious food."

He poked his pet's ear and tempted it.

"Howl?"

Upon hearing that, the cub turned its head to look at him. Thinking that it had been tempted too quickly, it turned its head away again. This was to indicate that it was still mad and had not forgiven bad Ah Bai yet.

"Really. Of course, it's true. It's more real than this bluish white orange."

He placed the tangerine under the cub's paw as he spoke.

Look, this orange is real. My words are as real as this.

"Howl, howl!"

"I won't go back on my words; I promise!"

Su Bai picked up the cub and kissed it.

The cub avoided him in disgust, still quite angry.

"Howl~ ( ̄~ ̄;)"

Purple Jade took a piece of the tangerine and bit down on it, filling its maw with the juice. It had obviously accepted his proposal.

"Haha! Buddy, play with the phone first; I'll take a bath."

Su Bai smiled and placed the phone under its paw.

Turning around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Wow, he was still more skillful.

If he had proposed to reward his pet if it was serious with training, the cub would definitely remain unhappy and feel that he was cheating it.

However, pretending not to be open for compromise and making the cub angry at first before pleasing it by saying that he would reward it with food and time to play with his phone if the cub trained seriously, Purple Jade would certainly a.s.sume that he had given up his persistence for the sake of it. As a result, it would forgive him and then follow his requirements.

Wow, cultivating pets was such a difficult job. It took more brains than talking to a girlfriend.

Su Bai sighed. With the reward of 500,000 yuan and his salary in the Blue Moon Cultivation House, it should not be a problem for him to train the cub into a high-level servant and to evolve it into a Wood Spirit.

Still, it was not good to just cultivate a single pet, so Su Bai was wondering if he should contract another.

Although his contract book now was just a one-star bronze, and he did not have a second one yet, it was about to be promoted to two-star bronze.

Thus, he could consider the choice of a second pet.

First, he must give up the idea of looking for pet monsters or spirit contracts in the wild. In his current state, he could not find a good pet on a monster battlefield.

Those ordinary wild spirits and monsters had too little potential, and he was not very hopeful.

One choice was to head to the breeding house. The monsters or spirits there were specially cultivated for Pet Tamers' contracts. They had ones with good appearance, possessing high potential, and of various types.

The pets in some large breeding houses, , especially the old ones with exclusive rearing methods, were worth choosing.

However, the feeding houses were often expensive, and some had thresholds, so most people could not really choose good pets from them.

Su Bai could ask his master, Gao An, for advice. He might have a chance, though it would probably need a lot of money.

Another choice was to select a pet egg that had not yet hatched. He could rely on his ability to use light attribute b.a.l.l.s to raise its potential to a G.o.dly pet.

The cost was low, and he could be in complete control of its cultivation, making it more in line with his requirements.

However, it was not without drawbacks. First, the choice of the pet egg would be a big problem. Second, it would be very troublesome to cultivate a G.o.dly pet for the second time in a row without being noticed by others.

Furthermore, monsters or spirits with special talents were very rare; it would be very difficult for them to obtain special talents just by him fusing light attribute b.a.l.l.s with them.
