Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Li Cunxu found Sima Tu's eagerness to contract with the Scrap Kid amusing.

It wasn't jealousy, but rather recklessness.

Yes, too reckless.

Contracting before even figuring out if the Scrap Kid's talent was 'Fishing the Heavens' or 'Useless Fishing' was truly ignorance is bliss.

If it were 'Fishing the Heavens,' then capturing a Scrap Kid with a golden legendary talent would be great.

But if it's 'Useless Fishing,' congratulations, you've successfully wasted a contract slot.

Pet beasts with the 'Useless Fishing' talent aren't suitable for contracts; they're only suitable for adoption.

Contracting a pet beast with the 'Useless Fishing' talent means the talent will consider the Beast Master and the pet beast as one, so the uselessness of the fished items will include the Beast Master.

In this case, the fished items are likely to be rotten vegetables and melons from the vegetable market's trash can.

Even the scrap station wouldn't take such useless items.

The correct way to use 'Useless Fishing' is to not contract the pet beast, just keep it; the pet beast will occasionally fish up high-value items, which are useless to it, but very useful to me.

High-value items can be exchanged for money, and rare items can greatly enhance one's own foundation.

For example, the Yellowfin Tuna is useless to the Scrap Kid because it can't be eaten or sold for money.

If the Scrap Kid dared to drag the Yellowfin Tuna out to sell, a knowledgeable mechanical pet would dare to snatch it along the way.

To others, the Yellowfin Tuna is a super delicious delicacy, an ingredient that can be sold at a high price, a super useful item.

So, is the Scrap Kid's talent 'Fishing the Heavens' or 'Useless Fishing'?

Li Cunxu guessed it was mostly 'Useless Fishing'.

Legendary talents are rare, while purple talents are as common as crucian carp crossing the river.

Li Cunxu looked at the Scrap Kid with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Sima Tu's behavior didn't seem like that of a broad-minded person; when he realizes the Scrap Kid has wasted one of his contract slots...

Even if the enraged him could bear not to kill the Scrap Kid, he would drive it away.

Just as Li Cunxu was shaking his head at the Scrap Kid's tragic ending, Sima Tu launched a despicable attack on Li Cunxu.

"In the wilderness, with no one around, whether you fight or not isn't up to you; it's up to me," Sima Tu roared, "Super Wild Biker, give me a full-speed ramming!"

The 1.9-meter-tall mechanical man transformed into a cool camouflage off-road motorcycle, the accelerator pedal to the metal, ramming at full speed.

Boom~

In an instant, the garbage mountain under Sima Tu's feet collapsed, collapsing too quickly; Sima Tu didn't have time to jump away and was buried by a pile of garbage.

With its years of experience rummaging through garbage, the Scrap Kid dug out Sima Tu's head covered by garbage in just ten seconds.

The dug-out Sima Tu had dull eyes, muttering incessantly.

"Impossible, impossible."

It's no wonder Sima Tu was being foolish; anyone who saw this scene would have their Dao heart shattered.

The opponent didn't even summon a pet beast, only using a shared water ball skill to knock his carefully nurtured pet beast away.

Am I still a genius?

Sima Tu doubted himself.

I am a genius; the champion of the Mech Capital's Strongest Newcomer Cup, doesn't that prove anything?

Then why did I lose?

Sima Tu made up a reason for himself.

The opponent looks very young but is actually an old monster who likes to play young.

It's normal for me to lose to him.

"Old monster, can you have some face? Bullying the young with the old, is that interesting?"

Li Cunxu pointed at himself.

"Me?"

"Old monster?"

Sima Tu confidently said, "Otherwise? If you weren't an old monster pretending to be young, how could I, who is invincible among my peers, lose to you?"

Li Cunxu smiled.

"Search on your phone for this year's Pupil Capital Newcomer Cup champion."

Sima Tu searched for a photo of the Pupil Capital Newcomer Cup champion's award ceremony, then compared Li Cunxu's photo with Li Cunxu's face.

Could it be that I was really defeated by someone of my age? Has my undefeated myth ended before it even set sail?

No, it hasn't ended.

Sima Tu sneered, "Trying to destroy my Dao heart? No way. Don't think you can deceive me just because you have a younger brother who looks the same as this year's Pupil Capital Newcomer Cup champion."

Li Cunxu was speechless; this self-deception skill was unmatched.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, so Li Cunxu was too lazy to explain.

Li Cunxu said, "Stop talking nonsense with me; let's first discuss the compensation for your active attack on me."

"Compensation? What compensation? We just had a simple battle, except I made my move a little earlier."

Sima Tu insisted it was a mutual battle, not his active attack.

As long as he insisted, without surveillance footage, the police wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

"I tried to reason with you, but you played with force; now I play with force, and you want to reason with me again? Do I look like such an easy-going person?"

A water ball grazed Sima Tu's cheek, leaving a burning bloodstain.

Sima Tu looked at Li Cunxu in shock.

"You actually dare to disobey the law."

Li Cunxu rolled his eyes, "You seem to be obeying the law."

Sima Tu said, "My grandfather is the Mech Emperor; in Mech Capital, I am the law."

Li Cunxu was a little tired of arguing with him; a water ball swirled at the fingertip of his right middle finger, aiming at Sima Tu.

"Please say it again; you are the law."

Sima Tu closed his mouth, not daring to speak.

He felt Li Cunxu's surging killing intent; if he repeated it again, the next moment, a water ball with great power would probably blast off his head.

The Scrap Kid had already contracted with Sima Tu; they were one, sharing honor and disgrace.

The Scrap Kid wanted to stand up for Sima Tu.

Sima Tu immediately stopped it.

Big brother, don't mess around; he will really kill me.

"Continuing the previous topic of compensation, what kind of things are you planning to offer as compensation?"

Li Cunxu said in a low voice, "A little reminder: if the compensation is too poor, people will die."

Sima Tu threw out an X-Mechanical Core with a dark face.

X-Mechanical Core, manufactured by the Mech Emperor, an excellent mechanical core component, can greatly enhance mechanical pets and save spiritual energy.

Li Cunxu took the X-Mechanical Core and immediately threw it into the black market to sell it.

The X-Mechanical Core was good, but unfortunately, it was manufactured by the Mech Emperor; the Mech Emperor had a secret backdoor to control the self-destruction of the X-Mechanical Core.

In the previous life, the Old President hunted down the Mech Emperor, and the Mech Emperor used this trick to detonate all the X-Mechanical Cores, causing a major upheaval in Mech Capital.

Before Li Cunxu left, he left a piece of paper with his phone number and address on it for the Scrap Kid.

The Scrap Kid looked at the paper a little confused, feeling that Li Cunxu was incredible, knowing that he had been contracted, but still not giving up.

A month later, as Li Cunxu had predicted, the Scrap Kid, having been found to have the 'Useless Fishing' talent, was violently driven out by Sima Tu.
