Ranch Story: Start Over

History of Star Bird:

They were originally a unique product of the magic world, with the ability to travel through space and traverse the heavens and the earth. Due to their powerful war advantages, the demons and humans pursued them relentlessly, and they eventually crossed space and entered the mechanical civilization continent to become dodos. However, due to the long-term and intermittent corrosion of the mechanical civilization continent, they finally lost their powerful power and stayed in the mechanical civilization continent, degenerating into ordinary birds.

Only the delicious taste made the travelers from the mechanical civilization continent crazy, and then they were hunted down again. Finally, the surviving dodos became extinct in 1681, and the remaining star birds had to hide in the space cracks, barely surviving.

Feng Ling was surprised to see this historical detail. He didn't expect that it was his fellow villager. However, the corrosive power of this original world is really strong. Such a powerful spiritual beast can't withstand the pollution and eventually becomes a delicious meal on the chopping board. It's really fate.

Let's look at its properties.

Star Bird: Star Arc

Age: 291 years old

Strength: 2 (-3)

Intelligence: 3 (-2)

Agility: 8

Luck: 0

Evaluation: No magic props or equipment, the body has old illnesses, and the only ability is to escape quickly.

With such attributes, it looks like a courier bird suitable for running errands. However, Feng Ling did not expect that this star bird named Xinghu would have intelligence and strength attributes as high as 5 when it was healthy. No wonder they are so cool when they can fight and escape.

Feng Ling approached the Star Bird and touched its feathers, with a somewhat regretful expression on his face. However, when he thought that the system mall would probably release healing medicine in the future, he felt much better.

Old Lu looked at the Star Bird with some worry. His own bird was a very timid one. If he hadn't called out to it, it would definitely not be willing to be watched in front of so many people. And at this moment, his boss rashly touched it. He wondered if the Star Bird would be scared and run away.

As he thought, as soon as Feng Ling touched the feathers of the Star Bird, the bird began to get agitated, but then it calmed down. The system actually took action. The Star Bird, which had wanted to run away, was directly restrained by the system and could not move at all.

Feng Ling received a prompt from the system in his mind:

Do you want to hire this Star Bird as your employee?

That must be it, Feng Ling decisively chose yes.

Please make an offer that is hard for the other party to refuse.

It seems that the work is not in vain. Feng Ling thought about it and then put forward three conditions that surprised the Star Bird.

Article 1: Provide three meals a day to the star bird.

Article 2: Heal the old injuries of the Star Bird.

Article 3: Find the tribe of star birds.

The three seemingly simple contract goals gradually brought light to the eyes of the Star Bird, which had been a loner for a long time. As God's mount, it had not heard the oracle for many years. Now, the clear oracle contract was clearly conveyed to its ears from the mouth of the young man in front of it. It was not an easy task to support itself.

Treating injuries and finding lost tribesmen were as difficult as traveling through time and space. The Star Bird trembled and knelt down.

Everyone was so surprised that they were speechless. The Star Bird actually knelt down in front of Feng Ling. This was like a big guy who traveled to the world of mechanical civilization and returned to the original world unscathed. It was an absolutely impossible example.

Feng Ling didn't know all this. He found that he could actually talk directly to the Star Bird, and the other party's words could be clearly transmitted into his mind.

"Thank you, my boss."

"The employment contract takes effect!"

The content of the contract turned into a spot of light and shot into the brows of a bird and a man. Feng Ling looked at the star bird in front of him, and the other party's attributes suddenly changed.

Star Bird: Star Arc

Age: 291 years old

Strength: 4 (-1) Finally not a rookie anymore

Intelligence: 4 (-1) Brain is online

Agility: 8 (+2) Who else can catch me!

Luck: 0 (+1) There is a very low probability of finding treasure. A Star Bird that cannot hunt for treasure is not a good bird.

Evaluation: Because of the lord's buff, the Star Bird is now buffed in your territory, and its flight speed is buffed outside the territory, with a chance of discovering treasures.

Old Lu couldn't believe it, and he touched his old friend's feathers with trembling. The light spot produced by the signing of the contract between Feng Ling and Star Bird flew to the center of their eyebrows. The signing ceremony was right in front of him. He was worried that Star Bird was forced to sign the master-servant contract by its boss.

There are many examples of forced master-servant contracts in the Magic Continent, in which the spiritual imprint of the original owner is forcibly erased. In this way, the original owner and the contracted pet will suffer severe backlash. He has avoided many troubles over the years by relying on the Star Bird's ability to escape. Of course, because of this, his place of earning money and working is rarely stable.

Feeling the strength of his body and his clear mind, the originally aging Old Lu gained additional lord gain buffs with the blessing of his partner contract. He is no longer the old man he used to be.

Seeing the excited Old Lu kneeling down in front of him with a "thump!", Feng Ling quickly helped him up, but the stubborn Old Lu and the Star Bird were both in the same situation. Seeing that he couldn't pull Old Lu up, Feng Ling scratched his head. He didn't expect that his lord buff could be shared in this way. Could it be that? Could it be the same for others?

Feng Ling, who had just thought this, soon received a reply from the system:

Each person can only receive the lord's buff once in his lifetime. Due to identity reasons, the closer the identity to the host, the stronger the buff effect.

The currently unlocked benefit effect is for employees. Looking at the lord panel, the loyalty of the Star Bird is 85 at the beginning, and it basically won't betray. If three contracts are completed, it will be 100 without any accident. Lao Lu's loyalty is lower than that of the Star Bird, but normal employees will not betray as long as it is above 70. 60 may betray, 50 will leave, and 40 will create negative effects on the host behind the scenes.

The sudden appearance of loyalty attribute allows Feng Ling to finally have the fifth attribute loyalty after friendship, intimacy, family affection, and reputation. As for hatred, it is not available yet. It seems that everyone has benefited from Feng Ling, and Feng Ling is now very popular.

"System, if all six attribute values ​​are unlocked, then I can get the reward."

Feng Ling rubbed his hands expectantly.

"Yes, Master. However, it is not recommended that the host actively create hatred. The host currently has excellent relationships with people, and many people are willing to serve the host. Cherish the relationship while you can."

The system's advice made Feng Ling sober up. It made sense that it was better to resolve a feud than to create one, and there must be a reason why he reminded himself not to do so.

"Okay, I listen to you!"

I came to my senses and looked at Star Bird and Lao Lu who were still kneeling. These two guys really make me worry. Didn’t I see that the expressions of everyone around me changed?
