Beastmaster: I am a true genius

"Director, 2368's energy response ranked third in the first phase of testing, three points behind 1926."

"2368 has just been born, and 1926 is almost ready to sprout. There is no comparison."

"2368 absorbs energy liquid five times faster than other seeds. It definitely has more than two skills."

……

This is a laboratory.

Here, the sun shines forever, as if there is no night. And Kitsune Shichi has turned into a tiny seed, lying in a petri dish, listening to the voices beside him.

And those people - probably the staff - kept praising "2368", guessing what skills "2368" would have, how high a price it would be sold for, and how much bonus they would get.

At the same time, they also complained about the poor development of certain seeds and how many seeds were piled up and could not be sold.

"2368 is definitely the best of this batch."

"No, it's too early to say that now. Let's wait and see how many skills it has after it sprouts. Don't be like the Y963 in the next group. I carefully cultivated it for three months, but it only has one skill. I still remember Lao Wang's expression back then."

"Hahaha, he was counting on Y963 to hit the quarterly bonus, but in the end Y963 only sold for over 300 million, not even recovering the cost of training it!"

"..."

Kitsuneya Nana listened quietly. In fact, there was another consciousness next to her, probably the newly born Karachi, but he was drowsy and did not wake up.

From a human perspective, it is indeed a bit strange to look at the memories of pets. However, from another perspective, the commercialization of pets is necessary. It is impossible for everyone to go to the secret realm to pick up pets. The risk factor is too high...

The sunlight was scattered evenly, and a dropper was hung above the glass petri dish. Every few seconds, abundant and gentle water energy would drip down, falling squarely on Kitsune Shichi.

Kitsune Shichi also looked outside and saw many other seeds, but the droppers on their heads were smaller, and only one drop of energy liquid would drip every few tens of seconds.

At this time, an unclear staff member came over and changed the bottles with a clang, while muttering:

"Ah, another bottle of energy liquid is gone. Everything is expensive recently. The price of energy liquid with attributes has skyrocketed. This bottle costs 12,000. You must awaken more skills for 2368, otherwise all this money will be wasted..."

Someone nearby echoed:

"It has to sell for at least eight million to make back the money."

"No, no, no, eight million is not enough. It should be at least ten million. As long as it has more than three skills and it is a healing skill, it should be able to sell for ten million."

"Or else we can stop supplying energy to 2367, 2366, and only supply this one. What a gamble!"

"Hahaha, get out of the way. If we lose the bet, are we all going to starve together?"

"Impossible, hahahaha, 2368 will definitely do very well, work hard 2368, do you hear me?"

"Did you hear me, little guys? Work harder! Learn from 2368 and learn a few more powerful skills. Only then can you contract with a wealthy master in the future..."

……

These words sounded very harsh to Kitsune Shichi.

Time in the illusion is free, and the days of living in the petri dish seem to be accelerated. Various conversations are still going on, and although Kitsune Yashichi can understand the feelings of the workers, these people say such things to the young seeds every day...

Not to mention the seeds, she felt upset just hearing about them.

"Then again, the environments we grew up in are two extremes."

Kitsuneya Nana poked the faint consciousness beside her. Karachi seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. She could feel his anxiety and panic, as if he had really gone back to the past along with his memories and regressed into a tiny seed.

"You are under too much pressure and expectation from the outside world. As for me... well, basically no one cares about me. The elders only ask me to 'stay out of trouble' and 'earn a living when I grow up'..."

Kitsuneya Nana also recalled.

She was really ignored. It was said that because she looked like her father, her mother was afraid that her stepfather would have ideas about a beautiful daughter who was not related to her by blood, so she never let her stay overnight at home. Other than that, she was not treated unfairly in terms of money.

‘Will you die? ’

That faint consciousness moved and spoke timidly.

Huh?! Kitsune was stunned. What do you mean by dying? Isn't this a memory? Could it be that Karachi... forgot the reality?

He actually chose mode number three? !

Kitsune Yachi was stunned!

There are three entry modes for [Recall]:

The first is pure spectatorship. The protagonist who is dragged into the fantasy world cannot interfere with the content of the fantasy world.

The second is to have control. You can make different choices in the illusion, which seems to make up for the regrets, but whether the final result is good or bad...it depends on the fate.

And the most vicious No. 3 mode, which gives you the right to operate but with amnesia. In No. mode, the protagonist who is dragged into the environment will temporarily forget the reality, relive the past, and make new choices.

"Karachi, are you okay?"

"...Me? I'm Karachi?"

"Yes, you are Karachi."

Young seeds are easy to fool and they believe what they hear.

'I am Karachi, who is 2368?'

"2368 is you too, but I think you can ignore them... Never mind, just think of 2368 as me."

Kitsune Shichi was speechless, Karachi... was indeed a cruel vine. However, it was quite cute in the seed stage, and even its tone was so soft and cute.

"Oh, so 2368 is you?"

"Yes, yes, it's me. That's me."

"They just scolded you in the next room, saying that if you can't awaken a good skill, they will sell you to a nursing home to be a caregiver, and you will never be able to reach a high level in your lifetime."

"That... sounds pretty scary."

Kitsuneya Nana thought about it from his own perspective, but his words were so perfunctory that Karachi could hear it.

ps. The small Xiangyu grows very fast and can mature in three months and start its first breeding, but its lifespan in the primary stage is only five years.

To put it in layman's terms, it means: precocious maturity and short life.

'No, you're not scared at all.'

Karachi was unhappy and felt he had been cheated.

"We are just plants anyway," Kitsuneya Nana said calmly, "We can survive with some sunlight and water. It's not a big deal to throw out two skills a day."

Karachi: '...it seems so.'

Kitsune Shichi smiled, seeds are so easy to deceive.

It was just an illusion anyway, so she didn't have to take any responsibility for what she said. It was fine to just lie down. If she tried so hard, she would be picked up by Zhou Yuye again and have to go through the contract again...

Ah, wait, could it be that Karachi doesn't want to go through the contract again and that's why he doesn't want to give up the memory?

Kitsune Shichi felt that he had revealed the truth!

However, as the bud break day approached, Karachi was still anxious about the group of people muttering:

'If we don't work hard, we won't have good masters! We will end up in the trash and die!'

"No," Kitsune Shichi was even calmer, "We are a healing department. Even if we only have one racial skill, we can still sell it for three million. A human who can afford three million must be a rich man. We will definitely be very happy."

Karachi: '...Really...?'

"Really, there's no benefit in lying to you."

Kitsune Shichi continued to smile, seeds are so easy to fool.

Just like that, a month passed in a flash. Under Kitsune's deception, Karachi hid his other skills and only displayed [Healing Light Wave] on the test day.

"How is that possible?! It absorbs six bottles of energy liquid every day. According to speculation, it can produce at least four skills! I have already reserved it for Boss Zhou!!!"
