I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the pet shop is still open.

Lu Yuan stepped on the firecracker clothes all over the ground and entered the "Green World" pet store in Longzhou City.

The task of selecting herbs was given to Cheng Xueyan, and it would take time to select them slowly.

Buying a pet doesn’t have to be that troublesome. Just look at its appearance, smell its scent, spend ten to thirty minutes with the pet, and see its skills and moves.

If the pet does not respond to pressure and is willing to accept the new owner, you can pay the money and take the pet away.

In the overall purchasing process, there are two items: advance payment and final payment. The enthusiastic netizen Miss Puff paid all of them with a confident look.

Lu Yuan expressed his understanding that the pets sold in pet shops are mostly docile and friendly pets. They stay in the shop and have limited range of activities. Most of them want to find new owners as soon as possible and go out for experience.

So there is nothing wrong with Miss Puff paying the full amount in one go.

Even if the transaction is unsuccessful, the store will refund the balance.

It's just that this place is a bit far from the herbal medicine farm. If Cheng comes here, he will have to run back and forth between his relatives' homes, the herbal medicine farm, and the pet store.

Lu Yuan didn't want the other party to run around, so he rejected the other party's request to accompany him on WeChat.

However, the students thought of another way.

She can't come in person, but she can watch the video call.

So, after Lu Yuan entered the store, he turned on the video call and did a live broadcast for her.

Lu Yuan walked to the front desk and reported the last digit of his cell phone number and his name, and a clerk immediately came to take him in.

"Mr. Lu, please come this way. The mantis beast you reserved has just finished its bath and is being sharpened and polished by a professional beastmaster. You can expect to see it in about five minutes."

"Ah, sharpening and polishing?"

In the mobile phone, Cheng Xueyan was holding a big cat with a bucket waist, sitting on the sofa in her relative's house and watching the live broadcast on her mobile phone.

The clerk noticed that Lu Yuan's phone was on a video call. Seeing the young girl with a ponytail, he secretly thought about their relationship and introduced her with a smile on his face:

"The mantis beasts in our store are all carefully cultivated high-quality pets. Sharpening and polishing are standard daily maintenance packages. In addition, the food they eat is also carefully selected by masters. The tumbleweeds are picked from the Ten Kings Desert area..."

Cheng Xueyan was a little surprised when she heard this, and her little face was full of astonishment.

It’s been taken care of so carefully.

What should we do if we cannot raise children well after entering the countryside?

Suddenly, she thought of this and felt a little sorry for this two-star Tumbleweed Mantis Beast worth sixty-eight thousand.

Seeing the girl's face turn from sunny to cloudy on the phone, the clerk didn't know what he said wrong, and continued to flatter her:

"The mantis beast that Mr. Lu chose has an extremely pure bloodline. Tracing back to eighteen generations of ancestors, they are all purebred tumbleweed mantis beasts..."

The more he said this, the less confident Cheng Xueyan became.

Such a good pet can only live in the countryside.

Evolution is not something that is guaranteed to succeed.

What if it fails?

When Cheng Xueyan thought of this, she dared not imagine any further.

Perhaps she was too kind-hearted to imagine a future in which evolution failed.

Lu Yuan's mentality is relatively better and he can accept failure.

However, before the final meeting, Lu Yuan still mentioned it and asked, "Does this pet know my purpose? I am going to customize a three-star evolution for it."

"Mr. Lu, we have already informed it of your needs. It is also a mantis beast with a desire to improve itself. It is eager to break through the limits of its life. Otherwise, in its limited years, it can only live four or five more years." said the clerk.

The lifespans of modern insect pets vary, and most are short-lived.

For example, the lifespan of a mantis beast at one star is generally less than two years. If it fails to break through to two stars within two years, it will die of old age.

With the help of modern life-extending drugs, the two-star mantis can live up to ten years at most.

Without taking life-extending drugs, the average life expectancy is about five years.

Like the Tornado Martial Arts School in my dream, most of the students who pay tuition must graduate after five years.

If they don't graduate, the two-star Mantis beasts in their hands will soon die of old age.

Of course, the ancients would generally add life-extending drugs when the beast was at level one to two, extending the life of the two-star mantis beast, with an average lifespan of between six and eight years.

From eight years onwards, every extra year of life means a huge amount of funds.

By the time of the three-star mantis, the normal lifespan extends to twelve to twenty years.

If you want to extend your lifespan, you can stack it up to thirty years.

The higher the star rating of the pet, the better the effect of the life-extending medicine.

As I was thinking about it, the five minutes of waiting time passed in a flash.

A green mantis beast stepped into the waiting room with light steps.

Its mantis beast half-closed its eyes and cast a sharp gaze at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan and Cheng Xueyan on the phone also looked at the mantis beast.

The mantis beast stood on all fours, naturally practicing the "Four Pillars Standing on the Ground" mantis wooden stake technique. The two rows of emerald green spikes on its front limbs reflected white light under the light, and it looked as determined and aggressive as its eyes.

Lu Yuan saw from the other party the spirit of endless fighting and endless life.

"This mantis beast..." Lu Yuan showed a look of surprise.

Tumbleweed Mantis Beast is not a well-known combat pet. Most Tumbleweed Mantis Beasts in the hands of beast masters are introverted pets that like to use the wind rolling method to escape.

But this praying mantis was different.

When Lu Yuan saw it for the first time, he felt that the opponent’s second skill “Wind Roll” was used to attack forward.

This reminded Lu Yuan of the feathered beast that flashed forward in the National College Pet War. Its fragile body, aggressive movement, sharp feathers, and violent attack style overwhelmed its opponent.

Feathered beasts are fragile and usually hide behind earth-attribute defensive pets, shooting feather arrows to attack enemies from a distance.

For normal feathered beasts, their flash skill is used to save their lives.

But some pets are born with fighting spirits, and can use their skills to produce unexpected effects.

The Tumbleweed Mantis Beast in front of us gives people this feeling. It can use the Tumbleweed Style as an offensive skill.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but this mantis beast has a bit of an extreme personality. Unlike those gentle tumbleweed mantis beasts that cling to their masters for protection, this one... prefers to attack."

The shopping guide wiped his sweat, laughed dryly, walked up to the mantis beast, leaned over and whispered:

"Brother, please, I spent an hour sharpening your knife and massaging you yesterday, could you please restrain your expression a little bit..."

Lu Yuan heard the shopping guide's whisper.

Lu Yuan could actually understand that the young man was worried that Lu Yuan didn't want it anymore, so he asked for a refund of the balance.

Most people like to choose pets for their relatives. Ordinary people don’t need combat pets in their lives. They just want a cute pet that they can hug and pet.

"What's your name?" Lu Yuan asked, subconsciously activating the skill of Mastering Fine Words.

"squeak!"

Death whirlwind!

The Tumbleweed Mantis Beast brandished its knife and raised its head proudly.

What a cheesy name!

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Cheng Xueyan didn't understand, so she looked at the shopping guide.

The shopping guide said on behalf of Mantis Beast:

"It doesn't have a name yet. We all call it by its nickname 'Big Brother'. You can give it a formal name after you bring it back."

"squeak!"

It showed a dissatisfied look, swung the back of the knife, slapped the young man's face, and pushed it aside.

The salesperson was pushed by the huge force and fell backwards.

Now his face changed. It was over. He had told it more than ten times, but it still didn't change. He pushed the person away impatiently again.

Now that the customer sees this, he will probably ask for a refund of the balance.

However, he heard Lu Yuan's extremely satisfied voice:

"Okay, Death Whirlwind, let me see your wind roll."

Lu Yuan stood up and walked towards the side door of the waiting room. Outside the door was an open-air training ground.

This is exactly the momentum that the three-star Cyclone Mantis Beast wants. This two-star Mantis is surprisingly compatible with him in terms of personality, Lu Yuan thought.
