Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

Chapter 2: Supernatural Powers

Why was Mo Xu suddenly certain that he had awakened his supernatural powers? Because the feeling was very special. He could clearly feel a kind of energy lingering around him, warm and bright.

“Is this the extraordinary factor?”

Mo Xu raised his hand, as if passing through layers of light spots.

But Mo Xu had only a vague idea of ​​what the supernatural arts were. According to what he had learned in school, the supernatural arts were the qualifications for taming beasts. According to the textbooks, the supernatural arts represented the degree to which humans could accommodate supernatural energy, but humans themselves could not make good use of supernatural factors, so this art was more like a "container".

If you have a container with "100 energy", you can drive a beast with "100 energy".

But why is it called "art"? Shouldn't "art" refer to something with a function? After thinking for a long time, Mo Xu could only think that it refers to the ability to control spirit beasts.

Mo Xu suppressed his confusion and felt very happy. He had just finished lamenting his bad luck when he successfully activated his extraordinary skills. This was like a pillow delivered to his doorstep.

Without taking time to savor the feeling, he immediately took out his cell phone, found a number marked "Brother Liu", and dialed it.

After two beeps, the phone was quickly answered, and a slightly drawn-out voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Mo Xu? What's going on?"

"Brother Liu," Mo Xu said succinctly, "I seem to have awakened my extraordinary powers. I want to consult you about something. Is it convenient for you now?"

Brother Liu was obviously a little happy when he heard this: "Sure, kid, come on, I'm at school right now, come find me at the zoo."

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Mo Xu picked up a shirt and put it on, combed his hair in front of the mirror, and the handsome young man in the mirror repeated his movements. He packed up briefly, took his phone and keys, and went out.

When he first went out, he prepared himself mentally, wondering how different the world of beast control would be. But he found that there were no dragons, trees, or beasts on the streets as he had imagined. The scenes in the city were more or less the same, quite modern, except that there were no people he knew around him.

A sense of familiarity and strangeness arise at the same time, creating a feeling of separation.

Following the map navigation, he boarded the No. 11 bus. Mo Xu felt the slight bumps in his seat. He imagined himself winning the world championship under the attention of everyone. Then he worried that his extraordinary skills were just a short-lived illusion. He also wondered if he would return to his original world after a good sleep.

"Worrying makes me confused." He suppressed his chaotic thoughts and began to meditate again, slowly regaining his composure.

Soon, the voice of "Jiangming No. 1 Middle School Station has arrived" was heard on the radio. Mo Xu opened his eyes and got off the bus slowly.

It is still the end of summer vacation, and there is only the security guard at the school gate. After showing his student ID, Mo Xu successfully entered the high school.

The entrance of the school was very impressive, and after entering, there was a very wide school road. The scale of the entire school even exceeded some universities on Earth in the previous life. With a strange sense of familiarity, Mo Xu followed the route in his memory to the school's zoo.

In the entire southern military region, including Jiangming City, there are less than eight high schools that have animal farms. Because the cost of raising extraordinary beasts is very expensive, the association's finances cannot be squandered without limit, so they can only set up animal farms in some key high schools to provide materials for students to use in teaching.

Turning the corner is the gate of the zoo. Mo Xu stood on a slightly higher place and looked over. The entire zoo probably covers an area of ​​more than ten football fields.

He couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder a high school is so small..."

The zoo is a key area, so even during the holidays there are still many teachers and students here to ensure operation. At the registration desk at the entrance was a senior student who was a volunteer. She happened to know Mo Xu, so she smiled and greeted him.

"Mo Xu? Come and catch up on your homework, I didn't expect a top student to be lazy."

Since there are some holiday assignments such as research reports every holiday, many students start to pay off their debts near the end of the holiday.

"There's nothing I can do, senior sister." Mo Xu laughed and walked in without further explanation.

Jiangming City is adjacent to a big river. As the saying goes, if you live by the mountain, you can eat by the mountain. If you live by the water, you can eat by the water. Therefore, there are many water-based beast masters, and water-based pets have become the mainstream here. It is rumored that the president of the Jiangming City Beast Master Branch owns a main water-based pet.

This place is no exception. In the center of this zoo is a huge artificial lake, which occupies half of the zoo. It can be imagined that there must be a large number of extraordinary creatures living in it.

Before it reached the shore, a huge swordfish leaped out from the bottom of the water in the middle of the lake. The splashing water gathered into a wave, and the long and narrow sword of its upper jaw glowed with a dangerous metallic luster in the sun. What was even more strange was that a pair of bony wings grew on both sides of its body, as if it was about to soar into the sky.

This was a creature that Mo Xu had never seen on Earth. It had an indescribable beauty, and was unique, sharp, and extraordinary.

Mo Xu stopped and admired it.

"It would be nice if I knew what such a domineering fish is called."

As Mo Xu was thinking this, suddenly, the extraordinary factors lingering around him began to riot. Although he couldn't see it, he could clearly feel the flow of energy.

He suddenly had an idea, and with extraordinary energy, he looked at the fish that was about to sink into the water. In an instant, there seemed to be a slight "splash" sound, and a piece of information appeared in his mind.

"Heterobony fish"

Rank: Intermediate Heroic Spirit

Spiritual power:

Attributes: Water, Gold

Features: "Ossification" The body will undergo random ossification during growth.

"This is?!"

Mo Xu was shocked. Could this be the information about the big fish? This information was like the panel of a monster in a game, showing all the data at a glance.

While he was still thinking, he saw an uncle wearing flip-flops walking towards him with a girl.

This uncle is Brother Liu, Mo Xu's current animal control teacher, and also their class teacher, and also an animal control master. As for this girl, I don't know her. She has round gold-rimmed glasses on her beautiful oval face. If you only look at her upper body, she has a quiet and poetic atmosphere, but her lower body is hot denim shorts, which seem to be filled with youthful breath as if the contrasting colors are overflowing.

Mo Xu turned his eyes slightly and greeted him: "Hello, Brother Liu."

This teacher usually wears slippers and drinks milk tea at school. At the class meeting on the first day, he said, "If anything happens, I will protect you. If you cause trouble, I will beat you up. Now let's adjourn the meeting." His style is definitely different from other teachers.

Later, as we got to know each other better, I discovered that although Teacher Liu was not very typical, he was really nice to his students. We also started addressing him as the affectionate "Brother Liu."

Brother Liu nodded, holding a cigarette in his mouth: "Hey, Mo Xu, why are you here?"

"......" Mo Xu was speechless and then explained: "Brother Liu, didn't you just call me to come?"

"Oh, that's what happened. I remember now." Brother Liu took a long puff of his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. He clapped his hands and said, "That's perfect. This is Cha Ling, the daughter of our city president Cha. She needs help with an experiment and I'm worried about not being able to find anyone. And Cha is a top student at Kyoto University. Ask her if you have any questions. You're both young people, so you can get along well."

Brother Liu said cheerfully, as if he had solved two troublesome problems at once: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Don't call me if you have nothing else."

After a burst of machine gun words, Brother Liu left with only his back, waving goodbye, leaving Mo Xu and Cha Ling staring at each other in bewilderment.

The two watched Brother Liu walk away like a shopkeeper. After coming to their senses, Cha Ling stretched out her hand to break the awkwardness: "Hello, my name is Cha Ling."

Mo Xu also generously extended his hand back to shake it, the delicate touch dissipated at the touch: "Hello, senior sister, my name is Mo Xu, and I will be a senior in high school soon."

After a brief introduction, the two of them walked and talked, getting to know each other. Just like Brother Liu said, young people can quickly get along well with each other.

As Brother Liu said, Cha Ling's father is the president of the Jiangming City Beast Taming Association branch. She is a junior at Kyoto University. She went home this summer and borrowed her father's swordfish bone to collect data for her thesis in this zoo.

After Cha Ling brought Mo Xu into a basement, there was a huge glass screen that looked like an aquarium. The bony fish was swimming behind the glass, breaking through layers of turbulence at the bottom of the water.

There are also many devices installed at the bottom of the large pool, some of which look like sonars and some look like weapons, but they cannot be seen clearly through the glass.

Cha Ling winked playfully and clasped her hands together: "I'll ask Junior Brother Mo to help me later."

Mo Xu readily agreed: "No problem."

Cha Ling took Mo Xu and walked straight to a device and started to operate it. Some wave graphs appeared on the computer, which seemed to be spectrum lines. Then she said, "Junior Mo, help me remember the peak and trough values ​​of a spectrum line."

Mo Xu took a look and found it not complicated. He had been working as a scientific research worker since he was a graduate student, so these were easy for him to do.

"Senior, just remember this Y coordinate value, right? How many cycles should we remember?"

Cha Ling looked sideways. She didn't expect Mo Xu to ask such a sophisticated question. He had the quality to do experiments. She replied, "Yes, Y coordinate, just remember ten cycles."

The two began to work, and the heteroskeletal fish on the other side of the glass also cooperated and swam nearby. While Mo Xu was recording, he watched this powerful spirit beast with interest.

At the level of a heroic spirit, he is one of the best in the entire Jiangming City. Considering Cha Ling's identity, the identity of the owner of this fish is obvious.

Cha Ling's delicate hands were working, but she still had time to notice Mo Xu and said, "Isn't this bone swordfish beautiful? It's my father's fourth spiritual beast. I usually call it 'Big Bone'."

"It's really beautiful." The topic turned to the beast control, and Mo Xu finally had the opportunity to say, "Senior sister, to be honest, I just awakened today, and I still have no idea what to do."

"Congratulations!" Cha Ling glanced at Mo Xu. This junior was well-spoken and good-looking, and he was also a potential beastmaster, which made her like him even more. "So that's how it is. No wonder Teacher Liu asked you to ask me for advice."

Mo Xu had just awakened his extraordinary skills. With a senior in front of him, he naturally took the opportunity to ask for advice: "Senior, can you tell me how to become a beastmaster? I feel completely clueless."

Cha Ling smiled sweetly, as if she saw her own immaturity in Mo Xu, and asked slowly, "There's still some time left, no rush. You should be assigned to a different major soon?"

"Yes, we will be separated after school starts."

Cha Ling nodded and introduced: "After the division, you will take the test. Passing the test means you have one foot in the door of becoming a beastmaster. Once the formal contract is signed, you will be a true beastmaster."

"A test? What's that?"

"Of course it's to test your extraordinary spiritual power. Haven't you learned this before?" Cha Ling paused, turned her head and asked in confusion, "How can we make a contract without testing your spiritual power?"

Only then did Mo Xu react, and memories began to come flooding back. After the diversion, all the prospective beast masters would indeed be tested to check their spiritual power, so that they could better choose targets when making contracts.

It can be said that the level of spiritual power directly determines the starting point of a prospective beastmaster.

Mo Xu scratched his head and said, "I forgot for a moment..."

Cha Ling did not pursue the matter in detail, and gave Mo Xu some popular science about the novice period of beast control, and finally invited him: "If you are interested in water system, you can come to Kyoto University to apply. My tutor is a master of water system in China."

"Water system?" Mo Xu looked at the bony fish in the pond and for a moment he didn't know where he would develop in the future. As a newcomer, he felt everything was new and confusing, just like when he applied for a major in the college entrance examination.

Cha Ling saw Mo Xu's confusion and said, "Don't worry, think about it slowly. If you have any plans in the future, you can ask me to introduce you."

"Thank you, Senior."

Soon, the two of them successfully recorded the experimental data of ten cycles. While Cha Ling was sorting out the data, Mo Xu asked, "Senior, do you remember that this data is also the spiritual power value?"

Cha Ling stared at the data on the paper without even looking up. "Yes, this time the topic is about the disturbance of the extraordinary spiritual power of the water environment by the heroic spirit-level beasts in their normal state. Why, are you interested too?"

Mo Xu thought of the panel data he had seen earlier and said, "Is this the spiritual power value of this big fish?"

Cha Ling paused while flipping through the papers, and suddenly turned around, looking at Mo Xu suspiciously: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Ah..." Mo Xu explained: "I just saw it jump out of the water outside, and then I don't know how I used my extraordinary energy to sense a piece of data."

A piece of paper slowly fell to the ground. It turned out that Cha Ling's grip loosened. She looked at Mo Xu in surprise: "You mean... you used the supernatural technique to sense Da Gu's supernatural spiritual power?"
