Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

After the professional division, these apprentice beastmasters will have a short vacation of about a month to choose the contracted monster beasts, and then they will be officially transferred to the beastmaster preparatory department for intensive training. After the training, they will be formal apprentice beastmasters, and after passing the assessment, they can go to the beastmaster university for more systematic training.

If you fail the assessment, you will naturally have to wait until the next session.

As for the contracted monsters, some people’s families will prepare them in advance, some choose to trade in the market, and some directly use the school’s resources.

For example, Li Shiyao, who was in the top ten of her class, was given a Silver Moon Wolf from the middle-level Heroic Spirit race. For someone without a background, the Heroic Spirit race was already a very high starting point. And Xu Jie, who was said to have 530 energy, was recommended by the principal to have a King cub.

Mo Xu went out with Li Shiyao after she signed the contract. Li Shiyao was still as quiet as ever, but Mo Xu could feel the care and comfort in his friend's eyes.

Mo Xu only reported good news and not bad news, saying that he had found a suitable target and would be able to take action soon. This made Li Shiyao put her worries to rest.

This time we also saw Li Shiyao’s new favorite, the “Silver Moon Wolf”.

The "Silver Moon Wolf" is named after the silver moon mark on the forehead of this wolf, which can absorb moonlight energy to evolve. Li Shiyao's wolf cub is still very small, about the same size as a puppy. When Li Shiyao held him in her arms, his head rested on her arms, his ears drooped, and he looked at Mo Xu curiously with his big watery eyes.

"Silver Moon Wolf"

Rank: Intermediate Extraordinary

Property: gold

Spiritual power: 277

Features: "Phase Change" The abilities of the Silver Moon Wolf change with the phases of the moon.

Mo Xu couldn't help but stroke the little wolf's head, causing the little cub to "howl" twice in a cute and fierce manner, which was simply adorable.

Apart from this gathering, Mo Xu's entire energy was focused on figuring out which monster he should contract.

Of the several monsters picked from the center that day, apart from the "Phantom Ghost", the other two actually had their own unique features.

"Parasitic Crab" is a bit like a hermit crab, except that it needs to find a container with spiritual energy to evolve. In theory, its growth limit is extremely high. As long as it finds a strong enough container and successfully parasitizes it, it can become strong enough.

Of course, this is only in theory. Not to mention where to find such a suitable container, the success rate of living there is so low that it is almost impossible.

The "Leaf Caterpillar" is currently the monster with the most evolutionary branches. Different regions, different cultivation, and even different times of transformation from pupae to butterflies will lead to different evolutionary results. This race will have new evolutionary branches every year. Although they are all very common evolutionary types, some people try to cultivate them as secondary monsters.

After all, as the old saying goes, if you try hard, a bug can turn into a dragon.

Three small boxes were placed in front of Mo Xu, and he felt as if he was choosing the initial Pokémon in Professor Oak's laboratory.

It’s just that Satoshi chose the Big Three, so he could only choose one that is not so weak among these three fragile little cuties.

Mo Xu suddenly felt helpless, as if a good cook could not cook without rice.

After sighing, he looked at the three small boxes. In his heart, he actually preferred the "phantom ghost" the most.

The container of the "parasitic crab" is hard to come by, the success rate is even more unreliable than metaphysics, and he probably can't afford it. The "leaf caterpillar" is purely a matter of luck, and no one can guarantee what species it will grow into before evolving.

Although the "Phantom Ghost" has no combat power, it still has space attributes. He thinks that the space plus the racial characteristics of the Phantom Ghost itself still have some ideas for training. The shopping guide also said that there is a big ghost with a spiritual power value of 400 at the association headquarters. Although it is not high, it can be trained after all.

Gambling on luck has a sense of resigning oneself to fate, which he doesn't like very much. It would be better to be a phantom ghost who has his own direction to work towards.

He thought about it over and over again but still couldn't bring himself to do it. He always felt that these ones did not have the "incredible potential" that he expected.

Time and resources are limited.

The cell phone rang. It was Cha Ling calling.

"Junior, a batch of extraordinary materials has just arrived at the center today. If you are interested, come and take a look. I am here too."

Cha Ling had been ignoring Mo Xu these past few days, giving him plenty of time. Now she came to him only to offer help, which made Mo Xu grateful.

If Cha Ling was the kind of person who was eager to use Mo Xu as a research subject, even if Mo Xu still cooperated, he would not be sincere.

"Thank you, Senior. That's great. I'll be there right away."

"Well, come over here first. I'll hang up first."

Mo Xu planned to go to the center first to look at the materials and try his luck. If he found nothing, he would go home and worry about it.

Arriving at the center, Mo Xu was taken by Cha Ling to the warehouse on the second floor below ground. Cha Ling introduced that all the materials of Jiangming City would be stored in the basement of the central building. The deeper the storage is, the more precious the materials are and the stricter the guards are.

It was the first time that Mo Xu knew that there was so much hidden secrets underground in the central building. It had only been a week since his last visit, and this time he had a deeper understanding of what a giant the Beastmaster Association was.

When Mo Xu arrived, he happened to see five men in military uniforms leaving. The leading man had three gold stars embroidered on his shoulder straps.

"Captain Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Cha Ling said to the officer.

Captain Zhang nodded in greeting, glanced at Mo Xu, turned around and walked into the elevator without saying a word.

The goods on this floor have been unloaded. Mo Xu noticed that many people gathered around the warehouse, and most of them were young people like him. They seemed to be well-informed and wanted to find some materials.

Cha Ling pointed at the door and said, "This is a low-level warehouse. It has everything from regular materials to low-level fine materials. It should be more than enough for you. There are a wide variety of everything in it. I didn't look closely, so you can look for it yourself. As for whether you can take it away, it depends on you."

"Well, thank you for your help, Senior."

"You're welcome. I was hoping you would really treat me as your junior fellow apprentice." Cha Ling brushed her hair gracefully. "Then I'll leave first. I also have to go downstairs to pick some. I wish you good luck."

"Goodbye, senior sister."

Three or five minutes after saying goodbye to Cha Ling, as the warehouse manager finished the inventory and agreed to open the warehouse, the people at the door entered the warehouse to select materials.

The items in the warehouse were all categorized. Following the instructions on the signboards, Mo Xu easily came to the water-related materials section to see if there were any materials suitable for the parasitic crabs.

There was also a chestnut-haired boy who had arrived earlier and was talking on the phone quietly.

"Brother Li, here are two new pieces of aquamarine jade... Yes... They need 200 contribution points. Do you want to exchange them all?"

Seeing someone coming, the boy politely stepped aside to talk on the phone.

This place is like a museum exhibition hall, with different materials placed in protective covers, and nameplates and prices hanging outside the covers. There are so many types of materials that Mo Xu, who came here for the first time, felt like he had opened his eyes.

He saw a material that he might be able to use, which was a snow-white shell. It glowed coldly under the lights in the warehouse, making people feel slightly chilly.

The nameplate reads: "Hanwang Shell", a high-level conventional material. The price is 83 contribution points.

This shell is of good quality and looks suitable for feeding crabs, but the price is staggering.

Contribution points are a type of points unique to Beastmasters. Points can be obtained by completing association tasks, killing wild monsters, or participating in competitions, etc., and the points can be used to trade and exchange for extraordinary materials.

In the Beast Tamer, points are a trading currency parallel to money, with an exchange rate of about 1:1000~1200. Many people even think that contribution points are more important than points.

83 contribution points may be equivalent to nearly yuan, which is undoubtedly a sky-high price for Mo Xu.

Then he went to the secret breeding place and found a method to cultivate "leaf caterpillars" into camouflage butterflies.

The "Camouflage Butterfly" is a high-level spiritual monster that can even rival some heroic spirit races.

However, this cultivation secret recipe with a success rate of 16% also costs 220 contribution points.

Mo Xu felt that he was trapped in a vicious circle. Only by becoming stronger could he have more resources, and only by having more resources could he become stronger. But now he was stuck at the first step and couldn't take another step.

After walking around for a long time, he found that there were indeed quite a few materials that attracted his attention, but the prices were all out of his reach.

Fortunately, there are some things here that Mo Xu can take.

Some regular materials can be easily obtained by participating in volunteer activities organized by the association, but they are only available to awakened people who have not yet registered as apprentice beastmasters, and are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Of course, there are other restrictions. If you get these materials, you must register as a beastmaster in Jiangming City in the future. This can be regarded as a means for the Jiangming City Association to attract local talents.

Mo Xu took a look and found that the free stuff was just very mediocre, and they were all materials that were not commonly used. But when you think about it, it makes sense that even the association would not be able to afford to give away the commonly used and regular materials for free.

Even these makeshift materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If it weren't for Cha Ling leading the way, ordinary people would not be able to catch up with this good thing.

These include "Pollen of the Wood Spirit Flower Princess", "Sulfur Fire", "Sword Spirit Condensation Method" and so on.

Mo Xu was interested in one of the space-related skills. Space is an extremely rare attribute, which is usually only found in the king race. Beastmasters who can afford to support the king race usually have plenty of regular resources, which means this combat skill is actually useless. It's no wonder that the association gave it away for free.

The combat skill is called "Body Dislocation", a high-level conventional skill that can cause the body to be dislocated in space.

Mo Xu felt that this was quite suitable for "Phantom Ghost".

But the most important thing is that he can get it for free, and getting it for free is great.

As long as he serves as a volunteer for the exchange competition for seven days, he can choose two materials. He hasn't decided on the other one, but he will definitely take this one first as a respect.

After registering as a volunteer, Mo Xu felt that today was not completely fruitless.

When Mo Xu left the warehouse and returned to the central hall, he happened to meet the shopping guide that day.

The young lady was holding a potted plant and recognized Mo Xu. She greeted him, "What a coincidence, handsome boy, are you here to buy something again?"

"Yes, what a coincidence." Mo Xu glanced at the potted plant in her hand. It was a very tender little grass with green leaves swaying slightly.

Seeing Mo Xu staring at the potted plant in his hand, she lifted it up and said, "This is the lucky clover my sister gave me. You see, it has four leaves. It is said that there is only one in a hundred thousand plants. I put it in my office to bring good fortune."

"It's quite special."

Mo Xu suddenly had an idea and used some supernatural power on the grass.

Then he was shocked.
