The general is above [rebirth]

One in five thousandth?This time it was Ye Ze's turn to be surprised.

He thought the so-called "contracted beast" was a creature that everyone was born with in fantasy novels.From the family's attitude towards him, he can't see what's so strange about the contracted beast at all, and there's still a one in five thousand chance of being summoned?

But after thinking about it, Oswell should be a big family, and there must be a lot of outstanding clan children in the clan. In comparison, he, the direct young master, seems useless.

At this moment, facing the young man's question, Ye Ze has no intention of confessing.After all, Xiaobai has no fighting power. Since the contracted beast is very rare, it is not good for him to expose its existence rashly.

So he slowly shook his head and said, "I was exaggerating a bit. In the place where I used to live, contracted beasts were quite common, so I didn't know it was so rare."

The young man's emerald green pupils were full of curiosity and yearning: "Which planet are you from? Most of you can summon contracted beasts?"

Ye Ze was at a loss for words for a while, he didn't know how to answer, so he simply chuckled twice and didn't speak again.

The boy didn't ask any more questions, he got up and patted his clothes: "Well, it's getting late, I'm going back to the city, goodbye."

Back to the city?Ye Ze moved his ears, and suddenly had an idea: "Excuse me, can you take me into the city?"

"Eh?"

Ye Ze sighed: "As you can see, I... can be regarded as a vagrant, and now I need to find a job to support myself. Of course, if it makes you embarrassed, don't use it."

The first priority now is to solve the food and clothing problem, so he needs to go to the city to find a job, and it would be great if the boy is willing to take him to the city.

The blond boy showed a sudden realization: "Are you an interstellar wanderer?"

Ye Ze nodded with a vague understanding: "Yes."

The young man quietly looked at Ye Ze sideways for a long time, and when he met Ye Ze's gaze, he looked away embarrassedly. He thought for a while, and suggested in a low voice: "Actually... I just need a helper by my side. I am everything now." It's a bit difficult to do it alone, I mean, if you want, you can come to me and help me..."

This time it was Ye Ze's turn to be surprised. He didn't doubt the boy's good intentions, but... this boy who was as timid as a rabbit dared to take him in?

After a pause, the young man subconsciously rolled up the corner of his clothes, looking a little cramped: "But I can't pay the salary for the time being, I just take care of food and housing, I can let you adapt to Weiner City for a while, and when you are in Weiner City After staying for three months, you can get its temporary residence permit, and then you can look for other jobs, okay?"

The young man's voice became weaker and weaker. After he finished speaking, his cheeks felt a little hot. After all, it was unreasonable to hire someone to help without paying wages.

Just when he lowered his head and plucked his fingers, he unexpectedly heard the other party's laughter: "Am I hired?"

He looked up, and saw Ye Ze looking at him with his head tilted. A faint smile hung on the handsome young man's face. The young man stared blankly and nodded.

"That's great, I just need to take care of food and housing, and the deal will be made." Ye Ze said, holding out his hand.

The young man held his hand in a daze, and it took him a long time to realize that he had succeeded so easily. His emerald green pupils shone brightly under the golden light, and the corners of the young man's mouth curled into a big arc: "My name is Al. Wen, Alvin Colin, how about you?"

"Ye Ze. That's all right? Don't I need to verify my identity?" Although he didn't have anything to prove himself, Ye Ze still asked: "What if I'm not some interstellar wanderer? But what about interstellar wanted criminals?"

"Hey, there are so many travelers who shuttle around the planets every day, and I haven't seen much trouble. You must not be a bad person, I can tell." Alvin smiled, revealing two cute dimples.

Ye Ze sighed, and thought of his little cousin who looked innocent but was actually a ghost. His surname is no longer Oswell, so he probably won't have any more contact with him...

"Now, let's go back together?"

Sitting in the boy's little flying saucer, overlooking all the wonders of the earth, Ye Ze still feels as if he has been in another world. Really, he has already been in another world.

The flying saucer was traveling very fast, heading west along the track in the sky.After only ten minutes of flying, the magnificent outline of the city appeared in front of Ye Ze.

It was a vast and boundless urban complex. Over the city were dazzling floating boats, flying saucers, and hovering vehicles. There were multiple tracks in the sky, and various light screens were projected in the air, displaying all kinds of advertisements.

"Look~ That's Wiener City!"

The periphery of the city is surrounded by a matte alloy city wall, and there are many small doors at the foot of the city wall for pedestrians and private cars to enter and exit.And right in front of them, there is a gate that is tens of meters high.

The gate is not the kind of closed city gate, but a huge door opening. A transparent light curtain composed of blue streamers emanates from the door opening, and some small and medium-sized flying saucers constantly shuttle through the light curtain.

"Are all the cities here like this? I mean—" Ye Ze gestured towards Weiner City: "Why do you need to build a city wall for this kind of closed wall?"

Even on Earth, city walls existed in ancient times to defend against foreign enemies. Why are city walls still needed in this high-tech age?

"Aze, are you from an A-level planet? All cities on B-level planets basically have this kind of protection configuration, in order to prevent monsters from invading."

"what?"

Ye Ze was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard it wrong—a monster! ?

Alvin didn't notice the disbelief in Ye Ze's tone, and continued to explain: "A-level planets can spread the blue light protection net all over the planet, which is the kind of blue light flowing over the city gates and above the city, so there is no need to build a city wall .B-level planets are limited by factors such as technology and economy, so they can only be enveloped in various cities to prevent monsters from suddenly invading one day."

Ye Ze finally confirmed that what he was talking about was indeed a "monster".

Was it the monster he thought it was?One of those rugged looking, destructive giant monsters you see in movies?Ye Ze looked at the sky, he had really traveled to a fantasy world.

Those who entered the city for the first time needed to register temporarily, and the procedures went smoothly. Including the waiting time, it took no more than half an hour.

After entering Wiener City, the flying speed of the flying saucer slowed down significantly, and it took another ten minutes before it landed slowly on a street.

"I'm home~"

The residential area on both sides of the street is composed of rows of square houses, with a simple and novel appearance. The street is paved with white stones, and small emerald green plants are planted on both sides of the road, which looks clean and tidy.

Under the blue sky, all kinds of mini-aircraft are flying around, flying in the air with the birds, and some cleaning robots and sales robots are walking on the streets.

Alvin's house is not big, very simple and fresh. One bedroom, one living room, one bathroom are well-structured, which saves a lot of space. The walls are made of a plastic-like smooth material, and electronic screens are inlaid on all sides.

Alvin seemed very excited about the arrival of his new friend, and hurriedly greeted Ye Ze.

"Are you hungry? Are you tired? Oh yes, your injury! Wait, I'll get the healing device!"

As he said that, he put down the water glass he had just taken out and ran to the bedroom.

Looking at the young boy who suddenly became lively, Ye Ze rubbed his temples: "I'm really fine..." Before he finished speaking, Alvin rushed out with a small device: "Where is the injury? Let's take a photo. "

Ye Ze had no choice but to roll up his shapeless sleeves: "Look."

The long arms are clean and undamaged, but there are some blood stains.

Alvin breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Ze looked at the small machine in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Hey, don't you know it? This is a healing device, which can speed up the healing of wounds. But mine is cheap, and it can only achieve 10 times the normal healing speed. The top healing device can reach a thousand times faster."

Ye Ze was taken aback, the science and technology of this era has developed to the point that wounds can also be treated with instruments?But in this way, wouldn't Xiaobai's ability be useless?

"In other words, any injury can be healed with a healing device?"

"Trauma is basically fine, and you have to take medicine for fever and cold. And the therapeutic equipment is also effective for animals. The only exception is contracted animals. They themselves are a kind of existence that cannot be explained by science. All kinds of equipment developed by humans are not applicable. For them, once the contracted beast is injured, it can only rely on the power of high-level spiritual plants, or recuperate and heal itself in the owner's body."

"..."

Thanks to Alvin, the first day of exile from Oswell's house was not difficult.

When he opened his eyes the next day, the sky was still gray before dawn, and Ye Ze was lying on the sofa in the living room in loose white pajamas.Although Alvin blushed and invited himself to sleep with him on the foldable double bed, Ye Ze still chose the sofa.As a special soldier who is used to life in the army, he doesn't mind sharing a bed with anyone, but he is afraid that Alvin won't get used to it.

The bedroom door was suddenly opened, Alvin rubbed his eyes, and wandered out in a daze.

"Good morning, why did you wake up so early?" Ye Ze turned over and greeted the sleepy-eyed blond boy.

"No, I usually start at this point." The boy's voice was still hoarse with sleepiness: "Good morning~"

Ye Ze glanced at the digital watch on the wall in surprise, it was only [-]:[-].

"Let me prepare something to eat, what flavor do you want?"

Mentioning this "food", Ye Ze felt his stomach twitch.The "food" that Alvin refers to is a white translucent liquid food, which is available in solid, liquid, and pasty forms. It can be prepared into various flavors through seasonings, forming this popular food.

Its current status is the same as the fast food in the previous life, but it is more popular than fast food. The three meals contain all the nutrients a person needs for a day, and the price is low. It is an excellent choice for some poor or ordinary families .

But Ye Ze didn't like this kind of food at all. Although the taste was good after adding seasoning, the visual effect still made him feel sick.

But now that he is living under the fence, he can't be picky about this free food, so he just shrugged: "I don't care, are you going to collect spiritual plants today? Do you want me to help?"

"Can you? You don't need to rest for a few more days?"

"No, it doesn't hurt."

"Okay~ Then we'll be on our way later!"

After breakfast, the two went out early. The aircraft left the city and headed for the endless green forest.

To the north of Vina City is the Astiga Mountains, which are covered by vast forests. Before the "big mining", they were once a treasure land rich in spiritual plants.The entire forest covers an area of ​​more than 100 million square kilometers and passes through several cities, but Ye Ze and his group's range of activities is only a corner of the forest around the A11 space station.

Alvin explained a lot of basic knowledge about spirit plants to Ye Ze along the way. The grades of spirit plants adopt the common star system of the Federation-the quality is divided into ten stars from poor to good, and each three-star is a level. One to three stars is a low level, four to six stars is an intermediate level, seven to nine stars is a high level, and ten stars is a holy level.

This star rating system is generally recognized by the entire Federation. Whether it is spiritual plants, contract beasts, battleships, or energy chips, they are generally divided by star ratings.

In the forest, there is a kind of one-star spirit plant called Xingluocao, which is also their main collection target.It is one of the most common foods for contracted beasts, and it only provides a certain amount of energy without any special effects.

"Stargrass is already the most common spiritual plant here, but it's still hard to find. So we still have to rely on it for the main gathering work—" Alvin said, pointing to a Small and medium-sized instruments: "This is a detector. When there are spiritual plants within a certain range, it will mark them with different colors according to their star level."

Ye Ze blinked: "It's so amazing, isn't it easy to collect?"

"It's not easy. Its detection range is very limited. This forest is too big. I can only collect three to five plants in a day. Its sensitivity is also average, and it can only detect low-level spiritual plants. The taller the spirit plants, the weaker their aura, and it's hard to find them. But after the mining, there are no high-level spirit plants left in the forest."

Sure enough, as Alvin said, the collection of spiritual plants was indeed not easy. In the blink of an eye, the two flew for almost an hour, and the detector never sounded.

Suddenly, Ye Ze felt a little guy in his body ready to move——

noob! ?It was Xiaobai calling him.

The contracted beast that was originally in the body suddenly became restless. Unfortunately, the little guy was just born, and he couldn't communicate well with his master. It was so anxious that it rolled in Ye Ze's body and almost rushed out.

Ye Ze hurriedly comforted and suppressed him, he didn't want Xiaobai to just pop out in broad daylight.After some struggles, the little guy at least understood what his master meant, and stopped making trouble, but he still looked very anxious.

What exactly is it trying to do?

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Ye Ze's mind: "Contracted beasts...can they sense the existence of spirit plants?"
