Chapter 31: Storm Tiger
Pet Beast Center.
Song Tiantian first took Leng Feng to the monitoring center. The people in the monitoring center had not yet gotten off work.
Song Tiantian carried a bag of fruit, which Father Song had bought for her. She gave it to the security guard at the monitoring center.
The security guard saw Song Tiantian’s work permit. Moreover, Song Tiantian often wandered around here daily, so he recognized her and was very polite to her.
Mainly, he had seen Song Tiantian and Dr. Bai wandering upstairs together several times late at night.
“Uncle Zhang, I’m bringing a friend to take a look. I’ll arrange a standard suite for him upstairs, 500 per room. The cashier is off duty, so we’ll pay together at the cashier tomorrow morning.”
“Assistant Song, since he’s your friend, why pay? The suites here are often empty anyway, and it’s a waste if no one stays in them.”
“Thank you, Uncle Zhang. We’ll take a look at all the Pet Beast monitoring here, one by one. I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“You’re too kind!”
Perhaps because of the fruit, Uncle Zhang was very polite to Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian pointed at the monitor and said to Leng Feng, “You need to watch carefully. Whichever Fierce Beast you want to Contract, I will arrange for you to get close to it tomorrow.
You only have the chance to choose now. Don’t challenge anyone on the spot later; once you’ve decided, stick with it.
Contracting a Fierce Beast is like dating and getting married. If you pick and choose in front of someone, do you think they would be willing or happy?
Besides, your Mental Power is not enough. In the world of Pet Beasts, this makes you a nobody. If you were a rich and handsome guy, they might tolerate it.
Pet Beasts judge a person’s worth solely by their Mental Energy fluctuations.
Although we can use potions to compensate later, we still need to lay a good foundation.
You need to cultivate a good relationship first, so the Contract will be twice as effective.
Most importantly, your first Pet Beast is crucial. It will share a certain amount of Life Force with you. If the Affection Level isn’t high enough, it won’t be very willing.”
Song Tiantian took a sip of water and then began to explain the Pet Beasts here: “What you see now is a Sprite. Sprites are very effective for growing flowers and plants, and their survival cost is extremely low. Once you Contract one, it won’t cost you a dime.
This is a Savage Lion. It has a blue Talent and is a commonly used Pet Beast. It can tank and attack, and it has a Supernatural Ability. You’ll be able to use its Supernatural Ability when you become a Three-star Beast Tamer. However, it eats a lot and prefers meat. It’s not recommended for poor families to Contract it. If you can’t afford to feed it and starve it, it will definitely become very violent and might even turn back into a Fierce Beast.
“This is an Iron-eating Beast. Its Combat Power is quite good in the early stages, and it has great Strength. Its main food can be various kinds of Scrap Iron, and it can also eat ordinary Bamboo. Its survival cost is not high, and the Scrap Iron it excretes turns into refined iron, which can be sold for money.
However, because it lacks Supernatural Abilities, its evolutionary potential is limited in the later stages, so not many people Contract it.
“This is a Sky Giant Eagle. It has a blue Talent and is currently in its juvenile stage. When it matures, it will be about the size of a small Airplane. It can carry its Owner to fly. Its claws and beak are very sharp. Its Supernatural Ability is Wind Blade, which allows it to control wind direction. It eats meat, a lot of meat, and also needs a balanced diet. It eats vegetarian food, only eating Fruits that are One Star or higher.
Its feeding cost is very high, and it also needs to fly freely outside from time to time.
“A Bluebird, with white Talent. It eats small Fruits and is suitable for delivering express packages and airdrops.”
…
“This is the only Storm Tiger in our Pet Beast Center. It has a Silver Talent and two Skills: the first is Freeze, and the second is an area-of-effect attack, Frost Storm Explosion. Its main diet is meat, but it also likes Ice Spiritual Fruits and Ice Spiritual Plants. It also likes ice cream cones, but eating too much ice cream is not good for it; it can only have it occasionally.
Its feeding cost is very high, and it is the most expensive in our Pet Beast Center. If you feed it more Ice-type Fierce Beast crystal cores and Ice Spiritual Plants, its Talent might even rise further, possibly reaching Gold.
By the time Song Tiantian’s mouth was dry from talking.
Leng Feng finally spoke.
“I want to Contract this Storm Tiger.”
“You really dare to think!”
“Is it possible or not?”
“It’s extremely difficult. You should rest well and replenish your energy so you can meet it with the best mental state. This also depends on fate; it might be willing if it takes a liking to you. As a friendly reminder, that Awakening Potion tastes quite bad, so be prepared. Remember to swipe your card tomorrow morning to buy two bottles of Cold Fragrance Number One, one for you and one for the Storm Tiger.
Whether it succeeds or not, sincerity must be shown.
Then, when you meet it tomorrow, it will try to scare you because the weaker party is not qualified to be its Owner.
I’ll arrange a room for you where only the Fierce Beast is present. In case you get scared and look pathetic, you won’t be seen by other Pet Beasts, which won’t affect your ability to Contract other Fierce Beasts.”
Leng Feng did not refuse Song Tiantian’s kindness, as he also wanted to have a backup plan.
Since he could try to choose the strongest, he naturally wanted the strongest.
This time, Leng Feng told himself to rest well, but he was still incredibly excited.
He finally forced himself to count sheep to fall asleep.
The next morning, he woke up early, not needing Song Tiantian to call him at all.
He waited until ten o’clock before Song Tiantian came to find him.
This should be considered noon already!
He thought.
Song Tiantian led him into the Storm Tiger’s room.
Actually, there were other Pet Beasts with Silver Talent in this area, not just the Storm Tiger, but there was only one tiger-type Pet Beast with Silver Talent.
The moment he saw the Storm Tiger, he was stunned.
The Storm Tiger was enormous, even larger than he had imagined. Its pair of fierce, watchful eyes seemed to pierce through with boundless courage and territorial awareness, exuding an aura of dominance.
It was too powerful. At first glance, he knew he had to Contract the Storm Tiger.
“Storm Tiger, this is the person who wants to Contract you. What do you think?”
The moment Song Tiantian spoke, the Storm Tiger’s entire aura changed. Its muscles bulged, its eyes became incredibly fierce, and it looked as if it wanted to devour Leng Feng on the spot.
“Roar!”
A powerful Pressure almost made Leng Feng kneel.
Song Tiantian flashed behind Leng Feng, injected a stream of Spiritual Power into him, and said to Leng Feng, “Leng Feng, with your Strength, you can’t possibly Contract the Storm Tiger. You should give up! If this continues, it will kill you.”
Leng Feng remembered that these were the lines Song Tiantian had given him.
At this moment, he had already forgotten what he was supposed to say. He said to Song Tiantian with great determination, “The Storm Tiger is the strongest Pet Beast. How could its Owner be a good-for-nothing! I will not give up.”
