Chapter 7: Swearing
Jiang Su stood at the doorway, dumbfounded.
As he watched Song Tiantian walk over with a smile as if nothing had happened, he felt a chill down his spine. He always felt that Song Tiantian might suddenly slap him in the next second.
After all, Song Tiantian’s action of slapping looked quite skilled.
Clearly, Song Tiantian had a tragic experience, betrayed by her family.
However, the energy she possessed was too strong, so strong that it was impossible to treat her as a victim.
It was clearly a very upsetting matter, the kind that would make anyone’s heart ache, but when Song Tiantian said it, it felt interesting.
“Um, that thesis by Dr. Bai you just mentioned, didn’t I just teach it to you? You’ve already digested it so quickly.”
“Of course, I’m a genius!”
“Can’t you be a little more humble?” Jiang Su advised euphemistically.
“Alright! I am a humble genius.”
Uh!
“Little Jiang! Do you want to know how I deciphered Dr. Bai’s thesis?”
“Ah!”
“Did you see my live broadcast just now? I’m going to become a Beast Tamer within three months. If I fail, I’ll be ridiculed by the entire internet. My younger sister’s slander against me might even be taken as truth by others.
I’m betting my life with Dr. Bai. If I win, I’ll be successfully hired.
Now I’m betting my entire future honor and reputation with you. As long as you find someone who can afford a Snow Lion, and they are not over thirty years old, and they buy it and pay for it, I can guarantee they will successfully form a contract.
This is Dr. Bai’s theory: contracts don’t depend on talent, but the prerequisite is that they can cooperate with me.
After it’s done, you will continue to guide my studies for three months free of charge.”
She had no honor to begin with, and as for reputation, without fame, this thing served no purpose.
Three months was just a gimmick. If she failed, netizens wouldn’t be that malicious; a bit of mockery, and the matter would pass. At most, she would set a new flag next time.
Perhaps failing more and being proven wrong more often could even attract a new batch of fans.
“Then try me. I quite like Snow Lions.”
Jiang Su actually had a dream of becoming a Beast Tamer, but he failed several times and gave up, planning to contract a weak Sprite. But even that didn’t work out.
Beast Tamer talent is very strange and difficult to detect. Besides official important institutions, only Dr. Bai has instruments to detect Beast Tamer talent. It’s also rumored that Dr. Bai is researching how to improve Beast Tamer talent, which is why he came to study under Dr. Bai. In reality, he couldn’t understand those research reports and was idle every day, only able to take care of Pet Beasts.
Snow Lions are Silver Talent level Pet Beasts. Pet Beast levels are divided into White, Green, Blue, Silver, and then Gold. Gold Talent is almost the strongest Pet Beast.
The Snow Lion was just a little bit short, and according to his research, the Snow Lion was about to break through.
If he could contract a Snow Lion, it would be an unimaginable feat.
“Um, do you have money? Snow Lions are currently the most expensive in our Pet Beast Center. You go pay first, and once I confirm you have the money, I’ll help you.”
“Of course I do. I’ll go right now.”
“Um, don’t we staff members also get a sales commission? Can this sale’s commission be counted for me? Don’t worry, if it’s unsuccessful, I’ll give you a full refund.”
“Fine!” Jiang Su nodded dismissively.
“No way, one hundred million! This is too much!”
Song Tiantian reached the cashier and discovered that the Snow Lion was outrageously expensive.
“The Snow Lion had a bad temper before, which is why it was discounted. Now the Snow Lion is very docile, so it should return to its normal price. Moreover, the Snow Lion is about to break through, and its price will increase again soon…”
Song Tiantian couldn’t listen to the rest of what was said, nor could she process it. It was just too exorbitant.
Before, she thought Dr. Bai giving her a hundred thousand bonus was too much, too generous.
Now, she felt she had been shortchanged.
“It’s okay, I expected this. I’ll pay a ten million deposit first, and I’ll pay the remaining balance within three days.”
Jiang Su had anticipated this.
Buying a Snow Lion for one hundred million was not a loss.
“Um, do you have any more money? You know, Snow Lions eat a lot. If you contract it and don’t feed it, starving it, it will definitely run away.”
“Don’t worry, I will never starve the Snow Lion again in my life. Last night, I deliberately ate only fifty grams for dinner, and I was so dizzy I could barely stand. I really don’t know how the Snow Lion endured for so long. I think it’s already very powerful for enduring this long.”
“The first step in contracting a Pet Beast is to build a good emotional foundation. Go to the kitchen and get a piece of fresh Fierce Beast Meat, and also prepare a piece of cooked and seasoned Fierce Beast Meat. We’ll first test whether the Snow Lion prefers raw or cooked meat. Remember, it shouldn’t be too well-cooked; half-raw is best.”
Song Tiantian instructed Jiang Su, while she picked up a book on contracting Pet Beasts written by Dr. Bai and some thesis papers on contracts, seizing the time to fill her knowledge.
As Dr. Bai’s Assistant, she had exceptionally high authority at this Pet Beast Center. Many of the documents and books here could not be found online.
If Song Tiantian hadn’t had Jiang Su explain things to her all morning, she wouldn’t have been able to understand them at all.
She had no idea what many of the professional terms meant.
There were also foreign documents that required Jiang Su to translate for her.
Jiang Su returned with six pieces of meat, placing them in front of the Snow Lion.
【So much meat! 】
【So fragrant! 】
【Finally, no more dry Beast Food. 】
Seeing the meat, the Snow Lion happily ran to Jiang Su, not even noticing him petting its head.
【This one is delicious! 】
【This one is also delicious! 】
【This one is the most delicious! 】
【This meat is too old, no chewiness! Oh well, I’ll eat it too, it’s a bit better than Beast Food. 】
Song Tiantian noticed that the Snow Lion was displeased with the overcooked piece of meat.
It seemed that the taste preferences of Fierce Beasts were not entirely the same as humans; Fierce Beasts preferred half-raw meat.
“Snow Lion, do you want to eat whatever you want in the future? Just tap the bowl, and next time you’ll eat the exact same meat!”
The Snow Lion remembered Song Tiantian and felt that Song Tiantian wouldn’t harm it. Although it didn’t know what Song Tiantian was thinking, it instinctively nodded at Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian immediately patted Jiang Su beside her and said to the Snow Lion, “Then contract with him. He’s very rich and can buy lots of meat. He’ll buy you whatever you want to eat. After contracting, you can also go fight other Fierce Beasts, go outside, to a wider world.
Jiang Su, swear to the heavens now that you will take it to eat many, many delicious things and will never starve it!”
Jiang Su reacted quickly. He immediately raised his hand and said to the Snow Lion, “I, Jiang Su, swear to the heavens that after contracting with the Snow Lion, I will be devoted to it. If I have a bite to eat, I will not let the Snow Lion go hungry!”
