Chapter 77: Beast Codex
As soon as Song Tiantian returned to the Pet Beast Center, she saw a message pop up on her mobile phone.
Her mobile phone was forced to open a live broadcast.
A young man with a somewhat sinister aura appeared in the live broadcast.
“Ga ga~~~”
It started with a voice like a duck’s quack, and Song Tiantian frowned.
“Greetings, people of Qingshan. You can call me Lord Ghost, because I declare that from now on, Qingshan will be ruled by me. I’ll give your Enforcement Team a chance; I want to play a thrilling game with you. The people I’m going to kill next are Li Weimin of Keyao Pharmaceutical Group, Xin Ming of Qingshan East District, Chen Wenbing of Mingwen Apparel Co., Ltd…”
The other party actually read out a string of names publicly on the live broadcast.
And the last name was Song Tiantian of the Qingshan Pet Beast Center.
This was a death list.
Song Tiantian was on the death list.
Lord Ghost stated that he would kill the people he named one by one, in the order he read them.
Song Tiantian was unfortunate to be on the list, but fortunate to be the last one.
And the Law Enforcement Officers could set up ambushes in advance according to the order to catch Lord Ghost.
Song Tiantian’s initial thought was that no matter what, she wouldn’t leave the Qingshan Pet Beast Center.
However, after much thought, she felt that whether she left or not didn’t make much of a difference.
Lord Ghost could invade people within the Pet Beast Center; the more she was afraid, the more nervous she became.
Lord Ghost hadn’t even appeared yet, and she had already scared herself to death.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
This was Song Tiantian’s thought.
Song Tiantian touched the Hell Ghost Vine on her wrist, deciding that she wouldn’t put the Hell Ghost Vine back into her Pet Beast Space for the time being.
Because it took a few seconds to summon a Pet Beast from the Pet Beast Space, and in a critical moment, those few seconds could decide the outcome of a battle.
She needed to Contract another Pet Beast; her Strength was more than enough to Contract three Pet Beasts.
Song Tiantian turned off her mobile phone.
She threw her mobile phone into her Pet Beast Space and then went to look at the Wish Bird again.
Actually, the Pet Beast Song Tiantian wanted to Contract the most was this Wish Bird.
Unfortunately, the Wish Bird still gave Song Tiantian a hateful glance and never looked at her again.
Even though Song Tiantian found the Wish Bird’s favorite food, golden melon seeds, she only managed to elevate her from the position of “most hated person” to “hated person.”
In reality, sometimes people and beasts just need to have a good rapport.
Rapport is very important.
It’s like getting married; even if you really like money and think of a millionaire boss, if he’s incredibly ugly, and you can’t stand the sight of him, you’d ultimately find it hard to swallow. The thought of physical contact would make you feel sick.
In the end, you’d choose to give up.
This is the situation between Song Tiantian and the Wish Bird now; even though Song Tiantian can provide the Wish Bird with its favorite food, the Wish Bird still dislikes Song Tiantian.
This is a lack of rapport.
Song Tiantian didn’t want to force the Wish Bird.
Song Tiantian turned her gaze to other Pet Beasts.
She scanned them over and over but didn’t see any suitable Pet Beasts.
However, the System, which had been dormant for a long time, finally spoke.
【Ding! The strongest Pet Beast, Youlan Beast, has been detected. Host, please Contract the Youlan Beast immediately.】
Song Tiantian walked up to the so-called Youlan Beast; it was a small beast with a somewhat transparent body.
【Woman, look into my eyes carefully! You will be amazed by them!】
Just as Song Tiantian was about to observe it carefully, she heard the Youlan Beast’s inner voice.
She immediately closed her eyes and turned in another direction. Her Mental Power was not yet strong enough to be used for pathfinding.
But she had a blind cane. Song Tiantian threw out her blind cane and used it to find her way. As for safety, she had the Hell Ghost Vine to protect her.
Song Tiantian took out the Pet Beast Manual from her Pet Beast Space:
Ghost, Nine-star Fierce Beast, good at bewitching people, formless, can split infinitely.
Enjoys devouring human Soul Power.
The stronger the Soul Power, the more delicious it is.
This is simply unsolvable.
Doesn’t it just like to eat people?
【Damn it, how does she have a blind cane?】
【Damn it, how did I get such a stupid clone? The Beast Codex I worked so hard to obtain was just handed over so easily.】
【How did she open the Beast Codex so quickly, without any hesitation? This speed is too fast.】
【That’s not right! The Beast Codex in her hand is only half a book. She should only be able to see what I like to eat; she shouldn’t know my weakness! Why did she know to close her eyes!】
【It must be some wicked human who researched my weakness.】
【Her taste is so fragrant! She must be delicious. Why did my clone fail? I remember the clone ate most of her soul back then, yet she’s still alive, and her Soul Power has transformed into such a delicacy.】
【I’m truly too kind. I used to be foolish when eating souls, even making deals with people. The soul wasn’t fully eaten, the clone died, and all the rewards went to her.】
【Damn it, why won’t she open her eyes! Why does she keep her eyes closed! How can she be so wicked!】
【Why is she walking so fast with her eyes closed? I can’t catch up no matter how hard I try, it’s infuriating.】
···········
Song Tiantian, guided by the strength of the inner voice, avoided the Ghost step by step.
The Ghost originally intended to subdue Song Tiantian in the first instance, and then kill the others according to the ranking order.
Killing could be done in sequence, but no one expected him to seek out these people on the list in advance.
Song Tiantian now felt she might have guessed the truth.
The System belonged to the original owner, because the original owner’s wish was to become a veterinarian specializing in treating Pet Beasts, so the original owner wanted a System.
The Ghost devoured the original owner’s soul, so the Ghost fulfilled the deal with the original owner and gave the System to the original owner.
But was the Ghost really that kind?
This System was clearly controllable by the Ghost, for example, by issuing false commands.
【Ding! Host, please Contract the Youlan Beast as soon as possible!】
【Warning! Host, please Contract the Youlan Beast as soon as possible!】
【Warning! Warning!】
Large red characters flashed in Song Tiantian’s mind.
Song Tiantian silently chanted “Close System, Close System” countless times in her heart.
However, the System still did not close.
Now the cards were on the table.
Song Tiantian suddenly remembered that the Snow Lion and White Lotus were the first Pet Beasts she had rescued.
Could it be that this darn System only had two rewards, so after she rescued two Fierce Beasts, there were no more rewards?
It was useless to rescue any more afterwards.
Actually, this System was still somewhat useful; it could assist in checking the injuries of Fierce Beasts.
Although it couldn’t scan the severity of the injuries, it could detect that they were injured.
For example, the Hell Ghost Vine, which had failed its Promotion and greatly reduced its Strength, would also be classified as injured. Therefore, Song Tiantian kept feeding the Hell Ghost Vine, which made Big White unhappy, feeling that Song Tiantian wasn’t paying enough attention to it.
