Chapter 92: The Wish Bird’s Past
The Wish Bird looked at Song Tiantian, flipped over, and appeared extremely wronged.
Seeing its appearance, Song Tiantian’s previous resentment dissipated by more than half. She was thinking that when Doctor Bai returned, she would ask Doctor Bai to release the Wish Bird.
She would pay that money for the Wish Bird.
The Wish Bird did not have any harmful skills.
It would not harm humans if released. The Wish Bird was different from those brutal Fierce Beasts; it had committed no wrongdoing. It was only tricked by a whistling youth into leaving the Secret Realm and then sold.
Song Tiantian knew that the Wish Bird’s greatest desire was freedom.
It was normal for the Wish Bird to dislike her.
If she put herself in the Wish Bird’s shoes, living well in its own home, suddenly being taken to an unfamiliar place, locked up, restrained, and asked to contract with a stranger it disliked.
This was no different from those girls sold into the Big Mountain.
Song Tiantian could hear the Wish Bird’s Inner Voice, so she knew a little about its past.
If that youth had contracted with the Wish Bird, the Wish Bird would have contracted with him.
It was just a pity that the youth didn’t know the Wish Bird’s true Talent was bringing good luck to people. He thought the Wish Bird was a useless bird with no attack skills, so he sold it.
Because the Wish Bird could communicate with people and possessed high intelligence, generally, Fierce Beasts with high intelligence also had high Talents and Strength.
However, the Wish Bird was an exception: high Talent, low Strength.
Song Tiantian petted the Wish Bird’s wing and took out its favorite snacks from her Space. The Wish Bird flapped its wings and flew up, its spirits lifted. After finishing the Food in Song Tiantian’s hand, it immediately turned and flew away, leaving only its back to Song Tiantian before disappearing.
Song Tiantian knew the Wish Bird was secretly watching her from some corner.
The Wish Bird’s guard was extremely high.
Shen Qing had never seen the Wish Bird act so pragmatically and was somewhat stunned.
“It ate that quickly!”
“Yes, Director Shen, let’s go first! Don’t disturb its rest.”
After they left, Song Tiantian asked Shen Qing, “The current Selling Price for the Wish Bird is only fifty million. Do we need to take such good care of it?”
“It’s a Pet Beast with Gold Talent. Our Pet Beast Center only has one Gold-tier Pet Beast like this. You know, although Pet Beast prices have plummeted, the prices of Pet Beasts with Silver Talent and Gold Talent have risen instead. No matter how cheap it sells for, it’s still a Gold Talent-level one.”
“I plan to buy the Wish Bird!”
“If you can successfully contract with it, why would its value drop so drastically? It’s because no one has been able to successfully contract with it, not even Doctor Bai.”
“Doctor Bai isn’t incapable; he just doesn’t want to force a Contract. When Doctor Bai returns, I’ll tell him. My Sales Commission from these past few days should be tens of millions.”
The reason Song Tiantian didn’t buy it immediately was that if she didn’t tell Doctor Bai, and Doctor Bai encountered the Wish Bird on the way and thought it had run away, he might just capture it.
Song Tiantian also knew her actions were foolish. Money wasn’t that easy to earn.
Even if she did this, the Wish Bird might not remember her kindness.
There were countless suffering Pet Beasts in the world. If she tried to save every single one, she wouldn’t be able to.
But if she didn’t know, she could pretend it never happened.
If she knew and had the ability to help, but didn’t, Song Tiantian would feel a bit uncomfortable.
She would help where she could see it and within her capabilities.
Perhaps it was because of the Wish Bird’s Talent!
The Wish Bird, possessing such powerful Talent, had always been trapped beneath this transparent glass enclosure.
Those Pet Beasts with lower intelligence, unaware of the vastness of the world, suffered less.
Song Tiantian had specifically investigated the Wish Bird’s history.
The youth who sold the Wish Bird was from Haicheng, named Li Min. He was later favored by the daughter of a Beast Taming Grandmaster and is now a Six-star Beast Tamer, living a very fulfilling life. He has now grown into a young man.
Song Tiantian had read his autobiography; his first fortune was made by selling the Wish Bird.
He knew the Wish Bird was extraordinary but decisively chose to give it up, selling it for a high price.
He himself was very talented, playing the flute beautifully. Few flute melodies could be played with such soul-stirring emotion.
Song Tiantian didn’t know this before. She thought the tune was very nice and played it for the Wish Bird. The Wish Bird went mad upon hearing it, and only then did Song Tiantian learn about this past event.
Therefore, Song Tiantian wanted to find a new, music-loving Owner for the Wish Bird.
Unfortunately, the Wish Bird actually rejected Wang Liu Xuan, who had a good impression of it.
Wang Liu Xuan herself was also proficient in music.
“Doctor Bai is indeed powerful. There’s nothing in this world he can’t do. And Doctor Bai’s Pet Beast, White Lotus, a single lotus flower, can even speak, and it can attack and defend. This Wish Bird can’t compare to Doctor Bai’s Pet Beast. It’s normal for Doctor Bai not to want to contract with it.”
Shen Qing’s words were full of admiration for Doctor Bai, but he misunderstood Song Tiantian’s meaning.
“Actually, a Pet Beast contracting with an Owner is like marriage. If one party forces the other, a Contract can be forced. Although it can be compelled to obey, it doesn’t bring much benefit to the Beast Tamer.”
Doctor Bai simply doesn’t want to force the Wish Bird into a Contract. If the Wish Bird were willing to contract with Doctor Bai, I think Doctor Bai would choose to contract.
The Wish Bird is actually very powerful, but it’s a support-type Pet Beast, not a combat type, so many people don’t understand its true capabilities.
As a Pet Beast with Gold Talent, its Mental Power is far stronger than that of ordinary Pet Beasts. This is also why it can refuse so many people’s Contracts.
In this world, there are no useless Pet Beasts, only useless Beast Tamers.
Song Tiantian explained to Shen Qing.
Song Tiantian knew that Shen Qing had also taken Cold Fragrance Number Two and planned to contract a Pet Beast, so she was giving him some pointers.
“Then what kind of Pet Beast do you think I should contract with?”
Shen Qing knew very well that besides Doctor Bai, Song Tiantian was probably the person who had researched Pet Beasts the most at the Pet Beast Center.
He had previously taken a liking to several Pet Beasts with Silver Talent, but unfortunately, those Pet Beasts had rejected him, unwilling to contract with him, no matter how nicely he spoke.
“That depends on what type of Pet Beast you want to contract with. Contracting a Pet Beast is very similar to marriage. Many people earning three thousand a month, yet consider themselves extraordinary, believing they are Heaven’s Chosen Children. Even a popular female celebrity, they’d think she’s too old for them.
They want the looks of a female celebrity, but also purity and youthfulness, and a wealthy background. Do you think this can succeed?”
