Chapter 4: Choosing a Pet Beast (Part 2)

Li Weiyang's Insight Eye had only been awakened for a short time, so she could only simply see the basic information of a Pet Beast.

As for things like a Pet Beast's aptitude, she could not see that at her current level.

However, what aptitude lacks, resources can make up for; furthermore, these are all Pet Beasts in the Juvenile Stage, so as long as there are sufficient resources, their aptitude can naturally be improved quite a bit.

According to the knowledge Ye Bai had learned, the current hierarchy of Pet Beasts is divided as follows.

First Rank to Ninth Rank.

Each level has ten grades.

Above the Ninth Rank there are new realms, but based on the scope of knowledge Ye Bai had currently come into contact with, he had not yet encountered them.

In his heart, a Third Rank Pet Beast was already the ceiling of combat power.

For instance, Class Teacher Zhang Lingxue was a Third Rank, Grade 8 Pet Beast Master.

If she hadn't been busy with research and wasted quite a bit of time, she would have long since become a Fourth Rank Pet Beast Master.

Li Weiyang cheekily leaned in close to Ye Bai, revealing eight neat, pearly teeth as she greeted Xiao Xueqiu.

She put on an approachable and easy-to-get-along-with appearance; this was Li Weiyang's natural-born disguise.

Unfortunately, these two Xiao Xueqiu still circled around Ye Bai, not sparing even a sliver of attention for Li Weiyang.

A look of dejection appeared on Li Weiyang's face, and she remained silent.

Her gaze fixed on Xiao Xueqiu, a sense of "so close yet so far" that felt like it was right before her eyes, yet separated by a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Ye Bai: Such a strong scent of green tea!

"Ye Bai, you can't always hog Xiao Xueqiu; you should have a spirit of great love and not block the Class Monitor from choosing a Xiao Xueqiu."

Seeing Li Weiyang's slightly dejected expression, a righteous person (a sycophant) immediately stepped forward to accuse Ye Bai and stand up for Li Weiyang.

Just like Xiao Xueqiu, Ye Bai didn't spare a single glance for the sycophant, which made the sycophant He Qingyuan lose face.

"Fine, Ye Bai, are you even looking down on your fellow classmates now?"

"Have you gotten arrogant? Too good to talk to me?"

Hearing He Qingyuan nagging on and on, the surrounding classmates all frowned.

At this moment, He Qingyuan straightened his back and pointed very proudly at his own Pet Beast, the Boxing Rabbit.

"See that? This is the Boxing Rabbit I carefully selected; he's a fine lad."

"Boxing Rabbit, stand up and greet the classmates!"

The Boxing Rabbit, as the name implies, is a big fat rabbit, half a meter tall, with big red eyes and an ugly bucktooth on its three-lobed mouth.

Its hands look like boxing gloves when it clenches its fists, which is why it is called a Boxing Rabbit.

The Boxing Rabbit's temper is not very good; it is irritable and easily agitated, especially when it gets red-eyed, at which point it will disregard the Pet Beast Master's commands and crazily attack its opponent.

They like to bully the weak and fear the strong; when they encounter a Pet Beast weaker than themselves, they will mock them wantonly, but when they encounter a Pet Beast stronger than themselves, they don't even dare to let out a fart.

Therefore, this guy is also known as the Hoodlum Rabbit.

However, because He Qingyuan had only recently contracted the Boxing Rabbit, it was not yet familiar with him and naturally would not be willing to follow He Qingyuan's commands.

The Boxing Rabbit let out a huge yawn, flopped directly onto the ground, and scratched its butt with its hand, looking completely uninterested.

This scene fell into the eyes of the many classmates, and He Qingyuan was so ashamed that his face turned bright red instantly, not knowing if it was from anger or embarrassment.

Afterwards, he remembered the Ruby Carrot he had bought with three months of his allowance.

The Ruby Carrot is a special ingredient and also a resource for cultivating Pet Beasts.

It is rich in various trace elements and nutrients, full of juice, and tastes sweet.

Xiao Xueqiu's nose is made of Ruby Carrot and is a renewable resource.

Seeing He Qingyuan take out the Ruby Carrot, the Boxing Rabbit was no longer sleepy; it scrambled up from the ground in a flash and greedily snatched the Ruby Carrot from He Qingyuan's hand.

The Ruby Carrot was only as thick as a thumb and about two centimeters long, looking like a brilliant gemstone.

The Boxing Rabbit opened its mouth and crunched the Ruby Carrot down.

A rich, fresh fragrance spread out, and the onlookers were instantly invigorated.

After finishing the carrot in two or three bites, the Boxing Rabbit still looked like it wanted more.

It revealed an expression that said, "You're very sensible, I'm very satisfied," and clenched its paws, making a *crack, crack, crack* sound.

The Boxing Rabbit's legs sprang off the ground, and it swung its fists, hitting a decorative stone on the ground heavily.

With a *crack*, the stone immediately shattered into several pieces.

Just as He Qingyuan was smugly enjoying the admiring gazes of others, Ye Bai finally reacted.

"What's wrong, Ye Bai? You're scared, aren't you? Hurry up and apologize to classmate Li Weiyang, or I don't know if your head is harder than that stone just now," He Qingyuan said haughtily.

Ye Bai's face twitched; he had seen people courting death, but never anyone courting death like this.

Ye Bai looked at Li Weiyang, who was subtly revealing an expression of schadenfreude.

To be honest, Li Weiyang had never liked Ye Bai's aloof demeanor, and she wanted to take this opportunity to test Ye Bai's depth.

She had always been quite wary of Ye Bai, not knowing if it was because of the "Academic God Aura" blessing Ye Bai.

Ye Bai shouted loudly to the staff member nearby: "Hello, teacher, he destroyed the flowers and plants of the Secret Realm; he should be punished."

Li Weiyang.

He Qingyuan.

All the classmates present.

Ye Bai, you really are the most impressive.

The staff member remembered that there was indeed such a clause in the Secret Realm rules, and he nodded: "Student, you destroyed public property in the Secret Realm; according to the rules, you need to be fined ten times the amount."

After asking for He Qingyuan's name, the staff member issued the first fine.

He Qingyuan's face was as black as ink.

He had a phrase in his heart that he didn't know whether he should say or not.

Just then, a black shadow darted out from the side, slamming like a cannonball into the Boxing Rabbit not far from He Qingyuan.

The Boxing Rabbit only felt a massive force strike, and its body flew backward involuntarily.

With a splash, it landed in the fountain nearby.

"Boxing Rabbit!"

He Qingyuan exclaimed, and only then did the crowd notice that the black shadow was actually a jade-white Baibian Can.

Its body was slightly larger than an average Baibian Can, and it was currently fleeing in a panic.

It hopped along, moving extremely fast.

Behind it, a group of staff members holding capture nets shouted at the Baibian Can, "Don't run, Baibian Can."

Suddenly, the ground split open, and a Steel-Drill Gopher with a steel drill on its nose appeared, staring at the Baibian Can with a fierce expression.

The Baibian Can shuddered, and as it looked in other directions, some Pet Beasts were already blocking its path, rubbing their paws and fists.

With nowhere left to run, the Baibian Can shifted its gaze and landed on Ye Bai.

Its eyes rolled, and the way it looked at Ye Bai was as if it were looking at a big piece of fatty meat.

The Baibian Can jumped directly onto Ye Bai's hand, and Ye Bai felt as if a twenty-pound "pig" had landed on his hand.

Xiao Xueqiu was startled and transformed into countless snowflakes, flying away.

Ye Bai saw that this Baibian Can appeared silly on the surface, but in reality, a glimmer of sharpness flashed in its eyes.

The light of the sun crystal fell onto the Baibian Can's jade-white body, and Ye Bai saw a flash of light pass through the center of the Baibian Can's brow.

Combining this with the information provided by his Information System, Ye Bai immediately understood that this guy was not a Baibian Can, but the much rarer Thousand-Change Silkworm.

Ye Bai had once looked up literature; the Thousand-Change Silkworm was very similar to the Baibian Can, but the Thousand-Change Silkworm was much rarer.

Out of a million Baibian Can, one would not even see a single Thousand-Change Silkworm appear.

The insect silk it spat out was extremely smooth and could be woven into fine silk fabric.

According to the prompt from the Information System, the insect silk of the Thousand-Change Silkworm was known for the saying: an ounce of silk for an ounce of gold.

It was just that very few people knew about it.

Owning a Thousand-Change Silkworm was equivalent to having a hen that laid golden eggs.

In Ye Bai's eyes, it was no longer a Thousand-Change Silkworm, but a code to sudden wealth.

A white light appeared at the brow of the panicked Thousand-Change Silkworm; it wanted to sign a contract with Ye Bai.

At this moment, the lead staff member stepped out: "Sorry, student, could you hand over the Baibian Can in your hand for us to take away?"

"This guy popped out of nowhere; it is not a Pet Beast bred in the Secret Realm and possesses danger and uncontrollability."

"You have just awakened your talent; signing a contract with this kind of Pet Beast carries great risk."

"Moreover, its personality is very fierce, and it always likes to snatch food from other Pet Beasts in the Secret Realm."

"It has caused other Pet Beasts to complain incessantly, and we could bear it no longer, so we set a trap to capture it, but we didn't expect it to see through our trap and escape here."

This time, the staff had set up a Net-Catching to capture it and expel it from the Secret Realm.

It was just that their mission failed before it even started, and this dangerous Baibian Can had fallen into the hands of a student who had come to sign a contract.

The lead staff member explained patiently, and even Li Weiyang stepped out to persuade Ye Bai to hand over the Baibian Can in his hand.

Although she looked down on Ye Bai, they were classmates after all, and she sometimes used him as a shield to make many people back off.

Ye Bai's awakened talent was not good, but Li Weiyang felt that Ye Bai was not someone to be trifled with; if she hadn't really wanted the Xiao Xueqiu in Ye Bai's hand this time, she wouldn't have signaled her sycophants to offend Ye Bai.

Regarding boundaries, Li Weiyang had a red line: she would firmly avoid offending people she didn't need to offend.

"No need, I just happen to not have a Pet Beast, so this one will do."

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Ye Bai bit his finger and pointed it fiercely at the center of the Thousand-Change Silkworm's brow.

The white light burst open instantly, enveloping Ye Bai and the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

The blood outlined a Weird rune on the Thousand-Change Silkworm's brow, and a faint, intangible connection formed between Ye Bai and the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

A brilliant bead also appeared in the slot of Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space.

Hungry, hungry, hungry.

Ye Bai could feel waves of hunger coming from the Thousand-Change Silkworm's heart, that feeling of burning and gnawing at the heart and lungs.
