Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-195

Chapter 195: Take Action

Blue and White County was still very popular because of the Blue and White Valley, but most people could not enter it. This place only opened a thousand spots every year.

Of course, these thousands of spots referred to the places where they could pick a pet at will in the canyon.

As an advanced cultivation house, it naturally sold many pets every year.

After looking for a flying mount, they passed through the continuous residential areas, and saw a huge canyon in the distance. The huge transparent shield on the canyon emitted a slight blue light.

“It’s huge!” Chen Rouxue exclaimed.

“Yeah, it’s so big. It can hold a lot of things inside.” Li Xing also nodded.

“Come on. Let’s go down.” The flying mount flew down and everyone got off its back.

This high-level cultivation house, which was affiliated to the Trainer Association, was called the Blue and White Cultivation House. It specialized in pet incubation and cultivation.

It was different from the Blue Moon Cultivation House, which sold medicines and gave consultations about pet cultivation.

Although they were all called cultivation houses, their main directions differed. In fact, the Blue and White Cultivation houses were better called breeding houses.

The breeding house was very large, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters. The cages on the shelves contained various juvenile monsters or spirits. They either lay down and slept in docile manners or gnawed their cages fiercely.

All of their spiritual powers had been locked, so there was no danger even up close.

There was also an endless stream of people buying pets. As soon as Su Bai and the others came in, a female shopping guide in a uniform came over and asked with a smile, “Young masters, young mistresses, what pets do you want to choose?”

“We have to go to the Blue and White Valley. This is the tag; please find your manager,” Tang Long took out a special tag and said.

“Okay, please follow me here.”

The female shopping guide’s face became more respectful and gentle upon seeing this tag, and she led them forward.

They bypassed the mall from the side and quickly went down to the Blue and White Valley.

“Are you the champions of the National League Tournament this time? Please show us the tag.” A female manager wearing a black uniform looked at them with a professional smile.

Su Bai and the others handed over the tag. After the female manager confirmed it with a special device, she nodded and said, “According to the regulations, only the five of you can enter the valley.”

“I know. We just came along with them, but we won’t go in,” said Tang Long.

After speaking, he looked at Su Bai and the others. “We, adults, will walk around the cultivation house and wait for you at the entrance.”

The five teens nodded and walked in with the female manager.

“Here are five maps. Please tell me your desired location, and I will take you there. It’s up to you on what pet you end up with,” the female manager climbed up a White Jade Crane and said.

This White Jade Crane was white all over, and its whole body was made of white jade, just that it was alive.

The square platform on its back carried tables, chairs, and benches carved with white jade. It had pavilion railings, too.

No one knew. though, if they had been installed or carved.

The five walked forward, took the maps from the female manager, and checked each carefully.

The entire Blue and White Valley was divided into eleven regions according to different attributes. There were different communities under each region, which were arranged in a very orderly manner.

“I’m in no hurry. The four of you can choose according to your own wishes,” Su Bai said.

“I’m not in a hurry, either.” Chen Ruoxue shook her head.

“Then I’ll choose first. I want to go to the area where the dark monster is located,” Wang Er said.

“Okay, then.” The female manager nodded and directed the White Jade Crane to take off.

It was her job to receive people into the Blue and White Valley.

“Are all the monsters and spirits in this valley young ones?” Su Bai looked at the canyon below and asked curiously.

“No, those beyond the servant level will be caught and thrown into the eleventh area on the map. Defective products and strange species are thrown away,” the female manager shook her head and said.

Since the White Jade Cranes were invisible when they flew, these monsters could not find them, so it was more conducive when checking each monster’s situation.

The area where the dark pets lived was relatively dark. After the crane flew over, there was no monster on the ground.

“Take a good look; I’ll catch whichever you want.”

After the female manager finished speaking, she threw a bunch of dark spirit crystals down…

A few moments passed, and some fast-moving shadows could be seen snatching the spirit crystals.

With their eyesights, they could see clearly.

An excellent Pet Tamer could judge whether the pet was good or bad through the fighting of monsters.

Su Bai took a good look and saw that these monsters were very good. Their potentials were above the standards, and many were extremely powerful.

For example, the Black Demon Ape carrying a big rock stick. It was a four-armed demon ape with the blood of immense magic. Its strength was terrifying and its upper limit was also high.

There were also very rare monsters below, such as Night Soul Tiger, Dark Praying Mantis, and Black Lotus Demon Eater.

However, he was a little indifferent to these pets.

Since they could survive in this canyon full of powerful monsters and survived the elimination process of the laws of nature, though, they should naturally be of excellent breeds.

“I want the Nine-headed Bat that just flew away.” When the spirit crystals were almost gobbled up, Wang Er suddenly spoke.

“Okay.” The female manager immediately directed the White Jade Crane to send out a hypnotic lightwave.

The commander crane easily hypnotized the bat and it fell.

A spiritual force grabbed and threw it to the ground.

This monster looked terrifying. It looked like a bat but also had a long purple scorpion tail, eight contractible spider legs on its abdomen, and nine heads.

Looking at its attributes, Su Bai knew that this was a good assassin.

“Good choice. It’s definitely one of the strongest shadow assassins.” The female manager complimented.

Wang Er directly took out his contract book and contracted it before he kept it inside.

The female manager was about to leave, but Zhao Li suddenly spoke and asked for a Dark Thorn Demon.

The female manager nodded, hypnotized the demon unhurriedly, and grabbed it.

Zhao Li looked at it and asked with a smile, “Su Bai, what do you think of this guy?”

“Not bad. It looks to have the cluster characteristic. It’s very suitable for group fights,” he said.

The cluster feature enabled the pet to replicate itself, which was a relatively rare trait of plant monsters.

“You have a good eye. Are you a trainer?” The female manager glanced at him in surprise.

“Haha. I was lucky enough to become a junior trainer.” Su Bai laughed.

“Impressive. No wonder you’re the champion.” The female manager nodded and looked at him with some admiration.

Next came Qian Shan. He thought for a while and said, “I’m going to the mine area.”

He did not choose the light and dark attributes, which were difficult to cultivate because they cost too much and some materials were simply hard to buy.

In the end, his choice was a Thunder-swallowing Slime with a thunder-spirit dual attribute.

“Next, it’s your two’s turn. Where are you going?” The female manager looked at the couple.

“I want a healing pet, so I want to go to the wood area.”

“I want to go to the eleventh district. If there is nothing I want, I won’t choose it for the time being,” said Su Bai.

He had no shortage of pets right now. If he could not see what he really wanted, he really would not choose any. He could still sell this spot at a high price.

“Alright, here is closer to the eleventh district, so let’s go there first, but that district is more dangerous. Everyone, pay attention to your safety.” The female manager nodded.

The deepest part of the Blue and White Valley outside the eleventh area was also the area with the largest range. There were all kinds of monsters inside, and it could be regarded as a defective toll station.

After coming in, the female manager dropped all the spirit crystals with different attributes along the way.

Everyone then saw a scene which was completely different from other districts. The fight for food in the eleventh district was too bloody.

There were too many monsters here, and it was densely packed, with their attributes being chaotic. Although they were very fierce, they did not seem to be worthy of being contracted.

“Most of the monsters that can’t survive are all killed. Otherwise, there would be more here. Too many monsters fail the research every month. This is a large garbage dump, and there are no good monsters here,” the female manager also said bluntly.

Su Bai did not reply to her and just looked around curiously. He checked the data whenever he found it necessary.

After a round, he completely lost interest. These trainers were inhumane; they threw all the lowest grade rubbish here, and there was really no way of getting a bargain.

“Let’s go to the wood area to pick a pet, then we can leave. I won’t pick any.”

He shrugged. This was good, since the cub could not say he was a fickle.

“You really don’t want to choose one? Although there’s no space dragon or some super rare pets here, there are still a lot of other pets.” The female manager looked at him.

She had her motives for trying to persuade him otherwise. On one hand, Su Bai’s handsome appearance gave her a good impression, and on the other hand, it would be troublesome if he regretted it and decided to come back again.

“Forget it. There’s still a gap between these monsters and my expectations.” Su Bai shook his head.

He had already decided to sell this tag for money.

As for his pets, he thought about waiting for his strength to rise to the next level first. He then would go to the Kraken’s nest in the Construct Reservoir’s space crack and find a good Kraken to contract.

In the end, he was still disappointed with the Alliance’s advanced cultivation house. To ordinary teenagers, the pets in this place were definitely okay, but to someone like him who possessed outstanding pets, this place was dull.

He even had Krakens at his home.

There was no other choice; his appetite had been too nourished, and he could not eat plain tea and simple gruel anymore.

When they arrived in the area holding wood attribute monsters, the female manager tossed the spirit crystals anew.

“Help me choose and see if there are any good ones,” Chen Ruoxue asked him.

“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to help you pick one.” Su Bai nodded as he promised.

Upon hearing this, she simply stopped looking and gave her boyfriend the full authority of selecting the monster she should contract.

Time passed bit by bit, and half an hour had been spent as they made a full turn around the area, but Su Bai had yet to speak.

“Hubby, what are you doing?” She nudged him.

“No, the quality of the monsters here is inferior. Not one of them is close to my Purple Jade.” He spread his hands and explained.

Chen Rouxue: “…”

Zhao Li and the others: “…”

“I don’t agree with what you said. The monsters and spirits here are definitely the best in the entire Alliance. You’re too arrogant.” The female manager argued unhappily and felt that the boy was talking big.

“My Purple Jade’s potential score is 95. It has a dual attribute and is now a high-level commander with a Thorns Domain the diameter of more than five hundred meters. Is there a pet here that can match it?”

Su Bai glanced at the woman.

“There’s none… but are you telling the truth?” The female manager was surprised. If that was the case, the pets here were really no match for it. There were only monsters and spirits with potential ratings below 85 and upward of 60 here.

“Of course, you can go and watch the championship battle of the National League Tournament. He used that pet in the game.” Zhao Li chimed in.

“I suggest that you sell this tag, too. In a few days, I’ll take you for a stroll to a good place, where you’ll definitely get a wood pet that can please you.”

He pulled Chen Ruoxue along.

“Really?” She was a little surprised. It was not that she did not believe in him; she was just surprised to hear of a place that she did not know about.

“Of course!” Su Bai laughed.

There were a few thousand Krakens in the Kraken’s nest, and it was impossible for him to contract all of them, so it was perfectly fine to give one to his girlfriend.

“Okay, then. I won’t choose any pet here. Let’s go out.” Chen Ruoxue nodded, giving full trust to him.

After leaving the Blue and White Valley, the five people quickly went to the entrance of the cultivation house.

Tang Long, Li Xing, and the others were already waiting there.

“Have you all chosen your pets?” Li Xing rushed to them from a distance and immediately inquired.

“The three of us did but not these two. They think that the quality of the pets here isn’t good enough.” Zhao Li shrugged.

“Yes, for Sister Ruoxue who has a dragon, and Su Bai who has a Purgatory Fire Thief and Limitless Beauty, other pets appear too ordinary.” Li Hai laughed.

“Then are you going to sell that tag? I have a channel to sell it,” asked Tang Long as he walked abreast with them.

“How much can it be sold for?” Chen Ruoxue asked.

“One hundred million or two hundred million at most,” Tang Long said.

“That’s all right. Please help us deal with it.” Su Bai nodded. He had asked Zhou Ling’an, and the girl said that she would pay a hundred million at most.

This kind of tag was not valuable in the upper class, and it was mainly sold to people who had some money but were not that important.

After speaking, he threw the tag with two spots left to Tang Long.

“Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to sell it at a good price. I don’t need any handling fee,” said the director with a smile.

“Thanks a lot.” He nodded.

“Let’s go. There’s one last flying ride. We can rush back to Cannes today. I already booked a banquet, so let’s have a good celebration in the evening.” Tang Long smiled.

They rode the flying mount to the airport and reached Cannes in two hours’ time.

There was no way to skip the evening banquet.

At the banquet, Tang Long opened a bottle of red wine and asked everyone for a toast.

Chen Ruoxue was not good at drinking, but after everyone’s strong request, she had to drink a little.

After a drink, she leaned on the bench to rest.

“Wow, Sister Ruoxue really can’t drink alcohol? Is she drunk already?” Li Xing was a little surprised.

Tang Long and the others also thought that Chen Ruoxue had only been trying to excuse herself from drinking. The physique of a Pet Tamer should be no problem in terms of alcohol consumption.

“She’s a lightweight,” Su Bai said, “but it’s okay. Just let her sleep for a while.”

He understood that his girlfriend felt at ease because she knew that he was by her side.

“Oh, then we’ve put her on the spot.” Tang Long apologized.

“It’s okay. Let’s just continue.” He merely shook his head.

Everyone toasted and refilled their cups again. They understood that, after this separation, it would be difficult to get together again. They all felt quite sad.

They targeted Su Bai frequently, but it was hard to get him drunk.

Soon after, the banquet ended, and he prepared to go home with Chen Ruoxue on his back. Strangely, although she was a Pet Tamer, she had little resistance to alcohol.

“Be careful on your way back.” Li Xing and the others waved.

“Thanks. Bye.”

He waved his hand and took Chen Ruoxue back to Carp Town.

On the Azure Dragon Mound, he looked at Chen Ruoxue, who was lying in bed with a flushed face, and rubbed his hands excitedly.

“Su… Bai, what do you want to do?” Chen Ruoxue seemed to be a little awake and dizzy.

“I’ll give you a bath,” he answered naturally. “You smell of rice.”

“Help me undress; I’ll wash myself. Don’t touch me at will, or I’ll… bite you to death.”

Chen Ruoxue quickly sat up. She was almost awake now thanks to the physique of a Pet Tamer.

“Bite me to death? If you bite me, then I might really die.” Su Bai laughed while undressing her.

“I-I’ll… bite you to death.” She glared at him with unfocused eyes and staggered into the bathroom.

After a while, she went out wet and fell on the bed.

Su Bai wanted to dress her, but she did not cooperate and kept clinging onto the quilt.

“I can’t be blamed; you refused to put on clothes.”

He shrugged and went to take a shower.

After coming out of the shower, he had just climbed onto the bed when Chen Ruoxue, who was still in a daze, hugged him like a pillow.

Su Bai turned stiff. My love, you aren’t wearing any clothes. Are you trying to torture me to death?

This felt even more uncomfortable than being beaten to death. In the end, he released the Mewling Fox and let it give himself a hypnotism.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Chen Ruoxue woke up in a daze. As her perception became clearer and clearer, she grew sober. She looked down at her body and her face turned red instantly.

No way…

Although she would give it to him sooner or later, she did not want to do it while unconscious.

“Hing,” called the Mewling Fox.

Already fluent in fox language, she quickly understood that Su Bai had done nothing and had hypnotized himself to sleep.

Su Bai also woke up at this time. He kept the fox and looked at Chen Ruoxue next to him.

“Are you finally awake? You should stop drinking next time. It’s relaxing for you to fall asleep, but I was uncomfortable all night.”

“Isn’t it all because I trust you? If it’s a big deal, I’ll compensate you.” She pouted.

“How so?” He batted his eyelashes.

“I’ll take action and help you adjust the balance of your yin and yang…” Chen Ruoxue blushed and whispered.

“Oh~ Take action. Hurry up~”

At this moment, Su Bai felt like he was about to fly.
