Chapter 344 - 196: Parting Comes Eventually (Part 2)
"Quack quack quack!"
Run Run Duck’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
The farm owner owes me two Spirit Fish!
A moment later,
Four Wood Spirit Rats sat at the table, staring at the plate of fried Spirit Fish.
The Wood Spirit Rat family was clearly very cautious, carefully watching two little fellows devouring heartily, but they were slow to extend their paws.
"Dian Dian~"
Electric Flying Cat casually waved its paw, signaling the Wood Spirit Rats not to hold back.
The Wood Spirit Rats looked at each other, still frozen in place.
Two small Wood Spirit Rats cautiously extended their paws, but a big Wood Spirit Rat glared at them, so they pulled their paws back.
"Quack quack!"
Run Run Duck grabbed some fish meat and tossed it right in front of them.
But they still didn’t eat.
"Quack?"
Run Run Duck scratched its head, very confused.
How could any Pet Beast refuse delicious Spirit Fish?
Could it be that the fried Spirit Fish I made isn’t tasty?
"Squeak squeak....."
The biggest Wood Spirit Rat shook its head, indicating that eating without contributing was not right.
"Quack quack?"
Run Run Duck widened its eyes, full of disbelief.
Is eating without contributing wrong?
"Dian Dian."
Electric Flying Cat’s eyes shifted, then pointed to the kitchen.
After eating, you can help with cleaning.
"Squeak."
The biggest Wood Spirit Rat nodded, the two little ones revealed joy, quickly extending their paws to stuff fish meat into their mouths.
"Squeak squeak squeak~"
...
Chen Weiyi got up in the night, bypassed the Cold-Biting Ox sleeping soundly on the floor, opened the door, and walked towards the restroom.
The kitchen lights were bright, and sounds of rustling came, making Chen Weiyi furrow his brow.
Has a thief entered the house?
But what kind of thief goes to the kitchen?
As he became more awake, Chen Weiyi quickly remembered Run Run Duck’s fondness for midnight snacks and relaxed.
Changing direction, he walked towards the kitchen but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Two Wood Spirit Rats were standing on the stove, one controlling the faucet, the other holding a basin stained with grease, working together to quickly clean the basin.
Two small Wood Spirit Rats also had tasks, one sweeping the garbage in the kitchen and hall with its fluffy tail, the other clutching a towel, waiting for the garbage to be swept away to quickly clean the floor.
Is this a cleaning squad?
Arriving at the hall, Chen Weiyi saw Run Run Duck and Electric Flying Cat lying on the sofa, staring intently at the TV in front, falling silent for a moment.
His farm was becoming increasingly unfamiliar.
...
As night deepened, the noise in the depths of Qinling faded away, only the chilly evening wind gently brushing against the ridge.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha, I’ve succeeded!"
An excited voice broke the silence of the night, the group chatting by the campfires stopped talking, all turning to look — Zhang Yu, with a flushed face, burst out of the tent, jumping with excitement on the spot.
Professor Song furrowed his brow: "Was he attacked by a Dark-type Pet Beast?"
Both Dark-type Pet Beasts and Spirit-type Pet Beasts have similar attack methods, capable of controlling and influencing opponents through Mental Power, even making them act in astonishing ways.
Tricking other creatures is also something Dark-type Pet Beasts love to do.
Under the watchful eyes, Zhang Yu rushed in front of Chen Wenhao, reaching out and shaking the latter vigorously: "Senior brother, I succeeded!"
Chen Wenhao took a silent step back, and everyone’s vigilance increased.
"Hahaha, I’ve finally become a Beastmaster!"
As these words echoed, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a successful meditation.
Is it really that worth celebrating?
Among those present, all were geniuses who succeeded in meditation on their first try, unable to fully understand Zhang Yu’s current excitement.
Yet Chen Wenhao sincerely felt happy for Zhang Yu, speaking up: "Junior brother, you can now provide more support in academic research."
Zhang Yu: "Uh... senior brother, let’s not bring that up in such a joyful moment."
Witnessing the interaction between the brothers, Professor Song cast a stern glance at Zhang Yu, reproachfully: "If only you were like your senior brother, focusing all your energy on academic research."
Zhang Yu murmured: "I do focus, but..."
Professor Song replied irritably: "But it’s all on Spirit Plant research, right?"
Zhang Yu scratched his head: "Hehe."
Chen Yuan timely shifted the topic: "Since you’ve become a Beastmaster, it’s time to contract a Pet Beast."
"Do you have a preferred Pet Beast?"
Zhang Yu’s eyes lit up, replying without hesitation: "Of course, I want to contract a cat girl who can take care of my daily needs....."
Bam!
Professor Song smacked Zhang Yu’s head, glaring: "Speak properly."
Zhang Yu cleared his throat, seriously: "Of course, I’ll contract a mighty and powerful Pet Beast."
"Snort snort~"
Suddenly, smelling Zhang Yu’s scent, Hanhan Pig trotted over.
Zhang Yu wanted to lift Hanhan Pig to celebrate becoming a Beastmaster but, upon discovering its weight, silently released his grip.
Someone teased: "There’s a ready Pet Beast to contract right here, isn’t there?"
Zhang Yu decisively shook his head: "Though Hanhan Pig is wonderful, it’s not suitable for me; I want something mighty..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Yu noticed Hanhan Pig looking at him expectantly with a hint of grievance in its eyes.
He closed his mouth.
Chen Yuan suddenly spoke: "I have a friend surnamed Zhang, who initially wanted to contract a mighty Pet Beast just like you."
"And then?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Then, he contracted a Gray-armored Wild Boar and became a dashing Piggy Knight," Chen Yuan’s lips curved slightly.
Zhang Yu: "..."
He bowed his head, locking eyes with Hanhan Pig, both falling silent, their big and small eyes fixed on each other.
The night grew deeper, people returned to their tents to sleep, and Chen Yuan entered a state of meditation.
