Lin Yu asked Xiaozi to step aside and then went forward to open the door halfway.
A faint fragrance assailed his nose.
It was a girl who was about the same age as him.
She was wearing a white dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her skin as white as snow, and her facial features beautiful.
She was dressed simply yet looked extremely elegant, and her eyes were as bright as gems.
"An Yuan?"
Lin Yu recalled her identity.
She and her mother had just moved here a few years ago, and they lived right opposite him.
Lin Yu didn't know their background and didn't have the time to care.
Usually, they would greet each other when they met, but other than that, they didn't have any further understanding.
"Lin Yu, I hope I didn't disturb you so late at night." An Yuan's voice was as gentle as water.
"No, it's nothing." Lin Yu shook his head. "I'm not sleeping anyway. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Here's the thing." She smiled and said, "You haven't contracted any pet beasts, have you? My mother just got a new batch of pet beasts today, and many of them are at the origin birth realm. I'm here to ask if you want to try contracting one."
A pet beast that came to his door?
Was there such a good thing?
Lin Yu was stunned.
"But I've already contracted one. Just tonight," he said, embarrassed.
"No wonder I saw that you just got home." An Yuan revealed an expression of sudden realization.
"Thank you for your kind intentions. I appreciate it."
"It's fine. You can come to me again after you become an intermediate Beastmaster."
"Yeah, okay."
"Then I'll take my leave first." The girl waved at Lin Yu.
After watching An Yuan go home, Lin Yu also closed the door.
To be honest, he was no longer interested in ordinary pet beasts.
Ever since he had contracted the Fallen Angel, he had to admit that he had become very picky.
The Collection Book of the God of Devouring in his mind still had countless pet beast eggs, which must be of a high level.
Who knew what else would be hatched?
However, the book turned gray after Xiaozi hatched as if it was locked.
Lin Yu guessed that it would only be unlocked after certain conditions were met.
For example, when he advanced to an intermediate Beastmaster.
"But it's strange. What does An Yuan's mother do?" Lin Yu was puzzled.
He remembered An Yuan's words, "a batch of", which meant that there were quite a number of pet beasts.
"Don't tell me she is running a breeding house."
He knew very little about the two neighbors. He only remembered that An Yuan's mother was a mature, generous, and polite young woman.
He shook his head. He had to go to school tomorrow, so he should go to bed early.
...
Then it was the next day.
After Lin Yu was woken up by the alarm clock, he changed his clothes, washed up, and went out.
This was his first day of school in the other world, and he felt that it was very fresh.
He hailed a cab and headed to the school.
"So this is an intelligent mechanical car? How magical."
Lin Yu sat in the driver's seat. After typing his destination, he leaned back comfortably in the leather seat.
Everything in the world could be a pet beast. Other than beasts, plants, elements, and so on, there were also man-made mechanical pet beasts.
Intelligent mechanical cars were a type of mechanical pet beast that belonged to The Beastmaster Association.
They were equipped with the lowest level of artificial intelligence and were scattered throughout the city.
Beastmasters who didn't have a pet beast to carry them could choose to take a cab. The car would automatically drive them to their destination.
When Lin Yu arrived at the classroom, the teacher had not yet arrived.
The students gathered in twos and threes and chatted about the interesting things that happened during the weekend.
"Lin Yu!"
A familiar voice sounded.
Lin Yu followed the sound and saw the few people who had gone on an adventure with him last night.
The one who greeted him was the girl who had contracted Bright Light Catkin, Xu Ruoyu.
"What are you guys talking about?" Lin Yu walked to their side.
After last night's incident, the relationship between the few of them had become closer.
"You know Ye Tian, right? The guy who contracted the Two-headed Windbreaker Wolf from the class next door," fatty Li Yong said.
Lin Yu nodded. He knew that person. Rumor had it that Ye Tian's pet beast gained four racial skills as soon as it was hatched, which were very popular.
And he also didn't disappoint, sweeping all the way over, suppressing his peers so much that they almost couldn't hold on.
Moreover, Ye Tian's name also sounded domineering, like the main character of a novel.
"When compared in this way, my name has no characteristics."
Lin Yu muttered in his heart.
"I heard that Ye Tian had a fight with our monitor yesterday." Li Yong gossiped.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Lin Yu was interested.
"Because he's jealous."
"You mean Ye Tian takes a fancy to our monitor's girlfriend?" Lin Yu understood, and a scene of Ye Tian bullying others had already appeared in his mind.
"No. It's that his girlfriend takes a fancy to Ye Tian..."
Lin Yu was speechless.
He felt that these things were simply beyond his imagination.
"And that's not the point. The point is, our monitor could only take three moves from Ye Tian," Li Yong said excitedly.
Lin Yu was stunned.
The monitor seemed to be one of the top students in the class. How could he be that weak?
"The news has also spread. Everyone thinks that Ye Tian is unrivaled in our grade."
"And the people in their class now even walk with a smug look on their faces."
Li Yong was indignant.
"Even the teachers are optimistic about him. He's handsome and capable. How can there be such a perfect person?" Xu Ruoyu bit her lips.
"Indeed, women always bring trouble..." Lin Yu looked as if he had seen through life.
All he wanted to do now was to cultivate Xiaozi, letting her devour every day to grow steadily.
One day, he would become a grand Beastmaster.
After that, he might be able to do what he had read in the novels of his previous life. He would be able to dominate all the famous universities.
"By the way, Lin Yu, what is your contracted pet beast?" Xu Ruoyu asked curiously.
They were very curious last night, but Lin Yu said he wanted to keep it a secret and refused to disclose it.
"Don't worry. You'll see. I want to give you guys a surprise," Lin Yu said calmly.
"Don't tell me you contracted a trashy pet beast with no potential." Li Yong wanted to goad him into action.
"I might be able to fight Ye Tian to a draw," Lin Yu said, unmoved.
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this.
They had guessed that Lin Yu's contracted pet beast was not weak, but they did not expect him to be so confident.
"Do you know what realm Ye Tian's Two-headed Windbreaker Wolf is at?"
"Stage seven of the origin birth realm!"
"His family is rich, and they provided him with a lot of cultivation resources."
"That pet beast has the top-notch aptitude, and he is talented in taming beasts."
"Do you still think that you can fight to a draw with him?" Xu Ruoyu blinked her eyes.
Lin Yu was too confident.
So they were afraid that he would impulsively challenge Ye Tian and be humiliated.
The group of people persuaded him earnestly.
Lin Yu smiled. That was already a conservative estimate.
The other party's advantage was that his pet beast's realm was high, and its attribute wasn't an attribute that could be countered by Henchman of the Underworld God.
However, he knew how powerful Xiaozi's skills were.
At the very least, it would not be easy for one to defeat Xiaozi at the origin birth realm.
That was why he said he could fight to a draw.
If they were in the same realm, with the two-headed wolf's aptitude, he wouldn't even take it seriously.
"The teacher is here!" someone shouted.
And everyone ran back to their seats.
Looking at the suddenly silent classroom, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that this was the same no matter which world he was in.
The class teacher, Ye Wenqian, pushed the door open and entered the classroom.
She was wearing a short black skirt suit, with her fair straight thighs exposed to the air, outlining her attractive curves.
She had a professional smile on her face.
"We won't have classes today."
