"I'm not asking for much. As long as you can take me flying."
The desire to fly was a kind of human romance.
"But how do I fly then..." Lin Yu rubbed his chin.
"I can't let Xiaozi carry me, can I?"
"Or should I let her carry me from behind?"
"Forget it. It's more practical to let her take me by the hand and lead me to fly..."
As his thoughts wandered, he had unknowingly arrived at the supermarket.
Lin Yu went in and bought some pet beast meat, Silly Duck, Moonlight Fish, and Firework Chicken...
These low-rank pet beasts had become food for the public.
For example, as a pet beast with only one-star potential, the Silly Duck was not even as good as the Sky Blue Worm on the side of the road.
After the Sky Blue Worm turned into a butterfly, it would become a two-star aptitude one.
One-star aptitude and no-evolutionary type meant that it would be very difficult for the Silly Duck to break through to the transcendent realm.
Moreover, it was a little slow-witted and did not have much combat power even in the origin birth realm.
In the end, humans could only make the best use of the Silly Ducks and serve them to the table.
It was already dark when Lin Yu came out of the supermarket. Fortunately, his home was not far away, so Lin Yu and Xiaozi strolled back home.
Lin Yu was wearing an apron in the kitchen.
As he packed the ingredients, he shouted towards the living room, "Xiaozi, since you have nothing to do, you should continue to memorize the pet beast's attribute restraint table."
At the dinner table, Xiaozi, who was watching TV and waiting for the dishes to be served, had no choice but to put down the remote control.
She picked up Lin Yu's phone and opened the illustrated handbook.
Lin Yu had taught her how to use the phone these days.
In his words, Xiaozi was already a sensible pet beast. She had to learn to read the illustrated handbook and memorize the information by herself.
Seeing that Xiaozi was looking at it seriously, Lin Yu turned around with satisfaction and gloated about his good education.
He hummed a song as he cooked.
The dish he was making now was called stewed Firework Chicken.
The Firework Chicken was also an ornamental pet beast without any aptitude. Now, it had been developed by humans to be served on the dining table.
Lin Yu skillfully sprinkled some spices from a pet beast of the wood attribute. He had been alone since he was a child, so his cooking skills were quite exquisite.
In the living room, Xiaozi was looking at the illustrated handbook with great interest. She smelled the fragrance with enjoyment, and her fair and delicate feet wiggled around under the table.
"Here's the chicken soup."
Lin Yu served the chicken soup and looked at Xiaozi, who was studying seriously, with satisfaction like a parent.
"No stealing food, okay? Wait until I'm done."
Xiaozi's face was as cold as usual, and she didn't answer.
Lin Yu looked at the ice-cold beauty with a smile and went back to the kitchen while humming a tune.
"The next dish is braised Moonlight Fish. Well, it's my first time making it. I remember to do it this way..."
Listening to Lin Yu talking to himself in the kitchen and studying how to cook delicious food, Xiaozi quietly showed a smile.
Finally, Lin Yu finished cooking. Looking at the table full of dishes, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Let's start eating. These are the dishes I specially picked. Eat full and work hard tomorrow."
Xiaozi picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.
"Is it good?" Lin Yu looked at her expectantly.
Seeing her nod, he immediately smiled.
"Why do I feel like I am a father who is currently raising his daughter..." Lin Yu muttered inwardly while feeling happy.
Xiaozi was only one year old.
However, humans and pet beasts were of different races and could not be treated the same.
She didn't look any younger than him, and the two of them were like friends of similar age.
Xiaozi's intelligence was also very high. Except for being unable to speak, she could learn anything in a short time.
After the meal, Lin Yu lazily leaned against the sofa in high spirits.
And Xiaozi went into the kitchen and started to wash the dishes.
The original cold and quiet home now seemed to have a lot more liveliness.
"It seems that I have to advance as soon as possible. When I contract my second and third pet beast, the house will be more lively."
Lin Yu was lying on the sofa, planning for the future.
He thought he even wouldn't have to do any housework when he had more pet beasts in the future.
"I really envy those senior Beastmasters!" Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
...
Then it was the next day.
The blazing sun was like fire.
It seemed that even the sun knew that something big was going to happen today and had specially come to celebrate.
On the field, the year three students were listening to the principal's long and boring speech.
Usually, they would have been drowsy by now, but today, they were all in high spirits.
That was because today was the day of the pledge meeting.
Although the school didn't announce the details of the meeting, some people who had connections or were well-informed had already received the news.
The news that there would be a large number of rewards at the pledge meeting had also spread among the students.
"It seems like everyone came prepared."
Lin Yu stood in the crowd and looked around with interest.
After becoming a junior Beastmaster, his physique had been strengthened a long time ago. He didn't feel any discomfort even when standing under the scorching sun.
The students around him all raised their heads and puffed out their chests, full of energy.
And some were whispering to each other, quietly discussing how to show off.
He turned to the class next door and saw Ye Tian, who was standing proudly in the crowd as usual.
The people around him were either tall and mighty or had extraordinary auras, all of them with Ye Tian as their center.
And they formed a small group that seemed to be quite difficult to deal with.
There were hundreds of Grade 12 students standing in the field.
At this moment, all of them seemed to be unable to hold back and were waiting to show off their skills in front of the school leaders.
With thunderous applause, the principal's speech finally ended.
This also meant that the pledge meeting was about to begin.
Lin Yu heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling a sense of excitement.
He thought about how long it had been since he had looked forward to something so much.
It seemed to have started after he graduated and entered society in his previous life...
Now, it seemed that he had finally regained his youthful nature.
The mountain behind the school was originally known as Dilo Mountain, and it was not far away.
With the Beastmasters' speed, they arrived in ten minutes.
A group of people stood crowded at the entrance of the mountain.
There were nearly 400 Grade 12 students. Even if all of them poured in, the mountain would not be too crowded.
Although it was usually not open to students, Lin Yu had heard that the back mountain was very big.
After all, it was a place for the school to cultivate and store resources.
Moreover, in order to place resources with different attributes, it was necessary to separate the mountain into different areas.
For example, water-attribute and fire-attribute resources would definitely be placed into two areas that were further apart.
"I'll explain the rules."
A middle-aged man in his forties walked to the front. He had a square face, wore glasses, and had a stern expression.
It was the school's head of teaching, Yan Minghao.
"This mountain has a large number of various resources stored in it. Your main task after entering is to find them.
"The resources in the wild can be obtained with one's own abilities or can be fought over through battles.
"However, killing is not allowed, nor is it allowed to rob the other party of their resources.
"The school will calculate your points and rank you according to the resources you obtain and the number of opponents you have defeated.
"All the resources you can bring out will belong to you. As for the top three, there will be additional rewards."
This time, everyone listened very seriously. Finally, they heard the school personally admit that they could take the resources away.
Immediately, their eyes lit up, and even their breathing quickened.
They wondered how many resources the school had in its reserves.
"We have to bring the resources out to calculate the points? I want to just devour it." Lin Yu was a little vexed.
Devouring the resources was undoubtedly a good choice, as it could increase his strength on the spot.
"Well, let's take one step at a time."
