Sprites?
Lin Yu nodded. He had been reading up on humanoid pets in the illustrated handbook recently.
There were dragonesses, sprites, trolls, orcs, and many others.
Every sprite pet beast was either handsome or beautiful, but they seemed to be rare in Yanhuang. There were more overseas.
"You're quite the dreamer," An Xingwan smiled, "I don't know much about the mechanic attribute pet beasts, but there are all kinds of pets and quality grades. If you want a pet that you're satisfied with, you'll need some financial support. Sprites and dragons are rare pets. They're not easy to get."
"Then what do you have at home? Auntie, you must have a lot of pets, right? " Lin Yu asked.
An Yuan almost spurted out her drink.
An Xingwan was still smiling, "Dark, necromancy, and spirit attribute pet beasts. If you're interested, I do have quite a few of them."
Lin Yu was stunned.
Well, wasn't this a great coincidence?
Xiaozi happened to be of dark and necromancy attributes. Therefore, he wanted to have a second pet that was of another attribute so that the team could be more well-rounded.
"Hmm... I also have dragon attribute pet beasts, though they are a little different from ordinary dragons," An Xingwan said after some thought.
"Even the dragon attribute?" Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
The illustrator's handbook was still an uncertain factor, so it was good to have a backup plan.
"Pets of the dragon attribute are naturally powerful," An Xingwan said slowly, "Even sub-dragons are extraordinary. Without money and opportunity, it's usually very hard to obtain such a pet. Even if you form a contract with a dragon, you can't afford to raise it."
For a moment, Lin Yu felt that the way she spoke slowly was like the ideal aristocrat.
"Then what do you mean by the different dragons you have, Auntie?"
"Soul-shifting Nightmare Dragon, Evil Desire Death Dragon, and Dark Nine Skeleton Dragon," An Xingwan looked at Lin Yu with a half-smile.
Lin Yu's mouth hung slightly.
Dragons of the dark and necromancy attributes?
The Soul-shifting Nightmare Dragon sounded like it also had mental attribute abilities...
The names all sounded very high-class, though also very much like villains...
Did An Yuan's family really have these pet beasts?
"Are you interested?"
"Ah, I'll think about it, Auntie," Lin Yu scratched his head.
It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but there might be better choices in the handbook.
He would see what choices he had after he advanced.
On the other hand, there was no free lunch in the world. Why would the other party be so good to him for no reason?
It was a little strange that she would give him a rare pet right off the bat.
"Alright, take your time to consider," An Xingwan laughed.
"Then, Lin Yu, let's exchange contacts," An Yuan had already taken out her phone.
"Indeed. We're all neighbors, but we don't even have each other's contact numbers," Lin Yu teased.
An Xingwan smiled and handed her phone over, "You've really changed a lot since you became an official Beastmaster."
"Oh, really? Maybe I was just pretending in the past?" Lin Yu looked at them with a faint smile.
No matter what, he had to accept this wave of goodwill first.
Perhaps the other party simply wanted to invest in him after seeing his potential.
However, he had to be careful.
Dinner went by happily.
"By the way, Yuanyuan, get the thousand nest stone and give it to Lin Yu," After three rounds of drinks and five dishes, Lin Yu was about to leave when An Xingwan suddenly said.
An Yuan froze for a moment, then glanced at Lin Yu with a smile and nodded.
"I'll go with you," Lin Yu quickly got up.
"What's a thousand nest stone?" He asked curiously.
"It's a kind of special resource. If you keep it at home, pet beasts of the dark attribute can cultivate faster, and so will you," An Yuan said.
Lin Yu was stunned. Increasing one's cultivation speed was indeed a treasure to ordinary people.
That being said, he had a devouring talent.
Forget it, it's better than nothing. Maybe there were other wonderful uses.
An Yuan entered her room, which was naturally inappropriate for Lin Yu to follow. He stood at the door and waited.
"What's that?"
There was a string of keys inserted in An Yuan's room door. There were seven keys in total, strung together with a ring.
Each key was shining with a different color, the seven colors of the rainbow.
The most important thing was that each key had a pair of eyes the size of green beans, all of which were curiously sizing up Lin Yu.
They swayed but did not make any sound.
"Is this An Yuan's pet beast?" Lin Yu found it quite interesting.
They looked a little like the calabash brothers...
He reached out and fiddled with them gently.
The next moment, the keys broke out in a cold sweat.
"Haha, this is so interesting."
Since there was no one around, he took out the illustrated handbook.
[Name: Seven-star Keys]
[Attributes: Space, metal]
[Realm: Extreme transformation realm]
[Potential: five stars (temporary)]
[Description: A key-type pet beast with special spatial abilities. It is a rare seven-in-one pet. Specific information is unknown.]
Lin Yu's mouth was slightly agape, and his thoughts were running wild.
The seven keys were one pet beast?
From his limited knowledge, there were many pets with two or three heads, but it was rare to see seven pets in one body.
And he could clearly see that each key had its own microexpression. It was not controlled by the same consciousness.
"A pet of the space attribute?" Lin Yu's eyes narrowed.
Pets of the time and space attributes were very rare.
The space attribute plus its form as a set of keys... Could it be something like the Anywhere Door? On the other hand, what did the temporary five-star for its potential mean?
Five stars were already quite high, and apart from Ye Tian's pet, this was the second five-star pet Lin Yu had seen.
"Is this a new pet that was discovered three years ago? The discoverer... Anonymous," Lin Yu was full of curiosity.
The door opened.
"What are you looking at?" An Yuan walked out with something that looked like a mini rockery.
"Your family has so many pets that I've never seen before," Lin Yu shifted his gaze to the rockery, "Is this the thousand nest stone?"
"Hehe, there's only so much to learn in school. My mom's garden will definitely have many more pets that you're interested in. Do you dare to go and have a look?"
"Why wouldn't I?" Lin Yu's interest was piqued, "I'm super brave, okay?"
"Then I'll take you there next time," An Yuan handed the thousand nest stone to Lin Yu with a smile.
Lin Yu held the miniature rockery and felt a trace of coldness seeping into his palm.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
"Yeah, take care."
Lin Yu waved his hand to bid them farewell.
...
When he got home, Lin Yu burped.
"I ate too much. I don't have to eat tomorrow morning..."
He placed the thousand nest stone in a corner of the living room, then summoned Xiaozi, and released a wave of dark spiritual power toward it.
In an instant, a black mist seemed to spread out from the thousand nest stone before disappearing without a trace.
"According to the fantasy novels, my house should now have a spirit-gathering array, right?" Lin Yu smiled.
The spiritual power in the room was obviously much denser. Xiaozi even closed her eyes comfortably.
"It seems that Xiaozi doesn't have to go back to the beast space to sleep tonight... " He touched his chin.
Lin Yu sat on the sofa and meditated for a moment. Then he suddenly remembered that he had yet to deal with the wind attribute resource he had stolen from Ye Tian.
It was useless to just leave it there anyway, so he should just use it.
"Xiaozi," Lin Yu called out to Xiaozi as he waved his hand.
Streams of mysterious mist spewed out from his palm and covered the winged crystal-like eggshell.
Xiaozi, who had already put on her slippers and was holding a toothbrush, walked over.
"Xiaozi is really becoming more and more like a human," Lin Yu sighed with emotion.
"Here, devour this first."
