Chen Mo took a taxi to Shenghai City's First Hospital. Along the way, Little Fox worked hard to cultivate.
The [Overachiever] challenge required him to cultivate for more than 80 hours in a week. On average, he needed to cultivate for 12 hours a day, so he had to make use of every minute and second from now on.
Ten minutes later, Chen Mo arrived at the door of a ward.
"Little Mo, you're here?"
Seeing Chen Mo's arrival, a trace of joy flashed across the eyes of the old woman lying on the hospital bed. She desperately wanted to sit up.
Chen Mo hurriedly ran over to help the old woman up and said,
"Grandma, I have good news for you. Your grandson is already a beast tamer! Moreover, I have already contracted a spiritual beast. You've seen it before. It's Jiu Bao!"
As he spoke, a red summoning array appeared under Chen Mo's feet and a Blazing Flame Fox appeared out of thin air.
"Chirp!"
Xiao Jiu rubbed against the old woman's rough palm. She was no stranger to Chen Mo's grandmother. Before the old woman fell sick and was hospitalized, she would often feed the little fox delicious food.
"Good! Good!"
The old woman said 'good' twice in a row and tears welled up in her eyes.
Actually, at her age, she had already gotten over life and death. The only person she was worried about was Chen Mo.
Now that she saw Chen Mo become a beast tamer, she no longer had anything to worry about.
However, when she thought of what had happened to her daughter and son-in-law, a new worry arose in her heart. Hence, the old woman said,
"Little Mo, promise me that you won't go to the Spiritual Realm in the future. Just live a peaceful life on the Blue Planet."
"Yes! But Grandma, you have to promise me that you'll take good medicine and receive treatment. Your grandson is already a beast tamer now. We won't lack money soon! Everything will be fine."
Chen Mo's grandmother was in the late stages of cancer. If this was the world he was in before, then her cancer would be incurable.
However, in this world with spirit beasts, not only were there pills that could prevent her grandmother's current condition from deteriorating, but some high-rank spirit beasts and high-rank medicine could even cure cancer.
It was just that the price was too expensive.
This was also the main reason why he desperately wanted to become a beast tamer.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Mo's heart was a little heavy, but he still composed himself and hailed a cab to go to the Beast Tamer Headquarters in Shenghai City.
Beast Tamer Bureau was a department that controlled all aspects of beast tamers. It had a lot of power. Only beast tamers who had registered with the Beast Tamer Bureau were legal beast tamers.
Because it was summer vacation, there were a lot of people who came to the Beast Tamer Bureau to settle the procedures. Chen Mo queued for more than an hour before he finally completed the procedures for himself and the Blazing Flame Fox.
Chen Mo registered himself as an apprentice Beast Tamer. After confirming that he had awakened the Beast Taming Space and contracted a spirit beast, he quickly passed.
Then, Chen Mo spent 1,000 yuan to get a Beast Tamer bracelet. This was something that every Beast Tamer could not do without.
Although the bracelet was small, its functions were very complete. It could scan and identify the information of spirit beasts, sign up for competitions, positioning and so on.
1,000 yuan was considered cheap.
Xiao Jiu, on the other hand, applied for an identity card.
The little fellow looked at the small jade pendant hanging around its neck with joy in its eyes. Its furry tail subconsciously swayed from side to side.
This thumb-sized jade token was the Blazing Flame Fox's "ID". It recorded all kinds of information about it and at the same time, it also symbolized that the little fellow was now a legal spirit beast!
After leaving the Beast Tamer Bureau, Chen Mo went to the Green Phoenix building in Shenghai City right away.
Green Phoenix Group was one of the top five corporations in Dongxia Country. As long as it was an industry related to Beast Tamers, they were involved. The shopping mall in front of them was mainly for Beast Tamers.
The Green Phoenix building had a total of 24 floors. The dazzling array of goods was simply irresistible.
Chen Mo didn't shop much. After buying some daily necessities and a piece of fire ore for the Blazing Flame Fox, he headed straight for the magical potion area.
Then, two bottles of healing potions and two bottles of petrification potions cost him a total of 8,000 yuan.
Healing potions could quickly heal the injuries of spirit beasts and petrification potions could increase the defense of spirit beasts for a short period of time.
After making up his mind to complete the challenge of [Lightning King], Chen Mo still chose to obtain [Resilient] attribute. He bought these two potions to prevent any accidents from happening during the challenge.
This huge expense made Chen Mo's heart ache. Currently, he only had 34,000 yuan left in his account.
"Necessary investment. Necessary investment."
Chen Mo comforted himself.
After returning home, Chen Mo summoned Xiao Jiu.
The little fox looked at Chen Mo in a daze. Flames seemed to be flowing in its beautiful red pupils.
The little fellow was cultivating enthusiastically when he was interrupted by Chen Mo.
In the Beast Taming Space, the speed at which it absorbed fire-elemental spiritual energy was much faster.
Although Chen Mo's Beast Taming Space was currently only at Level 1, it could still increase Xiao Jiu's absorption rate by about 50%.
"Preparations are complete. Let's begin training! The first training plan I've made for you is called the sandbag training method. It's very simple. I'll attack you next. You can't dodge."
"Chirp???" (The training plan you mentioned is to beat me?)
Xiao Jiu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Cough cough, how can this be called beating? This is to increase your resistance to attacks and increase your willpower in battle. If you want to improve yourself, you have to first learn how to take a beating and how to minimize the damage you receive!"
Chen Mo said seriously.
"Chirp!" (Then, come on!)
Xiao Jiu gave him a look of disbelief.
Chen Mo's words seemed to make sense, but it vaguely felt that it had been fooled.
Nevertheless, the little fellow still trusted Chen Mo a lot.
If other spirit beasts that had just contracted saw their master acting so abnormally, they would have canceled the contract and run away overnight.
"Don't worry. Drink this first."
Chen Mo took out a grayish-brown petrification potion and fed it to Xiao Jiu. In the next half an hour, Xiao Jiu's defense would increase slightly.
"Chirp!"
Although the potion tasted bitter and astringent, the little fox still drank it in one gulp.
Its desire to become stronger was even stronger than Chen Mo's!
"Get ready. I'm coming."
After the effects of the petrification potion took effect, Chen Mo took a deep breath and used 78% of his strength to hit the place with the most flesh on the back of the Blazing Flame Fox.
Bang!
There was a dull sound.
"F*ck! It hurts!"
It was not Xiao Jiu who cried out in pain, but Chen Mo.
After using the Petrification Potion, the Blazing Flame Fox's skin turned hard. Throwing it a punch was like hitting a wall.
"Are you all right?"
Chen Mo rubbed the back of his hand and asked.
"Chirp?"
Xiao Jiu looked at him adorably as it didn't feel much of anything. Chen Mo's punch felt like a massage to it.
Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Mo worriedly.
It was fine, but Chen Mo seemed to be in pain.
"I'm fine. I'm going to use the props next."
With that, Chen Mo took out a baseball bat.
Xiao Jiu: "???"
