Flora Gates opened the gift box, and the contents made her tremble inside.
It was a high-level extraordinary Superpower Core, which was suitable for her awakening and breakthrough to extraordinary use with her Super Power attribute.
However, these things were not important. What was important was that this Superpower Core had an external selling price of at least tens of thousands of Cathay currency.
During the time Vincent Wolf got to know her, he had been very thrifty, and Flora also knew that Vincent was actually an orphan and very poor. To buy this Superpower Core, he must have spent all his fortune.
"This must be very expensive. If you bought this for me, how will you live in the future?"
Flora Gates became anxious, pushed the gift back and said anxiously, "Return it quickly. I've already forgiven you, so don't spend any more money on me!"
"But the shopkeeper said once it's sold, it can't be returned or exchanged. If I sell it a second time, the price will be greatly discounted."
Vincent Wolf seemed embarrassed, and then he said earnestly, "And besides, this was something I wanted to buy for you. It's a token of my appreciation. Even if I have to live on a bun a day in the future, I'm willing to do so."
Suddenly, the Three-tailed Fox threw herself at Vincent Wolf, hugging him tightly and sobbing loudly. As she cried, she mumbled something unintelligible, which even the translator could not accurately translate.
Vincent Wolf softly comforted Flora Gates while thinking to himself that, if a Beast Master had a status panel, his would definitely show the talent skill [Acting] reaching expert level.
Before Vincent Wolf got the Space Bracelet, he had indeed been short of living expenses. Dragon Town was famous for saying it was to foster self-reliance, but would often forget to give him living expenses.
This would sometimes force him to take on odd jobs to barely make ends meet.
But now, Vincent Wolf had the entire wealth of a senior master-level Beast Master, with the lowest level resources being high-level extraordinary pet beasts.
When young, he disparaged the rich; as an adult, he understood them; now, he himself became one of them.
After a while, Flora Gates let go of Vincent Wolf and said with a whimper, "It seems I misunderstood you. You were forced into this situation, so I don't blame you. Will you... still contract with me?"
"After everything I've done to you, are you still willing to contract with me?" Vincent Wolf was very touched.
"Of course."
"But the opponent is very powerful. Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
"I believe in you!" Flora Gates said earnestly, "Let's go and sign the contract again. We'll form a contract when you've become a professional beast tamer."
Vincent Wolf was deeply moved by the cute and innocent little Three-tailed Fox, but he was also a bit hesitant.
He still wanted to try his inherited Beast-controlling Talent [Dimension Summon], which had the probability of summoning a Mythical Race. He wanted to be a betting addict.
But at this point, he certainly could not refuse, or all his previous efforts would have been wasted.
He stopped Flora Gates' movement, reached into his clothes, and slowly pulled out the contract agreement she had thrown at him in the morning.
"You actually kept it in your breast pocket." Flora Gates was even more moved, "But how did this agreement get so crumpled?"
"After you threw it at me, my heart felt a sharp pain, and my hand involuntarily clenched, causing this agreement to crumple. Flora, you won't blame me, will you?" Vincent Wolf asked.
"Of course not, I'm just happy that you carried it with you," Flora replied.
Vincent Wolf was also pleased that the agreement he inadvertently pocketed in the morning, having not found a trash can, could still play a role in the afternoon.
As for why it was taken out from his breast pocket, it was, of course, the work of the Space Bracelet.
Flora Gates carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the agreement, then took out a small button from her body.
With a press, a penetrating sound emitted, and Vincent Wolf was not surprised as he had seen this gadget before. It was intended for Flora Gates to summon Nora Gates.
In just a few minutes, Nora Gates arrived, stopping a few meters away, and her eyes almost popped out when she saw Flora Gates and Vincent Wolf sticking close together.
"Flora! What is this!?"
Nora Gates felt that her decades-long fox life could not keep up with the times. In the morning, Flora was crying and looked like she wanted to tear Vincent Wolf apart, but by afternoon, they had turned lovey-dovey.
It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing too fast.
"I still want to contract with Vincent Wolf," Flora Gates said tearfully to Nora Gates.
"Weren't you heartbroken earlier, saying that you wanted to be a free pet beast and never be contracted by humans again?"
"That was before. Now I understand that I was just misunderstanding Vincent."
"That's right, Aunt Fox, didn't you also agree with me earlier?" Vincent Wolf interjected.
"That was before! Now I can see clearly that you're not a good person," Nora Gates said indignantly.
"Mom, how can you say something like that about him?" Flora Gates said unhappily.
"Flora, don't treat Aunt Fox like this. If you continue like this, I'll get angry!" Vincent Wolf pretended to be angry.
Nora Gates looked at Flora Gates, who was turning her arm outward, and Vincent Wolf, who was speaking in an odd tone, with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
"I don't care anymore, do whatever you want!" Nora Gates, adhering to the principle of out of sight, out of mind, promptly ran away.
"Don't forget to change my current contract status on the Breeding House official Twitter!" Flora Gates didn't forget to remind her.
Nora Gates, in the distance, stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Then she ran away even faster.
"Vincent Wolf, how about I live with you?" Flora Gates looked at Vincent Wolf with anticipation.
Vincent Wolf paused and broke out in a cold sweat, quickly responding:
"Not for now, I need some time. Those noble capitalists won't leave me alone for the time being. I need to accumulate power to fight against them. You'll be safer here, and I won't have to worry about your safety all the time."
Joking aside, if he let Flora live in his house, all the things he said earlier would be exposed.
Flora Gates was somewhat disappointed, but she soon cheered up, "You have to come and pick me up early then!"
"Definitely, definitely, next time for sure!" Vincent Wolf quickly promised.
...
By the time Vincent Wolf returned home, the sun had already set in the west. He let the Slime out of the Beast Space so it could breathe, and also let it train itself in the yard.
Although the memories from the Simulation were extremely realistic, they were all based on Vincent Wolf's step-by-step improvement.
For the Slime, this was still somewhat unfamiliar, and the connection and release of its skills still felt a bit raw.
Moreover, the Slime had rapidly increased its strength from an infant-like state by an unknown number of times over a very short period of time.
This made its control over itself somewhat lacking, and it needed to train more to reach a perfect state.
As Vincent Wolf instructed the Slime on its training, he thought about assigning a name to the Slime.
Before, he didn't think about naming the Slime because he hadn't accepted it. Now that he thought it wasn't so bad, it was time to name it. Otherwise, it would be weird to call it Slime when encountering other Slimes.
