Mother paused for a moment and said, "Isn't the Fire Fang Dog too irritable?"
As a beast tamer, choosing a beast undoubtedly involves looking at its attributes, talents, and potential.
As a rookie beast tamer, the most important thing is to look at the temperament of the beast.
Small Fat pigeon, White Sand Fox, Short-tailed Snake, Sand Rat, and Deep Fur Dragon can be the first choice for novice beast tamers, as temperament actually plays a big part.
The beasts bred in the beast base are not all gentle and won't attack humans.
If an inexperienced beast tamer contracts a beast with a violent temperament as their first one, not to mention commanding it in battle, they won't even be able to train it.
Last year, a young boy who had just finished the high school entrance exam in Kai Nan City contracted a Flame Sparrow, but within two days, the Flame Sparrow would rather suffer backlash than continue the contract.
The boy's brain was severely damaged, and when he went to high school half a year later, he was already far behind his peers.
Later, in an interview, it was revealed that the cause of the incident was simply that the boy wanted the Flame Sparrow to pose for a few pictures for his social media.
This news became a hot topic for a few minutes.
Most fire-type beasts are rough and willful, and the Fire Fang Dog is no exception.
However, Zhan Wei didn't think so. It's impossible for all Fire Fang Dogs of a race to have a bad temper; there are always a few with different personalities.
Otherwise, if an entire race had the same temperament, they would lack individuality.
"Mom, didn't you say I have the talent for beast taming? I think the Fire Fang Dog is quite suitable for me," Zhan Wei said.
The Fire Fang Dog is a fire-type beast with strong attack power. After a certain evolution, it is definitely qualified for his to be assessed as a successful E-rank beast tamer.
However, although the Fire Fang Dog is not as expensive as a superpower beast like the Bubble Bell, it is still much more expensive than beasts like Small Fat Pigeon.
For example, Small Fat Pigeon, which is the first choice for novice beast tamers, costs around 30,000, while the Fire Fang Dog costs around 100,000.
Zhan Wei understood the family situation, and they could afford the money.
"Okay, I'll take you to the beast base tomorrow morning," her mother agreed without saying much more.
...
...
The next day, just as dawn broke, Zhan Wei was woken up by his mother.
Under his mother's urging, it only took her 10 minutes to get ready and have breakfast. It was only 7:06 when they were ready to leave.
Zhan Wei had been droopy-eyed the whole time, looking like he hadn't fully woken up.
It wasn't until he got into the car.
The Zanggang Beast Base was not located in the city center but in the suburbs over 40 kilometers away.
When Zhan Wei and his family arrived at the Zanggang Beast Base, it was already 8:31 am.
Coincidentally, they arrived just as the base opened for business.
Because it was still early, there were only two people, them included, who came to buy beasts at the base.
There was no need for appointments or waiting in line.
They were greeted by a female staff member who appeared to be in her thirties.
"May I help you with anything?" She approached them with a professional smile.
"We would like to buy a Fire Fang Dog," Zhan Wei's mother stated their purpose directly.
"Alright, please follow me," the staff member led the way.
She clearly had a lot of work experience and kept introducing various details along the way, making the atmosphere less awkward.
"We currently have 27 Fire Fang Dogs in the base, all of them developing well. Two of them are even on the verge of evolution, while 19 out of the remaining 25 have already learned Spark.
"Seven of them have even learned Fireball, making them a few centimeters taller than their peers. And we also have five..."
As she was introducing, they had already arrived at the area specifically dedicated to raising Fire Fang Dogs.
Before Zhan Wei could get closer...
"A bang!"
An explosion suddenly rang out, and a flame struck a spot about five meters away from Zhan Wei.
He was startled.
He looked in the direction where the flame came from.
Two Fire Fang Dogs, noticeably taller than the others, were baring their flaming fangs at each other.
Their fangs were covered in burning flames, a basic inherited ability of Fire Fang Dogs - Fire Fang.
The staff member remained calm and explained, "These two are the ones on the verge of evolution. They always fight each other to prove who is the strongest, but it always ends in a draw."
As she spoke, flames flickered and another one hit a spot about four meters away from Zhan Wei.
He felt his scalp tingle.
The staff member pointed to a nearby bush on the left. "The sparks just now were released by that Fire Fang Dog. It has quite a powerful attack."
Zhan Wei looked over and saw another Fire Fang Dog standing in front of the first one, with a tense atmosphere.
Sure enough, the next second, they started biting each other.
The staff member provided real-time commentary, "They are rivals fighting over the affection of a female Fire Fang Dog. However, it's unlikely to have any outcome because the female Fire Fang Dog prefers another one."
Zhan Wei: "..."
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the female Fire Fang Dog?"
The female Fire Fang Dog's temperament must be better than the male's, right?
The staff member chuckled and said, "It's the one that was cheering them on during their fight just now."
Zhan Wei was taken aback. He looked again, and indeed, there was a Fire Fang Dog with cleaner and smoother fur beside the bushes, excitedly howling.
"Bark!"
"Bark!"
The staff member translated, "It should be barking to encourage them to fight. Although it doesn't like them, it enjoys watching them fight for its sake."
Zhang Wei: "..."
