When Li Xiangting returned, she saw her son with a blank expression, making and breaking the summoning gesture for the Fire Fang Dog.
Li Xiangting asked in confusion, "Weiwei, what are you doing?"
Zhan Wei had no expression on his face. "I'm playing."
...
...
After leaving the Zanggang Pet Beast Base, Zhan Wei didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to the Zanggang Beast Tamer Center.
According to the alliance regulations, all contracted pet beasts must be registered at the Beast Tamer Center within seven working days.
In this era, it's not enough to just contract a pet beast and bring it home. First, the pet beast needs to be registered, otherwise it would be considered illegal.
Human residential cities prohibit the entry of wild supernatural creatures. If they are found without registration, they would be taken away by the inspection department as wild supernatural creatures.
It's not uncommon for wild supernatural creatures to attack humans. On the contrary, news reports often cover incidents of humans being attacked by supernatural creatures.
To ensure the safety of humans, especially ordinary people who haven't awakened their domains, the alliance prohibits the existence of wild supernatural creatures in cities.
However, supernatural creatures come in various forms and possess mysterious powers. It's relatively easier to spot supernatural creatures like beasts, but it's difficult to see creatures like elves or ghosts when they hide.
Therefore, the alliance has established an inspection department to specifically deal with such situations.
On the way from the Zanggang Pet Beast Base to home, there was a turn that led to the Zanggang Beast Tamer Center, which was conveniently on the way.
At the turning point, Zhan Wei's mother rode off on her faithful bear, saying she had something to do and leaving behind Chubby homing pigeon as his means of transportation.
By the time Zhan Wei arrived at the Zanggang Beast Tamer Center, it was already 11:32 in the morning, and there were only 28 minutes left until closing time.
Unlike domain registration, which only had one window, there were 16 windows available for information registration at the Beast Tamer Center.
Zhan Wei took a number and found a seat.
Chubby homing pigeon stood quietly beside his, guarding, while the Fire Fang Dog was cradled in her arms, looking around with wide eyes, clearly curious about the surroundings.
"Number 06556, please proceed to Window 12."
"Number 06556, please proceed to Window 12."
Zhan Wei lowered her head to check the number in her hand, it was 06557, and then he looked at the time, 11:52.
It seemed that it wasn't his turn in the morning.
"Number 06557, please proceed to Window 12."
It seemed that Number 06556 didn't show up, and they called Josang's number directly.
Zhan Wei stood up abruptly, holding the Fire Fang Dog, it seemed that he was lucky today.
Arriving at Window 12, he was greeted by a young man with a crew cut.
"Hello, how can I assist you?" the young man with a crew cut asked.
Zhan Wei took out his information card from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "I'm here to register my pet beast."
The young man took the information card and placed it on the scanner. After looking at it for a moment, he said, "Hello, according to our records, you are not yet a Beast Tamer, so we cannot proceed with the pet beast registration."
Zhan Wei was taken aback and said, "Then let me register as a Beast Tamer first."
The young man replied, "Please show me your domain certification."
It was Zhan Wei's first time registering as a Beast Master, and he didn't know that he needed domain certification.
"I didn't bring it," Zhan Wei said helplessly.
Then he raised the Fire Fang Dog in her hand and asked, "Can't this prove that I am a Beast Master?"
The young man silently glanced at the time on the computer, 11:58, and replied, "No, it can't."
"Why not?" Zhan Wei asked, confused.
"Are you done or not? If you didn't bring everything, please give up your spot," came an impatient voice from behind.
Zhan Wei turned around and saw a Boy wearing the uniform of Cohesion Beast High School standing behind his.
The Boy glanced at Zhan Wei. He had narrow and slanted eyes that made people uncomfortable like he looked down at them.
Seeing Zhan Wei's silence, the boy bypassed his and handed his number paper over, saying, "I'm Number 06556, in front of his. Please process mine first, as I need to make changes to my pet beast information."
Zhan Wei frowned and stood up, preparing to give up his spot. Although this person's attitude was unpleasant, he did indeed have incomplete information.
The young man with the crew cut rejected the boy and said, "We have to rearrange the queue since he is out of order."
He then returned the information card to Zhan Wei and said, "Beast Tamers need to provide proof and take a photo for registration."
It was exactly 12 o'clock, and the young man turned the window sign in a different direction and smiled, saying, "We're off work now, you can come back in the afternoon." After speaking, he left his workstation.
Neither of them was able to complete their tasks, but Zhan Wei didn't really mind since it was just something hee thought of along the way.
However, the boy in the high school uniform frowned and said, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would have finished everything."
Zhan Wei got up and left.
Someone stopped her with a hand, saying, "Hey, didn't you hear me talking to you?"
Zhan Wei looked confused and glanced around, asking, "Are you talking to me?"
"Is there anyone else here?" The boy's slanted eyes widened.
At this moment, two passersby quietly walked by.
