[System Notification] A hero this way comes. The skies and earth darken, sand and stone fly through the air. Player Nutjob has successfully tamed the Divine Beast: White Tiger, after a series of difficult fights! Congratulations!
Shen Jingbin sat cross legged on the ground while hugging the White Tiger sheâd just caught. It had shrunk down to the size of a cat and they shared an awkward gaze.
A server wide announcement was made while the White Tiger shrunk down. At the same time, countless carrier pigeons flew up to her face, each of them holding a letter in their beaks. She didnât even need to look at the messages to know for sure that it was Shen Jingchen frantically bombarding her with messages.
The White Tiger nestled in Shen Jingbinâs arms looked at the birds with great interest. It proceeded to stretch its tiny claws, but was stopped short by Shen Jingbin who slapped its claws away. Feeling wronged, the White Tiger looked at her with its round black eyes and blinked. Its was so adorable, Shen Jingbinâs heart was on the verge of trembling. Its current appearance was practically night and day from how it used to look. If it werenât for her previous experience leaving such a deep impression, sheâd definitely be tempted to doubt her eyesight.
After capturing the White Tiger, there was now a chibi 1 version of it in Shen Jingbinâs once empty pet window. She couldnât help but want to pet the White Tigerâs furry head as she opened up its page.
âWhite Tiger, One of the four Divine Beasts, the spiritual beast of the West. Attribute: Metal, Governs Slaughter, Color: White. Known as White Tiger, represents fall.â
âAs the White Tiger is a deity of slaughter, the stronger the opponent, the more ruthless its attacks and skills become. Using skills will cause it to become enraged, rendering it uncapturable.â
You canât use skills?
Shen Jingbinâs mind blanked out. Sheâd been so nervous while fighting the White Tiger that sheâd forgotten she could use skills in the game!
It was a good thing that she did forget though, was this an idiotâs luck?
Shen Jingbin patted the little guyâs head after closing the pet window, she then stood up and said, âWhite Tiger sounds way too high profile. Iâll have to give you a different name, okay? Mm, Iâll call you Mascot.â
The little tiger at first replied with a growl, but after giving it some thought, made a tiny âmeowâ instead. This little thing was simply too adorable.
The corner of Shen Jingbinâs eyes twitched. Was this little fella trying to please her by learning how to meow like a cat?
She attempted to suss out the little tiger, âYou donât need to act like a cat, I know youâre a tiger.â
The moment she finished speaking, she saw the tips of Mascotâs ears tremble, before it excitedly cried out, âGao gao gao!â
Shen Jingbin: âŚ
Mascot was trying really hard to please her.
Could she still play this game properly when her pet was trying to flatter her that much?!
The quest wasnât marked as completed, even though sheâd unexpectedly managed to tame a Divine Beast. Shen Jingbin placed Mascot on her shoulder and opened up the guild channel to ask for help.
[Guild] Nutjob: What do I do if I end up getting lost?
[Guild] Slight Chill: You must have gotten your IQ eaten by a dog, how did you manage to get lost?
[Guild] Eternal Rest: Nutty, I heard you managed to tame a Divine Beast!! Where are you, where are you, Iâll come get you! I want to see how the Divine Beast looks like!
[Guild] Long Life: Little Nut, howâd you tame the Divine Beast? How did you do it?
[Guild] Tanabata Evening: What kind of special skills does the Divine Beast have?
[Guild] Shi Yi: Is the Divine Beast a guy or a girl? Can it give birth?! If it can, let me buy one off you!

Thanks to the systemâs announcement, the guild channel was abuzz with activity. With her appearance, the chat was whipped into even more of a frenzy. Shen Jingbin only felt that the words flashing past her on the chat window were a blur. She couldnât tell who was saying what.
The army of carrier pigeons that had taken a great deal of time to settle down around her were once again causing a ruckus. She opened up a few of the letters. Aside from a small number of friends, many of the letters were sent by people she didnât know. It was only then that she realized she hadnât selected the option to reject letters from strangers yet.
She hurriedly changed her settings to reject letters from strangers, breathing a sigh of relief after narrowly avoiding being annoyed to death by the army of carrier pigeons. Unfortunately for her, she didnât even have a momentâs respite before a shiny carrier pigeon landed on her shoulder.
âSend me an invite.â It was from Shen Jingchen.
Shen Jingbin very obediently sent out a party invitation, which was instantly accepted.
There were now two other people within the party, Quiet and Steadfast and Dawnâs Twilight.
For the convenience of the players, in addition to the guild channel, players were also provided a party and raid channel.
[Party] Dawnâs Twilight: âŚ
[Party] Nutjob: âŚ
[Party] Quiet And Steadfast: ? ? ?
[Party] Dawnâs Twilight: âŚ
[Party] Nutjob: Are you retarded -.-?
[Party] Dawnâs Twilight: Iâm going to go f*****g nuts because of you!
[Party] Nutjob: âŚIâm very magnanimous!
[Party] Dawnâs Twilight: âŚ
[Party] Quiet and Steadfast: âŚ
[Party] Quiet and Steadfast: Stay where you are, Dawnâs Twilight and I are coming over to pick you up.
[Party] Nutjob: Ok.
[Party] Dawnâs Twilight: Howâd you end up at Nameless Mountain? Even birds wouldnât shit there.
[Party] Nutjob: I was trying to farm some mobs, but couldnât find any, and I ended up drifting here.
[Party] Dawnâs Twilight: âŚF*ck! You managed to get yourself a Divine Beast by just wandering around? There really is no justice in this world! Back when your big bro was trying to get himself a Celestial pet, he had to bring along an entire party to help him succeed.
[Party] Nutjob: Not my fault I was born beautiful, canât do anything about it ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ.
The party channel abruptly went silent when she said that. At this point, Shen Jingbin suddenly realized that her current appearance had nothing to do with the word beauty.
[Party] Nutjob: Donât judge my appearance by your human standards, I am a goddess of the Divine Beast realm.
[Party] Dawnâs Twilight: You win.
[Party] Quiet and Steadfast: âŚYou guys are pretty funny.
