"This Iron-Eater seems to have been smart from a young age."
Shiyu saw that the young Iron-Eater quickly recognized the reality from its rebellious mood and was very satisfied.
Isn't it just a better growing environment? Isn't it just various delicacies?
Once he becomes a powerful Beastmaster, won't he have whatever he wants?
Yes, but before that, the Iron-Eater will have to work hard and help him become a great Beastmaster.
"Can we sign the contract now?"
Shiyu looked at the caretaker Lin Xiuzhu, who was holding the young Iron-Eater.
Only by signing a contract with the Iron-Eater and establishing a mental connection can they truly be considered each other's Beastmaster and pet beast.
After that, the various special aspects of the Beastmaster system can be demonstrated.
"Sure." Lin Xiuzhu moved her hand and nodded.
"You sign the contract, and I'll watch over."
After saying that, Lin Xiuzhu also sighed in relief.
Finally, a Beastmaster was willing to take it.
Although many Beastmasters who came to choose pet beasts had complained about this Iron-Eater, thinking it had poor talent, Lin Xiuzhu didn't think so.
The young Iron-Eater's congenital weak constitution was not a big problem; it could gradually recover after some days of care in the Beastmaster space. This situation had happened before.
On the contrary, under such differences, being rejected by one Beastmaster after another, it gradually developed a character that refused to lose and hoped to gain recognition, which Lin Xiuzhu found very special and a sign of outstanding talent.
If a lazy Iron-Eater could become more disciplined, with proper cultivation, it might not be inferior to pet beasts of higher racial levels.
She herself grew up in the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base, living with these Iron-Eaters since childhood, and her initial pet beast was also an Iron-Eater. Therefore, she knew the situation of every Iron-Eater very well.
Originally, she thought that if no one was willing to take this Iron-Eater in the end, she would keep it in the breeding base and take care of it herself.
But now that Shiyu had chosen this Iron-Eater, it might be a good outcome for both Shiyu and the eleventh Iron-Eater.
Moreover, considering that Shiyu was a victim of the disaster in Pingcheng ten years ago, she even chose to give him a month's worth of pet beast food for free.
Ten years ago, during the beast tide, she was just a child, and her parents were powerful Beastmasters, so she didn't have much memory of the disaster. But for ordinary people, it was a different story.
Many families were destroyed, and many children became orphans. In fact, the local policy supported victims of the disaster like Shiyu.
Without this identity, even if Shiyu had special mental sensing talent and an intern caretaker certificate, it would not be easy for him to take out a loan to buy a young Iron-Eater.
Society mostly cares for the weak, and as a weak person being cared for, Shiyu did not reject this congenitally weak Iron-Eater but instead recognized it, which made Lin Xiuzhu silently acknowledge Shiyu. This was the reason she was willing to give him a month's worth of pet beast food.
These foods were not much to her, but they would certainly alleviate a lot of pressure for Shiyu.
I hope they have a better future... Lin Xiuzhu silently thought, as she had developed a certain affection for these Iron-Eaters after taking care of them for so long.
"From today on, I am your Beastmaster... let's work hard together. You are called Eleven here, right? My name is Shiyu, and our names are quite similar, which means we have a great connection. How about I continue to call you Eleven or Shi Yi?" At this moment, facing the nervous young Iron-Eater, Shiyu closed his eyes and meditated, chanting softly.
At this moment, Shiyu seemed to see the Beastmaster space in his brain.
It was a white world with transparent barriers, like clouds inside.
Hush, hush, hush...
As Shiyu communicated with the Beastmaster space and initiated the capture contract according to the method he had learned, a gentle breeze blew outside.
When the dust on the ground was stirred up, countless light points flickered in front of Shiyu. Two circular arrays, like star maps with a transparent texture, appeared above and below the young Iron-Eater, sandwiching it in the middle.
In the next second, countless faint light points flowed out from the arrays, enveloping the young Iron-Eater, as if trying to cover and envelop it!
"Relax, don't struggle."
Beside him, Lin Xiuzhu said to the young Iron-Eater. She could sense that Shiyu had not fully activated the contract, and the binding was not strong. Therefore, if the Iron-Eater struggled a little, the contract would be interrupted, so she had to remind it.
At the same time, Shiyu also looked at it seriously.
"Whine..."
Under the white light, the young Iron-Eater's expression was still tense, but in this state, the mental connection between Shiyu and the Iron-Eater reached a higher level.
The young Iron-Eater could also clearly feel Shiyu's emotions. Shiyu really liked this young Iron-Eater. As someone who had been alone in both lives, he knew that this Iron-Eater might accompany him for the rest of his life. He had already decided to raise this young Iron-Eater like a child, determined to help it grow up successfully.
Sigh... I haven't even found a wife yet, and I've already got a pet beast that's harder to raise than a child. Shiyu felt a bit tired.
Although Shiyu seemed casual on the surface, it was his sincere heart that made the young Iron-Eater lower its guard and begin to accept the contract. It also fully recognized the Beastmaster who chose it.
Soon, the white light enveloped the entire young Iron-Eater. At this moment, the arrays connecting to the Beastmaster space rippled, and under these ripples, the young Iron-Eater, enveloped in white light, gradually turned into a glow and disappeared from the outside world, entering the Beastmaster space!
Buzz!
Everything happened very quickly. Shiyu hadn't even reacted when he felt a warm current flow through his body. His spirit first felt tired, then quickly recovered, and he became unusually energetic, feeling his strength had increased significantly.
"Congratulations, you have successfully signed a contract with the Iron-Eater."
"My suggestion is to let it get familiar with the environment of the Beastmaster space first, and don't summon or store it frequently."
"If it can quickly adapt to the environment of the Beastmaster space, it should be able to awaken its hardening ability within a week."
As Shiyu's brain buzzed, Lin Xiuzhu's voice came from behind.
"Okay." Shiyu nodded subconsciously, realizing what had happened to him.
After successfully signing a contract with his first pet beast and becoming a Beastmaster, he immediately received the power feedback from the pet beast, enhancing his mental strength and physical fitness!
Although the young Iron-Eater was weak, it still provided some feedback. Even a small amount of feedback was valuable for Shiyu, who was experiencing this for the first time.
However, this was not the most surprising thing for him.
The most surprising thing was that with the successful contract of his first pet beast and the enhancement of his physical attributes, the skill codex also provided new information.
The number of skills that could be recorded increased.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuzhu noticed Shiyu's abnormality and asked.
"Nothing, just feeling my physical attributes have improved, and I'm a bit unaccustomed." Shiyu immediately replied.
Lin Xiuzhu smiled and said, "It's normal to feel unaccustomed the first time. You'll get used to it later."
"Then, let me take you to complete the final procedures. You'll also receive a breeding manual, and you can fill in your address. The iron bamboo I promised will be regularly delivered to you. This food must be fresh, so it's not suitable for large storage."
"Once these are finished, you're welcome to come back and order more food for the Iron-Eater, but it will be charged then."
"These are no problem..." Shiyu said, "Actually, Senior Lin, I have one more request."
"Hmm?"
"Can I visit here? To better raise the Iron-Eater, I want to learn more about its real living environment."
"Of course, no problem. You can even bring the Iron-Eater back to play anytime, after all, this is its home. Um, no free meals allowed..."
"Cough, no free meals, by the way, can I touch the Iron-Eaters here..."
"Generally, there's no problem. After all, this is still a scenic area, and the Iron-Eaters are very gentle. Besides, you have mental sensing talent."
Great!
Lin Xiuzhu's answer made Shiyu very excited. This was it. Why wait a week? He would arrange for the Iron-Eater to harden today and let it know how powerful its Beastmaster is.
This is the first step in raising a child, making it admire you. After that, it's easier to... educate it!
I just wonder if the adult Iron-Eaters here have any rare skills besides their racial abilities... Regardless, I'll get the hardening ability first.
