NOVEL NEXT Chapter 102: The Second Beast Pet
Chapter 102: The Second Beast Pet
The reason is simple.
Support-type beast pets are cheaper compared to combat beast pets.
And they are also better for mixing into teams for dungeons.
After all, a Beast Spirit Priest is also a priest.
The last branch of the profession.
Beast Spirit Walker, who accompanies beasts, befriends beasts, and fights alongside beast pets to exert maximum combat power.
Generally, those who dare to change their profession to Beast Spirit Walker are extremely confident in their combat skills; otherwise, they would switch to Beast Master.
The Beast Master branch is all about letting beast pets fight while the master does nothing.
Of course...
There are also powerful Beast Masters with excellent abilities to command and control beast pets, enhancing their pets' combat power.
After reviewing these branches.
Wang Chen didn't even have to think about it; he definitely chose the Beast Spirit Walker branch.
He touched the stone.
Buzz!
The transfer stone immediately emitted a dazzling light.
[You have successfully transferred!]
[Your current profession is: Beast Spirit Walker!]
[Congratulations on acquiring the exclusive second-transfer passive skill: Befriend Beasts.]
[Befriend Beasts (S): Your bond with your beast pets will become deeper, and when fighting alongside your beast pets, you will continuously gain skill attack power bonuses, up to a maximum of 60%.]
[Note: The value effect of this passive skill will increase with your level.]
......
"Not bad!"
This passive adds skill attack power, which is excellent.
The second-turn trial ceremony is free.
After successfully changing professions, Wang Chen directly left the business hall and hurried to the credit exchange plaza.
Now that he can contract two beast pets, the first priority is to sign a contract with a new beast pet.
The Xuanyuan Academy trading plaza is bustling and lively.
The crowd consists mainly of first and second-year students.
As for the third and fourth-year seniors, they have already gone to the branch campus on the Abyss Continent for training.
It is worth mentioning...
Second-year students are the largest group at Xuanyuan Academy, numbering over thirty thousand.
Some might wonder.
Xuanyuan Academy only admits about a thousand students a year, so why are there over thirty thousand second-year students?
This is related to the rules of Xuanyuan Academy.
Advancing from first to second year requires no assessment.
But second-year students must pass an assessment and meet certain conditions to become third-year students.
Because third-year students will enter the branch campus on the Abyss Continent for training, which is not as comfortable as the main campus.
So students must be at least level 100 and have completed fourth turn, passing the school's set trial conditions.
Otherwise, going to the Abyss Continent as a weakling is akin to seeking death.
Therefore, many second-year students are stuck here.
The school gives each student three years.
Within these three years, they must complete the trial conditions.
If they can't, they must graduate and find a job.
Of course, their diploma will be marked: Xuanyuan Academy Graduate (Second Year).
In the eyes of many second-year students, this diploma is equivalent to an 'elimination certificate.'
Although graduating from Xuanyuan Academy still gives an advantage in society, this 'elimination certificate' proves that you are not as good as students from other prestigious schools.
At this moment.
Wang Chen has entered the credit exchange market.
What he sees is...
Unparalleled prosperity and bustle.
Many external enterprises have settled here.
Equipment, items, materials, elixirs, beast pets, skill books...
Everything is for sale.
All transactions are in credits or sacred crystals; gold coins are useless here.
Gold coins are more for everyday life and the common market.
Sacred crystals are the true currency in the profession circle.
However...
After visiting several shops, Wang Chen found that the beast pets were very expensive!
They cost tens of thousands of credits!
In contrast, the beast pets here start at the Xuan Beast level, with the highest being third-tier source beasts!
A third-tier source beast is worth millions of credits!
They are pampered by beast pet merchants in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm!
Completely unaffordable!
Of course...
For Wang Chen, he doesn't need to buy such expensive beast pets.
He's looking for stalls selling low-tier beast pets.
Others seek diamonds in gold piles.
Wang Chen seeks treasures in garbage heaps!
After searching for a while.
He finally found a pet shop in a very remote corner... no, it's a pet shop!
The shop sells ordinary beasts.
None of them are combat beast pets!
They are all cute, life-type beast pets!
"Ah, this..."
Wang Chen was a bit at a loss.
Sometimes, having a top-tier school isn't all good.
So much so that everything sold is top quality.
Even the lowest equipment in the outside stores is seven-star gold quality.
Each piece costs hundreds of credits.
If you sell this level of equipment in a small county or village, probably no one can afford it.
"Forget it, since I'm here, I'll look around..."
Wang Chen muttered to himself, then pushed open the shop door.
"Welcome! Are you looking to buy a life pet?"
A sweet-looking girl greeted him with a smile.
Xuanyuan Academy's accommodation conditions are excellent.
They also allow pet and beast pet ownership.
So many university students buy life pets to relieve stress by petting cute, furry animals when they're mentally exhausted.
"I'll look around first..."
Wang Chen said.
"Sure, take your time..."
"If you find something you like, let me know."
The sweet girl was also happy to relax.
Qin Fan nodded, then began to look at the cute pets.
Hmm...
If those deans, teachers, and classmates knew that Wang Chen, a Beast Master, was looking for beast pets in a life pet shop, they would be stunned.
They would definitely consider it a bizarre joke.
At this moment.
Wang Chen quietly activated his divine talent skill 'Bloodline Identification'!
He scanned the cute pets.
[Beast Pet: Long-Haired Dwarf Cat.]
[Gender: Male.]
[Level: Level 1.]
[Level Cap: Level 10.]
[Type: Life Beast Pet.]
[Bloodline Rank: First-tier Ordinary Beast.]
[Four Attributes: Strength 5; Constitution 5; Wisdom 5; Agility 7.]
[Note: Soft and cute personality, well-behaved and adorable, a favorite life pet for girls.]
[Price: 50 credits.]
......
[Beast Pet: Long-Haired Dwarf Cat.]
[This beast pet has no hidden bloodline!]
[Final Identification Result: First-tier Ordinary Beast!]
Bloodline Identification scanned, and Wang Chen looked at the result.
He directly turned to the next life beast pet.
After scanning for ten minutes, almost done with the life pet shop, and feeling helpless...
Suddenly!
[Ding!]
A special notification sounded.
Wang Chen turned sharply!
What he saw was...
An ice-blue slime.
