After buying everything he needed and having no other immediate tasks, Lin Chuan prepared to return home—or rather, to the small villa apartment he had just rented outside the Beastmaster Association.

He opened the navigation map, logged into his Beast Master account with one click, and started the voice navigation program.

Soon, following the navigation, Lin Chuan turned left and right, passing through several underground pedestrian tunnels, finally arriving at the small villa apartment he had rented, numbered A113.

Without entering immediately, Lin Chuan carefully observed the exterior, comparing it to the other small villa apartments in the vicinity.

From the outside, there was no difference; they all had white tile walls, were modern two-story houses, and included a small high-walled courtyard. Monitoring cameras were installed at the entrance, corners, and even on the roof. Both in terms of overall visual appeal and security, they were excellent.

As for the so-called 'good location' mentioned by the task receptionist, Yu Fuqing...

In reality, it was simply relatively close to the underground corridor entrance of the combat training ground.

Well, with this condition, it truly was a good location!

Currently, it was graduation season, and everyone with a dream of embarking on the true extraordinary path of a Beast Master was doing their utmost, working tirelessly, and fiercely competing.

The independent training rooms with various professional training facilities at the Beastmaster Association were often in short supply; once one became available, it was immediately occupied by new Beast Masters who needed it.

Therefore, new Beast Masters had to rush early every day to find a training ground with suitable tools and facility conditions for their contracted spirit beasts, such as those with Wood Attribute spirit beasts going to the Photosynthesis room. Otherwise, they could only use general training rooms, and if they woke up late or were delayed for some reason, they might not even find a spot in a general training room, leaving them with only open public training rooms or training in the wild. The former might expose some unique cultivation methods, while the latter's training effect would certainly not be as good as professional training rooms.

Hmm?

Perhaps some might ask, why not occupy the rooms for overnight training? Or find scalpers to reserve spots?

Overnight training was impossible.

First, except for Ghost Attribute and a few other spirit beasts with nocturnal habits, most spirit beasts domesticated by humans had highly consistent routines with humans: active during the day and Sleeping at night. This was especially true for Baby Cup spirit beasts, who needed to prioritize sleep.

Therefore, most new Beast Masters chose to train during the day for better cultivation results.

Training at night while sleepy was not only unhelpful for the growth of Baby Cup spirit beasts but might even have adverse effects, such as lack of concentration or accidentally injuring themselves.

Secondly, training rooms also required maintenance.

If used continuously without interruption, even the highest quality training room would be scrapped in less than half a month, which would be a net loss.

Hence, the Beastmaster Association had clear regulations.

From 9 PM to 6 AM the next morning, all combat training rooms at the association were closed.

Of course, in special circumstances, such as a contracted spirit beast being a Ghost Attribute or another nocturnal spirit beast like a bat, one could apply to use the training room at night.

However, such special cases were very rare for new Beast Masters.

Bat-like spirit beasts were more manageable; although rare, they were still somewhat accessible.

As for Ghost Attribute spirit beasts, new Beast Masters capable of contracting such creatures, aside from those with protagonist-like luck, almost all came from incredibly powerful family backgrounds.

New Beast Masters who could contract Ghost Attribute spirit beasts likely had more professional and advanced training rooms at home, or could easily find other training rooms even if they didn't, and thus wouldn't need to compete with common new Beast Masters at the Beastmaster Association for space.

As for scalpers reserving spots?

The Beastmaster Association also had regulations: to provide as fair an opportunity as possible to common new Beast Masters, any scalper activity was prohibited.

It was fine if not discovered, but if caught, the first offense incurred a fine, the second a deduction of points, and the third would result in a deduction of Beast Master reputation points, which would significantly impact the Beast Master's future development.

Before this, Guoguo and Sakura were mainly building their foundation, so Lin Chuan didn't need to go to the Beastmaster Association's training rooms. The farm environment, especially the light-gathering mirror area, was no less effective than the Photosynthesis rooms set up by the Beastmaster Association.

But from now on, starting tomorrow!

Lin Chuan would begin specialized advanced cultivation for them, which would require the use of various tools and more professional training rooms.

So, starting tomorrow, Lin Chuan also had to wake up early and compete with other new Beast Masters for training rooms.

And the small villa apartment A113, being close to the underground passage entrance of the combat training ground, provided the best convenience.

As long as Lin Chuan didn't oversleep, he was basically 100% guaranteed to get a training room suitable for the two little ones.

...

Entering the small villa apartment, Lin Chuan took a quick tour.

There was nothing to complain about; all kinds of furniture and facilities like a TV, computer, refrigerator, and washing machine were available, and they were all high-end, luxurious brands. There was even a small swimming pool. Perhaps it didn't reach the level of a presidential suite, but a five-star hotel's supreme room was probably like this. Just for these, Lin Chuan felt that the monthly rent of 300,000 star rock coin plus 30 points was well worth it.

Lin Chuan took a shower.

He didn't use the swimming pool; now was not the time to relax. He still had to work hard and strive. He would only lie down and enjoy rewarding himself after achieving another success.

He simply washed up, cleaning himself thoroughly to feel refreshed.

Changing into comfortable home pajamas, Lin Chuan went to the small study with a computer and some office supplies.

He began to check and organize the advanced cultivation nutrients he had purchased today.

Primary Flora Resilience Ointment, a two-month supply, totaling 62 bottles. Calculated at 30 days per month, the extra bottle was a buy-30-get-1-free offer.

Primary Flora Meridian Enhancer, same as above, also 62 bottles.

The former was for external application.

The latter was for internal use.

Since Flower Leaf Leaf's mouth was just a small black line and couldn't actually open to eat, the latter needed to be injected. 'Xinxin Xiangrong' provided a set of professional injection tools for free.

After organizing and confirming everything, Lin Chuan took a short break and drank some water.

Then, Lin Chuan sat down at the computer desk and began to modify and expand his cultivation plan.

Previously, due to lack of understanding, he hadn't considered various details of advanced cultivation, such as side effects or increasing watering and light exposure. Now, all these factors had to be included.

Time passed quietly.

It wasn't until 1:23 AM that Lin Chuan finished the cultivation schedule for the coming week.

Yes, only a week's schedule, because spirit beasts would grow, and as they grew, their cultivation methods had to be updated and expanded accordingly.

If Guoguo and Sakura's growth rate exceeded his expectations, this schedule might need to be revised again in less than 5 days.

He uploaded the schedule to his Beast Space Device on his watch, and also printed a paper copy using the printer next to him.

Holding the paper schedule, Lin Chuan looked at it closely.

Wake up at 5 AM.

Complete all washing and preparations within 10 minutes.

Between 5:10 AM and 5:40 AM, warm up by running laps in the yard.

From 5:40 AM to 5:50 AM, take a short break, play two rounds of building blocks mini-game to daily improve tacit understanding.

At 5:50 AM, leave the house and go to the Beastmaster Association's combat training ground to secure a professional training room suitable for Wood Attribute spirit beasts.

From 6 AM to 7 AM, the third set of Flower Leaf Leaf broadcast gymnastics.

From 7 AM to 7:30 AM, rest, eat breakfast, and play a card mini-game to improve tacit understanding.

From 7:30 AM to 8 AM, engage in internal team sparring. While skill proficiency could be improved through Reincarnation of Inheritance, it would become rusty if not used, and combat experience also needed to be accumulated.

At 8 AM, begin specialized advanced cultivation.

...

The schedule extended all the way to 9 PM, until the training rooms closed, with hardly any free time in between.

Even as the one who created it, Lin Chuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

This training intensity was more intense than his final year of high school in his previous life.

Of course, it wasn't just for Guoguo and Sakura; Lin Chuan also made a schedule for himself.

Based on his experience using Reincarnation of Inheritance over the past half-month, Lin Chuan quantified his mental power.

Full value: 100.

Inheriting skills like Photosynthesis that Sakura and Guoguo already mastered and were highly proficient in required 40 mental points.

If inheriting a new skill, such as Poison Powder, it required 60 mental points.

If it was a special material with strong emotional consciousness like Bomb Fruit, it required 80 points.

During the day, without strenuous exercise, natural recovery was 10 mental points per hour.

Strenuous exercise, such as fitness training, consumed 5 points per hour.

Sleeping 4 hours at night recovered 60 points.

Lin Chuan meticulously scheduled when to rest, when to drink energy-boosting medicine, and when to exercise, pushing his mental power to its limit. He planned to add points to Guoguo and Sakura once a day, while also maintaining his own fitness training.

The Baby Cup and most other publicly televised competitions generally did not allow Beast Masters to participate directly, but there were many other times, such as in the wild or in secret realms, when Beast Masters themselves had to participate in combat. If they didn't have a good physique, they wouldn't even be able to fight, let alone be a burden to their spirit beasts. Moreover, if they encountered an unbeatable situation, without a good physique, they might not even have a chance to escape.

After reviewing the schedule twice and confirming there were no omissions, Lin Chuan went to bed.

The next day.

According to Lin Chuan's biological clock, he should have woken up at 5:30 AM.

However, according to the schedule, Lin Chuan set an alarm and woke up at 5 AM.

Releasing and waking the two little ones from the Beast Space, Lin Chuan first checked their condition to see if they had fully recovered from yesterday's explosive long run. He also collected a batch of their physical data to send to Old Deng later.

Their condition was excellent; their state and physical data showed significant increases in various attributes after yesterday's explosive long run.

It seemed that the nutrients and energy accumulated in the two little ones from their foundational training had been fully converted.

Well, it was time to begin today's cultivation schedule.

However, before starting, Lin Chuan decided to give the two little ones some motivational 'chicken soup' to boost their enthusiasm.

Lin Chuan took out red envelopes and new Little Red flowers.

Seeing the red envelopes and new Little Red flowers, Guoguo and Sakura's little black bean-like eyes instantly sparkled, gazing at Lin Chuan with immense longing. However, Lin Chuan didn't give them yet, so they obediently stayed still.

Lin Chuan chuckled, gently stroking both of their heads. Guoguo's little head was springy, smooth, and cool, while Sakura's was softer and warmer. Both felt wonderful to the touch.

At this point, Lin Chuan slowly spoke, saying:

"Yesterday's long-distance special training, I'm sorry, but you two couldn't keep up with my bicycle from beginning to end."

Hearing this, Guoguo and Sakura's expressions froze, then turned to disappointment, like frost-bitten eggplants; both little ones wilted.

"However!"

Lin Chuan's tone suddenly shifted, drawing the two little ones' attention back.

"It was still very good that you were able to persevere through the entire process. It's worth encouraging, worth praising."

"So, you only get half the reward."

"Since you couldn't keep up with my bicycle, there are no red envelopes."

Saying this, Lin Chuan tucked the red envelopes into his pocket. In reality, there was no money in these red envelopes; they were just for Guoguo and Sakura to see.

"And as a reward for persevering through the entire process, I'm giving each of you a new Little Red flower!"

As he finished speaking, Lin Chuan stuck the Little Red flowers onto Guoguo and Sakura's chests respectively, then gently stroked their little heads again.

Looking at the Little Red flowers affixed to their chests, Guoguo and Sakura instantly snapped out of their previous disappointment.

Yi yi ya ya, ying ying ying, the two little ones chirped and jumped, incredibly happy and joyful, hugging Lin Chuan's calves, nuzzling and rubbing, showering him with affection, almost making Lin Chuan fall into their tender trap.

After their intimate cuddles with Lin Chuan.

Guoguo first clenched his chubby little fists, thumping them with a fierce demeanor.

Sakura also chirped beside him, seemingly very excited.

In short, the two little ones were full of fighting spirit and drive at this moment.

Lin Chuan didn't understand exactly what they were saying, but he could feel their emotions; they seemed to be saying that in the next special training, they would definitely achieve the full goal, and they wanted both the red envelopes and the Little Red flowers!

A smile played on Lin Chuan's lips, his face radiant.

Excellent, they've had enough chicken soup; it's time to start special training!

Lin Chuan took out the paper training schedule he had printed last night and showed it to the two little ones.

"This is your training plan for the coming week."

"Go for it! The red envelopes and Little Red flowers are waiting for you!"

Guoguo, Sakura: ...

Although they couldn't understand human writing, the dense words on the paper made the two little ones feel flustered and dizzy.

They had a strong, ominous premonition!

"You were full of fighting spirit just now, are you backing down already?"

Seeing that the two little ones seemed a bit intimidated, Lin Chuan's eyes flashed. He knew he had to change his approach to giving them 'chicken soup.' The effect of direct encouragement was weakening, so it was time for a counter-move! Watch his 'tea art'!

Lin Chuan sighed faintly, pulling out an exquisite small box from somewhere. When opened, it contained a small flower folded from pink, fragrant paper. He spoke with regret:

"Alas, if that's the case, this little pink flower I specially customized can only be given to another spirit beast."

"Oh, right, isn't Sun Yinyin about to contract a Flower Leaf Leaf on the farm? This little pink flower can be my going-away gift to her Flower Leaf Leaf."

Instantly, Guoguo and Sakura's little black bean eyes stared wide.

"Yi ya ya ya!!" (No!)

"Ying ying, ying ying ying!!" (Master, you can't give flowers to other Flower Leaf Leaves! Not even the little friends on the farm!)
