Qinghe Xiaolingtong (Tan Yan): A fun place? You've asked the right person! There's no fun place in Qinghe City that I don't know about.
Qinghe Xiaolingtong (Tan Yan): There aren't any circuses or anything like that, but would you like to come watch a flying performance competition?
Qinghe Xiaolingtong (Tan Yan): Speaking of which, Li Zeyu, the young master of Blue Feather Airlines, will be participating in this flying performance competition.
Qinghe Xiaolingtong (Tan Yan): You don't know Li Zeyu? He's also a new Beast Master graduating this year. Qinghe City has countless genius Beast Masters, and Li Zeyu can steadily rank in the top three, most likely even first. His initial spirit beast is a Mutated Blue Feather Eagle with a General Grade Upper bloodline, already cultivated to level 15.
Beast Master information is confidential, but if one frequently appears in public, often participates in various Baby Cups, and often battles others.
Then, it's inevitable that their specific situation will be observed by others.
Li Zeyu, the young master of Blue Feather Airlines, as mentioned by Tan Yan, was exactly like this. Just his identity as the young master of Blue Feather Airlines was enough to garner attention, plus he effortlessly, like slicing melons and dicing vegetables, dominated a large Baby Cup and won the championship. His spirit beast information had long been figured out by others.
Qinghe Xiaolingtong (Tan Yan): Level 15, even if he's backed by Blue Feather Airlines, this leveling speed is too outrageous, and it's a General Grade Upper bloodline. How can we common Beast Masters possibly compete with that?
Level 15? A Mutated Blue Feather Eagle with a General Grade Upper bloodline.
The bloodline rank of a spirit beast determines its growth potential and ultimate growth limit, but it does not represent actual combat power.
Actual combat power usually depends on the spirit beast's actual level, attributes, mastered skills, and proficiency, etc. The influence of bloodline rank does exist, but its impact is relatively smaller compared to other factors.
Of course, if the bloodline rank difference is too large, for example, a Wang (King)-Rank bloodline and a Soldier-Rank bloodline spirit beast, then even at the same level, the Soldier-Rank bloodline spirit beast will be completely dominated.
However, a General Grade Upper bloodline is not so strong as to be exaggeratedly irresistible. It will have an advantage, but it's basically impossible to completely overwhelm a Soldier-Rank bloodline of the same level.
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Guoguo and Sakura should be able to fight, right?
After all, the proficiency of both little ones' skills has already been raised, and the simplified version of their skill build is nearing completion.
Shield stacking plus three-stage tank mode.
Based on the various spirit beast battle videos he watched, Lin Chuan inferred that the opponent would most likely not be able to break through Guoguo and Sakura's shield stacking plus three-stage tank mode.
Hmm, as long as they can withstand the damage, then no matter who the opponent is, Lin Chuan is confident he can wear them down!
Qinghe Xiaolingtong (Tan Yan): I heard that he contracted a second spirit beast two days ago. I don't know exactly what it is, but there's a rumor its bloodline level is Shuai Grade.
Shuai Grade bloodline?
Lin Chuan became serious, clearly feeling the pressure.
If it's a Shuai Grade bloodline, and if it's at the same level as Guoguo and Sakura, it should be able to break through Guoguo and Sakura's current shield-and-heal system.
It seems the shield isn't thick enough; I need to stack more. The heal isn't strong enough; I need to add more.
Intensive training cannot stop. After a good rest tomorrow, I'll resume high-intensity intensive training the day after tomorrow!
Hmm, let's talk about intensive training later.
Since he promised the two little ones that they would immediately go on vacation once they achieved their goal, Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't break his word.
The time was 2 PM. Lin Chuan directly checked out of the sunroom and took the two little ones back to the rented villa apartment.
After a short rest, washing up, and changing into dry clothes, Lin Chuan took the two little ones out.
The flying performance competition that Tan Yan mentioned in the Blue Penguin software was scheduled for tomorrow morning, located in Qinghe City Commercial Park District 3, about a two-hour bicycle ride from the Beastmaster Association. However, calling a Blue Feather Airlines would be very fast.
Hmm, that's for tomorrow morning.
As for now, Lin Chuan mainly took the two little ones to play, purely to play.
And also to go shopping to see if he could find any good skill materials by chance.
First.
Lin Chuan took the two little ones to the Children's Paradise.
They experienced almost all the amusement facilities: merry-go-rounds, bumper cars, and the Ferris wheel.
Unfortunately, Guoguo and Sakura's mouths were just small black lines and couldn't open to eat.
It would be great if they evolved into Flower Spirit; they would be more humanoid and have mouths that could open to eat.
At that time, buying two sweet ice cream cones or cotton candy, that's how you get the atmosphere of a children's park, this is simply the best combination to charm children.
The Children's Paradise trip ended.
Lin Chuan then took the two little ones to the cinema next door to watch a movie.
"Phantom Thief Jewel Cat"
The movie was about a jewel cat stealing gold, silver, jewels, and precious spirit beast props everywhere. The police department repeatedly failed to catch it. Finally, with the help of a professional detective Beast Master dispatched by the Beastmaster Association and his spirit beast, a watch dog, the police successfully caught the jewel cat. After some interrogation and investigation, it was discovered that the reason the jewel cat stole was to earn money to treat its Beast Master, who was seriously ill and bedridden.
The plot was really cliché. Lin Chuan said he was so sleepy he wanted to sleep, so he simply dozed off.
While Lin Chuan was like this, Guoguo and Sakura were completely immersed in the movie, watching it with teary eyes and surging emotions.
When the movie ended, Lin Chuan woke up from his nap.
He found Guoguo and Sakura hugging his calves, making 'yi ya yi ya ying ying ying' sounds, looking very anxious yet very eagerly expectant, their little black bean eyes shining brightly as they stared at him.
What's going on?
Lin Chuan carefully used the two little ones' body language and his contract to perceive their emotions, inferring what they wanted to express.
A moment later.
Lin Chuan's eyebrows twitched wildly.
He hoped he had misjudged and not correctly interpreted Guoguo and Sakura's current meaning.
However, Lin Chuan observed more carefully and then actively asked for confirmation. Guoguo and Sakura nodded, indicating he was correct.
Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.
What Guoguo and Sakura just said was...
"When you, Master Brother, fall ill, we will also steal things to earn money to treat you."
"So, Master Brother, when will you fall ill?"
Lin Chuan: ...
My goodness!
What's wrong with these little devils now!?
Are these still my spirit beasts!
I shouldn't have brought the two little ones to watch this terrible movie.
Corrupting children, report, report!
No sooner said than done, Lin Chuan immediately gave "Phantom Thief Jewel Cat" a 1-star bad review on Dazhong Dianping.
After the movie, it was already 6 PM. Lin Chuan found dinner nearby.
Then, it was time for Lin Chuan's favorite part.
To see how lucky he was today!
He had washed his face several times and even used facial cleanser before going out. His face should be fair to rosy by now!
So, today, he should finally be able to pick up a few good bargains, right?
Taking Guoguo and Sakura, Lin Chuan began to browse various Beast Master shops nearby.
No matter big or small, new or old, as long as they sold low-end, trashy spirit beast materials that could only be used as decorations, Lin Chuan would go in and browse. Occasionally, store clerks would curiously ask him why he didn't buy functional spirit beast items and what he bought this trash for. Lin Chuan would always say it was for his two little darlings as toys and decorations.
Although they didn't understand why Lin Chuan said that—weren't these things used to take them on dream adventures to learn new skills? However, they were always very happy during dream adventures, and even happier when they learned new skills and improved skill proficiency. So, Guoguo and Sakura also made joyful sounds, acting as if they really liked these trashy material trinkets.
The time reached 8 PM.
Just when Lin Chuan thought he hadn't found any good bargains again today, that it was another day of bad luck.
In a very old, probably roadside Grocery Store type of private Beast Master shop, Lin Chuan discovered a skill material that moved him so much he almost jumped up.
It was a gray-black bow tie.
"Oh? This is... this one, this was left by my grandpa's Bear Xiaowan."
The shop assistant was a small girl with pigtails, a petite figure, and a floral dress. She was clearly less than 16 years old, looking to be under 10, probably still in elementary school.
Hmm, she was probably helping her parents temporarily watch the shop.
Seeing the gray-black bow tie in Lin Chuan's hand, the little girl paused, then recognized it.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately tensed up.
Left by grandpa's Bear Xiaowan?
This couldn't be a relic, could it?
If it wasn't for sale, thinking of missing out on the inherited skill within, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight from the discomfort.
Seemingly noticing Lin Chuan's tension, the little girl shook her head.
"It's not a relic. This thing isn't worth much money."
"Perhaps you, big brother, are not very clear, but spirit beasts like Bear Xiaowan love all kinds of small ties, especially those made from their naturally shed fur."
Of course, Lin Chuan knew about Bear Xiaowan.
After all, it was a common spirit beast, but not one that an average family could afford to raise.
Bear Xiaowan, Earth attribute, a spirit beast with a General Grade Middle bloodline.
It looked very cute, resembling a fusion of a panda and a raccoon from his previous life, leaning more towards a raccoon. It was a spirit beast highly sought after and loved by Beast Masters.
Its overall abilities were average, with no obvious flaws, and it could learn a great many skills, covering a wide range of attacks. It was hailed as one of the best initial spirit beasts for common people.
Lin Chuan knew these basic facts.
However, did spirit beasts like Bear Xiaowan like small ties?
Especially small ties woven from their own shed fur?
Lin Chuan didn't know about these things. It was also possible that the little girl's grandpa's Bear Xiaowan was very special, at least Lin Chuan had never heard of other Bear Xiaowan having such a hobby.
"Just like my mom loves to buy all kinds of high heels, grandpa's Bear Xiaowan collected its shed fur every year and made hundreds of small ties. This one should be one of them. I don't know how it ended up here."
The little girl continued.
She then looked at the gray-black bow tie in Lin Chuan's hand.
"If your Flower Leaf Leaf likes it, big brother, just take it. This thing isn't worth much money."
"Hmm, but, um, big brother, can I hug your Flower Leaf Leaf?"
The little girl poked her fingers, embarrassed.
In terms of cuteness, Flower Leaf Leaf was also no less than Bear Xiaowan.
Lin Chuan smiled and nodded. How could he not agree to such a small request? He gestured to Guoguo and Sakura.
The two little ones were very clever at this moment.
They immediately ran over, rubbing against the little girl, tickling her and making her giggle non-stop.
Thus, Lin Chuan successfully obtained this bow tie with an inherited skill.
Two minutes later, the little girl had hugged enough and reluctantly let go of Guoguo and Sakura.
Although the little girl said she didn't want money and only asked to Hao Bao Guoguo and Sakura, Lin Chuan still paid, after all, the marked price wasn't high, only 10 star rock coins. He wasn't so stingy as to haggle over that little money.
The little girl, however, firmly refused, stating that what's said is said, like spilled water, how could it not count? If other children knew, they would look down on her, the big sister.
Big sister?
Lin Chuan was still wondering when the little girl's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something.
"How about this, big brother, you help me with another favor, as a trade. This bow tie is the trade item."
"It's a very simple and easy favor, something you can do in a few seconds."
The little girl said, looking as if she was afraid Lin Chuan would refuse.
Lin Chuan glanced at the bow tie he was still holding, but he didn't immediately agree.
After all, even a very simple favor could potentially violate ethics or something, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to agree immediately.
Seeing Lin Chuan's silence, the little girl immediately pouted.
"You tell me first, what kind of favor. If it's appropriate, I'll help." Lin Chuan said.
Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately showed a happy smile.
Then, she suddenly looked around slyly, especially towards the inner room of the shop. Finding that her parents were still organizing the warehouse and not paying attention to them, the little girl quickly took out a test paper from her cartoon backpack, which was placed nearby.
"Big brother, please sign for me, please."
The little girl secretly handed the test paper to Lin Chuan and pleaded sweetly.
Signature?
Lin Chuan was puzzled. He wasn't some famous person; what use was his signature?
Could it be that his achievement as the Flower Leaf Leaf Cup champion and his reputation as Milk Tyrant had already spread to Qinghe City?
Milk Tyrant.
This was the nickname Sun Yinyin and a few other busybodies gave Lin Chuan. Currently, few people should know about it.
After all, the Flower Leaf Leaf Cup was such a small Baby Cup; Qinghe City wouldn't pay attention to it. Even if someone knew, it should be the record keepers at the Beastmaster Association, not an elementary school student helping out at a shop.
Then, when Lin Chuan saw the contents of the test paper, he instantly understood everything.
Name: Xu Xiaoqing
Score: 30 points, Fail!!
Goodness, this seemingly cute and well-behaved little girl was actually a bad student!
Hmm, signing for other people's parents is unethical.
However, ...
This isn't a big deal. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Perhaps if he signs this name today, he can save this little girl, Xu Xiaoqing, from a beating, or perhaps make her get a more severe beating? Hmm, interesting.
"Sign what name?"
Lin Chuan thought for a while and finally decided to help. Otherwise, if this student Xu Xiaoqing went back on her word and refused to sell, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"Just sign your name, big brother. The teacher only asks for a parent's signature, not specifically Mom or Dad. I'll just say you're my distant cousin who suddenly came to visit."
Goodness, she's exploiting a loophole here?
With this cleverness, how did you get a score of 30? Aren't elementary school questions very simple?
But, never mind.
It's not signing for someone else's parents, but signing his own name, so there's even less of a problem.
Anyway, if it's eventually exposed, it'll be Xu Xiaoqing getting a beating from her parents, and it has nothing to do with him.
Lin Chuan unceremoniously used his previous life's handwriting, signing the two characters "Lin Chuan" in very exquisite and beautiful regular script.
Seeing Lin Chuan's handwriting, Xu Xiaoqing was even more satisfied.
She was afraid Lin Chuan's handwriting would be too ugly, and then the teacher would think she signed it herself.
Just like that, Lin Chuan and Xu Xiaoqing reached a dirty PY deal.
Lin Chuan obtained the bow tie with the skill inheritance.
And Xu Xiaoqing also got the test paper with Lin Chuan's signature, which, if handled well, could save her from a beating.
Back at the villa apartment, Lin Chuan quickly took out the bow tie.
If his judgment of the memory fragments he saw through Reincarnation of Inheritance earlier was correct.
