Oh!
Slave? Could it be... this is the soul contract from the novels?
"Roaring—(Pain!)" The silver-white flying snake pleaded with tears.
At this moment, Bai Ye felt a strange sensation in his mind, a kind of information from the silver-white flying snake, similar to how the system communicated with him, a very real feeling, right in his mind.
If it really worked, having such a powerful snake to help manage the ranch would be quite good.
Then, when he went traveling, he could also rest assured that the ranch wouldn't have any problems!
Bai Ye thought a lot in an instant, and then, in his mind, he chose 'Confirm' as if the system had given him an option.
The moment he confirmed, Bai Ye felt a special, subtle connection with the silver-white flying snake.
It felt like a fine thread, one end tied deep within the silver-white flying snake's soul, and the other end in his hand. With just a thought, he could end its life at any moment!
Bai Ye marveled inwardly, and suddenly, a message that delighted him sounded in his mind:
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for conquering an A+ level slave and completing a hidden mission, rewarding 10 million prestige points!]
Ten million prestige points! This was almost the same as the prestige he gained from a whole live stream of his magic!
One slave equals ten million prestige, so ten would be a hundred million? It was highly possible to advance to a High-level Space Magician or an Ice Magician in a short period.
Hidden missions, this was a great compensation for Bai Ye's current awkward situation where he lost a lot of prestige due to not being able to live stream magic at certain events...
You sneaky system, why didn't you tell me earlier about shortcuts like hidden missions?
Bai Ye cursed inwardly, then asked amiably, "System, are there any more hidden missions? How do I accept them?"
As if sensing Bai Ye's badmouthing, the system took a moment before replying.
[Ding~ Current hidden mission type: Conquest. Requirements: 1. Target strength minimum requirement A+ level; 2. Fierce beast with advanced spiritual intelligence; 3. Completion of the slave contract. Because the host's strength was too weak before, and it is extremely rare for fierce beasts willing to sign a slave contract and become slaves, this system felt it was unnecessary to tell you...]
Too weak?
Bai Ye: ...
A+ level fierce beast? Does this mean this flying white snake is the minimum threshold?
From the three requirements explained by the system, Bai Ye judged that having advanced spiritual intelligence was a necessary condition for fierce beasts to initiate a slave contract.
In that case, this kind of hidden mission is indeed difficult to complete!
He had initially thought that if he could conquer all the livestock on his ranch, he might earn a few hundred million prestige points, but now it seemed he was overthinking it...
Bai Ye lamented the pity.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly heard fierce roars from the sky, and Bai Ye snapped back to reality.
"Roaring—(Master~ Spare me~)"
The silver-white flying snake, still entangled and torn by the firepower in the sky, looked desperate. It had already abandoned all dignity to become a slave, yet why wouldn't this monster let it go???
"Sorry, I was spacing out..."
Bai Ye smiled gently and casually withdrew the magic in his hand. The fiery ball, as dazzling as the sun and exuding a terrifying aura, slowly extinguished.
At the same time, after he withdrew his magic, he stopped attacking the silver-white flying snake, and its solidified flame body gradually dissipated.
The silver-white flying snake was now covered in scars, its huge eyes filled with tears, fear, and grievance...
When Bai Ye spoke, he used magic, producing sound waves that allowed the silver-white flying dragon to roughly understand the meaning of his words.
Wait, this monster... can understand me??
The silver-white flying dragon was instantly stunned, its pupils contracting violently. No wonder it was so angry when I spoke ill of it earlier...
"Come down."
Hearing Bai Ye's command, the silver-white flying snake's huge body suddenly trembled. It dared not disobey or hesitate, and enduring the pain, it quickly flew down from the sky.
"Roaring~ (Mas~ Master~)"
The silver-white flying snake stopped in front of Bai Ye, its massive head lowered aggrievedly. Its huge eyes were filled with tears, and its expression was fearful and uneasy...
Bai Ye's face was calm as he said, "Answer me a few questions."
The silver-white flying dragon hummed, "Roaring~ (You speak~)"
Just as Bai Ye was about to ask, two large cruise ships suddenly appeared in the distance. Many tourists on the deck were enjoying the sun and waves.
"Holy shit! Holy shit!"
Suddenly, a boy holding binoculars and looking into the distance exclaimed, pointing towards the silver-white flying dragon and Bai Ye.
"Look quickly! Over there! Over there is a massive unknown creature flying!"
The boy's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of those nearby, but many people first shook their heads and smiled.
"Unknown creature? Flying too? Are you talking about a dragon horse?"
"Haha! Kid, you've watched too much TV and movies?"
"A monster? Wait for me to get my transformation stick from my room..."
"Haha!!"
...
Everyone teased the boy, and while doing so, they also looked in the direction the boy pointed. The next moment, the expressions of the tourists changed. Although they didn't have binoculars, they could still vaguely see something white flying on the distant sea...
"Holy shit! It seems there really is something there!"
"At such a distance, you can still vaguely see it. Isn't this thing as big as the ship??"
"This... could there really be a monster??"
...
For a moment, the tourists on the deck discussed more and more heatedly, and then all the tourists on the entire deck were drawn over.
Those tourists who had binoculars took them out and looked, their faces changing drastically...
"A dragon, like a dragon!!!"
"A snake! A giant white snake, with wings!! My god!!!"
...
"Leave here."
Bai Ye saw the two cruise ships from afar. With a thought, his body floated onto the silver-white flying snake's massive head.
"Roaring~ (Okay~)"
The silver-white flying snake hummed, flapped its wings vigorously, and in an instant, it disappeared from the sea surface and flew into the clouds.
"Huh? Where did it go? Why don't I see the monster you were talking about?"
"Yeah! Where's the big snake with wings?"
On the two cruise ships, many tourists borrowed binoculars but couldn't find the silver-white flying snake.
"Did you see it wrong?"
"A mirage??"
