Chapter 221: Water-Type Beast Pets in the Dragon Palace
So, the third round was still about endangered species conservation?
This wasn't about allocating high-species pets at all.
It was clearly about finding top-notch nannies for endangered species.
Letting their own parents raise them might not even be as effective as having a top-tier breeder from the Third Bureau guide their growth.
"You're a senior Beast Tamer now, and you can contract at least 3 or 4 more pets in the future. What's the difference what you contract?" Ye Hui suggested, "The endangered species the Third Bureau protects are still of pretty high species level."
"The main thing is, they're rare, and the Bureau will provide cultivation resources, which should be very suitable for you."
"Indeed, pet cultivation is currently the most suitable thing for you." Principal Feng nodded.
Personal strength was fundamental.
Shi Yu was still in the development stage, and what he lacked most was strength. The more high-species, high-potential pets, the better.
Anyway, as a member of the Eleventh and Third Bureaus, Shi Yu couldn't possibly fail to cultivate them.
If Shi Yu couldn't cultivate those pets, few people could cultivate high-species pets.
Two top jobs!
"Do you have any favorite pet preferences? There are still some high-level Monarch race pets in the country that are in endangered protection status, and there are even some pets whose potential is enough to be considered Quasi-Overlord race pets." Chairman Ye Hui said.
"Aren't there any Overlord races?" Shi Yu asked innocently, looking up.
He realized he'd become arrogant. He looked down on Monarch races now and only liked Overlord races.
Chairman Ye Hui: "..."
Principal Feng: "..."
Chairman Ye Hui's mouth twitched, and he said, "Don't think Overlord race pets are common just because you have one."
"Generally speaking, if some Overlord race pets in the country successfully produce offspring, the Overlord cub is handed over to a huge team composed of top combat-type Beast Tamers and top breeding-type breeders, with the permission of the parents."
"They will be given the best growth environment to quickly form combat power."
"Your situation is a rare one."
"Overlord race pets have a chance to break through to the Totem level. It's impossible to easily hand them over to an individual to cultivate." Ye Hui explained.
Principal Feng picked his ear next to him. That was indeed the case. But the problem was, Shi Yu already had two Overlord race pets, one mid-level Overlord and one high-level Overlord, not just low-level Overlord. It was outrageous.
"So Quasi-Overlord race is about the limit." Ye Hui said, "In fact, with proper cultivation, there is a high probability that their growth level can break through the race limit and enter the Overlord level, which is already very good."
"Oh." Shi Yu nodded, so that was how it was.
However, Quasi-Overlord race still felt a bit lacking.
"You kid is just greedy."
"But, hehehe, actually, it's not like there's no chance to contract another Overlord race pet."
Suddenly, Principal Feng chuckled.
Shi Yu and Chairman Ye Hui both looked at Principal Feng.
"However, it's definitely not as simple as getting it unconditionally."
"Are you referring to..." Chairman Ye was taken aback.
"Have you forgotten the cooperation project between the First and Third Bureaus?" he said.
"In the Totem Era, most humans were containers for the growth of Totem citizens. In fact, in the Beast Taming Era, in countries dominated by humans, this model still exists." He looked at Shi Yu, explaining to him.
"The lifespan of pets is far higher than that of humans, so some Totem Guardian Gods who are close to humans are still willing to give their offspring to excellent humans to raise, similar to 'marriage'. This extends the bond between the two parties, and at the same time, allows the descendants to have a greater chance of breaking through the race limit."
"However, their selection of Beast Tamers for their descendants is very strict and requires multiple tests. Many Guardian Gods who have good relations with the First Bureau have Overlord race and Monarch race descendants, who have integrated into human society through this method."
"The First and Third Bureaus have reached an agreement to help some Guardian Gods take care of their cubs. After all, some Guardian Gods prefer to have a nurturing-type Beast Tamer cultivate their descendants instead of giving them to a combat-type Beast Tamer. Therefore, members of the Third Bureau are very popular with some Guardian God forces."
Ye Hui said, "Are you saying that the Third Bureau should give Shi Yu a trial spot..."
"That's right."
Principal Feng looked at Shi Yu and said, "You know about Dragon Palace City, right? It has been friendly with humans since ancient times and has stood on the human side in many Totem Wars. It is the Guardian God of the East Wasteland Ancient Country's sea territory."
"Dragon Palace City has had contracts with humans since ancient times and will hand over some Dragon Palace City citizens to human Beast Tamers to raise."
"There, as long as you are good enough, contracting an Overlord cub is not impossible."
"Under the command of Dragon Palace City, various Dragon Races, Mermaids, Sea Serpents, Water Elemental Lives, and many Overlord forces are attached there. It can be said that there are unlimited opportunities." Principal Feng said with emotion, "Qing Yi's Mermaid Princess was contracted from the forces under Dragon Palace City."
"The Dragon Palace Banquet, held every five years, will begin in a few months. At that time, many human forces will go to 'visit' with 'sincerity'. You can understand it as taking 'betrothal gifts' to 'propose marriage'. If both parties are satisfied, it is not impossible to bring back an Overlord cub."
"If you're interested, have the Third Bureau prepare more 'betrothal gifts' that the Dragon Race likes. The chances are very high. The main thing is, didn't the Butterfly God give you a Sea Dragon token? It's a testament to the friendship with Dragon Palace City!" Principal Feng said.
"The Sea Dragon of Lin Feng's legend is currently one of the most powerful Dragon Races in Dragon Palace City. With this token, the treatment you receive there will definitely not be something ordinary Beast Tamers can enjoy."
Ye Hui was shocked beside him and said, "What? Shi Yu also has a token from Dragon Palace City?"
Principal Feng nodded, "Yes, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have suggested that Shi Yu go to Dragon Palace City. After all, the requirements there for Beast Tamers are too high. I'm afraid they wouldn't look favorably on a telepathy talent, even if he can listen to the voice of history and obtain Overlord race cubs. But if there is this relationship with the Butterfly God and Sea Dragon, Shi Yu might have a chance to obtain the cultivation rights of the Overlord race!"
Both of them looked at Shi Yu.
That was great.
Did he have the confidence to bring back an Overlord race cub?
Shi Yu: "..."
"For the Overlord race cubs in Dragon Palace City, potential is actually secondary. The most important thing is the connection between the two parties."
"It represents the friendship between the Beast Tamer and Dragon Palace City."
"As a behemoth-level force in the ocean, the position of Dragon Palace City in the ocean is unshakable. Many ferocious sea beasts, sea demons, and sea monsters are unwilling to provoke Dragon Palace City. They are the overlords of the sea. If you contract the descendants of important members of Dragon Palace City, in a sense, you will have an ocean pass. Basically, no sea beasts will dare to stop you from walking in the ocean."
"Now you know why Qing Yi contracted a Mermaid Princess. The Merman lineage also belongs to Dragon Palace City. In this way, even if she leaves Dong Huang, she will have great security in dangerous sea areas. Exploring ocean relics will be very convenient, and she will even be protected by Dragon Palace City."
Shi Yu: "!!!"
"It doesn't matter if I'm riding on someone's coattails. The main thing is, I just happen to be missing a water-type pet."
"When does the Dragon Palace Banquet start? Do I go by myself or is someone taking me?" he asked.
He was originally thinking of making the fifth one a mechanical pet, but now that he heard this, a water-type pet wasn't bad either???
After all, he was going to travel abroad in the future.
It wouldn't hurt to ride on Dragon Palace City's coattails in advance.
Just as Principal Feng said, with the Third Bureau, the Eleventh Bureau, and the Butterfly God token, these multiple relationships, it didn't seem too difficult for him to ride on the coattails of a certain Overlord race in Dragon Palace City.
Maybe, he could even ride on the coattails of a certain Totem and successfully join the First Bureau...
Moreover, it just so happened that Buggy also had the Dragon Pearl issue to inquire about in Dragon Palace City.
It seemed that this Dragon Palace City was a must-go.
[Wait! Could it be this time that Buggy gets together with a certain dragon?] Shi Yu was shocked.
"Are you interested?" Principal Feng smiled.
"A little." Shi Yu said.
Principal Feng looked at Ye Hui.
Chairman Ye Hui pondered and said, "If that's the case, the Third Bureau will definitely fully support Shi Yu."
Principal Feng looked at Shi Yu and said, "The 'Overlord Sea Legend' will lead the team to participate in the Dragon Palace Banquet. The specific details will probably only be known closer to the banquet time."
Overlord Sea Legend... Shi Yu knew him. He was one of the Dong Huang titled Legends, one of the top combat powers in Dong Huang, someone who could wrestle with Totems. Weaker Totems were even unwilling to fight him, fearing his trump card pet. After all, he was known as the strongest water-type in Dong Huang.
His trump card pet was a mutated Kun.
It belonged to the space and water dual-system.
The race level was Quasi-Mythical race, similar to Little Chi Tong.
Its body was a small world that could devour everything.
A Kun from the start, evolution relied entirely on devouring.
It was even said that in battle, this Overlord Sea Legend could temporarily have the giant Kun devour himself and other pets, allowing it to gain the power to suppress ordinary Totems.
With him leading the team... there was no need to worry about safety.
What kind of pets could he encounter in the ocean... Shi Yu looked forward to it.
Dragon Palace City was a major force in the ocean.
It wasn't that just because it was called Dragon Palace City, there were only Dragons.
In addition to purebred Eastern Dragons, there were also humanoid pets such as Dragon Girls and Mermaids, as well as countless sea beasts such as whales, sharks, turtles, and dolphins attached to it. There were also a pile of strange ocean elemental creatures. For a time, Shi Yu became itchy.
"By the way, if nothing unexpected happens, at this time, the news of you, Shi Yu, being the Beast Tamer of the Imaginary Butterfly, is probably about to spread throughout the country." Chairman Ye Hui suddenly looked at Shi Yu.
...
This day.
The Breeder Conference was held in the Imperial Capital.
The online discussion about the Breeder Conference was pretty good.
However, after all, it was a competition whose process was not open to the public. The popularity was still somewhat different from the National Competition, which was open and everyone could watch the fun.
So, although the popularity of the Breeder Conference was not low, it failed to enter the top three in the entire network.
Currently, the top search was firmly occupied by Zou Tianwang, the number one person in the current club system and a top Beast Taming Master from the Dark Club.
Not long ago, he officially announced his love news, which not only did not reduce his popularity but instead greatly increased the discussion about him.
What surprised the melon-eating crowd even more was that not long after the official announcement of their relationship, the two announced their engagement time again. All of a sudden, this news was pushed to the top by the melon-eating crowd.
"As expected of me, A Zou. What is called a national idol." Somewhere, Zou Tianwang looked at the popularity of the top search and patted his shoulder with emotion. It was not easy for him to become a superstar followed by the whole nation from a poor boy in the countryside, but he liked this feeling of being followed by the whole nation.
However, before he could feel emotional for long, "Pa", the top search was pushed down.
Immediately, Zou Tianwang fell into deep thought as he looked at the news of "Shocking! The Beast Tamer of the Imaginary Butterfly is actually him!".
He opened the news. What immediately came into his eyes was an ancient photo of someone riding an Iron-eating Beast and holding a wooden sword...
The Beast Tamer of the mid-level Overlord race Imaginary Butterfly, the Iron-eating Beast Knight, Shi Yu!
The Beast Tamer of the Imaginary Butterfly, who had attracted national attention at the time, was actually a college freshman.
In an instant, the whole country was shocked.
Zou Tianwang was directly dumbfounded and couldn't believe that the guy who had snatched his and his girlfriend's hot searches twice was such a guy.
"The world is going downhill! ----"
Ancient Capital.
Ancient Capital University.
"Damn it."
"Damn it."
Crude voices came from various professional areas one after another.
Wang Ling from the Archaeology Department, Yu Shu from the Combat Department, and others stared blankly at the new headline, their noses running from shock.
They widened their eyes and looked at the news content incredulously, only feeling that they were blind.
The culprit who caused a huge disturbance in the Imperial Capital before was Shi Yu???
Was this scientific! He already had the spirit of General Mu Huiyin. Why, why was he so lucky, he even evolved an Overlord race Butterfly!
"Aren't you too calm." Seeing that the matter was finally exposed, Little Gu Master Miao Dongdong, who had been keeping this matter in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief and looked down on the classmates in the class who were holding their mobile phones and showing shocked expressions.
Just this, just this, just this is all it is. He was the first to know!
Icefield City, Pingcheng District.
"Daughter, this is bad, something big happened!!!"
Lin Hongnian, the curator, ran to Lin Xiuzhu, who was feeding the Iron-eating Beast milk, with his mobile phone in shock.
"What's wrong?"
Panda Senior put down the basin of milk and the panda cub and looked at her father, at the mobile phone in his hand.
"See for yourself." He opened the news interface about Shi Yu and handed the mobile phone to Lin Xiuzhu.
Lin Xiuzhu took the mobile phone and looked at it.
As she looked, Lin Xiuzhu fell silent, her small mouth wide open.
Damn, why didn't Shi Yu tell her in advance.
Swish!
Lin Xiuzhu stood up directly and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Curator Lin asked.
Lin Xiuzhu said, "Add a new package of buying Iron-eating Beasts and giving away Green Silkworms." Lin Hongnian: ???
