Wang Teng and the others drove the car to the restricted military area where the dimensional rift was.
On the way, Lin Zhan, Liu Yan, and Yan Jinyue were very interested in the little crow. They had seen baby star beasts before, but this was the first time one appeared so close to them.
Lin Zhan was driving and didn't have time to spare. Liu Yan and the other two wanted to tease the little crow, but it didn't buy it. Not everyone had the same treatment as Doudou.
"This little fellow just hatched not long ago. It might be a little shy with strangers," Wang Teng said as he patted the little crow's head.
The little crow was very arrogant in front of Liu Yan and the others, but it was very obedient in front of Wang Teng. This made Liu Yan and the others jealous.
"Your luck is really unparalleled! Do you know how difficult it is for a star beast to recognize an owner? "Liu Yan sighed.
"Yes, it's almost impossible for an adult star beast to recognize an owner. Baby star beasts are also very rare. Hence, it's really difficult to get a star beast as a pet," Yan Jinming said sadly.
Wang Teng was a little confused. He asked, "You guys have been in the Xingwu Continent for a long time. It shouldn't be difficult for you to get a baby star beast, right?"
"You don't know about this." Lin Zhan shook his head and interrupted. "If we want to catch a normal baby star beast, of course, we can catch one. But for star beasts like the earth armor pig with limited potential, no matter how much we nurture it, it will only be a 1-star or 2-star beast at most. Also, it's not suitable to be a pet beast. What use do you think it is to us?"
Wang Teng was enlightened. Just like what Lin Zhan said, low-level star beasts like the earth armor pig were indeed very common. It wasn't difficult to catch one. However, other than its thick skin and thick flesh, which could block damage for its owner, its use was almost negligible. Who would raise an earth armor pig as a pet beast?
The weakest among Lin Zhan's group was a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. If a star beast was too weak, it would be useless if they wasted time and resources to nurture it.
Moreover, every martial artist had their own specialties. For example, Liu Yan was more proficient in Runes and firearms. As a long-range attacker, she needed a pet beast with speed that could coordinate with her or possess a certain level of attack power. That way, it could protect her in battle.
To put it bluntly, a pet beast was just a support.
Hence, it was important to have a good match. Raising a random pet beast was definitely out of the question.
"There is a kind of" Spirit Pet Contract "in the other world. If you think this little crow is suitable, you can make a contract with it." Liu Yan suddenly reminded.
"That's right. This little crow is still very dependent on you, so it should be easy to form a contract. Don't miss the best opportunity," Lin Zhan said.
"Soul pet contract?" Wang Teng said in surprise, "There's actually such a thing in the other world?"
"Haha, there are many strange things in the other world. It's just that we haven't fully researched them yet," Lin Zhan said with a smile.
Wang Teng nodded. He thought of a question and asked, "Is the Spirit Pet Contract expensive?"
"About a hundred million," Lin Zhan said casually after thinking for a while.
Wang Teng: "…"
It's easy for you to say that!
A hundred million? Can you not say it so casually? Those who don't know might think that you're talking about a hundred yuan.
Wang Teng didn't know what to say.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the restricted military area. They couldn't avoid a round of inspection, which took more than ten minutes. Then, they passed through the space crack and descended to the other world again.
[Space * 0.2]
[Space * 0.1]
[Space * 0.1]
…
He scanned the area with his spiritual power and picked up nine attribute bubbles.
Some of these attribute bubbles were brought out by Lin Zhan and the others when they just came out of the space crack. There were also some that were left behind by the previous people and hadn't disappeared.
A total of 1.6 space attribute points were added.
He looked at the attribute panel.
Space: 9.2/10000
Wang Teng couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was still a long way to go!
He didn't know how long it would take to max out the space attribute.
If possible, Wang Teng really wanted to wait here for a few days. Unfortunately, reality didn't allow him to do so.
Fortunately, this little bit of space attribute was enough for Wang Teng to use his space talent. Although it was only a very short distance teleportation, when combined with his spiritual power, it was definitely a killer move. Hehehe …
"Let's go." Lin Zhan's voice pulled Wang Teng back from his thoughts.
The few of them drove through the streets of the other world. Because it was morning, there was a hubbub of voices everywhere. It was a very lively scene.
Yong City was built by people from Earth. As a trade city, not only were there people from Earth, but there were also people from the other world.
"Every time I see people from Earth and the other world coexisting in the same place, trading and exchanging what they need, I find it hard to imagine the conflicts between the two sides," Yan Jinyue lamented.
"My silly sister, isn't this a very normal thing? Even within Earth, when there is no conflict of interest, we appear to be harmonious on the surface. However, when it comes to fighting for our own interests, no one will give in to the other. If we have to kill, we will still kill," Yan Jinming said.
"The so-called harmony is only relative," Lin Zhan said.
As they spoke, they arrived at the Jixin Martial House branch in Yong City.
"This time, you have seven days of leave. I have decided to accept a short-term mission. Not only can I hunt star beasts, but I can also complete missions. It's killing two birds with one stone," Lin Zhan said as he led the group into the main building of the martial house.
The people who knew him greeted him.
This time, no one looked down on Wang Teng. Previously, Wang Teng went to the Dark Fog Forest alone. Not only did he come back safe and sound, but he also hunted a large number of star beasts. Everyone knew that this rookie was not simple.
Martial artists had always respected the strong. If one was strong enough, they would naturally be recognized.
Lin Zhan and the others did not put on airs and responded to them one by one. Even if some of the male martial artists said some harmless jokes to Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue, the two girls did not take it to heart and just laughed it off.
Lin Zhan walked in front of a machine and opened the internal mission platform of Jixin Martial House. He browsed through it with Wang Teng and the others.
After looking for a long time, Lin Zhan finally clicked on a mission description.
"Assist the dwarves of Red Leaves Hills in cleaning up the increasing number of Gale Mantises. The mission is based on the number of Gale Mantises killed. The more Gale Mantises killed, the higher the reward. (Note: A 3-star Gale Mantis King is suspected to exist.)"
"What do you think of this mission?" Lin Zhan asked for everyone's opinion.
"Dwarves? The wine they brew and the weapons they forge are all good stuff. If we can be on good terms with them, it definitely won't be a bad thing. I have no objections, "Yan Jinming said with a smile.
"The Gale Mantises don't seem to be easy to deal with," Yan Jinyue said.
"It's okay. This time, I got a 4-star rune machine gun. I'll show you what full firepower coverage is. When the time comes, you can count on me," Liu Yan said generously.
"Wang Teng, what do you think?" Lin Zhan turned and asked Wang Teng.
"I have no objections. It just so happens that I'm also very curious about the place where the dwarves live."
Wang Teng said this, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking, "I can also pick up wind element attributes while I'm at it."
Among all his Forces, only his wind element Force was still at 1-star. He had to seize the opportunity to improve it.
After all, wind-element Star Beasts were rare. It seemed that his luck was good this time. This mission was actually a group of wind-element Gale Mantises.
"Okay, this will be it," Lin Zhan said.
Everyone entered their respective warrior identification numbers into the machine and accepted the mission as a team.
Then, they went to the parking lot and drove out a heavy armored motorcycle.
"Let's go to the Talisman Treasure Pavilion first and buy Wang Teng a soul pet contract," Lin Zhan said.
The others didn't have any objections.
Lin Zhan drove the motorcycle around the city and finally arrived at the busiest commercial street in Yong City. He stopped in front of a building with a strange style.
This building had the architectural style of Earth Star, but it also had the architectural style of the Other World. At first glance, it looked a little strange, but after looking at it a few more times, it seemed to have a different kind of beauty.
Sometimes, one couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the architects.
"This is the Talisman Treasure Pavilion!"
Wang Teng looked at the quaint building in front of him and said curiously.
"Yes, you might not know, but this Talisman Treasure Pavilion was jointly established by Jack Ma of Earth Star and the Redbud Chamber of Commerce of the Other World. It is also the first alternative 'company' jointly established by both sides of Earth Star and the Other World. It played a great role in the further cooperation between both sides. Jack Ma is really a powerful person," Lin Zhan said with emotion.
Wang Teng had a strange expression. "Jack Ma's business has already reached the Other World?"
The few of them walked into the Talisman Treasure Pavilion. It was dazzling inside, almost blinding Wang Teng's eyes. A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam came up to them.
"Hello, I am the shop assistant, Xiao Ya. If you need anything, you can tell me," the cheongsam beauty said with a beautiful smile.
"I need a soul pet contract," Wang Teng said.
The cheongsam beauty immediately realized that the real buyer was the young man in front of her, and judging from his appearance, he should be a warrior. She didn't dare to be negligent and said respectfully, "Okay, please follow me to the second floor."
She led the way in front, leading Wang Teng and the others through the lobby and along the wooden stairs to the second floor.
There were many closed cupboards on the second floor, storing all kinds of precious items. There were secret manuals of Force cultivation techniques, Force combat techniques, Runes accessories, Runes weapons, and so on. There were all kinds of things.
The cheongsam beauty brought them to the reception area and poured tea for them. She said, "Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I have already informed our manager. He will be here soon. Only he has the authority to take out the items you want from the cupboards."
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked over. Behind him was another cheongsam beauty carrying a tray.
"My surname is Li. I am the manager of this Talisman Treasure Pavilion. I am very happy to meet all of you." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the cheongsam beauty behind him to put the tray on the table. He then said with a smile, "This is the soul pet contract you want. You can check the goods first."
There was a scroll on the tray. After Lin Zhan opened it and glanced at it, he nodded at Wang Teng.
"How much is the price of this soul pet contract?" Wang Teng asked.
"130 million!" Manager Li said with a smile.
"Isn't that a bit expensive?" Wang Teng said.
"Not expensive, not expensive. This soul pet contract was made by the famous Runemaster Master Spirit Xu of the other world. Its quality is not something an ordinary Runemaster can compare to." Manager Li said patiently.
"Master Spirit Xu!" Lin Zhan and the others were shocked.
He hurriedly picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully, especially at the bottom right corner of the back of the scroll. He identified it with Liu Yan and the others and said, "It is indeed Master Spirit Xu's masterpiece. In this way, the price is not considered expensive."
"Of course. Our Talisman Treasure Pavilion has always operated with integrity. All of our goods are clearly marked with prices. We will never randomly bid," Manager Li said proudly.
"Then 130 million it is." Wang Teng was too lazy to bargain and directly nodded.
Previously, he had earned 580 million from hunting star beasts alone. Later, he spent 270 million to buy the house in Deer Garden. He still had 310 million left, which was more than enough.
Therefore, he was not afraid at all and spent 130 million just like that.
Rich people could be so willful!
Manager Li's eyes lit up when he heard that he wanted to buy. He took out a card reader from behind him and asked in an even gentler tone, "Do you want to pay with raw stones or just swipe your card?"
"You can pay with raw stones?" Wang Teng was slightly stunned.
"Raw stones are the common currency used by the martial artists in the other world. Most of the martial artists in our world also trade like this," Lin Zhan explained.
"Just swipe my card. I don't have enough raw stones." Wang Teng took out his bank card and handed it to Manager Li.
A few minutes later, Wang Teng and the others walked out of the Talisman Treasure Pavilion.
Manager Li sent them to the door and said with a smile, "We welcome you all to visit again."
…
"Done. Let's go to Red Leaves Hills!" Lin Zhan drove the heavy armored vehicle and rushed out of Yong City's huge city gates.
Wang Teng sat in the back seat and studied the soul pet contract in his hand.
"How do I use this thing?"
"Do you see the two Runes on it? One is big and the other is small. You just need to drip your blood and Little Crow's blood on it," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng nodded. He took a drop of his blood and a drop of the little crow's blood. Then, he dripped them on the two complicated rune patterns, one big and one small.
The Runes flashed with a red light, and the two Runes floated up. The big one landed in between Wang Teng's eyebrows, and the smaller one entered Little Crow's head.
In an instant, Wang Teng felt a magical connection between him and the little crow. He could even vaguely feel some of the little crow's thoughts and emotions.
"So magical!"
He closed his eyes and carefully felt it. Suddenly, he was surprised. "This is?"
When he closed his eyes, it was as if he had changed his perspective. It was as if he was looking at the outside world through Little Crow's eyes.
"The soul pet contract has this kind of effect?" Wang Teng took a deep breath, his heart full of doubts.
After thinking for a while, he asked calmly, "Captain, do you know what the soul pet contract does after signing it?"
"The function should be to feel some of the soul pet's thoughts and emotions," Lin Zhan said.
"Other than that, is there any other function?" Wang Teng asked.
"Other functions? I haven't heard of any other functions. Why? Did you discover something? "Lin Zhan laughed.
"Not really. I just wanted to ask so that I don't have to guess blindly," Wang Teng said.
"The soul pet contract is to establish a connection. Being able to feel the soul pet's thoughts and emotions is already very powerful. There can't be any other function," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask anymore.
