63: City League

He was still too young.

“Calm down, calm down.”

He carried out the inspected Jewel Cat, handed it back to the woman, and patiently explained some things, such as:

“The Jewel of the Jewel Cat means it can increase its combat power through Skills, not by consuming jewels.”

“After you go back, supplement it with more materials that aid digestion.”

“Pay attention to its emotional changes in the short term.”

These were his “medical instructions.”

Li Wen couldn’t help but wonder why someone would feed a feline pet beast jewels, and as for aiding digestion because it could eat jewels, who knew what else she might feed her pet beast.

As for its emotions, you’ve tormented it like this, so aren’t you going to allow it to be upset?

After collecting the consultation fee, Li Wen said no more, simply handing over the inspection report to the other party.

After all, he charged 100,000 just for a quick look. What if she felt it wasn’t worth it? He had to show her something she couldn’t understand to make her feel, “High-class! This money was really well spent.”

The woman even excitedly shook Li Wen’s hand to thank him before leaving.

“Thank you, thank you for saving Xiao Bao. I’ll recommend you to more people around me.”

Her words were very sincere, but looking at her eyes, Li Wen always felt like he had been taken advantage of.

After she left, a second order came in that same day, but it wasn’t a recommendation from the woman. It was just someone who saw that there was a cheaper Breeder here and came to try it out.

It was a middle-aged man holding a Ring Dog. He wasn’t as anxious as the woman just now, but there was a hint of melancholy between his brows, indicating that the pet beast’s problem had been going on for quite some time.

“Little brother, can you help me see why my Ring Dog hasn’t been able to reach the entry-level?”

Ring Dog (Energy Disorder)

attribute: Water

Species: Agile Intermediate

growth level: Not entry-level

Energy Value: 99

trait: Tracking:

As a natural tracker, the Ring Dog possesses keen senses of smell and hearing, capable of tracking any subtle clue.

Skill ①: Tracking Mark

Leaves a hard-to-detect tracking mark on the target. No matter how the target moves, the Ring Dog can accurately track its location. With high proficiency, it can even track multiple targets.

Skill ②: Water Wave Impact

Mobilizes surrounding water elements to form a powerful water wave impact, dealing significant damage to enemies and applying a slowing effect, making it difficult for enemies to escape.

“Uh… how should I address you?”

“Just call me Brother Wang.” The middle-aged man felt he shouldn’t bring up seniority.

However, Li Wen felt that calling him Uncle Wang would be more appropriate, but since the other party had already spoken, he would go with it. After all, the customer is king.

“Based on my initial judgment, your pet beast should have been in this condition for a while, right?”

Brother Wang’s confidence in Li Wen’s ability grew after hearing such an accurate assessment, and he said excitedly,

“Yes, the Ring Dog hasn’t had any Energy Value growth for a long time. I’m worried it has some serious illness.”

Li Wen raised a hand, signaling the other party to stop.

“It’s not a big problem. It’s just that your breeding method has issues, which led to a bit of ‘Energy Disorder.’ I’ll examine it first, then customize a plan for it.”

In fact, Li Wen already had a plan in mind. Without a Beastmaster doing weird things, the difficulty was clearly simpler, and the problems were more normal, also providing Li Wen with a small amount of knowledge.

However, for problems that weren’t urgent, going through the process was still necessary.

“You focus too much on the pet beast’s Energy Value. While feeding too many materials, you haven’t kept up with Skill training, leading to energy disorder and preventing it from entering the entry-level.”

“First, stop feeding it for a few days. Use Material A plus Material B to clear the energy that is causing the energy disorder.”

“Then, according to the training plan I’ve set for it, appropriately increase the training intensity.”

“Oh, right, remember not to feed it just any material. For Water-attribute pet beasts, feeding fire-attribute materials indiscriminately will only have adverse effects.”

After speaking, Li Wen handed over the training plan along with the inspection results.

After paying, he left a remark.

“Little brother, you’re truly a genius.”

The next day, he earned 200,000. Such days made Li Wen feel that the future was promising, but from the third day onwards, he understood what word-of-mouth effect meant.

The increase in numbers made him feel overwhelmed, but even more overwhelming was the quality of the clients. He could tell at a glance that they were recommended by that woman.

“Little Li, why doesn’t my Little Oil Treasure like basking in the sun?”

Li Wen: “Because Brassica rapa belongs to light-sensitive long-day plants, and flowering requires sufficient dark treatment. You should consider preparing it to evolve into an Oil Flower Fairy.”

“Little Li, why does my Rolling Rock feel uncomfortable after eating milk stalagmites?”

Li Wen: “Because the internal rock attribute of Rolling Rock is acidic, contact with alkaline rock will cause an acid-base neutralization reaction, and generating gas in its stomach is naturally uncomfortable, but it’s not a big deal.”

“Little Li, why can’t my Sprout Beast evolve into a human form? I think becoming an elf girl would be very beautiful.”

Li Wen: ???

Sprout Beast: “Sprout~”

“Bad guy!”

There were countless bizarre questions like these. It just goes to show that birds of a feather flock together, and indeed, there’s no inaccuracy in that saying.

While simultaneously improving pet beasts and working as a Breeder, three months passed, and Li Wen was once again tempered by society.

Until he received a call from his homeroom teacher, asking Li Wen to return to school.

“Li Wen, City League, school in danger, return quickly.”

He didn’t even give Li Wen time to speak before hanging up, making him unable to resist complaining.

Old class, if you don’t want to hear me talk, we can just text. Also, what kind of strange notification method is this? Isn’t it too young for you?

He walked to the “laboratory” in the back to ask Lu Chen.

“Lu Chen, have you received the news?”

He clearly looked like he was still experimenting, so he must not have checked his phone. He tidied up a bit and glanced at his phone.

“Oh, it’s this City League, right? The prize is… a heart of metamorphosis.”

“This time, the organizers are really generous. Such a rare material is perfect for that top group of people who need to evolve at this stage.”

Li Wen didn’t hear anything else; only one word echoed in his ears: heart of metamorphosis.

“What? The prize is a heart of metamorphosis?”

“The top three all get one, it’s just that the other resources seem to differ slightly.”

“Didn’t your homeroom teacher tell you? It seems he still doesn’t understand.”

Li Wen looked at Sprout Beast and said,

“It seems we have a reason to participate.”

Sprout Beast, hearing that it had hope of evolving, replied,

“Sprout~”

“For evolution, charge!”

Lu Chen was indifferent, “Alright, I won’t compete with you. My Green Vine Snake can already evolve, so I won’t make it wait any longer.”

Li Wen: I actually don’t want to wait either, but there’s really no other way, is there?
