10: Mountain Rock Man

Over the next three days, time passed quickly.

In a blink, it was Saturday.

During these days, Lin Shu successfully raised his Mental to 100 points.

It cost him a lot of proficiency.

After a few days of accumulation, his proficiency also reached 150.

Black Night continuously practiced its skills in the living room.

It was completely immersed in it.

He was truly diligent.

Lin Shu went out and called for the somewhat confused Black Night.

Although Black Night didn't know what was happening, as long as he was with his Master, that was the best...

They took public transportation to the Central District.

In the Central Plaza within the city center.

This was the most central place in the entire Fengdu City.

Here, skyscrapers stood tall, businesses thrived, and it was bustling with people, very lively.

It also housed the city's largest Beastmaster sales store, the Beastmaster's Home.

The Beastmaster's Home was extremely famous nationwide, ranking among the top three in the industry.

However, the one in Fengdu City was somewhat special, as it was built within a shattered Otherworld.

Therefore, the venue was enormous, and the stock of Beasts was also very large.

Inside, one could even purchase Beasts of Lord quality.

Lin Shu walked through the plaza with Black Night, who held onto his leg tightly, afraid of getting lost.

With so many people coming and going, there was indeed a risk of that if one wasn't careful.

Many people had the same purpose as Lin Shu.

Arriving at the entrance of the Beastmaster's Home, four different colored doorways appeared.

Lin Shu understood the situation here; he knew what they meant.

The Beastmaster's Home was divided into four areas.

They were allocated according to quality, from left to right.

Without hesitation, Lin Shu directly entered the door for ordinary quality.

After all, with his financial resources, ordinary was the most suitable.

Of course, if there were no suitable Beasts here, he might reluctantly try the elite quality section.

After entering the doorway, there was a brief darkness, accompanied by a wave of dizziness.

Lin Shu knew that he had entered a shattered world.

Soon, his vision recovered, and a luxuriously decorated waiting room appeared.

Stepping into the room, before Lin Shu could even speak, a staff member from the Beastmaster's Home jogged over to him.

"Hello, sir!"

"Are you here to choose a Beast?"

The person who came was a young woman with light makeup, wearing a purple and red work uniform that fit her perfectly.

With a bright smile, she did not look down on Lin Shu because of his youth; her attitude could be said to be very proactive.

Customer service was also one of the Beastmaster's Home's main selling points; otherwise, Lin Shu wouldn't have come here.

He nodded; why else would he be here?

The woman pointed to the left, leading the way and explaining as she went.

"Alright, please follow me this way."

"This area mainly features ordinary quality Beasts."

"Do you have a specific target in mind, or would you like me to introduce some to you?"

Lin Shu pulled Black Night along, following the staff member's instructions.

Upon hearing her, he thought for a moment and replied, "Not yet. I'll look at the Beasts first."

This was also normal.

"Alright, it will take a while. You can take your time choosing."

After walking for about a minute, they arrived at their destination.

Stepping out of a glass door, a winding river came into view.

Many White Brocade Fish were leaping and splashing in the river.

This scene was quite unique.

Even Black Night at his feet was very curious.

The staff member saw this and began to explain.

"Those are White Brocade Fish in the river. Their current behavior is because their breeding season has arrived."

"This is a courtship display."

How interesting.

A forest appeared in his vision, and further in the distance were towering mountains.

Many Beasts were active in the forest; most of them were free-range here.

The variety of Beasts in this place seemed quite extensive.

The size of the shattered world surprised Lin Shu.

"This place is named the Mountain and Water Realm."

"There are many Beasts unique to this realm within it."

"It is also a signature feature of our Fengdu Beastmaster's Home."

The staff member explained at his side.

Although that was said, truly good Beasts were definitely not in this area.

Saying that, she led Lin Shu into a three-story wooden cabin.

Suitable Beasts for contracting would be sought out and placed inside the wooden cabin.

The number of Beasts inside was surprisingly large.

White Brocade Fish, Red Water Crocodiles, Little Fire Mice, Venomous Snails, and so on; the variety was extensive.

There were a total of forty-six species, eighteen of which were unique to the Mountain and Water Realm.

Looking at them one by one would take too much time.

Lin Shu asked,

"I want to find a Beast that is positioned as a warrior or defensive type."

"Do you have any here?"

During these past few days, Lin Shu had already figured out the general positioning for his second Beast.

He had decided on a warrior or defensive type.

Of course, if a more excellent Beast appeared, that would be another matter.

Although such a chance was relatively small, having the panel still gave him a slight opportunity.

After all, with such a large store, the equipment was very complete.

Relying on the panel to find a bargain would also be difficult.

Regarding his question, the staff member thought for a moment before answering.

Evidently, her professional knowledge was proficient, and she had a deep understanding of the Mountain and Water Realm.

"Of course, we do. Please follow me."

Arriving at the spot, she pointed to several small stone monkeys.

The small monkeys resembled human children, just with a bit more fur on their bodies.

Looking at the small stone monkeys, their positioning as warriors was in line with expectations.

However, after their evolution into Stubborn Stone Monkeys, their combat power was relatively low.

Many people online had complained that their resistance to damage was low, and their attack power was not strong either.

Moreover, within this species, there were not a few monkeys with poor temperaments; some were very lazy and would not practice or train at all.

They would only eat and drink.

Not listening to commands was even more commonplace.

Simply put, they were one of the types that were difficult to control.

These were Beasts that general novice Beastmasters found difficult to manage.

Opening the panel, he looked at these small stone monkeys.

As expected, they were all very similar, with no surprises.

His lowest expectation was that the Beast must have a Talent.

Having a Talent indicated potential; a slightly lower quality didn't matter.

After evolution, this shortcoming could naturally be compensated for.

It seemed that seeing Lin Shu didn't speak, the staff member understood his meaning, realizing he wasn't satisfied.

"You can also take a look at the Mountain Rock Golems next door."

To the left, a basketball court-sized space was enclosed by a fence.

Monkey-sized Mountain Rock Golems resided within.

Their limbs were short but sturdy, their bodies were earthy yellow, and their facial features were rough and varied in size.

It was as if someone had drawn them with a paintbrush.

They looked like a pile of potato people.

Although they looked a bit abstract, Mountain Rock Golems were considered good among ordinary quality Beasts.

Their strength was excellent, immense.

Their bodies forged from rock also made their defense relatively prominent.

Their biggest drawback was their slow speed, which affected their overall evaluation.

They seemed very suitable for him, Lin Shu silently calculated in his mind.

He would first see if any of these Mountain Rock Golems carried a Talent.

Then he would make a decision.

He didn't know until he looked, but there really was a Mountain Rock Golem with a Talent.

Looking at the information on the panel, this second Beast was basically decided...
