2: Give my egg a kiss

Su Ze was taken aback. Had his cheat code finally arrived?

But what did "Xenogeneic Soul Energy" mean?

Could it be referring to his soul power from another world?

Was it because his soul had transmigrated that the system was activated?

Before he could think further, he heard the system continue.

“This system is the god-tier gacha system. The host can obtain one chance to use the gacha machine daily to draw beast taming eggs, and these chances can be accumulated.”

“Once a beast taming egg hatches successfully, it will automatically form a contract with the host. Surplus beast taming eggs can be recycled by the system to increase the probability of obtaining a high-bloodline egg next time. They can also be consumed to increase the host's Beast Tamer level, or transferred and sold through a blood-binding ritual.”

“Upon its first activation, the system rewards the host with a starter ten-draw. Would you like to use it?”

“Use it!” Su Ze said without hesitation.

Suddenly, a massive gacha machine appeared within Su Ze's consciousness space.

Countless beast taming eggs lay peacefully inside the machine, categorized by the color and material of the shells.

Most were bronze grade and Silver grade beast taming eggs, though there were also Gold-rank, Platinum, and diamond rank eggs, albeit in small numbers.

There were even some uniquely colored beast taming eggs, their ranks unknown.

black iron beast taming eggs didn't even seem qualified to enter the gacha machine.

A number “10” was displayed above the gacha machine, which dropped to zero the moment Su Ze chose the ten-draw.

The gacha machine began to operate.

After spinning for an unknown number of rounds, a bronze-colored beast taming egg rolled out and entered the system's inventory.

Following it, more beast taming eggs rolled out one after another.

Most were bronze grade, six in total, plus three Silver grade beast taming eggs.

Although only one egg remained, Su Ze was already satisfied.

After all, most people participated in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination with bronze or Silver bloodline beasts; some even hoped to try their luck with black iron beasts.

As the final beast taming egg rolled out, it burst with a brilliant golden light.

“Whoa, I hit the jackpot?!”

“Is this the ten-draw pity drop?!”

A gold egg rolled out of the gacha machine and automatically entered Su Ze's inventory.

After Su Ze chose to retrieve the item, a glittering golden egg instantly appeared in his hand.

“Holy crap? Did you pull that out from your crotch? It's so blinding...”

Wang Zi, standing nearby, looked at the glittering golden egg that had suddenly appeared in Su Ze's hand and spoke in surprise.

However, the luster of the shell was merely the system's way of representing the rarity of the beast taming egg for the host's convenience.

A moment after being taken out of the system, it turned into an ordinary beast taming egg with light blue spots.

“This is actually real! Does that mean as long as I hatch it, I can become a Beast Tamer?!” Su Ze said in pleasant surprise.

“But... how do I hatch an egg?”

Just then, a prompt box that only he could see popped up over the beast taming egg in his hand.

“gold egg hatching conditions: Needs to be stimulated by a kiss from a beautiful woman. The higher the beauty's looks, the stronger the hatched monster will be!”

Su Ze was speechless: “This egg... is a bit improper...”

Nevertheless, he began carefully searching for someone who met the requirements.

“The higher the beauty, the better? Then it has to be you, Xu Yao!”

Su Ze looked ahead at the school beauty Xu Yao, the girl every youth in the class dreamed of.

She was tall and graceful, with skin as delicate and white as snow, and her features were as exquisite as a porcelain doll carved by the gods themselves.

In terms of looks, Xu Yao, as the school beauty, was certainly beyond reproach.

And given their relationship, such a small, not-too-excessive request shouldn't be rejected, right?

So, while everyone in the class was packing their things to go home but hadn't left yet...

Su Ze shouted loudly: “Xu Yao, come over and help me out. Give my egg a kiss!”

Instantly, the noisy classroom fell silent.

Xu Yao turned back to look at him, her face flushing with bewilderment: “???”

Surprisingly, however, she didn't seem particularly angry.

But the boys in the class were a different story; they all turned to look at Su Ze with hostile glares.

Seeing things take a turn for the worse, Wang Zi hurriedly tugged at the hem of Su Ze's shirt: “Holy crap, bro, what kind of suggestive language was that?!”

“You're desecrating the goddess! These guys in class will tear you apart, and you don't even have a beast yet...”

The fat guy sighed as if resigned to fate: “Forget it. Luckily, I'm already a Beast Tamer. I'll block them for a bit; you run fast.”

Su Ze also realized the ambiguity in his words and hurriedly tried to hold up the gold egg in his hand to explain.

“Wait, you guys don't think...”

But those sycophants, eager to show off, didn't give Su Ze a chance to explain.

A wind blade suddenly flew toward Su Ze. It wasn't very powerful, but it would definitely leave a mark.

Wang Zi, standing in front of Su Ze, suddenly yelled: “Damn! Trying to sneak attack my brother? Fat Cat!”

A silver summoning circle appeared behind Wang Zi, and a leopard cat about a meter long and as tall as an average person's calf, surrounded by flames, stepped out of the circle.

This was beast summoning, the most basic Beast Tamer skill, an ability almost every Beast Tamer possessed.

Normally, beasts lived in the Beast Tamer's beast taming space and could be summoned instantly for battle.

That Blazing Flame Leopard Cat was Wang Zi's beast, a Silver bloodline juvenile monster, level seven.

Wang Zi's current spiritual power level was also seven, just enough to fully unleash his beast's power without worrying about backlash.

The Blazing Flame Leopard Cat first gave its Beast Tamer, Wang Zi, a dissatisfied look, seemingly resentful of the name Fat Cat, then casually spat out a flame to destroy the incoming wind blade.

The one who launched the attack was Xu Yao's pursuer, Lin He, who was in the same class as Su Ze and the others.

He was thin and tall, with slightly messy hair and deep, sinister eyes.

A half-person-tall gray wolf crouched at his feet in an attacking stance, surrounded by sharp wind blades.

It was also a Silver bloodline beast, but it was a level eight North Wind Wolf.

Being one level higher made the Blazing Flame Leopard Cat a bit hesitant to fight. Seeing this, Wang Zi immediately said: “Fat Cat, give me some face in front of my brother! When we get home, I'll let you eat tuna—the whole thing!”

The Blazing Flame Leopard Cat's eyes instantly lit up, and it gracefully stepped forward to face off against the North Wind Wolf.

With bloodlines of the same rank, the Blazing Flame Leopard Cat and the North Wind Wolf refused to yield to each other's aura, but the Blazing Flame Leopard Cat was at a slight disadvantage due to being one level lower.

Wang Zi said sternly: “Lin He, you actually manipulated a beast to attack a civilian! That's a serious violation of the Beast Tamer Management Manual. Aren't you afraid of having your exam eligibility revoked?”

Xu Yao's other pursuers, seeing Lin He take the spotlight, had been preparing to make their presence known to the school beauty, but Wang Zi's words made them hesitate to act.

The Beast Tamer Management Manual was a set of regulations established by the Great Xia Beast Tamer Association specifically to restrain Beast Tamers; any violation would result in pursuit and punishment by the Great Xia Spirit Guard Army.

But Lin He didn't care at all: “Fatty, my brother is about to join the Great Xia Spirit Guard Army. You think you can scare me?”

He continued to mock: “Su Ze's spiritual power talent test was number one in the whole school. I thought he'd have been a Beast Tamer long ago, but who knew he'd be such a loser now... Heh.”

At that moment, a breeze carrying a fresh fragrance and scales swept through, instantly making both clashing beasts lower their heads in submission.

It turned out that Xu Yao had summoned her Gold-rank beast, the Azure Phoenix Butterfly, to stop the fight.

“Xu Yao, you don't need to do it yourself. I'll teach this guy who spoke so lightly of you a lesson,” Lin He said, as if seeking credit.

But what met him was Xu Yao's cold and unfriendly gaze, and the Azure Phoenix Butterfly's wings were also pointed toward him, as if ready to attack at any moment.

This chilled Lin He's heart. He remembered the rumors he'd heard before about Su Ze and Xu Yao being childhood friends.

But throughout the three years of high school, even though they were in the same class, they had barely spoken a word to each other, so the rumor had quickly been dismissed as a joke.

Then Su Ze spoke up: “Xu Yao, ignore him. Come over and help me first.”

Xu Yao immediately jogged over to Su Ze's side and asked: “Brother Su Ze... I mean, Classmate Su Ze, are you okay? As for helping... um... I...”

Her cheeks were scarlet. Kissing Su Ze's egg—how could she do that with so many people watching? Who knew Su Ze would shake his head and hold up the egg in his hand: “I'm fine. My words earlier were indeed ambiguous. I wanted you to kiss this egg, not...”

Realizing she had misunderstood, Xu Yao didn't let him finish. Blushing, she quickly leaned down and kissed the beast taming egg, leaving a faint lip print.

“Is this your beast taming egg? I've kissed it, now what?” Xu Yao asked curiously. She knew Su Ze never did anything meaningless.

Shortly after her kiss, the beast taming egg began to shake violently.

A moment later, a crack appeared in the shell, and Xu Yao leaned in curiously to look.

A tender pink turtle head poked out from the shell and opened its mouth to spit out a stream of pure water.

The stream of water arched through the air and landed right on Xu Yao's face.

This immediately caused a chorus of gasps.

This scene made Lin He, standing nearby, seethe with rage.
