6: Guanghui dog

Shaking his head to clear these thoughts, Luo Chen continued to check the content he had intended to look up on the Star Network.

As soon as he typed the words 'Radiant Hound' into the browser, a series of entries appeared accordingly.

'What combat Skills are suitable for a Radiant Hound?'

'At what age is a Radiant Hound considered an adult and ready for mating?'

'Price of a Radiant Hound'

'Evolutionary forms of the Radiant Hound'

...

Luo Chen didn't pay attention to these most-searched topics; instead, he continued editing his own search query.

'Cultivation methods for the Radiant Hound?'

Sure enough, a lot of content appeared, but as he read, Luo Chen's brow unconsciously furrowed.

'Radiant Hound: A comprehensive cultivation route from Radiant Hound to Blazing Sun Hound, guaranteeing you a spirited Blazing Sun Hound.'

Luo Chen's attention was caught by this title. He clicked in, only to find it cost ten thousand Star Credits.

He continued looking further down the page.

Things like 'Master Lu's insights on cultivating Radiant Hounds.'

'Optimal Skill combinations for Radiant Hounds,' and so on.

When Luo Chen clicked on them, they were all like the paid courses from his previous life—every single one required a fee.

After looking through several in a row, Luo Chen naturally gave up.

He didn't want to be a sucker for something on the internet when he couldn't tell if it was real or fake.

Helplessly, he could only go back to reading the Breeder techniques left to him by his father, Luo Yuheng.

A quiet night passed, and the sun once again draped over the streets of Qingyang City.

Pedestrians began to appear on the streets in groups of twos and threes. Many were Beast Masters out for early training with their beasts, while others were office workers in a hurry or energetic students.

Even though beasts ran rampant outside the city, under the protection of the City Guard, the interior remained a scene of vitality, as if they were still living in an era of peace and prosperity.

Chenyang Pet Store.

Luo Chen also woke up early. To be honest, spending the night in the shop was naturally not as comfortable as sleeping at home.

He first added food and drinking water for the several new members in the pet store, and then did a simple cleaning of the shop's hygiene.

After finishing breakfast at the nearby breakfast shop, he carried the three Fragrant Rabbits to the Transformation Pool on the second floor, letting the three little guys take another bath.

Through a Beast Master's keen perception, he noticed that the energy aura on them had become a bit richer. He nodded in satisfaction before stuffing the little rabbits back into their cages.

After finishing these tasks, Luo Chen stared at the two Radiant Hounds and the Lightning Rat, feeling a bit troubled. He was just a novice Breeder and didn't really know how to cultivate these two Types of beasts for the time being.

Normally, most Breeders belong to a profession of master-disciple inheritance. This is because each Breeder has a different area of specialization and cultivates different beasts; furthermore, different Breeders all have one or two unique tricks of their own.

Just as his father, Luo Yuheng, specialized in the Light Spirit Cat, which was the reason why Luo Chen's first beast was a Light Spirit Cat.

At least with Luo Yuheng's help, he wouldn't have to worry about the cultivation of the Light Spirit Cat before it reached the King Beast level.

Luo Chen released the two Radiant Hounds from their cages. Compared to the gentle and shy Fragrant Rabbits, the personalities of these two Radiant Hounds were much more lively.

As soon as they were out of the cages, they dashed around the shop excitedly, looking as if they had taken stimulants.

Luo Chen had no doubt that if the shop door hadn't been locked, the two of them would have run straight onto the street.

The two Radiant Hounds were about the same size, both around twenty centimeters tall.

The fur all over their bodies was a mix of yellow and white, and from time to time, a flicker of bright light would emanate from their fur.

Now, as they ran, the light on their bodies no longer appeared intermittently but became a constant glow, turning them into glowing mascots.

The current behavior of the two little Radiant Hounds was due to their inability to properly control the energy within their bodies, causing them to inadvertently use that energy as they became excited.

As a Breeder, his job was naturally to train them to control the energy within their bodies to prevent the beasts from harming owners who could not yet form a contract with them after being sold.

[race: Radiant Hound

Rank: Ferocious Beast 2-Star

Type: Light · Sunlight

State: Excited

Aptitude: Good

Skill: 1. Glowsun (Yellow Grade): The energy within the body can be converted into the form of a glow and emanate from their fur, slightly increasing the surrounding temperature.]

The data for the two Radiant Hounds was almost the same. After all, they were still young cubs; it was normal to only know one innate Skill.

Luo Chen, who had crammed some knowledge yesterday, now understood that the Aptitude of a beast is divided into several levels: Inferior, Common, Good, Excellent, Perfect, and Peerless.

Common is the most frequent Aptitude within a race, Good is the second most Common, Inferior and Excellent are equally rare, Perfect is the kind that can be sought but not easily found, and the final Peerless Aptitude is probably harder to encounter than winning the lottery jackpot.

Looking at the two little guys frolicking—even though they were just cubs, their speed was already something Luo Chen could hardly keep up with. He could only turn a pleading gaze toward Xiao Maoqiu nearby.

"Mao Qiu, make them settle down."

Receiving Luo Chen's command, Mao Qiu looked at the two Radiant Hounds running happily with an eager glint in his eyes.

Then, with a burst of speed, he accurately leaped in front of one little Radiant Hound, his right paw raised high.

'Smack!'

A crisp sound rang out.

The little Radiant Hound lay on the ground in a daze, feeling the sharp pain on its face, clearly not understanding what had just happened.

Seeing its companion's fate, the other little Radiant Hound didn't dare to run wildly anymore. It tremblingly approached the one lying down and crouched on the ground.

Others might be curious why a Radiant Hound wouldn't resist after being slapped by a Light Spirit Cat that looked even smaller than itself.

Firstly, the Light Spirit Cat was a Ferocious Beast 4-Star, while the Radiant Hound was only a Ferocious Beast 2-Star. The Radiant Hounds weren't stupid; they could sense the Rank of other beasts from their aura.

Secondly, Radiant Hounds belong to the gentle Type of beast, which is why they are listed as suitable partner beasts for children under twelve; without a master's command, they generally won't actively attack others.

Even though they didn't have a master yet, Luo Chen had already fed them twice, so he was considered their temporary master. Thus, the two little ones did not resist.

Seeing the two little ones finally quiet down, Luo Chen secretly gave Xiao Maoqiu a thumbs-up while his back was turned to the two Radiant Hounds.

Only then did he approach the two Radiant Hounds with a look of feigned pity, slowly stroking the back of the one that had been hit.

"Oh dear, does it hurt?"

Seeing its feeder, the Radiant Hound let out a somewhat aggrieved whimper.

Luo Chen pulled out two small spirit fruits from somewhere and fed them to the two Radiant Hounds.

Upon receiving the food, the Radiant Hound instantly forgot its previous grievance.

Only Xiao Maoqiu on the side looked at the scene in confusion, unsure why things had developed this way.
