61: Moving to a new home
Two small kittens, one black and one white, stood safely on the carpet, staring at each other and sniffing each other's scent.
By sheer chance, Bai Ye had managed to contract two beast pets using a single beast taming space.
Even a Ninth-Tier Beast Tamer could only contract nine beast pets.
Although he had only squeezed two into one beast taming space, this was undoubtedly a groundbreaking beginning.
If, in the future, every one of his beast taming spaces could contract two, or even more, beast pets... now, it was Fantasy Time.
"Meow?"
"Meow~"
The two Phantom Cats cried out in unison, pulling him back from his fantasy.
Bai Ye snapped back to reality, looking at the two Xiao Hei and white fellows before him, a brilliant smile spreading across his face.
"How about you two call yourselves the Black Snow Meow Combination!"
"No, that sounds terrible."
"Let's call you the Black and White Fiends."
"Forget it, your original names sound better."
Bai Ye hugged the two cats and giggled foolishly in the living room for a long time before finally calming down.
His secrets were truly piling up; any one of them exposed could bring him danger.
In the shadows, the Insect Nest Organization was still wandering around somewhere unknown.
He looked at the two small kittens again.
"Come on, Xiao Hei, Phantom Snow, let's try again."
Excitement flickered in Bai Ye's eyes; he wanted to see the Body Integration process one more time.
"Body Integration!"
Xiao Hei tilted her head, while Phantom Snow sighed in a very human-like manner, walked up to Xiao Hei, and pressed her Treasure Orb against her forehead.
The bodies of the two Phantom Cats lit up again, transforming into two streams of light, one black and one white, intertwining in mid-air and perfectly merging into one.
The black and white dual-colored Fusion Phantom Cat appeared once more.
"Huh, it seems there's also an Evolved Form. Let me check."
[Tai Chi Celestial Cat]
[Aptitude: Overlord Initial]
Next, he looked at the Evolution Conditions.
Hmm, hundreds of King-level Materials. Better to just wash up and sleep early.
However, being unable to evolve further for now doesn't prevent him from testing the Fusion Phantom Cat's true strength and, while he's at it, acquiring her Skills and Talents for himself.
Where should he test it?
The first place Bai Ye thought of was the “Jinglian Club” he had visited last time.
But the moment the thought popped up, he immediately rejected it.
He couldn't go there.
Last time, he only tested Xiao Lan and Phantom Snow, and they ruined two of the club's targets.
The current Fusion Phantom Cat's strength was far more than just a little stronger than before.
Although the club did have Elite Rank targets, if the Fusion Phantom Cat truly let loose during testing, wouldn't she end up dismantling the entire club?
Paying for the damage was a minor issue; the key was attracting too much attention.
The matter of having Two Souls in One Body must absolutely not be known by anyone.
The Fusion Phantom Cat's appearance change was too drastic. Last time, he could still BS that the "black cat" had gotten a makeover.
This time, it was a cream-colored cat that came with its own starlight special effects.
He currently had sixty million alliance coins, barely enough to be called a minor nouveau riche.
There were also Parts from the Mechanical Tyrant that hadn't been sold yet.
He needed a private place where he could mess around however he wanted.
"It looks like it's time to move houses."
Bai Ye stroked his chin.
Before, he was poor and had no choice but to squeeze into that small, dilapidated apartment of a few dozen square meters.
Now that he had money, he naturally had to improve his living environment.
Buying a villa with a large basement or its own Training Ground would make it much more convenient, whether for training beast pets or researching something illicit.
He decided to act immediately.
Seeing that Bai Ye wasn't playing with her, the Fusion Phantom Cat quickly reverted back into the two Phantom Cats.
Bai Ye pulled out his phone and immediately searched online for the most high-end Real Estate Agency in Luoxue City.
A company named Jinding Real Estate came into his view.
This company specialized in buying and selling high-end villas and estates, and their clients were either rich or powerful, with excellent confidentiality practices.
Bai Ye immediately dialed the 24-hour contact number listed.
"Hello, this is Jinding Real Estate. I am Account Manager Wang Lin. How may I help you?"
A mature and intellectual female voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hello, I want to buy a house."
Bai Ye got straight to the point.
"Alright, sir, may I ask if you have any specific requirements regarding location, size, or layout? Our listings cover the entire Luoxue City, including top-tier luxury homes in the city center and quiet estates in the suburbs..."
"I have only one requirement."
Bai Ye interrupted her.
"It must include a Training Ground sturdy enough, preferably one that can withstand a full-power attack from an Elite Rank beast pet."
Wang Lin on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned.
An Elite Rank beast pet.
Genius Beast Tamers would possess an Elite Rank beast pet in the Second Tier, but most Beast Tamers who had Elite Rank beast pets were in the Third Tier.
Thinking that the person on the other side of the phone might be a Third-Tier Beast Tamer, Wang Lin had a rough idea.
"Sir, your requirement is quite high. Villas with professional Training Grounds are extremely rare in all of Luoxue City, and the price..."
"Money is not an issue."
Bai Ye said calmly.
These four words seemed to carry a magical power.
Wang Lin's attitude immediately became extremely enthusiastic:
"Excellent, sir. Our company happens to have a Detached Villa located in the eastern part of the city, in Yunshan District, that perfectly matches your requirements."
"The villa comes with an A-Rank outdoor Training Ground built according to Beast Tamer Association standards. Even an Elite Advanced beast pet can have a fight in there without issue."
"When would be convenient for you? I can take you to see it."
This was, of course, a slight exaggeration. An Elite Advanced fighting once in the Training Ground was indeed not a problem.
But after that one time, the Training Ground would require lengthy repairs.
"Now."
"Ah? Now?"
Wang Lin was stunned again, glancing at the time. It was only five in the morning.
"Yes, right now."
Bai Ye didn't want to waste time.
"Alright, then shall we meet at the Coffee Shop at the foot of Yunshan District?"
"Yes."
Hanging up the phone, Bai Ye held the two Phantom Cats, went straight out to hail a taxi, and headed directly for Yunshan District.
He could now put either Xiao Hei or Phantom Snow into the beast taming space.
But if he wanted both of them to enter together, they had to perform Body Integration.
However, Phantom Snow didn't particularly like Body Integration, so Bai Ye would keep them outside unless absolutely necessary.
An hour and a half later.
Bai Ye met Account Manager Wang Lin at the Coffee Shop.
She was a woman in her thirties, dressed in a proper Business Suit, possessing a capable demeanor.
When Wang Lin saw Bai Ye, she blinked repeatedly, clearly surprised.
She hadn't expected the client, whose voice sounded young but whose tone was astonishingly demanding, to actually be just a Teenager.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and extended her hand with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Bai Ye, I am Wang Lin."
Bai Ye shook her hand.
"Mr. Bai, shall we go view the property now?"
Wang Lin asked tentatively.
Some clients always made special requests before viewing a property, such as having a meal or watching a movie.
But many Beast Tamers weren't so complicated; they seemed to prefer spending time with their beast pets.
"Mhm."
