115: Chapter 115 Beast Tamer Ye Fei Joins the Team!

Chen Xi looked at her, his eyes clear and open.

He put down the cup in his hand and got straight to the point: "Because we are going Outside the Border next."

"Outside the Border?" Ye Fei was taken aback.

"That's right." Chen Xi nodded. "This year, the rules for the Freshman Challenge Tournament have changed. It's no longer a child's game of dungeon simulations, but real combat. We are going beyond the safe zone to face those bloodthirsty fierce beasts head-on."

At this point, Chen Xi's gaze became sharp: "And I saw your performance yesterday very clearly."

"Those two Flame Lizards stopped the moment they lunged at you. They feared you, or perhaps I could even say… they submitted to you."

"Although I don't know the principle behind this—perhaps there is a special scent on you, or perhaps your soul possesses some unique trait."

"But if this trait is universal, and if we go Outside the Border and those terrifying beasts, which are often level tens, won't actively attack you…"

Chen Xi extended a finger and tapped the tabletop lightly: "Then you are not just a Beast Tamer. You will be our team's talisman."

"With you there, our operations Outside the Border will be much easier."

"Is this reason enough?"

Chen Xi's words were logically sound and impeccable. After listening, Ye Fei's originally nervous expression relaxed slightly.

So, it was because of this…

Indeed, if she truly possessed the ability to make fierce beasts retreat, the value would be immeasurable.

But immediately after, a trace of undisguisable disappointment appeared in her eyes.

"So…" Ye Fei bit her lip and asked, somewhat unwillingly, "So, even you… don't know why I have this ability?"

She had originally thought that this Rookie King who had created countless miracles might know the secret of her background.

Compared to joining Nirvana, she had come today more with the mindset of seeking answers.

Seeing Ye Fei's reaction, Chen Xi was also a bit surprised.

This girl didn't even know why she had such a special ability?

So Chen Xi asked in return: "Listening to you… you don't know either?"

Ye Fei shook her head bitterly: "Yeah, I don't know why it's like this either."

"I've been very ordinary since I was little, and my parents are ordinary people too. Aside from being liked by small animals, there's nothing special about me. That scene yesterday… it scared me too."

"I thought you had figured out something, which is why you came to find me."

The room fell into a brief silence again. After a while, Chen Xi was the first to break the silence: "If you don't know, then you don't know."

"I'm a result-oriented person."

"Whether it's because of a bloodline mutation, because you're a chosen one, or because you saved the galaxy in your past life… the reason isn't important."

"As long as this ability truly exists, as long as it can provide a boost to the team and help us survive and become stronger… then it's a good ability."

After speaking, Chen Xi extended his right hand to Ye Fei, issuing the final invitation: "So, classmate Ye Fei. Since we both have things the other needs, would you like to join Nirvana?"

Ye Fei looked up at the hand extended toward her. It was a hand that could pull her out of the mire.

"Next, we will participate in the Southern Region Challenge Tournament." Chen Xi continued: "The content of the tournament will most likely be performing clearing missions Outside the Border. For ordinary students, that is a hell with nine deaths and one life."

"Although the fierce beasts Outside the Border are extremely dangerous, judging by your performance last night, this shouldn't be much pressure for you; it might even be safer than being at school."

"And…" Chen Xi paused, throwing out a bait that Ye Fei simply couldn't refuse: "I want to correct something you said just now."

"You just said your profession is Beast Tamer, and that you are a burden and your profession isn't great."

"Wrong."

"Dead wrong."

Chen Xi shook his head, a mysterious smile curling the corners of his lips: "That's because you hadn't met me before."

"In my team, there are no useless professions, only undeveloped potential."

"I am a 【Miracle Card Maker】. As long as you join, I can tailor core cards for your profession and help you complete—a profession advancement!"

"Profession advancement?!" As soon as these four words were spoken, Ye Fei stood up abruptly from the sofa, the chair emitting a harsh screeching sound.

She widened her eyes, her breathing rapid, her whole body trembling with excitement: "Really?! My profession… can actually become stronger? Can it be advanced?"

For the Professionals of this world, profession advancement is a sacred and distant term. Usually, only when breaking through major levels is there an extremely small probability of obtaining a change in profession form.

For a mediocre Beast Tamer like her, wanting to advance was simply a pipe dream.

But Chen Xi spoke so decisively.

And, looking at the configuration of the Nirvana Battle Team—it seemed inexplicable, yet they had easily taken the championship of the Freshman Challenge Tournament. Could it be… that this was all because of Chen Xi?

"Of course." Chen Xi nodded confidently: "It will allow your panel and even your attributes to receive comprehensive enhancements. It will even… cause your summoned beasts to undergo a qualitative leap."

"This is the benefit of the Nirvana Battle Team."

At this moment, the hesitation in Ye Fei's eyes completely vanished. Replacing it was an unprecedented radiance. It was a longing for power.

She didn't need to know why the fierce beasts feared her anymore.

She only knew that the man in front of her could make her stronger! He could stop her from being that useless person who could only watch Little Si get severely injured and be unable to do anything!

"I join!" Ye Fei didn't hesitate at all, shouting with a loud, clear voice.

She walked quickly to Chen Xi, extended her slightly trembling hand, and nodded vigorously: "Yes! I am willing to join Nirvana!"

Chen Xi smiled and extended the black bracelet on his wrist. Ye Fei also lifted her own white bracelet, and the two touched them together lightly.

"Beep." With a crisp electronic sound, the screens of both bracelets lit up with green light simultaneously.

A system notification rang out simultaneously in Chen Xi's mind and on the public screen of the base room: 【System Notification: Beast Tamer Lv.15, Ye Fei, has successfully joined the team!】

【Current Team: Nirvana】

【Current Team Size: (4/5)】

Chen Xi looked at that name, and the heavy stone hanging in his heart finally landed. Another teammate had joined. Next, only the final piece of the puzzle remained.
