82 The Beginning of Everyone’s Beast Taming?
“Alright, we were too rash today.
“Thank you, Hall Master Lin.”
The thin old man touched a black wrist guard on his wrist and a fist-sized red crystal core appeared in his hand.
The moment it saw this thing, the Fire Phoenix, who was still pretending to be sick on Lin Ye’s shoulder, immediately became energetic.
Clang!
Hearing the Fire Phoenix’s rather anxious cry, Lin Ye walked over and picked up the crystal core.
“Alright, alright. I’ll feed you when your level is higher.”
Although the Fire Phoenix’s divine beast form was at level seven, it was still only a level two “chicken” in its contact form.
If it directly ate a level 5 crystal core, no matter how special its physique was, it might be broken.
Seeing Lin Ye communicate with the Fire Phoenix on his shoulder, the thin old man tidied his emotions and looked at Lin Ye solemnly.
“Hall Master Lin, is this… really not a mutated beast?”
Before Lin Ye could speak, Su Hongcheng pointed at the little husky flame behind Su Qingqing and the Wind Sparrow that had reappeared on his shoulder and explained,
“Seniors, these are beasts. Compared to those mutated beasts that are even more savage than wild beasts, they’re completely two extremes.
“After signing a contract with humans, beasts can communicate with humans. They won’t be as bloodthirsty and violent as mutated beasts.
“Most importantly, their intelligence is very high, and many of them have powerful abilities.
“I think the two seniors I mentioned have already sensed it just now.”
After being secretly mocked by Su Hongcheng, an awkward expression flashed across the thin old man’s face.
He had indeed sensed it.
Moreover, it was the kind that ruthlessly crushed the enemy.
“So, like pets, these beasts are harmless to humans? They won’t attack humans?”
Hearing this question, Su Hongcheng did not answer. Instead, he looked at Lin Ye.
After all, all the beasts came from him.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Ye shrugged and said,
“Yes and no.”
“How so?”
“It’s very simple. Without the orders of the Beast Tamer, beasts won’t take the initiative to attack humans.”
“Not under any circumstances?”
“Exactly.”
Seeing that Lin Ye was so certain, the thin old man nodded slightly.
If that was the case, these beasts were indeed good helpers for humans.
The purpose of the Human Alliance was to unite to resist the mutated beasts and polluters.
However, very few humans could awaken their superpowers, and even fewer could grow into experts.
Therefore, humans could only hide behind the tall city walls.
If not for the fact that low-level mutated beasts were generally not very smart and could only rely on numbers to win, humans would have long died.
“Then, is there a threshold to become a Beast Tamer?”
Lin Ye glanced at this person and shook his head.
“No.”
“Or rather, the only threshold is money. However, the cheapest beast only costs 1,000 credits.”
He briefly explained the lucky draw mechanism for obtaining the first beast.
After the thin old man heard this, his eyes immediately burned as he looked at Lin Ye.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the short and burly old man.
“Why can’t it be free? Isn’t this too unfair to those poor people who have drawn powerful beasts but can’t afford it?”
The thin old man glared at his old friend.
“If you don’t understand, don’t speak!”
“If he really gives them all away for free, there will be trouble.”
“When an ordinary person suddenly masters a power that doesn’t match their usual understanding, it’s very easy for their personality to change drastically.
“Moreover, it’s not impossible to solve such a problem.”
“The Federation doesn’t have much else, but we don’t lack credits.
“As long as we give money to the people who draw high-quality beasts and sign a contract with them to centrally manage and train them, with a little restraint and guidance, I think it won’t be worse than the scale of the Mutant Federation.
At this point, the thin old man’s face changed from its previous gloominess. He extended his hand to Lin Ye with a smile.
“Hall Master Lin, let’s officially get to know each other.”
“I’m Yu Ming, a level seven ice-type mutant from the human federal government in Jiangzhou City.”
“This is a level seven beast-type mutant, Niu Feng.”
Lin Ye reached out and shook Yu Ming’s hand.
“Nice to meet the both of you.”
Yu Ming looked at Lin Ye happily and said solemnly,
“I wonder if Hall Master Lin has any thoughts of establishing a Beast Taming Dojo elsewhere?”
“Putting everything else aside, there are still many places in Jiangzhou that are several times larger than here.
When Su Hongcheng, who was beside Lin Ye, heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared at Yu Ming.
This old fellow, he didn’t care about martial virtue!
Was he trying to poach him right in front of him?
Fortunately, Lin Ye’s words made Su Hongcheng feel much more relieved.
“Thank you for your invitation, Senior Yu, but now is not the time to build a new dojo.”
Yu Ming did not expect to convince Lin Ye with just one sentence, but it was naturally fine to leave a good impression.
After witnessing the power of the Fire Phoenix and knowing that this thing could be obtained without any threshold, he immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity for humans and Jiangzhou City.
It had to be known that although humans were isolated in one city after another, they were still communicating and interacting.
This was what spatial mutants did.
Every year, the Mutant Competition and some large auctions were the most frequent opportunities for the various cities to interact.
Occasionally, they would even help each other in cities that encountered a huge beast tide.
If the representatives of the city could achieve good results or show enough attraction in such an exchange.
It could bring huge benefits to the city.
Putting everything else aside, even if it could simply attract more powerful mutants, it was still extremely good for the federal government of the city.
After all, talents were quite rare these days.
Even after so many years, the Human Alliance was no longer united. They were more like cities, but they still knew the priorities.
Beast Taming could definitely attract many mutants.
After thinking for a long time, Yu Ming nodded at Lin Ye and said seriously,
“Alright, I won’t disturb Hall Master Lin anymore.”
“I’ll trouble the curator after I go back and get a regulation.”
Lin Ye nodded.
“Sure, sure.”
He was definitely willing.
If beasts had the double endorsement of the academy and the Human Alliance, they basically did not have to worry about promotion.
In addition, with Hong Zhijun and Hong Zhijie, who seemed to have higher strength and level, the army basically had a complete foundation in Jiangzhou City again.
Oh, there was also Yang Wei from the Mutant Association.
This time, even the officials had been “caught in one fell swoop”.
He was just waiting for these people to go back and slowly ferment this matter.
As for whether it could ferment to the level of the academy’s “national beast”, that would depend on how it developed in the future.
Lin Ye hoped that today’s matter could really become the beginning of everyone’s beast taming!
