Chapter 160: Chapter 140 Beast Taming Breeding

This is… a skill that a nanny dragon should awaken?

Chen Xing recalled a certain image in his mind.

On the fierce battlefield, a small dragon stood in the back row, steadily casting healing spells.

The enemies decided to assassinate the nanny, so their flying dragon rider charged toward the small dragon.

The very next second, the seemingly harmless nanny rolled up her sleeves.

If you, sir, do not wish to allow me to properly release my healing spells, then might this dragon also know a bit about the art of battle?

Just thinking about that scene was quite beautiful.

The little dragon was also awakened by the commotion it caused, squinting its eyes and looking around in panic as its body began to glow.

With a thought, the next second.

The little dragon’s body quickly particleized, turning into a thick mass of light.

When the light dissipated.

Its originally tiny wings quickly inflated at the back, its neck became slender, and its body sleeker.

“Always calling you ‘little dragon’ isn’t very nice.”

“You have the bloodline of the Great Sunlight Silver Dragon and the bloodline of the Lustrous Holy Light Dragon within you, both related to light, and light originates from the sun.”

“Since that’s the case, let’s call you Dong Jun.”

Dong Jun patted its own belly.

It didn’t actually understand the meaning of the name, but if he was the one providing food, it could be called anything, right?

…

When dawn broke, Chen Xing took Dong Jun to the pet safety assessment center for a safety evaluation.

The assessment went smoothly, and Dong Jun was rated as “docile.”

Gentle in nature, almost harmless.

With this certificate, it could move freely around the city, and given its current size, it could take any form of transportation with ease.

In the afternoon, Chen Xing approached his parents to ask about their thoughts on raising a Beast Taming pet.

After much hesitation, Chen Guohai said, “Wouldn’t this owe a big favor to someone?”

“In this world, the hardest debt to repay is a favor. If we are to raise Beast Taming pets, we should just raise a couple of obedient ones ourselves.”

“That’s right. Your mother and I saw on the phone that some companies seem to sell specialized companion Beast Taming pets for the elderly.”

After pondering for a while, Chen Xing explained to his parents, “I know there are specialized companion Beast Taming pets for the elderly on the market, but those Beast Taming pets… they are not as good as they are made out to be.”

Although there are many Beast Tamers, common people still outnumber Beast Tamers by several times in Great Xia.

Moreover, most of the Beast Tamers are only Junior Beast Tamers; Intermediate and Senior Beast Tamers are a minority.

In this situation, many products are sold to the public under the guise of Beast Taming.

Actually, the common people do not have much ability to discern these products.

It’s like the health supplements advertised on television.

It’s not that they’re completely ineffective, but there is a certain gap between the actual benefits and the miraculous effects claimed in the ads.

“Is that so?” Liu Yuzhen was surprised but then thought; her son was now a champion.

He must be a professional.

If he says there’s false advertising, then it probably really is false advertising.

Chen Guohai wanted to interject, but Liu Yuzhen tapped the back of his hand, “Are you the Beast Tamer, or is our son?! Listen to the son!”

Chen Guohai couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “I just wanted to ask where those advertisements were exaggerating.”

Chen Xing said with a smile, “The slogans for beast companions for the elderly generally claim that the beasts mature faster than others on the market, have stable personalities, and can evolve into a variety of forms.”

“However, a faster maturation speed just translates to a lower Beast Taming Level limit.”

Chen Xing explained to them the relationship between the Beast Taming Level limit and the Energy Level.

The couple looked at each other. So, that was the catch?

Chen Xing continued, “The subtext of a stable personality is that their intelligence isn’t very high. Of course, the beasts themselves are not dumb; even if they’re a bit less savvy, their intelligence won’t be significantly lower compared to ordinary pets, so most people wouldn’t notice.”

“As for having a variety of evolutionary forms, in reality, you need to pay for these forms, but the cost-performance ratio of these forms is very low.

There isn’t much improvement compared to before the evolution; it’s like a kind of useless evolution… But ordinary people don’t understand. As long as the beast’s appearance changes, they think it has evolved. And most people don’t know how much Combat Power should be considered ‘normal’ after an evolution.”

After hearing Chen Xing’s explanation, Chen Guohai and Liu Yuzhen became aware of the pitfalls.

Chen Lingya chimed in, “If you’re raising a beast, a Salty Bay Crocodile is indeed a good choice. If my brother can raise Taotie to be that big, it shows he has a talent in this area. With his help, the beast companion for the two of you will surely grow to be plump and healthy.”

“A crocodile again… That’s also fine,” Liu Yuzhen thought of Taotie’s appearance.

Having interacted with Taotie for the past half year, she had no qualms about raising crocodiles.

Her only worry was whether the house would be big enough as the crocodile grew larger.

When Liu Yuzhen brought up this concern, Chen Lingya had a subtle expression, “You actually don’t need to worry about that… Normal Salty Bay Crocodiles aren’t as big as Taotie, he’s one of a kind.”

“The only hassle is that Salty Bay Crocodiles aren’t purely terrestrial beasts; they do need to go into the water regularly.”

“I can solve that,” Chen Xing said.

He planned to set up a small beast breeding farm in the suburbs and build a large pond, so the crocodiles would have a place to live, and Taotie could be let out daily.

Noticing the curious glances from the three, Chen Xing said, “Secret, you will know when the time comes.”

That afternoon, Chen Xing and his family took a flight to Cangwu.

They met Old Master Qiu at the Qiu residence.

Old Master Qiu personally handed over two baby crocodiles that had been born three days ago to Chen Xing.

“I initially wanted to give you the eggs, but they hatched early. There’s not much difference between three-day-old crocodiles and eggs.”

Old Master Qiu said, “As for how to train Salty Bay Crocodiles, I won’t say much. I believe you have your own methods.

Speaking of which, we owe it to you that our Salty Bay Crocodiles have been selling well lately. The price of level two market Salty Bay Crocodiles has increased by about 20%.”

Afterward, the old predecessor invited Chen Xing and his family to stay on the island for two days.

On the third day, they chartered a private jet to send them back to Shu State.

After returning to Shu State, Chen Xing fed his parents’ Salty Bay Crocodiles Basic Carnivorous Pet Food.

Intermediate Carnivorous Pet Food was too potent; if the crocodiles grew too fast in a few days, others would easily notice there was a problem.

Compared to that, the effect of Basic Carnivorous Pet Food was much milder.

The next day, arriving at school, Chen Xing found his senior Wu Ju to discuss large-scale beast taming.

Seeing Chen Xing’s keen interest, Senior Wu Ju had a weird expression, “You seem to have quite an interest in opening a farm.”

Chen Xing said, “I’ve just naturally been fond of small animals. As you know, if it weren’t for competing, I might have dreamed of becoming a farmer.”

Wu Ju shook her head, “Keeping a few is different from breeding a large number. It’s tiring and tough, and you need a lot of licenses. They’re not issuing new beast breeding licenses anymore, and you can’t buy them on the market either.

However, if you want to breed, you can put your farm under the name of my family’s beast breeding farm and open a branch. But you can only choose one breed from our farm, as the beast breeding certificates are issued on a per-species basis.”

“Then I’m relying on you, senior!”

“Have you chosen a location?” Wu Ju asked. “Tong Xuhua’s family is in forestry, and it’s most convenient to find a suitable place through them.”

Chen Xing nodded, “I’ll go ask my senior right away.”
