Chapter 405: Zahar
Chapter 405: Zahar
A familiar figure appeared on the projected screen.
It was Zahar, An Fatso's roommate.
The night before, during dinner, Li Qian had casually inquired about Zahar's accomplishments after hearing about his exploits.
He learned that Zahar's beast taming talent was in affinity with the Golden and Earth types, and this time, he was entering the Number Three Mystic Realm to select a Companion Beast with Overlord-level potential from the Earth type.
Li Qian immediately offered a suggestion, recommending a Companion Beast known as the Rock Giant.
He also revealed to Zahar that the Rock Giant's subsequent evolution was the Rock Swordmaster, with potential reaching the Emperor level.
Within the Number Three Mystic Realm, there was a breeding base researching this evolved form, and success was not far off.
Zahar's family background was relatively ordinary.
This time, in order to exchange for an Overlord-level Companion Beast, he had borrowed a considerable amount of campus credits from some senior students and fellow townsfolk.
Therefore, he had originally planned to exchange for only a Companion Beast with initial Overlord potential.
Coincidentally, Zahar was also aware of the Rock Giant.
He had initially assumed that there were no such Companion Beasts in the Number Three Mystic Realm.
Now, hearing Li Qian's suggestion, he had another target in mind.
So, early that morning, Zahar eagerly arrived at the entrance of the Number Three Mystic Realm.
After verifying his identity at the checkpoint, he entered the interior of the realm.
Next, he had twenty-four hours to select the Companion Beast he wanted to exchange for.
Or, he could find a suitable breeding base to evolve his existing Companion Beast.
Like all freshmen entering the realm, Zahar was guided by an instructor.
Zahar was no exception.
His instructor was a senior student, rumored to have graduated and been rehired by the school to guide others within the realm.
Despite being just an instructor, the opportunity to occasionally interact with the realm's breeding experts was an enviable job.
The senior student introduced Zahar to some of the realm's rules.
Then, a screen was projected from his smart bracelet.
This screen connected to the exchange systems of every research base within the realm.
Once connected, all exchangeable Companion Beasts and evolvable beasts could be displayed on this screen.
Zahar looked at the screen, quickly familiarized himself with it, and directly clicked on the Earth-type Companion Beast page.
After his psychic energy advanced to the Overlord rank, he gained three contract slots.
The first two contract slots were already occupied by two Golden-type Companion Beasts.
His beast taming talent was in affinity with both Golden and Earth types.
Contracting Earth-type and Golden-type Companion Beasts would both receive decent boosts.
Initially, in his pursuit of ultimate combat power, he had gone to the extreme by contracting two Golden-type Companion Beasts.
As a result, his combat power increased, but his defense and survival abilities became his greatest burdens.
His offense and defense were extremely unbalanced.
In battle, if he couldn't quickly defeat his opponents, he would often show signs of defeat in prolonged engagements.
His beast taming teacher had analyzed this for him.
He advised Zahar not to be so extreme and to find a balance between offense and defense.
Taking his teacher's advice, Zahar had hardly rested since then.
He had been meditating tirelessly, day and night.
Finally, in the recent past, his psychic energy level broke through to the Overlord rank.
He could now contract a third Companion Beast.
Without hesitation, he chose the Earth type.
The list of Earth-type beasts was not extensive, with only six pages in total, each page containing information on ten beasts.
Zahar examined each beast carefully, opening and checking the information for almost every beast.
Soon, he reached the last page.
At the very end of the chapter, in the final selection box, he came across the Rock Giant.
After clicking to view its details, he examined its various skill configurations, which perfectly met his requirements.
Recalling Li Qian's words from the previous night, he realized that the Rock Giant had a subsequent evolved form, the Rock Swordmaster.
Without much hesitation, the Rock Giant became one of his top choices, and perhaps the most important one.
In addition to the Rock Giant, Zahar also selected two other targets.
After making his selections, he headed straight for the research base behind these three targets.
Having observed his first choice for about half an hour, he arrived outside the Emerald Research Base.
And that's when the scene from earlier unfolded.
Fatty, who was standing there, turned out to be Zahar.
"Go and meet this old friend of mine!" Li Qian said with a smile, addressing Fatty.
When Li Qian referred to "old friend," he didn't mean someone he had known for a long time; he meant someone who looked rather old...
Zahar, unaware of Li Qian's thoughts, would have been speechless if he knew.
How could a classmate of the same grade be considered an "old friend"?
Li Qian slowly walked out of the breeding base and saw Zahar standing at the entrance.
Zahar also noticed Li Qian, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
However, he quickly recovered.
The night before, after returning to the dormitory, he had been puzzled about how Li Qian knew about the news from the Number Three Mystic Realm.
But now, the mystery was solved, and he had the evidence.
It turned out that Li Qian was an intern within the breeding base.
No wonder he was aware of this information.
"Li Qian, you've been keeping this from me. I never expected you to be interning here!" Zahar exclaimed, taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He hurriedly walked up to Li Qian and patted him on the shoulder.
"An intern?"
Li Qian responded with a slight smile, choosing not to elaborate.
He extended his hand and led Zahar into the research base.
This was Zahar's first time entering the Number Three Mystic Realm and the research base.
So, like a curious explorer, he wandered around, examining everything with great interest.
"Wow, you're amazing, Li Qian! I never imagined you'd be interning inside the Number Three Mystic Realm!" Zahar exclaimed with a hearty laugh.
"It's not too bad," Li Qian replied casually, not offering further explanation.
"Hmm, why are there so few companion beasts in this research base?" After wandering around for a while, Zahar voiced his curiosity.
Li Qian turned to Zahar, "You're wondering why you don't see any Rock Giants, right?"
Li Qian was well aware of Zahar's thoughts.
So, he directly addressed Zahar's curiosity.
"Hehe..." Zahar, feeling exposed, laughed sheepishly and scratched his head awkwardly.
"In the Mystic Realm, companion beasts are free-roaming. The research base is only so big, and it's not possible to keep so many companion beasts in captivity."
Li Qian casually explained, then instructed Fatty, "Fatty, take him to Rock Giants number one, two, and three!"
Fatty, upon hearing Li Qian's words, rolled his eyes, and a light screen shot out.
In the light screen, five red dots were clearly visible, glowing faintly and occasionally moving.
Undoubtedly, these five red dots represented the three Rock Giants and the two Four-Tailed Cats.
