Chapter 472: Grandmaster White! The Mutant Fortune Cat!
Chapter 472: Grandmaster White! The Mutant Fortune Cat!
"In summary, these dozen or so companion beasts represent over seventy different types of resources! My requirement for you is to take away at least a third of them! Many of these resources are extinct in history and are of great research value to our Longguo!"
The Poison Sage, Du Sheng, concluded his assessment, and the video feed switched to another area:
"Next, you will face your opponents. Compared to the three of you beastmasters, there are ten in the Ten Thousand Mountains who are all offspring of Holy Spirit Rank beasts."
The Poison Sage began to speak:
"The first is the Ze King Tyrant Lizard, with a racial skill..."
Du Sheng continued his explanation.
Su Ping listened intently, but soon, he wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him. Suddenly, a white fur appeared on the table in front of the Poison Sage.
Su Ping focused his gaze and saw a small cat with pure white fur and not a hint of other colors.
Its posture was extremely lazy, lying on the table, licking its tiny pink tongue on its equally small claws.
It seemed to have just woken up, yawning and shaking its fur before wobbling to its feet.
Its orange-green needle-like pupils rotated, and its gaze met Su Ping's.
Su Ping was momentarily stunned.
However, how could Su Ping, who was highly sensitive to companion beasts, not have detected this little creature beforehand?
Su Ping's gaze locked onto the cat, and he activated his innate ability, Instant Appraisal.
But this time, the usually infallible ability left Su Ping dumbfounded:
【Fortune Cat (Contracted - Other)】
【Attribute: Gold, Age: 67 years 10 months】
【Current Realm: Ordinary Tenth Tier】
【Racial Limit: Ordinary Tenth Tier】
【Skills: Unknown】
Hmm?
Su Ping, rarely distracted from the Poison Sage's lecture, blinked and looked at the creature in front of him.
A nearly seventy-year-old fortune cat?
Its skills were even unknown?
This didn't make sense.
However, as if sensing Su Ping's scrutiny, the agile white cat leaped lightly from the table and landed in front of Su Ping:
"Meow."
After this crisp meow, the others seemed to notice the white cat for the first time and turned their heads involuntarily.
The white cat ignored the others, blinked its orange-green vertical pupils, and playfully sprawled in front of Su Ping's table, tilting its head to scrutinize Su Ping up close.
At that moment, the Poison Sage spoke:
"Grandmaster White, why are you here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ping and the other two in the room understood.
The seemingly unremarkable fortune cat was addressed so respectfully by the Poison Sage, indicating that there was only one person who could command such respect in this place.
So, was this fortune cat the companion beast of the Legend of the Holy Dragon?
Su Ping looked at the little cat with skepticism.
The fortune cat was a highly popular companion beast worldwide.
It was also one of Longguo's signature companion beasts, accounting for the largest share of export trade. It might even be the most popular one!
In this world, beastmasters dominated, and individual strength could influence the rules and society.
However, regardless of the era or society, the structure was always pyramidal.
The lower the level, the more numerous they were.
The fortune cat was especially favored by lower-level beastmasters who would never become combat beastmasters.
Its symbolism, appearance, and even some racial skills made it a useful little companion beast in daily life.
Even Su Ping liked to play with his employees' fortune cats in his free time.
But to think that even the Legend of the Holy Dragon had one, Su Ping found it hard to believe.
Did the owner leave this companion beast here?
Just as Su Ping's expression grew more puzzled, a crisp voice rang out:
"Kid, what's that look in your eyes?"
The fortune cat glared at Su Ping, clearly displeased with the doubt in Su Ping's gaze.
Could this creature speak human language?
Although companion beasts that reach the Imperial Rank often possess human-level intelligence, it was still surprising to hear a Holy Spirit Rank companion beast speak.
But the fortune cat before him seemed incapable of such speech.
At that moment, the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index.
"Su Ping, this is Grandmaster White's original unevolved form. Grandmaster White possesses a skill called 'Conceal and Prepare,' which can lower its apparent realm and form!"
Su Ping immediately understood. Conceal and Prepare?
Su Ping had never heard of such a skill before.
But in this vast world, nothing is impossible.
How could he possibly understand everything?
So, the legendary Saint Dragon, had once contracted a Fortune Cat as a companion beast and even nurtured its evolution?
Now, he can even have this one stationed here? Is it a Legendary Rank companion beast?
What would its true form look like after evolution?
"Sorry, I don't know if White Grandmaster has such an ability."
Su Ping quickly replied.
The old white cat was clearly displeased with Poison Sage's words and turned to him:
"Liuli, don't reveal my identity and skills so casually in the future. How can I continue to pretend to be a pig eating a tiger?"
Poison Sage was helpless:
"White Grandmaster, Su Ping is not an outsider."
The white cat nodded, then tilted its head to look at Su Ping:
"Kid, the master seems to have high hopes for you! But I heard that your companion beast is also a big dog. Why not contract a cute little cat like me? I hate stinky big dogs!"
Su Ping pursed his lips:
"I've never encountered a cat companion beast as special as White Grandmaster. Otherwise, I would have contracted it for sure! As for dog companion beasts, it's a family tradition, and I can't neglect it."
The white cat's eyes lit up:
"In that case, I'll give you a cat then!"
Su Ping's eyelids twitched:
"But I don't have any contract slots left..."
"Kid, are you looking down on me?"
The white cat's fur stood on end, and it stared at Su Ping with its slit pupils.
Su Ping was speechless:
"Of course not. It's just that I currently have no contract slots left, and my next contracted companion beast has already been designated by Saint Dragon. It's the one in Dragon City. So, White Grandmaster, your kindness..."
As soon as the white cat heard the name of the legendary Saint Dragon, its fur, which had just calmed down, stood up again:
"Meow? The master instructed me... I don't care. How can a stinky big dog compare to a cute cat? Su Ping, as a top-notch nurturing master, must also nurture a cat to gain my recognition as a nurturing master!"
Su Ping was both amused and perplexed by this strange competitive spirit.
However, at this point, he couldn't say anything and could only nod:
"If that's the case, rest assured. I have a companion beast nurturing base, and even if I can't contract, I'll still treat every companion beast well!"
Hearing this, the white cat finally nodded in satisfaction. It lightly leaped and jumped onto Su Ping's shoulder. With its pink, plump little paw, it patted Su Ping's head and said happily:
"That's more like it! Cats are the cutest companion beasts in the world, and they have the most potential and power. You must nurture it well!"
After speaking, the white cat waved its paw, and a cat almost identical to the white cat in front of Su Ping appeared before his eyes. The only slight difference was that this white cat's pupils were not the orange-green of White Grandmaster, but a purple-blue color.
"This is a cat with exceptional potential that I discovered! I wouldn't trust anyone else with it. The master told me about you, and I think you're very capable. Nurture it well, and I'll visit you when I have time. I'll have you catch fish for me then!"
White Grandmaster lightly leaped from Su Ping's shoulder, we form a unique bond, and this white cat, which appeared so abruptly, also disappeared abruptly, leaving only the special Fortune Cat in front of Su Ping, equally bewildered.
The Fortune Cat, a Kin Gold companion beast, could evolve in various ways. Some focused on nurturing, like the normal Fortune Cat, or on combat, like the Kin Gold Spirit Cat.
The one before Su Ping, except for the different eye color, was no different from a common knowledge.
The answer was clear: this was a mutant Fortune Cat.
Indeed, as Su Ping's Spirit Eye confirmed his guess:
Mutant Fortune Cat (Wild)
Attributes: Kin, Undead
Age: 8 Months, 7 Days
Current Level: Elite First Stage
Race Limit: Elite
Skills: Kin Spear Technique (Proficient), Soul Capture (Beginner)
Undead?
Su Ping never expected that this mutant Fortune Cat's mutation would be undead.
At this moment, it wasn't the time to delve into the little guy. He rubbed the little cat's head.
The mutant Fortune Cat also seemed to understand and rubbed its chin comfortably against Su Ping's fingers.
"Alright, let's continue with the opponents participating in the Ten Thousand Mountains this time..."
As Su Ping stroked the cat, his attention returned to Du Sheng's words.
This fusion with the small world was extremely crucial.
Not to mention the resources required for the Green Demon Ginseng, even the disappearing resources that appeared during the small world merged were also significant, like the Floating Wood.
One must not be careless.
A total of ten competitors from the Beast Camp.
All of them were younglings of Holy Spirit Rank Beasts.
Each possessed their respective race's advanced skills, and with the nurturing in the Ten Thousand Mountains, none were inferior to pets cultivated by top-tier Beastmasters.
Compared to the three Beastmasters participating, the Ten Thousand Mountains side, in terms of numbers alone, not only did they not suffer a disadvantage, but they even gained an advantage.
However, compared to the well-prepared Wang Luo and Xu Dandan, Su Ping was rather relaxed.
He had enough confidence.
Not only was Little Green extremely powerful in the forest, but Qian Yi's Wuxing Body was numerically invincible. More importantly, the Green Demon Ginseng was in his Beastmaster Space.
After Du Sheng finished speaking, when she told the three to rest and prepare, Su Ping approached her curiously and asked:
"Liu Yang, that Grandmaster White..."
The girl had an air of knowing it all:
"One of Holy Dragon's main battle pets! Although not as exaggerated as Holy Dragon's level, it's now a legendary rank, so you can rest assured in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Even the Lord of the Ten Thousand Mountains might not dare claim to be Grandmaster White's opponent!
But speaking of it, Grandmaster White thinks highly of you, even personally giving you a pet. You must cherish this little guy.
Grandmaster White can be a bit temperamental at times, but I must say, he's quite good to his own. As long as you don't become disliked by him."
Su Ping nodded. He had always wanted to raise a Fortune Cat.
As one of the largest Beastmaster companies in the country, the value wasn't actually high. If he could light up its Book of Ten Thousand Beings, it would be greatly beneficial to Su Ping.
Thinking of this, he rubbed the purple-eyed Mutant Fortune Cat in his arms and said:
"I'll call you Xiao Bai."
"Meow meow."
Satisfied, Su Ping placed Xiao Bai into his Beastmaster Space, and at the same time, he instructed all the pets in the Beastmaster Space to take good care of Xiao Bai. Then, with his curiosity piqued, Su Ping asked:
"By the way, this Grandmaster White, seems to really dislike dogs, huh?"
Although the cat-dog rivalry was a popular topic in this pet-centric world, it wasn't as intense for pets. However, the girl in front of him obviously felt otherwise.
The girl nodded and waved her hand, creating a mental barrier that cut off their connection with the outside world. The Poison Sage then continued with equal curiosity:
"There's actually a reason for this! Su Ping, you should know that Holy Dragon is also from the Western Desert Province.
In the past, Holy Dragon often fought with Wolf Lord, and their pets battled frequently!
Back then, Holy Dragon's Holy Dragon hadn't evolved into a dragon yet and had yellow scales.
Apart from that, Grandmaster White was Holy Dragon's second pet.
At that time, Grandmaster White often fought with Wolf Lord's main battle pet! Wolf Lord's wolf pet... tsk tsk, you don't know much about it.
But I, together with Leng Ao, often saw it under Wolf Lord's command. Let me tell you, that wolf pet, even in the historical records of Holy Spirit Rank Beasts, might rank within the top five, and not necessarily fifth!"
The girl swallowed before continuing:
"You think that wolf pet on the Great Plains, under Wolf Lord, once fought for a day and night. Although it had a slight disadvantage, its strength within the Holy Spirit Rank, it could even surpass its rank.
Su Ping understood, and his heart stirred.
So, that's what it's tongue, while his fingers moved with precision.
Great Plains!
Western Desert!
Su Ping's heart stirred as he recalled the battlefield where his grandfather, the Poison Sage, and Leng Ao had once fought. He now truly wanted to go and see it for himself.
