Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 83

“Tell me frankly; what did you two do on the weekend? We couldn't even get through to your phones or find you at all. Hehe! Did you secretly do bad things behind our backs?”

After class, Yang Zhou and Jiang Yang gathered around and grinned playfully.

“Yes, where did you go? Purple Jade has evolved, right? It suddenly became so big,” asked Chen Tingting, clearly feeling the growth of their two friends' strengths these past two days.

“We only went to be coolies!” Su Bai rolled his eyes.

“Really? Where did you do it to increase your strength so obviously?” Yang Zhou chuckled. “I'm willing to be a coolie for ten years if that's the case.”

“When school is over, I'll tell you guys.” He thought for a while and nodded. He could let Yang Zhou and the others know where they had been; perhaps it could stimulate them to work harder.

Soon after their morning classes, Yang Zhou and the others gathered around.

Su Bai turned on his phone and showed them a picture of the starry sky. “This was where we went.”

Yang Zhou: “Are you kidding me? Quit boasting.”

Jiang Yang: “What did you say? Talk louder; I can't hear anything in this room!”

Chen Tingting: “It looked like it's been photoshopped…”

“I can only tell you that this picture is real, but I can't tell you where we went. This world is indeed broader than we thought.” Su Bai looked at his friend and spoke seriously.

“Is this the world behind a space crack?” Upon seeing his serious expression, Chen Tingting suddenly thought of this possibility.

“That's right.” He nodded.

The three slowly looked shocked. They enlarged the picture and carefully examined it.

Looking at the starry sky, endless yearning appeared on their faces.

“How can I go to this place?” asked Yang Zhou.

“You'll need to have at least a monarch pet,” replied Chen Rouxue.

“Okay, I can't talk anymore than that; I'm heading back home.” Su Bai stood up.

“We only have a two-hour break; why are you going home?” Jiang Yang wondered. They wanted to see other photos taken by him, but their friend took his phone back.

“I took a leave from school. I have to go back to hatch my second pet.” Su Bai smiled at them.

Under everyone's shocked expression, he waved and left.

“Howl (*^▽^*)”

The cub bounced happily after its owner. It was delighted, for the Purgatory Tyrant egg, once hatched, would be its younger brother.

When he returned home, Su Bai cleaned up the utility room on the second floor. He then moved his pet egg and a bunch of other materials inside. After hanging a 'do not disturb' sign on the door, he locked it and started hatching the egg.

First, he took out the egg, put it in the customized incubator, and prepared the incubation solution.

There were more than thirty kinds of materials, large and small, and each of them had to be ground to make a solution. Su Bai only had a small grinder, so it took him a long time finishing the solution, such that the cub fell asleep while watching him.

Once all the materials were made into a solution, he returned to his room with the sleeping cub. Although he was very excited, he could not be anxious. If the ratio of the hatching solution was wrong, it was game over.

“There you go. You haven't eaten for a day. Eat this quickly and put the dishes back in the kitchen afterward; Water Ripples will wash them tomorrow.”

Not long after, his mother knocked at the door and came in with a prepared meal.

“Thank you, mom.” Su Bai could not help but swallow his saliva when he saw the fried beef rice bowl.

His mother laughed and closed the door behind her.

“Have you eaten yet? Don't stay up late today,” said Chen Rouxue during their video-call. She was afraid that her boyfriend would be too excited about the pet hatching and stay up all night.

“Don't worry; I'll go to bed after eating.” Su Bai yawned. He knew that his girlfriend had specifically stayed up to do a video-call with him since she was usually asleep at 11:30.

After chatting for a while, the boy went to bed once he was done eating.

Early in the morning of the next day, Su Bai started preparing the incubation fluid. At about noon, he slowly poured some volcanic fluid into the solution, and all of a sudden, it turned flaming red inside the glass tank, then the terrifying temperature of magmlike substance could be felt even ten meters away.

Su Bai put on special gloves and picked up the incubation solution. He slowly poured it into the Purgatory Tyrant's incubator so that the entire egg was submerged in it.

He then opened the incubator and burned the three spirit crystals of fire, earth, and the undead. The hatching fluid became more and more viscous, looking like waves of churning magma.

In fact, the temperature of the incubation fluid was higher than that of magma, but this special incubator was completely isolated. However, it had cost him 80,000 yuan.

The incubation of the egg required ultrhigh temperature. Under normal circumstances, this egg should be hatched in the depths of a purgatory volcano. When it hatched, the source of the fiery heat would be spit by the Purgatory Tyrant itself.

Still, with the presence of super high-quality volcanic fluid and psychic bones, which were given to him by his master, in the incubation fluid, it was no worse than the incubation of the Purgatory Tyrant.

Moreover, the egg, which had absorbed enough three attribute light balls previously, had already reached saturation. There was no need for the Purgatory Tyrant to use its source for supplement.

With everything set up, Su Bai began making the most important step. He summoned his bronze contract book and flipped to a brand new page.

“Contract, conclude!”

The youth followed the intuition deep in his heart, and soon, a pale green pentagram appeared on the blank contract page, which turned into a green light, and sank into the Purgatory Tyrant's egg.

Following which, some lines and runes gradually appeared on the blank contract page. When the egg hatched, the contract would be concluded, and the picture of the Purgatory Tyrant would appear on the blank page.

Contracting monsters hatched from spirit eggs was very simple and was not as troublesome as conquering monsters in the wild. Furthermore, the egg was already familiar with Su Bai with the absorption of his blood every day.

The incubation of this egg would usually take at least seven days. Although he did not need to be in front of it at all times, he still had to come down to observe it occasionally.

He must ensure that the hatching fluid was sufficient and prepare to supplement it with more if needed.

This meant that he could not leave the house too long during these seven days, yet he could not sacrifice the cub's training. Su Bai could only instruct the cub to practice its newly awakened skill, Falling Leaves, and the new Crush Claw skill he had purchased in the backyard.

In fact, the cub was not very suitable for melee skills and would not have much use for the Crush Claw, but for the sake of the competition, the youth decided to let it practice this skill, too.

In the middle of the month was the five towns' spring festival competition. Su Bai did not want to lose, so he not only accompanied the cub in practicing its skills but also explained some routines clearly for them to better cooperate.

At the same time, he had to worry about the incubation of his pet egg. He had obviously asked for leave from school but was somehow more tired like this.

Soon, a week passed by.

In the storage room, Su Bai refilled the hatching liquid to the brim again. The speed of the egg's absorption was getting slower and slower, meaning that it would hatch soon.

“Howl!”

The cub circled the Purgatory Tyrant's egg four times curiously. Was this how it was born as well?

“No, this is how you were when you hatched.” Su Bai showed it the pictures he had taken.

“Howl! ( ̄~ ̄;)”

The cub raised its head and looked carefully, its face full of disbelief. It was so cute, so how could it be that ordinary-looking pet egg?

“Really.” The youth nodded.

“Howl!”

Holding its head up, Purple Jade walked out as if it had not heard him. In this house, the cub could not hear anything.

After another day, the egg no longer absorbed the hatching fluid. Su Bai opened the contract book and saw that the pattern had been filled on it. The contract was successful.

The owner-pet pair stared at the Purgatory Tyrant's egg in the incubator, waiting for it to break out.

Suddenly, with two bangs, two sharp, small claws smashed the eggshell and reached out. With another scratching sound, the little fellow directly poked its head out and smashed its container to reveal its body.

“Hey, this little guy looks pretty unusual. Hello! I'm the one who hatched you, your partner Pet Tamer.”

While smiling, Su Bai reached out to touch his new pet.

“Roar!”

Upon seeing his hand nearing it, the little fellow moved to bite him. The pet growled threateningly to reveal rows of shark-like teeth as it stared ferociously at him. It seemed to be saying, “Don't touch me, or I'll bite you to death!”

“D*mn it! I'm your partner, and I hatched you. D'you know how much effort I've spent on you? You actually want to bite me?” shouted Su Bai indignantly. This little guy was so fierce, with its milky-white eyes glaring sharply at him. This was the typical characteristic of a Purgatory Tyrant, daring to bite anyone.

“Howl! (•̀ω•́)✧”

Purple Jade came over again and waved its paw. It greeted the little guy amiably, indicating that it would protect it in the future.

“Roar! (▼皿▼#)”

However, the little fellow showed no mercy and only revealed a violent expression. It snarled and tried to bite the cub.

“Howl! (▼ヘ▼#)”

Purple Jade became furious. Was this newborn fellow trying to bite the hand that fed it? It would let this ungrateful guy know who its eldest sister in this house was!

It summoned a vine whip and injected it with a powerful aura.

“No, buddy! It might not have adapted yet. Let it finish eating the eggshells first, then we'll have a good chat with it.” Su Bai stopped the cub. The little fellow was probably still unfamiliar with its surroundings after coming out of the egg.

Confirming that the contract was complete and intact once more, he felt satisfied. The contract protected the Pet Tamer, so after signing it, the pet could not hurt its owner and could at most slightly injure them.

Seeing that the two were no longer approaching it, the little fellow picked up its eggshells and wildly devoured them. It did not forget to drink two mouthfuls of the incubation liquid between eating.

Su Bai and Purple Jade watched this newborn pet do all that.

The newly hatched spirit looked like a cross between a standing crocodile and a Tyrannosaurus. However, while it had a thick tail, two sturdy hind legs, two paws on its chests as small as those on Tyrannosaurus, it looked very sharp and a little cute. The pet also had a small black horn which was five centimeters long on its head.

It was about fifty centimeters tall, and its tail was more than forty centimeters long. Its whole body was black, and it had a triangular patch of tan skin on its belly. It had no scales and its skin looked like that of whales and dolphins.

Its eyes were big, and its pupils were the rare shade of red. The brown circles under its eyes looked like the dark circles of a panda and appeared more like its eyes due to their vivid color.

In general, it looked very handsome, much like Godzilla. With the sinister and ferocious look in its eyes, it came across as an extremely domineering pet.

After examining the little fellow's overall physical appearance, Su Bai looked at its specific data.

[Introduction]: The Little Tyrant of the Purgatory Tyrant gained enough origin during its incubation period, resulting in the awakening of an evolution direction hidden deep within its bloodline. It has great potential.

The Little Tyrant has a huge appetite and eats more than one hundred catties of earth and fire minerals every day. It usually needs to drink magma and eats lava to replenish its energy. It has a fierce temperament and does not like to take detours. Its biggest taboo is others stealing its food.

Scratch, scratch…

“Hey, that's my incubator worth 80,000 yuan! You can't eat it; it's not food!”

Su Bai grabbed the little fellow and tried to lift it, only to realize that it was so small but weighed one or two hundred catties. He could not lift it at all.

“Roar!”

The little fellow bit his clothes, looking extremely fierce, as it demanded to be let go of.

Su Bai led his newly hatched pet out and exhaled in relief. He then brought it a small bowl of food and asked, “Do you want to eat? Let go and don't bite me.”
