nChuxin City, The First Senior High School, Grade 3, Class D.

n

nFang Yuan woke up from the back seat by the window.

n

nThe pets’ habits and breeding methods were explained on the blackboard, and the first volume of the basic knowledge of pets in the new curriculum was written in the textbook

n

nOutside the window, besides the heavy traffic, there were also people passing by, riding on land birds and gryphons.

n

nThis was… a world of pet beasts.

n

n“This afternoon is the day to contract pet eggs. I can’t wait any longer.”

n

n“I wonder what kind of pet beast I can contract?”

n

n“I want a frost blade leopard. God bless , god bless, It doesn’t have to be too good. A silver high-grade one will do.”

n

n“A silver high-grade? You wish.”

n

nThe school had been built for more than a hundred years, and the hatchery had never produced a few silver pet eggs.

n

n“Most people’s first pet beast was trained from black iron.”

n

n“Yeah. The real top-grade pet beasts all have the bloodline of their families.

n

nThat’s the treatment that only the top people in Class A can enjoy. Our students in Class D can just dream about it.”

n

nThe students in the class were discussing animatedly. Many of their eyes were filled with uncontrollable fanaticism and excitement.

n

nRing, ring, ring.

n

nThe bell for the end of class rang. The students scrambled to get up and crowded towards the door.

n

nFang Yuan, who was carried by the stream of people, grabbed the black notebook in his hand.

n

nHe followed the direction of the crowd towards the school incubator.

n

nFang Yuan was an ordinary high school student. When he woke up, he had transmigrated to this parallel world.

n

nThe spiritual energy in this world had recovered, and countless black obelisks had appeared all over the world for no reason.

n

nThe obelisks were the gateway to the alternate dimension arcane realm.

n

nAll kinds of magical creatures resided in there.

n

nAlthough it was inevitable that there would occasionally be vicious incidents where wild beasts that lost control would surge out and attack humans.

n

nBut in general, human and these creatures were getting along peacefully and friendly, according to the obelisk’s left behind mysterious inscription.

n

nScientists and archaeologists had even worked out a link with the obelisk creature, the way to conclude a contract.

n

nThey even named the successfully contracted magical creatures Pet.

n

nThus, the global pet era began.

n

nThe corresponding human administrative, judicial, and educational systems had all changed because of the changes in the world.

n

nApart from basic knowledge such as Chinese and mathematics, there was also nine years of compulsory education to learn all kinds of knowledge about pets.

n

nAnd when they reached the age of 16, all the teenagers and girls of the right age had to contract their first pet under the guidance of the school.

n

nThat was the so-called contract ceremony.

n

nFor anything, the first time was often an important experience, and so was the contract pet.

n

nThe strength of the first pet greatly determined the long-term development of a pet trainer.

n

nAccording to their growth potential, pets were divided into several different qualities:

n

nFrom bottom to top: black iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum. Each level was divided into three grades: low, middle, and upper.

n

nThis was the most common grade classification. Above that were diamonds, star glory, and king.

n

nHowever, those were all unattainable urban legends.

n

nUnder this classification system, silver was the biggest watershed.

n

nCountless pet trainers had made it their life’s glory to contract a silver-quality pet.

n

n…

n

nAs memories emerged, Fang Yuan followed the crowd and soon arrived at the incubator.

n

nThe incubator of the school was a man-made greenhouse. It was a good restoration of the ecosystem in the obelisk realm.

n

nCountless pet eggs of different colors were lying quietly in the glass cover.

n

nThis was a life-support system invented by pet scientists. It could control the temperature and humidity well.

n

nIt kept the pet egg healthy.

n

nRight now, countless students’ eager and expectant eyes were gathered on the glass cover.

n

nWith the order of the class teacher, Gui Wentong, the contract ceremony officially began.

n

n“First place, Chen Pingping.”

n

nThe girl whose name was called walked to the stage and chose a pet egg. She pierced her thumb with a silver needle and dripped blood on it.

n

nThe light shone brightly.

n

nThe furry chick used its tough beak to peck at the eggshell.

n

n“Furry chicken, medium-grade black iron.”

n

nBlack iron-grade pets usually only had one passive skill, which was considered a relatively low-grade pet.

n

nBronze-grade pets could have two skills.

n

nSilver-grade pets had four skills.

n

nHigher-grade pets might have more skills, or they might be stronger. They might also have mysterious attributes, which were unknown to the public.

n

nThis was also the reason why everyone pursued high-quality pet beasts.

n

nThe level of a pet beast could be further improved through continuous training.

n

nHowever, quality was something that had been written in the genes long ago. It could not be easily changed.

n

nThe contract ceremony progressed very quickly.

n

nAll the students in the school contracted their pet eggs one after another.

n

n“Lucky Rabbit, high-grade black iron.”

n

n“Fragrant Pig, low-grade black iron.”

n

n…

n

nMost of the pet beasts reported by the class teacher were of black iron quality.

n

nProbability would not lie. The higher the quality of a pet beast, the lower the probability of it appearing. This was an eternal truth.

n

n“D*mn, all of them are black iron?”

n

n“Black iron is not bad. Last year, my brother’s class even had a few dead eggs! The glass cover was added after that due to this matter.”

n

n“Then this contract is so lonely. My mentality has collapsed.”

n

n“That’s right.”

n

n“God bless me, I’m not greedy and don’t want silver. Just give me a bronze. Even if it’s a low-grade bronze, it’s still good! Please.”

n

n“Boxing Cat, medium-grade bronze!”

n

nAlong with the class teacher’s exciting shout-out, a boy raised Boxing Cat high up in his hands.

n

n“It’s Wang Jingze! He’s struck it rich!”

n

n“Wow, he’s so lucky. which hand did he open? Did he open or close his eyes? Did he make any special movements?”

n

n“Quick, quick, go over and take some luck.”

n

nBut after this shout, they were all black steel.

n

nThe line in front was getting shorter and shorter.

n

nSoon, it would be Fang Yuan’s turn to go on stage.

n

nEven though he was a reincarnated person, coming to such a magical world, he was also full of anticipation for his first contracted pet.

n

nHe subconsciously touched the bracelet on his wrist.

n

nThis was left behind by his father.

n

nFang Yuan’s father was a pet beast archaeologist. Because of a top-secret archaeological project, he was away from home all year round.

n

nThis bracelet was a birthday gift from his father.

n

nHis predecessor always wore it by his side.

n

nWhen Fang Yuan walked onto the stage, he reached out his hand with the bracelet and touched the pet egg.

n

nA thin black-gray fog shrouded his eyes.

n

n“Just like everyone else, it’s also… black iron?”

n

nAt this moment, there was a Ding in his mind.

n

n100-fold amplification system activated successfully.

n

n Ding. Pet egg detected: Level 1 gray-striped wolf, high-grade black iron.

n

n Do you wish to proceed with the 100-fold amplification?

n

n Host can choose from the following amplification methods.

n

n First, give up the 100-fold amplification and obtain high-grade black iron, level 1 gray-striped wolf.

n

n Second, obtain high-grade black iron, level 3 gray-striped wolf.

n

n Third, 100 times increase quality. Obtain middle-grade silver, level 1 shadow wolf.
