In a staff dormitory building.
Lin Zhixuan walked into the dormitory with his head lowered. When he turned around, he bumped into a man with yellow hair who had just come out of the bathroom.
The yellow-haired man was a little surprised when he saw the person: "Xiao Lin, I asked you why I didn't see you when I came back. Why did you go out? How is your health?"
Lin Zhixuan coughed: "It's almost healed, but I still want to rest for two more days..."
"Really? You were looking forward to the opening of the haunted house..."
Lin Zhixuan lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and sat on a bed to untie his shoelaces.
The yellow-haired man took a casual look and saw a lot of mud on the soles of Lin Zhixuan's shoes. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Where did Xiao Lin go? Where can there be so much mud on the main road in this urban area?
However, the yellow-haired man didn't pay too much attention. He patted Lin Zhixuan's shoulder: "But your health is the most important thing. You can rest for a few more days."
"Would you like some wine to warm yourself up? Have you eaten? I didn't see you in the cafeteria this afternoon..."
Lin Zhixuan waved his hand: "I ate outside, so there's no need to drink..."
The yellow-haired man had just dug out a few bottles of wine that he had hidden. When he heard this, he looked a little regretful: "Okay, I'll go next door to find Lao Li and the others..."
"……Um."
"..."
…
Inside the barbecue shop.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the barbecue ordered by Gu Ling was finally ready and served.
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost couldn't wait to eat the barbecue skewers as soon as they were served.
"Naughty boy, don't swallow the sign, you'll spit it out..."
"Xianjiu, don't be lazy with your telekinesis..."
Xianjiu was staring at the cartoon on the tablet, and he just groaned in dissatisfaction: "Miwu~"
Beast Master, you don’t understand~
The BBQ skewers are greasy, and holding them with your paws will stain my cat’s clean and soft hair. It’s definitely not because of laziness~
"Okay, okay, you're not lazy." Gu Ling tore off some tissue and put it on the bottom of the barbecue skewer before picking it up and eating.
The naughty guy on the side didn't have any scruples. He just grabbed it with his big hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Tonight, Chief Black Cat is driving a police car and patrolling the city responsibly..."
"Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded, shouting 'catch the thief'. Sheriff Hei Miao suddenly became alert, and began to join forces with other police officers to cordon off various places and catch the thief..."
"..."
Just as the narration in the cartoon ended, the screen turned and came to a dark alley.
A sharp-billed bird slowly landed, holding a jewel in its mouth.
After landing, the sharp-billed bird's figure suddenly changed drastically, turning into a ball of pink mud.
"...Jie Jie!" The naughty ghost pointed at the pet beast with an excited expression.
The pet beast, which was pink all over and looked like a ball of mud, transformed into another pet beast in the next second, slipped out of the alley, and continued running away.
Every few minutes, it transforms into another pet beast.
In the end, he escaped capture by relying on constant disguise...
Seeing this scene, Xianjiu's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly turned to look at Gu Ling: "Miwu~"
Beast Master, what is this? Can he still transform?
Gu Ling freed up a hand and used his mobile phone to search for information about the pet beast in the cartoon.
"This is a shapeshifter, an ordinary pet beast. It can transform into any pet beast and item..."
Xianjiu's cat eyes were shining brightly, and he couldn't help but think about it: "Miwu~"
So awesome~
If this cat has a shapeshifter, can he transform into King Meow or Sheriff Black Meow?
Gu Ling hesitated: "Theoretically speaking, it's okay..."
Ordinary shape-shifters can usually only transform themselves. If they want to help others transform and change their appearance, it's not that there are no such shape-shifters, but their qualifications are definitely very high, and they are hard to come by.
Some beast masters engaged in shady professions, such as wanted criminals, carry a shape-shifter with them, just like wearing an ever-changing human skin mask, which can easily escape capture.
Without instruments sophisticated enough to scan human bones, a shapeshifter's disguise would be almost impeccable.
Therefore, in Longxuan Kingdom, citizens are prohibited from adopting shapeshifters privately without permission. Even if the contract is through formal channels, it must be reviewed and approved at all levels.
After contracting a shapeshifter, it must be reviewed regularly every month to ensure that the shapeshifter has not been lost or resold.
"Miwu~"
"Jie Jie~"
As soon as they heard that they could help others transform, Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost immediately became excited.
If the beastmaster's third pet is contracted with a shapeshifter, then can't the two of them get the shapeshifter to help them transform?
Gu Ling mercilessly shattered the dreams of the two little guys: "Don't think about it, you can't buy shapeshifters in the market."
"The procedures for contracting with a shapeshifter are very cumbersome, and there may be special personnel coming to review regularly..."
Special pet beasts like shapeshifters are generally under official government control and will not flow into society at will.
Moreover, although the shape-shifting monster seems to be able to transform into other pet beasts at will and can use the skills of various pet beasts at will, the gene chain of the shape-shifting monster is not stable. If you want to cultivate the shape-shifting monster, the effort you put in is more than that of ordinary pets. More than three times the size of the beast.
At most, the shapeshifter can only serve as a support in the team, with almost zero attack power. Gu Ling's third contracted beast is bound to be cultivated into the main force. If you choose an assistant in the early stage, it is better to choose a powerful one with full security. Pet beast.
"Besides, I have just become a two-star beast master, and I am still far from being a three-star beast master."
Although they heard Gu Ling's explanation, Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost were still a little unwilling.
Xianjiu blinked her beautiful cat eyes and said in a coquettish voice: "Miwu~"
Beast master, why don't you really consider contracting a shapeshifter?
"Jie Jie~" The naughty guy also handed the barbecue skewers to Gu Ling's mouth with a flattering look on his face, and Gu Ling could bite the barbecue with just one mouth opening.
"I'm not qualified to contract a shapeshifter..." Gu Ling looked helpless. The next second, he suddenly thought of next year's training camp.
As a result, Gu Ling looked at Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost, and his eyes gradually gained a hint of depth, and he said in a pointed tone: "However, if you can graduate from the recommended training camp next year, you can get more resource subsidies. , you should be able to be promoted to a three-star beast master more quickly, and maybe you will also be qualified to contract a shapeshifter..."
Upon hearing this, both Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost's eyes lit up.
"...Forget it, that's too difficult." Gu Ling pretended to sigh.
Xianjiu anxiously tugged at Gu Ling's sleeve: "Miwu~" The beast master~ can't forget it!
The mischievous ghosts also circled around Gu Ling's forehead: "Jie Jie~" Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely graduate! Beastmaster, don't give up~
