Here it comes, here it comes! Zhou Ran was very excited and fidgeting nervously beside her.
Feng Ruotong, however, had not left yet and was staring blankly at Zhou Ran.
Why was this man, who was about the same age as her, so powerful and possessed such remarkable cultivation techniques? Could it be that there were people even more powerful than her and a world even greater than hers?
Zhou Ran finally snapped out of it and thought to himself, 'What the hell? Why is she staring at me like that?'
'Is she lusting after my body?'
'She's so vulgar!' For some reason, Zhou Ran felt an unexpected surge of confidence.
Feng Ruotong suddenly snapped out of it, saw Zhou Ran's lecherous gaze, blushed, and immediately bid farewell to Zhou Ran and ran off.
'Finally gone. Now I can do something big!' Zhou Ran quickly ran over and pulled down the roller shutter.
He summoned the shop in his mind and exchanged 100 points for the Star Spirit Elixir.
'Um, how do I drink this?' Zhou Ran looked at the crystal bottle that suddenly appeared in his hand and asked the system.
'Just drink it. Be careful not to choke.' The system replied indifferently.
Zhou Ran felt awkward, but didn't care. He tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp.
As the liquid flowed down his throat, a powerful energy surged in his dantian.
'Ah!' Zhou Ran shouted, his entire body turning red and burning hot.
The energy stored in his dantian instantly dispersed, colliding with every acupoint on his body. Each time it broke through an acupoint, it was extremely painful. Zhou Ran clenched his teeth tightly, his entire body drenched in sweat.
Soon, all 720 acupoints on Zhou Ran's body were opened, with a faint blue energy connecting each acupoint, resembling a starry sky.
Zhou Ran struggled to his feet, only to find that the pain had completely vanished. A powerful force surged through his body, making him feel as light as a feather, brimming with energy, and his senses—sight, hearing, and the rest—had become exceptionally sharp.
"Is this the power of a beast tamer? It's so powerful." Zhou Ran thought that in his previous world, he could definitely take on ten opponents.
"Congratulations, Host, you have become a Beast Tamer and received a Newbie Gift Pack! The Incubation Pool has also been unlocked." The system chimed in.
A small pool behind Zhou Ran suddenly emitted a golden glow, dazzlingly bright, but it quickly faded.
"Where is it! Give me the newbie gift pack!" Zhou Ran shouted excitedly.
'The host has obtained one opportunity to enter the Super Dimension and one free use of the incubation pool!' the system announced.
Zhou Ran was filled with anticipation. From the literal meaning, he knew that the incubation pool would produce his first exotic beast.
However, he was also extremely nervous. If his first exotic beast turned out to be like the Orange Shadow Cat, that would be too disappointing!
The system prompted, "The current incubation pool is at Level 1, only capable of hatching beasts with bloodlines below Level 6. The probability of obtaining a Level 6 bloodline beast is 5%, Level 5 is 10%, Level 4 is 20%, and below Level 4 is 65%."
Zhou Ran furrowed his brows and thought, 'A lottery? A 5% chance for a sixth-tier beast? That's way too low!'
'Can it be upgraded?' Zhou Ran asked.
'The host can upgrade it themselves. Upgrading to Level 2 requires 1,000 points, and upgrading to Level 3 requires 10,000 points. Levels above 4 are currently unavailable.'
'The host can mentally recite "incubation pool" to view it from their mind!' the system responded.
Zhou Ran immediately summoned the incubation pool interface from his mind and examined it carefully.
A Level 2 incubation pool can cultivate up to a 9th-tier bloodline exotic beast, but the probability is extremely low at 0.1%.
The Level 3 Incubation Pool significantly increases the chance of hatching a Level 9 beast to 10%, and there is a 0.01% chance of producing a divine beast-class creature.
Zhou Ran was stunned. Currently, the highest-ranked beasts on the continent are only Level 9. These so-called divine beast-class creatures are the rulers of their domains, incredibly powerful, and nearly impossible for humans to tame!
There were also Level 4 and Level 5 incubation pools, with even more extraordinary effects, capable of producing the legendary Super Divine Beast-level beasts. However, when he saw the required points, Zhou Ran was stunned—how many zeros were there...
Although Zhou Ran couldn't afford these astronomical numbers yet, the effects of the Level 1 incubation pool were already impressive.
After all, on Blue Sea Star, a beast with a sixth-tier bloodline starts at twenty thousand, which converts to 200 points!
Zhou Ran was excited for a while, but gradually calmed down, taking a deep breath.
These are all matters for the future; what he needs to know now is what his first beast will be!
Zhou Ran kept muttering to himself, 'May the Jade Emperor protect me, may the Queen Mother protect me, may Jesus protect me, may my ancestors protect me...'
After praying to all the deities, he closed his eyes and shouted, 'Activate the incubation pool!'
The once dim incubation pool suddenly emitted a golden glow, flickering continuously. Amidst the golden light, a streak of black light appeared. With a 'bang,' a four-legged creature slowly emerged.
Zhou Ran widened his eyes and studied it carefully.
It had grey fur, with white fur on its face and belly. Its sapphire-like eyes blinked constantly as it looked at this unfamiliar world.
This...
Zhou Ran was stunned. This was a Husky!
And the more he looked at it, the more it resembled the one he had raised on Earth. Zhou Ran rushed over and lifted a tuft of grey fur on its head.
Sure enough, there was a light red star-shaped birthmark on its head.
"Holy crap! It's you, Erbao!" Zhou Ran excitedly hugged it, stroking it repeatedly.
And this "Huskie" seemed to recognise Zhou Ran as well, licking his hand constantly while barking "woof woof woof."
But soon Zhou Ran pushed it away and shouted, 'No! You're my first exotic beast? I want to exchange it!'
'Impossible,' the system said coldly.
Looking at this silly dog, Zhou Ran felt utterly despairing, but out of curiosity, he still used the Pet Appraisal Device on it.
Juvenile Star Wolf Dog
Attribute: Wind
Rank: First-tier mid-level
Skills: Fierce Dog Charge, Sharp Howl
Potential: F
Score: 15
Zhou Ran was on the verge of tears. He had hoped to obtain a sixth-tier bloodline exotic beast, but instead ended up with this creature. At least it was a fourth-tier bloodline, though it ranked at the bottom among fourth-tier exotic beasts.
'Why didn't you choose a stronger bloodline when you reincarnated? You've really disappointed me, Erbao!' Zhou Ran was on the verge of tears.
But he gradually came to his senses. After all, this was his favourite pet from before.
'System, how do I sign a contract with him?' Zhou Ran suddenly realised that he didn't know how to sign a beast contract.
"Calm the beast's emotions, gather starlight energy in both hands, and place them on the beast's head to complete the contract," the system explained.
Zhou Ran followed the instructions promptly. The Star Wolf Dog trusted him deeply, and the contract was completed swiftly.
A dim star map appeared in his mind, with a single star glowing brightly at its centre.
