BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2
Of course, the school charges for these pets, and their levels will not reach the Elite tier. Elite and above magical creatures can only be purchased in pet stores, but their prices are very touching, and it is difficult to contract with them.
Generally, only students with wealthy family backgrounds and outstanding talents choose to buy magical creatures in pet stores, and that is not something David Jones can aspire to. Most students can only choose to domesticate magical creatures in the Beast Master House assigned by the school.
The Beast Master House offers great discounts on magical creatures and also allows loans. Intermediate magical creatures in the house are generally sold at a 30% discount compared to their pet store counterparts. For children of martyrs, the price is only half of the pet store’s.
Although the prices are discounted, the strength of the magical creatures in the house is not weak. The magical creatures in the house are suitable for beginners, based on the breeding and research done at the Waterland Pet Breeding Base.
Of course, if you want other types of magical creatures, you can apply in advance to visit the Waterland City Breeding Base. The breeding base has a wide variety of magical creatures, but whether it’s an adult magical creature or a cub, the difficulty of contracting is much harder than the magical creatures in the Beast Master House.
If one fails to contract with a magical creature at the base that day, they will have to wait until the next week to choose a magical creature in the Beast Master House, and by that time, the excellent magical creatures may have been contracted by others. Unless you can prepare high-quality magical creatures in advance, you can only choose from the remaining ones.
Therefore, those who choose to apply to go to the Waterland Breeding Base are either confident in their Innate Talent or born in wealthy families. Of course, there are also no small number of people who want to try their luck, and David Jones happens to be one of the former, feeling very confident in himself.
…
David Jones turned his head and took out a jade box from his body. He gently opened it with his right hand. On its left side was a crystal-clear red crystal, and on the right side was a white magic core. It was the Ice Scorpion’s magic core, which belonged to a Class IV resource.
This high-level magic core can slightly enhance the efficiency of a Trainer’s Calm Mind; it is a precious property left to him by his former life’s father.
Yes, David Jones is a transmigrator. However, he had no differences from an ordinary baby when he was just born, but as he grew up, the occasional familiarity in his life allowed him to awaken his memories of his previous life a year ago.
When his memories awakened, David Jones’s brain received many complex memories in a trance, which were fleeting images and texts. The last image that stayed in his mind was a bright red glowing orb.
In his previous life, he liked animals and was a zookeeper, mainly responsible for cleaning the animal cages and providing food for the animals. He did not expect the zoo to be run poorly and to be forced to leave his job, resulting in an accident that brought him the Blue Star, full of extraordinary powers and magical Beasts.
David Jones touched the orb with his thoughts in his mind. The orb gently moved, transmitting a piece of information, which was his second Innate Talent.
“Dragon-Wielding”: “Gain Dragon affinity, your charm increases when in contact with most magical creatures. Even ferocious and vicious magical beasts will approach you and will not attack you voluntarily. Dragon Force or Dragon Crystal can greatly increase the affection and trust of magical creatures towards you.”
“Consume your own physical strength to condense Dragon Force, which can be directly absorbed by extraordinary creatures through physical contact. After the extraordinary creatures absorb Dragon Force, their strength and potential can be enhanced to a certain extent.”
“The Dragon Crystal is a special crystal produced by a drop of the host’s blood combined with Dragon Force, which can be condensed and strengthened multiple times by consuming physical strength. It has incredible changes. Consuming the crystal allows extraordinary creatures to mutate and evolve their bloodline towards the Dragon, and can also be used as a special Evolution material.”
Breaking a record and obtaining such a powerful second special Talent, “Dragon-Wielding”, gave David Jones a more than ordinary desire for extraordinary power. He doesn’t want to continue being an unknown nobody in his second life, he wants to become a bright star that illuminates the world.
…
David Jones collected his thoughts, took the Ice Scorpion’s magic core out of the jade box and placed it beside him, and began his daily Arcane Force absorption and Arcane Star strengthening cultivation.
Most cultivators place the magic core beside them for cultivation, making use of the fact that magic cores naturally attract Arcane Force from the surroundings.
Magic Cores cannot be directly used for cultivation, as absorbing the Arcane Force within would cause the Arcane Star to become unstable or even collapse.
David Jones sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating and absorbing the scattered Arcane Force between heaven and earth, slowly stabilizing and strengthening the Arcane Star in his mind. The tip of his pentagonal Arcane Star was flashing with blue light, a sign of the perfect stage of a Class I Arcane Star.
Successful transition from an illusory to a real Arcane Star is called Class I Arcane Star. Only by cultivating to this level of Arcane Star can one sign a contract with pets, and students in the Train class have basically cultivated to this level.
To break through from Class I Arcane Star to Class II, it is necessary to strengthen the Class I Arcane Star to be more solid, change the overflowing blue light at the tip of the Star to green light, and multiply the volume of the five-pointed star.
Therefore, a possessor of a Class II Arcane Star is basically impossible to appear among senior high school students.
The occasional Class II Arcane Star owners usually become the top scholars in college entrance exams in Waterland City.
Perhaps due to crossing over to this new world, David’s cultivation efficiency was not only nearly twice as fast as before, but the volume of his Arcane Star had also grown nearly twice as much as before.
The original body had a pretty good talent for cultivation, and now it can be said to be one in ten thousand.
After two hours of meditation and cultivation, David’s Arcane Star corners occasionally flickered with a faint green light. This green light meant that soon his Arcane Star would break through to Class II, and his Innate Talent would be strengthened accordingly.
David stopped his meditation and cultivation of the Arcane Star after completing the cycle of heaven and earth. He put the Magic Core into the jade box and took out a translucent Dragon Crystal from the box.
“Primary Dragon Crystal”: “Possesses incredible transformations, allowing superior creatures to undergo minor evolution of their own bloodline, with an extremely small chance of awakening random dragon-related skills.”
While holding the red Crystal, David began his daily strengthening exercise before going to bed. With a thought, he felt the energy being absorbed by the Crystal in his hand, and a wave of fatigue came from his mind. At the same time, the Dragon Crystal began to flash red light.
“Boom!” When David’s energy was almost exhausted, his mind seemed to send a shockwave, and the volume of the Dragon Crystal in his hand grew rapidly at a visible rate.
Excited, David clenched his fist and couldn’t help but shout, “Yeah!”
Sure enough, continuous manipulation of the Talent to condense and strengthen could lead the Dragon Crystal to sublimation. David hadn’t wasted energy, spending a year’s time successfully upgrading the Dragon Crystal!
“Bang, bang, bang,” a series of noisy sounds came, and David frowned and turned his head to look.
In the fish tank at the edge of the room, a Red-tailed Goldfish with golden scales kept bumping into the tank. It usually had adorable eyes but now seemed filled with longing.
David got up and walked to the fish tank, stroking Goldy with his hand, and used the little remaining energy to cast “Dragon Force.”
Feeling comfortable, Goldy’s scales shimmered like golden silk. It rubbed affectionately against David’s palm, wagged its tail, and happily blew bubbles.
“Little guy, don’t think about it, if all goes well tomorrow, this Dragon Crystal will have a master!” David said wistfully.
