My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 44: Fireworks is competing for favor
"Woo~"

The exhausted Xiaoxi lay weakly on the table, looking like she had been beaten to death.

Zhou Lu patted Hua Huo helplessly and said, "Teacher Xiao Xi means well, you can't do this."

Huahuo raised Xinya stubbornly: She stole my job!
After learning how to entwine vines and being able to use them to do some work within her ability, Xiao Caocao has always regarded helping Zhou Lu clean up as her sacred duty.

When she saw Xiao Xi snatched her job, the petty-minded Hua Huo immediately felt the crisis, which led to her such a stressful behavior.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Xiaoxi." Zhou Lu finally calmed down Hua Huo and apologized to Xiaoxi again, "Hua Huo..."

"This is how a pet is initially treated." Xiao Xi struggled to get up, sat there rubbing her head and said, "It's just like a first child. It's normal for a pet to have a possessive mentality towards its owner. But your pet is like this, so you'll have to do a good job of psychological preparation when you want to contract a second pet after you upgrade it."

"Don't think about things that far ahead."

"That's not the case." Xiao Xi said seriously, "This is something you have to consider. The coordination between spirit pets is one of the skills that a beastmaster must master. You must adjust the conflicts between them."

"You can't travel through all the secret realms with just one pet. When Hua Huo advances to the second level, you will advance with her. Then you will have to consider getting a second pet."

As she spoke, Xiao Xi glanced at Hua Huo and said, "With Hua Huo's growth rate, you will soon face this choice. You must consider the choice of the second pet in advance."

There was nothing wrong with Xiao Xi's words.

The level of the Beastmaster grows along with the initial spirit pet, and each time you advance you will gain a Beastmaster slot.

Of course, this does not mean that a Beast Tamer can only contract five pets at most, but only five pets can be put into the Beast Tamer Card and carried with him.

In the early days of the Beast Taming Era, many Beast Tamers adopted the beast sea tactics, controlling a large number of spirit pets to fight.

But in modern times, the number of contracts for most beast tamers will actually increase along with the number of beast taming slots.

As peace has been restored in the main world, beastmasters rarely fight in the main world. Too many pets that cannot be collected into beast taming cards will only become a burden to the beastmasters.

Moreover, you can only carry pets on the Beast Taming Card in the secret realm, so it will be useless even if you contract more pets.

The changes of the times have gradually changed the concepts of beastmasters from beast sea tactics to the direction of cultivating elite spirit pets.

This is just like how human reproductive concepts have gradually changed from having more children and raising more children to having better births and better parenting.

"The second favorite..." Zhou Lu fell into thought.

Hua Huo angrily slapped Zhou Lu's wrist: No thinking!
Well, there's not even a sign of Second Stage yet and Hanabi is already starting to get jealous.

Zhou Lu smiled and rubbed the leaves of Hua Huo: "Let's talk about this problem after we reach the second level. Improving your own strength is the most important thing at the moment."

Hanabi immediately raised her tender leaves and said with full confidence: I will work hard to become stronger!

As long as it works hard to become stronger and becomes indispensable to its master, it won’t have to worry about other spiritual pets snatching away its master’s love!

After figuring this out, Hanabi immediately put aside the issue of the second pet that would appear in the future, and began to crawl around the room, crawling to the door and rolling up the broom with it.

Xiao Xi saw this scene and said: "I have already cleaned the room."

Hanabi dumped the trash in the trash can onto the ground: Now it's dirty again!
"..."

Xiao Xi watched in silence as Hua Huo happily cleaned the room.

"I say, did you learn any strange skills in the Linxi Secret Realm?" Xiao Xi retracted her gaze and asked Zhou Lu.

"what happened?"

"I just felt it. Hua Huo was trying to put the branch into my body." Xiao Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Ordinary branches can't be this small."

"If I tell you, will you give me goblin coins?"

Xiao Xi glanced at Zhou Lu and said, "If you allow others to purchase this information with fairy coins, I can give it to you." "Then forget it."

"I can guess it even if you don't tell me. There are not many creatures in Linxi Secret Realm that can make the branches show this form..." Xiao Xi thought for a while, "Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly? [Absorb] can really absorb racial skills."

"Teacher Xiao Xi is indeed a generalist." Zhou Lu turned on the computer and browsed the forum. He was not surprised that Xiao Xi could guess this.

Xiao Xi flew to Zhou Lu's side, sat on his shoulder, and looked at the content he was browsing on his computer: "Are you planning to go to the mountain secret realm? Are you so anxious to practice the skill of [Body Feeding]?"

"Isn't that what credits are for?"

"Most people don't plan their schedules so tightly. Didn't you just come back from Linxi Secret Realm?" Xiao Xi swung her feet, and her calves kept hitting Zhou Lu's collarbone.

"If you want to rest, you can go to the secret realm to rest." Zhou Lu looked up the relevant information about the mountain and river secret realm.

Xiao Xi didn't say anything else, but just sat quietly on Zhou Lu's shoulders, her calves hitting Zhou Lu's collarbone rhythmically.

"So." After a short silence, she spoke again, "Why are you working so hard?"

"To become stronger, what else could it be for?"

"Why do you want to become stronger?"

"..." Zhou Lu couldn't answer for a moment. He couldn't say it was because of the system.

"Those beastmasters who are committed to becoming professional players do work very hard at this stage. But their goal of becoming stronger is to join the school team and use it as a stepping stone to join a professional club." Xiao Xi said, "But you've been working almost non-stop. You didn't even go to see the school team's recruitment. It doesn't seem like you want to join the school team, so I don't understand why you're working so hard."

"Not everyone wants to be a professional player." Zhou Lu found a suitable cliff for training on the web.

"So do you want to join the company's exploration team? Or the pioneering army?" Xiao Xi reported the career directions of most combat-type beastmasters one by one.

"What exactly do you want to ask, Teacher Xiaoxi?" Zhou Lu said with a smile, "Isn't this a question that a general knowledge fairy would ask to get to the bottom of?"

Xiao Xi was silent again, and after a long while she slowly spoke: "Then I'll be frank. Do you still care about your father's death?"

Zhou Lu was a little surprised that Xiao Xi would suddenly say this, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, but he still keenly caught the tone of Xiao Xi's words: "Do you know the truth about my father's death?"

"I don't know." Xiao Xi said bluntly, "But I should be able to guess something."

"Then can your guess be purchased with goblin coins?"

"Three thousand."

"Fuck! Are you robbing?!"

Xiao Xi crossed her arms and said, "This guess is worth this much."

"Forget it, I'll become stronger and then go find out the truth." Zhou Lu suddenly found that Xiao Xi's words gave him a very reasonable way of speaking.

If there really is some hidden secret behind his father's death, the mastermind behind it will definitely not remain indifferent when he sees his son trying so hard to become stronger in order to find the truth!

Wherever there is action, there will be flaws.

At the same time, he can also hide the real reason why he wants to become stronger under this rhetoric.

At this time, Zhou Lu stopped sliding the mouse.

His eyes fell on a post on the campus forum:

[Are you students from Xin'an Beast Taming Academy so unethical? You actually openly robbed in the secret realm! ]
