Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 1 Bloodline Alchemy
"One pig costs 100,000."

"Three hundred thousand for a chicken!"

My personal suggestion is to buy chicken.

"If you don't have the money, you can purchase it through our Xiaoshou Loan, with an annual interest rate of only 26%."

"You are still young and your future is limitless. Once you have your first battle pet and become a beast tamer, you will be able to change your destiny, win the favor of beautiful female beast tamers, and reach the pinnacle of life."

"Of course, if you need a stronger spirit beast, you only need to provide proof of funds of 500,000 to enter the auction."

At the pet store, a saleswoman in professional attire delivered a passionate speech, revealing a carefully calculated 37-degree smile as she looked at Lin Chen, who was bewildered in the wind.

Lin Chen was indeed shocked. He never imagined that one day his views on prices would be completely overturned.

Putting aside the fact that chickens are more expensive than pigs, what he finds most unacceptable is that he has to take out a loan to buy a chicken.

"I expected it to be expensive, but I didn't expect it to be this expensive."

Once he regained consciousness, Lin Chen sighed deeply, his memories gently surfacing.

He was a time traveler who, after dying of a terminal illness, was transported to this strange world: Earth.

This place was originally a place where people could cultivate spiritual energy, attain immortality, and enjoy a golden age for humanity.

Until the end of the Primordial Era, the spiritual energy of Earth declined, and humans could no longer cultivate normally. Later, the Heavenly Dao underwent a change, and spirit beasts that were originally unable to evolve could evolve.

Thus began the great era of struggle between humans and demons. The demon race became powerful, the human race declined, and the blue planet was about to be controlled by beasts, with the human living space being compressed to the extreme.

Humans have found a new path: through meditation, they have created a space for taming beasts, where they can contract with spirit beasts and enslave them in battle.

After thousands of years of struggle, humans and beasts gradually reached a balance. Monsters discovered that they could benefit from making a pact with humans.

Contracted spirit beasts were no longer called servants, but battle partners, and human cultivators were renamed Beast Tamers, thus Blue Star began to enter the first year of the Celestial Beast Era.

In this world, the coming-of-age ceremony at eighteen is to contract a spirit beast, which is the ticket to starting a job.

Lin Chen glanced at his empty pockets and said, "I want to buy a semi-auxiliary one."

Mythical beasts are also divided into three categories:
Combat type, semi-support type, and pure support type.

Combat-type spirit beasts primarily utilize their skills in combat.

Semi-support type spirit beasts have slightly weaker combat power, but their skills can be used to assist the beast tamer or applied in daily life.

Pure support-type spirit beasts are those with abilities related to spirit, healing, etc.

In this world, everyone wants to rise to the top, so battle pets are the mainstream, which also leads to their extremely high prices.

The vast majority of ordinary people cannot afford to buy battle pets, but they are immersed in the beautiful dream created by capitalists, so many people can only resort to loans.

In this world, 50 percent of adults live on loans.

Seeing that Lin Chen wasn't fooled, the saleswoman persisted and spoke again:
"Have you thought this through?"

"A person's first spirit beast is of great importance, and combat-type spirit beasts are often more appealing to beautiful women."

"I'm sure," Lin Chen interrupted the spellcasting.

"Okay." The saleswoman took out another spirit beast encyclopedia and then casually continued to promote the store's fighting chicken:

"If basic spirit beasts are nurtured properly, they can also evolve into celestial beasts. Just like the Douyin Chicken I just introduced to you, it contains 0.0001% phoenix bloodline. If you're lucky..."

"Thank you." Lin Chen interrupted the spellcasting for the second time.

Chickens are more expensive than pigs because they have been tainted by the bloodline of the phoenix, a mythical beast, even if only in a tiny bit.

Of course, battle pets are the best, but he can't afford to buy them, let alone raise them.

You thought taking out a loan to buy a beast was the end, but it was just the beginning.

Battle pets are generally very picky about food, requiring large quantities, and leveling up is more difficult. Raising one often costs 10 times more than raising a semi-support pet. Therefore, in this world, besides pet sales loans, there are also pet raising loans, and so on.

Although Lin Chen, who lost both his parents, inherited a sum of 200,000 yuan, money doesn't last long, and he didn't have much left.

In his previous life on Earth, Lin Chen was a stock market data analyst. He was naturally sensitive to money, and over the years he had thoroughly read books like the "Beast Taming Manual," arriving at a conclusion:
Without money to tame beasts, death is the only outcome.

For your first spirit beast, try to choose an easy-to-raise support type. Once you have enough money, you can choose a combat type spirit beast for your second one.

"What type do you want?" The saleswoman began flipping through the catalog.

"Diligence makes you easy to support." Lin Chen had a clear goal.

Everyone wants such a spirit beast.
The saleswoman was speechless, but still said professionally, "The ones you mentioned are more suitable for cattle."

Lin Chen thought so too.

As an analyst, he is quite sensitive to data. Based on his research of several books, he found that the debt ratio of beast tamers belonging to the bovine family is the lowest.

Because oxen can plow, in this world of beast taming, both humans and animals need to eat, and in large quantities.

The saleswoman seemed to remember something else and advised, "You'd better make a choice based on your own talents."

So-called talent is the divine nature of the beast tamer himself.

When a Beast Taming Space is activated, the Beast Tamer will awaken a divine talent. Although the names and abilities vary, they can be roughly divided into four categories:

First, feedback and return: When a spirit beast becomes stronger, the beast tamer will also benefit from it. This is a common divine quality of beast tamers. However, some beast tamers awaken such special talents, which can give back the spirit beast's unique skills or return cultivation points at a multiplier. Beast tamers with such talents are often more capable.

Over 99% of beast tamers possess this type of talent.

Besides these, there are some special mutation-type talents, but they are extremely rare.

Second, Human-Beast Fusion: The Beastmaster and the Spirit Beast go together to unleash a combo skill. This skill can only be used later when the strength and synergy between the Beastmaster and the Spirit Beast have improved.

Third, Beast Taming Enhancement: Beast Tamers can enhance their beast taming abilities through their own talents, helping to improve their abilities. These types of beast tamers often have more powerful spirit beasts, and they are rare.

Fourth, Beast-Refining Weapons: Spirit beasts can be bestowed upon Beast Tamers to become their weapons. This type is somewhat similar to unorthodox and evil arts, and is the rarest to see.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's pupils flashed with light, and he asked, "I remember the store offers free meditation stones, right?"

"You haven't activated your Beast Taming Space yet?" The saleswoman was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that Lin Chen had come to freeload meditation stones.

This thing isn't expensive outside; it only costs 100 yuan.

However, quite a few people still come to use the meditation stones, since most of them are ordinary people who want to save money wherever possible.

The saleswoman didn't look down on Lin Chen. Instead, she quickly brought him a meditation stone, explained how to use it, and led him to a small, private room.

Lin Chen thanked him, holding a jagged meditation stone in his palm. He bit his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the stone.

"Crack!"

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the meditation stone, and a wisp of bluish-green mist emerged from the cracks, coiling around the wrist bone like a snake.

A chill pierced to the bone, and vision suddenly distorted.

Lin Chen could feel a self-contained space gradually opening up in his brain.

As the space gradually expanded and took shape, a sudden change occurred, and a white light flashed.
Lin Chen was filled with anticipation; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

As the white light gradually dissipated, a golden diagram appeared in my mind, and at the same time, a large amount of information flooded into my brain:

The Midas Touch of Bloodline.

"?"

Lin Chen was surprised, and his first thought was:
Midas touch, turning stone into gold.

He's trying to make money, but what does that have to do with beast taming?
