Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 119 Beast Tamer Ke Ke

Xia Ming received Lin Manman's request and quickly sent her a map of this person's activities over the past week.

Lin Manman compared the route map Xia Ming gave her and found that this person had not only been to her family's spirit beast shop, but also to other spirit beast shops.

Aside from the spirit beast shop, the place where I spent the most time was the materials shop...

Lin Manman had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but fortunately, her system could still see the other party's panel information through the surveillance video.

Surprisingly, this person was not only not a beast tamer, but not even a professional; he was just an ordinary person.

The next day happened to be Saturday, and Lin Manman decided that if the other party did not come to buy spirit beasts again, she would just pretend she did not know about it.

If the other party continues to come to her door, then she will have to put in some effort to investigate properly. She doesn't want her spirit beast shop, which she has worked so hard to open, to get involved in anything too complicated.

Although she had made up her mind, Lin Manman didn't actually want to get involved in this matter.

The background of the person who released the treasure hunter is unknown, the treasure-hunting rat has been captured by her, and there is an unknown treasure that can make people risk their lives to use the treasure hunter to retrieve it.

This matter doesn't seem too simple at all. Although she has now reached level three, she can be considered to have a certain ability to protect herself in the main urban area.

Furthermore, Lingshui District is closer to the city center than Huaishui District, so it is naturally safer, but nothing is absolute.

Since encountering the foreign organization at the Junior Professional Tournament, she no longer has absolute trust in the safety of the main city.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

The next day, after her morning exercise, Lin Manman let her spirit pets train freely in the underground training room while she went to help out at the spirit beast shop.

"You should focus on your cultivation this weekend, why did you come all this way to help today?" Ke Ke, who was cleaning, asked Lin Manman with some surprise.

In the past, Lin Manman would occasionally come out to take a look around on weekends, but most of the time she was either cultivating on her own or training her spirit pet.

Lin Manman glanced around the store. Perhaps because it was still early, there were no other customers in the store at this time.

"It's nothing. Uncle Xia told me yesterday that business at the store has been getting better and better lately. I was just worried that you guys would be too busy, and since I'm on holiday, I came to help out."

"By the way, Sister Ke Ke, do you have a favorite spirit beast? I haven't fulfilled my promise to you yet."

Lin Manman chatted with Ke Ke while helping her clean.

Aside from selecting spirit beasts and awakening their bloodlines, Xia Ming and the other two were responsible for everything else.

Qiu Xiangjing is in charge of the main daily operations of the spirit beast shop. Because Ke Ke can understand animal language, she organizes the staff to take care of the spirit beasts.

The cooperation with the Alliance's Spirit Beast Research Institute was mainly handled by Xia Ming personally. In the month or so since the store opened, Lin Manman has already supplied the Spirit Beast Research Institute with a lot of excellent breeding stock.

Furthermore, because she had mentioned the idea of ​​bloodline devouring evolution to Gao Zhixian, Gao Zhixian is currently working on establishing a database of spirit beast bloodline genes, hoping to develop a systematic and effective method for identifying spirit beast bloodlines.

With the awakened spirit beasts provided by Lin Manman as a foundation, Gao Zhixian has already accumulated a considerable amount of research.

Gao Zhixian excitedly told her that if she helped the alliance develop a systematic method for evolving spirit beasts, she would not only receive a large amount of contribution points as a reward, but might also be able to directly enter the alliance's upper echelons.

Because a systematic method for evolving spirit beasts can not only improve the overall strength of beast tamers in China, but is also a great undertaking that benefits the present and future generations!

Lin Manman hadn't thought that far ahead. She just wanted to keep her talent from being too conspicuous. Of course, if it could help her country and people, she would do her duty without hesitation!

"I...haven't decided yet." When the topic of contracted spirit beasts came up, Ke Ke turned her gaze away and spoke with a slight hesitation.

This was the first time Lin Manman had ever seen someone refuse a gift, but thinking about Ke Ke's family, she suddenly realized something.

"Sister Ke Ke, are you worried about not having enough resources to raise your spirit pet?"

"Actually, you've taken very good care of the spirit beasts in the shop lately. I've been wanting to discuss with you the possibility of adding a percentage of the shop's total revenue to your current salary. Would that be acceptable to you?"

Through this period of time spent together, Lin Manman not only learned that Ke Ke's family had a frail and sickly grandmother who frequently needed to take medicine and visit a pastor, but also that Ke Ke herself was quite talented.

Not only does Keke possess the talent of being proficient in animal language, but her soul power is also sufficient to form a level one contract with two spirit pets.

If it weren't for her strong sense of loyalty and being burdened by her frail and sickly grandmother, she could have easily found a powerful family to support her. Although she would be dependent on others in the early stages, with enough resources, she would eventually rise above her circumstances.

However, she was unwilling to abandon her grandmother who had raised her to pursue her own future, and how many of the forces that were willing to support beast tamers were willing to pour their resources into a goal that would become a burden?

The beast tamers who are supported by the government receive limited resources in the early stages. If Keke doesn't use all of them to improve herself and instead uses them to support her grandmother, are they cultivating talent for themselves or doing charity?

This also created an opportunity for Lin Manman to take advantage of the situation, as no one understood Ke Ke's potential better than she did, who possessed the system.

As long as Ke Ke is willing to accept her offer, whether Ke Ke helps manage the spirit beast shop or follows her on adventures in the secret realm, it will undoubtedly be a great help to her!

When Ke Ke heard Lin Manman's words, she knew that Lin Manman wanted to help her. A few tears welled up in her usually strong and cheerful eyes.

"Since the young lady is willing to give me a raise, what could I possibly refuse but gratitude?"

Her parents died in an expedition when she was very young. It was her grandmother, an ordinary person, who raised her with many times the hardship of others.

Having been a beast tamer for many years, she has experienced the full spectrum of human nature, and there are not many people willing to extend an olive branch like Lin Manman.

Just as Lin Manman had guessed, it wasn't that no powerful organization wanted to invite her, but the conditions were too harsh, preventing her from wasting time taking care of her grandmother's health.

Even before she was qualified to join the expedition team, she wouldn't have much money to her, except for spirit beasts and cultivation resources.

If she were alone, she could certainly fight for herself, but she also has her grandmother, whose health not only needs constant attention but also requires a lot of money to maintain.

Before being invited by Lin Manman, she had to work five jobs a day just to keep her grandmother's health from deteriorating.

Lin Manman had promised to give her a spirit beast as a token of gratitude for her help. Did she really not want it?!

As a key combat force for beast tamers, how could she not want it?! It's just that she really can't afford to raise it.
