Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 140 My Major Matched My Job

"This matter concerns some of the Alliance's closely guarded secrets. You can investigate it when you officially join the Alliance and are qualified to access this level of authority."

Meng Wenbin glanced at the cup next to him, then at his young apprentice.

Lin Manman belatedly picked up the teapot beside her and poured him a glass of water. "Teacher, you've worked hard for so long. Have some water to soothe your throat."

"I am so lucky. If I hadn't become the disciple of such a powerful person as my teacher, how could a child from an ordinary family like me know so much at this stage?"

Lin Manman used her best flattery skills, praising him without reservation.

Meng Wenbin couldn't help but glare at her again, "What kind of behavior is this, all smooth talk and glib talk?"

Although he said that, he still felt incredibly comfortable drinking the tea poured by his apprentice and listening to his apprentice's flattery.

Then, as if remembering something, Lin Manman's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a hint of envy, "Yesterday I saw that my senior brother's dark dragon, it was truly magnificent. If I could have such a powerful spirit pet, I would never again let my teacher and senior brother worry about my safety..."

Meng Wenbin had a mouthful of tea stuck in his throat; he couldn't drink it or spit it out.

Lin Manman pressed on, "I wonder if if I help my second senior brother improve his research on the spirit beast bloodline upgrade method, the contribution points from the alliance reward will be enough to exchange for a dragon cub."

"Sigh, it's just that we don't know how long it will take to perfect this upgrade method..."

Although the naive Xiaoqi didn't quite understand Lin Manman's meaning, it felt that its master at this moment was very much like that thing described online... overflowing with the aroma of tea!

Meng Wenbin couldn't listen anymore. "There are only four elemental dragons in the entire alliance. Your senior brother's doesn't count; his family got it for him."

"The four from the Alliance are all in the hands of the other four councilors. Your teacher only has a wyvern as a mount. Tell me, which one are you planning to take?"

"Huh? So few?" Lin Manman clicked her tongue in regret. "No dragon cubs, and no dragon eggs either? If not, give me a dragon egg, and I'll figure out how to hatch it myself."

Meng Wenbin: ...

The method to upgrade the bloodline of spirit beasts is still in its infancy, and she's already calculating the rewards?

I've never seen such a shameless person before! And he's even his disciple?!

However, there really are dragon eggs, located in the Spirit Beast Research Institute.

However, more than a hundred years have passed since this egg was taken out of the secret realm. It has changed hands several times but has never been able to hatch. Finally, it was placed in the Spirit Beast Research Institute.

Lin Manman noticed something was off about Meng Wenbin's expression and knew something was up.

He quickly resorted to flattery, saying, "Teacher, look, I'm about to follow you to the capital. With your status, when you formally accept me as your disciple, I'll definitely receive a lot of attention."

"If I'm not good enough and can't beat others, not only will others question your judgment, but I'll also embarrass you, won't I?"

Meng Wenbin was now aware of his apprentice's persistence and tenacity in exploiting people, and had no choice but to tell her about the dragon egg.

Upon hearing this, Lin Manman thought, "Isn't this a perfect match for my expertise?" She had a system that could assess the condition of spirit beasts. As long as she could take a look, she would definitely know why they couldn't hatch.

Seeing that she not only did not give up, but was actually very happy, Meng Wenbin couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

The elemental dragon is also a mythical beast. Although it is not part of the Chinese mythological system, its strength is truly mythical.

Elemental dragons in their nascent stage possess strength comparable to a level nine powerhouse, and upon reaching adulthood, they can easily break through to level nine.

It can be said that if Lin Manman really has the ability to hatch this dragon egg, then she will definitely have a place among the top combat forces in China in the future.

"By the way, teacher, Xiao Ba said it's your contracted spirit pet, but I remember you're not a mage, are you?" Lin Manman suddenly remembered this when she saw Xiao Ba peeking in from outside the door.

Meng Wenbin glanced at Xiao Ba, took a sip of tea, and then continued to explain to her.

"A level nine expert who breaks through to the general level has a chance to awaken their profession again. The same applies to a general breaking through to the marshal level, and so on. However, not everyone will have this opportunity."

"Like awakening talents, it's a probabilistic event."

Lin Manman nodded. "It's a probability event, it's alright."

Anyway, she's not a genius, nor is she a prodigy; she's cheat code! She has absolute confidence in the system!

Lin Manman asked all the questions that had been on her mind during this time, and Meng Wenbin patiently answered them for her.

During the heartwarming question-and-answer session between the master and apprentice, Xiao Ba was outside the door, pawing at the door frame, almost crying from hunger.

Zhao Guishan arrived late, which diverted the attention of the master and apprentice.

When Xiao Ba saw that its master had finally come out, it broke down and cried to Meng Wenbin, telling him that it had given the two high-level spirit beast corpses it had hunted to Lin Manman, but although she accepted them, she refused to roast meat for it.

The tall, majestic, and awe-inspiring level nine griffin was crying for food, so the master and apprentice could only roast the meat for it before eating.

Afterwards, Meng Wenbin treated Lin Manman and the people of Zhao Family Village to a meal, leaving them with many valuable weapons and materials as a token of his gratitude.

On the way back, Lin Manman also hitched a ride on a dragon mount. The experience was more free and enjoyable than riding a flying vehicle, which made her determined to raise the dragon egg. She wanted such a majestic mount too!

Upon returning to Jinling City, it was noticeable that there were many more garrison troops patrolling the streets, and the usually bustling streets were much less crowded.

Lin Manman followed Meng Wenbin to the Alliance branch in the main urban area of ​​Jinling. Although she wanted to go home to see her family immediately, Meng Wenbin still had many things to deal with.

She lost her bracelet and couldn't go back by herself on the flying vehicle, so she had to come with him and try to get a replacement bracelet to take back home.

I followed Meng Wenbin into a large meeting hall and looked around; there were quite a few familiar faces.

I won't even mention Wu Anbang and Fu Mingyuan, but I didn't expect Xia Ming and Lin Minsheng to be there too.

Ignoring the strange looks she received from other strangers, she quickly approached Xia Ming and asked about the situation of Lin's mother and the others.

"Don't worry, Miss. Old Master Meng has made very thorough arrangements. Madam Lin thought you and I were out for a learning exchange, so she didn't suspect anything."

Lin Manman breathed a sigh of relief. The successive blows from her father and brother had made her mother's mind very fragile.

If one knew the perilous situation she had been in during this time, it's hard to say whether her body could have withstood it.

Fortunately, Meng Wenbin was thoughtful and didn't let Lin's mother find out about her affair.

She looked around and saw that there seemed to be quite a few important people there. Xia Ming's seat wasn't very conspicuous, so she simply sat down next to him.

"Uncle Xia, we've spent so much time together, and you really didn't let anything slip about this. I almost..."

Thinking about how she was arrested because she ignored Xia Ming's advice and went out in the middle of the night to investigate Chen Xuewei, her arrogance immediately subsided.

Xia Ming sighed helplessly, "Originally, Elder Meng didn't want Miss to get too deeply involved in this matter, so he didn't include her in the plan and didn't tell her about it. It's just that the accident happened so suddenly that none of us expected it."
