Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 159 Want a spirit pet? Get to work first.

Lin Ruochen's ability to successfully draw the forbidden array on his first attempt further improved Meng Wenbin's opinion of him.

He smiled and nodded, "This will ensure your safety, but if you want it to obey you, you'll need to build a good relationship with it."

Lin Ruochen nodded, then tried to return the two-winged saber-toothed tiger to his spirit pet space. After succeeding, he looked at Lin Manman with a hint of teasing.

"We have to thank Manman for making our first spirit pet such a high-quality one."

Looking at the two-winged saber-toothed tiger that her older brother had put away, Lin Manman could only comfort herself, "Oh well, it's still ours anyway."

Seeing that Lin Manman's resentment was about to materialize, Meng Wenbin smiled and said, "Go to the research institute tomorrow and see if there's anything more suitable for you."

Lin Manman remembered that there was a dragon egg in the research institute waiting for her to rescue, and her mood improved again.

"Sister Manman... who was that just now?" Wu Jingyu finally snapped out of her shock. She tugged at Lin Manman's clothes and asked in a low voice.

Lin Manman sighed regretfully, "Well, it's a long story. Why don't you come over and sleep with me tonight, and I'll tell you slowly."

Wu Jingyu was clearly stunned for a moment, then his head drooped lower and lower, and his ears, which were not covered by his hair, quickly turned completely red.

"Alright, Xiaoyu has school tomorrow, so you two should go back and rest." Meng Wenbin waved his hand and said to Lin Manman and Wu Jingyu.

Lin Manman originally wanted to show them off her Pipi's domain skills, but seeing that it was getting late, she had to put that idea aside for the time being so as not to disturb Wu Jingyu's rest, and pulled Wu Jingyu upstairs.

Wu Jingyu has had few friends since childhood, and this is the first time in his memory that he has slept in the same bed with someone else.

The two lay on the soft bed, and Lin Manman briefly explained Lin Ruochen's situation.

As she and her siblings spent more time with Wu Jingyu, she was bound to notice something was amiss, so it was better for her to bring it up herself.

Of course, she only said that Lin Ruochen unexpectedly gained the opportunity to awaken a second profession after his soul was injured. There was no need to explain the soul mutation and her use of diluted life spring water to save people.

She also repeated the same lines that Meng Wenbin had used before.

In summary, while this situation is rare, there are other cases as well.

Wu Jingyu satisfied his curiosity, and Lin Manman stopped the conversation. She originally wanted the other to go to sleep early, but one was a little nervous about sleeping with someone for the first time, and the other was having her first night in the capital and was still feeling unsettled.

The two rolled around in bed a few times with their eyes open, then started chatting about all sorts of things until they finally fell asleep late at night.

The next day, unsurprisingly, the two of them had dark circles under their eyes and were woken up on time by Ms. Qin.

Wu Jingyu rushed off to school, while Lin Manman was still leisurely eating her breakfast. Hmm, time off from school is still blissful.

Meng Wenbin had already finished his meal and was waiting on the side. Lin Ruochen had also finished eating long ago and had taken his two-winged saber-toothed tiger, Hu Hu Niu, to the training ground in the woods behind the house to cultivate their bond.

Yes, the two-winged saber-toothed tiger is a fierce and proud tigress, and Lin Ruochen's naming method was also very simple and straightforward, simply calling her Tiger Girl.

By the time Lin Manman finally arrived at the Spirit Beast Research Institute in the capital city on Meng Wenbin's flying dragon, it was long past the institute's opening hours.

However, Director Meng Wenbin doesn't need to clock in for work.

As the central research institute for all of China, the Spirit Beast Research Institute in the capital city, judging from a simple visual estimate, occupies an area more than four times that of Meng Wenbin's manor.

Looking down from the air, there are many areas among the mountains, forests, and lakes that are separated and enclosed by special railings.

Aquatic creatures can be vaguely seen leaping in the lake, and their movements can also be seen in the mountains and forests.

Lin Manman used the system to scan the data roughly, and found that most of the levels were below level three.

The institute's administrative building, research department, and breeding department are located in different areas. The breeding department is where the male and female models are stored, and it is also the core of the Spirit Beast Research Institute.

The breeding, nurturing, and hatching of young spirit beasts are all completed at the breeding center.

Meng Wenbin first took Lin Manman to the research department to meet Gao Zhixian, who lived there. Apart from conducting research on spirit beasts every day, Gao Zhixian had basically no other entertainment or trivial matters.

Although Lin Manman and Gao Zhixian had been in contact online for two or three months, this was their first time meeting in person.

"Junior Sister, you've finally arrived!! Quick, summon Amber, I need to collect some blood and record the data."

When Gao Zhixian heard that Lin Manman had arrived, he rushed over to them with a brisk pace. Even though this was their first formal meeting, he couldn't think of any formalities or polite gestures.

He just wanted to get Lin Manman to his research as soon as possible so she could contribute something practical.

"Huh? No! I didn't come to work today!! I came to choose a spirit beast!!" Before Lin Manman could even say hello, Gao Zhixian grabbed her arm and dragged her away.

Meng Wenbin smiled secretly. Actually, he brought Lin Manman to the research institute today so that she could get familiar with the place first, and then they could talk about having her come and work there.

"Junior Sister, look, this is research material that our teacher sent back from Jinling. I've been studying this material for a while now, and I've discovered some research..."

"Junior Sister, take another look at this. This is a research plan I wrote based on your suggestion of the bloodline devouring enhancement method. The key and difficult point is..."

"Regarding the materials needed to upgrade a spirit beast's rank..."

"And also... regarding the design of this bloodline gene pool..."

Holy crap, this isn't Pigsy, it's Master Tang! Lin Manman's eyes were practically spinning with anticipation.

"Zhixian, don't show her these academic things. She's only in her first year of high school. Just tell her what you need her help with," Meng Wenbin interjected slowly.

Lin Manman: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Didn't we agree to bring her here to choose a spirit pet?

After Meng Wenbin's prompting, Gao Zhixian pressed his forehead, thought it over, and decided on the first thing to do.

"Okay, you summon all your spirit pets first, and I'll collect and enter the data into the database."

Lin Manman glanced at Meng Wenbin, who seemed to be in work mode and had no intention of acknowledging her, and could only sigh and cooperate.

She realized that if she wanted a spirit pet, she had to work first!

After summoning all the spirit pets, Li Manman realized that she hadn't yet given Kapibala a proper introduction.

"I forgot to formally introduce this new member of the family. Her full name is Kapibala, and her nickname is Pipi."

"Let's all be friendly from now on... or else, Honey Badger and Silly, I'll be entrusting Pipi's training to you guys from now on!"

Lin Manman, who was introducing the other spirit pets to Kapibala, suddenly met Pipi's gaze, which seemed to neither want to live nor want to die. Her desire for everyone to get along amicably vanished.

Friendly relations are out of the question; we have to force Pipi to start training. We can't let one mouse ruin her entire team!

"Roar!" The honey badger patted its chest, indicating that there was no problem. As the elder brother, it was its duty to take good care of the new beast!

"Screech." Ah-Dai's reaction was indifferent, but since its beast tamer had given instructions, it would do its best to complete them.

"Why don't you wait a bit? Let me draw some blood first?" Gao Zhixian stroked the amber that had brushed past him with one hand, while holding a blood collection device about the size of a little finger joint in the other.
