Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 162 The Terror of the Super Intelligent Iron-Eating Beast

Lin Manman remembered the iron-eating beast's talent: [Super Intelligence].

Good grief, so the reason this guy has so few skills is because he used all his talent to learn languages?

She soon realized she was wrong! Terribly wrong!!

The black and white iron-eating beast scratched its ear, pulled out an enlarged bracelet from its almost invisible furry neck, and pressed it down.

"Dawei, my buddy's here. Could you bring over some fruit or something?"

Lin Manman was stunned again. After watching the black and white iron-eating beast finish speaking and show off its low-end smart neckband to Xiao Qi, she knew where all its learning ability had gone!

Not only Lin Manman felt numb, but everyone else present except Xiao Qi also felt numb.

This thing looks like a beast, just like them, so how can it speak human language?

Could it be a human disguised in animal skin? But that doesn't make sense; aura can't be faked. This is clearly a spirit beast.

Pipi stood on Hongyu's back, and Ruyi stood on Pipi's back. The three of them were stacked like a human pyramid, and their three animal faces, along with the tiger face of Amber next to them, were all filled with bewilderment.

Honey Badger and Silver Moon exchanged a glance, wondering if they were going insane.

Ah-Dai looked around and came back. When he heard the black and white iron-eating beasts talking, he was so frightened that he slipped and almost fell face-first to the ground.

Lin Manman and the other spirit pets were bewildered, but Xiao Qi, oblivious to everyone else, chatted with the black and white iron-eating beast about her experience using the smart bracelet.

At this moment, a tall man in a blue work uniform appeared on the path in the park, hurriedly pulling a small trolley.

"Hey, can you stop ordering me around eight times a day? Look how many zookeepers you've driven away in just three months! I'm the only one left for you to mess with, so please have some pity on me."

"Otherwise, I'll quit next month too!!"

The tall man's strong Northeastern accent made Lin Manman realize where this iron-eating beast had learned his accent.

"Hey? Where did this girl come from? What are you doing here?"

Lin Manman numbly pulled out Meng Wenbin's ID card, startling the tall man who exclaimed in surprise.

"So you're the director's daughter?... Hehe, hello, hello." After looking at the ID card, the man handed it back to Lin Manman and muttered something under his breath.

"How come I heard the director didn't have any family members either...?"

The tall man is named Zhong Zengwei. He is the main person in charge of this bear-shaped spirit beast park, and he is now almost the main person in charge of the black and white iron-eating beasts.

"Dawei, stop chatting, I'm starving. Quickly bring out all the food and share it with me and my buddies."

Upon hearing what the black and white iron-eating beast said, Zhong Zengwei's face turned green.

"Ancestor, this is your third meal today. At this rate, you alone will eat up the entire bear enclosure's food expenses."

Despite his words, his hands moved quickly, scooping out high-grade plant-based foods like mountain bamboo shoots and medicinal herbs without hesitation.

"Don't just focus on me, what about my buddy's too?" The black and white iron-eating beast plopped down and started gnawing on the mountain bamboo shoot.

Zhong Zengwei looked at Lin Manman with a troubled expression. "I've prepared spirit food suitable for earth and metal attributes. What attributes are your spirit pets?"

Seeing that there was a free lunch to be had, Lin Manman didn't stand on ceremony.

"Honey Badger, Pipi, Ruyi, go see if there's anything you like. Silver Moon, Rainbow Jade, Ah Dai, and Amber, wait a bit, I'll prepare some food for you when we get back." As she spoke, she handed Xiao Qi a meatball.

Amber grunted twice, indicating that she wanted to eat meat, lots of meat.

"No problem, I'll definitely ask your ex-owner to give you extra meat today." Lin Manman almost burst out laughing when she remembered how Amber addressed Gao Zhixian.

"You eat this stuff? Is it good? Can I try one too?" The black and white iron-eating beast saw the meal replacement meatballs that Lin Manman gave to Xiao Qi and felt that the bamboo shoots in its mouth didn't taste good anymore, so it wanted to try what the black meatballs in Xiao Qi's hand tasted like.

Zhong Zengwei's face darkened. "I'm telling you, it's not like I haven't tried it on you. It's the kind of stuff that looks like the dung of those deer next door."

"Oh...is it good?" It had never tried it before because it found it disgusting, but seeing how happily Xiaoqi was eating it, it suddenly wanted to give it a try.

Lin Manman silently took out an edible meal replacement ball and tossed it over.

The black and white iron-eating beast caught it with its paw, tossed it into its mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and said, "It's alright, sweet, but the flavor is a bit bland. It's too small, not enough for me, have a few more."

Lin Manman covered her face; she had never imagined that she would feel speechless over a panda.

The black and white iron-eating beast, thinking she was unhappy, put its paws on its hips even while sitting on the ground. "Why are you being so stingy? It's just a few meatballs. It's not like I don't have any, Dawei..."

"Ancestor, I beg you, please stop calling!" Zhong Zengwei bowed deeply, clasping his hands together in prayer.

"I've worked at the Spirit Beast Research Institute for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a spirit beast ordering a human around. Do you know what my other colleagues have been saying about me since you came along?"

Lin Manman looked at Zhong Zengwei with sympathy. Although the other spirit beast keepers might not be as comfortable, at least those spirit beasts weren't so talkative.

And even if they start babbling on and on, they don't understand.

That's different; it will attack you with your own language!

Working here is not only physically exhausting, but also mentally exhausting, and you have to endure unpredictable mental torment. It's just too difficult.

There's a wise saying among netizens who were very talented in their past lives, which is very suitable for Zhong Zengwei now: "Money is hard to earn and shit is hard to swallow."

Lin Manman silently lit a candle for him.

A long time has passed since Lin Manman sent a message to Gao Zhixian from the Deer-shaped Spirit Animal Ecological Park, and Gao Zhixian has not heard from Lin Manman since.

He sent her a message asking for directions, but received no response. He was worried that even with directions, she might still get lost, so he came over to check on her.

And then this hilarious scene unfolded.

"You've taken a liking to this one? I have no objection. As long as it's willing, you can take it away by contract." Gao Zhixian adjusted his glasses, as if he was also quite troubled by the black and white iron-eating beast.

To be precise, this black and white iron-eating beast is one of the most troublesome spirit beasts in the entire research institute. Its threat lies not in its physical strength, but in its extremely high intelligence.

It has a strong learning ability, but it doesn't use it to improve its strength. Instead, it uses it to outwit and outmaneuver its keepers and researchers.

I've heard it either evaded inspections or hid in the zookeeper's trailer trying to smuggle itself out. You can't expect it to choose a tamer and come out openly and honestly.

It said that it was only to get out and get some fresh air, and that it didn't really want to leave this blessed place where food, lodging, and servants were provided.

It eats a lot, up to eight meals a day. The metal materials it eats for cultivation must be of good quality; if the quality is poor, it will throw a tantrum and sit there cursing for half a day.

If it were a normal spirit beast, it would be one thing if it cursed and swore incomprehensibly, but the problem is that it can speak human language!!

To avoid making a fool of themselves at the Spirit Beast Research Institute, they had to be careful to serve this ancestor.

Upon hearing Gao Zhixian's words, Lin Manman felt unhappy for the first time that she could gain an advantage.

Although the black and white iron-eating beasts, in terms of potential, could almost completely overwhelm the spirit beasts she had seen before.

The Black and White Iron-Eating Beast's innate ability of "super intelligence" alone gives it an immeasurable future, not to mention that it also has a high level of mythical Iron-Eating Beast bloodline.

If it is willing to use its learning ability to improve its strength, it can be said that this is an extremely powerful spirit pet with an unimaginable future.

But when she thought about its mouth, Lin Manman couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

With such a large appetite and such a talkative personality, who could resist?

Thank you so much to all my readers for your generous donations and votes! When in doubt, I always start by offering my sincere thanks.
