Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 163 Call Me Boss!

Lin Manman was caught in a dilemma, and finally couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Excuse me, how much does this guy spend on food each month?"

Zhong Zengwei immediately put on a pained expression, "Don't even mention a month, you should ask about a day..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Zhixian interrupted him with a cough.

"Well, actually, don't be fooled by how much he eats. The main thing is that he doesn't have much to do here. All he does every day is eat and sleep."

"If you take it outside, train it regularly every day, and have other companions with it, it definitely won't eat as much."

"Besides, it's normal for beast tamers to spend some money to raise spirit pets. Your talent allows you to earn money quickly, and if you join the research institute, you can get an extra salary. It will definitely be more than enough to support them."

Gao Zhixian deliberately looked away as he pushed up his glasses, and a hint of lewdness could be faintly seen on his usually gentle and refined face.

Lin Manman thought he made sense. She still had more than 60 million yuan, which should be enough to support them for a while. After she had a better understanding of the situation in the capital, she would open her spirit beast shop.

Then we won't have to worry about being eaten out of house and home by this panda.

Ultimately, it was her covetousness that prevailed. Lin Manman smiled and approached the black and white iron-eating beast, who was chatting away in a fluent Mandarin accent.

"Since you're friends with my Xiaoqi, how about you consider becoming my spirit pet?"

The black and white iron-eating beast held up its dark, round glasses and looked her up and down with disdain.

"Although you are Xiao Qi's beast tamer, you are too weak and unworthy to be my beast tamer. Besides, I have eight meals a day here and people wait on me, why should I go with you?"

Lin Manman: ……

Gao Zhixian: ...

Chung Tseng-wei: TAT

"Go with her, and you'll be able to eat more delicious food outside. Didn't you say last time you wanted to try human food?"

Gao Zhixian couldn't help but try to persuade them, but he didn't dare to say too much, otherwise his shrewd junior sister would see that they were in a hurry to send this ancestor away, and she would definitely notice something was wrong and then change her mind.

"Yes, yes, didn't you say you wanted to try that dessert guy last time? We're in such a remote place, there's nowhere to buy it. You go out with this lady, there are plenty of places outside."

Zhong Zengwei nodded hurriedly in agreement. If he didn't get rid of this troublesome person soon, he really would have to resign!

The black and white iron-eating beast chewed the bamboo shoots at a noticeably slower pace.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah!"

Xiao Qi was also describing the outside world to it; having followed Lin Manman, it had become a worldly beast.

"Is human food really that delicious?" The black and white iron-eating beast looked conflicted.

"Squeak, squeak!" Ruyi thought Lin Manman really wanted to sign a contract with the Black and White Iron-Eating Beast, so she also spoke up to express her opinion.

When it comes to human food, it has eaten quite a lot of human food and has a lot to say about it. Although some tastes don't suit it, sweets are really great!

As it spoke, it tapped Rainbow Jade's scales, and Rainbow Jade understood and spat out a packet of candy from its internal space.

Xiao Qi also cooperated by taking one out and placing it in the hands of the black and white iron-eating beast.

The black and white iron-eating beast smelled the sweet aroma from under the packaging bag, and its saliva was already dripping to the ground. It couldn't wait to tear open the packaging and throw the candy into its mouth.

In an instant, a wonderfully sweet taste filled its mouth, and its chubby paws cupped its cheeks in blissful delight.

It had never eaten anything like this before, food that made a beast happy just by holding it in its mouth. All those spirit bamboo shoots and mountain fruits became useless in the face of candy.

Seeing that her friends seemed to really like the black and white iron-eating beast, Lin Manman couldn't help but smile. It seemed she had made the right decision.

"Little sister, do you really want to sign a contract with me? Then can you let me eat this every day?" The black and white iron-eating beast pointed at the candy bag on the ground, its black beady eyes shining brightly.

Hmm? All you want is candy? Lin Manman smiled with delight. "Of course, eat as much as you want!"

The price of sugar in human society is ridiculously low; as long as it doesn't damage her teeth, she can afford to feed her as much as she wants.

However... since it cultivates by absorbing metal, it shouldn't be afraid of rotting its teeth, right?

The black and white iron-eating beast happily came over and slapped Lin Manman on the shoulder, "Hey, what are we waiting for? Let's make a contract, little sister."

Fortunately, this black and white iron-eating beast had spent a considerable amount of time with humans at the research institute and knew to hold back its strength during physical contact; otherwise, a slap from a level four spirit beast could have caused her internal injuries.

Even though the other party held back, Lin Manman was still knocked back two steps, and her shoulder felt a burning pain.

Lin Manman forced a smile. They hadn't even signed the contract yet, and they were already attacking her beast tamer?

Her desire to form a contract with the other party wavered for a moment.

"What's wrong? Are you so happy you've gone mad? Stop spacing out and hurry up and make the contract!" The black and white iron-eating beast stood with its hands on its hips, looking very proud.

Gao Zhixian clenched his fist, lowered his nose, and coughed softly. "Junior Sister, hurry up, we still have two glutinous rice balls to explore."

Zhong Zengwei wanted to offer advice, but felt he had no right to do so, so he could only stand there anxiously.

"Eek?" Xiao Qi flew to Lin Manman and asked in confusion.

It felt that Lin Manman really liked its friend, so it also really wanted Lin Manman to form a contract with its friend.

Lin Manman patted Xiao Qi's head. The slap from the black and white iron-eating beast brought her back to her senses. After regaining her rationality, she could see that Gao Zhixian and Zhong Zengwei were eager for her to form a contract with the black and white iron-eating beast.

But given the current atmosphere, it seemed she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

After a few moments of deliberation, she finally decided to step forward and sign a contract with the black and white iron-eating beast, hoping that this ancestor would really not eat her out of house and home.

"The contract is complete. From now on, you'll be our family's ninth child. What name should we give you?"

The black and white iron-eating beast was stunned. "Why am I the ninth one? These others are so much younger than me, yet they're ranked ahead of me?"

"This is based on the order in which they joined our family, not on their strength," Lin Manman said, shrugging.

The black and white iron-eating beast, hands on hips, asked, "So, does my buddy's nickname 'Little Seven' mean he's the seventh in his family?"

Lin Manman blinked. "No, Xiao Qi should be the fifth in the family."

"Then my name will be Boss." The black and white iron-eating beast smiled contemptuously. With its super intelligence, it discovered the bug between the ranking and the name.

Lin Manman: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Friends: ? ? ? ? ? ?

No, you're using your superior intelligence to exploit bugs?

Lin Manman seemed to have already seen herself driven mad by this ancestor in the future.

What to do? She started to regret it. Could she ask her second senior brother to start researching how to break the contract now?

"A name is a very important title. Calling it 'boss' is too hasty." Lin Manman tried her best to smile and communicate with it. She didn't want to acknowledge her spirit pet as her boss!

"I think the title 'Boss' is great. It not only shows my strength but also sounds very imposing. Just call me Boss!" The black and white iron-eating beast waved its paws, looking like it had made up its mind.

The honey badger stared blankly, its mind a little dazed. Was it the boss of the house?

But the newcomer says its name should be "Boss," so who is the boss?

Although the Honey Badger wasn't the first to form a contract with Lin Manman, it formed a contract with Rainbow Jade only one day apart, and it had just hatched when it formed a contract with Rainbow Jade.

In the beginning, this family was supported by it, and it also took care of the younger siblings.

It felt perfectly reasonable that it considered itself the head of the household.

But today it seems its position in this family is becoming unstable?
