Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 177 Dragon Karl

"Now you can talk about it, right?" Meng Wenbin raised an eyebrow at the dragon egg.

Lin Manman scratched her cheek, pulled him to a corner, and then told him about the Slav dragon.

Even Meng Wenbin took a deep breath.

He had thought this dragon egg might be extraordinary, but he never expected it to be so incredible.

This was without Lin Manman telling him her own speculation.

If Lin Manman told him, based on the information she obtained from the system, that Slavic dragons would likely have nine heads and nine attributes upon reaching adulthood.

Even former coalition lawmakers might not be able to remain calm.

Therefore, Lin Manman concealed the system's detailed explanation of the Slavic dragon's growth talent.

Even with three dragons possessing three different talents and attributes, they are still considered to have abnormally high talents.

"You just said you have a way to awaken it? Try it. If you can awaken it, awaken the contract as soon as possible."

After Meng Wenbin finished speaking, he turned around and told the people who delivered the dragon eggs today not to spread the news they had seen today.

After Lin Manman selected "Confirm Activation" on the system page, the rows of material information made her frown like a kitten.

Everything else is fine, but a level nine dragon-attribute crystal core? Huh? Where is she, a level three beast tamer, supposed to get a level nine dragon-attribute crystal core?

Ice Lotus and Fire Abyss Stone are materials with extremely pure ice and fire energy, and such high-grade materials are rarely found on the market.

She either had to try her luck at auction houses, or she could only commission an expedition team to collect the materials in specific secret locations.

But let alone whether she has enough money, even if she did, the long process of collecting materials would take forever before she could awaken the Slavic Dragon.

At that time, I'm afraid the news will leak out, and in the end, she'll only be doing the work for someone else.

Among these requirements is the fruit of the Tree of Life, which she can barely meet.

Although she doesn't have the fruit of the Tree of Life, she has the higher-grade Spring of Life. Even though it's diluted, it shouldn't be much worse than the fruit of life.

After giving his instructions, Meng Wenbin noticed her pale face and asked, "What's so difficult about waking it up?"

"To awaken the Slavic dragon's consciousness, we still need... a tiny bit of materials..." Lin Manman said tactfully.

"Just tell me what you need. If I don't have it here, I'll have your senior brother get it from the Alliance Treasury!" Meng Wenbin waved his hand. Getting materials was easy enough, wasn't it?

He felt that his accumulation over the years was insufficient, and he did not believe that China's accumulation over the years was not enough.

Lin Manman's expression immediately changed, and she chuckled as she read the materials list to him.

This time, it was Meng Wenbin's turn to look upset.

Lin Manman: Hehe.

Meng Wenbin: No, not at all.

"What's a coincidence is that I happen to have a level nine sub-dragon's crystal core here, but I'll have to ask your senior brother to make the trip for the Ice Soul Lotus and Fire Abyss Stone. The other materials are fine, none of them are rare. I'll have your Uncle Shi look for them in the warehouse later."

As he spoke, Meng Wenbin took out a brown crystal core from his spatial ring, which was larger than Lin Manman's fist.

Lin Manman was pleasantly surprised. She had just been troubled by the materials, and in the blink of an eye, Meng Wenbin had solved the problem for her.

"Thank you, teacher! You're awesome!"

Meng Wenbin sent a message to Fu Mingyuan, asking him to bring the Ice Soul Lotus and Fire Abyss Stone as soon as possible. Now, the way he looked at Lin Manman was almost the same way Lin Manman looked at their boss.

What a spendthrift money-devouring beast!

The alliance's materials can consume his contribution points, but this level nine dragon-attribute crystal core is extremely rare and hard to come by.

Meng Wenbin couldn't help but sigh. No wonder people say they can't afford to raise children; a child like this is truly unaffordable.

Fu Mingyuan had barely returned to his residence at the Alliance headquarters when he received a message from Meng Wenbin. Although puzzled, he immediately went to retrieve the materials.

When he returned to the villa, it was almost midnight. Lin Manman and her apprentice Meng Wenbin were guarding the dragon egg in the living room.

"Did you bring the materials?" The master and apprentice looked at him expectantly when they saw him arrive.

This left Fu Mingyuan speechless for a moment. Without saying a word, he simply started taking things out.

"Hurry, hurry, try it now." With all the materials gathered, Meng Wenbin urged Lin Manman to try to awaken the Slav dragon's consciousness.

Lin Manman nodded, piled all the materials around the dragon egg, and then took out her bottle of diluted life spring water, opened the cap, and placed it in the center of the materials.

Then I selected to confirm the wake-up in the system.

In an instant, the pile of materials, which was even larger than a dragon egg, transformed into a colorful energy ball.

The dragon egg could not absorb such a huge amount of energy immediately, so the excess energy surrounded the dragon egg, enveloping it in a thick cocoon.

Seeing that there was still a lot of life energy dissipating in the air, Lin Manman felt a pang of heartache and quickly used the contract to call Xiao Qi back.

Don't let Xiaoqi's small wings fool you; she flies quite fast.

Not long after receiving Lin Manman's message, he appeared by her side.

Sensing the dissipating life energy, Xiao Qi immediately began to absorb it without Lin Manman needing to say anything.

Seeing this scene, and noticing his teacher staring at the dragon egg with a tense and expectant expression, Fu Mingyuan could guess what was going on.

He knew just as much about the dragon egg as Lin Manman did.

He was even one of the people who tried to form a contract, but unfortunately, although he could sense that there was still a life force inside the dragon egg, he was never able to awaken its soul from its slumber.

He thought the egg might become a special specimen for the research institute, but he never expected Meng Wenbin to bring it to Lin Manman.

As time passed, the three of them went from being tense and expectant to calming down.

Finally, Meng Wenbin and Fu Mingyuan had already sat down to meditate and cultivate, leaving only Lin Manman yawning, forcing herself to keep a close eye on her precious dragon egg.

Finally, after more than three hours, the thick cocoon of energy that had enveloped the dragon egg was absorbed down to just a thin layer.

The dragon scales on the surface of the dragon egg also emitted a chilling light, and its aura was even more mysterious and powerful than when she first saw it.

Seeing that there was less than one-fifth of the diluted Spring of Life left in the bottle, Lin Manman couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Fortunately, Xiao Qi had absorbed quite a bit, so it wasn't too much of a waste.

As the dragon egg absorbed the last bit of energy, Lin Manman heard the familiar system notification sound.

[Special Note: The Slavic dragon egg has been activated and gained consciousness.]

The contract status column has also changed to "Contractable".

Lin Manman's face lit up with surprise. Without even calling Meng Wenbin and Fu Mingyuan, she threw the contract directly at the dragon egg.

The Slavic dragon had been asleep for a long time, and now it seemed to know that it was Lin Manman who had awakened it, and it developed a strong dependence on the soul power that Lin Manman had infused into it.

The contract process went extremely smoothly. By the time Meng Wenbin and Fu Mingyuan heard the commotion, stopped their cultivation, and opened their eyes to look over, Lin Manman was already affectionately holding the dragon egg and naming it.

Meng Wenbin: ...

Fu Mingyuan: ...

The contract was signed faster than she could collect money, and after they had been busy for half a day, Slav Dragon regained consciousness, and she didn't even call out to them?

Is she afraid someone will steal her dragon?

Noticing their gazes, Lin Manman gave them an awkward smile, "I was too excited and couldn't help but sign the contract first..."

Meng Wenbin shook his head and sighed, "How's the situation now? Still no chance to hatch?"

Lin Manman shook her head regretfully, "Karl said it has been dormant for too long and is still quite weak. It will need some time to recover before it can hatch."

Meng Wenbin and Fu Mingyuan exchanged a glance. This Slavic dragon was indeed extraordinary, being able to communicate clearly with its tamer even in its unhatched state.
