Chapter 93: Food For Pet Beasts

“Ordinary rock snakes are not weak either. This kind of creature habitually inhabits the ground. It is a kind of fate to meet it on the surface. Old Sha, cultivate it well and strive to evolve into a ‘Steel Jade Snake’ as soon as possible!”

Bai Wushang encouraged Sha Buru from the bottom of his heart.

“I will work hard!” Sha Buru clenched his fists and was full of fighting spirit.

However, when he looked down at the basket of mountain-patterned stones, he was a little troubled.

“Yuan, this... this basket of stones I’ll treat it as a loan from you. I’ll return it to you after I work hard to earn money!”

“Sigh, you really don’t have to...”

Before Ouyang Yuan could finish his words, Sha Buru firmly interrupted him, “No, Yuan, I know you have money, and I know you want to take care of me, but I can’t take it like this. I’ve also earned a bit of money in the mystic realm. It’s enough to support Great White’s rations for half a month. You don’t have to worry.”

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Bai Wushuang seemed to have understood something.

The rock snake liked to live underground, and similarly, it ate all kinds of ores.

After leaving the mystic realm and arriving at the academy, there was probably a restriction on the surface.

The rock snake couldn’t dig casually, so it went to find its own food.

This kind of creature was also famous for its big appetite. Even if it only ate one or two meals a month, it would eat up to a hundred pounds of ores each meal.

......

Sha Buru was a nomadic person. No matter if it was in terms of image or speech, he didn’t look like he was rich.

He was hard pressed for money, and there would be financial pressure.

Bai Wushang could understand.

Because he was the same.

In the mystic realm “Sea Island”, there were indeed some vegetables, fruits, and meat rations.

But they couldn’t last for too long. It would finish in at most two to three weeks.

“I don’t have to worry too much about Milky Way. It has a small appetite, and its eating habits are similar to eating snacks. It’s just Ah Zhou...”

Bai Wushang knew very well that rock snakes of the same level had a bigger appetite.

However, Ah Zhou was already at the peak stage of youth form. If he ate freely, he could eat a lot of things.

He wasn’t picky about his food. Vegetables, fruits, raw meat, cooked meat, insects, anything was fine.

For wild transcendent creatures, the main function of food was to fill their stomachs and maintain their state of life.

But for a Master, the food of a pet not only had to be edible, but it also had to have sufficient nutritional value.

This was one of the key factors that determined the quality of growth. One couldn’t slack off.

After listening to Sha Buru’s heartfelt words, Ouyang Yuan was slightly stunned and didn’t insist too much.

“Alright! Brother Sha Buru, I won’t force you. I will lend you this basket of mountain-patterned stones. When you have money, remember to return it to me!”

“Yes! I got it!” Sha Buru nodded vigorously.

Ouyang Yuan smiled again and said, “But don’t be anxious. Calm down and take your time. Also, don’t forget that my family is in the jade jewelry business. I can get a lower price than the academy for such things. Next time, when you have to replenish your rations, order from me in advance. I will sell it to you at the cost price.”

“Really?!”

Sha Buru’s eyes lit up as he was overjoyed.

This way, he would be able to save at least half of his expenses, which would be extremely helpful to him.

He excitedly said, “Thank you, Yuan!”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll accept this basket of spirit herbs and raw meat as well. I’ll return you an equal amount of gold coins when I’m rich.”

Bai Wushang revealed a faint smile as he accepted this gift.

“Brother Bai, why are you also like this...”

Ouyang Yuan felt a little helpless. He didn’t think too much about it, but he felt that with Bai Wushang’s Soul Power, it was unlikely for him to fail.

Therefore, he prepared a few things in advance and prepared to celebrate with everyone. It could be considered as drawing a full stop and concluding their freshman trial.

Bai Wushang smiled but didn’t say anything. He turned around and picked two radishes for Milky Way to eat on his shoulders.

He then motioned for Ah Zhou to take whatever he wanted to eat.

Ah Zhou didn’t shy away from it. Ever since his condition had recovered to “Mild mental damage”, he was no longer troubled by the loss of appetite.

His stomach was already hungry, so he sat on the ground and started eating.

He mixed fruits and vegetables with fanged pork and even tasted a few cooked food on the table. When the food touched his taste buds, he felt quite surprised.

The rock snake, Great White, raised his head and stuck his head into the wicker basket. He used his big jaw to pick up a piece of mountain-patterned stone and bit it lightly.

“Crack crack crack –”

It sounded like the sound of a big bone being crushed. It was somewhat ear-piercing.

Bai Wushang observed for a while and felt that this mutated rock snake ate very elegantly. It was slow and unhurried.

He didn’t know whether it was because of its personality or because the food had changed and Great White was not used to it.

“Eh?” Sha Buru suddenly reacted. “Yuan, why don’t you let Pug out to eat?”

Hearing this, Ouyang Yuan, who was crouching behind the rock snake and carefully observing it, couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“Forget it. That id*ot has already destroyed my room. I’m worried that letting it out will mess up Brother Bai’s place too.”

“It’s fine. I’ll let Ah Zhou keep an eye on it.” Bai Wushang blinked and felt that it wasn’t a big problem.

“No, no, no, forget it, forget it!”

Ouyang Yuan shook his head like a rattle-drum and explained, “I learned my lesson after that incident. After interacting with Pug for several days, I’m sure... I’ll have to battle wits and courage with Pug for a very long time!”

“I really don’t dare to give it a full meal. Once it’s full, it starts to make trouble. If I’m not careful, it’ll start to destroy things. I’m... tired.”

Ouyang Yuan clutched his heart and looked sorrowful as he said, “I’ve calculated everything. It’s only been ten days since I left the mystic realm, and the furniture has been changed three times. And then today, while I was taking a shower, Pug helped me demolish the house. I’m going to die of anger thanks to Pug!”

“Brother Bai, tell me what to do. How should I tame this pet beast?”

“Well...”

Bai Wushang was also a little speechless. This puppy was indeed a weirdo among transcendent creatures.

It had two main characteristics. One of them was “Vigorous Energy”. The keywords for it were “Endurance,” “Stamina,” and “Vigor”.

If an ordinary dog-type transcendent creature would be exhausted after an hour of intense exercise, then Pug would need at least two to three hours before it would feel tired.

This characteristic was a double-edged sword. If used well, it could significantly increase the combat strength of the pet. If not used well, the Master would have a headache.

The other characteristic was “Strong Desire”.

Transcendent creatures that possessed this characteristic had an extremely strong curiosity, whether it was eating, playing, or anything dead or alive... as long as they had not seen it before, they would want to test it out, and give it a try, and understand it.

It could be said that the keyword for such characteristics was “Courting death.”.

In fact, that was indeed the case, especially in the wild. Pet beasts with the “Strong Desire” characteristic had a very high mortality rate, and they were often the ones who get themselves killed.

One couldn’t help but sigh at the miracles of the Creator. Pug, who had two types of talents, was still alive even after thousands of years of breeding. It was simply a miracle.

Bai Wushang pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, “Ouyang Yuan, how exactly did you contract Pug?”

Ouyang Yuan smiled embarrassedly and replied in an extremely bashful manner, “Brother Bai, I’m afraid you’ll laugh at me if I tell you this. On the third day of the trial, I dug a very big hole and accidentally caught this guy.”

“At that time, he was covered in weeds, mud, and all kinds of scars. Pug was also howling fiercely. I was so happy. At that time, I judged it to be a gray mountain wolf. That was a 6-star Mortal Bone level transcendent creature. Its personality was fierce and aggressive. It was the perfect pet beast for me to contract...”
