Chapter 54 Stone Monkey
Li Qingzhou was walking alone on the street.
A huge screen on a building attracted his attention. An advertisement was playing on the screen.
It was a little monkey, similar to the golden monkey on the blue planet, with a beautiful face, upturned nostrils, and long golden hair on its gray-yellow fur.
The picture flashed, and the little monkey changed its appearance. It became more sturdy, with two fists against the ground, and fierce light flashing in its eyes.
It raised its fist, and the electric light on its fist was dazzling.
The next moment, the little monkey turned into a giant ape. It easily threw a punch and directly smashed a rockery in front of it.
"Welcome to sign up for Tianze Martial Arts School, where you can learn how to train various pets! Choose Tianze Martial Arts School to help you become a powerful beastmaster!"
A line of text appeared on the advertisement screen.
Li Qingzhou recognized the pet in the advertisement. It was a stone monkey. This kind of fierce beast lives in the Lingshi Forest outside Linyuan City.
It seems that the main pets cultivated by this Tianze Martial Arts School are stone monkeys, and they have mastered its evolutionary route, otherwise they would not use stone monkeys as promotional materials.
The innate skill of stone monkeys is petrification.
The petrification skill can form a layer of hardened material on the surface of the body, greatly enhancing defense.
Li Qingzhou quickly recalled the knowledge of stone monkeys in his head.
The basic attributes of pets like stone monkeys are not bad, and its innate skills are also good.
Moreover, stone monkeys can be easily found outside Linyuan City. As long as you have the strength, it is not difficult to contract.
Li Qingzhou was thinking in his mind that the stone monkey seemed to be quite suitable for his next pet to be contracted.
Just thinking about it, Li Qingzhou walked to the location of the Beast Tamer Association.
The signboard of the Beast Tamer Association is very eye-catching, and the magnificent large characters can be seen from a distance.
Li Qingzhou had nothing to do, so he walked into the Beast Tamer Association.
"See if there are any suitable tasks." He muttered in his heart and came to the task notice board in the task hall.
In the task section of professional beast masters, hundreds of tasks are densely listed.
He glanced around and found a task, the task location is in Lingshi Forest.
[Collecting Wood Spirit Ears in Lingshi Forest]
[Difficulty: Three Stars]
[Requirement Introduction: Fresh Wood Spirit Ears are needed, and they must be preserved in special containers after picking. The materials must be submitted within 24 hours after picking. ]
[Reward: 50,000 yuan]
The reward for this task is very high. The market value of a single Wood Spirit Ear is only 30,000 yuan, and the reward for this task is 20,000 more than the selling price.
It’s just that the evolution materials are not easy to collect, and it takes some time to complete the task.
Lingshi Forest is very large. It is not easy to find a Wood Spirit Ear in the forest. If it is easy, then the beast masters have made a fortune by picking materials.
Li Qingzhou thought about it. He was very tempted by the reward for this task, but it would take a lot of time.
He suddenly remembered the stone monkey advertisement he had just seen on the street. The stone monkey lives in Lingshi Forest. If he went to Lingshi Forest to do the task, maybe he could find a potential and powerful stone monkey contract.
Thinking of this, Li Qingzhou immediately made up his mind to accept the task.
After confirming that he would accept the task of picking wood spirit ears, he took his ID to find the staff to register and receive the task.
"Hello, I want to accept the task of collecting wood spirit ears in Lingshi Forest." Li Qingzhou put his ID on the counter and said to the staff.
"Please wait, I will register for you. Hey, you are Li Qingzhou!" The staff was surprised when he saw Li Qingzhou's identity information.
"I am." Li Qingzhou was stunned. He didn't know why the staff was so surprised. He had obviously done several tasks.
"Are you Li Qingzhou from the First Beast Taming Academy in Linyuan City? The last task you took was to clean up the sandworms in the Wuyuan Desert?" The staff looked at Li Qingzhou and asked as if to confirm.
"Yes." Li Qingzhou nodded.
"Hello, please wait a moment, I will notify the management of the association." The staff said with a smile, then turned around and picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"President, Li Qingzhou, I'm here!" The staff spoke, and a voice came from the phone.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a black jacket and with a straight figure came towards Li Qingzhou.
Li Qingzhou recognized him. He was Xing Fangzhou, the vice president of the Beast Tamer Association. He had spoken to the students on the stage during the Cuiwei Mountain Trial.
"Hello." Xing Fangzhou smiled and extended his hand.
"Hello, President Xing." Li Qingzhou also extended his hand and shook hands with Xing Fangzhou gently.
"The association has already known about your deeds in the Wuyuan Desert. In order to commend your heroic behavior, the association has decided to give you the treatment of a distinguished member. Of course, this is free and you don't need to pay any fees." Xing Fangzhou said kindly.
"Distinguished member?" Li Qingzhou was still a little confused. He didn't know that there was a gap in the membership level in the association.
"Generally speaking, members who join the Beastmaster Association are ordinary members, and the membership fees they pay are not much; distinguished members need to pay several times the membership fees of ordinary members every year, and they also enjoy the association's distinguished treatment, such as dedicated personnel, special cars to pick up and drop off, and every time they go on a mission, they can choose any two mission props from the association's resource library. You can read the association's manual for detailed information." Xing Fangzhou explained.
The honorable members of the association are generally senior professional beast masters. The Beast Master Association gave Li Qingzhou enough face by allowing him, an apprentice beast master, to become an honorable member without paying any fees.
"Thank you." Li Qingzhou thanked him politely.
"Well, you are a handsome man, a real young hero." Xing Fangzhou looked at Li Qingzhou and nodded in praise.
"You are flattering." Li Qingzhou said modestly.
"If you have anything to do in the association, you can find me. I will go to work first." Xing Fangzhou said to Li Qingzhou with a smile, then turned to look at the staff at the counter and ordered: "Enter Li Qingzhou's information into the honorable member archive, and he will be an honorable member of the association in the future."
"Okay, President." The staff nodded in agreement.
Xing Fangzhou waved to Li Qingzhou with a warm face, then turned and left.
"You are amazing. You have become an honorable member of the Beast Master Association at such a young age." The staff was amazed while entering Li Qingzhou's information into the system.
Li Qingzhou smiled and nodded.
To be honest, he was a little confused. He just came to take the task, and he didn't expect such a thing.
However, the benefits of this VIP member sounded good, which could help him better complete the tasks he took in the Beast Tamer Association.
"The information has been recorded. This is your combat recorder." The staff handed him a bracelet respectfully.
Li Qingzhou took out his card and prepared to pay the deposit.
"You are now a VIP member and do not need to pay a deposit." The staff explained.
"Oh, thank you." Li Qingzhou nodded, took the combat recorder, and turned to leave.
"It's amazing that an apprentice beastmaster can become a VIP member." The staff looked at Li Qingzhou's back and couldn't help but exclaimed again, his eyes full of envy and admiration.
