6 Chapter 6: Rainbow Pet
Translator: 549690339
“A second-order Arcane Star, it seems that this year’s top scorer in the Waterland City college entrance examination is already secured, and even the top scorer in the Sunbeam Province could be contested.”
Riding back to the entrance of the base, David Jones had a look of anticipation on his face.
“Huh? Huh?” At this moment, a question and curiosity from Coldjade Snake came from the Arcane Star in his mind, interrupting David’s fantasy about the future.
With one thought, a blue Contract Rune Circle appeared in front of him. He stretched out his left hand under the circle, and the petite Coldjade Snake landed on his palm.
The Coldjade Snake, that had just come out of the Star Ring, lazily stretched its body and then looked at David with satisfaction who had summoned it.
A Beast Taming Contract can transmit thoughts and emotions between the Trainer and the pet through psychic power and the Arcane Star.
This kind of mental communication is more intimate and quicker than verbal communication, allowing Trainers to communicate with their pets without any obstacles.
Feeling the closeness and satisfaction conveyed by the Coldjade Snake’s body and looking at its less than 20 cm petite figure curled up in his palm.
David happily stroked it and used another “Dragon Force” to strengthen it.
He smiled at the Coldjade Snake’s white, jade-like scales on its abdomen reflecting a faint, colorful glow under the sunlight.
David suddenly thought of something and said, “From now on, we’ll work hard together. How about giving you a nickname?”
“Yiyi.” (Make sure it’s a nice name!) The Coldjade Snake called out in a childish voice.
“Colorful scales? Rainbow? I think they both suit you!”
“Let’s just call you Rainbow, dazzling and beautiful, with a voice as crisp and ethereal as a bell!” David looked sincerely into its eyes as he said this.
“Yi.” (Not bad, I guess…) Rainbow’s expression was slightly tender, and it crisply replied. Then, it gently wrapped its body around David’s finger and rubbed its cheek against his face.
“Alright, alright, that’s a little ticklish. From now on, we’ll become stronger together.”
Although he said that, his joyful gaze never left Rainbow, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
“Pet Name”: Rainbow
“Pet Age”: One month
“Pet Type”: Ice, Psychic
“Species Level”: Purple Superior
“Grade”: Fresh Level VIII
“Species Skill”: Cold Breath, Ice Spike, Ice Armor, Ice Concealment, Infatuation, Psychic Power
“Pet Potential”: Purple SS tier
Looking at the re-“Identify” attributes, David smiled with satisfaction, “Rainbow, you go rest in the Star Ring for a while, getting used to the space inside.”
Rainbow nodded, and then, a flash of blue light, Rainbow’s figure disappeared from David’s palm
It seems that after the contract was completed, Rainbow had gained quite a lot of benefits from the “Dragon Force” and the power feedback of the contract.
Directly advancing from Fresh Level VII to Fresh Level VIII, it is estimated that it could soon leave the juvenile stage.
…
Two hours later, at the entrance of the Water Mountain Breeding Base’s Trainer Guild Hall, a crowd of people was queuing up to handle the procedures.
It seemed like they would have to return home late today. Looking at the bustling hall, David sighed helplessly and went straight to the end of the queue at the second window.
“Hey, did you successfully make a contract?”
Feeling a pat on his shoulder, David Jones frowned and turned his head to see his deskmate, the plump John.
“Of course I did. It’s a piece of cake for me. Look at your bright smile, did you succeed in making a contract as well?”
“Oh, come on! Can I even compare to you? Now you’re showing off, aren’t you? I didn’t expect that you hid your skills so deeply. We said we brothers would work hard together, but you secretly took off.”
Seeing the Rainbow summoned by David’s right hand with a flash of green light, John Hornby’s face was full of envy.
It was well-known that the strength of an initial trainer depended on their initial pet.
Being able to contract with a Superior initial pet already made a person outstanding among their peers in Waterland City.
Moreover, the green Rune Circle flashing around David’s Star Ring indicated that his Arcane Star had been cultivated to Class II. With this cultivation speed, he might become the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Waterland City next year.
He was lucky to have bought Life Water to contract the Superior Thorny Fish at the Water Mountain Breeding Base.
Not only did David successfully contract with Coldjade Snake, but his Arcane Star also broke through to Class II. This strong cultivation talent made John envious.
“The Thorny Fish is good too. It has multiple evolution paths, and the Trainer Guild recently discovered a new special evolved form for it,” David praised.
Chatting with John while waiting in line, time passed quickly. An hour went by before they realized it.
Finally, it was his turn. David pushed open the door as the smiling male student in front of him left. The light on the left side of door number 2 turned from red to green.
David entered the room and sat down in the chair as instructed.
First, he confirmed his identity through an iris scan and then handed Lina Quinn his pet contract information and certification card.
After a while, having read the information, Lina Quinn said in surprise, “According to the usual practice, you need to show me your pet Coldjade Snake so I can confirm the contract relationship.”
The light blue Rune Circle on the Star Ring appeared instantly, and Rainbow smoothly landed on David’s palm. It tilted its head cutely as if it hadn’t registered what was happening.
Then, with a flash of light, Rainbow transformed into green light and disappeared back into the Star Ring.
“A Class II Arcane Star?” Lina Quinn couldn’t help swallowing her saliva and said in surprise.
Maintaining a proper smile, David confidently said, “It’s probably because of my hard work and a bit of my talent that my cultivation speed is relatively fast.”
“Being able to contract with the Coldjade Snake during the novice stage and cultivating the Arcane Star to Class II shows that his Psychic Power is very high. His talent, Identify, might have some beneficial mutations related to psychic powers,” Lina thought as she handed David an exquisite badge engraved with a star, representing the identity of a primary trainer.
“You can download and use the Beast Trainer Catalogue with the identity chip in the badge on your mobile app store.”
“You applied for a pet loan contract; this is the contract to purchase the Coldjade Snake. You can check the detailed information,” Lina said, placing a stack of documents on the counter.
Looking at the loan information in front of him, David frowned, his expression showing some confusion.
“Excuse me, I remember that in the Star Calendar year 1024, the price for contracting and adopting a Coldjade Snake in Sunbeam Province was 3 million. If the official discount and martyr subsidy are included, it would be 1.5 million. Why is my current price 2.5 million?”
David was confused. An additional financial pressure of 1 million suddenly disrupted his plans for the future.
“That was the price two years ago. The price has been 5 million for the past two years. Since you chose the Coldjade Snake, I assume you also know about its evolution, the Commander’s Coldjade Python.”
“In 1025, when Dr. Carter from the Sunbeam College Research Department discovered the top-grade evolution path, the price of the Coldjade Snake has been soaring. It’s just that no one has successfully contracted one in the Water Mountain Breeding Base in the past two years, so the price has not been publicized,” Lina explained calmly.
“If you still have questions about the price, you can log in to the Trainer Guild’s official website on your mobile phone to check the details,” she added.
“Okay.” After signing the contract with slightly trembling hands, David thanked her and left with a heavy heart.
