The entertainment industry needs an environment, just like Azure Star in my previous life.
First, there must be a stable national society, and second, there must be a group of people who are full and have nothing to do. Only then can the entertainment industry survive and develop.
In the world of Azure Star, Lin Chuan doesn't know about other human countries, after all, he has never been abroad, and the network communications of various countries are all walled off, with only a small amount of information flowing through without discerning the truth. But as far as the Star Rock Federation is concerned, it is very stable and safe. However, the Star Rock Federation does not have many people who are full and have nothing to do. Or, to put it another way, there is no such situation in the human society of this world. Any leisure time and money after being full are basically used to cultivate Beast Masters. After all, this is an extraordinary path. If you really embark on it, you can at least extend your lifespan and stay youthful, which is very appealing.
Therefore, Azure Star is destined not to be able to develop a flourishing entertainment industry like Azure Star in the previous life, and even give rise to various strange and incomprehensible subculture circles.
Here, the entertainment industry has no future and no fan base.
Despite this, despite having no future and lacking a fan base, in terms of effect, there is still a little bit.
At least according to others' evaluations, Lin Chuan's promotional video is very unique and eye-catching, making viewers can't help but laugh from the bottom of their hearts.
Those overalls, that middle-parted hairstyle, those exaggerated dance moves.
If someone doesn't laugh, that person must have undergone professional training.
Then, the key comes!
The key to this video is not Lin Chuan's styling and exaggerated dance, but the cute calls of Guoguo and Sakura at the end.
To humans, those are cute and adorable calls. Many girls and tough men sent bullet comments saying their maiden hearts melted.
However, in the ears of their Spirit Beasts, it's different.
Especially Sakura, the phrase 'If you don't come, you're a skinny dog' shouted using Confusing Words, although it's just a video file and across a screen, it still had an effect on many Baby Spirit Beasts.
Most Spirit Beasts are pure and innocent. Except for a very few who mingle in human social circles, such as the Deputy Head of the Security Department at the Tianshang Town Beastmaster Association branch, other Spirit Beasts, especially those in their infancy and Growth stages with incomplete intelligence, are truly innocent babies!
Praise them for being cute, handsome, and strong, and they will be very happy and delighted, especially when their Beast Master praises them, which can make them roll around happily in the Beast Master space.
Conversely, if they are spoken ill of, they will quickly become sad and lost, shedding tears.
And if you mock them to their face, calling them skinny dogs, then…
...
Tianshang Town, Hubin East Road, Xinxin Community, Room 707, Building 8.
A family named Sun lives here. There's nothing special to say about the parents and elders of this family; they are just ordinary commoners.
What's worth mentioning is their child, a girl named Sun Yinyin! She is 16 years old this year, just an adult.
Her appearance is above average, her skin is a healthy light yellow, she has a neat single ponytail, and she is neither tall nor short, fat nor thin. In short, in terms of appearance, she is a very ordinary passerby girl.
Her appearance is so, but Sun Yinyin's Beast Master talent is truly extraordinary!
Through the Awakening Ceremony, she awakened a third-tier Beast Master talent, Wolf King Blood, which has the effect of increasing the cultivation and Growth speed of wolf-type Spirit Beasts, enhancing their ferocity in combat, boosting attack and speed, and allowing Spirit Beasts to be immune to some weakening effects.
A third-tier Beast Master talent is absolutely top-tier and rare among common people, not to mention it's Wolf King Blood. The effect is not considered powerful, but wolf-type Spirit Beasts usually have very high potential.
Because of her exceptional talent, Sun Yinyin naturally wanted a higher starting point and a better initial Spirit Beast. She wanted to save more money to choose Spirit Beasts across regions. However, due to family reasons, Sun Yinyin's parents couldn't raise enough cross-region fees, and in the end, she could only go to the Tianshang Town Breeding Base to receive one for free.
Because of this, Sun Yinyin went late, and only one Golden Silk Werewolf, which was left over by other new Beast Masters due to depression, remained. Its appearance was roughly a 1-meter tall, human-shaped husky with a dog head.
There were no other choices, so Sun Yinyin had to contract this Golden Silk Werewolf and named it Dayin.
There was no special meaning; she just wanted to establish a Yin family. Sun Yinyin had already planned that her second Spirit Beast would be called Eryin.
Back to the main topic.
When Sun Yinyin brought this Golden Silk Werewolf home, after a brief period of getting along, cultivating, and understanding, she realized that the reason her Golden Silk Werewolf was depressed was because it was exceptionally talented!
Dayin mastered a skill that no other Golden Silk Werewolf could possibly master, and it was precisely this skill that often caused Dayin stomach pain, physical discomfort, and difficulty sleeping and eating.
This skill is Flame Fist!
Generally speaking, Flame Fist cannot possibly be mastered by a Golden Silk Werewolf.
Because Golden Silk Werewolf is a metal-attribute Spirit Beast, and Flame Fist is a fire-attribute skill, and fire counters metal!
However, in this world, there are always exceptionally talented beings or serendipitous encounters that achieve things that are normally impossible, and Dayin is one such case.
Sun Yinyin attends Tianshang Town's 5th Beast Master Middle School. The '5th' here is not a ranking of teaching quality, but the order of establishment time.
If we were to discuss teaching quality, the 5th Beast Master Middle School barely surpasses the other middle schools because the school's founder is a super-rich boss, very, very wealthy, who provided the 5th Beast Master Middle School with many benefits and treatments that other Beast Master middle schools don't have, such as Spirit Beast summer camps, and exchange student programs with academies in other large cities. These are not available in the other Beast Master academies in town.
Even in such a school environment, Sun Yinyin's theoretical knowledge scores were consistently among the top in her grade, often ranking in the top ten. She also awakened a third-tier Beast Master talent and contracted the exceptionally talented Dayin. Sun Yinyin's journey as a Beast Master can be described as smooth sailing.
More crucially, when Sun Yinyin was doing a novice mission, she passed by a desolate area, stumbled upon a stone, picked it up, and found it was a Spirit Beast fossil.
Although it was useless, it held significant research value. She immediately sold it to a research institute specializing in Spirit Beast fossils, earning 1 million star rock coins.
The day before yesterday, Sun Yinyin also took Dayin to participate in a small Baby Cup organized by the community supermarket, held in the park, and won the championship, receiving a prize of 300,000 star rock coins.
In summary, Sun Yinyin's start as a Beast Master was simply a 'heavenly hand,' like she had the protagonist's script.
This caused Sun Yinyin to become a bit conceited.
In one sentence! She didn't know what an opponent was!
The Spirit Beasts of her peers were like weaklings, taken down by Dayin with a single paw!
At this moment, Sun Yinyin was browsing the Beastmaster Association's website forum.
Due to such a smooth start, Sun Yinyin no longer planned to follow her original cautious development route, which was to complete novice missions. Since she had such a great advantage, she wanted to seize the opportunity to snowball! She planned to take the route of earning money by playing in the Baby Cup, fighting to support fighting! She would enter the enrollment assessment three months later with an invincible momentum, and then successfully enroll in one of the Eight Great Academies!
There are many recent new Beast Master competitions.
Sun Yinyin's first choice was a large Baby Cup with a huge prize pool, where even the top 16 could win a good amount of prize money.
Unfortunately, large Baby Cups are not held in every city; at least Tianshang Town doesn't have a large Baby Cup, requiring her to go to a higher-level city to participate.
The second choice would be a medium or small-sized Baby Cup that is close to home and offers good prize money.
Thus, Sun Yinyin quickly scanned the various Baby Cup promotional information on the Beastmaster Association's website forum, including competition times, scales, and prize money.
Just then, a Baby Cup promotional video entered Sun Yinyin's field of vision.
Tianshang Town, East River Suburb, Lin's Farm, Hua Ye Ye Cup.
Competition start date: July 13th. Registration deadline countdown: 6 hours.
Competition prize money: Champion 400,000, Runner-up 200,000, Third Place 100,000. Every participant will receive a small gift worth 10,000 star rock coins provided by Lin's Farm.
Sun Yinyin nodded slightly.
Judging from this, the Hua Ye Ye Cup situation is quite good. It's close to home, and the prize money is decent for a small Baby Cup, so it's listed as a backup option.
So, Sun Yinyin clicked on the video, preparing to watch the Hua Ye Ye Cup promotional video in more detail.
The video began.
First, there were beautiful pastoral scenes. Sun Yinyin secretly nodded, thinking to herself that she hadn't seen suburban scenery in a long time, and it would be nice to go see the scenery and have a spring outing picnic.
Then, there was Flower Leaf Leaf doing morning exercises neatly lined up like elementary school students in the morning light, their 'yi yi ya ya' sounds and clumsy movements further captivating Sun Yinyin. Dayin was developing very smoothly, and because of this, Sun Yinyin had already started planning to contract Eryin. Flower Leaf Leaf, a typical support-type Spirit Beast, was among her candidates. Hmm, there's another reason to participate; she can go see what the Flower Leaf Leaf there are like. If possible, she can discuss with the farm owner whether she can contract a suitable Flower Leaf Leaf there.
After that, there was the farm's unique competition venue. It wasn't as formal and exquisite as those for large Baby Cups, but it had a unique charm. Especially, tall trees were transplanted at all four corners of the competition arena, and their extending branches covered half of the venue. This ingenious competition environment made Sun Yinyin even more excited.
At this moment, the video's perspective suddenly shifted from far to near, arriving at the center of the competition venue. There, a young man dressed in black overalls, with a middle-parted hairstyle, was holding a basketball.
Beside the young man, on his left and right, were two Flower Leaf Leaf wearing sunglasses, looking very arrogant.
Holding the basketball, the young man spun it on his fingertip.
The next moment, he moved.
Watching the young man's awkward dance in the video and listening to his self-introduction as a new Beast Master with two and a half years of practice, Sun Yinyin was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.
This person is truly quite amusing. As an opponent, he should be very interesting.
It was at this moment that the two Flower Leaf Leaf beside the young man made cute 'yi yi ying ying ying' sounds. These adorable sounds made Sun Yinyin even happier, and her desire to have a Flower Leaf Leaf as her Eryin intensified.
“Dayin, what do you think…”
Sun Yinyin wanted to ask Dayin's opinion, to see if Dayin found Spirit Beasts like Flower Leaf Leaf pleasing to the eye. She didn't want to actually contract Flower Leaf Leaf as her second Spirit Beast only for Dayin to have conflicts with it. Conflicts between contracted Spirit Beasts are the last thing a Beast Master wants to see.
However, before Sun Yinyin could finish her question.
Dong!!
The Golden Silk Werewolf named Dayin jumped onto the table, its fiery fist shattering and piercing Sun Yinyin's computer screen, leaving a smoking hole.
Sun Yinyin was stunned, frozen in place.
What's going on? What happened? Where am I?
Dayin: No one is allowed! To call me a skinny dog again!
Because it ate little and slept poorly, it grew relatively thin and small. In the circle of Golden Silk Werewolf companions at the breeding base, Dayin was often bullied.
After all, wolf-type Spirit Beasts are not as gentle as Flower Leaf Leaf; they are usually active, lively, mischievous, and very competitive among their own kind.
And while Dayin was being bullied, it was also called a skinny dog by other Golden Silk Werewolf!
Skinny dog, these two words, are an untouchable sore spot and forbidden zone for Dayin!
“Woof, woof, awoo! Woof woof!”
Coming back to her senses, seeing the broken computer screen, Dayin frantically explained to Sun Yinyin.
Although she couldn't directly understand Dayin's wolf howls and dog barks, having established a contract, she could somewhat perceive Dayin's emotions.
That feeling of being wronged and angry, that strong competitive urge, Sun Yinyin could feel it.
“Such strong fighting spirit.”
“It seems this battle must be fought.”
“Lin Chuan? I hope your strength is as unique as your dancing. Don't get taken out by my Dayin with one punch.”
Lin's Farm.
Lin Chuan was currently adding points to Guoguo and Sakura when he suddenly sneezed.
“Who's talking bad about me behind my back?”
Lin Chuan muttered to himself.
He had an instinctive feeling of being targeted by something strange, but the threat wasn't great. Lin Chuan shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
Recalling his attention, Lin Chuan's gaze returned to Guoguo and Sakura in front of him.
He had just taken another stroll through the Beastmaster Association's trade district.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan found a Rooting and a Growth skill material, just enough to supplement Guoguo and Sakura, increasing Guoguo's Growth proficiency and Sakura's Rooting proficiency.
The result was within Lin Chuan's expectations.
Guoguo's Growth broke through from proficient to master level, and Sakura's Rooting also broke through from proficient to master level.
Although it was within his expectations, Lin Chuan was still very happy. He immediately ordered a whole roasted chicken family bucket to reward himself, then processed the leftover bones into a slurry with a wall breaker and mixed them into Guoguo and Sakura's nutrient soil so they could also have a taste.
Thus, Guoguo and Sakura's three innate basic skills, Photosynthesis, Rooting, and Growth, all reached expert, master, and master levels, respectively.
Lin Chuan rubbed Guoguo and Sakura's heads.
Due to Growth and advancement, Guoguo and Sakura's woody skin became firm and smooth. The feel was much better than before, so soft and springy that it was truly irresistible.
Lin Chuan reluctantly withdrew his hand.
Although Guoguo and Sakura kept crying 'yi yi ya ya ying ying ying,' wanting Lin Chuan to continue petting them as a reward, Lin Chuan still knew when to stop. If he kept petting them, he wouldn't have the mind to do anything else.
With a thought, his watch glowed slightly, and Lin Chuan recalled Guoguo and Sakura to his Beast Master space, simultaneously revealing a heartfelt smile.
The two little darlings' small bodies had gotten tougher again.
Sigh, I truly mourn for the opponents in the Hua Ye Ye Cup.
Tell me, tell me, don't be like this! Even cheating needs to follow basic principles, okay!
How can other babies cope with these 108,000 HP! How are they supposed to fight?
