Taking the money out of the red envelope and putting it into his pocket, Lin Chuan handed the empty, exquisite red envelope shell to the two little ones.
Watching the two little ones, wearing small red flowers and holding the empty red envelopes, excitedly babbling and squealing, Lin Chuan revealed the satisfied smile of an old father.
Clear rewards and punishments, and reasonable recovery of funds.
How could there be such an excellent Beast Master as him?
Looking at the two little ones now, their enthusiasm was completely ignited!
Presumably, in future training sessions, thinking about future red envelopes and looking at the small red flowers on their chests, they will be even more active and work harder, fighting more persistently in battles, with a firmer will to fight, striving tirelessly for his Eight Great Academies admission letter!
After rewarding the two little ones, it was time to reward himself.
As a Beast Master, Lin Chuan declared that he was the greatest contributor!
Without his cheat, there would be no victory today.
Well, speaking of rewards, Lin Chuan didn't intend to do anything special or strange; those with twisted thoughts should reflect on themselves.
Lin Chuan just used the money in his pocket to order a fried chicken and cola family bucket for delivery, then changed into his home pajamas, and lay down to enjoy a night of happiness. Yes, the reward was that simple, and lying down was only for tonight; he would have to start working hard again tomorrow.
While eating the fried chicken and cola family bucket, Lin Chuan lay down and read a novel on the virtual screen projected by his Pet Space Device. He said it felt incredibly comfortable and satisfying.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan's eyebrows twitched. As he was scrolling through novels, he found one that caught his eye.
It wasn't because he was attracted by the novel's synopsis; Lin Chuan hadn't even clicked on it yet.
The reason for the attraction was that Lin Chuan saw the words "Spirit Beast" in parentheses next to the author's name!
In other words, this novel was actually written by a Spirit Beast!?
Lin Chuan stated that it was truly his first time seeing such a situation; could Spirit Beasts also be authors?
However, on second thought, Lin Chuan found it normal.
This year, the Xingyan Federation Government promulgated a new Spirit Beast Act, further guaranteeing the rights of Spirit Beasts and allowing highly intelligent Spirit Beasts to hold positions and work in human society.
Even the Beastmaster Association in Tianshang Town had a Golden Sun Furry Dog that became the Deputy Director of the Security Department.
So, isn't it normal for a Spirit Beast to register as an author and write novels online?
By the way, do people actually read novels written by Spirit Beasts?
With doubt and a bit of anticipation, Lin Chuan clicked into the novel and began to read it carefully.
Then, Lin Chuan found that although it used the popular novel templates and tropes currently online, it was actually written quite well, with much better prose than many failed writers, such as the novel by an author with the pen name "Tree Pig" that he had just seen, whose writing was utter garbage.
Regarding this novel's information:
Author: Wan Wan (Spirit Beast)
The novel's name is "book ashen clouds."
The protagonist is a Spirit Beast named book ashen clouds, whose scientific name is Book Spirit.
Book Spirit.
This is a special Spirit Beast that, after a long period of precipitation, at least 30 years, in a book, and under the influence of various conditions such as emotions, spirits, and natural energy, coincidentally conceives and is born from the book.
Unlike the demonic beasts in nature and the Spirit Beasts that have been tamed by humans for thousands of years, Book Spirit is a Spirit Beast born entirely dependent on human civilization.
After all, there are books only because there are humans, while other highly intelligent Spirit Beasts, such as the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan, have their own methods of inheritance, such as Dragon Pearls and Phoenix Immortal Fire Seeds.
Books are the crystallization of human history, the continuation of culture, the accumulation of wisdom, and the inheritance of knowledge.
And Book Spirit is precisely nurtured and born from these aspects of human civilization.
Because they are Spirit Beasts born alongside human civilization, Book Spirit possesses an appearance almost identical to humans, and are almost always very delicate, beautiful, and cute girl figures, deeply loved by Beast Masters, especially certain Beast Masters with strange hobbies.
Unfortunately, they are just too small, otherwise they would be even more liked.
Here, "small" refers to size; Book Spirit usually only appears as large as a figurine, manifesting on the physical book from which it was born.
Hmm, the general image is like the fairy sprites sitting on magic books in some fantasy animations from his previous life.
Because they are Spirit Beasts nurtured by books, Book Spirit are born with intelligence no weaker than humans, and their acquired learning ability is also not weaker than humans, especially in terms of rote memorization. In terms of simply accumulating knowledge, Book Spirit completely outmatches human academic elites; perhaps only those existence known as genius academic gods among humans can defeat them.
Unfortunately, Book Spirit do not have human creative thinking; their thinking is basically limited within the framework of known knowledge, and they will not have any wild or imaginative ideas or inspirations.
However, even just like this, it is quite sufficient.
So, going back to the topic, since Book Spirit are so excellent and intelligent, are they very powerful?
The fact is, quite the opposite!
The biggest flaw of Book Spirit lies in their abilities as Spirit Beasts. The Spirit Beast bloodline rank of Book Spirit is often very low, basically only Soldier-Rank.
Moreover, unlike ordinary Spirit Beasts, such as Flower Leaf Leaf, who can evolve and break through their bloodline limit, Book Spirit are born as they are and remain that way, with no possibility of breakthrough or evolution.
Regarding this, countless scientific research magnates have painstakingly studied it for hundreds of years, but still haven't found any possibility of Book Spirit evolution.
Ultimately, Book Spirit could only be identified as one of the rare non-evolving Spirit Beasts.
The specific Spirit Beast bloodline rank of Book Spirit is jointly determined by the material of the book that nurtured and gave birth to them, the content recorded within, the passage of time, and many other factors.
For example, a Book Spirit born from a book made of legendary Spirit Beast leather will have a higher bloodline rank than a Book Spirit born from ordinary paper books.
And a Book Spirit born from a book containing precious knowledge will be more excellent than a Book Spirit born from ordinary novels or diaries.
A book treasured for a thousand years by a certain family and well-preserved will yield a Book Spirit with higher potential than a Book Spirit born from a dilapidated book dug out of some ruins.
However, a treasure book made of high-grade materials, recording precious secret realm knowledge, and treasured for a thousand years, does not necessarily give birth to a Book Spirit.
The birth of a Book Spirit, even when satisfying the conditions of time precipitation and other spiritual, emotional, and natural abilities, still cannot be predicted and is entirely up to fate.
Basically, 99.999% of Book Spirit are born from various strange books such as miscellaneous books, novels, and diaries.
Therefore, the bloodline rank and aptitude of Book Spirit are generally very poor, often being Soldier-Rank Low-Grade.
Well, it should be said this way.
Soldier-Rank Low-Grade is the lower limit of Spirit Beast bloodline ranks classified by humans, but it is not the lower limit of Book Spirit!
If there were lower bloodline ranks, Book Spirit would definitely, with all their might, rush downwards!
In general, the battle power growth of Book Spirit can at most reach First-Rank; even with more training and resources invested, they cannot break through to Second-Rank.
Comparing them horizontally with other common Spirit Beasts, like Flower Leaf Leaf, for example.
Lin Chuan, in just two weeks, has already brought Guoguo and Sakura to levels 16 and 15 respectively, and they will definitely break through to Second-Rank before the entrance examination. The disparity is self-evident.
Getting back to the main topic, let's talk about this novel.
The novel's female lead is book ashen clouds, and the male lead is Ji Bochang.
The story says that this Book Spirit named book ashen clouds was born from a strange book of dark culinary knowledge, and thus was naturally skilled in strange cooking. With this strange cooking, book ashen clouds coincidentally met and won over a new Beast Master, Ji Bochang, whose taste buds were unusual, making Ji Bochang contract it as his initial Spirit Beast.
The key is!
This Beast Master, Ji Bochang, was born with the potential of a Great Emperor, possessing terrifying Beast Master talent of 8th Rank, and his family also inherited a legendary secret treasure of the Phoenix Clan, a Nirvana Flame, which could allow a Spirit Beast to be reborn in fire and reshape its foundation.
And then, well, the rest of the plot can be guessed without reading it, as it's a template novel.
Ji Bochang used the Phoenix Clan's secret treasure to allow book ashen clouds to be reborn in fire, reshaping its bloodline foundation and instantly becoming an Emperor-Rank High-Grade bloodline. book ashen clouds then accompanied Ji Bochang step by step to the pinnacle.
At the end of the story, book ashen clouds broke through to Eighth-Rank, able to transform into human form at will, and lived happily ever after with Ji Bochang.

Compared to the novel's content, the comments section was genuinely much more interesting.
Lin Chuan laughed as he read, eating fried chicken and fries, and drinking cola.
At the same time, an idea couldn't help but emerge in Lin Chuan's mind, an idea influenced by this novel.
The bloodline rank of Book Spirit is generally inferior, and they have no evolutionary form. If not for legendary items like the Nirvana Flame in the novel, they are basically useless, unable to break through to Second-Rank their entire lives, unlike ordinary Spirit Beasts, which can easily break through to Second-Rank with a little careful cultivation, and then further evolve and become stronger. And such items like the Nirvana Flame would basically not be used for Book Spirit, as there are other Spirit Beasts with higher talent and potential.
So, what about his cheat, Reincarnation of Rebirth?
Could it, like in this novel, help Book Spirit break through their bloodline rank?
If it could, a Book Spirit born with human intelligence, explosive learning ability, and a bloodline rank reaching Wang (King)-Rank or even further to Emperor-Rank, would probably truly be no worse than those Spirit Beasts of the Dragon, Phoenix, or Qilin Clan, and might even glimpse the backs of those legendary mythical Spirit Beasts.
One must know, Book Spirit possesses both Immortal and Illusion attributes!
Immortal and Illusion, these two attributes are already rare and powerful among the superior special attributes, and combined, they are even more extraordinary.
For a moment, Lin Chuan couldn't help but be tempted, and the idea of contracting a Book Spirit arose.
However, after a while, Lin Chuan silently shook his head, negating the idea in his mind.
Well, he would temporarily keep the idea and see if there was an opportunity in the future.
Although Book Spirit generally have useless bloodline ranks, due to the rarity and special nature of their birth, they are not Spirit Beasts that can be easily found and contracted, unlike ordinary Spirit Beasts.
For ordinary Spirit Beasts, as long as you find a relevant breeding base, and have a Beast Master identification certificate issued by the Beastmaster Association, proving legality and no criminal record, then, by paying a sum of money to the breeding base, you can apply for a contract.
However, contracting a Book Spirit is much more troublesome; it requires sufficient luck, strength, and financial resources.
Excluding the protagonist's situation where a book in their own home suddenly gives birth to a Book Spirit by chance, basically, there are no wild Book Spirit.
After all, Book Spirit are born with intelligence no less than humans. If they don't have a particularly close human, specifically the author of the book they were born from and their direct first-generation blood relatives, they will immediately find the Beastmaster Association to register after birth, thereby securing a stable job, enjoying federal benefits, and receiving multiple protections from the Federal Government and the Beastmaster Association.
Then, Book Spirit will be assigned to important document locations such as libraries, archives, and skill secret manual storage rooms to perform maintenance and management work!
Almost all Book Spirit are like this, having registered their information with the Beastmaster Association.
So, to contract them.
First, one must pass the hurdles of the Xingyan Federation Government and the Beastmaster Association, like dealing with parents-in-law.
On the Federal Government side, one must have enough federal contribution points. This requires responding to the Xingyan Federation Government's conscription missions, such as guarding a city or repelling powerful demonic beasts, which are highly dangerous missions, or passing the entrance exams for the Eight Great Academies, which can also earn a substantial amount of federal contribution points.
On the Beastmaster Association side, one must pay a certain amount of points. Points are obtained by completing Beastmaster Association missions, with no restrictions on the type of mission; even tasks like finding cats or catching dogs are acceptable, as long as the total points are sufficient.
Once these first two hurdles from the 'parents-in-law' are passed, then only the final hurdle remains, which is the Book Spirit itself.
Book Spirit are born with intelligence no less than humans. Although their own strength is very poor and they have almost no growth potential as battle pets, their standards for choosing Beast Masters are extraordinarily high.
After being contracted, what Book Spirit can do for a Beast Master is basically handle daily chores, help the Beast Master record various messy information, and other logistical work.
In simple terms, they are full-time secretaries.
The key is!
This secretary, once contracted, is a secretary that the Beast Master can trust unconditionally, unless the Beast Master actively abuses the Book Spirit or violates the contract.
Otherwise, adhering to the contract laws, Book Spirit will absolutely not do anything to betray their Beast Master.
Beast Masters can entrust any personal private matters to Book Spirit to handle, and any words that are inconvenient to speak can also be told to Book Spirit. Book Spirit are absolutely the best listeners and secret keepers, and can relieve much mental pressure for Beast Masters.
However, Book Spirit will not serve as secretaries for ordinary Beast Masters; at the very least, a Beast Master with the potential of a Heavenly King is needed to catch their eye.
Or, they might be attracted by other qualities, such as extremely high Appearance !
To this day, there has not been a single exception among Book Spirit; they are all ultimate appearance fanatics!
