"Then could you please register me?"
Ye Hanjun feigned helplessness with an unsurprised expression, saying:
"As for the origin of this badge... it's a long story."
"Oh, got it."
The attendant took out his own badge, collided the two badges together, and the so-called registration was completed.
Then, Ye Hanjun, pretending not to understand the subtext on his face—"No worries, I have ample time to listen to your gossip"—pulled a small cart filled with big plastic bottles and the Shield Armor Turtle and left the Chick House from the nearest exit.
"A mysterious young man..."
The attendant watched him go until he couldn't see Ye Hanjun's figure anymore, then returned to the feeding room to prepare today's nutrient solution for Chain Vine.
"Sssshhh—sssshhh—"
With the absence of the Little Tyrant Shield Armor Turtle, the Stinky Turtle and the Illusion Poison Turtle crawled over and occupied the huge reef.
As for violent territorial disputes, the residents here are all easygoing turtles. They are synonymous with politeness and modesty, and similar situations did not happen again.
...
Ye Hanjun looked up at the sky. By this time, it was deep night, and the stars were scattered like pearls.
Occasionally, a few clouds would drift past, and the stars would stop blinking, the moonlight would cease to pour down, and in the darkness where he could not see his hand in front of him, he found some enjoyment.
"Not having a riding pet, it's really inconvenient to go anywhere."
"Fortunately, Master Jia said that the academy has more than a dozen stations, offering free carriage services..."
"Roar! Roar!"
(╬◣д◢)
On the cart, the Shield Armor Turtle (overturned with its feet facing the sky) was still struggling fiercely.
Every movement spoke: "Damn human, let this turtle go if you know what's good, or I'll make sure you can't take care of yourself for the rest of your life!"...
Of course, it was all in vain.
The Iron Lock Body Wrap of Chain Vine was too overpowering, even though it had been severed from the main body and was no longer supplied with energy.
Given the Shield Armor Turtle's current rank, there was no way it could break free no matter what.
"Keep shouting, let's see if anyone cares if you lose your voice," said Ye Hanjun, patting the turtle's metallic shell and revealing a devilish smile at an empty street corner.
"Roar..."
The usually domineering Shield Armor Turtle, for some reason, suddenly gave in.
After realizing this, it was as if embarrassed by its change of attitude and began to bite the vine lock with even more ferocity, like a madman.
Ye Hanjun ignored it.
Forty minutes later, he finally found a station.
The so-called station was filled with various types of Fond Spirit-drawn carriages, each one accommodating thirty to forty people.
They were essentially like the buses of his previous life, helping Patrons without riding pets to save travel time to various places.
Ye Hanjun swiped his badge and boarded a wooden cart operated by a 'Coachman' and a 'Big Foot Horse'.
The rank of the Big Foot Horse was Rainbow Light Fetus_Small Achievement.
If riding directly, its speed was at least twice that of the Giant Sparrow and it could last longer, not getting tired even after two or three hours.
However, when it pulled the huge carriage and carried over twenty passengers, its actual speed wasn't much faster.
As a result, when Ye Hanjun arrived at his destination and got out of the carriage, it was already 11 o'clock at night.
"Ding——"
He swiped his badge to enter the door more proficiently, and the continuous buildings were reflected in his eyes.
The architectures were all independent villas, spaced far apart from each other with colors either white or black in a simple style.
Ye Hanjun listened carefully, hearing the faint sounds of lions and tigers roaring, birds screaming, but overall it was still quiet and peaceful, meeting his minimum living environment standards.
"Black means they have already been bound by someone. Whether they are occupied or not, outsiders cannot enter."
An hour later, Ye Hanjun, still as pale as snow and steaming from the top of his head, finally climbed out of the bathtub.
The first thing he did was to throw away the black cloak he had worn during the day into the trash can. Then, he washed his hands three times, picked a set of fitting clothes from the closet to wear.
Only then did Ye Hanjun felt fully revived. The renewed freshness he felt was overwhelming, so pleasing that it made him feel perfectly content.
"This must be the feeling of washing away all the earthly dust."
Stretching indolently, Ye Hanjun revealed a teeth-wide smile.
Remembering what he had to do next prompted him to give his body a thorough check again, just to be careful.
He was especially careful about noting places like fingernail edges to ensure there were no obvious residues of dirt. This was an incredibly important detail!
Once he was prepared, Ye Hanjun carried the large plastic bottle next to his car ignoring the glare from the Shield Armor Turtle who looked like it wanted to devour him, and began moving towards the washroom.
"Splashing sounds~~~"
The washroom had two baths in total. One of a moderate size was reserved for him, while the bigger size was used to contain the hodgepodge of things in the plastic bottle.
The Cyclops Goldfish, Bubble Fish, Jumping Shrimp, Mini Crab, Blue Waterweed, Green Water Grass...
These were the lowest level living creatures in the natural ecology. Although most of them could be defined as Fond Spirits, they were too weak and common.
Even Fond Spirits with a G-level authority would only consider making a contractual relationship with them in the direst of circumstances.
"Go away, go play over there."
Digging in the large bathtub, Ye Hanjun managed to get rid of the fearless mini crab and with an incredible amount of effort, finally caught the thing he wanted.
It was a "Stone", feeling cold to the touch.
There were patches of gray patterns on it, which made it look dirty and unsightly with little aesthetic appeal.
Applying some pressure on it with his fingers, it felt just as hard as a rock.
When he knocked it against the tub, it gave off a crisp, metallic sound.
——From any point of view, it was not different from any ordinary pebble.
"Little guy, aren't you being too brave? You're right in my hand, with your life hanging by a thread. Don't you have a sense of danger at all?"
Ye Hanjun, treating it like a precious toy, played with it thoroughly. However, his mouth didn't stop producing ridiculing remarks.
"Hiss~~~"
As if the stone was reacting to his words.
The warning he gave seemed to have an effect, and the stone in his hand suddenly flipped over.
Like a piece of frozen jelly melting slowly, the "stone" elongated and thinned down. The tarnished color of its surface brightened up like clean jewelry in an instant.
"Yiye?"(?????)
The small creature, no bigger than the size of a baby's palm, gently wiggled its tail.
The elongated tail trailed behind it, looking like a little girl's ponytail.
When it raised its upper body and revealed two tiny eyes on its big head which then developed a look of curiosity towards Ye Hanjun, filled with spirit.
Ye Hanjun was captivated by such pure creatures, inwardly marvelling at the soul-storm that this creature represented.
"Aptitude... Identify!"
