Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 8 Breeding Base
"Ouch!!!"

"Ouch!!!"

At this moment, the five giant wolves stared at Fang Yu with drooling eyes and their pupils gleaming.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Yu, who was being watched by a pack of snow wolves, felt extremely panicked.

It's obvious that the wolves are just hungry and want to eat right now, and they're not targeting him.

But this situation... both reassured and unsettled him.

He felt relieved because the other party's goal was to eat meat, but panicked because he felt that the snow wolf might also want to taste him.

really……

Applying for this job now would be too hasty.

Where is the wolf king?

Fang Yu tried his best to appear indifferent, looking further into the distance to find his own thigh.

"Hooooo!!!"

After the five snow wolves arrived, they stood obediently in a row, not daring to make any rash moves. It wasn't because they were afraid of scaring Fang Yu, nor was it out of politeness, but because their leader hadn't arrived yet.

With an even more intimidating roar, the wolf pack parted to make way for a snow wolf that was much larger, measuring over two meters long and at least 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall.

"Hooooo!!!"

The wolf king of the snow wolf pack slowly stepped out, his gaze fixed on Fang Yu.

The other snow wolves looked at the wolf king with fear and respect.

Snow wolves are social creatures, and the wolf king possesses supreme power.

Some wolf kings can even develop a kind of intimidating demonic technique that can create a sense of oppression, used to lead their wolf pack.

Under this intimidating presence, the snow wolves were all incredibly obedient, daring not to make any rash moves, and behaved in a very orderly manner.

Clearly, the reason why trainee zookeepers like Fang Yu could safely feed the snow wolves was because of the presence of the wolf king.

This snow wolf king is a top-tier servant, a tamed beast of a magician in the breeding base, responsible for assisting in the management of the wolf pack.

Next, the Snow Wolf King approached indifferently, step by step, until he came to Fang Yu's side.

Fang Yu felt a surge of tension, his gaze fixed strangely on the magnificent giant wolf. The oppressive aura emanating from this wolf king was far greater than that of the five ordinary snow wolves.

A single glance from the other party, conveying a sense of intimidation, was enough to make Fang Yu's heart pound.

At this moment, the wolf king was also looking at Fang Yu. Instead of eating immediately, it surrounded itself with cold air and continued to approach Fang Yu.

Then, his body brushed past Fang Yu, and his head touched Fang Yu's.

As is customary, the wolf king will leave its scent on the trainee keeper, leaving a unique aroma on them. This will make the snow wolves much more docile during feeding.

When Fang Yu felt the coldness around him, he realized he had been marked by the wolf king. Was this how it left its scent?

It's alright, much more civilized than marking with urine.

As Fang Yu was feeling sentimental, suddenly, the ice hockey puck in his mental world trembled.

Because the wolf king had subconsciously released a chilling aura and had come into contact with Fang Yu, the flowing chilling aura decomposed, turning into ice elemental energy that seeped into the ice sphere in the mental world...

"This is?"

Fang Yu was momentarily stunned. He had been thinking that as his cultivation level increased, the ice ball, which was equivalent to the Nebula Magic Tool, would become less and less useful to him. How could he find an opportunity to improve it? It turned out that it was so simple.

Moreover, it was actually the chilling aura emanating from the wolf king.

The ice hockey puck absorbed the cold air, making it even more effective.

Upon noticing the change, Fang Yu was immediately captivated.

"Although the cold air flowing from the Snow Wolf King made the enhancement of the ice ball negligible, he successfully found a way."

"According to the pattern, all we need to do next is absorb the Snow Wolf King's cold energy and transform it into ice elemental energy, and we should be able to improve!"

Of course, while he has the ability, Fang Yu obviously wouldn't use it rashly.

Putting aside the unknown amount of the Snow Wolf King's overflowing cold energy that would be consumed, there would also be serious problems if the Snow Wolf King discovered that he was absorbing it at will... Fang Yu smiled as he came back to his senses to find the Snow Wolf King staring at him with a puzzled look.

“Roar!!”

The wolf king growled and frowned.

Fang Yu understood; the other person saw him grinning foolishly and suspected he was sick...

Let them have their doubts; Fang Yu wasn't angry.

His happiness was something the Snow Wolf King could never understand; the joy of humans and wolves is not the same.

Having just taken advantage of someone else, Fang Yu now finds the Snow Wolf King quite pleasing to the eye.

The Snow Wolf King was unaware that the chilling aura it emitted had been absorbed. After confirming that Fang Yu hadn't been frightened into a state of distress, it turned around and began to devour the meat.

Only after it has eaten and drunk its fill will the ordinary snow wolves in the pack dare to approach.

It must be because the wolf king left its scent. After the wolf king left, the ordinary snow wolves were noticeably less fierce towards Fang Yu.

Just like the other interns said, she was very well-behaved.

This obedience made Fang Yu's subsequent feeding process and his research on the ice hockey in the mental world much smoother.

"It's no use." Fang Yu felt frustrated after distributing food to the snow wolves.

Just now, when the snow wolves around him were radiating cold energy, the ice ball in Fang Yu's mental world did not react.

In other words, he can only use the Snow Wolf King's cold energy to enhance the ice ball!
What's so special about the Snow Wolf King?
Fang Yu was clearly puzzled.

Continue feeding...

Fang Yu devoted himself to the task and soon finished. However, to Fang Yu's regret, he could not absorb the snow wolves' ice element while feeding them.

If it can't be done, then it can't be done. Fang Yu isn't greedy. At least he discovered the value of ice hockey this time, which has already made him a big profit.

The answer will become clear once we investigate what makes the Snow Wolf King so special.

……

After finishing feeding the snow wolf pack, Fang Yu went on to do other tasks.

Inside the breeding base, Fang Yu saw eagles patrolling overhead.

The eagle is majestic, with feathers as white as snow, and the silvery feathers on its crest hang wildly down its back, exuding a perfect sense of streamline.

They flew through the sky in an orderly fashion, until they reached a location near a lake.

Sky Eagle, a six-star tamed beast, I don't know if it can be ridden.

Fang Yu really wanted to give it a try.

However, reason led him to choose to work.

Interns have a really tough time; they get all the hardest and most tiring tasks, and they don't even have much technical content.

There's nothing we can do about it, since they're still in the learning phase.

If you want Fang Yu and his team to do difficult tasks, such as training beasts, they need to have the ability to do so.

A wolf pack like the one we just saw would be very difficult to manage and train without a alpha wolf that has a strong presence.

Training these snow wolves to be suitable for a mage's contract is the job of the other formal trainers.

Interns like Fang Yu could only do relatively basic work.

Of course, in addition to the more basic work, the official zookeepers will also regularly lead interns like Fang Yu to do other work, allowing the interns to see different kinds of animals.

"I still have a month left in my internship, so I should focus on learning first."

The profession of animal tamer was a stepping stone he prepared for himself, a preparation for the early stages of hunting demons.

Although he had gained a cheat ability that could quickly enhance his cultivation, Fang Yu considered that facing demons and monsters, their violent aura could easily affect his will and prevent him from acting recklessly. It was better to play it safe for now.

Next, Fang Yu decided to focus on his job as an animal trainer and take this opportunity to learn more about demons before making any other plans.
