Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 518 New Year’s Eve
2120 2 Month 12 Day.

This day is a very special day for the entire Yanhuang, because it is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year.

However, perhaps because Beihan City is located on the northeastern border, its luck seemed to be not so good today. Snow started falling here in the morning, covering the brightly decorated Beihan City in a white blanket.

Giant bear breeding base.

Because of the Chinese New Year, most of the staff at the base have gone home, and only a very few people living in the staff dormitory have chosen to stay at the base for the holiday, making the breeding base seem rather deserted.

Within the core area of ​​the breeding base, a large, invisible array was activated, completely concealing a large area within the array.

In addition to the invisible formation, a protective shield also formed inside, while outside the formation and the protective shield, a fierce blizzard was raging.

Snowflakes, as fine as goose feathers, crashed against the pale blue energy barrier, shattering into shimmering ice powder that cascaded down. Inside the protective shield, however, it was warm as spring. The Blood Moon Willow Demon Tree, hundreds of meters tall, at the center of the base stretched its branches, and lanterns hanging from its leaves illuminated the entire courtyard in a crimson glow.

Ye Ruitang squatted in front of the barbecue grill in the courtyard, the charcoal fire reflecting red onto his wrinkled face. A three-meter-long Thunderhorn Demon Bull rib sizzled on the iron rack, and the sparks from the dripping fat were precisely caught and extinguished by Hanhan, who was sitting on the ground nearby, with his bear paw.

Sitting around the grill with Hanhan were Ye Ruitang's spirit pets, the Radiant Flame Bear, the Blood Fiend Bear, and the Mountain Bear. However, unlike a few days ago, the Radiant Flame Bear and the others had now condensed complete souls, and their auras were stable and resolute.

In the kitchen, Ye Mo picked up the utensils and, relying on the ample resources, began preparing dinner.

Beside her, Bai Ling flapped her small wings, using her shrunken flying sword to hold up a bowl of freshly made dumpling filling, which floated in mid-air. She glanced at Ye Mo, who was still seriously preparing the food, and quickly snatched a piece of ice crystal steak from the plate. However, she was suddenly slapped on the forehead by Bai You's claw.

"The fifth time." Bai You's black cat tail hooked the rolling pin, drawing tally marks in the pile of flour. Bai Ling sheepishly withdrew her paws, and the flying sword carrying the bowl of dumpling filling landed steadily on the table.

"Since you're so free, why don't you come and help me make dumplings?" Bai You narrowed her eyes and said with a cold smile after seeing Bai Ling's actions.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's pupils contracted. With a steak in her mouth, she suddenly flapped her wings, and her petite body quickly transformed into a white streak of light, rushing out of the kitchen.

Seeing this, Bai You shook his head.

Ye Mo, who had just finished cooking a dish, picked up a plate, put the food in it, and looked at Bai You with a smile, saying, "Youyou, let Xiaobai eat if she wants to. Anyway, I have plenty of ingredients."

"Ye Mo, she doesn't like eating dumpling filling; she just likes eating filling that she steals herself," Bai You said with a shake of her head and a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo thought about it and realized it seemed to be true. He immediately smiled and said, "Alright, let's leave her be and get back to work."

"Mmm." Bai You replied softly, and under the control of her mental power, the rolling pin hooked on her tail immediately began to roll out the dough and wrap dumplings.

Inside the lobby of the house.

In the spacious room, on a coffee table laden with snacks and fruit, Xingli coiled around, her tail occasionally hooking up a candy and putting it into her mouth.

Just then, Bai Ling, returning from the kitchen, flew over somewhat disheveled. Xing Li, seeing this scene, was filled with curiosity.

A moment later, Bai Ling, with the meat chop in her mouth, chewed and swallowed it in a few bites, then landed on the coffee table. She came to Xing Li's side and talked to her about what had just happened. As she spoke, her expression showed obvious relief.

She just wanted to eat, not stay in the kitchen to do anything.

Xingli's eyes sparkled. As an excellent listener, she nodded in agreement from time to time and responded occasionally. During the conversation, she even shared the snacks and fruits on the coffee table with Bailing.

In a corner of the courtyard, the Crimson Crystal Dragon Isaac was using his Crystal Flame to dry Little Willow's new clothes. He carefully controlled the heat, afraid of burning the little red cotton-padded jacket embroidered with a whale pattern.

"My left sleeve is still a little wet." Little Willow twirled on tiptoe, her willow-like hair dancing with it, carrying a touch of playfulness. "Brother Isaac, please breathe fire gently."

Isaac nodded slightly, further strengthening his control over the Crystal Flame. The clothes Little Willow was wearing were a gift from his Master, Ye Mo; if he accidentally damaged them, the consequences would be dire…

With this in mind, Isaac's expression became even more serious.

…………

As night fell and the New Year's Eve dinner was finished, Ye Mo went to the courtyard and lay down on a recliner with his grandfather, gazing at the night sky.

Hanhan and his group of spirit pets were in various states: some were eating, some were playing, some were sitting nearby like bodyguards, and others had begun cultivating.

"Xiao Mo, are you really going to that interdimensional war next month?" the old man suddenly asked, putting down the teacup he was holding.

Ye Mo looked at the moon, which was blurred by the wind and snow outside the protective shield, and nodded: "Yes, if Hanhan and the others want to evolve, they will need legendary-level resources."

"With my strength, it would be extremely difficult to obtain legendary resources under normal circumstances, even with you and the Otherworld Exploration Merchant Guild, it would still be the same."

“Although interdimensional wars are dangerous, they are indeed an opportunity, a very rare opportunity. So Grandpa, I will definitely go.”

After hearing Ye Mo's words, Ye Ruitang stared at the dark sky with his deep eyes and remained silent for a long time until Bai Ling and the others' laughter rang out in the distance. Only then did he slowly say a word.

"I don't know much about interdimensional wars, and I can't help you much, but as your grandfather, I still want to remind you to be careful in everything you do. Life is the most important thing."

Ye Mo nodded and said seriously, "I know, Grandpa. Don't worry. My current combat strength is no weaker than that of a fifth-tier cultivator, and my survival methods are all incredibly powerful. Even if I'm unlucky enough to encounter a legendary transcendent in a plane war, I'll still be able to come back alive."

"It's good that you understand. My strength is no match for yours now, so I can't offer any advice." Ye Ruitang picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said, "By the way, I'm planning to have Tyrant try to break through in a couple of days."

"So fast? The Tyrant has only recently condensed his complete soul. Shouldn't he allow it to settle down a bit more?"

"No need. The Tyrant has already accumulated enough power. Further accumulation will not increase the success rate of the breakthrough. It is better to take advantage of the impact of condensing a complete soul and start the breakthrough directly."

"Alright then, Grandpa, remember to call me then." Ye Mo nodded after a moment of thought. "Hahaha, don't worry, I'll definitely call you. If Tyrant succeeds in breaking through this time, at least half the credit will be yours." Ye Ruitang laughed heartily, then continued, "But there's nothing to see about Tyrant's breakthrough. Even if Tyrant fails, there are still those Origin Repair Potions you gave me."

The biggest difficulty in breaking through from the fourth rank to the fifth rank is naturally the extremely low success rate. Most fourth-rank individuals attempting to break through to the fifth rank often have less than a one in a thousand chance.

Only those outstanding individuals among the fourth-tier transcendents who have awakened a domain or condensed a complete soul, or those who possess both, can increase their success rate to 10%, 30%, 40%, or even more when they break through.

Even so, for the vast majority of fourth-tier extraordinary individuals, the chance of failing to break through is still the highest.

The primal trauma resulting from a failed breakthrough is also a major challenge for those extraordinary individuals who aspire to break through to the fifth rank.

After all, if you want to succeed in breaking through to the best of your ability, you should be in your best condition before the breakthrough. However, the damage to your origin after a failed breakthrough may not have a big impact on your strength, but it will have a significant impact on the breakthrough itself.

Furthermore, healing from the original trauma is extremely difficult; without specialized healing methods and resources, one can only rely on time to slowly heal.

However, not all superhumans have the long lifespan of undead or elemental creatures. Spending several years recovering is unacceptable for most fourth-tier superhumans.

After all, the older one gets, even a superhuman will find it difficult to maintain their condition, so the chances of breaking through will naturally decrease.

That's why Ye Ruitang was so shocked when he learned that Ye Mo could even create a potion to restore one's original injuries.

…………

Lunar New Year's Eve has passed, and the new year has arrived.

Lin Xiyang, who returned home yesterday, went to the giant bear breeding base early in the morning. As the person Ye Mo was keeping a close eye on, Lin Xiyang could only stay here and cultivate obediently until his spirit pet broke through to the fourth level or he started school.

Besides Lin Xiyang, his parents, Uncle Lin Ao and Aunt Shu Wanxian, also came to see his grandfather, which is their family's annual tradition.

As one of the four major breeding bases in Linghu District, neither Lin Xiyang's family nor Ye Mo's family were locals. They moved here together decades ago. Moreover, Ye Ruitang, the grandfather, and Lin Xiyang's grandfather were even good friends. However, Lin Xiyang's grandfather passed away earlier.

Therefore, for Lin Xiyang's family, Ye Mo's grandfather was undoubtedly their only elder, so it was perfectly normal for the whole family to come here for the New Year.

Ye Ruitang was very happy about the arrival of Uncle Lin Ao and his group. However, he also took this opportunity to ask Ye Mo to call Lin Ao over and tell him everything he wanted to say in the core area of ​​the base.

Although Lin Ao had been helping Ye Ruitang with his work, he was still unable to recover from such a big news.

After all, he initially only thought that Elder Ye, as the garrison commander of Beihan City, possessed extraordinary strength, while his grandson Ye Mo was exceptionally talented with limitless potential for future achievements. Also, Elder Ye had been enjoying increasingly smooth sailing in the past year or two, like a soaring dragon, but that was about it.

But now, he was suddenly told that Elder Ye and Ye Mo had actually established a power spanning two planes, with the number of fourth-level extraordinary beings among their subordinates already exceeding one hundred, and even fifth-level big shots.

How could he, an ordinary fourth-tier beast tamer, not be surprised?

Finally, before Ye Ruitang could say anything, Lin Ao impatiently urged Ye Mo to produce the transaction contract and sign it quickly.

Lin Ao felt absolutely no awkwardness about joining Ye Mo and his group; it couldn't be better.

After all, as the owner of the Ice Wolf Breeding Base, he had always followed Elder Ye and moved forward in his footsteps. Now, the so-called formal joining was just an additional contract signing process.

After Lin Ao signed the transaction agreement, Ye Mo and his grandfather Ye Ruitang also talked about the benefits and assistance that would be given to him after joining.

Among them is the fifth-tier breakthrough package, which is a complete set of items including potions and soul beads to condense a complete soul. However, this will be given later, since Lin Ao is still quite far from the peak of the fourth tier.

Therefore, most of what was actually given were various resources for cultivation. Compared to the help from Lin Xiyang, the resources here were no worse and even more valuable, since they were for fourth-order transcendent cultivation.

However, the cultivation resources were all fine. For Lin Ao, the most precious thing this time was actually the evolution path given to him by Ye Mo.

That's right. Relying on the powerful detection function, Ye Mo directly wrote out evolution paths for Lin Ao's spirit pets. These were the most suitable special evolution paths that he had specially selected. As long as the requirements of the evolution path were met, there was an 80% or 90% chance of successful evolution.

This was of great significance to Lin Ao.

As the owner of the Ice Wolf Breeding Base, he has been studying the evolutionary path of the Ice Wolves since he took over the base from his father.

Unfortunately, until we first arrived here, the evolutionary path of the Ice Wolf Breeding Base was still Ice Wolf – Ice Soul Wolf – Ice Moon White Wolf.

Even in its final form, the Ice Moon White Wolf is merely a spirit pet that commands a second-level race.

But things are different now. Although the Ice Moon White Wolf is still the final form of their family's Ice Wolf bloodline potential, it is not the final form of its evolution. After choosing the special evolution path offered by Ye Mo, the Ice Wolves at the Ice Wolf Breeding Base will surely be able to go further.

After Ye Mo finished writing down several special evolution paths for the Ice Moon White Wolf, Lin Ao couldn't wait to let his spirit pet try them out in order to evolve as quickly as possible.

Ye Ruitang did not stop him. After all, the transaction contract had been signed, so Lin Ao could do whatever he wanted afterward.

"Uncle Lin, you were in too much of a hurry," Ye Mo said with a smile as he turned to his grandfather after watching Lin Ao's figure disappear into the woods.

Ye Ruitang shook his head and recalled, "After all, it concerns the future evolution plan of their Ice Wolf, so it's normal for them to be in such a hurry. Just like when I got the evolution route of the Violent Bear from you, I was just as excited as he was."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Ye Mo thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's true. But it's a pity that Uncle Lin's Ice Wolf's ultimate potential form is the Ice Moon White Wolf, unlike our Violent Bear which can evolve into the Purple Emperor Giant Bear based on its potential."

"In this way, although the Ice Moon White Wolf can still undergo special evolution, it won't be as simple as potential evolution. At least in terms of money, Uncle Lin Ao will probably have to spend a lot of money next."
