My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 2 Is your system even legitimate?

Zhou Lu returned to his room and spent about three minutes learning about the so-called system he had.

He had to admit that the future world-destroying demon king that the system spoke of was very likely him.

The same name, the same background, and the same social circle all made Zhou Lu realize this.

Of course, all of these misdeeds are absolutely slanderous.

Why the hell would I destroy the world? What has this world ever done to me?

After confirming that the system was there to kill him, Zhou Lu's initial joy vanished completely.

Does this mean that I will provoke an extremely powerful enemy in the future, someone who can travel back in time to kill me?

numb.

What did I do to deserve this? How could I possibly have such a formidable enemy in the future?

Zhou Lu instinctively wanted to escape. Since he had no desires or wants, hiding in some remote corner to spend the rest of his life in an ordinary way might not be a bad choice.

However, he was not willing to give up.

Looking at the system interface in front of him, a feeling of unwillingness lingered in Zhou Lu's heart.

No one is born a salted fish; if you can't see opportunities in life, you become a salted fish.

Now, the opportunity is right in front of Zhou Lu, and it would be a shame to continue being a slacker.

The appearance of this future system that wants to kill him indicates that his future self has provoked a powerful enemy capable of traveling through time and space, and that his future self has become so powerful that such an enemy has to choose this method to possibly kill him.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Lu opened the system interface.

His first task is to identify the boundaries of the system tasks.

If the purpose of this system is to kill myself, then if I cause some damage to myself, can I get some mission rewards from the system?

Unfortunately, this system does not offer rewards for these tasks.

This wasn't because the system was worried about the host conspiring with the legendary Demon King to farm rewards, so it cut off the quest chain. Rather, it was because Zhou Lu's fate was blocked by the End Rose, so the system couldn't find Zhou Lu and therefore couldn't determine whether the quest to kill Zhou Lu was complete. The only way it could stop Zhou Lu's growth was to have the host intervene in events related to Zhou Lu and prevent him from having any fortuitous encounters, thus nipping this future Demon King in the bud.

The idea is quite good. As long as I ruin all your adventures, you won't have any chance to grow. As for whether I can kill you in the process, that's irrelevant.

Of course, it doesn't mind if you find and kill Zhou Lu, but there won't be a corresponding reward. Subsequent tasks will still be triggered according to the established program when the host meets the triggering conditions.

but……

The End of the Rose, I think I just saw its name before.

Judging from its name, it should be a plant-based spirit beast. I wonder when I will be able to encounter it.

Snapped!

A voice from the side interrupted Zhou Lu's train of thought.

Fireworks happily patted the leaves, mingling with a few bees by the window.

Although Xin'an Beast Taming Academy also has a combat department, its most famous department is probably the breeding department. These bees are likely the graduation project of a senior student who is about to graduate.

Although Fireworks had already entered its transformation period and become a true spirit beast when its father gave it to it, as a plant-type spirit beast, it was still unable to escape the soil and its combat power was limited. It was able to fight back and forth with a few bees.

Come to think of it, this guy actually eats meat.

Zhou Lu suddenly remembered that since he made a contract with Hua Huo, there were far fewer insects in his house.

Hanabi's ability to kill the young bees was quite formidable; in no time at all, she had annihilated them all.

It carefully collected the bee's corpse and placed it on a leaf.

This little guy is pretty smart; he can even compost himself.

Zhou Lu thought to himself.

Then he saw Hanabi dump all the insects into an open glass of water.

That's Zhou Lu's cup.

"..." Zhou Lu watched this scene in silence.

Fireworks was unaware that its owner's gaze behind it was gradually turning hostile. It leaned closer and, mimicking its owner's actions, used non-existent eyes to observe the situation inside the cup.

Seemingly dissatisfied with the sight of the bee corpses floating on the water, Hanabi stretched out her twig and stirred the contents of the cup.

"Fireworks!!!!" Zhou Lu shouted angrily.

Fireworks was clearly startled by Zhou Lu's angry rebuke. Her whole body trembled, and she almost shook off the leaves on her body.

It turned its head and realized that it was its owner calling its name.

Fireworks patted their leaves merrily: Hello, Master!

Zhou Lu's expression darkened: "What are you doing?"

The remaining branches, still attached to the cup, were stirred a few times, and the firework proudly raised its head: to nourish its master!

Zhou Lu couldn't understand what the fireworks were trying to express, but they seemed quite proud of themselves.

He was on the verge of a breakdown.

The main problem is that he doesn't know how many times Hanabi has done this before.

Thinking back to when I used this cup to drink water, and then remembering that there have been fewer and fewer bugs in the house lately...

Water seeped down the soil, and the bee corpses lay scattered on the soil in the flowerpot. Hua Huo looked somewhat disappointed as she fiddled with the insects using the leaves.

It seems the owner doesn't like eating these anymore.

It seems like he meant for me to eat it...

Hanabi was a little confused; how was she supposed to eat these insects...?

It looked down at its white, jade-like roots that stretched out of the soil.

No, that's not elegant to eat like that!

Evolution! We must evolve! At the very least, we need to grow a mouth.

Hanabi silently made up her mind.

Meanwhile, Zhou Lu finally remembered where he had seen the name "Endless Rose" before; it was in the introduction of the currently available tasks given by the system.

[Current Optional Task Two: Obtain Information on the Unique Evolution of the Rose of the End]

[Mission Introduction: In the year 996 of the Gregorian calendar, Zhou Lu obtained a fragmented ancient book through a trade on the Xin'an Beast Taming Academy's internal forum. From this book, he discovered the special evolution route for the Dream Rain Flower, causing his initial spirit beast, the Dream Rain Flower, to evolve into the Fate-Fooling Rose of the End, which in turn became a demon god capable of destroying the world. Please obtain this information first and prevent the birth of the Rose of the End.]

[Quest Reward: 5 materials for evolving any spirit beast]

Dream Rain Flower... has undergone a special evolution into the End Rose...

Zhou Lu snapped his fingers, and a card appeared in his hand. This was his Beast Taming Card, and as a beginner Beast Tamer, he only had one Beast Taming Card slot.

And this card is undoubtedly Hanabi's Beast Taming Card.

[Repost]? When did you learn this?

Even with two skills, the Plant Beast Taming Card is simple and weak, and it might not even sell for a dollar in a shop.

Watching the firework fiddling with the bee corpses, it, which had not yet blossomed, was searching for parts of the plant besides its roots to absorb nutrients from the insects.

For the first time, Zhou Lu began to doubt the authenticity of the system:

You're telling me it will evolve into the final rose that fools fate?

New author, new book, please read it! This is really important!
