Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

The following day, Zhu Ran received a bunch of packages.

I disassembled everything, sorted and stacked it. A 28-inch suitcase definitely wouldn't fit, and a 30-inch one would barely be enough.

If it really comes down to manual transport, forget about training; just carrying luggage will exhaust you.

"I wish I had a spatial ring."

"At the very least, a spatial backpack would be nice."

Zhu Ran couldn't help but sigh.

The spatial storage items commonly seen in novels and comics actually exist in this world.

But the cheapest, least expensive, and most unstable model costs over 800 million!

Even among Shang Yunying, Yu Manrong, and Qin Yin, it is considered an ultra-luxury item, currently out of reach.

"We must continue to strive."

"Let's set a small goal for this year: to own a spatial artifact!"

Zhu Ran secretly cheered herself up.

……

The sealed card arrived in the evening.

Zhu Ran infused his spiritual power, releasing the contracted pet beast within him.

Swish!

The upright frogman leaped out.

The frog's belly is wide and swollen, with stacked muscles and not an ounce of fat, giving it a visually imposing and powerful appearance.

The biceps are well-developed, and the muscles bulge out when the arms are crossed over the chest.

But the most exaggerated feature was the leg muscles, which were bulging and taut with prominent red veins, as if they were about to burst at any moment.

[Race]: Hercules Frog

【Attributes】: None

[Life Level]: Mature

[Bloodline Strength]: C

[Core Talents]: Brute Force/Super Endurance/Super Jumping/Anti-Slip Slime

[Racial Skills]: Mighty Slam, Savage Throw, Stomp, Tongue Leap

Status: Alert

"Croak!"

Hercules Frog lunges and pushes off sideways, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his arms raised high above his head, showing off the muscles in his waist and abdomen.

On its flat frog face, bulging round frog eyes scanned the surroundings with an arrogant expression, exuding absolute confidence in its own strength, as if it could block any impact with its physical body.

"Xiao Ji, nice to meet you. This is your sister Xuexi, this is your sister Jingxiang... this is your brother Haha, this is your brother Tuntun."

Hercules Frog has its own name – Xiao Ji.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ji stopped flexing his muscles and scanned the pets present with his bright eyes, focusing on the electric turtle and then the broken-winged frost butterfly.

"babble!"

Little Butterfly sternly warned that it was not allowed to eat it!

Otherwise, if they get angry, they'll freeze you into an ice sculpture and let you show off your muscles for the rest of your life, leaving you no chance to regret it!

"Quack! Quack quack!"

The Hercules Frog held its head high and nodded vigorously.

Xuexi looked at Zhuran with a puzzled expression.

Why is it different from what I imagined?

Isn't this Hercules Frog supposed to be easy to get along with? It's not as dangerous as you described yesterday.

"cough."

Zhu Ran, feeling guilty, looked away.

Hercules Frog's diet is mostly Bug-type.

But this species is just a bit straightforward; it's not stupid, otherwise it wouldn't have become the deliveryman's favorite work partner.

(งᵒ̌ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃

Little Butterfly, realizing she had been tricked, was indignant.

"Here's a plate of chilled peaches..."

Zhu Ran offered a gift, and Little Butterfly blinked, and in an instant, the storm passed and the sun shone through. She hugged the big peach and happily sucked on it.

……

The day for gathering in the secret realm is getting closer.

The third batch of adorable tiger cubs sold out just as successfully.

Zhu Ran bred a pair of adorable tiger cubs for Zhang Fei, one named Peppa and the other George.

During the month that he and Liang Baizhou were away from the company, Zhang Fei took over the management of the Little Tiger Breeding Base.

Next month, the development of Superburn Life is destined to slow down.

However, with the accelerated evolution over the past few days, Zhu Ran and Liang Baizhou still managed to gather twenty adorable little tigers, which they will sell next month.

When they return, the company should have close to ten million in working capital.

"...That's all for today's live stream. See you the month after next."

Finish work.

Zhu Ran lay limp on the bed, a broken-winged frost butterfly gently landing on his pillow, and the two fell silent.

Three more days.

Rare materials such as Ice Silkworm Silk and Ice Bear Blood have arrived.

However, there is still no news whatsoever about the most crucial ingredient, "Ice Ridge Mirror Flower".

Zhu Ran did try other channels as well.

For example, black market dealers.

For example, purchasing online.

If even Zhongdu University can't get it immediately, how can other channels have such good luck?

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

In the darkness, the phone vibrated slightly.

Zhu Ran, not fully awake, groped around on the edge of the bed with her eyes still sleepy.

After several bumps and knocks, he grabbed the phone and turned on the projection screen.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu? There is an express package for you that needs your signature in person."

"Express delivery?" Zhu Ran asked blankly.

The supplies for the secret realm have long been prepared.

If it's company-related consumables, the department that handles them is the warehouse department, so he doesn't need to do it himself.

"Could it be an illusion of ice and light?"

As the thought entered his mind, Zhu Ran jumped up and became completely awake.

"Coming right away, please wait a moment."

moment.

Zhu Ran held a metal box in his hands, the cool touch sending a smile up his face.

All materials are ready!

We can finally get started!

"Xuexi, are you ready to be a freshman?"

Zhu Ran asked with a smile.

To this day, he has completely reversed three of his error forms: Little Tiger, Husky Pig, and Leaky Turtle.

On the contrary, the broken-winged frost butterfly, whom they first met and first got to know, was stuck at the last step, with bloodline cracks still remaining on its body.

"Ee! Ee-ee-ee!"

The little butterfly emerged from the refrigerator, its compound eyes shining brightly, its wingtips trembling incessantly.

It both anticipates the arrival of new life and is shrouded in a sense of unease, unable to articulate its true feelings.

"I will witness this with you."

"This is a shared hope that belongs to both of us!"

Suppressing his turbulent emotions, Zhu Ran asked Xiao Die Die to take him to the laboratory building.

The little butterfly spread its colorful, thin wings and rode the wind, moving with lightning speed.

"Dilute the blood of the Snow Bear, fuse it with the Ice Mushroom, and place it inside the empty shell of an Ice Bird egg..."

"Take the stamens of the Ice Ridge Mirror Flower, grind them into powder, take the flower core, simmer it over low heat, mix in the Ice Heavenly Silkworm Silk, and stir until it becomes a paste-like consistency..."

This was Zhu Ran's first time concocting a magic potion related to a mature A-grade body.

He was more careful than ever before, his nerves on edge the entire time, afraid that the slightest carelessness would ruin the precious raw materials.

Halfway through, even though he was still in good condition, he drank a mental supplement in advance to avoid running out of energy and causing an accident later on.

Ten hours later.

The boiler was filled with icy mist, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers filled the nostrils.

"Xuexi," Zhu Ran called softly.

The four adorable tiger cubs sprang to life, stretching their necks and staring intently.

"Whoosh~"

The broken-winged frost butterfly fluttered its wings and gracefully landed in the boiler. As its four wings were immersed in the deep blue icy liquid, its antennae swayed as if waving goodbye to Zhu Ran, and its eyes slowly closed.

Snowflakes were falling heavily in the laboratory.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept up snowflakes, which refracted into a dreamlike white light under the lamplight.

Zhu Ran's blue eyes suddenly became deep and boundless.

He remained silent, simply activating his spirit armor and standing in the wind and snow.

In an instant, his black hair turned to frost, his eyebrows were covered with ice crystals, and even the tip of his nose was covered with a thin layer of snow.

But his eyes were clear, his expression calm, and his gaze remained fixed on the boiler. Even after a long wait, he showed no signs of impatience.

"Little Butterfly, wake up quickly."

"The Frost Butterfly Clan with Broken Wings is destined to shed its flaws and bloom in perfect form."
