Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

As night falls, the streets are brightly lit and bustling with traffic, presenting a vibrant scene.

The "vehicle" here cannot be a car, motorcycle, or bicycle.

But the "horse" must be a real horse.

Since the early days of the Extraordinary Era, firearms have become a thing of the past, and old-fashioned vehicles have been phased out.

In the era of beast taming, people naturally rode their pet beasts to school and work.

Looking around, Zhu Ran saw that on the fast beast path, all kinds of medium and large-sized pet beasts, such as iron-skinned rhinoceroses, round-nosed elephants, blue antelopes, snow ostriches, swift-clawed tigers, and swift-wind wolves, were charging in an orderly manner and changing lanes cautiously under the command of the beast tamers.

Failure to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks will result in a 3-point deduction and a 100 yuan fine.

Running a red light results in a 6-point deduction and a 300 yuan fine.

Not wearing a helmet or other protective gear will result in a warning for the first offense and a fine of 50 yuan for the second offense.

Dare to try and outsmart me?

Everywhere on the utility poles, there were camera chickens with their eyes glowing red.

Along both sides of the road, slogans such as "Improper riding will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes" can be seen everywhere.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you even know how to tame beasts? Riding that fast, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

"Could you please not block the turning lane? There are so many people waiting to pass!"

"Who would urinate or defecate in the street like that? They have no sense of public decency at all..."

Compared to the orderly path of the fast beasts.

The Slow Beast Path is a mixed bag.

This is unavoidable; the Slow Beast Path generally consists of juveniles, who are small in size, have poor stamina, and are not very intelligent.

Even the most skilled beast tamers cannot make their beasts obey the rules all the time.

Of course, what Zhu Ran envied was still the sky.

Several figures moved swiftly between buildings, soaring through the air, offering a panoramic view of the entire street, displaying their composure and elegance.

Looking back at the broken-winged frost butterfly that could only drag itself five centimeters away...

Zhu Ran could only console himself with the thought that "there is huge room for improvement."

「咿～」ど⚈₃⚈う♡

The broken-winged frost butterfly didn't care about any of that.

It was also the first time it had seen such a novel world. It looked left and right, its little head bobbing around everywhere.

The shops stood side by side, their colorful signs gleaming under the neon lights.

Through the window.

Inside the bar, scantily clad orc girls danced passionately, accompanied by a group of birds and beasts singing in the audience, while humans enjoyed fine wine and food, all in high spirits…

In the gym, after finishing his strength training, the beast tamer was covered in sweat when a light-elemental pet approached and cast a light-elemental spell to relieve the soreness in his muscles…

In bathhouses, the usable area for humans is pitifully small, with the majority of the space dedicated to pets. Those responsible for changing the water and scrubbing the animals are often aquatic or insect-type pets; the latter, with their many legs, can use both hands simultaneously…

"No, I'm too hungry, I need to eat something first!"

My stomach kept rumbling.

Zhu Ran pushed open a "Green Grassland Ramen Restaurant".

At a glance, you can see the kitchen area, where the ramen chef is a monkey with purple fur and four arms.

Because it has two hands, its lower two palms repeatedly knead the dough.

With both hands extended and exerting force, the other piece of coarse dough is quickly stretched into thin strips.

They were divided into pairs, each with their own responsibilities, creating a dazzling and visually appealing scene.

[Race]: Four-armed monkey

【Attributes】: None

[Life Level]: Mature

[Bloodline Strength]: D

[Core Talent]: Four-Point Agility/Continuous Force

[Racial Skills]: Four-stage Collapse, Throat Lock and Throw

[Status]: Busy/Tired

With four hands, you must be able to type on the keyboard incredibly fast, right?

He's unbeatable at cards, grabbing cards with one hand and hiding them with the other, while still having the other two hands to rummage through snacks—a true gambling god in the making.

Zhu Ran's thoughts were filled with inspiration.

However, the thought of the four-armed monkey's precursor form, called the "one-armed monkey," made him reluctantly abandon his daydreaming.

They've also experienced hardship.

But let's get back to the point.

Those noodles look really chewy; as long as the sauce is good, it'll definitely taste delicious...

Zhu Ran suppressed his drool, sat down, and took out his phone.

[Mental Strength Confirmed: Zhu Ran]

[Phone is unlocked]

The silver-white card pulled from the pocket was very light, but as hard as a steamed bun that had been frozen all winter; it was impossible to squeeze it no matter how hard you tried.

A tiny bit of mental energy was drawn from his mind.

A silver-white card flashed with a light pattern, and the next second, a projection slowly unfolded in front of him, eventually condensing into an exquisite floating window.

[Illustrated Guide] [Green Bubble] [Notebook]

[Wallet] [Shopping Mall] [Online]

[Books] [Maps] [Settings]

Zhu Ran lit the green bubble, adjusted the angle of the card, and scanned the QR code on the table.

Then, from the dazzling array of food options, quickly select "Bestseller" → "Meat Sauce Noodles" → "Extra Large Bowl".

[Ding! You have a new bill totaling 25 yuan. Your current balance is 305508.59 yuan.]

I checked the balance three times.

Zhu Ran couldn't help but hum softly.

In my previous life, I came from an ordinary family and never graduated; my personal savings never exceeded four figures.

This life is pretty good. I started with 300,000, and I secretly got a little cocky. I hope no one I know saw me.

"The steaming hot meat sauce noodles are here!"

The owner, wearing an apron, quickly brought over a bowl of noodles that looked and smelled delicious.

He glanced at the broken-winged frost butterfly on Zhu Ran's back, but showed no further interest.

That makes perfect sense!

Zhu Ran smiled.

The world of beast taming is colorful and diverse, with countless extraordinary species. Ordinary people can only distinguish which pets are more common and which are less so.

Judging at a glance whether something is a new species is something for experts; ordinary people don't have the knowledge, time, or energy for that.

"Ee..." ∠(ᐛ") ∠

The broken-winged frost butterfly found the basin-sized bowl of noodles very distasteful, so it loosened its claws and retreated to a meter away from the dining table.

Maybe it's because it's neither sweet nor cold?

A thought flashed through his mind, and Zhu Ran began to enjoy his meal with relish.

"Son, do you know what kind of extraordinary creature the meat in the meat sauce comes from?"

At the dining table next to him, a young father was taking the opportunity to teach his four- or five-year-old son.

"I know!"

The little boy looked away from the beautiful butterfly, blew his nose, and said in a childish voice:

"It's a meat pig!"

"That's right!"

The father cut the noodles and put them into the baby's bowl, his face full of satisfaction.

Meat pig...

Zhu Ran automatically imagined a big fat pig—round and plump, pink and tender, with piles of fat all over its body, short and thick limbs buried in fat, and a belly that droops and drags on the ground, swaying with every step it takes.

"Do you know how many kilograms of pork a broiler pig can produce in a day?"

The father continued to ask.

"Ten pounds?"

The boy counted on his fingers and called out what he considered to be the largest number.

The father smiled and shook his head:

"A meat pig can produce no less than 30 jin of meat per day."

"But that's not the point. The point is that when humans cut its flesh, it doesn't feel pain. Instead, because of the regeneration of its skin and flesh, its whole body feels tingly and itchy, making it moan and roll around in pleasure!"

"This is an extraordinary species that our country is proud of, and it has now been promoted all over the world..."

Children need to start learning from a young age.

The same applies to the world of beast taming.

"The equally renowned 'ham beef' also possesses incredible regenerative abilities; cutting off a leg every day helps with metabolism, leading to better health..."

As Zhu Ran listened, he smiled knowingly.

These two extraordinary creatures are indeed top-tier ingredients.

If the apocalypse were to break out one day, the beast tamers who raise meat pigs and ham cows would be least worried about starving to death.
