My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

A huge floor-to-ceiling window spans the entire wall, with no obstructions outside, making the iconic Shanghai Oriental Pearl Battle Tower seem almost within reach.

Even more outrageous, there is a separate pet training room next to the living room.

Energy-absorbing panels are embedded in the walls, and the floor is covered with wear-resistant special alloy flooring.

Although it's not a very large facility, for beast tamers traveling, being able to conduct basic training anytime in a hotel room is already a rather luxurious feature.

However, Xia Yu has absolutely no interest in touring the room right now.

From last night until now, he has experienced a series of high-intensity events, including the successful formulation experiment, finding the Spirit Velvet Beast, forming a contract with Lady Snow Spirit, battling the Galactic Team, and dealing with the police.

My physical and mental strength were completely depleted, and I didn't even have the energy to open and look at the reward for the sudden mission issued by the system last night.

I found the bathroom and took a nice, relaxing hot shower.

Then he pounced onto the soft bed, and the moment his head sank into the down pillow, his consciousness was gently swallowed by the darkness.

Perhaps it was because what happened that night was too bloody, but Xia Yu had a nightmare.

In his dream, he was brutally pounced on and knocked to the ground by the three-headed dog of the underworld.

Although he won't die in Miaomiao's Pet House, he still can't break free from this guy's control.

Faced with the absolute power of a calamity-level pet beast, his struggles were as weak as an ant trying to shake a tree.

The three heads opened their mouths simultaneously, and the three-colored energy exploded into a blinding white light before his eyes.

Xia Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

Then he saw the Spirit Velvet Beast curled up on his chest, sleeping soundly.

Xia Yu: "......"

I was wondering why I had such a terrible nightmare; it turns out it was this little guy who was behind it!

Xia Yu, both amused and exasperated, removed the "Three-Headed Dog of the Underworld" that had been pressing down on him all night from his chest.

The little guy woke up with a start, his big, light pink eyes snapping open. He blinked groggily for a moment, then fixed his gaze on Xia Yu's face.

Once she confirmed it was him, the panic in her eyes was instantly replaced by a soft, affectionate look.

"I remember last night Aunt Xue took you to sleep next door, didn't she?"

Xia Yu said helplessly, "Why did you come here..."

The Spirit Velvet Beast blinked, then simply turned its head to the other side of the bed.

Xia Yu followed its gaze and saw that Madam Xue Ling, who was supposed to be "sleeping with the child," had also run to his bed and was now sleeping soundly.

Xia Yu: "......"

So, they all came over last night, one by one.

Is there some strange attraction to my bed?

Well, we can't blame them.

The emotional impact of last night's events is still too great; both Lady Snow Spirit and the Spirit Velvet Beast need a sense of security.

At this moment, in this unfamiliar hotel suite, the greatest source of security is probably sleeping next to him.

Xia Yu sighed softly, making sure not to wake Madam Xue Ling, and picked up his phone from the bedside table to check the time.

It's almost eleven o'clock.

I got to the hotel around 3 a.m. after all the commotion last night, so it's normal that I slept until now.

The fatigue in my body hasn't completely dissipated, but at least the mess in my mind has cleared up considerably.

Xia Yu was just about to get out of bed when he saw a lot of unread messages on his phone.

Lin Sisi, Zhao Yuankang, Tang Yun, Wen Shiyu, Jiang Yuxi... and Lin Zhengyao too?

Xia Yu was slightly taken aback.

After clicking on it, I found that most of the messages they sent were about what happened last night.

A major beast-taming battle involving cataclysmic beasts has occurred in downtown Shanghai, making it impossible to ignore.

As a customer who had frequent contact with Xia Yu, it was only natural for him to come over and inquire after discovering that Miaomiao Pet House had been destroyed when he woke up one night.

Xia Yu, wrapped in a blanket, leaned against the headboard and replied to each message one by one.

Lin Sisi, Zhao Yuankang, and Tang Yun were simply concerned. Xia Yu politely replied, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. I'll have the energy cubes delivered to you by courier later."

Jiang Yuxi's message was much more concise.

"I heard something happened at Miaomiao Pet House, do you need help?"

Xia Yu thought for a moment, then replied without being polite, "Sure, I was just about to talk to you about the reconstruction. If it's convenient this afternoon, I'll come to the Donglin Dojo to find you."

Relationships always deepen gradually through interactions and favors.

When it came to Lin Zhengyao, he hesitated for a moment.

"I am aware of what happened last night. I am very sorry that such a heinous attack on a Beast Tamer occurred in Shanghai. The Shanghai Beast Taming Association will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation and compensation."

Looking at the message sent by this big shot, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and typed a reply.

"Thank you for your concern, President Lin. I'm fine. Eliminating evil beast tamers is my duty as a citizen of Shanghai!"

It seems like a direct attack, but without knowing Lin Zhengyao's true identity, this answer is completely unfounded.

Moreover, it was Team Galaxy that came to launch the sneak attack, and it had nothing to do with Lin Zhengyao's Team Rocket.

Who knows, the two families might have some kind of feud.

After replying to the messages, Xia Yu finally had time to check the rewards for last night's mission.

[Pokémon Item Crafting Station: Simply place the specified materials according to the blueprint to craft the corresponding Pokémon item!]

[Current Pokémon item blueprints owned: 0]

Xia Yu's eyes lit up.

This is a great product!

The so-called Pokémon items are naturally not just as simple as Poké Balls.

Whether it's the [Exp. Share] that Xia Yu drew before, or the [Ability Potion], [TM], and [Mystic Water], they are all, broadly speaking, a type of Pokémon item.

Besides these nurturing items, there are also many useful battle items.

The [Aura Sash] ensures you won't be instantly killed by a single skill;

The [Life Gem] directly increases output by 30%;

The Assault Vest, which prevents the use of status moves but increases Special Defense by 50%, is equipped with this item.

And so on.

and many more!

The Slate of Arceus... in a broader sense, isn't it also a kind of prop?

Xia Yu stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

Chapter 65 Contract with the Spirit Velvet Beast!

The Arceus Slab and the like are ultimately too far removed from Xia Yu's reach.

He doesn't even have a single blueprint yet.

However, there are only two days left until May 1st. Let's see what we can get from the Meow Meow Shop's monthly limited-time offers then.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xia Yu arranged room service for lunch and then went to the bathroom to wash up.

While brushing his teeth, Xia Yu opened Pixiv as usual.

Unsurprisingly.

Whether it's local channels in Shanghai or the information feed recommended on the homepage, the same topic is everywhere.

The titles are getting more and more outrageous.

[Miaomiao Pet House Attacked, Three Catastrophe-Level Pets Killed!]

[Shocking! The body of a master-level beast tamer was found in downtown Shanghai late at night!]

[Exclusive Exclusive: Why a Pet House Attracted a Cataclysmic Attack!]

The video posted by the official account of the Donghuang Beast Taming Association even surpassed one million likes in just four hours.

Xia Yu opened the comments section.

Holy crap! Isn't this my neighbor's house? How could I not have noticed such a commotion?!

It's said that Ye Xuanwu used a "Dark Barrier" to isolate them; otherwise, with several Calamity-level pets fighting, you probably wouldn't have seen the sun rise today...

[Sigh, a world with pets is terrifying. I really want to travel to a world without supernatural powers. It must be so peaceful there, right?]

Is this Miaomiao Pet Shop the one that sells "Rainbow" and "Taunt" items?

"That's the one. Otherwise, why would a master-level beast tamer launch a night raid? Isn't it all for the treasure?"

"Ah, are those two skills really that powerful? Is it worth a master-level beast tamer doing something like that?"

[It's suspected that a fire-type beast tamer did this to prevent the "rainmaking" spell from spreading (laughing emoji)]

[Bullshit! Didn't the Donglin Dojo just officially announce that they can also teach "rainmaking"?]

[Isn't anyone curious about how the master-level beast tamer and those three cataclysmic-level pets died? Those were cataclysmic-level!]

[Curiosity +1, could that shopkeeper be a Heavenly King-level Beastmaster...? Otherwise, I find it hard to imagine anyone being able to kill someone of that level, someone like Qu who died instantly.]

[Are you kidding me? I've been to Miaomiao Pet Shop, and that weak shopkeeper has never even contracted a single pet. His spiritual energy is 0!]

[Pass this on: The manager of Miaomiao Pet Shop is 0!]

【...】

Xia Yu chuckled softly as he turned off his phone.

I don't know how I managed to turn the tables and defeat the master-level beast tamer?
