Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 8 Big Grey's Past
The full name of Da Hui is Gray Night Totoro, and it is a powerful type of pet.

It is very strong and can lift objects weighing tons, but it is gentle and is usually used as a porter.

Aside from being stronger, the Grey race doesn't have many outstanding features. Moreover, it's recognized on Earth as a pet beast without an evolutionary path, so very few people would contract a Grey Night Chinchilla as their pet beast.

Ye Bai found Big Gray on a night of torrential rain. He found Big Gray covered in wounds in the garbage dump.

At that time, its fur was not gray, but snow-white, making it a rare breed of pet. Such pets could fetch a high price on the black market.

Ye Bai secretly glanced at Big Gray. It had countless wounds on its body that were bleeding, the most serious of which was the wound on its abdomen, where half of its intestines were exposed.

Its wrists and ankles bore the marks of shackles.

There was also a collar around its neck that looked like a dog tag.

It lay on the garbage heap, barely alive. Ye Bai thought Big Gray had just died and was about to avoid this troublesome thing when Big Gray grabbed Ye Bai's ankle.

Ye Bai looked down and met those large, bright blue eyes.

A glint of longing for life flashed in its eyes. Ye Bai understood what Big Gray meant; it wanted Ye Bai to save it.

Ye Bai was moved by the survival instinct in Big Gray's eyes, so he wasted his only beast storage card and took Big Gray inside.

He also erased the path he had taken and deleted all the surveillance footage along the way.

Judging from the dog tag hanging around Big Grey's neck and the marks on its hands, this creature was likely a pet that escaped from a private research institute.

The rain poured down, and many traces were wiped away by the roaring downpour.

When Ye Bai released Big Gray from the beast card, Big Gray was stiff like a corpse. If it weren't for the slight breathing on its belly, Ye Bai would have disposed of it as a corpse long ago.

Because the medical equipment in the breeding house was rudimentary, Ye Bai could only give Big Gray a simple treatment, suturing its wounds and injecting it with the few antibiotics available in the shop. After that, he could only leave the rest to fate.

The tracking system inside the dog tag had been destroyed by Da Hui, and the only remaining self-destruct function had been removed by Ye Bai.

Ye Bai had originally thought that Da Hui would develop a high fever that night, so he prepared some fever reducers and ice.

Unexpectedly, after just one night, granulation tissue had grown from Big Gray's wound, and it was able to open its eyes and climb off the bed to move around.

Three days later, Big Gray's fur had turned from snow-white to gray, and all the wounds on its body had scabbed over and fallen off.

Its originally bright blue eyes have turned greenish-blue, with only occasional glimpses of the bright blue in reflections.

As a result, it lost most of its memories, only remembering that it was abandoned. It forgot its memories of escaping from the research institute, including why it was so badly injured.

This immediately alerted Ye Bai, so he did his best to hide Big Gray's whereabouts. Sure enough, a few days later, there were more strangers on the streets.

To this end, Ye Bai even made a special trip to forge the receipt for purchasing the Gray Night Totoro, just to prevent someone from coming to his door one day.

Because Big Grey's hair and pupil color had changed, and because Ye Bai had hacked into the system and forged credentials, the strangers who came to check several times failed to discover Big Grey's true identity.

Gradually, those people gave up the search, thinking that Big Grey must have escaped to somewhere else.

They lived peacefully like this for three years. Because Big Grey remembered that it had been abandoned, it felt compassion for those poor abandoned pets.

These pets usually have their own defects.

Like the Thunder Pig, which was originally a pet beast capable of unleashing terrifying electric currents, it was abandoned because its own power-generating organs malfunctioned.

Like the chameleon, whose scales can change color to match the surroundings, it can always remain invisible and is very popular with some pet owners. Unfortunately, it also had a problem that prevented it from becoming invisible and was abandoned.

To remove a contract, a pet master needs an item called the River Styx.

This item is quite expensive to make, with an initial price of 50,000 Alliance Coins.

Pets abandoned by their masters and who voluntarily break their contracts are unable to form contracts with another master for two years. Ye Bai's breeding house is practically turning into a pet adoption center.

As a result, Ye Bai went from being a student with a little extra money to someone who worried about making a living every day.

The monthly food expenses at the incubator are an astronomical figure.

He had also considered helping the pets in the store find kind-hearted people to adopt them.

However, because of the defects in the pets, no one was willing to take them on, which instead made more people aware of the breeding center where Ye Bai was located, and that the pets there had defects.

If Ye Bai's shop hadn't sold a very special berserk potion, his breeding center would probably have gone bankrupt.

Ye Bai looked at Da Hui, who seemed guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye, and was speechless.

Big Grey lowered its head, its view blocked by its large belly, and its desperate attempts to inhale were in vain.

"Big Grey, how many times have I told you?"

"Our breeding center is already operating at a loss, why did you bring back another pet?"

The tall and burly Big Gray was scolded by Ye Bai like a grandson.

"Take it out quickly so I can check it and see if there are any parasites or infectious diseases."

Ye Bai said irritably, and a hint of joy flashed in Big Gray's eyes. It knew that Ye Bai was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, which was why it brought the pets back to the breeding house time and time again.

Although he would be scolded by Ye Bai every time, the scolding was so insignificant that it didn't make Da Hui realize the seriousness of the problem.

At this moment, Big Grey took out a cardboard box from behind his back, inside which was a newborn Lightning Cat.

Lightning Cat is a rare lightning-type pet. It is usually golden, but some are black.

The lightning cat in front of me is all golden.

Pets on Earth are mainly divided into the following attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, ice, wind, light, darkness, poison, fighting, dragon, and ghost.

However, when Ye Bai looked at Lightning Cat, he was immediately stunned.

A cool breeze passed through Ye Bai's eyes, and a projection screen appeared in front of him, displaying data related to Lightning Cat.

This guy actually has two evolution paths. Wait, that's not the point. Why can I see the evolution paths of my pets? Has my eye mutated?
At this moment, Ye Bai looked into the mirror and discovered that his eyes had turned blood red, like the finest red gemstones.

When Li Weiyang uses the Eye of Insight, her pupils are also red. Is there any connection between these two things?
