Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Name: Mingxi

【Gender: Female】

The female doctor blinked.

Blinked again.

The information on the digital panel remained unchanged.

Female doctor: ...

"Qiqi." Qiqi vine reached out a tendril and touched her, looking at her beast tamer with concern and asking what was wrong.

The female doctor seemed to snap out of a daze and shook her head reassuringly at her pet: "I'm fine."

She looked at Mingxi in the space capsule again and sighed, "Is this what they mean by 'you can't judge a book by its cover'?"

But that's too much of a misrepresentation.

Three minutes later, Mingxi successfully completed her identity registration with her physical examination report. Although she was not yet a formal beast tamer, she inexplicably felt as if the world had been completely renewed.

Next, we can test the quality of the Soul Key.

Pay again and get a number.

Not long after, they entered the key detection room.

"The pet space is in your sea of ​​consciousness. Try to sense its existence first."

The staff were very friendly when they learned that Mingxi had awakened naturally.

Mingxi nodded, closed her eyes to perceive, and the next second her soul seemed to be drawn in, entering a very mysterious state.

In my consciousness, a bright pyramid space rotates at a slow, regular frequency.

The space consists of four equilateral triangular walls, forming a space of about 20 cubic meters. The wall material is very special; it looks like crystal but also has a metallic texture.

But only one wall is bright white, while the other three are a dull white, like an unlit light bulb.

At the center of the space floats a key that shimmers with seven-colored light.

"See that key? If you do, take it with your mind."

The staff member's gentle voice rang in her ears, and Mingxi did as she was told. Immediately, a hard object appeared in her right hand.

"Very good, you succeeded."

Mingxi quickly opened her eyes and looked down at her right palm, where a key about 25 centimeters long was lying quietly.

Its overall shape is that of a sword, somewhat like the sword in a hairpin from ancient times, like a work of art carefully crafted by the gods, with every pattern on it exuding mystery and nobility.

"what?"

The two staff members in the testing room exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

One of them said, "It's actually the Iridescent Key."

Mingxi was stunned.

Search the original owner's memories again.

Although the original owner was a poor student, it doesn't mean she was stupid. A large part of the reason she didn't do well in her studies was due to the influence of her family and work.

Even if someone is truly stupid, they still possess a thorough grasp of common sense.

The Iridescent Key is the most unique among the Soul Keys.

Here's an additional point I need to add.

That is the Spirit Contract Chamber.

The Spirit Covenant Chamber is a creation of Heaven, not man-made, and so far, it cannot be destroyed by any external object, but it can be moved by human intervention.

All Spirit Contract Chambers discovered today are managed by the Alliance Beast Taming Center and allocated to various regions based on local population and other data. No country, organization, family, or individual may keep them privately; anyone found doing so will be severely punished.

Once a Beastmaster selects a pet to form a contract with, they can use the Soul Key to open the Spirit Contract Room and complete the contract with the pet at the Spirit Contract Platform inside.

In other words, to form a contract with a pet, in addition to the pet itself, both the Soul Key and the Spirit Contract Chamber are indispensable.

As a variant of the Soul Key, the Rainbow Key is undoubtedly extremely rare.

The probability of it occurring is only 0.003%, which is even rarer than natural awakening.

Doesn't that sound incredibly sophisticated? Do you think it's a cheat code that only main characters have?

If that's what you think, then it proves you've read too many wish-fulfillment novels.

The difference between the Rainbow Key and the ordinary Soul Key is that it has an additional option: it does not require preparing a pet in advance. Instead, it allows for random summoning contracts through the Spirit Contract Platform, with the heavens assigning the contracted pet to the user.

It's like opening a blind box; even the manufacturer might not know what they'll get.

Doesn't that sound fun? Exciting?

However, history, with its blood and tears, tells the naive Beast Tamers that opening blind boxes is not only highly unreliable, but also carries enormous risks.

According to the Alliance's statistics, 95% of the extraordinary creatures randomly summoned by the Rainbow Key have extremely poor talent and aptitude.

How bad is it?

The beast tamers who contracted them could never raise them to the level of high-level pets in their entire lives.

Isn't that bad enough?

As for the remaining 5%, their talents and aptitudes are quite good, but there is a high chance that the pet will turn against the beast tamer, forcibly breaking the contract with the beast tamer and directly causing damage to the beast tamer's brain.

Very few lucky individuals manage to escape the curse; to say they are extremely rare is an exaggeration.

What a rip-off!

What a sinkhole!

Therefore, as the Beast Taming Civilization has developed to this point, very few Beast Tamers still use the random summoning function of the Rainbow Key.

Even if opening blind boxes can save a lot of money on buying pets.

Without a protagonist's halo and a rebellious streak, who would dare to risk their future by jumping into a predictable pit?

After all, this no longer involves the realm of metaphysics, but rather the realm of martial arts.

Only grandmasters who have mastered Iron Head Kung Fu to its highest level have the courage to attempt it.

After pulling out the relevant memories, Mingxi was speechless.

How to do?

She's tempted to give it a try.

It wasn't that she was a direct descendant of the Iron Head Kung Fu sect and confident that she could break the curse.

Instead.

She's incredibly poor.

With less than 5000 Star Coins in total assets on her personal terminal, an elderly grandmother who has been seriously ill and is in dire need of care, and a debt of more than 20 Star Coins, does she have the right to be picky about buying her favorite pet?

What are you daydreaming about?

She had already done a quick survey on her way from school to the Beast Taming Center.

The cheapest pet egg at the neighboring pet breeding center costs 8 star coins.

She did want to find the original owner's mother.

In her view, that woman had a responsibility to raise her.

The main reason why the original owner of this body suffered so much was because of her birth mother.

Because her birth mother was still alive, the national welfare system automatically excluded the original owner from the scope of civil affairs assistance, resulting in the original owner being unable to enjoy orphan subsidies or receive child support from her mother.

Some people are better off dead than alive.

Therefore, the original owner's resentment towards his birth mother was deeper than the sea, wider than the sky, and more boundless than the stars and the ocean.

She had secretly vowed that she would never bow down to that woman.

But Mingxi is not the original owner of this body. She understands the original owner, but she cannot empathize with her.

After all, when faced with reality and future prospects, dignity isn't something of much value.

But as soon as she thought that, a piercing pain shot through her internal organs and limbs, as if her soul had been attacked.
