Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Mingxi looked at it and said in an exceptionally sincere tone, "Your talent is so good that I'm worried I'm not good enough for you."

"thunder."

"Lei Lei".

The Thunderbird nodded solemnly and cried out twice.

This means you are indeed not good enough for me, but considering that you are also my savior, I will not look down on you for the time being.

Mingxi's eyes held a subtle expression.

That sentence contains a lot of information.

It seems her random summoning did indeed save its life, and it didn't hide it but expressed it directly, showing that it even understands the principle of gratitude.

So it's highly likely he's not some cunning monster, reducing the risk of backlash; of course, it could also be because he's young and doesn't understand those intricacies yet.

He also calls himself "Young Master" and speaks with absolute arrogance.

Basically, we can conclude that her Thunderbird is a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) and tsundere (another person with delusions of grandeur).

Mingxi raised her hand and stroked its smooth, satin-like feathers. "Then I thank you for not disliking it for now."

If you don't mind, you don't mind, but you added "temporarily" which is both frustrating and funny.

"Lei Lei." Not bad, you're quite sensible.

After spending more than two hours at the Beast Taming Center and exhausting most of her savings, Mingxi was finally able to leave as a Beast Tamer.

At this point, her personal information section on her personal terminal had already changed.

[Citizen ID: Y11071268031477588]

【Name: Mingxi★】

【Gender: Female】

[Date of birth: March 14, xxxx]

[Nationality: Longhua]

[Place of Household Registration: Jianghuai Region, Shanghai Province, Haizhou City]

[Identity: F-rank Beastmaster]

[Pet: Thunderbird (Intermediate)]

The star next to her name actually represents her F-rank Beastmaster status. Sometimes, when it is necessary to show her Beastmaster status but you do not want to expose other personal information, you can just show the name field.

The higher the Beastmaster's level, the more stars they receive, with one star added for each level – it's very simple and straightforward.

In addition, the citizen number has also changed, with the letter Y added at the beginning, the first letter of Beastmaster Yu, officially distinguishing them from ordinary citizens.

"Now, let's go home."

Although it's interstellar, the means of transportation aren't much different from Mingxi's in her previous life.

Public buses, subways, and taxis remain the mainstream modes of transportation.

Of course, its performance in all aspects is incomparable to her previous life. For example, the taxis here are divided into those that run on the ground and those that fly in the sky.

Flying cars are no longer a dream.

In addition, you can also choose to travel by flying pet to experience the most primal speed and passion.

Mingxi is now considered a beast tamer with flying pets, but unfortunately her Thunder Demon Bird isn't big enough. It's not impossible for her to ride it, since she doesn't have much meat on her body.

However, it does have a slight suspicion of animal cruelty.

So for now, let it 'ride' her.

As a genuinely poor person, Mingxi ultimately had no choice but to take the subway home.

The Thunderbird still refused to return to the pet space, so Mingxi naturally gave in to it.

The Thunderbird was clearly summoned from another planet or secret realm, so it is necessary to familiarize it with its new environment.

This will also help her to identify and resolve problems in a timely manner, and minimize the risk of being forcibly terminated from her contract in the future.

So Mingxi walked into the subway station with a heroic air, one shoulder stained with blood and the other draped with golden bird feathers.

For a time, the rate of people turning their heads back was incalculable.

In this situation, the expressions of the man and the beast were surprisingly identical, equally calm and composed, as if those gazes did not exist.

He walked with his eyes fixed straight ahead, his steps always unhurried, exuding the aura of a powerful figure strolling leisurely through his own thousands of square meters of backyard.

The beast was slowly preening its feathers with its beak, occasionally raising its head to look around with its red eyes, revealing expressions of curiosity, disdain, or deep thought.

Perhaps because the two of them were so calm, those gazes were quickly withdrawn.

"Lei Lei".

On the subway, the Thunderbird extended its claw and tapped the personal terminal shaped like a mobile phone in Mingxi's hand, asking what it was.

Mingxi explained in a way that it could understand, "This is a personal terminal with many functions. It can be used to prove one's identity, to make purchases, and to contact other people."

"Lei Lei".

Is it only for humans to use?

Are our beasts not worthy?

Mingxi laughed and said, "Of course not. Beast tamers and their pets are one. You are my pet, and I am your beast tamer, so what is mine is yours, and my personal terminal is naturally your personal terminal as well."

As she spoke, she opened her personal information page and pointed to the last few lines.

"Look, this contains your information."

The Thunderbird brought its head closer, its two eyes darting around rapidly. After a long while, it let out a somewhat unwilling cry.

It means that it doesn't understand.

Despite its arrogance, it is indeed a rare honest beast.

"It's okay. If you like, we can study together and improve together in the future." Anyway, she's a poor student now and has a lot of knowledge to learn.

Having your own pet as a companion while reading is quite nice; it's a way of adding fragrance to your studies.

"Thunder." Okay.

The human and the beast unexpectedly got along harmoniously.

Mingxi is searching online for information about the Thunderbird, and most of the information matches what the previous staff member said.

[I've always felt it's a shame that pets like the Thunderbird can't evolve further. They're dual-type flying and lightning creatures with exceptional talent; almost every one of them could be the pinnacle of combat power at their level. They're also very good-looking. It's just so tragic that they can't evolve any further.]

[It's a real shame. I've seen videos of Darmanitan and Gyarados battling before, and Darmanitan completely dominated Gyarados; the two are simply incomparable.]

What good is it if Thunderbird is invincible among its peers? These days, mid-tier pets are just weaklings! The inability to evolve is its original sin. Even if Sparky Owl is weak, at least it has a complete evolutionary chain. If Sparky Owl couldn't beat Thunderbird in its early stages, does that mean it still can't beat it after evolving into Lightning Owl?

I've heard that the Thunderbird is almost extinct now, with only a few possibly still being bred at the Pet Research Institute. In the Chuanyang region, almost all the beast tamers who contract Golden Feathered Birds follow the evolutionary chain of the Shining Owl.

[Actually, there are records of Thunderbirds evolving into high-level pets, but there are no records of them being artificially bred to that level. Because no one can be certain that there aren't evolved forms of Thunderbirds in those secret realms and hidden areas, right?]

[The comment above makes sense. So the Thunderbird isn't incapable of evolving; it's just that our scientists and Beastmasters are too useless.]

Mingxi also thought it made sense.

Do you know what you'll evolve into next?

With a try-it-out mentality, Mingxi asked the question to the pet beast itself.

"thunder."
