Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Mingxi didn't care: "Whatever."

"Hehehe, anyway, Wei Xunxun and I already competed this afternoon, so his getting stronger won't affect me anymore. But if Wei Xunxun really beats Hualu tomorrow, wouldn't that be the same as me winning? I think that's pretty good!"

Mingxi couldn't understand his Ah Q-style self-comfort.

Shao Dingding obviously couldn't understand it either.

I couldn't help but say:

Even if Wei Xunxun beats Hualu, Wei Xunxun is behind in points. Even if he wins all three games tomorrow, it is unlikely that he can catch up with the two of you, unless you and Hualu lose all three games.

This is obviously impossible.

"But you lost to Hualu before. According to the competition rules, even if you two tie in the end, Hualu will still be the first in your group, and the final result won't change."

Fu Yifan knew this, of course. He waved his hand and said, "You girls don't understand our competitive spirit."

Fine.

That's just because men and women are different.

"It's almost my turn."

Mingxi noticed that the staff had already called out the number before hers.

"Number 177, Spirit Contract Room No. 6."

Sure enough, within a minute, a staff member came out and called her number.

Mingxi quickly got up and walked over to the staff member.

Fu Yifan and Shao Dingding followed behind her, looking both excited and nervous.

The staff's gaze swept over the three of them, finally settling on Jin Yuanbao, who was obediently sharpening his claws on Mingxi's shoulder.

Her face suddenly turned cold, and she looked at Mingxi with icy eyes: "Are you number 177?"

Mingxi was stunned.

Does this staff member seem angry?

Could it be because she was with two other people?

But as long as the Beastmaster agrees, can parents and friends accompany the Beastmaster to wait outside the Spirit Contract Room?

There's also the rule that no more than two people can accompany her, but she didn't exceed that limit.

Although Mingxi couldn't understand the change in the staff's attitude, she still nodded seriously.

The staff's expressions visibly turned even colder.

"Why isn't the pet you're trying to contract wearing a control ring? Do you have proof of purchase or a breeding certificate from the Beast Taming Center for this pet?"

Mingxi suddenly realized.

I immediately understood the reason for the change in the staff's attitude.

It turns out it was due to the control loop.

Because the pet contract ceremony must be conducted in the Spirit Contract Room, the Beast Tamer needs to bring the appropriate pet or pet egg to the Beast Taming Center to complete the contract.

Extraordinary beings that are not bound by contracts, even those bred in breeding centers, possess a certain degree of aggression and uncontrollability, and may resist, escape, or attack humans.

Therefore, the alliance researched and created the pet control ring.

The control ring can effectively suppress the emotions of extraordinary creatures, control the behavior of pets, and prevent accidents from happening.

Once a Beast Tamer awakens their Soul Key and, through legal and compliant means such as purchasing or commissioning a breeding program, identifies a transcendent creature to be contracted with, the Beast Taming Center or Breeding Shop will attach a control ring to that Beast.

Upon entering the Spirit Contract Room, the control ring will be retrieved by the staff of the Beast Taming Center.

Bringing wild supernatural beings without control rings into the Spirit Contract Department is illegal.

In serious cases, the beast tamer will be subject to extremely severe punishment.

In other words, the control ring is equivalent to the identity certificate of the extraordinary being about to be contracted.

The existence of the control ring has also effectively prevented some cases of illegal hunting of wild supernatural creatures.

Of course, pet eggs do not require a control ring, but a purchase certificate or breeding certificate is still required before entering the Spirit Contract Room.

"You've misunderstood," Mingxi said with a wry smile.

"The Thunder Demon Bird is my pet beast, a pet beast that I have already formed a contract with."

Fearing the other party wouldn't believe her, Mingxi simply put the gold ingot back into her pet space.

Upon realizing they had made a mistake, the staff member's expression froze for a moment, then quickly turned to confusion.

If this bird pet wasn't the one the girl was planning to contract, then why were the three of them empty-handed?

Do these three teenagers possess spatial storage items?

Did you put the pet eggs away?

As the staff were racking their brains, they heard the little girl in front of them say, "I'm going to perform a Rainbow Summoning Contract, so I didn't bring any pets or pet eggs with me."

The staff member blinked, then blurted out, bewildered yet excited, "You mean Hong Kong search?"

Goodness, they're even speaking in dialect now.

Mingxi noticed that after she said those words, countless surprised and inquisitive gazes came from the waiting area.

As expected, once the Iridescent Key is revealed, no one can compete.

"Sister, could you please lead us inside first?"

She didn't want to receive that kind of staring at, like she was looking at a silly monkey.

The staff member snapped out of their daze and quickly led the three towards Spirit Contract Room No. 6.

en route.

"You truly awakened the Iridescent Key?"

Mingxi handed over the key verification form.

"Huh? You're only 14? Is this your second time awakening the Soul Key?"

Mingxi nodded.

The staff member looked both amazed and helpless, his face a picture of conflict.

"Are you really going to perform the Rainbow Summoning?"

Mingxi nodded without hesitation.

"you sure?"

Mingxi nodded again.

This staff member is practically Fu Yifan 2.

What terrible things has she done?

Mingxi was finally relieved when she finally arrived at the door of Spirit Contract Room No. 6.

He skillfully retrieved the Soul Key, opened the door, and entered, walking with a brisk pace and without the slightest hesitation.

After entering the Spirit Contract Chamber, Mingxi cleverly summoned Jin Yuanbao again.

Let it witness the summoning contract process firsthand.

Beastmasters who have already formed a contract with a pet will not be excluded by the rules of the Spirit Contract Room.

The layout of the Spirit Contract Chambers was largely the same, and Mingxi stepped onto the Spirit Contract Platform with familiarity.

Insert the key into the center lock.

Familiar spirit arrays lit up one after another beneath my feet.

This time, Mingxi wisely stood on the outermost edge of the Spirit Contract Platform. In case Erwa attacked her without asking any questions, just like Jin Yuanbao, she could avoid him in time.

In the light, an "object" about half the height of a person appeared in Mingxi and Jin Yuanbao's field of vision.

Before she could even see clearly, Mingxi's heart skipped a beat.

When she finally saw the true form of the "object," she almost fainted and fell off the Spirit Contract Platform.

"You're kidding me!"

Outside the Spirit Contract Room, Fu Yifan and Shao Dingding stared nervously at the closed door.

"Sister Shao, do you think Mingxi will contract a pet beast this time?"

To ease the tension, Fu Yifan started making small talk.

He and Shao Dingding just met today; they're really not familiar with each other.

Because of Zhang Cheng, Shao Dingding's attitude towards men became extremely cold.

However, because they had a mutual friend, Shao Dingding's attitude towards Fu Yifan was acceptable.

Mingxi trusted her friends, and she trusted them too.

That's how utterly shameless they are.

Shao Dingding smiled gently, "No matter what it is, I believe Xiaoxi can raise it very well."

Just like the Thunderbird, even if it can't evolve and is only a mid-level pet, it can still defeat high-level pets.

"Sister Shao, you're right."

At that moment, the door to the Spirit Contract Chamber opened again.
