CHAPTER 545: CHAPTER 480: GAINED A LEGENDARY PET

Fiers, the Kings of Magical Beasts, are quite clear-minded about this.

If their offspring are caught by Humans as mounts or preyed upon by Magical Beasts, then they are simply gone.

But if they are sold?

Anyway, they’re not core members of the tribe. Selling them to humans as mounts allows me to gain a massive amount of Azanen Coins, and then I can turn around and indulge in a lavish lifestyle in the Great Wilderness City. Isn’t that great?

Like the King of Magical Beasts in the Great Swamp, the Lava Lion, who used to worry constantly about food issues, restraining his tribe from excessive reproduction to prevent food shortages.

But now?

Reproduce!

Reproduce with full effort!

No matter how many are born, the Great Wilderness City can sell them.

From this, the Great Wilderness City takes a cut, and the remaining goes to the Lava Lion.

As the king of the tribe, is it excessive for me to make some money by selling people?

Not excessive at all!

Moreover, as long as they are not core tribe members, those that have been bred for hundreds of generations have already lost all emotional ties.

So, the Green Water Python, Bloodthirsty Demon Bull, and these other Kings of Magical Beasts are now living it up.

Anyone who has interacted with or understood them, including Naseng, envies them immensely.

But most are too embarrassed, after all, to be such distinguished figures, just to run straight up and ask to join?

They don’t have the naivete of the Elephantman Tribe Race.

Legend, deities.

Each one is a renowned figure in Naseng!

Besides those like Lin Ke, who are rising stars, legends and deities are the pinnacle that all Naseng life forms pursue.

However, at this moment, the Storm Rat...

"Hmm, Mr. Fiers, do you mean you want to join the Great Wilderness City?" Lin Ke asked somewhat uncertainly.

Is this what they call legendary aura... no, majestic aura?

Just starting a journey and encountering a mighty figure who bows down?

"Exactly!" Storm Rat Fiers instantly stopped wailing, raised its body, and looked cutely at Lin Ke: "I want to lead the Storm Rat tribe and have them all join the Great Wilderness City!"

Lin Ke pondered for a moment, then asked: "Your Storm Rat tribe, how many are there in total?"

"I don’t know! They’re everywhere in the Elemental Forest, maybe one or two hundred billion?" The Storm Rat replied uncertainly.

Then it saw Lin Ke’s widened eyes: "One or two hundred... billion?!"

For heaven’s sake, such a large rat, one or two hundred billion, the Great Wilderness City couldn’t support them!

The Elemental Forest is vast and endless, comparable to the Eurasian continent in the previous life.

Such a large place can’t sustain these rats, one or two hundred billion. Is this Fiers trying to drain the Great Wilderness City and become the new Duke of Lava?

"...No, but, well, my core tribe members are estimated to be just around one billion... give or take?"

Storm Rat Fiers cautiously observed Lin Ke’s expression and found Lin Ke’s expression darker than the rear of the black water buffalo in its territory, so it quickly added with a smile:

"Not all core tribe members need to be taken away, I’ll just, I’ll just take one million tribe members!"

One million rats...

Hearing this, Lin Ke’s expression slightly improved.

One million rats aren’t too bad.

The Great Wilderness Plane now has about more than ten million square kilometers, which should be able to accommodate them. As for food, it’s primarily ensured by the mass cultivation of Mark trees.

Regarding the living environment, the Lava Swamp is quite suitable.

Also...

"How do your tribe members view being pets?" Lin Ke asked with a peculiar gaze.

This Storm Rat tribe is simply adorable!

Its body resembles a basketball, and it’s covered in fur.

Not to mention that several eager females nearby, even Lin Ke couldn’t help but want to touch Fiers’ body.

"Pets?!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this word, Fiers was somewhat angry: "My Storm Rat tribe, eats leaves from above, nibbles roots from below, stands firm in the Elemental Forest from insignificance, and will never engage in that kind of pleasing, cute behavior! None of my subjects would want to be pets!"

Everyone’s expression became invigorated.

This Storm Rat tribe, so resilient!?

A truly respectable tribe indeed!

Long established in the south, the Great Wilderness City rarely encounters northern matters, but these northern parts are truly remarkable. Even a Storm Rat like this magical beast can speak so convincingly and powerfully?

This legendary Storm Rat Fiers is indeed a worthy being to become legendary, with an extraordinarily firm will.

Just as everyone was secretly admiring, Lin Ke’s gaze became peculiar, and then he playfully said: "What if food and lodging are included? By the way, if your ordinary tribe members were sold as pets, they could probably sell for five Azanen Coins, and after deducting tax for City Hall and the mall’s cut, you could have a profit of three Azanen Coins. If there are graded Storm Rats, the price is even higher. If you open your own pet store, you’d earn more..."

All followers were stunned.

Rica cautiously transmitted her voice: "Lin Ke, why are you insulting them like this? Although we aren’t afraid of it, there’s no need to go this far..."

"Is... is this true?!"

As Rica was talking, she saw Fiers suddenly jump up, its small eyes widening.

Seeing this, Rica hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "Sorry, Lord Fiers..."

"...Can it really be sold for five Azanen Coins?"

But Fiers’ words left Rica stuck there.

"...We have no disrespect for you... what, what?" Rica was dumbfounded.

Not only Rica, but Lin Ke’s followers were also stunned.

And Lin Ke, smiling.

His followers received Naseng-style education from a young age, valuing honor and dignity above all else.

Unlike him?

Having been influenced by the benefits-first mindset from a previous life...

Dignity?

People can’t just abandon money for the sake of dignity, right?

Sure enough!

Just watch the Storm Rat Fiers spewing out a rapid stream of words: "Five Azanen Coins! Looks like I need to invest money to build a teleportation array here first... not sure how expensive those graded ones can sell for... damn, those offspring with little bloodlines are a pity, have Tam hurry them up... five Azanen Coins... hehehe..."

This Fiers was mumbling to himself, then chuckling foolishly.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Fiers, I’ve been looking to find a pet... I mean, a battle companion. What do you think of me?" Lin Ke asked with a smile, slightly extending his arms, just enough to hold a Storm Rat.

’Hehe, may I ask, Mr. Lin Ke, about being a battle companion...’

"One thousand coins a month!"

"Master!"

...

Half an hour later, another Storm Rat was summoned into the aircraft carrier and then returned to the Elemental Forest.

Afterward, Lin Ke had an additional ball in his arms.

"Never thought your ancestors were actually pets of the Elemental Duke." Lin Ke said, stroking the fluffy ball-like Storm Rat, with a tone full of emotion.

"Yes, Master." At this point, the Storm Rat showed no legendary demeanor; rather, it skillfully exposed its soft, furry belly for Lin Ke to scratch, much like a dog.

"I don’t know who my parents were, but back then, when the Elemental Duke’s temperament changed drastically, we, a bunch of Storm Rats, left the Elemental Forest to survive outside. Eventually, I became a legend, but unfortunately, my parents passed away, and these years I’ve been enduring with great trouble."

"No worries, the Great Wilderness City will help you." Lin Ke patted the Storm Rat’s belly, surprisingly finding it had a bouncy feel; nearby, Rica and Xiangnai were also reaching out to touch, with the Storm Rat showing a full expression of enjoyment.

Of course, to prevent any harm, Lin Ke also signed a rule contract with Fiers.

Under the rule contract, Lin Ke also gained a pet.

A legendary-level pet!
