The male doctor blinked.
The information on the digital board never changed.
Male doctor: ...
"Qi Qi." The Qi Qi vine stretched out a tentacle and touched him, then looked at its beastmaster, whose emotions were fluctuating violently with concern, and asked him what was wrong.
The male doctor seemed to have just woken up from a dream and shook his head soothingly at his pet: "I'm fine."
He looked at Mingyan in the space capsule again and sighed, "Is this what they mean by don't judge people by appearance?"
But this is too unfair.
Five minutes later, Mingyan and Mingxi successfully completed their identity registration with their physical examination report. Although they were not yet official beast masters, they inexplicably felt as if the world had been completely renewed.
Next, they can test the quality of the soul key. Fortunately, they can do this together, after paying the fee again to get their number.
It wasn't long before we entered the key testing room.
"The pet space is in your sea of consciousness. Try to sense its existence first."
When the staff learned that Mingyan and Mingxi had awakened naturally, they were very friendly.
Mingyan nodded and closed her eyes to perceive. The next second, her soul seemed to be drawn into a very mysterious state.
In the consciousness, a bright pyramid space rotates at a slow and regular frequency.
The four equilateral triangle-shaped walls combine to form a space of approximately 20 cubic meters. The material of the walls is very special. It looks like crystal, but also has a metallic texture.
But only one of the walls was bright white, while the other three were a dull white, like an unlit light bulb.
And at the center of the space was floating a key flashing with colorful light.
"Do you see that key? If you do, use your mind to take it out."
Mingyan heard the gentle voice of the staff and did as he was told. Immediately, a hard object appeared on her right hand.
"Good, you both succeeded."
Mingyan quickly opened his eyes and looked down at the palm of her right hand, where a key about 25 cm long was lying quietly.
It is shaped like a sword overall, just a bit smaller. It is like a work of art carefully carved by gods, and every line on it reveals mystery and nobility.
After looking at her own soul key for a bit, she turned her head to see Mingxi and saw exactly the same soul key. Mingyan and Mingxi weren't shocked as they were supposed to be, but the staff sure were.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
The three staff members in the testing room exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
The second one said, "They Both actually got Magic Color Keys."
Mingyan was stunned.
Search the original owner's memory again.
Although the original owner was a poor student, it did not mean that she was a fool. A big part of the reason why she and her sister were not doing well in their studies was due to the influence of their family and work.
Even if you are really stupid, you still know common sense.
The Fantasy Color Key is the most special of all the Soul Keys.
I have to add a point of knowledge here.
That is the spiritual contract room.
The Spiritual Contract Room is a natural product, not man-made, and so far, no external objects can destroy it, but it can be moved artificially.
All the spiritual contract rooms discovered today are managed by the Alliance Beast Taming Center, and are allocated to various regions based on local population and other data. No country, organization, family or individual is allowed to keep them privately. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.
When the beastmaster selects the pet he wants to contract, he can use the soul key to open the soul contract room and complete the contract with the pet at the soul contract platform inside.
In other words, if you want to contract a pet, in addition to the pet, the Soul Key and the Soul Contract Room are both indispensable.
As a variation of the Soul Key, the Fantasy Color Key is undoubtedly very rare.
The chance of occurrence is only 0.003%, which is even rarer than natural awakening.
Doesn't it sound very high-end? Do you think this is a golden finger that only the protagonist has?
If you think so, it proves that you have read too many cool novels.
The difference between the Fantasy Color Key and the ordinary Soul Key is that it has a new option. It does not need to prepare pets in advance, but can be used through the Spirit Contract Platform to make a random summoning contract, and God will assign them contract pets.
This is just like opening a blind box. Even the manufacturer itself may not know what will come out.
Doesn't it sound fun and exciting?
However, the blood and tears of history tell simple beastmasters that opening blind boxes is not only quite unreliable, but more frighteningly, it also comes with huge risks.
According to statistics from the alliance, 95% of the extraordinary creatures randomly summoned by the Fantasy Key have extremely poor talents and qualifications.
How bad is it?
The beastmasters who contracted them would never be able to train them to the level of high-level pets in their entire lives.
Just ask if it's bad enough?
As for the remaining 5%, their talents and qualifications are quite good, but there is a high probability that the pet will turn against the tamer, forcibly terminate the contract with the tamer, and directly cause damage to the tamer's brain.
There are very few lucky people who can escape the curse by chance, and to say that they are rare is just bragging.
What a pit.
A sinkhole.
Therefore, as the beast taming civilization has developed to this day, very few beast tamers would use the random summoning function of the Fantasy Color Key.
Even if 'opening a blind box' can save a lot of money on buying pets.
Without the aura of a protagonist and a rebellious nature, who would dare to risk his or her future to jump into a foreseeable pit?
After pulling out the relevant memories,
Mingyan: "..."
Mingxi: "..."
What to do?
She kind of wanted to try it.
It's not that she is gambling on her luck
and is very confident that she can break the curse after time travel.
But.
She is very poor.
The total assets on her personal terminal are less than 5,000 star coins.
She has an old grandmother who is seriously ill and in poor health to support, and she and her sister also owe more than 200,000 in foreign debts. Is she qualified to choose and buy the pet she likes?
What are you daydreaming about?
Just now on the way from school to the Beast Taming Center, she had done a brief investigation.
The cheapest pet egg at the pet breeding center next door costs 80,000 star coins.
She actually wanted to find the original owner's mother.
In her opinion, that woman had the responsibility to raise her.
The main reason why the original owner and her sister lived such a miserable life was because of their biological mother.
Because the biological mother was still alive, the national welfare mechanism automatically excluded the original owner and her sister from the scope of civil assistance, resulting in them being unable to enjoy orphan subsidies and unable to receive support from their mother.
Some people would rather be dead than alive.
Therefore, the original owner's resentment towards her biological mother was deeper than the sea, wider than the sky, and more boundless than the stars and the sea.
She and her sister had once sworn that they would never bow to that woman.
But Mingyan is not the original owner after all. She understands the original owner, but cannot empathize with her.
After all, in the face of reality and the future, dignity is not something worth much.
But as soon as she thought this, she felt a piercing pain in her internal organs and limbs, as if her soul was attacked.
