Chapter 544 - 536: Brother and Younger Brother
A few hours earlier.
Xi Pingzhe excitedly held the car keys given to him by Qian Qi, watching the hovercar approach from afar in the sky. He respectfully bowed in the direction of the hovercar.
"Thank you, Master, for the Contracted Beast boss! You’ve worked hard!"
The system carrying the hovercar from afar: ...
What a polite kid, unlike someone else who treats me recklessly, purebred or hybrid, it’s all the same^^
Xi Pingzhe held the car keys, opened the hovercar door, and out rolled a trembling silver-haired wolf pup on all fours.
Xi Pingzhe swiftly caught it.
"Awoo—Ugh!"
The little wolf opened its mouth, and multicolored vomit suddenly covered Xi Pingzhe.
The system innocently whistled silently.
If it had known Xi Pingzhe was so polite, it wouldn’t have deliberately "sped," making the wolf pup carsick.
The wolf pup realized it had vomited all over Xi Pingzhe and looked at him nervously. Unexpectedly, Xi Pingzhe didn’t get angry but instead worriedly rubbed its stomach, "Why did you throw up? Are you feeling unwell?"
The little wolf blinked, thinking this human seemed pretty nice.
He also carried the scent of Qian Qi, so he should be a trustworthy human.
Just as man and wolf were gazing affectionately at each other, the system interrupted their deep bond. It nudged Xi Pingzhe, the meaning clear: hurry up and form the contract, it had other things to do and couldn’t accompany them.
Xi Pingzhe quickly released the Contract Pattern towards the little wolf. The little wolf looked at his A-level Contract Pattern with satisfaction, and after a moment of pride, it raised its forepaw and signed the contract with Xi Pingzhe.
Once the matter was settled and it could report back, the system left to find Qian Qi.
Meanwhile, Xi Pingzhe began bonding with the little wolf, studying its Magic Beast Skills.
Qian Qi, as a master, was rather laissez-faire, only sending A-level Contracted Beasts and Evolution Materials to her apprentice. She never mentioned how to train the Contracted Beast or which skills could be combined for attacks, leaving Xi Pingzhe to figure it out on his own.
But Xi Pingzhe had no complaints.
Because he believed Qian Qi purposefully didn’t tell him in order to challenge him, allowing him to become self-reliant!
"Through sharpening, the sword gleams bright," the master had her reasons for her efforts!
In the military camp, Xi Pingzhe patiently trained the little wolf. After a few hours, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the little wolf given by Qian Qi was actually a Flying Magical Beast. Furthermore, it could transform into a big wolf form, taking him up into the sky!
Though young and not yet rivaling true A-level Magical Beasts in power, given time, Flying Little Wolf would surely become a coveted Contracted Beast among Beast Masters!
"Come! Let’s take to the sky for a look!"
Back when entering the A-level dungeon with Qian Qi, she gave him the dungeon boss reward, allowing him to inherit the A-level Eagle Eye Skill’s strategy reward. So now, Xi Pingzhe planned to ride Flying Little Wolf to the sky, honing his Eagle Eye Skill and mutual understanding with Flying Little Wolf.
He needed to grow quickly to fight alongside Qian Qi!
Flying Little Wolf let out an "awoo~," lowered its wolf body, and flew into the sky with Xi Pingzhe.
In the night, the silver fur glowed under the moonlight, resembling a meteor streaking across the sky, extremely beautiful.
Xi Pingzhe unleashed his Eagle Eye Skill, and instantly, every tiny creature within several miles was visible, from the cats hiding among the ruins in the city, the small movements of insects on branches, to birds landing on rooftops...
Xi Pingzhe even saw Qian Qi and Su Ang walking out of a mall, the couple in matching outfits holding hands, both exceptionally well-matched in appearance and aura.
He couldn’t help but roll his eyes and, with contractor awareness, whispered to Flying Little Wolf, "See that silver-haired guy? The smelly man who snatched my master away, if you see this kind of silver hair in the future, spit on him from the sky!"
Flying Little Wolf answered with consciousness, "Contractor, I’m also silver-haired."
"How can that be the same?" Xi Pingzhe stroked its fur, his face showing an expression identical to Qian Qi’s PUA look, "You’re a good silver-hair, he’s a bad silver-hair. You’re a wolf with a human heart; he’s a human with a wolf heart."
Flying Little Wolf looked at his indecent expression: ... The wolf does not understand, but the wolf chooses to respect.
Xi Pingzhe’s gaze returned to Qian Qi and Su Ang, noticing the load Su Ang was carrying. Suddenly remembering something, he raised his wrist Light Brain and called his brother Xi Ye.
"Bro!" As the call connected, Xi Pingzhe immediately shouted, "Send me some money!"
The master had been running around for him, from Awakened Skills to Contracted Beasts, he couldn’t be so clueless!
"Asking me for money? Why don’t you ask Grandpa?" Xi Ye was somewhat surprised. Xi Pingzhe had never wanted to trouble his idolized older brother before, so why the sudden change?
"Grandpa’s out of money." Xi Pingzhe muttered, "Said he needs to buy some stuff, but won’t tell me what."
Xi Ye thought for a moment. Su Xingchen had secretly spent a lot of money stockpiling Magic Plant Materials, for reasons unclear, but it seemed the Awakener University might also be involved.
"How much do you need?" Xi Ye asked.
"Like four billion." Xi Pingzhe naturally replied.
Xi Ye spat out his drink, shocked, "How much? What do you need that much money for? Owing to loan sharks?"
This brat didn’t seem to understand the value of money! Four billion is equivalent to eight years of his regular officer’s salary!
"My master helped me contract an A-level Flying Wolf Beast." Xi Pingzhe didn’t understand the big reaction and explained, "I need to pay my master some hard work fees, can’t let her efforts go uncompensated, otherwise what kind of person would I be!"
"Can you even manage it?" Seeing Xi Ye’s face as if he was near death, Xi Pingzhe relented, "I’m borrowing from you, didn’t mom leave me a billion in educational funds? Just deduct it from that."
"Never mind, don’t need that." Xi Ye wiped his face and directly transferred the funds to Xi Pingzhe.
His brother had contracted an A-level Magical Beast, and as an elder brother, he was naturally delighted. Xi Ye was eager to throw a banquet to announce his brother’s excellence to the world.
It wasn’t just about eight years of income. As long as his brother grew up safely, he’d give him everything he had.
"You always liked doing rescue missions on the battlefield, with an A-level Contracted Beast by your side, I can have more peace of mind." Xi Ye looked at his brother across the Light Brain; his brother, once decided on something, was as stubborn as an ox against ten Magical Beasts. He and Grandpa were always worried, fearing something might happen to him.
"Since Qian Qi is with you, stay with her and don’t wander around..." Xi Ye was about to advise some more when suddenly, he saw through the Light Brain that the sky behind his brother burst with white light, illuminating the entire city like daylight.
Then, a ferocious black tiger beast with gold patterns appeared behind Xi Pingzhe, its massive mouth opening like a bottomless abyss, lunging towards Xi Pingzhe!
"Little Zhe—!"
