Chapter 8: Is it not the world's problem, but my problem?
"Finally, I can prove it to my sister!"
After admiring the photo on her phone for a while, Clare Franco sent it to her sister.
"You always argue with me, let's see what you have to say now!"
Time: 11:00 AM
[Clare: Sis, I saw an Angel!]
[Mary Hale:?]
[Mary Hale: Did you just wake up?]
[Clare: No! It's a real person!]
[Mary Hale: Okay, I got it.]
[Clare: That's more like it.]
[Clare: Wait, you don't believe me, do you!]
[Mary Hale: (laughing(*￣︶￣)) I believe you, I believe you.]
[Clare: (╬￣皿￣) Damn it, I knew you wouldn't believe me, I will prove it!]
Time: 2:00 PM
[Clare: Stinky older sister, I declare I want to sever our blood relationship, and have our big brother inherit your bloodline!]
[Clare: Picture.JPG]
[Mary Hale:?]
[Mary Hale: Why did you send me a picture of your brother-in-law? You don't have a crush on him, do you? That's not appropriate.]
[Clare:?]
[Clare:?]
[Clare:?]
[Mary Hale: Stop, don't send anymore question marks, I'm just teasing you.]
[Clare: 凸(艹皿艹)]
[Clare: Mary Hale, when I get home, I'll find all the little h-books hidden in your room and show them to mom!]
[Mary Hale: I don't care. I'll buy more.]
[Clare: Including those hidden ones about the love triangle between the Ocean Spirit, Earth Lord, and the Primordial World Tree!]
[Mary Hale:?!]
[Mary Hale: How did you find out!]
[Mary Hale: Good sister! Just this one! Please! That's the globally customized limited-edition luxury supreme version, which I got only after risking my life several times!]
[Mary Hale: Five times the pocket money.]
[Clare: Ten times.]
[Mary Hale: Fine, twenty times! Deal!]
In an unknown Mysterious Realm, towering trees stood straight up, blocking out the sun. The dense shade shielded the rising sun as Mary Hale hid herself, looking anxious.
"This damned brat, she actually found my collection of books and threatened me with it! It seems that when I get home, I must show the dignity of being an elder sister."
"But this handsome guy is indeed good-looking. Hehe, when I get home, I'll Photoshopped this brat out and replace her with myself. Slurp, no, my saliva is about to flow out."
Mary Hale wiped off her saliva and stared at Vincent Wolf's face, feeling more and more familiar as she looked at him.
"Do I know him? No, how can I forget such a good-looking boy?" She thought to herself but couldn't figure out, so she opened her phone gallery and swiped up one by one.
When she was halfway through, she stopped and looked back and forth between the two photos.
"This..."
Mary Hale's expression turned serious as she released her colored glass butterfly.
With a low hum, the colored glass butterfly emerged from the contract array. Its nearly four-meter-long wings spread like exquisite and gorgeous glass, and its figure was dreamy and illusory. It even had a trace of the bloodline of the Blue Phoenix inside, making it a genuine high-level Commander Species.
"It's time to get serious."
The colored glass butterfly sensed its master's mood through the Beast Space and knew that it was time for it to show off its skills.
...
Sitting on the subway, Vincent Wolf sighed a bit.
Indeed, the power of technology was still quite strong. At least ordinary people didn't choose pet beasts for transportation, but subways instead.
The subway's maximum speed was 160 kilometers per hour, which was almost 45 meters per second.
Although Vincent knew that many pet beasts could easily exceed this speed even with low levels, most of them couldn't carry people at high speed. Even if they could, humans couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure caused by such speed.
So, Vincent didn't understand some cultivation novels where society remained in the agricultural era even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Did they underestimate human creativity or human laziness?
Even if there were cultivators controlling things, couldn't they also create some of these technological products?
After thinking about it, Vincent could only attribute it to the fact that the world didn't allow it.
He was bored on the subway, lost in thought, while people around him looked at him with apprehension.
"This guy has hidden himself well, and his eyes aren't focused. He must be thinking about stabbing someone. Better stay away!" People around him thought secretly.
Suddenly, Vincent's gaze sharpened, and those around him felt their hearts tighten.
They saw a man and a woman in the crowded subway, standing back-to-back with odd expressions, and secretly reaching their right hands towards each other's bottoms, both touching each other's buttocks at the same time.
The two quickly retracted their hands, turned to look at each other, and shared an awkward smile.
Then they exchanged contact information.
The subway door opened, and the two walked out arm-in-arm.
Since coming to this world, Vincent had been shocked countless times, but he swore that this event ranked in his top five most shocking experiences.
"Is there something wrong with this world, or is it me?"
"If there's something wrong with the world, and I'm not the problem, doesn't that mean that the person who actually has a problem is me, and the world...there's nothing wrong with it?"
Feeling dizzy, Vincent got off the subway and subconsciously headed towards the Los Angeles Breeding House.
He was initially dissatisfied with his previous self but now filled with gratitude.
"The women of this world are too ferocious. Luckily, you only loved pet beasts and not women. Otherwise, I might have had my waist squeezed dry by now."
"No, if you loved women, the reason for my transmigration wouldn't be dying of excitement, but dying from too much sex."
"Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't I be dying again as soon as I transmigrated here?"
Feeling fearful, Vincent quickly put the terrifying thought out of his mind.
"I must become a man who abides by the moral code and maintains self-discipline in the future. Otherwise, I might die young. That's too scary; I haven't even seen many pet beasts yet!"
Unknowingly, Vincent had already arrived at the entrance of the Los Angeles Breeding House.
The name of the breeding house was [Los Angeles Breeding House], which meant that it was the largest breeding house in the entire city of Los Angeles.
The breeding house covered a wide area, at least hundreds of square kilometers. It encompassed various ecological environments, with one to two hundred species of pet beasts and a total population of hundreds of thousands. Among them, there were a large number of High-Level Commanders and even a few Monarch-Level Pet Beasts.
Stepping through the tall archway, Vincent Wolf skillfully waited for the Breeding House bus.
Since the entire breeding house was too large, and people couldn't cover such a distance on foot alone, the release of pet beasts inside the breeding house was also forbidden to prevent unnecessary panic among the pet beasts. Therefore, several buses were arranged to facilitate people's travel.
After waiting for a short while, a small bus with the [Los Angeles Breeding House] logo drove over. Next to the bus were a few High-Level Extraordinary Wind and Thunder Eagles serving as escorts.
