"Whoo? Whoo-whoo!"
A small white fox with a glossy, silky fur and three tails on its back angrily roared at a dazed-looking young boy.
The collar around the little fox's neck worked as a translator for the "fox language."
"Why? Why, Vincent, did you sign a contract with another pet beast?!" The translation had a monotone and mechanical tone.
Vincent crouched down, looked at the little fox, opened his mouth slightly as if wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"Ao Ao! Ao Ao Ao!" The little fox turned away its face, seeming dejected.
"I really misjudged you, Vincent! Let's cancel our contract agreement!"
Vincent finally came to his senses, but the next moment, the little fox had already taken out a gorgeous contract and threw it on the ground before leaving without looking back.
He picked up the so-called contract and started reading it.
[Contract Agreement:
Mr. Vincent Wolf and pet beast Flora Gates have both received approval from their parents and fully agreed to sign the contract under their own volition.
Mr. Vincent Wolf will sign a contract with Flora Gates when he opens up the Beast Space.
This serves as evidence, and both parties will sign to validate.
Male party: Vincent Wolf—Male party's handprint: (a palm print)
Pet beast party: Flora Gates—Pet beast party's handprint: (a small plum blossom print)
Male party witness: Dragon Town—Pet beast party witness: Nora Gates
Signed on September 25]
Vincent held the contract with shaking hands.
"I just got teleported to this world right when I was about to get a five-kills streak, and I endured."
"I came to this Beastmaster World and only signed a contract with the lowest-ranked Slime, and I endured."
"But why should I take the fall for my predecessor and suffer the pain of this contract termination?!"
"At least let a person come to cancel the contract, not a fox, what's going on?!"
"You even ran away without giving me a chance to say the line 'don't underestimate a poor youth'!"
Along with Vincent's internal howls, his phone in his pocket rang.
Vincent shivered and took out his phone cautiously.
Sure enough, it showed three shining characters:
[Old Lizard]
Vincent carefully pressed the answer button and then kept his ear away from the phone.
"You damn fat-headed boy, you! Hurry the fuck up and get your ass back here to apologize to Flora Gates! If you don't, today, I'll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of my deceased master!"
Dragon Town's angry roar came after the phone's translation.
Dragon Town, who couldn't say more than two swear words in a year, seemed to have contributed all of this year's and next year's share today. It was unimaginable how furious he was.
No wonder.
The Three-tailed Fox's species level was a High-Level Commander, still having the possibility of further advancement. It was much more advanced than Dragon Town's own Pseudo-Dragon bloodline beast.
And it's even more so many times better than the Slime, which was only a low-grade Transcendent species level that Vincent currently contracted.
Vincent hurriedly hung up the phone. He had urgent matters to deal with now, not going back home to be beaten, let alone apologizing to the fox.
He wouldn't take this blame.
Vincent checked the time. It was already past 9 am. He didn't dare to delay any longer and followed the route from his memory at a fast pace.
Before long, a Mysterious Realm Registration Center named "Water Mysterious Realm" appeared before him.
The Water Mysterious Realm was rich in water attribute resources, with various water attribute pet beasts thriving and reproducing there. Within the realm, even Commander level pet beasts could be found, making entry slots in high demand.
Vincent had been teleported two days ago. Shortly after arriving and briefly digesting his memories, he immediately signed up for this Mysterious Realm slot, not daring to delay.
"The success of my future depends on this trip to the Mysterious Realm!"
Vincent summoned the Slime. A small summoning array appeared in the air, and a pale blue gel-like substance was squeezed out of it, bouncing off the ground as it landed.
Upon the Slime's appearance, a semi-transparent virtual panel appeared in front of Vincent.
[Name]: Slime
[Attribute]: Water
[Species Level]: Low-grade Transcendent
[Growth Level]: Awakening Level 1[Racial Talent]: None
[Skills]: Spitting Water (Entry-level)
[Introduction]: A slime that has entered into a contract through Dimensional Summoning, seemingly no different from an ordinary slime.
This shabby panel represents the slime that was contracted by its previous owner through the Beast-controlling Talent [Dimension Summon].
Dimension Summon allows you to randomly choose a lucky pet beast from countless planes, and it's even possible to contract mythical-level pet beasts, although the odds are like comparing cosmic dust to the universe.
The original owner couldn't resist the temptation of contracting a mythical-level pet beast, so they chose Dimension Summoning, but they ended up contracting a small slime.
Unable to withstand this enormous blow and disparity, the original owner died of heartache and frustration.
So, gamblers never die well.
Vincent Wolf leaned down and picked up this light blue slime, which felt cold, soft, and bouncy, and was quite comfortable to hold.
The slime also narrowed its big eyes in his embrace and gently rubbed against Vincent's chest.
Originally, Vincent had some disdain for this slime, but when he sensed the strong feelings of affection and joy that the slime conveyed to him through the Beast Control Contract, his dissatisfaction dissipated.
"You were selected from the endless planes by the original owner, but you two were fated to meet but not destined to be together. I also came from another world, and as soon as I arrived in this world, I was forced to connect with you. Maybe this is fate."
"I mean, if you were a beautiful girl, I'd sell everything I have—even swindle that cheap old dragon—to raise you!"
Slime is just beginning to gain Spiritual Wisdom and cannot understand complex words, so it just continues to comfortably squint its eyes.
Vincent looked at the Mysterious Realm Registration Center not far away and walked in with Slime.
"Hello, please show your appointment." A sweet-looking girl behind the counter brightened up when she saw Vincent and greeted him with a smile.
"Alright." Vincent handed her the appointment form.
The girl, still smiling, took the appointment form. But as soon as she saw the name on the form, her face turned expressionless and she even displayed some contempt. She stopped talking to him and just went about processing the paperwork.
"Are you Vincent Wolf?" A male student who had just arrived behind him asked in surprise after seeing Vincent's face.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Vincent replied indifferently.
"You're quite famous now. Everyone in Los Angeles's First Beast Master High School knows that you gave up the House Treasure Three-Tailed Fox at the Los Angeles Breeding House, and instead made a contract with a useless, broken slime." The girl interjected indignantly.
Upon hearing this, Vincent's expression suddenly turned serious, staring straight into the girl's eyes, making her feel a little creeped out.
"There is no high or low, noble or humble among people, neither are among pet beasts. They may come from different backgrounds, but their character is equal. You can call me a fool or an idiot; I admit it."
"But when you mention my pet beast, please just call it 'Slime' without any prefix. It may also be weak in the future, but that's definitely not its fault, but my fault as a Beast Master."
After that, Vincent took the Water Mysterious Realm Pass that had already been processed from the girl, who was still in a daze.
"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have belittled Slime." The girl apologized in a low voice.
"It's fine; just be more careful in the future." Vincent felt a little relieved.
"But you are indeed an idiot." The girl still looked down on him.
Vincent pretended not to hear her. After all, it wasn't something he had done, so even if she wanted to scold him, it was as if she was scolding someone else.
There was no helping it. In the eyes of these high school students, the House Treasure of the Los Angeles Breeding House was even more attractive than the school beauties and hunks.
Now, in other people's eyes, Vincent is like a person who was originally dating a wealthy school beauty but ended up betraying his fiancée on the eve of their wedding and ran off with a poor and ugly woman.
Who wouldn't call him a pervert after seeing this situation?
With the girl's operation, a machine slowly started, and a small platform floated out, depicting various intricate patterns and emanating a faint aura of power.
This is a small Secret Realm Teleportation Machine, solidifying the ultra-long-range space transfer ability that only Monarch-level space-type pets can have.
"Please hold the Water Mysterious Realm Pass and step onto the Secret Realm Teleportation Machine."
Vincent, holding Slime, stepped onto the machine.
As the machine operated, Vincent's vision went black, and a dizzying sensation of weightlessness made his stomach churn. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted a few seconds; otherwise, he would have definitely vomited on the spot.
After closing his eyes and adjusting for a moment, Vincent finally opened them again.
Stretching before him was a vast expanse of rivers, lakes, and marshes, littered with crisscrossing man-made bridges. At the end of each bridge was a small island, and Vincent was standing on one of them.
Instead of paying attention to anything else, he was just nervously watching the rows of prompts appearing before his eyes.
