2 Rescue a Small Beast

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Yi's face was red with rage. "You're so useless!"

"You sound as if you're very capable." Chen An rolled his eyes.

The system had seemingly increased his affinity. The Light Cone Fox was kind-hearted by nature, and thus reluctant to harm him.

In that case, he would teach Wang Yi a hard lesson!

Chen An rushed forward speedily, raised his fist, and smashed it toward Wang Yi's head.

Although he did not have a Combat Beast, couldn't he still fight?

Typically, a Beast Tamer had a Combat Beast to assist them in combat. In addition to exerting a high degree of control over their beast, they were also expected to possess advanced combat skills.

Evidently, Wang Yi did not have all of this.

"Chen An, don't go overboard. Stop what you are doing now!" The surrounding people immediately released their respective Combat Beasts and threatened Chen An to stop.

"That hurts! That hurts!" Chen An punched Wang Yi in the abdomen, and the latter rolled on the ground. "Hurry! Send me to the hospital. I can't take the pain anymore."

Chen An immediately lost his interest upon seeing Wang Yi's cowardly look.

[System Prompt: New index unlocked. Light Cone Fox. Integration in progress.]

[Agility +20]

[New skill attained: Light Cone]

Was there such a thing? It seemed that after defeating the beast's master, Chen An would be able to attain the index, as well as the corresponding attributes and skills. In that case, he would be able to gradually become powerful, even though he did not have the Beast Tamer bloodline.

Someone stepped forward to help Wang Yi up, and they prepared to leave.

Wang Yi was crying in pain and holding his abdomen. He yelled that he would seek Chen An for revenge.

Someone stared at Chen An scornfully and kicked the dying, stray beast in the street to him. "What are you?! A person like you is not fit to own anything, even a trashy beast!"

Having said that, the group dispersed.

Chen An looked down and examined the beast's wounds. He could not tell how it originally looked like as its fur was covered in mud and bloodstains. It looked like a worn-out mop that had been thrown on the floor.

Chen An sighed gently. In this place, beasts were very precious. There was a demand even for the most ordinary and low-grade beast. However, to have been reduced to such a miserable state, this beast must be extremely lousy.

"Oo." Its tiny paws were covered in dirt as they fiddled the bottom of Chen An's trousers. It looked very pitiful.

If Chen An were to sit and do nothing, in no time, this beast would definitely die for sure.

Chen An ground his teeth. Forget it, he would save it!

Anyway, he might be able to revive it with the Full Taming System.

He wrapped the small beast with his clothing and brought it home.

"Live on, please don't die."

After saying that, he turned around and rummaged through his storeroom. The eyes of the small beast were already half-closed by now.

"I remember that they are here. Why are there that many sundries? What a hindrance!"

After transmigrating, many memories had been transferred to Chen An.

His parents had been outstanding Beast Tamers. They had been great partners who had developed feelings for each other and then became a loving couple. They had overcome countless obstacles and made many brilliant achievements. They had also accumulated massive wealth.

The items in the storeroom were the beast-taming trophies that they had gained in the past. They were also awards that reflected their past glory.

They were all covered in dust now, piling together with the beast-taming items.

Chen An rummaged for a long time, and at last, he found a small box in the corner of the room. He took great pains to open it. Lying quietly inside the box was a red pearl.

[The Beast Rearing System has been launched.]

[Identifying the item for the host: Medium-grade pill. It has a healing effect after consumption.]

Chen An held the red pearl in his palm. He used the system to identify a few more feeds and then left the place with them.

"Are you alright?"

The small beast was at its last breath, so Chen An immediately used the medium-grade pill. A red beam of light engulfed the small beast, and Chen An could see those gaping wounds healing.

"It seems quite useful." Chen An had not confirmed whether the system was reliable.

After a while, the small dying beast suddenly sprang to life. It could even stand up.

He could finally see its head and limbs now.

Chen An gave it another handful of feed. Famished, the small beast gobbled the food. It seemed it was not enough as the beast held onto Chen An's hands and licked them continuously.

Chen An's palms were itchy. "Are you a dog? Or a cat?"

He could not tell what kind of beast it was.

[The Beast Identifying System has been launched. Identifying…]

Just as Chen An wanted to exclaim that having a system was very convenient, his eyes lit up at the identification results.

Type: Combat Beast

Endowment: Low

Grade: Level 1

Specialty: None

Talent: None

Spirit chamber quantity: 0

Skill chamber quantity: 0

The attributes were inferior, but it was actually a Combat Beast?

"It's so pitiful." Chen An poked its small head. As a Combat Beast, it was that lousy. It was no wonder that it had been abandoned and was wandering in the streets.

He was the only one who was willing to take it in. Fortunately, this little fellow was not picky about food. It ate all kinds of feed. Chen An's parents had left behind a lot of feed, and it was enough to feed it for life. He would take it that he was helping a beggar.

"What should I name you?"

Judging from this beast's looks, it could be a cat or dog species, but it was neither of them on a closer look. Its face was very adorable, though it exuded a trace of fearsome vibe.

Forget it. Beasts were not the same as ordinary pets on Earth. "I might as well name you Dou Buxiang1."

The small beast seemed to like this name very much. It made some small noises and then widened its mouth with a seeming smile.

It seemed quite intelligent. Chen An caressed its head. "Are you happy, Dou Buxiang? Why are you happy? You'll have a hard life if you live with me."

Chen An took another handful of feed and placed it by the mouth of the beast. "Like me, you are depleting your resources. In time, our fortune is going to be used up. You can only lower your living standards and follow me to a place with poorer living conditions."

That was right. Chen An had this plan in mind.

He could live in a wealthy estate, enjoy staying in a big house, and lead a relatively good life because of his deceased parents' inheritance.

However, he only had expenditure and no earnings. He did not have any beasts. In this world, he had no means to make a living and could only tighten his belt. He hoped that the things left behind by his parents could sustain him for a few years.

In this world, families who did not have the Beast Tamer bloodline for many generations were residing in poor estates. They lived alongside trash every day and in an atrocious environment.

"I can't take this lying down," Chen An muttered to himself.

He had transmigrated after much difficulty and enjoyed the wealthy estate left by his parents. He felt indignant about gradually heading to destitution and living in poverty.

He had not forgotten the contemptuous laughter of those people earlier.

However, reality was cruel and heartless.

The difference between a Beast Tamer and an ordinary person was akin to heaven and earth. There was a huge gap in their social standing.

"Well?"

Dou Buxiang was tugging at the hem of his clothing. It had laid out all the feed in a tidy and organized manner.

It was clearly hungry but unwilling to touch the feed. Afterward, it sat beside the feed obediently and stared at Chen An.

"Why aren't you eating?" Chen An ruffled its head. In that instant, he seemed to have understood Dou Buxiang's intention. "Are you telling me to exchange these items for money?"

This might be a good solution!
