[Pet: Little Azure Python]

[Gender: Female]

[Level: 5]

[Level Cap: 50]

[Type: Combat Pet]

[Bloodline Rank: Second-tier Common Beast]

[Attributes: Strength 10; Constitution 10; Intelligence 10; Agility 10]

[Note: A common azure python found in the forest, non-venomous, its combat method is to strangle enemies with its body.]

[Price: 1000 gold coins]

...

Based on the appraisal information, this is a common beast that no one would choose, and it would likely end up being sold to a slaughterhouse by the pet shop.

A common beast, as the name implies, is just an ordinary animal.

Pets that can't be sold will not be released by the shop owner out of kindness but will be sold to slaughterhouses at a low price.

In this job-transitioning world, ordinary livestock like chickens, ducks, and fish are no longer in demand.

High-end hotels and upscale restaurants sell meat from beasts that are at least fifth-tier or higher.

They even sell meat from magical beasts.

Of course...

After years of development, various livestock industries have also flourished, and many major breeders have chosen to raise high-tier common beasts and magical beasts.

These are expensive, highly profitable, and easy to sell.

However, no Beastmaster would choose to contract with a magical beast from a breeding farm.

Magical beasts from breeding farms have long lost their combat abilities, becoming tame and timid.

Naturally, pets captured from the wild are more suitable as combat companions.

If Wang Chen hadn't come here, this Little Azure Python would have ended up dying in a slaughterhouse.

The reason Wang Chen took an interest in this Little Azure Python is that it gave him a huge surprise!

[Pet: Little Azure Python]

[Detected the hidden bloodline of the World-Destroying Azure Dragon within this pet!]

[Final Appraisal Result: Universe-level Divine Beast!]

A Divine Beast!

And a Universe-level one at that!

My god!

This is a real treasure!

The Little Azure Python, whose body could almost be described as slender and graceful, also raised its small head, flicking its tongue and curiously gazing at this human.

For some reason...

Other pets would get furious and hiss or roar when stared at by humans.

But this Little Azure Python tilted its head and quietly looked at Wang Chen without any sign of agitation.

Wang Chen directly picked up the Little Azure Python's cage. This is it!

Even when the cage was picked up, the Little Azure Python remained calm, still tilting its head and looking at Wang Chen with its big, adorable eyes.

"Wait, buddy, you don't plan to buy this Little Azure Python as your pet, do you?"

At this moment, a boy next to Wang Chen saw him picking up the Little Azure Python's cage and couldn't help but speak up.

Around them, other peers who were choosing pets also took notice.

Wang Chen didn't care and nodded, "Yes, why?"

"Oh my, you still ask why..."

"Buddy, didn't you see the bloodline rank of this Little Azure Python?"

"If you contract with this creature, forget about the job-transition exam, I'm afraid you won't even survive the outskirts of the Black Moon Mountain Range!"

"Better look at other pets..."

The boy kindly advised.

The Black Moon Mountain Range.

A training ground for newbie job-transitioners.

The monsters there have low levels, between 5 and 15, and are generally mild-mannered and weak, making it an ideal place for newbies to practice and level up.

After the boy's advice, other Beastmasters around them also chimed in.

"Yeah, honestly, I've eaten Little Azure Python in a restaurant before. I feel this pet is only good for eating, not for fighting."

"Indeed, its growth limit is only 50, and it's just a second-tier common beast. Which monster can it fight?"

"Brother, listen to our advice, put down that Little Azure Python and choose another pet..."

The Little Azure Python in the cage, seeing these humans pointing at it with disdain, lowered its head dejectedly.

Although it couldn't understand their words, it could feel the contempt, scorn, and disdainful emotions.

Wang Chen, hearing everyone's advice, knew they were well-meaning.

And...

Under normal circumstances, what they said was true!

But the problem is...

Wang Chen is not under normal circumstances.

"Thank you all for your advice!"

"But I've made up my mind. I'll take this Little Azure Python."

"Goodbye."

After speaking, without any hesitation, he picked up the pet cage and left, taking the elevator to the first-floor counter to pay.

The peers around him saw that this guy didn't listen to their advice and shook their heads.

Some even showed schadenfreude.

"Haha, at this level, a Beastmaster can only contract one pet. If he really contracts with that useless Azure Python, his job-transition exam is totally ruined!"

"I bet he won't even get into a third-rate job-transition school!"

"He should just go straight to work in a factory..."

...

Wang Chen went to the counter to pay, swiping a thousand gold coins, and bought this Little Azure Python, which everyone else looked down on.

After leaving the pet shop, the Little Azure Python's mood improved significantly. It no longer kept its head down but curiously observed the unfamiliar surroundings.

Passersby who saw Wang Chen carrying the Little Azure Python paid little attention, thinking he bought it to cook and eat.

Some food enthusiasts even gave Wang Chen a thumbs up.

"Young man, you have good taste!"

Wang Chen ignored them and went straight back to his shabby, old home.

Like all online novel protagonists, after crossing into this job-transitioning world, he immediately triggered the "isolated and helpless" trope.

Both parents were dead, and as an only child, he was left with this dilapidated house with peeling walls.

Speaking of the original owner of this body, he was quite miserable.

Having lost his parents at a young age, he had to stay with his second uncle's family.

His second aunt disliked him, often beating and scolding him.

Later, he was sent to his third uncle's family.

There, he was still seen as a burden, often beaten and scolded.

Finally, unable to bear it, he used the money he saved from picking up scraps to buy a bottle of pesticide and ended his painful life.

This gave Wang Chen, who died from overwork on Earth, a chance to reincarnate.

Having died once, Wang Chen would never put up with his uncles' bullying.

He returned to the old house and lived alone.

He shamelessly borrowed five hundred gold coins from his current homeroom teacher, Ji Yutong, to survive for a month.

Later, with his excellent grades, he applied for an eight hundred gold coin scholarship per month.

After that, he worked hard as a waiter in a small restaurant. The owner, seeing his pitiful situation, allowed him to work after school and paid him three hundred gold coins a month.

This is how Wang Chen managed to live steadily for three years until now.
