Someone With Many Secrets

"It signed a Life Contract with me."

"Wuwuwu, Brother Chen, save me!"

Fatty hugged Jiang Chen's waist tightly, afraid that if he let go, he would die.

"Slap!"

Fatty felt a sting on his face.

He froze in shock.

He turned his head and saw the little beast that had just been sleeping. It seemed to use its entire body, its little claws pressing hard against Fatty's round face.

"Brother Chen, save me, I'm being attacked!"

Fatty was timid and felt something was wrong. If it threatened his life, his first thought was to find Jiang Chen for help.

If this counted as an attack, then it was too gentle.

Jiang Chen said slowly, "Fatty, this is your Contract Beast. It can't hurt you."

"But it's dying!"

"I can't take it anymore!"

The little beast on Fatty's shoulder jumped up and landed on Fatty's head.

"I've met idiots, but I've never met one as idiotic as you."

"I've met people with weak abilities, but never one as weak as you."

"I've met cowards, but never one as cowardly as you."

"And the worst part is, this person is my host."

"Oh my god, I'm going to become a Buddha. What kind of sin did I commit!"

Hearing the little beast speak, Fatty was stunned.

"You can talk?"

"Don't measure the wisdom of a Divine Beast with your own intelligence."

As it spoke, the little beast proudly raised its head.

Fatty was completely dumbfounded by the words "Divine Beast."

His Supernatural Ability was summoning-type.

Leaning towards the Summoner class.

His family had been Summoners for generations, but only he had contracted an egg whose quality and level were indistinguishable.

For this, he was ridiculed by his peers.

They called him a rare talentless loser.

They said he wasn't his parents' child, as both his parents were the empire's most outstanding Summoners, yet his ability was a useless egg.

Fatty had heard all sorts of nasty things since he was a child.

He had been angry, sad, and upset, but in the end, he chose to accept his fate.

He thought he would live an ordinary life, never continuing his parents' legend.

But now, he had discovered a huge secret.

The egg he summoned was not an egg of no quality at all, but a rare Divine Beast Egg from the past ten thousand years.

Was this true? Was this little guy a Divine Beast...

"You naturally possess a Divine Beast Bloodline, so summoning a high-quality Divine Beast shouldn't be difficult. Unfortunately, your innate bloodline power was sealed."

"Therefore, although you have the ability to summon a Divine Beast, you lack the strength to summon one, and can only summon me in my dormant state."

As if sensing Fatty's thoughts, the Divine Beast reluctantly explained.

When it spoke, everything around them fell silent.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the summoned beast that could speak human language.

When it called itself a Divine Beast.

The surrounding people were so surprised they forgot to breathe.

They had never imagined that Fatty, whom they had always considered a notorious loser in the entire school, actually possessed the ability to summon a Divine Beast.

My god, this was a Divine Beast, a Divine Beast rarely seen in ten thousand years.

And it had become the Contract Beast of a loser.

This was too enviable, jealous, and hateful.

The Divine Beast naturally paid no attention to the thoughts of those around it.

Fatty didn't know either.

He had long stopped caring about what others thought.

However, now that Fatty, who had been living like a parasite, knew he wasn't a good-for-nothing, his emotions were incredibly complex.

He still remembered the Beast Taming Art his family had taught him since he was young.

He tried to communicate with the Divine Beast, saying, "Hello, you're my partner from now on. You can call me Fatty."

The Divine Beast looked at Fatty strangely. Over the years, all contractors had demanded their Contract Beasts call them master.

This was true even for contracting Divine Beasts.

Why did this chubby, simple guy not want to be called master, but Fatty instead?

"You don't want me to respectfully call you master?"

The Divine Beast asked, confused.

"No need. My friends all like calling me Fatty. I'm used to it."

"You... consider me a friend?"

The Divine Beast asked uncertainly.

"From now on, we'll fight side-by-side, share life and death. Aren't we friends?"

"Brother Chen said only true friends can share life and death."

Fatty replied naturally.

He had been mocked as a good-for-nothing for many years, and his heart had long become as calm as still water.

Yet, he was exceptionally attached to the word "friend."

Only friends wouldn't look down on his uselessness and would protect him with everything they had.

"Okay, we're friends from now on. My name is Bai Ze!"

Bai Ze thought for a moment before replying.

After their communication was complete, Fatty strutted over to Zhang Banxian and said, "Zhang Banxian, this is my Contract Beast, Bai Ze. It's a Divine Beast, you know."

"What's so great about that? When my Cultivation Method is perfected, I'll contract one too."

Zhang Banxian said stubbornly.

"Alright, then we'll compare then. Let's see whose Divine Beast is more powerful."

Fatty chuckled.

"Brother Chen, this is Bai Ze, my contracted Divine Beast."

Fatty then walked up to Jiang Chen like he was showing off a treasure and said to Bai Ze, "Say hello to Brother Chen!"

Bai Ze turned its head away in strong resistance.

It was a Divine Beast, for goodness sake. It had its pride.

Asking it to greet a human? Dream on!

"Bai Ze, this is my Brother Chen. You can't be rude to him, understand?"

Fatty warned Bai Ze.

Bai Ze rolled its eyes.

It was clearly not impressed.

Jiang Chen, however, didn't mind.

As a friend, he was happier than anyone that Fatty could awaken a Supernatural Ability.

It was just a shame he didn't have anything good to give Fatty as a gift for contracting a Divine Beast.

"Ding, congratulations Host for completing the 'Save Someone' mission. You have received a special drop: one Beast King Pill, one intermediate medicinal formula."

Save someone?

Did that refer to him saving his classmates trapped in the collapsed building just now?

He had been worried about Fatty at the time and hadn't noticed the system's notification.

He hadn't expected to complete a system mission by accident.

However, he couldn't use the Beast King Pill.

He didn't have a Contract Beast himself.

Fatty might need it.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen took out the Beast King Pill from his system inventory and handed it to Fatty, saying, "Consider this my congratulatory gift to you for contracting a Divine Beast."

Fatty naturally refused. He said, "Brother Chen, if we're talking about this between us, it's too formal."

"I want it, I want it!"

Bai Ze seemed to smell something from the medicine box and looked at Jiang Chen with shock.

Who is this person next to Fatty? They can actually produce a top-tier Beast King Pill.

In the human world, such an item is already a rare and top-tier treasure.

As long as he took it, he could at least advance three levels.

Facing something that could improve his own strength, Bai Ze naturally wouldn't give it up.

It eagerly expressed its thoughts.

"Since the little guy likes it, I'll give it to him!"

Jiang Chen handed the medicine box containing the Beast King Pill to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze snatched it up and returned to its Spirit Pet Space, preparing to consume and digest it.

"How can you be so shameless!"
