Background / History

Chen Wei is a transmigrator whose memories of his previous life—where he worked as a zookeeper—awakened a year before the story begins. In his new life on Blue Star, he lives alone in Room 403 of a rundown apartment building after leaving an orphanage at sixteen. His parents died twelve years earlier during a king-tier beast tide disaster. 1 2

Although his homeroom teacher, Zhou Yuande, recommends a professional appraisal career after Chen Wei awakens an Appraisal Talent, Chen Wei instead pursues the path of a professional Beast Tamer and ultimately hopes to become a dragon tamer. He uses his inheritance, state-provided housing, and pension to fund that ambition. 1

Before contracting a pet beast, Chen Wei supports himself in part by fishing Redtail Goldfish at Boss Lin’s reservoir. He keeps one fish, Little Gold, to test his hidden Dragon Taming Power and discovers that it can accelerate a pet beast’s development. 1 3

At Water Mountain Breeding Base, Chen Wei contracts a Cold Jade Snake that other Beast Taming Apprentices struggle to contract. He names her Color Spirit, and the contract drives his Source Star from the first rank to the second. 5 6

Color Spirit’s unexpectedly high cost leaves Chen Wei with a large loan and limited funds for her care. He begins seeking part-time work, eventually joining Ragdoll Mall as an appraiser of Titanium Crystal Ragdolls. 7 14

Personality

Chen Wei is calm, patient, and observant. He is comfortable spending long periods fishing, carefully recording the effects of Dragon Power, and studying his talents rather than relying only on intuition. 1 12 19

He is ambitious but avoids becoming complacent. Although he imagines competing for Water Mountain City’s top score and intends to attend one of the Five Universities, he repeatedly prioritizes Color Spirit’s long-term foundation over rapid advancement. 6 29 30

Chen Wei is reserved around attention and can become socially uncomfortable when surrounded by classmates or placed under exaggerated public praise. In battle, however, he remains composed, decisive, and tactically focused. 8 43 44

He is deeply responsible toward his pet beasts. He takes on appraisal work to afford Color Spirit’s care, teaches her human habits, trains with her daily, and feels guilty when his own exhaustion prevents him from fulfilling promised enhancement sessions. 7 18 20

Abilities & Skills

Appraisal Talent

Chen Wei can perceive detailed information about pet beasts, including their attributes, racial grade, skills, strength, potential, and source-power inclinations.

• Identifies the traits of Redtail Goldfish, the Cold Jade Snake, Flying Cloud Eagle, Titanium Crystal Ragdolls, and other pet beasts. 1 5 8 13
• Accurately assesses a Titanium Crystal Ragdoll’s crystal and fire affinities, impressing Liu Muning with a result close to that of the Liu Family’s master-level appraiser. 14
• Uses appraisal professionally at Ragdoll Mall, earning commission for each completed Titanium Crystal Ragdoll appraisal. 14 24
• Avoids openly revealing the full extent of his abilities and deliberately leaves discrepancies in some appraisal results. 14

Dragon Taming Power

Chen Wei’s second innate talent grants affinity with dragon-type creatures and improves his interactions with pet beasts.

• Makes even fierce or savage exotic beasts more likely to approach him rather than attack. 2
• Raises a pet beast’s affection and trust through Dragon Power. 2
• Strengthens pet beasts directly through repeated Dragon Power sessions; Color Spirit’s rapid juvenile-stage growth is closely tied to these enhancements. 12 18
• Has limited stamina and mental endurance; excessive use while creating Dragon Crystals causes exhaustion, unconsciousness, and spiritual-power damage. 18 20
• Chen Wei suspects the power may conflict with his Appraisal Talent as his Source Star advances. 21

Dragon Crystal Creation

Chen Wei can condense Dragon Crystals using Dragon Taming Power and his own blood and stamina.

• Strengthens a basic Dragon Crystal into an Intermediate Dragon Crystal, capable of moderately evolving an extraordinary creature’s bloodline and possibly awakening a random dragon-type skill. 2
• Produces lower-grade Dragon Crystals for future pet beasts and initially intends to use an intermediate crystal to evolve Color Spirit after her juvenile stage. 11 18 29
• Can create multiple crystals in succession, though doing so drains his stamina completely. 19
• Delays using a Dragon Crystal on Color Spirit because he does not want to sacrifice her juvenile-stage skill development for premature advancement. 29

Beast Taming and Battle Command

Chen Wei commands Color Spirit through their Beast Taming Contract, allowing rapid thought-based communication and coordinated tactics.

• Exploits enemy weaknesses, such as grounding Wang Hongshuo’s Flying Cloud Eagle with Telekinesis before freezing its wing with Cold Breath. 8 9
• Uses knowledge gained from appraisal to counter Liu Muning’s Titanium Crystal Ragdoll, recognizing its lack of long-range attacks. 16
• Defeats opponents including Guo Cheng, Ning Yi, Meng Haoge, Hang Lezhi, and Yu Xiumin in pet beast battles. 28 29 41 42 44
• Wins ten consecutive matches in the Apprentice Arena Champion Challenge and receives entry qualification for the Southshore Mountain Secret Realm. 44

Alchemy

Chen Wei studies alchemy under Liu Muning’s guidance and begins refining basic medicinal powders.

• Receives an alchemy handbook and studies the need for a fire-element pet beast in future pill refining. 34 35
• Successfully refines Vitality Powder and Energy Recovery Powder, with fifteen successful batches out of nineteen attempts. 37 39
• Focuses his Source Star meditation on mental strength because of its importance to alchemy. 35

Equipment / Items

• Star Ring — Stores and summons Color Spirit. 6
• Ice Demon Scorpion magic core — A top-tier elite, level-four resource inherited from his father; improves meditation efficiency when placed nearby during cultivation. 2
• Dragon Crystals — Crystals created and enhanced through Dragon Taming Power for pet-beast strengthening and future evolution. 2 19
• Source energy detection glasses — Offered by Liu Muning as a potential battle prize, though Chen Wei wins the battle instead. 15 16
• Alchemy handbook — Given by Liu Muning to test his pill-refining aptitude. 34 35

Relationships

• Color Spirit — His first contracted pet beast and closest partner. Chen Wei trains, feeds, protects, and enhances her, while Color Spirit grows increasingly attached to him despite her tsundere behavior. 5 7 18 19
• Little Gold — A Redtail Goldfish Chen Wei keeps as an early test subject for Dragon Power; its growth is much slower than Color Spirit’s. 3 12 46
• Huang Zhicheng — Chen Wei’s deskmate and friend. They discuss contracts, train their pet beasts, and support one another despite Huang’s occasional envy. 3 9 22
• Liu Muning — President of Ragdoll Mall, Chen Wei’s employer, battle opponent, and prospective alchemy mentor. She repeatedly attempts to recruit or sponsor him, then wagers that she will accept him as a disciple if he wins the Ragdoll Cup. 14 16 25 34
• Gu Yun — Liu Muning’s secretary who manages Chen Wei’s work procedures at Ragdoll Mall; she is wary of the special attention Liu Muning gives him. 17 24
• Ning Yi — A senior Beast Tamer and sparring partner. After losing to Chen Wei, she offers practical advice and introduces him to Starlight Dojo. 29 31
• Yu Xiumin — A Beastmaster Class One student from Water Mountain First High School. She encourages Chen Wei during his Cold Jade Snake contract attempt, later loses to him in the arena, and enters the Southshore Mountain Secret Realm with him. 4 5 44 50
• Du Zhou — A physician who diagnoses Chen Wei’s spiritual-power damage and provides Spring Return Pills and recovery advice. 20
