Plans to Make Money
Inside Su Miu's home.
After exhausting his Magic Energy, he began recovering it while also chatting and the like by utilizing the connection with his contract item.
Furthermore, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was originally at the Warrior Level, but because Su Miu was currently only at Basic Level One, her realm would be capped at the Servant Level after she was summoned.
It was mainly because a Basic Level One mage like Su Miu simply could not sustain the consumption of a Commander-level Demon Beast.
Because the cultivation of a summoned Contract Beast was tied to his own element, once he reached the Intermediate Level, the other party could appear at the Warrior Level, and if he reached the Advanced Level, she could appear at the Commander Level.
At the same time, in the Douluo Plane, the other party's cultivation could also gain corresponding improvements. To give an example, once Su Miu reached the Forbidden Curse cultivation level later on, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation would also synchronously improve to the Emperor-level.
For example, the Commander Level was comparable to a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and the Commander Level was comparable to a soul beast of over one hundred thousand years. If he waited until he reached the Advanced Level, then the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could be directly upgraded to the corresponding cultivation.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was very special on the Douluo Continent and could not improve her cultivation through other means; ten thousand years of time could only increase her cultivation by ten thousand years, unlike other soul beasts that improved a thousand years of cultivation per hundred years, and ten thousand years of cultivation per ten thousand years.
This was his golden finger, the Summoning System cheat, which could also drive the level progression of his Summoned Beasts.
Not only that, Su Miu also had a Summoning System Victim talent, and the talent effect description was very simple: for every tier he improved, he could obtain one contract quota.
Moreover, if he could communicate with a powerful item and the other party cooperated, he could forcibly summon them across tiers to fight, though the price was somewhat heavy and he might remain weak for a period of time.
"Human! Human! Are you there?"
Just as he was still recovering his Magic Energy, the familiar, crisp girl's voice came over. Hearing it, he interrupted his recovery and asked in puzzlement.
"What's wrong?"
"Human, my uncles and aunts want to see you. They say you're a bad person and untrustworthy."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice came again, conveying the general content. He also understood that it should be those few Ferocious Beasts who did not believe him, since humans and soul beasts were naturally incompatible.
"Auspicious Beast, they can't see me, but I can summon you over. How about I show them?"
Su Miu negotiated with her. Hearing this, the other party fell silent for a moment, and a response soon came back.
"Alright then, hurry up and transport me over. I want to see the world on your side."
"Wait a moment."
He did not dawdle and directly began condensing a Star Orbit. On the other side, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.
A burly man with a head of black hair and a streak of golden fur across his forehead was frowning as he looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in front of him.
Just moments ago, the other party mentioned that a human came from another world and made a contract with her. At first, he did not believe it at all, simply thinking that the Auspicious Beast had been deceived.
However, under the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's insistence, he could only watch quietly. Yet just a few seconds later, an unfamiliar power spread from the golden big cat in front of him.
"Unfamiliar power... This is not Soul Power!"
The black-haired man immediately frowned, but in the next second, a colorless formation flashed and vanished instantly, and the golden big cat's figure disappeared in a flash. The man's expression immediately changed drastically.
"Not good! My Auspicious Beast!"
On the other side.
As the Summoning Array appeared, the little golden lion jumped out of the formation. Her one-and-a-half-meter body appeared somewhat cramped inside the living room.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion curiously looked around at the surrounding scenery and also focused her attention on Su Miu.
"Human, is this the other world?"
"That's right, take a look."
Hearing the questioning, he opened the window, displaying the scene outside. The golden big cat poked her head out, curiously examining the scenery outside.
"This is a world of magic and Demon Beasts. In this world, humans are very weak, and Demon Beasts are incomparably powerful, occupying ninety percent of the planet."
"We don't have Martial Souls here, nor Soul Rings, only magic systems. Look, it's this."
Su Miu introduced the world on this side while demonstrating the process of condensing a Star Orbit. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at this brand-new world, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"A new world... There doesn't seem to be Soul Power here, but a strange force has appeared inside my body..."
The golden big cat discovered that a force seemed to have appeared within her Sea of Consciousness. This force did not belong to Soul Power; it was an entirely new power.
It was something like a little star, with seven little beads revolving around it, and this little stardust could even change color, turning golden for a moment and red for a moment.
"It's Stardust, right? I'll teach you to control Star Seeds and use the power of this world."
Su Miu thought about it for a moment, assuming it was Stardust, and immediately prepared to teach the other party to use the power of the Stardust.
Driven by curiosity, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion very obediently followed the other party's guidance and happily controlled the Star Seeds. Soon, the embryonic form of a Star Orbit appeared, with a single golden Star Seed hovering upon it.
"Yes, just like this. After that, you just need to try and control all seven Star Seeds well."
"Is this the power of this world? Why does it feel so troublesome?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wagged her tail and looked at the scattered Star Orbit in front of her, feeling a general sense of numbness. Back home on the Douluo Continent, she only needed a single thought to use Soul Skills, yet this actually required control?
Moreover, her own strength seemed to have been weakened to the level of a century. After the little Auspicious Beast tried up to the second Star Seed, she lost interest.
"Speaking of humans, are there any fun things in your world? Can you take me around to see them?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion clearly felt that controlling Star Seeds was very boring and did not want to control them anymore, wanting to go play in the human world.
"Hmm... You are in your Demon Beast state right now, so I can't take you to appear in the city. How about this? I'll treat you to some delicious food, and next time I'll take you out of the city to play and see the Demon Beasts of this world, how's that?"
Su Miu started negotiating. The Big Golden Retriever pondered for a moment; it was indeed too dangerous for a soul beast like her to charge into human territory and run amok, but having delicious food to make up for it was just right.
"Alright, then let me experience the delicacies of your human world quickly!"
Speaking of food, he clearly gained interest, and Su Miu also carried out many small snacks from the utility room, such as potato chips, milk, biscuits, and the like, while also ordering other snacks online.
"Human, are there more? I've finished eating."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion finished all the snacks in just a few bites, then crowded closer again to ask if there were any left.
"They're already bought, they'll be delivered in half an hour. How about this, you control the star seeds first, and if you can control up to the third one, I'll buy you some more snacks."
He used snacks to tempt her into controlling star seeds, and this tactic was particularly effective. Under the temptation of snacks, the big golden retriever could only obediently carry out star seed control.
Su Miu also proficiently released the Beginner Magic dimensional summon on the side, striving to achieve a One Thought Star Track, and of course, he still needed to control the Sharing Element star seeds.
The first element of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the Light-Fire Element, and she even came with her own Innate Spirit Seed, Glass Flame. On the neighboring Douluo Continent, this belonged to an Ultimate Attribute, and its enhancement was comparable to a top-grade Spirit Seed with a triple enhancement and carrying a Glass Flame domain.
Of course, this Spirit Seed was still a shared Spirit Seed for both the Light-Fire Element. In other words, whether it was the light element or the fire element, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could reap the blessing effects of the Spirit Seed.
This point was simply fantastic; using one spirit seed as two was truly a huge profit. She was simply a combination of Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Dongfang Lie.
About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Su Miu got up to open the door, and the snacks had arrived.
"The snacks are here, eat your fill."
He walked over carrying three bags of snacks, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up instantly. This human really knew how to act; since he proactively offered tributes of snacks, he had broadened his path.
Su Miu immediately opened the snack bags to feed the golden big cat, and naturally also gained the right to pet the cat.
"Delicious, this tastes much better than the brains of soul beasts with mental attributes and bright attributes."
The big golden retriever ate very happily, while Su Miu petted the cat on the side. The comfortable tactile sensation, resembling fine silk, came from his palm; it seemed she was also quite good at maintaining her fur.
"Eat slowly, I'll cultivate for a bit."
Su Miu motioned for her to eat slowly while he cultivated nearby. The human and the beast appeared quite harmonious.
Su Miu spread out his hands, and a golden star seed transformed into part of a star track. This was his Sharing Element.
After forming a contract with this big golden retriever, his Sharing Element could use the powers of the light element and fire element, and it even came with a spirit seed.
About half an hour later, the big golden retriever was full. Because she had formed a contract with Su Miu, her cultivation level was currently only at the century level.
Therefore, her appetite had also become much smaller. She looked at the human who was cultivating, then poked her head out to look outside the window, seeing many tall buildings coming into view and passing pedestrians hurrying by.
This was her first time seeing such a scene. Mainly because she had never left the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, it was her first time seeing a human city.
Just as the thought of wanting to go out for a stroll arose in her heart, she suddenly felt the world spin and the surrounding scenery instantly blur.
When her vision cleared again, she had already returned to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Auspicious Beast! Are you alright?"
Seeing the Auspicious Beast return, Di Tian immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that the Auspicious Beast was fine, otherwise he would have directly launched a beast tide against Shrek Academy.
Di Tian: Right and wrong, I no longer have the heart to distinguish! Beast tide, initiate!
Shrek Academy: Why are you so selfish!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head, looked around to confirm that she had returned, and replied:
"I'm fine, Uncle Di Tian. I really just went to another world. Look, this is the power of another world."
As the Auspicious Beast spoke, a star track appeared in front of her head, with a star seed rotating on top of it. Di Tian leaned over and looked closely, discovering that it really was the power of another world.
"It really is the power of another world?"
He was startled for a moment, but he also realized the seriousness of the matter. The Auspicious Beast had formed a contract with a human from another world, and if that human wanted to do something to the Auspicious Beast, it would spell trouble.
Immediately, Di Tian summoned all the ferocious beasts for a meeting, and soon the numerous ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest gathered.
Demon Spirits, Zi Ji, and Scarlet King, corresponding to small commander battle prowess with two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand years of cultivation; Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and Myriad Demon King, corresponding to great commanders with four hundred thousand and five hundred thousand years.
Di Tian, corresponding to the advanced stage of the commander level with eight hundred and twenty thousand years, and all the ferocious beasts gathered together.
*(Levels: one hundred to one thousand years is servant level, ten thousand years is a great general, one hundred thousand years is a commander.*
More detailed ones are as follows:
Under twenty thousand years: sub-great general.
Under fifty thousand: small great general.
Under seventy thousand: great general.
Under ninety thousand: Advanced Stage warrior.
Under one hundred and ninety thousand years is a sub-commander, twenty thousand to three hundred and ninety thousand years is a small commander.
*Four hundred thousand to six hundred and ninety thousand years is a great commander, seven hundred thousand to nine hundred and ninety thousand years is an advanced-stage commander level.)*
(Those who start arguing again because of realms are here.)
While Di Tian gathered the ferocious beasts to discuss the contract on the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also introduced the other world.
Regarding this contract, Di Tian wanted to forcibly sever it, but he was afraid of harming the Auspicious Beast, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Um, Uncle Di Tian, the feedback my Eye of Destiny gave me is that that human can help me survive my mortal tribulation."
It was not until the little Auspicious Beast learned that several uncles and aunts were discussing severing the contract that she realized the seriousness of the matter, and she immediately explained.
Hearing this, all the ferocious beasts changed their expressions and temporarily put aside the matter of severing the contract.
Of course, Su Miu did not know what was happening over there; he only knew that because his magic energy was exhausted, the little auspicious beast had been teleported back.
Nighttime
Just as Su Miu was about to sleep, the voice of the auspicious beast sounded in his ear.
"Human, are you there? When are you going to summon me over again?"
"It is very late, go to sleep first... Also, I can only take you to the forest to play, otherwise your beast form appearing in the city will cause a panic."
He was half-asleep, but seeing that it was his own little ancestor, he could only respond patiently.
"Oh... As long as I solve this problem, will you be able to take me out to play?"
"Mhm..."
Su Miu was very sleepy right now. After giving a vague acknowledgment, he collapsed and fell right asleep. Symptoms of drowsiness always appeared after meditation exhausted one's spiritual power, and he was currently in need of sleep to replenish it because his spiritual power was completely spent.
The next day
He got up very early and went to class. After school, he pondered in his heart:
"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion should be quite a bit stronger than the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat and One-Eyed Demon Wolf of the same level. Right now my savings are not much, so I can start considering the matter of making money."
Thinking thus, Su Miu took a taxi straight to the Hunter Hall after school to register a Hunter Qualification Certificate for himself, naturally putting on some disguise of course.
He disguised himself as the Fire Element, and only then did he successfully process the Hunter Qualification Certificate. Once all this was done, he considered skipping class to hunt demonic beasts for money.
I am attending high school, so finding a part-time job because of poverty is very reasonable, right? Right now, my family only has about three hundred thousand in savings, basically all the money I earned through my own methods.
Fortunately, he earned his first pot of gold by writing novels, which allowed him to support himself. Now it was time to strive for his own cultivation resources; three hundred thousand could at most buy a Spirit Seed Fragment.
Immediately, he communicated with his cash cow, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, through the contract.
"Auspicious Beast, Auspicious Beast? Are you there?"
However, after calling out several times in a row, there was not the slightest response. He immediately frowned, finding it strange. Why was this playful big golden retriever not answering him?
Since his lucky cat was ignoring him, his plan to go outside the city to hunt demons could only be put on hold for the time being.
Over the next two months, his lucky cat disappeared as if it didn't exist at all. If he couldn't still sense the connection between them, he would have almost thought that the lucky cat didn't want him anymore.
Two months passed, and his first element, which was the Summoning System, had already reached full cultivation at level one and would soon reach Basic Level Two.
The neighboring Sharing Element had been cultivated very little and was probably only at the mid-stage of Basic Level One, though his star seed control had already reached five stars.
Until today, his lucky cat finally responded to him.
"Human, summon me over and take me out to play!"
PS: I will update twelve thousand words first today. Once the contract is successfully signed, I can start erupting with massive updates.
