Luo Yu brought Qin Tie to the research institute.
By this time, the bureau chief had returned, and he moved very quickly, so it seems that the Sand Sculpture Dragon's flying skills are still sufficient on the island.
"Yu Lei..." Qin Tie was somewhat surprised to see Yu Lei there as well.
"Qin Tie, it was before the celebration, wasn't it? How have you been lately?" Yu Lei said with a smile. He personally invited these special Beast Taming during the celebration.
"It's all right, thank you for your concern, Director." Qin Tie said, "So, regarding my treatment..."
Yu Lei shook his head. "It has nothing to do with me. The medical pets were researched by Scholar Luo Yu. I just gave him a list. He felt it was a pity about you and planned to try treating you first."
"There's a good chance this time. You might actually recover. Let's go see the pet that will be responsible for your treatment."
"Thanks." Qin Tie wasn't good with words, but he didn't dare to have too high expectations, because he had tried treatments like this far too many times in the past 10 years.
The medical Ink Fish... Although it is highly regarded on the island, it is still just Low-Rank Ordinary Species. At present, it can only quickly treat some external injuries, but his injury is a mental injury in his head, and it is a long-standing injury.
Even if the island makes new progress in medical research on Ink Fish, how can it compare to the medical level of the Azure Billows Continent...?
The three of them headed together to the underground ice cave, arriving at the location of the Healing Water Devil Beast. "This..."
Qin Tie stood outside the ice prison, looking at the enormous octopus he had never seen before, and was shocked.
"Is this the pet that's responsible for treating me?"
It looks like an Ink Fish magnified countless times... but the pressure it exerts is far more ferocious.
This feeling...
"Monarch Level!" he blurted out, inwardly shocked.
"What kind of mutated beast is this?!"
"You've probably heard of the evolved form of Ink Fish, Water Devil Beast, right? Ink Fish has evolutionary potential, and Water Devil Beast is its Monarch Level evolved form." Yu Wan stepped out from the shadows behind Heal Water Devil Beast.
"Secretary Yu Wan..." Qin Tie said, "Wait a minute, could it be that the newly researched medical pet that Scholar Luo Yu mentioned, the Medical Ink Fish, has evolved?"
"Monarch Level medical pet!" His mind went blank.
Luo Yu researched and developed the Medical Ink Fish and the Honey Water Bee, two Low-Rank Ordinary Species pet beasts. In fact, in the eyes of the Beast Taming on Mirror Moon Island, they were already very powerful, practically the chosen ones.
After all, Mirror Moon Island is just a small island, and for a 15-year-old orphan to research these things is already invincible. But compared to the Monarch Level evolved form, these two achievements are nothing. The Monarch Level is something that Qin Tie wouldn't even dare to dream of, even at the height of his success.
Having personally fought against the King-level zombies, he understood the terror of the Monarch Level beings better than many Beast Taming tamers.
"Let's try treatment first," Luo Yu said. At Yu Wan's instruction, the Healing Water Devil Beast released a bubble.
"Okay..." Qin Tie awkwardly entered the bubble, and then his expression kept changing.
"How is it?" Yu Lei asked.
"It works..."
"It seems like the numerous holes in the Mental Contract are slowly being repaired... My head is so itchy."
Qin Tie was overjoyed; it actually worked!
His eyes reddened, and through the bubble, he looked at Luo Yu, who was wearing a research lab coat.
My heart was in turmoil; I saw hope in becoming Beast Taming tamer again.
A moment later.
Snap. The bubble burst. After he came out, he immediately wanted to give Luo Yu a deep bow, but Luo Yu stopped him.
"Scholar Luo Yu..."
Luo Yu smiled and said, "It's good that it's useful. You deserve it."
"Senior Qin Tie, I'd like to ask you, what are your plans after becoming Beast Taming again?"
Qin Tie was taken aback, then said, "Not for now..."
Luo Yu said, "Actually, Yu Lei and I have an idea."
"We plan to find a group of people like you who have made significant contributions to Mirror Moon Island but are no longer able to become Beast Taming due to injuries or illnesses. We will treat you, then help you become Beast Taming again, and finally form a force to guard Mirror Moon Island."
"Moreover, unlike joining a regular fleet, this is a military-like unit with rigorous training and sea missions. Your personal time will be severely compressed until retirement. I don't know if you can accept that."
"Of course, in addition to helping you with your rehabilitation, the island will also be responsible for assigning you new pets, and the costs of raising those pets will also be covered by the island as military expenses. You won't need to spend any money on raising them yourself."
"If such a mechanism existed, I wonder if you would be willing to defend Mirror Moon Island once again."
Qin Tie was taken aback and said, "The island not only provides medical treatment for injuries, but also assigns pets, and you don't have to spend your own money to raise them? You just need to focus on training and carrying out missions, isn't that a good thing?"
So that's what Qian was dealing with. And he even had to raise the pets himself.
He's wasted ten years already, and the island is still willing to reuse him; what other options do they have?
"I'm willing to join this force. From today onwards, my life belongs to Mirror Moon Island. However, could I make a small request? I'd like to contract Wave Dog as my pet. I feel that Wave Dog are no worse than Mid-Rank Species; they're intelligent, Loyalty, and I have unique insights into raising Wave Dog. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to raise Wave Dog to over level 30..."
The Wave Dog was his first pet.
"That might be difficult," the Yu Lei said, shaking his head.
"Is that not possible...? No problem, I'll follow orders." Qin Tie said with a hint of regret.
"Well, although you have a strong attachment to the Wave Dog, Wave Dog potential is still a bit low. After the contract is formed, there's no hope of it breaking through to the King Level. The island plans to assign you a Lower Monarch Species, hoping that after you recover, you can still cultivate towards the King Level and strive to become Mirror Moon Island's new King Level Beast Taming Tamer as soon as possible."
Forehead...
Qin Tie was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard something.
Did someone just say that they should assign him a Monarch Species?
He must have misheard... How could he not understand things like "Monarch Species" and "allocation"? He recognizes each word individually, but when put together, he doesn't understand.
"Let's go, next we'll go see the Monarch Species the island has prepared for you." As soon as Luo Yu finished speaking, Qin Tie, who had always stood straight, suddenly felt his legs go weak and almost collapsed to the ground, staring at the three of them in disbelief. "You heard me right, we're going to assign Monarch Species," Yu Lei repeated.
Qin Tie opened his mouth wide.
His first instinct was to ask: Who should I kill?
"Thanks to scholar Luo Yu, who has researched a stable evolutionary path for the Monarch Species, from today onwards, our Mirror Moon Island will also learn from Golden Island and form a monarch legion. You will be the number one soldier."
"I... I didn't hear wrong, did I?" Qin Tie's face was flushed red, he was extremely excited.
Is this still Mirror Moon Island?
What day is it today? Is he dreaming? Not only are his injuries being healed, but he's also able to form a contract with Monarch Species?
He had never dared to dream of such a thing before; he only dared to dream of one person alone.
"Of course, the Monarch Species is only allocated; it doesn't completely belong to you yet." Luo Yu smiled slightly and said, "Work for 15 years and then retire. I hope you can persevere. On the day of your retirement, that Water Devil Beast will be completely yours."
Qin Tie, panting, said solemnly, "From today onwards, my life belongs to you, Scholar Luo Yu. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Yu Lei:?
Didn't you just say your life belonged to Mirror Moon Island? How did it suddenly become Luo Yu's?!
The location of the virus Bane Water Devil Beast.
Yu Wan brought out her Bane Water Devil Beast. Looking at this equally imposing Water Devil Beast, Qin Tie's heart pounded.
Is this... the Monarch Species he's about to contract with?
"This Water Devil Beast Water Devil Beast actually a bit different from the previous one. The previous one's ability was healing, but this one doesn't possess healing power."
"There's a difference in abilities?" Qin Tie asked.
"Yes, just like the difference between medical Ink Fish and regular Ink Fish, but this Water Devil Beast didn't evolve from a regular Ink Fish, but from a group of Ink Fish whose ink has a certain disinfecting effect on viruses."
"Therefore... its special ability will be more effective against zombies."
"This is also closely related to your positions. After all, you will be the first line of defense on Mirror Moon Island against the Zombie Tide, and zombies are your greatest enemy."
"Water Devil Beast that specifically targets zombies...?" Qin Tie paused slightly, then his eyes lit up. Not bad at all.
"Next, let's test this Water Devil Beast's abilities," Luo Yu said.
The group arrived outside an ice cell containing several ordinary zombie sea beasts. These zombie sea beasts, both inside the ice cell and in a cage, were frantically ramming and behaving extremely violently. However, just as their Bane Water Devil Beast, appeared and did nothing, these zombie sea beasts strangely quieted down. Yu Lei, Qin Tie, and the others had never seen anything like this before. They had dealt with zombies for half their lives, and when had they ever seen them so quiet? Even when faced with the Sovereign's Pressure, they usually chose to ignore it.
Luo Yu ate a Doctor Capsule and looked at his Bane Water Devil Beast: "Brother Octopus, could you please condense a drop of ink, just one drop, and splash it on that thing?"
Luo Yu pointed to a level 10 Crawler Lizard.
"Roar!"
Both the Water Devil Beast and the Water Demon Beast were level 10, one a lower-ranking monarch and the other Upper-Tier Common Species. It was only natural that the Water Demon Beast could be killed, but Luo Yu mainly wanted to test the kill efficiency.
But... just a drop?
Hearing Luo Yu's description, the three of them were quite taken aback. Even if it was effective against zombies, it shouldn't be enough to kill them with just one drop...
"Start with the weakest attack," Luo Yu explained.
Next, the Water Devil Beast condensed a drop of purifying ink, flicked its tentacle, and splashed it onto the Crawler. What happened next made the four of them gasp.
Upon contact with the drop of ink, the Crawler suddenly let out a painful howl, its entire body billowing with boiling white smoke. Accompanying its horrifying wail, the surrounding zombies trembled!
Just a few seconds later, a powerful Crawler was completely turned into white water, its body and bones corroded, leaving no trace of life.
A drop of ink... in seconds, reduced a zombie to ashes... this killing efficiency... Upon seeing this, Yu Lei, Yu Wan, and Qin Tie all showed incredulous expressions. Luo Yu was also shocked, but he knew the power of more than a hundred identical talents combined, so he was mentally prepared. "This is..." Qin Tie was stunned; this was too exaggerated.
If there were such a Water Devil Beast Legion, what would Mirror Moon Island have to fear from the Tidal Corpse Transformation?
Even on the front lines of fighting the Zombie Tide, he felt no danger whatsoever. Those zombies were no different from money-giving boys delivering crystal cores!
"Scholar Luo Yu, Yu Lei, is this really the pet beast that's going to be assigned to me?" Qin Tie was still somewhat incredulous.
This is too powerful, too invincible; he has completely forgotten about the Wave Dog now.
"Be more Confidence," Luo Yu said.
"I understand... I don't know what the unit I'm joining is called, but with them as my comrades, I will definitely wipe out every single zombie near Mirror Moon Island!" Qin Tie said, his eyes burning with determination.
"The unit's name..." Luo Yu began, "The Water Devil Beast Legion is the general name of the entire legion... To be more specific... since it's a special force primarily responsible for protecting Mirror Moon Island..."
"Let's call it Umbrella, the Umbrella Special Operations Team."
