Chapter 014: The Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish's Gratitude, First Contract Pet Beast Confirmed!
"Grandfather, I've decided. I want this spirit beast egg."
Having made up his mind, Zane pointed at the shriveled White Scale Fish egg.
As soon as these words came out, both Elder Bai and the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish were stunned.
To be honest, it wasn't surprising that Zane would choose an offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish.
In the entire Myriad Spider Nest Secret Realm, there were very few Water-type spirit beasts more excellent than the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish.
After all, just looking at the name "Myriad Spider Nest Secret Realm," one could tell it was a world dominated by spider-type spirit beasts.
Although there were Water-type spirit beasts, the variety was definitely not large.
Zane's best choice was naturally the offspring of the Diamond-rank Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish.
But anyone with eyes could see it.
The spirit beast egg Zane pointed to had significant problems.
Shriveled, dull luster, weak vitality.
It looked congenitally deficient and malnourished; it might even be difficult for it to hatch.
In the brutal wild, this kind of spirit beast egg would be the first to be abandoned.
Yet unexpectedly, Zane actually set his sights on this egg.
Elder Bai's first reaction was to forbid it.
Even if it hurt his partner, the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish's feelings, he had to persuade Zane otherwise.
Because he didn't want Zane's initial pet beast to be defective.
"Grandfather, my intuition tells me that this is the most suitable partner for me."
Zane seemed to see through Elder Bai's thoughts and spoke up quickly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Bai froze.
If it was Zane's intuition, then the meaning was different.
It should be known that Zane's Beast Taming Talent was the S-rank [Ultra Intuition].
This talent inherently involved intuition and precognition.
Since Zane felt that this spirit beast egg was suitable...
It meant it could be true.
This special spirit beast egg might bring Zane unexpected help.
So, Elder Bai hesitated.
"Alright, since you've decided, Grandfather won't stop you."
"But before that, we need to get the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish's consent."
Elder Bai nodded slowly and spoke.
After careful consideration, he agreed to this matter.
For no other reason than his confidence in Zane's Beast Taming Talent, the mutated S-rank talent [Ultra Intuition].
After all, mutated talents in history were all astonishing existences.
Since Zane possessed such a talent, there must be something extraordinary about his choice.
Therefore, he wouldn't interfere too much with Zane's decision.
As for the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish, it certainly wouldn't refuse.
Although this child was born deficient, it was still its child.
It was a great thing that Zane wanted to contract its child.
The Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish was very grateful to Zane.
So, the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish nodded slightly and pushed the White Scale Fish egg in front of Zane, expressing its attitude.
Moreover, the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish plucked a scale from beneath its abdomen and presented it directly to Zane.
"..."
Elder Bai glanced at the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish, seeming somewhat surprised, but ultimately remained silent and didn't say much.
As for Zane, his attention was completely focused on the scale.
It was a purple-gold scale, half gold and half purple, looking extremely miraculous.
At the same time, the [Eye of Apocalypse] activated, and a text entry appeared above the scale.
[Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish Main Scale]: One of the origin scales of the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish. If it fully transforms into purple, it can evolve into a Reverse Scale, allowing transformation into a flood dragon.
[Effect]: Contains the origin power of the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish. It can enhance the origin of Water-type spirit beasts. When carried by a Water-type spirit beast, it can enhance the effect of Water-type skills by 10%.
"Such a thing... The Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish actually gave me something so precious."
"It seems the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish is truly grateful to me for accepting its child."
Zane pondered slightly and understood in his heart.
This should be a thank-you gift from the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish.
Thanking Zane for accepting its child.
Because with Zane's nurturing, its child might survive and even have the possibility of growing up.
As a mother, how could the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish not be grateful?
Zane was very delighted about this.
Because he discovered something: this main scale of the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish seemed to be of significant help to him.
Wasn't the reason for that White Scale Fish egg's congenital deficiency a lack of life energy and origin?
This main scale could perfectly help make up for the deficiency.
For Zane, this was absolutely a huge surprise.
So, Zane happily accepted it without any polite refusal.
A while later, Zane took the White Scale Fish egg and the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish main scale and returned directly to the villa.
Then, Zane ran back to his room and began preparing to nurture the spirit beast egg.
How to use the main scale to nurture the White Scale Fish egg?
For Zane, this wasn't difficult.
He had the Heavenly Dao hints from the [Eye of Apocalypse].
As soon as Zane had the thought, he immediately obtained the answer.
"Place the White Scale Fish egg and the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish main scale together, supplemented by a nutrient solution made from Heart-Entwining Flower leaves and other materials. This allows the White Scale Fish egg to absorb the origin power of the main scale in the shortest time possible..."
To allow the White Scale Fish egg to better absorb the origin power, a special nutrient solution needed to be made.
For Zane, this was easy.
Even more so, Zane didn't need to do it himself.
He only needed to give an order, and the family's breeders would complete the nutrient solution formulation and deliver it to him.
Soon, all preparatory work was completed, and the White Scale Fish egg began to absorb the origin power of the main scale.
According to the Heavenly Dao hint from the [Eye of Apocalypse], this process would take three days.
For the next while, Zane only needed to wait three days.
Although somewhat helpless, Zane had no choice but to wait patiently.
Soon, three days passed.
At this time, a huge change appeared in the White Scale Fish egg.
The originally shriveled egg had completely made up for its deficiencies, even growing to the size of a basketball, far surpassing the other White Scale Fish egg.
Furthermore, Zane could feel that the vitality of the White Scale Fish egg had become extremely astonishing .
