5 Chapter 5: Initial Pet
Translator: 549690339
“Yi.” The Coldjade Snake, which had been squinting its eyes, suddenly stood upright, letting out a crisp, pleasant cry.
The next moment, it shook its head, and the adorable ice crystal on its head bloomed into a mix of blue and white light, directly dispelling the blue-glowing rune circle on its forehead.
“Yi-ya Yi-ya.”
The sudden change in the contract situation and the backlash from the failed contract made Margaret’s face pale. Although she couldn’t understand the meaning of the Coldjade Snake’s cry, she could clearly feel its indifference and resistance.
She stood there helplessly and smiled, suppressing the loss in her heart and turning away calmly.
Seeing Margaret leave, the Coldjade Snake raised its head slightly, its gaze seemingly filled with disdain. Then, it lazily curled up on the Magic Core to rest.
“Ah, even a genius from Class I has failed!”
“I told you, it’s not a pet that a Trainer apprentice could contract.”
“Forget it, let’s just choose another pet. The success rate seems slim, and I can’t waste a chance here.”
Amid the discussions, several students in the queue gave up and quickly left. Seeing people leave, many others were swayed, and soon another five or six students left.
“Next.” The staff member who had been calm throughout called out. It was as if everything that had happened in the morning was to be expected.
Upon hearing this, David Jones clenched his fists, suppressing his nervousness, and strode confidently into the valley.
“While it’s still absorbing the Magic Core, give it your all! You can do it!” Margaret, who had just left the valley, tilted her head and encouraged him with a smile.
“Okay.” David responded with a smile.
Upon entering the snow-white valley, David discovered that it was warmer inside than outside. During his wait in line, he used “Identify” to observe and understand the three jade-like snakes and chose his target.
The smaller Coldjade Snake cub, wrapped around the Magic Core, had the most outstanding talent and potential among the three.
In addition to its inherent Species Skill, it also had an inherited Psychic Skill “Confusion,” and its strength had reached Fresh Level VII.
“Confusion”: Class III Psychic Skill that allows the user to control and move objects or living beings through thoughts.
David walked near the staff member and caught a glimpse of the man’s name on his work card: Valentine Thomson.
After handing over his application card for stamping, David pointed at the distant Coldjade Snake and asked softly, “Can I get closer to it?”
“Of course, you can. But be careful; when its front half stands upright, you can’t approach it any further!” Valentine replied indifferently.
Having witnessed a morning of failed contracts, Valentine didn’t believe that David could succeed.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm his excited nerves, David tiptoed according to plan, using “Dragon-Wielding” while slowly approaching the snake.
His powerful Psychic Power combined with “Dragon Force” gave David full confidence in getting close to the Coldjade Snake.
He came within one step of the Coldjade Snake, but it showed no sign of opening its eyes or reacting to his approach, still curled up as if it didn’t feel threatened.
David held his breath, crouching down and placing his right hand on the head of the Coldjade Snake under the surprised look of the staff member.
The sensation he felt was like touching warm jade, delicate and smooth. Immediately, he used “Dragon Force” to give the snake a massage.
“He actually touched the Coldjade Snake! How is that possible? Even I can’t get too close to it, or this little thing would breathe a Cold Breath at me!” Valentine’s eyes flashed with doubt, and he whispered in astonishment.
Surprised voices came from the surrounding crowd as well.
“Yi.” The Coldjade Snake, which had been sleeping soundly, felt its body being violated and instinctively turned to spit out a Cold Breath. However, it suddenly felt a surge of energy from the palm on its head, bringing an incredibly pleasant sensation.
The Coldjade Snake slightly opened its mouth but hesitated to continue the exhaling action, perhaps it was not willing to leave the warm palm.contemporary romance
Looking at the comfortable Coldjade Snake, David Jones chuckled secretly, thinking that indeed, no pet could resist the temptation of Dragon Force.
One minute later, the little creature opened its eyes after enjoying the massage. Its big eyes curiously looked at David Jones, and it unexpectedly loosened its grip on the Magic Core, instead gently coiling around David Jones’ right hand.
“Yi ya, yi ya.”
Looking at the adorable little pet coiled around his wrist, David Jones couldn’t help but open his palm, watching it crawl step by step onto the center of his hand.
He gently lifted and stroked the Coldjade Snake, making eye contact with it while using Dragon Force again with his left hand.
“Yi.” As David Jones’ stroking and Dragon-Wielding strengthened, the little fellow looked more and more content, even emanating a faint fragrance.
A beautiful, cute pair of eyes stared directly at David Jones, appearing even more adorable and charming.
“Are you willing to form a contract with me?” David Jones’ hand paused slightly while stroking the little creature, feeling the warmth between his fingers.
“Yi ya.” The Coldjade Snake looked at David Jones with confusion, then proudly tapped his skin up and down with its tongue, its head swaying doubtfully.
“Would you like to? If we make a contract, you’ll get these massages every day.” While speaking, David Jones used Dragon Force to massage it again with his left hand.
After a year of cultivating the Dragon Crystal, the number of times David Jones could use Dragon Force increased from two to five.
So, during this crucial moment of contracting a pet, he didn’t hesitate to consume his strength and used Dragon Force multiple times to strengthen it.
“Yi, yi.” A drop of drool uncontrollably dripped from the corner of its mouth, and the Coldjade Snake nuzzled David Jones’ palm, seemingly using psychic powers to sense him for a while. After a long time, it finally nodded, allowing a proud cry.
Seeing the Coldjade Snake hatchling nod in agreement, David Jones smiled contentedly, then closed his eyes to communicate with the Arcane Star in his mind.
Through his intention, the blue pentagram rune circled around with light enveloped the Coldjade Snake’s head.
Under the blue light, David Jones’ mind seemed to connect like a psychic bond with the Coldjade Snake.
While David Jones felt its curiosity towards him and some hesitation, the Coldjade Snake sensed his affection for it.
Not long after, blue lines spread from the Coldjade Snake’s forehead throughout its body. With a thought from David Jones, it offered no resistance, turning into a streak of blue light and disappearing from the outside world, entering the Star Ring on David Jones’ right hand.
The Star Ring was the low-level arcane implement given by the school when a student successfully awakened their talent to train pets.
The space inside the refined Star Ring could be used to accommodate the host’s pets. The one on David Jones’ hand was just the lowest level Star Ring, with very limited space.
After the contract was completed, waves of energy surged. Feeling the warmth that flowed throughout his body and Arcane Star due to the contract, David Jones excitedly discovered that his Arcane Star had naturally broken through from Class I to Class II, and his strength and constitution had also improved significantly.
“Congratulations, you’re the first student to successfully contract a Coldjade Snake in Water Mountain Breeding Base in six years.”
“Here’s the raising guide for the Coldjade Snake and some of its food. If you want to buy more food, it’s recommended to register as a Trainer first, then order from the Pet Mall app on your phone.” Valentine Thomson enviously said, then handed David Jones a bag.
“Okay, thank you.” David Jones nodded excitedly, then took the bag handed to him.
Initially, he thought it would take at least ten or so days of cultivation for the Arcane Star in his mind to break through the bottleneck. But after the contract was successfully formed, the breakthrough happened quite naturally.
At this moment, voices filled with admiration and discussion also came from outside the valley.
“Do you guys know who this guy is? He actually managed to contract.”
“Judging from his school uniform, he’s from the Pet Training Class at the Second School. But apart from Richard Keith and Anthony Martin, I haven’t heard of such a character in that school.”
“Since his initial pet is so strong, I guess we’ll soon find out more details about him.”
