Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 222

“D*mn! There’s nothing here,” Liu Yong cursed. “F*ck! We were trapped in this small space upon entering. Can you believe it?”

“Fortunately, I dug a lot of ice hearts from this cave. This time, I can probably make millions.” Lu Shuang chuckled with his Ice Ghost as he held an ice heart in his hand. This thing was icy blue and was shaped like a five-pointed star, reflecting the blue rays of the sun and looking dazzling.

“F*ck! How impressive. You actually found so many ice hearts. I only found a dozen of them,” Feng Ming exclaimed. He originally thought that he had found the most.

As they continued talking, only Su Bai remained standing there expressionlessly, without saying a word.

He had kept all his pets in his contract book except for Blood Dragon, which was currently wrapped around his wrist, and Purple Jade, which was sitting on his shoulder.

Its whole body was snow-white, and it would blink its big purple eyes from time to time, looking very lazy.

“Su Bai, what’s the matter?” Feng Ming noticed that something seemed off about him.

“It’s nothing.” He shook his head and turned to leave. “Let’s go; it’s time for us to return.”

In fact, he was wondering if he had done something wrong in abandoning Ice Phoenix. It was not to blame for its paranoia because the special memory left by its mother had fixed its worldview and personality right after birth.

Ah Bai, I don’t think your decision was a mistake. Ice Phoenix wanted to leave long ago, and it often attacked you, too. It didn’t treat you as a partner at all, the cub said through its spiritual voice.

He shook his head and did not want to harp on this matter anymore. Ice Phoenix had always wanted to leave, so this time he had only fulfilled its wish.

“Brother Bai, the source of the intense magnetic field below has disappeared. Did you do it? Are there any treasures for us to see?” Lu Shuang chuckled and asked.

“Yes, I did it. It’s a special Electromagnetic Satellite Monster, but I killed it,” he glanced at the other and replied casually.

“I want to see pictures; do you have any?”

Lu Shuang was quite unwilling to give up. He felt that the core monster was not just an Electromagnetic Satellite Monster.

“You don’t believe me?” Su Bai glanced at him.

“No, how could that be? I just want to see what a special Electromagnetic Satellite Monster is like.” Lu Shuang waved his hand quickly, feeling that the other had misunderstood. He did not covet anything and was purely curious.

“I’ll show you when we get back; it’s not a big deal,” Su Bai said.

“Aren’t we going to continue exploring?”

Liu Yong was a little reluctant. He was unlucky this time and did not obtain anything.

“We can take another path on the way back and look around again. It’s getting late.”

Su Bai took out four cans of beer from his backpack and threw some to the other three.

“Alright, let’s go.” The four of them took a few sips of beer.

There was not much gain on the way back, and nothing was particularly good. Everyone gave the gains to Liu Yong.

“Brothers, thank you so much. Let’s toast with this bottle of vodka.” Liu Yong took out four bottles of vodka and handed them to the three.

The three people were speechless.

“What are you afraid of? We’re all Pet Tamers, so we won’t be drunk with this little alcohol, alright?”

The three thought about it and reckoned that it made sense, so they all toasted with him.

Back at the camp, Su Bai first reported the situation and then returned to his tent. The sky in Heavenly Abyss was much darker than outside, but it was alright for Pet Tamers who often entered various dangerous places.

“Okay, let’s see. Shall we?” Lu Shuang stopped him on his way to the tent and said with a smile.

Su Bai was a little helpless. He thought that the other should have forgotten it by now but apparently not.

For lack of a better option, he took out the palm-sized, silver-white electromagnetic core and said, “I didn’t take a photo. This is the core of that special electromagnetic monster, and it can be regarded as its crystal nucleus.”

“Let me see.” Lu Shuang took it from his hand and examined it. He then threw it back to him. “It doesn’t seem to be special.”

Feng Ming and Liu Yong shook their heads slightly. They were quite speechless about Lu Shuang’s behavior, thinking that he was really dense.

Shrugging, Su Bai turned and returned to his tent. He silently decided in his heart to only take risks on his own in the future.

“Howl.” That guy is really annoying. Others would think it belonged to him, Purple Jade said contentiously.

“Don’t be angry. Look at it from another angle, and you may think that he’s actually a good person.” He shook his head, feeling no need to be courteous.

The cub tilted its head. What angle?

Su Bai just shook his head again and remained silent. He then took out an Electromagnetic Satellite Monster, which he had asked from Professor Scorpio moments ago.

The Electromagnetic Satellite Monster was very special. It was originally an electromagnetic monster, but because of its super high attainments in electromagnetic waves, it was transformed by human scientists into an electromagnetic satellite that integrated many functions, such as detection and communication.

It was equivalent to a living satellite. It was already a very common tool in human society, and Pet Tamers could generally contract one by themselves once they were at a certain level.

Although Professor Scorpio had released numerous Electromagnetic Satellite Monsters, in fact, only the largest one, the monarch electromagnetic satellite, had a contract with him, while the others were wage earners.

Although they were not contracted with humans, they were still willing to work for humans in exchange for the food and resources necessary in their lives.

[Hello, powerful Su Bai! I am F1314, an Electromagnetic Satellite Monster. I am very happy to meet you. I am willing to sign a contract with you and become your partner through spring, summer, autumn, and winter.]

Lines of text appeared on the display of this Electromagnetic Satellite Monster.

“After signing a contract, you’re not allowed to go back on your words.” He touched it. This guy was spherical, but its spherical surface was connected by small hexagons. There was a display screen on its chest as it was a man-made object.

Eight mechanical claws protruded from its lower body, which could be used as a support or to grab things.

[Of course, it is my honor to be able to sign a contract with a human.]

Every electromagnetic satellite was eager to sign a contract with humans.

They were not evolutionary, and the most talented electromagnetic satellites could barely reach the monarch level, so there was no way to advance further.

It was only a low-level warlord now, and it was unlikely to break through to a commander in this life. Hence, F1314 was already very happy to sign a contract with a human.

“That’s good. Don’t worry; I have enough food.” Su Bai chuckled. He opened his contract book, selected a blank contract page, and released a contract law to envelop the Electromagnetic Satellite Monster.

An emerald light flashed, and the contract was completed.

[Hello, master! F1314 will serve you from now on. Please give me a new name.]

A new line of text appeared on the display of the Electromagnetic Satellite.

“Then, let’s call you 1314; this name sounds pretty good. It means ‘for the rest of my life’ in Chinese. You can call me Ah Bai; all my pets call me that.”

He laughed.

Thank you, Ah Bai.

A mechanical female voice sounded in his mind, and no text appeared on 1314’s display this time.

“Hey, aren’t you genderless?” he asked curiously.

Yes, so the voice of 1314 can be changed at will. What kind of voice would you like to hear, master?

“This one is good.”

Alright.

“Let me introduce you to the others. This is Purple Jade, your eldest sister. These are your other siblings; you’ll get to know them later.”

He picked up the cub and kissed it before rubbing it affectionately.

Hello, Sister Jade, greeted 1314 obediently.

“Howl!” Hello! Follow Ah Bai and good days await you. The cub raised a paw to say hello.

Putting the cub down, Su Bai took out the white electromagnetic core he had obtained before and looked at his newly contracted Electromagnetic Satellite Monster. “Do you want to become stronger?”

[Can I? According to scientific data, I’ve reached the limit of my evolution.]

The monster’s display showed its specific data.

“It’s okay; I have a way. There are endless miracles in this world.” He laughed.

[I, 1314, am willing to believe in miracles. Please help me, Ah Bai!]

The text on the display refreshed.

“Come and fuse with this.” He pointed to the electromagnetic core in his hand.

This was actually a combination of that special Electromagnetic Satellite Monster and the metal it was devouring.

What it swallowed was a rare active metal. After fusion, it could change its appearance according to will and could possibly become a Transformer.

However, the only disadvantage was that it could not move when the active metal was swallowed, let alone launch an attack.

That was why this thing was so easy to hit the street.

How do I swallow it?

“Activate your electromagnetic satellite to activate it, and then it will merge into your body by itself.” He explained.

Okay, I understand.

An invisible electromagnetic wave burst out from the electromagnetic core of 1314, then the electromagnetic core exploded with an even more terrifying electromagnetic force, which formed a powerful magnetic field.

The electromagnetic core and 1314 twisted around each other for a while, picking up speed before finally knocking against each other with a loud bang. The silver-white, electromagnetic core flickered to form an electromagnetic shield, which isolated everything.

It seemed like there was no way to complete the fusion for a while.

Unable to comprehend this, the cub looked up at Su Bai and grabbed him with its paws. You haven’t finished talking about changing the angle. What do you mean?

“Sigh. Must you insist on getting to the bottom of it?” he asked helplessly. He did not want to dwell on Lu Shuang and the others anymore.

Of course, don’t you know that cats are very curious creatures? The cub looked at him.

“You’re not a cat, though. You don’t even know how to meow.” He also turned to look at it.

Purple Jade: “…”

“Meow~ Meow~” Are you satisfied now, stupid Ah Bai?

“Okay, it sounds good. I wanted to find a cat, but I guess it’s not necessary now. You’re enough, little cutie,” he nodded and said. The cub’s cat cry revealed a touch of charm, melting his heart.

You’re a scumbag, stupid Ah Bai.

The cub widened its eyes and bit the hand that was touching it.

D*mn it. Was it not enough for him? Just because it did not know how to meow, he actually wanted to find a new pet? What a scumbag!

“Ouch! Don’t bite me. I won’t find any other pet, alright?” Su Bai pretended to be in pain, but it did not actually hurt at all.

“Howl!” The cub refused to let go, but in its heart, it was thinking whether it should learn how to meow more in the future. What if its owner really went out to find other cats?

D*mn it. The cub was not even a cat, but it actually wanted it to learn how to meow.

The more Purple Jade thought about it, the angrier it got, and the more it wanted to bite him. However, because of the contract, it could not hurt its owner. This fact angered the cub even more.

Su Bai shook his head, letting it bite his arm, as he slowly explained, “In fact, it’s nothing, but I kind of suspect that the three of them might have been arranged in advance to share a dormitory with me. Hmm, but I don’t that think it’s possible.”

Ah Bai, it sounds quite reasonable. If it’s been arranged long ago, then it’s terrible. Backstabs from acquaintances are the easiest to succeed. I must guard against them in the future.

The cub widened its eyes and let go of his hand, feeling that his words made sense.

Hey, no. Why should I protect you? The cub shook its head again. You’re a scumbag. Why would it think of protecting you immediately? 

Su Bai smiled slightly and caressed his pet’s head. “I was just joking; I won’t find another pet just because you can’t meow.”

The cub turned its head and ignored him. It had figured out why it wanted to protect its owner.

It was because, ever since its birth, he had stood in an unshakable position in all its memories, and its life seemed to contain nothing else except him.

“Let’s eat.” Su Bai took out the energy medicine cakes and potions before letting the other pets out to feed them.

That night, when he was about to sleep with the cub in his arms, 1314 suddenly completed the fusion.

It became a silver-white sphere, suspended in the air.

Ah Bai, I’ve actually reached the commander grade. This is incredible!

His new pet’s voice rang in his mind.

[Name|Race]: Electromagnetic Satellite Monster|Monster

[Gender]: None

[Level]: Low-level commander

[Attribute]: Electricity, Metal

[Features|Passive]: Electromagnetic Transmission (It can be transmitted through electromagnetic waves, so it can reach wherever electromagnetic waves can reach.)

Instantaneous Transmission (It can transmit information from other electromagnetic satellites or electromagnetic equipment instantly.)

Deformation (It can change into any shape, but the shape is still metal; this cannot be changed.)

[Skills]: Powerful Geomagnetic Storm

[Restrained]: Water attribute, wood attribute

[Weakness]: Fire attribute

[Introduction]: This is a special Electromagnetic Satellite Monster. Although it will not evolve and cannot upgrade its level easily, it can be transformed into any shape freely.

It also possesses a powerful magnetic field. The communication between it and the equipment or other electromagnetic satellites marked by it is not limited by space and can be reached almost instantaneously.

This is a very loyal monster. It has high computing power, equivalent to a computer, and can provide a lot of help to the owner.

*****

“Not bad. You’re very strong,” he said with a smile. “I’ll leave my communication to you in the future. I have a lot of things that I don’t want others to know, so you can block this information for me.”

This was the basic function of the Electromagnetic Satellite Monster. It was equivalent to a conscious computer and could help him handle many things.

With its surveillance, no one could snoop on his information through the Internet.

If anyone really dared to do so, 1314 could even follow the network cable and teach that guy a lesson.

In addition, whenever Su Bai hunted monsters, he always relied on Electromagnetic Satellite Monsters to record information and finally send it back. The Pet Alliance would know how many monsters he had killed and gave him the rewards he deserved.

During this process, some of his battle scenes would also be sent back as data, under the orders of the Alliance.

However, with this Electromagnetic Satellite Monster, he did not need to worry about this. It could intercept those pictures and only transmit the killing data.

I am happy to serve you. When I go back and load some fighter information, if someone spies on your information, I will track it along the network to deal with the person.

1314’s body floated, turning into a silver-white figure and bowing to him.

“Haha! Thank you.” He touched it happily. Although 1314 was an auxiliary pet, it was really likable.

The most important thing was that his privacy would not be invaded with it.

There was no way for the Pet Alliance and various organizations to invade his privacy. They could not possibly refuse him of their services unless he gave them his private information, could they?

Did they think Pet Tamers had no temper?

Even if he did not dare to kill them, he could still do some damage to their businesses. The people of this generation were not without the strength to truss a chicken.
