1 The World of Beast Taming

The golden light from the morning sun shone on the apartment complex and into the room through the window.

"Little fish, little fish, eat quickly, only by eating can you grow fatter..."

Ye Haoran slowly crushed the snacks and threw the crumbles into the palm-sized transparent fish tank next to him.

"Gulp..."

A small goldfish stuck its head out of the water and looked at him with its big eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it finished all the food on the surface of the water, spat out a few bubbles and returned to the bottom of the water.

Ye Haoran sighed helplessly as he looked at the finger-long goldfish.

He had been raising this fish for three years, but it had only grown from half a finger long to one finger long. This growth rate was really ridiculous!

By convention, in the Lingwu era, the strength of humans was almost directly related to their contract spirit.

A thousand years ago, China vigorously developed its technology to explore outer space and found a special planet at the edge of the solar system.

This planet was filled with all kinds of relics. China explored them and came into contact with the spiritualist, a magical profession. The combat power of a spiritualist was beyond imagination, and the collaboration between the spiritualist and his contract spirit was extremely powerful.

Since then, people began to develop spiritualists, and spiritualists gradually became common among the people. To commemorate the day the planet was discovered, it was named the first year of the Lingwu era.

As a student with the best grades in his cultural studies class, Ye Haoran knew this part of history like the back of his hand. Every beast tamer would form a contract with his companion at the age of fourteen. This little goldfish was Ye Haoran's contract spirit. The first contract spirit would accompany the beast tamer for the rest of his life. Its importance was unparalleled.

Unfortunately, it was hard to describe the strength of this little goldfish in a few words. It was extremely weak to the point that it became a burden to him!

He had been raising this fish for several years, and its spirit level had always been Level 1 and had never changed. Moreover, it would only be a hindrance in actual combat.

Just imagine, other people's contract spirits were like the Flame Lions, Gale Tigers, and so on, and they were all awe-inspiring when they went on stage.

As for Ye Haoran, he had to hold the fish tank when he fought, afraid that the little goldfish would die once it came out of the water.

With one hand fighting and the other holding the tank, Ye Haoran in combat was a hilarious sight.

He also had to be careful not to break the fish tank. If the little goldfish came out of the water and died, it would be an endgame for him.

"Little Hao, time to go to school!" Mrs. Ye shouted from the kitchen.

"Coming, Mom."

After giving the little goldfish one last resentful look, Ye Haoran stood up and was about to go and eat.

[Ding Dong!] [Dragonization system activated.]

[Host, please train your pet beast according to your choice.]

Strange words suddenly appeared before Ye Haoran's eyes. Before he could react, a few options were presented to him.

[Option 1: Go and eat immediately. Reward: Increase appetite by 5%.]

[Option 2: Roast the little goldfish and become an ordinary person in the future. Reward: Earn the title 'Acting decisively' and the dragonization system will disappear.]

[Option 3: Feed the goldfish with the food given by the system. Reward: The goldfish starts to evolve and the first skill is activated.]

The corner of Ye Haoran's mouth twitched. This system did not seem normal.

The first option was fine, but what the hell was the second option?

Ye Haoran ignored the first two options and chose the third option.

In an instant, a bag of feed appeared in his hand out of thin air. On the package was written " Dragonization brand feed, whoever uses it will transform into a dragon".

The direct and straightforward advertisement slogan stunned him. The person who came up with this name must be a genius.

Ye Haoran tore open the packaging, sprinkled some feed into the fish tank, and eagerly wanted to see the goldfish's reaction. Since it was something given by the system, it should be of some use, right?

The goldfish that had been sleeping at the bottom of the tank suddenly rushed to the surface and ate all the feed. In the blink of an eye, the goldfish extended half a finger under Ye Haoran's gaze.

Ye Haoran was dumbfounded. He thought, "These few pellets are equivalent to three years of my feeding? Did the system give me some kind of hormones or fertilizers?"

Ye Haoran took the 'dragonization feed' and sniffed it. It smelled quite fragrant, but he didn't know if it was delicious.

Suddenly, Ye Haoran seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly opened his contract spirit's attribute panel.

[Goldfish (evolvable)]

[Star: 1]

[Level: Level 2 spirit]

[Skill: Dragon's Roar (Level 1): Releases an angry roar to intimidate the enemy. The duration and effect are based on the actual time.]

"F*ck, it really leveled up!" Ye Haoran cried out in surprise. This was something he had not been able to do for several years!

A spiritualist's level was determined according to the highest level of the spirit, which meant that he was now a Level 2 spiritualist. Furthermore, he had also learned a new skill!

In the future, in actual combat, the little goldfish would be able to help share some of his burdens.

Moreover, now that the word 'evolvable' had appeared behind the 'goldfish', his little goldfish would not stop at 1-star.

This system was quite powerful!

Ye Haoran touched his chin, deep in thought.

With such a powerful system, he could be the main character, and with the protagonist's aura, he could do whatever he want in Beitong City!

It seemed that the first three years of suffering were the system's trial for him.

Now, he, Ye Haoran, had finally succeeded!

Looking at the little goldfish blowing bubbles in the fish tank, Ye Haoran cried with joy and laughed out loud.

"Little Hao, are you sick again?"

Mrs. Ye pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Ye Haoran holding the fish tank and smiling foolishly, she said, "If you really don't like it, we can get your dad to add another dish by roasting it."

"No, no, no, you can't roast it..."

Ye Haoran quickly shook his head. The evolvable goldfish was now his precious, they could roast him but they definitely could not roast the goldfish!
