1 Have I Traveled Through Time?

Jade Dragon Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles. 

A town with a population of more than 10,000 people was located in Yulan Town, which was in Jade Dragon Mountain Range. 

Although it was not isolated from the world, it was still thousands of kilometers away from big cities. 

The roars of dragons and tigers could be heard from time to time in the town. 

On the street, a white ape that was eight meters tall was carrying goods. 

The town's law enforcement team was patrolling the surroundings on the back of a Raging Inferno Werewolf. 

There were even red-winged birds of prey roaming in the sky. 

This was where Beastmasters gathered. 

There was a small, remote courtyard in the eastern suburbs of Yulan Town.

"Ding! The host has been detected to have transmigrated. The precognition system is currently binding itself to the target."

A man with sharp eyebrows and sparkling eyes suddenly woke up, and he heard this voice in his mind. 

"What…? Transmigrated? System?" 

Seeing the unfamiliar environment around him, Zhou Ming was a little hesitant. 

"Did I really transmigrate?" 

Before Zhou Ming could recover from his shock, a new wave of memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave. 

"Mirage Beast World?" 

The new memories in his mind let Zhou Ming know that Mirage Beasts were rampant in this world, and humankind was in a precarious situation! 

Powerful Mirage Beasts had the terrifying power to destroy mountains, rivers, and all living things! 

However, in the long period of human history, a group of people that could contend with Mirage Beasts was born, and they were the Beastmasters! 

Zhou Ming, who had transmigrated here, was not a Beastmaster who was revered by tens of thousands of people! 

Instead, he was an orphan. 

"Ding! The precognition system has been successfully bound!"

"Precognition system?" 

Zhou Ming did not think any further. As an experienced bookworm, he knew the system genre extremely well. 

"Ding! The precognition system can provide the host with information about Mirage Beasts and various resources on a regular basis. 

"As the host's familiar's tier increases, the abilities of the foresight system will expand!

"Currently providing the host with information from the foresight system. 

"Yulan Town's pet shop in the western suburbs received a Mythical-tier Blazing Seraph Egg by mistake today. The host is advised to immediately pick it up…"

The robotic voice faded away. 

Upon hearing the system notification, Zhou Ming's heart instantly rejoiced. 

According to the memories in Zhou Ming's mind, Mirage Beasts' bloodlines were divided into the following: Normal, Elite, King, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical! 

If one were to contract a King-tier Mirage Beast, one could become the overlord of a city with a population of hundreds of thousands! 

If one were to contract an Epic-tier Mirage Beast, one could become the overlord of a city with a population of a million! 

A Mythical-tier Mirage Beast was even rarer! 

"Mythical-tier? I've never heard of it." 

At the thought of this, Zhou Ming suddenly stood up. 

His eyes were filled with ecstasy. 

Such an opportunity was right in front of him. 

How could he miss it? 

As soon as he said it, Zhou Ming immediately walked out of the small courtyard. 

A map-like image appeared in his mind. 

The destination was the pet shop in the western suburbs of Yulan town. 

... 

A moment later, Zhou Ming followed the route provided by the system and arrived at the entrance of the pet shop. 

Although the pet shop was in the remote suburbs, there was an endless stream of customers coming and going. 

"This time, I'm going to pick a Mirage Beast Egg that can hatch." 

"I heard that a new batch came today. Let's hurry up!" 

"Alright. If someone else picks it, we'll have to wait for the next batch!"

The two men walking in front of Zhou Ming were talking with hope laced in their voices. 

It was clear that this was not their first time here. 

Zhou Ming did not hesitate and stepped into the pet shop. 

After all, if the Mythical-tier Blazing Seraph Egg was taken away by someone else one step ahead of time… he would suffer a great loss! 

After entering, Zhou Ming was stunned by the scene in front of him! 

A pet shop? 

This was totally a pet factory! 

It was over a thousand square meters in size, with hundreds of Mirage Beast Eggs on display. 

Each Mirage Beast Egg had its own stand. 

There was all kinds of information on the side. 

There were Mirage Beast Eggs of different sizes and colors. 

Mirage Beast Eggs the size of a basketball were displayed in the high-priced area. 

Mirage Beast Eggs of a smaller size were displayed in the low-priced area. 

There were a few faintly glowing Mirage Beast Eggs displayed in the middle. 

There were even armored and armed warriors guarding them. 

Looking at the entire hall, there were already hundreds of customers inside. 

They were choosing their eggs with keen eyes.

There were also brightly dressed service personnel enthusiastically introducing eggs to them. 

After seeing everything, Zhou Ming did not hesitate. 

The system's instructions were still flashing in his mind. 

He knew that the Mythical-tier Blazing Seraph Egg should not have been taken away. 

Otherwise, the system's instructions would also change accordingly. 

'There?' 

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, and his gaze stopped at a corner that everyone ignored. 

Then, he strode forward. 

But after he passed the area, Zhou Ming was a little dumbfounded. 

The Mirage Beast Eggs here were not displayed on the counter like before. 

They were scattered all over the floor, as if no one wanted them. 

Zhou Ming finally understood why the Mythical-tier Blazing Seraph Egg was still here. 

After all, who would pay attention to this corner? 

Just as Zhou Ming was about to squat down to choose. 

A tall and mighty middle-aged man walked over. He had the insignia of the store manager hanging on his chest. 

On his shoulder stood two golden eagles! 

He was incomparably majestic! 

The golden eagles emitted a faint glow, and their eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could see through everything. 

'The store manager is a Beastmaster?' 

Zhou Ming was a little surprised, but he did not stop with whatever he was doing.

"Boy, the Mirage Beast Eggs here are all dead eggs. You can go over there and choose." 

The store manager looked fierce, but his words were very gentle. 

"It's fine, I'll just take a look." 

Zhou Ming lowered his head and responded. Then, he squatted on the floor and began to search. 

"This? No, no!" 

"..." 

When he saw that Zhou Ming did not listen to his advice, the store manager shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I really don't believe that you can choose one." 

He had run Mirage Pet Shop for dozens of years. 

Every Mirage Beast egg had been double-checked by him and the golden eagles! 

He had never made a wrong judgment! 

Not to mention, the Mirage Beast Eggs that Zhou Ming had chosen had already lost signs of life. 

Unless they had the divine power to come back to life, it was impossible for them to hatch into a Mirage Beast! 

Then, he looked at Zhou Ming. 

He was still fully focused on choosing and did not pay attention to the middle-aged man beside him. 

When Zhou Ming picked up a dark Mirage Beast Egg, the system's voice sounded in his mind. 

"Ding! Mythical-tier Blazing Seraph Egg!" 

'This is it!' 

Zhou Ming's heart was filled with joy. He stood up and hugged the Mirage Beast Egg in his arms. 

The store manager looked at the happy, handsome young man in front of him. 

He was a little puzzled. "Boy, this is a dead egg. Why do you want it?" 

"Who said it's a dead egg?" 

Zhou Ming impatiently took out a coin and gave it to the store manager. 

Right now, he only wanted to hatch the Blazing Seraph as soon as possible. 

When he heard that, the store manager frowned. 

In his opinion, this young man in front of him was doubting his own ability! 

These Mirage Beast Eggs were all touched by him one by one. 

He was very confident in his own professional judgment! 

The store manager's expression turned solemn. "If this egg can hatch, I'll give the store to you!" 

These words also attracted the attention of the surrounding people. 

When they saw the incomparably handsome man holding a dead egg, many people began to ridicule him. 

"If this egg can hatch, then I can hatch a Mirage Beast with a King-tier bloodline!" 

"It's obvious that you don't know what's good for you. With a casual look, you can tell that the egg has been burned by flames. If it can hatch, then I've lived in vain!" 

"Owner, you're giving him the store? Then, I'm giving my family's property to him as well." 

"That's right, that's right!" 

"..." 

Meanwhile, there were a few beautiful women who fell for Zhou Ming the moment they saw him. 

"How handsome!" 

"His looks can't be matched in the world!" 

They said jokingly, "Boy, it doesn't matter if you can hatch it or not. I'll give you money to buy a high-quality one." 

"Why would he want your stinky money? Boy, my dowry is a Mirage Beast cub. Think about it!" 

Zhou Ming was silent.
