Zhan Wei couldn't make a decision after looking at them for a while. Each of these five pet beasts has its own shortcomings, but the fact that they are affordable and have safe evolution plans is an undeniable advantage.

Ultimately, it comes down to money.

Zhan Wei got up and walked out of the room.

His mother was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Zhan Wei said, "Mom, do we have 1 million? I want to buy a Bubble Bell."

"Get lost."

"Alright!"

Zhan Wei returned to his room and continued browsing the forum.

【Is it safe for a D-level Beast Tamer to go to the Zipang Forest?】

【The second time I gambled on a beast, I got a Green Kitten. Everyone, come and get some good luck!】

...

In addition to purchasing pet beasts at the Beast Base, there are also various ways to obtain them, such as through the black market, gambling, and the wild.

The origins of pet beasts obtained from the black market are unclear. As long as you can afford it, they can somehow get you any kind of pet beast.

Gambling on beasts is based on luck. If you're not careful, you might lose everything, even your underwear.

Going to the wild to find contractable pet beasts is something that only Beast Tamers of at least D-level proficiency would do.

After all, there is a high possibility of encountering danger in the wild, and taming extraordinary creatures is not easy, even if you manage to form a contract with them.

None of these three options are currently viable for him.

Zhan Wei sighed. Although he had many ideas, he really didn't have many choices.

...

...

8:26 PM in the evening.

Zhan Wei closed the computer and glanced at the time, feeling a bit surprised.

At this hour, his mother still hadn't called him for dinner. Could she be really angry?

He decided to go to the living room to check. Just as he got up, he thought about it and grabbed a copy of "Chronicles of Beast Mastery II" from the bookshelf.

Opening the door, the living room was not lit, pitch black.

His mother was unexpectedly not there.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and confirmed that his mother was not in the bedroom either.

He turned on the lights in the living room, casually throwing "Chronicles of Beast Mastery II" on the nearby sofa, and took out a box of matcha ice cream from the refrigerator.

Just as he sat down, turning on the TV and crossing his legs...

"Click."

The door opened.

Zhan Wei turned his head and their eyes met.

"..."

There was a brief silence in the air.

"Come and eat." His mother raised an eyebrow and placed the bought food on the dining table.

So, his mother had gone out to buy food...

"Here I come." Zhan Wei looked at the matcha ice cream in his hand, which he had just taken a bite of, and, adhering to the principle of not wasting, took another bite.

"Mom, why did you go out to buy food today?" Zhan Wei approached the dining table.

"I had some errands to run and didn't have time to cook, so I bought something on the way." His mother spoke up.

Zhan Wei asked, "What kind of errands?"

His mother remained silent for a moment, " Zhan Wei, let's move to a new house."

Zhan Wei froze, even his eating came to a halt, and he asked in confusion, "Why do we need to move to a new house?"

As the provincial capital of Zhehai Province, Hanggang City had outrageously high housing prices.

This house was initially bought by his father's family as a wedding gift for him, taking advantage of the time when housing prices weren't so high.

Although Qingcheng Jiayuan, where they currently lived, wasn't in the most expensive area of Zanggang City, it had a good location with nearby schools and subway stations, costing over 50,000 yuan per square meter.

After taking a bite of food and swallowing it, his mother glanced at Zhan Wei and after a moment, she continued, "I just went out and asked the real estate agent. Our current house is 133 square meters, and the current market price is around 53,000 yuan per square meter. We can sell it for over 7 million Alliance coins."

"I've thought it through. We can buy a smaller house, pay a down payment, and use the remaining money to buy you a Bubble Ring. There will still be a lot left."

"And besides, your mother can still work to earn money. Apart from moving to a smaller house, there won't be much change."

Zhan Wei was dumbfounded.

In just a few hours, his mother made such a big decision without consulting him.

"Mom..." he murmured, trying to say something.

His mother interrupted him directly, "Although your grades are not good, you have self-awareness and talent."

"Our family may not be particularly wealthy, but if you want a certain type of pet, your mom can get it for you."

"Only if you promise me that you won't neglect it like you do with your studies. You have to take good care of it."

Initially, Li Xiangting did not have this idea, but his son expressed a desire for a pet with superpowers.

His son wasn't doing well in school, but his self-awareness indicated that he truly had talent in taming beasts.

Their family had never had a child with self-awareness before.

Since that's the case, buying an expensive but promising pet that he also liked wouldn't hurt.

This was something a mother should do.

Zhang Wei couldn't describe the emotions in his heart. All he knew was that he wanted to savor the lingering warmth of the matcha ice cream he hadn't finished eating.

He looked into his mother's eyes and smiled, "Mom, you said I have self-awareness and talent. With that, I can cultivate any kind of pet."

"I was just joking, I don't want to sign any contracts for a Bubble Bell. Please don't sell the house."

His mother stood up and poured a cup of water, pausing for a moment. "I know you want a Bubble Bell, you are autonomous..."

Zhan Wei didn't let her finish her sentence and said seriously, "I researched all afternoon and evening, and I think Fire Fang Dog is a good choice. I want it."

Bubble bell's attribute is in the superpower category, so it's naturally good.

There are also dragon-type pets, fairy-type pets, and ghost-type pets that are also good choices.

But Zhan Wei just felt that they were rare and powerful, and not necessarily something he needed to possess.

Just like some people enjoy fantasizing about starting with a divine beast.

Having a pet within her own capabilities, one that belongs to his.

That's what he wanted.
