After carefully observing and evaluating these beasts, Xia Xiu began to choose based on his preference for strength and the practicality of the beasts.

He selected these beasts as a strength party. The staff has explained in detail before that all these beasts have bronze qualifications. This rating is conducted by the Mayflower Foundation based on a series of standards.

These standards include the intelligence level of the beast master, the potential for skeletal development, and the difficulty and practicality of skill use.

The Mayflower Foundation's evaluation is very strict to ensure that the classification of each beast is fair and reasonable.

Among the five beasts in front of him, Xia Xiu quickly eliminated No. 4 and No. 5. Their characteristic of relying on specific environments to achieve maximum effectiveness made him feel that it would be difficult to make full use of them in the ever-changing adventure environment.

Now, he directly narrowed down his choices to the top three beasts.

Thinking of this, let go of part of your spirituality and chat with the hope sitting on your shoulders.

Hope floated on her shoulders, and "Desire" among the seven seals appeared in her hand again.

Among the seven Crimson Alices, the eager [Mr. White Rabbit Module] is undoubtedly the best beast-controlling magic. As the integration of the seven seals, Hope naturally inherited this talent.

"Hope, which one do you think I should choose among these three?" Xia Xiu asked, his eyes wandering between the Wind Shadow Cat, Electric Rat and Mud Pig, trying to find inspiration from Hope's answer.

Hope, this elf who has inherited the "desire" among the seven seals of Crimson Alice, slowly appears in her hand the mark of Mr. White Rabbit's module - this is a symbol of her ability, representing her ability in the magic of beast control.

of extraordinary talents.

As the light figure of hope floated silently in front of the three beasts, these young creatures seemed to feel an unusual aura and began to become restless. Their small movements gradually increased, their tiny hooves and

The claws gently hit the transparent capsule wall, making a clear knocking sound.

This sudden movement surprised the staff on the side. He hurriedly operated the console next to him and activated the stabilizing device in an attempt to restore calm to these little guys.

But Hope apparently had different plans.

As the mark appeared, her expression also changed slightly; her original innocent face was gradually replaced by a kind of awe-inspiring coldness, and her purple eyes were deep and mysterious, as if she could see into the innermost thoughts of these living beings.

at.

She gently raised her hand and hovered over the three beasts. This simple action seemed to have some special meaning in the world of beasts. The wind shadow cat, electric rat and mud pig stopped almost at the same time.

To resist, their small bodies no longer bumped against the capsule, but slowly and respectfully crawled down, neatly arranged at the bottom of the capsule. Their behavior was like knights showing loyalty to the queen in the palace.

This strange scene left the staff dumbfounded. He had never seen a beast show such a remarkable reaction in the face of such a subtle power.

On the other side, Hope showed a thoughtful expression on her pretty little face, and then she replied:

"If you consider spirituality and future potential, I recommend choosing the Wind Shadow Cat. It is not only agile, but also has strong adaptability to the environment. Even though the activation conditions are somewhat technical, it has huge potential and is very suitable for your fighting style.

.At the same time, the growth and flexibility of the Wind Shadow Cat will also be a great help in your adventure."

"Then choose it."

The blond young man nodded slightly, his eyes focused on the agile and alert young Shadow Cat.

He stretched out his finger and clearly pointed at the little beast, and made it clear to the staff,

"Just choose it."

The staff responded immediately, "I understand."

He quickly operated the console and gently transferred the Wind Shadow Cat into a special safety capsule.

Subsequently, the staff introduced the necessary security and authentication steps to Xia Xiu.

"Please press your fingerprint here, and then you will be asked to complete some biometric authentication and set a security password."

He explained the operation process in detail to ensure that Xia Xiu understood the importance of every link.

Xia Xiu followed the instructions, lightly pressing his finger on the sensitive sensor and entering the password he chose.

These steps not only enhance security, but also ensure a private connection to the beast so that others cannot freely manipulate or access his beast.

After completing all the necessary certifications, the staff handed Xia Xiu a breeding manual and detailed rules for animal control.

"These are guidelines on how to take good care of your Windshadow cat, as well as suggestions for its diet, training and daily care."

Holding the capsule and related documents, Xia Xiu lightly tossed the capsule containing the Wind Shadow Cat in his palm, then turned to the front desk staff and asked with a smile:

"I also need some empty capsules, do you sell them here?"

After the staff member heard this request, his service attitude improved significantly, and his face was filled with a warm smile. He quickly took out a detailed product catalog from behind the counter and began to introduce the available capsules to Xia Xiu

combo:

"We have empty capsule packages provided by the Mayflower Foundation, as well as preferential packages from local consortiums. Each package includes a different number of empty capsules, as well as some additional accessories and services."

Xia Xiu browsed the catalog carefully, his eyes switching between various options, and finally settled on a special package - the 648 package.

Spending money makes people strong, so he chose to spend more money.

"I want four sets of 648 packages."

The staff worked quickly, skillfully packed the required empty capsules and other accessories neatly, and then handed them to Xia Xiu.

After completing the purchase, Xia Xiu walked out of the Adventurer Service Center with several packages filled with empty capsules, and left the Adventurer Service Center in Island City amid the smiling faces and warm farewells of the staff.

Island City.

Just a few steps away from Mille Lacs, there is a popular hotel, the Lakeside Lookout.

It is a gathering place for tourists and adventurers, especially out-of-towners keen to explore the rich natural landscape of the State of Thousand Lakes.

Due to its privileged location, the hotel's windows and balconies offer direct views of the vast waters of Lake Mille Lacs and the chiseled forest beyond.

At this moment, as the sun sets, the entire island city is quickly engulfed by night. Short days and long nights are the norm here, especially in winter, when nights come earlier, bringing longer periods of coldness and darkness.

In the luxurious hotel room, warm yellow light shines on the soft and silky white bed.

"Meow~"

On the bed, a young cat was rolling lively on the soft quilt, making a series of crisp meows from time to time.

The kitten is covered with fine hair, and its agile limbs move quickly on the bed, occasionally stopping and waving its paws curiously, as if catching dust particles in the air.

Opposite, an elf the size of a keychain was suspended in the air, flying lightly above the kitten.

Her long purple hair fluttered gently with her movements, and there was a mischievous light in her purple eyes. She seemed to be using her magic or some kind of invisible thread to control a small stuffed animal, causing the kitten to chase her on the bed.

Jumping, the two create a cheerful atmosphere in the room.

On the other side of the room, a blond young man sat quietly on a white leather sofa. His attire was simple and neat, and a white shirt made his skin tone even fairer.

He held a cup of hot coffee lightly in his right hand, and from time to time he would gently put the edge of the cup to his lips, taking sips to taste the heat and richness inside.

The steaming hot air and cold air meet at the mouth of the cup, as if telling the cold outside and the warmth inside.

In his left hand, he gently held a local newspaper. The newspaper marked various upcoming competitions and fishing activities in the island city. The map in the newspaper was carefully marked with an "X" symbol with a red water-based pen. Each one was marked with an "X" symbol.

"X" represents a noteworthy competition location or important information point. Obviously, he has carefully planned his next trip, and prepared detailed inspections and participation for each marked location.

swish swish——

Outside the window, the night in the island city is getting darker, but the lights in the room are soft and warm, in sharp contrast to the cold colors outside. In addition to the occasional sounds of kittens and the playful laughter of elves, there is no room in the room.

Part of the time was filled with the rustling sound of young people reading.

In the warm hotel room, Hope floated lightly, her little hands gently caressing the soft belly of the Wind Shadow Cat.

The young cat seemed to enjoy the attention, turning over leisurely, with its hooves pointing upward, completely relaxing its vigilance, and letting Hope's little hands slide gently over its delicate hair.

The room was filled with an atmosphere of tranquility and harmony, with only the occasional slight sound breaking the silence.

Hope raised her head and looked at Xia Xiu, who was concentrating on the side with her clear purple pupils. He was immersed in the newspaper in his hand, seemingly looking for some important clues or information. He gently interrupted his reading, Hope's voice

With some doubts and curiosity:

"Abraham, can we really investigate clues to the Wendigo and the human body trade through the beast control competition?"

Xia Xiu slowly put down the newspaper, his golden eyes shining deeply under the light, "Any two similar things will most likely form a collusion situation. The foundation of the beast control system is still based on blood rewards.

.”

"Blood reward?" Hope murmured doubtfully.

Xia Xiu responded to Hope's doubts and explained: "Blood rewards refer to the benefits obtained when plundering resources through the use of violent means. This behavior does not create any new wealth in essence, but only transfers it from one group to another.

A group.”

He paused to make sure that he could keep up with his thoughts, and continued: "When the benefits are greater than the costs, violent plunder will occur."

Xia Xiu went on to elaborate on the costs involved: "The first is the conscience cost - the consumption of compassion and sense of justice; the second is the opportunity cost, which involves people weighing the gains and losses among various possible choices, such as using time and energy

engaging in other, more productive activities; then there are the actual expenditures of manpower and material; and finally there are the risks associated with violent confrontation, whether repression, resistance or competition between predators, which can bring casualties."

"Each of these cost and benefit trade-offs can tell a historical story. Violent plunder does not create wealth, but only transfers wealth from one party to another. This leads to a complex and complex relationship between violent plunderers and wealth creators.

Long interactive story.”

"In the opportunity cost, after weighing, there are options such as working hard, selling oneself, and selling things alongside working one's life. People will compare the sacrifices and benefits of blood, sweat, body, and wealth."

Xia Xiu's words seemed calm and profound, and his expression looked extremely serious as he analyzed the complex interest relationships behind the beast control system. He stared at the night outside the window, as if searching for the secrets hidden in the dark. He continued:

"On the surface, the animal control system looks like a pure competition and entertainment, but in fact, it is a huge economic chain, which involves far more funds and resources than we conventionally imagine."
