The first pet beast contracted by my mother was the Little Fat Pigeon, and Chubby Pigeon is its evolved form.
As a Flight Type pet beast, it flew slower than other Flight Types due to its chubby body.
It was a popular choice for rookie Beast Tamers solely because it could evolve into the powerful Stout Stat Owl, becoming a General-level Pet Beast.
The White Sand Fox had a strong attack but weak defense, not lasting long once hit.
Burrow Rats naturally excelled at digging and evading, preferring to avoid head-on confrontations.
Deep Hair Turtle couldn't swim like normal turtles, but its defense was still strong.
The White Sand Fox, Burrow Rat, and Deep Hair Turtle were all Earth Series Pet Beasts, which is why people often compared them.
But the White Sand Fox's looks crushed the other two, making it the top choice for female rookie Beast Tamers.
The Short-tail Snake belonged to the Poison Series, with venomous fangs and a dangerous spike on its tail, granting it impressive combat abilities from the start.
But a Beast Tamer who contracted it might find themselves in the hospital if they weren't careful.
Without exceptional physical strength, few rookie Beast Tamers dared to contract it.
Qiao Sang looked for a long time but couldn't decide, these five pet beasts had their flaws, but the fact that they were affordable with safe evolutionary paths was an undeniable advantage.
Ultimately, it was a matter of money.
Qiao Sang stood up and left the room.
Her mother was sitting on the couch, watching television.
Qiao Sang said, "Mom, do we have a million? I want to buy a Bubblebell."
"Get lost."
"Alrighty!"
Qiao Sang returned to her room and continued browsing the forum.
[Is it safe for a D-rank Beast Tamer to venture into the Chimpang Forest?]
[Hit a Green Meowmeow on my second pet gamble, everyone come absorb the luck!]
...
Aside from purchasing pet beasts at the Pet Beast Base, one could also use other means like the Black Market, pet gambling, or wild encounters to acquire pet beasts.
Pet beasts from the Black Market had dubious origins; as long as you had the money, they could get any kind of pet beast for you.
Gambling on pets was a matter of luck, with one slip-up potentially costing one's entire fortune, even down to their underwear.
Searching for pet beasts to contract in the wild was something only experienced Beast Tamers, at least those who were D-rank, would do.
After all, the chances of danger in the wild were extremely high, and extraordinary creatures had a wild nature that was difficult to train, even if contracted.
None of these options were feasible for her now.
Qiao Sang sighed, although she had many ideas, her choices were truly limited.
...
...
It was 8:26 PM.
Qiao Sang shut down the computer, surprised at the time.
It was unusual for her mother not to have called her for dinner by now. She wasn't really angry, was she?
She got up to check the living room, but just to be cautious, she took a copy of "Beast Taming Chronicles II" from the bookshelf.
She opened the door to her room to find the living room dark and unlit, without her mother in sight.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and confirmed her mother was not in the bedroom either.
She turned on the living room light, casually tossed "Beast Taming Chronicles II" on the nearby sofa, and took out a box of matcha ice cream from the refrigerator.
She had just turned on the TV and sat down cross-legged when,
"Click."
