Beast Tamer: My pet can be reincarnated

Night fell.

Deep in the forest farm, there was a strange sound like the crowing of an ape emanating from Dan. Seeing how Fruit and Cherry had become plump and gained 3 pounds in just one afternoon, Dan was wide-eyed with excitement during dinner. He was so thrilled that he filled his stomach and hovered around Fruit and Cherry, exclaiming with surprise and joy, as his hands moved excitedly up and down.

If this were someone else, Chris might have run over to turn him in, then called the police to report him on charges of inappropriate conduct with animals.

There are spirit beasts with body shapes close to humans, and some top-level spirit beasts can even transform into human forms. It's said that humanoid spirit beasts are quite similar to humans, although there is obvious species isolation.

However, there are always some peculiar individuals among humans who are attracted to these differences. The greater the difference, the more they are drawn to them. While this may be rare, within the entire federation, you could catch a few thousand of such individuals.

Holding a takeout fast food box for supper while sitting on a small stool, Chris watched Dan inspect Fruit and Cherry, observe, and record data. Fruit and Cherry were very cooperative, having been accustomed to observation studies before.

Once Chris finished his takeout dinner, Dan had almost completed his data collection.

At this moment, Dan was satisfied and felt that Chris had made good use of the funds.

Unaware that Chris had left with Fruit and Cherry, Dan continued to sort out the data.

Chris rode a bicycle, pedaling leisurely as Fruit and Cherry ran alongside. This wasn't special training, just some digestion after a meal. After all, Fruit and Cherry had eaten well, developed quickly, and needed to exercise for digestion.

As for Chris, the beastmaster? Isn't cycling a form of exercise too?

Of course! Please don't apply double standards!

Once Fruit and Cherry were completely tired, Chris put the two little ones in the front basket of the bike.

Then it was time to do the right thing. Chris stood up and pedaled, riding towards the most majestic and immense building on the south side of Skytown.

That huge building was the branch of the Beastmaster Association in Skytown. Chris was headed there to register and update his information, as well as to purchase a beast space device.

The original plan was to go the next day, but Chris couldn't wait, eager with the excitement of a newcomer who had just become a beastmaster.

Speaking of beast space devices.

As a beastmaster, there are often needs to travel, whether to carry out tasks for the Beastmaster Association, collect field resources, or attend to other personal matters.

In this way, a small number of spirit beasts with small bodies can be carried around. However, it becomes troublesome when dealing with large-bodied or poisonous spirit beasts.

Can you imagine a beastmaster going out with a massive entourage? It's a safety hazard no matter how you think about it.

Thus, beast space devices were invented to meet market demand.

The principle of the beast space device involves using precious space-attributed treasures, combining them with mature spiritual lithography technology and other extraordinary spirit beast technologies, to create a sealed space where spirit beasts can survive. This is also known as an artificial secret realm, anchored onto something that can be carried. This allows the beastmaster to load their contracted spirit beast and carry it with them.

...

From afar, it's still impressive.

At a certain angle, the size of the building represents the influence of this organization.

It's conceivable how powerful the Beastmaster Association is. This is just a town-level branch, not to mention the city-level and national-level ones.

Chris coasted on his bike, which wobbled slightly left and right, as Fruit and Cherry sat in the basket, making happy noises.

Leaving the suburbs where the farm is located, riding on the streets of the town under streetlights, Chris felt a sense of belonging. Derived from memories of his past life, he felt a mix of envy and admiration, watching people with their spirit beasts, smiling and walking together on the road. Humans and spirit beasts living in harmony was a beautiful picture, and his heart overflowed with joy.

This world is truly remarkable! Spirit beasts and the greatness of beastmasters!

Finally, after a half-hour ride, Chris arrived at the Beastmaster Association in Skytown.

Parking his bike in the designated area, he stood close in front of the Association, looking up. Chris felt a sense of the world's vastness and his own smallness.

Without further ado, Chris entered, with Fruit and Cherry waddling behind on their short legs.

Seeing Chris enter, a female staff member wearing the civilian uniform of the Beastmaster Association immediately approached.

The female staff was accompanied by a small to medium-sized canine spirit beast, about half a meter tall and furry, also wearing a uniform styled after the Beastmaster Association. Notably, it had an ID card hanging around its neck.

[Spirit Beast Name]: Golden Sun Fur Dog

[Name]: Goldie

[Gender]: ♂

[Position]: Deputy Minister of Security, Skytown Beastmaster Association

[Attributes]: Fire

[Race]: Animal, Canine

[Bloodline Potential]: Handsome (Lower Class)

[Strength]: Level 4, Stage 7

[Skills]: Confidentiality

[Attention!!]: Please respect the authority of the Beastmaster, and for those with children, please manage them properly. Do not touch my head without permission, or you may be taken to the security room for detention!

The above was the information on the ID card. Chris raised an eyebrow as he read it.

Previously, Chris had never been to the Beastmaster Association or seen the deputy minister of security. It seems this furry minister is newly appointed.

Can you believe that even dogs are climbing the ranks these days?

Well, this Golden Sun Fur Dog is indeed newly appointed. As for why a spirit beast can rise in rank, that's due to the recently updated spirit beast bill by the Federation, which contains extensive content not detailed here.

The purpose of the Golden Sun Fur Dog here is to deter newcomers to the Beastmaster profession. After all, this time of year is the graduation and awakening season, and there will be a large number of new beastmasters. There will always be some newcomers who are not careful or who want a quick rise and contract spirit beasts with relatively high potential but arrogant personalities. Although they may successfully contract them, they lack the ability to tame them, leading to issues.

The Golden Sun Fur Dog took a serious look at Chris and those following him. At this moment, due to its deterrence, Fruit and Cherry hid behind Chris's calf.

Whispering softly, the Golden Sun Fur Dog nodded, then turned away and lay on its exclusive kennel's soft bed.

Sending off her golden-haired colleague, the female staff member sighed, restraining the urge to ruffle her colleague's dog head.

"Excuse me, Mr. Beastmaster, is there anything I can help you with?" The female staff asked, regaining her composure.

"I'm here to register and update my beastmaster information."

Taking his gaze off the Golden Sun Fur Dog in the distance, Chris answered naturally.

"Okay, sir, please follow me."

The female staff gestured for Chris to follow and led the way.

Following the female staff, Chris came to a small workshop of about ten square meters, with another staff member, a man, sitting inside. Such an independent workshop prevents others from overhearing the personal and spirit beast information being registered and updated.

"Name, age, nationality, rank of beastmaster, and specific strength of your contracted spirit beast."

The male staff took a look at Chris and directly asked the questions without the intention of exchanging greetings.

Hearing Chris mention that his initial contract spirit beasts were two Patchy Leaves, the staff glanced at Chris without surprise.

Although the situation of having two initial contracted spirit beasts is extremely rare, it is not unheard of. There are always a few each year, whether they are true geniuses from affluent families with strong defensive beast talents or others who are less fortunate. The staff wasn't curious unless Chris achieved greater achievements and made news, prompting him to brag to colleagues about having processed Chris's registration. However, he lacks the authority to do so.

"Okay, Mr. Chris, your information has been registered and updated."

"According to the association's rules, you will receive a registration reward."

"Based on your current level and the contracted beasts, you will receive a registration reward of 20,000 Star Rock Coins, which will be credited to your bank account within the next hour."

"Additionally, your master's new gift package will be delivered to the address you provided within 1 to 3 working days, and you will be contacted by phone. Please ensure you sign for it in time."

The male staff continued formally.

Chris nodded, wondering what his new gift package would contain. Although he concealed the true effect of his reincarnation talent, even a skill master is considered a small genius, so the Beastmaster Association should provide something noteworthy.

The male staff typed on the keyboard, filled out all the information, and printed a list. He also produced a legal beastmaster ID on-site using the machine, based on Chris's registered information.

After taking the registration form handed by the staff, quickly verifying its accuracy, Chris placed it in his backpack and secured the beastmaster ID, turning with Fruit and Cherry to leave.

...

It was already 8 PM, and Chris didn't rush back because he still needed to purchase something—the beast space device. This item could only be purchased after initial registration with the Beastmaster Association. Otherwise, Chris would have bought it earlier.

About a ten-minute walk from the service area was the internal business district of the Beastmaster Association.

There were various stores selling durable goods, daily food rations, training nutrients, weight-bearing props, spiritual ornaments, books related to beast mastery, and more. Almost everything related to beast mastery could be found here.

Chris found a shop specializing in the sale of beast space devices called Berkinga, a mid-to-high-end brand store specializing in beast space devices.

Seeing Chris enter the door, a lively and charming female attendant in a business suit immediately greeted him, very enthusiastic, with an attitude much better than the staff at the registration hall earlier. This was expected; the staff of the Beastmaster Association are salaried employees, while the female attendant, though working for the association, is not a member but a sales employee.

The female attendant offered Chris a glass of water and began to introduce him to the shop.

In fact, for Chris, the female attendant was more attentive than she was with other customers, not because Chris was handsome, but because she could tell from his attire and demeanor that Chris wasn't from an ordinary background. Even if not wealthy, he wasn't short on money. This was a rich young master! He wouldn't be like other newcomers who come to the store to look at everything but end up buying the cheapest, low-level goods.

This one was different. He was a big spender! Her performance for the month was secured!

"Mr. Beastmaster, may I have your name?"

"Chris Smith."

"Well, Mr. Smith, please follow me."

The female attendant led Chris up to the second floor, bypassing the beast space devices on the first floor without further introduction.

Chris didn't mind; he wasn't interested in the low-level goods on the first floor.

There are various types of beast space devices: card-type, ball-type, watch-style, necklace, ring-type, and more. They can even be customized according to preferences. The external style isn't the key to a beast space device; the key is the size of the space and other functions related to the spirit beast. Based on these, beast space devices are divided into five levels.

The first-level, lowest-level beast space device has a narrow and empty sealed space, suitable only for small spirit beasts to rest and sleep, priced between 5,000 to 10,000 Star Rock Coins.

The second-level device has a divided rest space, with areas specifically for beast activities, along with small toys to keep them entertained, priced between 10,000 and 100,000 Star Rock Coins.

The third-level device offers a larger internal space with aura treatment, healing injuries to a certain extent. For life-threatening injuries, it automatically freezes the beast, priced between 100,000 and 400,000 Star Rock Coins.

The fourth-level device includes all previous features but in enhanced versions. It allows spirit beasts to absorb and convert energy like the outside world and purifies natural energy through filtration, improving the efficiency of energy absorption. The price ranges from 500,000 to 1 million Star Rock Coins.

The fifth-level device is an exclusive custom model, priced over 1 million, with no cap. It is customized based on the beastmaster's needs, the contracted spirit beast's attributes, and an internal environment most conducive to its growth, almost indistinguishable from the outside world. It can even be better, given the difficulty of finding suitable environments like those for dragons, phoenixes, and kirins.

If money wasn't an issue, Chris would naturally opt for the best advanced beast space device, avoiding frequent upgrades.

If not considering exclusive customization, then the fourth-level beast space device was the choice.

Chris made a round and fancied three models.

A watch, a necklace, and a belt, priced at 800,000, 500,000, and 650,000 Star Rock Coins, respectively. The specific differences were in the size of the internal space and additional auxiliary functions.

The watch was the largest, with the most auxiliary functions and the largest internal space, easily accommodating spirit beasts up to 30 meters tall, covering 99% of known beasts.

"I like these three very much, Fruit, Cherry, help me make the final decision."

Chris left the choice to his two little cuties, after all, they would live in it.

Fruit and Cherry didn't hesitate to point their round fingers at the watch, not because they knew the pros and cons, but because they could sense through the contract that Chris had a strong preference for the watch's beast space device over the other two. However, Chris was embarrassed to say so.

Realizing the situation, Chris blushed awkwardly, as Fruit and Cherry saw through him. He really preferred the watch.

Firstly, because it's handsome!

Secondly, because it's stylish! Super invincible!

With a silver and medieval mechanical sci-fi style, it blends future sci-fi materials with medieval mechanical design. The two styles merge perfectly, and it can even project a virtual screen and integrate phone functions.

However, its huge internal space was somewhat wasteful for Chris at the moment. Spending all his money on this would stretch the cultivation funds for Fruit and Cherry, and they might soon miss the luxurious treatment they've grown accustomed to.

Fruit and Cherry, currently at the IQ level of a three or four-year-old human, didn't understand the complexities. They only sensed the mood swings from the beast contract. Chris really liked that watch.

So, the two little cuties hugged Chris's calf and whined, shaking Chris's resolve.

Chris gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Since you like it, let's buy it!"

"Money can be earned again. If you miss something you like, it's gone forever!"

The female attendant beside him couldn't stop grinning, her eyes nearly disappearing with joy.

The big order was completed, and the bonus was secured!
