Beast Tamer: I Can See Evolution Paths

Felter: *Stubborn*

Being smacked on the head is okay. Because he can still run while covering his head with both hands.

But the stylish and cool accessories cannot be missing.

He wants to match the art style of his little companions.

Aria and Luna walked on either side of Asher. The three of them walked side by side, neither fast nor slow, watching the back view of Felter running at the front, stopping and starting as he went.

They couldn't help but let out sighs of emotion.

"Really trying hard."

"Yeah."

"A bit pitiful."

As they spoke, the three looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"But Asher, you're really good at training pet beasts," After laughing, Luna's gaze lingered on Little Raven.

Just like how Aria was interested in Asher's water-attributed little white snake, Luna was also very interested in Asher's Little Raven.

Little Raven, a fire-attributed pet beast, had strong strength.

Most importantly, it also seemed to have a very good temperament.

The attribute of a pet beast doesn't directly determine its temperament, but it does have some influence.

Fire, thunder, and fighting attributes, these more aggressive beasts, even after being contracted, still tend to be especially irritable and harder to tame.

Water, wood, and wind attributes, these beasts are relatively easier to tame after contracting, and won't just start fighting with the Beast Tamer for no reason.

Luna: 'Really doesn't want to recall the early days of contracting with Molten Fire, fighting with it three times a day.'

'It was truly the painful mask.'

Even now, thinking back on it still gives her a headache.

Thinking about how she'll have to contract four fire-attributed pet beasts in the future, 'Hmm, suddenly the future seems pitch black.'

Luna looked at Asher, trying to learn a bit of experience from him.

After all, Little Raven really does look so obedient.

If she could learn even a little from Asher, her future pet training would go much more smoothly.

"...What silly thing are you saying," Under Luna's expectant gaze, Asher calmly glanced at her and said mercilessly, "Where did you see that Little Raven is especially obedient?"

'Is such a thing possible?'

'Impossible, don't dream.'

Of Little Raven's 6 kg of weight, 5.9 is rebellion, the remaining 0.1 is feather weight.

Luna choked on Asher's overly blunt words. She looked at Little Raven, then again at Little Raven, her gaze full of doubt.

'But doesn't it look very obedient? It clearly looks like a well-behaved and obedient type.'

"Heh," Understanding Luna's look, Asher let out a cold laugh. With a frosty face he said, "Guess why I came out today in this outfit."

"You think it was voluntary?"

Luna: "..."

Good question.

When Asher and Felter were discussing this topic, the two sisters hadn't arrived yet.

Looking at it now... hmm, Asher really doesn't look like it was voluntary.

Looking once more at the seemingly well-behaved Little Raven and Cat-Worm, somehow Luna felt much more balanced inside.

What is the most painful thing in the world?

It's not that your own pet isn't obedient.

It's that only your own pet isn't obedient.

Knowing that others' pets are the same, Luna felt a lot better.

Asher fell silent and rolled his eyes at Luna.

'So you're finding your sense of balance from me, huh?'

That said, the atmosphere between the few of them was still quite good, except for Felter up ahead.

If possible, Asher, Aria, and Luna all didn't really want to admit they came out together with him.

A bit embarrassing.

Pedestrians on the road kept throwing odd glances at Felter, and then turned into understanding expressions.

Asher: "..."

'Really doesn't want to know what exactly they all understood.'

Fortunately, after making a fuss for half the way, the Golden Armored Wyvern finally accepted the reality that it had an idiot Beast Tamer.

Golden Armored Wyvern: "ROAR!"

The Golden Armored Wyvern hovered above Felter's head like a huge dark cloud.

It had just accepted reality.

It was absolutely not scared by that bird next to it.

'Absolutely not!'

Asher: (￢_￢)

Little Raven: (￢_￢)

Cat-Worm: (￢_￢)

Fine, they'll just pretend they believe it.

After entering the Trading Street, Asher was surprised to discover that his current outfit didn't stir up any waves here.

Compared to Asher's left-holding Yellow and right-carrying Blue...

Neither Felter, who was forced to have a dark cloud over his head, nor the beautiful flower sisters Aria and Luna, could attract as much attention as Asher's Little Raven and Cat-Worm.

What? Two obedient pet beasts following beside their Beast Tamer?

Heh! They've long been used to it.

Standing at the entrance of Trading Street, looking around, out of ten people at least five or six had several pet beasts of various numbers following them.

From tiny foxes and lion cubs, to mid-sized Scarlet Flame Dogs and Gale Leopards, to large Hurricane Eagles, Snow Wolves, Thunderfang Tigers, etc. etc... all kinds imaginable.

So many species.

So many categories.

Far beyond Asher's imagination.

What Asher didn't expect even more was that he even saw Fairy Butterflies and Fire Fox Queens here.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses.

Thinking about it carefully.

It's actually not that surprising.

After all, the new evolution routes for these two beasts had already been public for over a year.

After initial exploration, with all conditions matching between Beast Tamers and their pet beasts, and with the right financial means, there would naturally be successful evolutions.

And this is Clove City.

The closest to Star City, the closest place to the nation's capital.

Asher couldn't help but feel a little happier.

"Feels like you're a little happy?", Aria next to him sharply sensed the slight uplift in Asher's emotions. She turned her head curiously toward him.

Asher chuckled and said, "Yeah, kind of."

"Hmm... Seeing your own hard work being valued by others, it really does make your mood better," As he spoke, Asher nodded.

'Yes, that's exactly the feeling.'

"Speaking of which, I've actually never been that focused on pet beast evolution research," Asher said with a calm and airy tone, as if talking about what to eat today.

Luna and Felter at the side couldn't help but cast glances toward Asher.

Their gazes carried... hmm, hard-to-describe emotions.

Asher didn't really notice. He was still immersed in his own feelings.

"New evolution routes and such, once the research is done, it's considered finished. I haven't really paid much attention to the aftermath."

"But seeing people choose these evolution routes now, hmm...", Asher paused for a moment, then nodded.

"My mood really does feel a bit different."

Aria felt an urge to roll her eyes.

Aria took a deep breath, using her strong willpower to suppress the impulse to roll her eyes.

'Stay calm. Stay calm. There'll be times to ask him for help later.'

"The words you just said really deserve a beating," After calming down for a long time, Aria still failed to calm down.

Aria felt that this wasn't her fault.

Asher also needed to reflect on himself a bit. How exactly did he manage to say something so ridiculous out loud!

Luna: 'Support!'

"Mm...", Felter rubbed his chin. After thinking for a moment, he nodded solemnly, "Alright, although I've always thought it's fine for you, Asher, to be a beast tamer..."

"But hearing what you just said, I also think you really deserve a beating."

At this moment.

Rarely, Felter and Aria and Luna stood on the same front.

All for the sake of jointly condemning Asher.

Asher shrugged, indifferent.

He was merely sincerely, honestly, expressing his truest thoughts.

Why did all his friends seem like they were enduring him with gritted teeth?

Asher felt that his friends also needed to reflect on themselves.

Anyway, the four of them entered the area of the Trade Street together.

The reason why Trade Street had this name was also because of this long, endless street as far as the eye could see.

On both sides of the wide road were all sorts of temporary stalls.

The middle part was left wide open for beast tamers walking with their pet beasts.

It was shocking.

Also... very crowded.

Although the street was wide, it couldn't hold back the sheer number of people and beasts, all squeezed together in a bustling mess.

Asher's ears were surrounded by rough, sharp, penetrating... various cries of pet beasts.

Then came the strange mixed smell.

Emitted from the pet beasts, though just a little bit, during normal battles one wouldn't notice it at all.

But when many pet beasts were gathered together... the smell became thick and somewhat dizzying.

Also the decomposed parts of beasts on both sides of the stalls.

Even after washing, there was still a faint bloody smell, or the scent from the beasts.

Not to mention some herbs and the like.

Bits and pieces.

After mixing together, the smell became truly exaggerated.

Seeing Asher's steps pause at the entrance of Trade Street, Aria, who had taken a step forward, immediately realized what was going on.

She chuckled.

"Mini air purifier, disposable," Luna also smiled and pulled out a small, square object that could be clipped to the collar from the little satchel she carried.

Asher took it.

While doing so, he glanced at the other three.

All very naturally pulled out the same mini air purifier from their own pockets.

"Learned something today, learned something," Asher nodded repeatedly.

Going out often means learning often.

After putting on the mini air purifier, the unpleasant smell instantly disappeared, and a faint, sweet fragrance lingered at the tip of Asher's nose.

He couldn't quite tell what it was.

'Kind of like the scent of tea?'

That wasn't important.

The group could finally continue walking forward.

Since they weren't out with the intention to buy anything specific, the four walked and stopped like strolling through a market, occasionally looking at interesting things on the stalls.

Aria and Luna, the sisters, weren't new to Trade Street, so they weren't as interested as outsiders might be.

Compared to shopping, their top priority was making Asher feel welcome.

They followed by Asher's side, and whenever they saw him interested in something, they would seriously help him chat with the stall owners.

Three stalls in a row went like that.

The beast tamers from the exploration teams running those stalls looked at Asher with increasingly strange expressions.

Girls! And two of them? Clearly twins and both extremely beautiful.

Moreover, they seemed to have a very good relationship with Asher, what kind of harem-novel scene was this.

The guy in the middle even wore a baseball cap and large sunglasses that covered half his face, clearly someone whose looks couldn't be seen in public.

Jealousy, envy, hate, all those emotions nearly spilled over.

Asher/Pretty Boy: "..."

'Alright then, this is the burden a strong man have to bear.'

He was already used to it.

Let them think whatever they want.

Instead, it was Felter, who accidentally got roped in on the side, wearing an extremely uncomfortable expression.

"Relax a little," Aria glanced at Felter, who was twisting and turning like ants were crawling on him.

Luna nodded in agreement and teased, "Enjoy it. Doesn't it feel great to go out with two beauties?"

Felter: "No! Absolutely not!"

Seeing this, Aria and Luna laughed even more brightly.

It wasn't like they held any grudge against Felter.

They just genuinely found his allergic reaction to girls funny from the bottom of their hearts.

"Look at Asher, how relaxed he is," Aria and Luna both looked over at Asher at the same time.

Asher: *Pretends not to hear*

'Ahem!'

Asher's eyes darted around. He didn't want to discuss this topic, nor did he want to go into detail about how exactly he got used to this sort of thing.

His gaze swept across the stalls to his left and right.

He wished he could stare a flower out of those colorful energy crystals representing different attributes.

This poison-attribute energy crystal looked like it was of a high grade.

Ask the price.

Two million five hundred thousand?

Just asking, did he look like a 250?

Ignoring the stall owner's voice behind saying they could lower the price by ten thousand.

Asher stood up and turned to leave.

Then his gaze shifted to another stall.

He came here to take a look and browse around, not to be a sucker.

At the stall next door, Asher found some good ores and rare medicinal materials. After asking the price and finding it acceptable, Asher didn't even haggle and decisively pulled out his bank card.

"Swipe it," Asher casually uttered two words.

"Boss is generous!", After calculating the total of Asher's selected goods, eight million five hundred ten thousand, the stall owner, who initially thought the deal might fall through, saw Asher decisively pull out his bank card, the stall owner gave Asher a thumbs up with an expression of righteousness.

Then, showing the hand speed of a man who had been single for countless years, he whipped out the card machine and swiped through the process in just a few moves.

He couldn't wait to close this deal immediately.

Doing business wasn't easy. Especially with so many competing stalls nearby.

And the prices of beast resources weren't exactly cheap.
