Chapter 20
Secret
“This is the Beast Taming Illustration.”
With that said, Lin Ye took another out and aimed it at Little Flame in Su Qingqing’s arms.
Then, the information that had only appeared in the system in Lin Ye’s mind previously also appeared on the screen of this machine.
However, the content was somewhat different.
There were no skills or an overview.
Flame Dog
Orange
[Attribute] Fire
[Bloodline] Three-Headed Hellhound
High level one
[Skill] ***
[Overview]***
Looking at the asterisks on the [Skill] and [Overview], Bai Tao couldn’t help but comment.
“Why can’t I see any skills?”
Lin Ye did not speak. Instead, he handed Su Qingqing a blank card.
“This is the Flame Dog, oh, Little Flame’s ‘identity card’. If you insert it into the Beast Taming Illustration, you can see the last two pieces of information.”
Su Qingqing received the card curiously.
As soon as she inserted it into the Beast Taming Illustration in her hand, she saw the information of Little Flame appear.
[Skill] Fireball, Hound Roar
The Flame Dog grows in a volcano and likes high temperatures and hot environments. It has the bloodline of the Three-Headed Hellhound and is of relatively high quality. There’s a chance for it to have the bloodline of the ancestor.
Lin Ye then gave Bai Tao the Poison Beetle’s card and Su Hongcheng the Wind Sparrow’s card.
Then, he continued, “If Little Flame keeps spitting fire or is covered in flames again, you can put it back into the card.
“I can put it in? Into this card?!”
This time, the three of them were really shocked.
Lin Ye nodded.
“Just aim the Beast Taming Illustration at the beast and chant ‘retract’ silently.
Su Qingqing immediately tried.
In the end, Little Flame in her arms really disappeared in a flash.
After the sharp-eyed Bai Tao discovered that Little Flame had disappeared, the figure of Little Flame appeared on the blank card in Su Qingqing’s Beast Taming Illustration.
He immediately said excitedly, “Qingqing, look, Little Flame is on your card!”
Su Qingqing looked down and discovered that this card was exactly the same as the one she had bought from the machine during the day.
When Su Hongcheng saw that the two girls, Bai Tao and Su Qingqing, were only focused on being excited and no longer made any comments, he could not help but ask curiously,
“Then how do we get it out?”
“It’s very simple. Just aim the Beast Taming Illustration at a place that can accommodate beasts and tell it to come out in your mind.”
At this point, Lin Ye could not help but smile.
“Of course, if you want to, you can also mutter something.”
“For example, ‘I choose you, Pikachu!”
“Huh?”
Su Qingqing looked at Lin Ye, who was saying something strange, her big eyes filled with confusion.
Was Shop Owner Lin… suffering from the aftereffects of mental control?
“No, nothing. It was just a small joke.”
Lin Ye quickly changed the topic.
“Other than that, you can also choose to throw the card. This is another way of summoning your beast.
Su Hongcheng, an oldie from the academy, was very puzzled when he heard this rather unnecessary method.
“Um, Shop Owner Lin, may I ask if this method is any different?”
Lin Ye pondered for a moment.
Su Qingqing and Bai Tao also looked at him expectantly.
“It’s just…”
“It’s just cooler to throw it!”
Su Hongcheng was speechless.
Su Qingqing was speechless.
Bai Tao was speechless.
Sensing these three strange gazes, Lin Ye was slightly awkward.
This was something determined by the system. There was nothing he could do!
“Um, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. If you encounter any problems, you can come to the shop to find me.
“By the way, the Flame Dog should be able to advance soon. Su Qingqing, pay attention when you feed it.”
“At that time, you can just put it back into the card.”
Su Qingqing nodded at Lin Ye gratefully.
“Thank you, Shop Owner Lin. You’re really a good person.”
Lin Ye was speechless.
“He didn’t seem to have any grudges with her. Why was she friend-zoning him?
Seeing Lin Ye turn around and leave, Su Hongcheng hesitated for a moment and suddenly stopped him.
“Shop Owner Lin, wait.”
“What’s wrong?”
Su Hongcheng wiped the ring and opened his palm, handing an earthen yellow bead to Lin Ye.
“If Wu Yan comes to find you again, remember to crush this bead immediately. I’ll rush over immediately.”
With that said, he emphasized again, as if he was afraid that Lin Ye did not care about this.
“Remember, you have to crush it the moment you see him. Don’t hesitate.
“Thank you for your beast too. If not for Little Flame, Qingqing might have…
“In short, you can look for me if there’s anything. I’ll definitely ensure your safety.”
Lin Ye looked at the bead and then received it.
It was better not to refuse the kindness of a level six expert.
Moreover, although he was not afraid of Wu Yan’s mental control, he was afraid of physical damage!
With this thing, he could at least save his own life, right?
“Thank you for your kindness, Dean Su.”
Lin Ye called out to Blackie, who had yet to shrink, and brought it into the shop.
Su Hongcheng drove Bai Tao back first.
After Bai Tao left, only the Su father and daughter were left in the car.
In the driver’s seat, Su Hongcheng drove seriously, but there was nothing wrong with his face.
However, Su Qingqing, who knew her father very well, discovered that something was wrong.
Ever since his father saw the thing pierced into Little Flame, he seemed to be often distracted.
After taking it off, he even secretly took a photo with his communicator behind Wu Yan’s back.
Most importantly, Su Qingqing had just remembered that she seemed to have seen something similar when she was young.
It also had a claw-like structure and had three needles, but it was not as exquisite.
“Dad, could it be that you know what’s going on?”
“Ever since Wu Yan arrived, you’ve been acting very strange.
“Moreover, I remember that ever since the Jiangzhou Mutant Academy was established, there have been no mental-type mutants. How do you know so much?”
Hearing his daughter suddenly mention this, Su Hongcheng hesitated for a moment before stepping on the brakes and stopping the car by the roadside.
“You don’t have to worry about mental-type mutants for now. As for that device…
“In the past, the academy conducted research on how to tame those mutated beasts.
“And that device, no, that should be a mutation item. It’s the one that hit Little Flame today.”
Hearing this secret, Su Qingqing looked at her dean father in surprise.
After a while, she was puzzled.
“But… but why is the academy’s research in the hands of the army?”
When Su Hongcheng heard his daughter ask this key question, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel and spoke as if he was enduring something.
“That’s right. The academy’s research—
“Why did it end up in the hands of the army?!
“Why?!”
Looking at her father’s extremely ugly and abnormally pale face, Su Qingqing was shocked.
“Dad!
“W-what’s wrong?”
Looking at his daughter’s concerned eyes, Su Hongcheng heaved a sigh of relief.
“Hu ~
“I’m fine. I just thought of some old matters.
“Let’s go back first. Your mother will worry if you’re late.”
With that said, Su Hongcheng started the car.
