"Class of 3012, Hughes, you have the right to choose a contracted beast for free. Do you want to choose now?"

The staff at the front desk revealed a beautiful smile and said to Hughes.

"Yes, I want to choose now."

Hughes nodded and replied affirmatively.

"Okay, please follow me."

As the staff walked, he spoke to Hughes and Otis, "The demon beasts in the hall are the pups of the demon beasts that are the easiest to contract. You can choose as you like.

"Of course, if you want to choose the demon beast eggs that haven't hatched yet, it's also possible."

"Okay."

Hughes replied casually.

Then, he began to look at the demon beasts in the hall.

Just as he was about to check on a young demon beast in front of him, a voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding ~ detected that the host is selecting contracted demon beasts. Activate the demon beast scanning function.]

[Ding ~ The demon beast scanning function has been successfully activated. Remaining time: 12 hours.]

"Hmm? Demon beast scanning?" Hughes said in his head, puzzled.

However, he quickly became happy, because now he could see the attributes of these demon beasts.

After receiving the ability, Hughes looked around the hall.

Unfortunately, he did not see any demon beasts that he liked.

The demon beast cubs in the hall were mostly ordinary low-level demon beasts and basically did not have much growth ability.

Just like that, after walking around the entire hall, Hughes had two choices in his mind: the steel spike wolf and the multicolored tiger.

The low-level steel spike wolf and the multicolored tiger were the two demon beast cubs with the best growth ability in the entire hall.

Among them, the steel spike wolf was able to grow to the level of a lord, while the multicolored tiger was relatively weaker and could only grow to the level of a great demon beast.

"Can I choose between the steel spike wolf cub and the multicolored tiger cub?"

Once again, Hughes confirmed with the staff.

"Yes, but you only get one free chance."

After the staff confirmed it, Otis asked Hughes.

"Hughes, are you going to choose one of these two?"

"Yes, but right now I'm struggling with which one to choose."

Hughes nodded and replied.

"Of course I'd choose the steel spike wolf!:

"After entering the wild, our lives are the most important. For people like us who don't have any wind element magic talent, it's best to choose a faster contracted demon beast. This way, we can guarantee our chances of survival."

Otis smiled and explained what he understood to Hughes.

"That's right!"

Hughes slapped his head.

He had almost forgotten about this.

Although his light magic had healing effects, if he was attacked by a group, he would be stunned.

If he didn't have a good escape method, he might really die that day.

Just as he was about to confirm the steel spike wolf he had chosen with the staff, he suddenly saw demon beast eggs placed on the shelf on the right.

And in front of the shelf, several students were discussing excitedly.

"Are the demon beast eggs over there also demon beast cubs that special students can choose?"

Hughes asked curiously.

He hadn't checked the eggs over there just now.

"Sort of!"

The staff hesitated for a moment, then he said, "There are some demon beast eggs over there that I don't know what they are, and many of them have already lost their vitality, so their prices are relatively cheap. Some students buy them back to be processed as ingredients, but occasionally, some students find good demon beast cubs from those eggs."

"A few days ago, a student bought a demon beast egg and found out that it was the descendant of a lord-tier demon beast."

"Oh? is that so? It's like opening a blind box!"

Hughes's eyes lit up as he said.

He would be able to easily identify the cubs with the system.

Who knows, he might really be able to discover a demon beast egg with great potential!

Thinking of this, Hughes could not wait to bring Otis to the shelf next to him.

"This demon beast egg has very strong vitality. I will choose this one today. You guys just wait for me to hatch a young lord-tier level demon beast!"

"Hehe, does having strong vitality mean that you have a lord-tier level demon beast? It still depends on the type. I think this Purple Demon Beast Egg is not bad. I want this one."

"So what if you hatch a lord-tier level demon beast cub? Can you afford to raise it?"

...

As soon as Hughes walked to the shelf, he heard the students around him discussing intensely.

"Looks like other people have the same thoughts as us. They all want to pick up scraps."

As for whether he could afford to raise it or not, he would have to wait until he got it.

Hughes calmly opened the system and observed the rows of demon beast eggs on the shelf.

[Race name: Purple Electric Mouse (unhatched)]

[Level: Low-level Demon Beast]

[Growth rate: High-level Demon Beast]

[Threat: None]

[Race name: Ice-singing Rabbit (unhatched)]

[Level: Middle-level Demon Beast]

[Growth rate: High-rank Demon Beast]

[Threat: None]

[Race name: steel-winged bird (unhatched)]

[Level: Low-rank Demon Beast]

[Growth rate: High-rank Demon Beast]

[Threat: None]

...

"This... This is not good!"

Looking at the information of the demon beast eggs displayed on the system interface, Hughes could not help but be speechless.

Was this not a huge waste of time?

The shelves were basically filled with demon beasts that could only be used as pets.

Even if there were battle demon beasts, their potential was far inferior to the demon beast cubs sold in the hall.

Hughes now seriously suspected that the staff just now was a procrastinator!

Even to the extent that this story might be fake!

"Forget it, I still want my steel spike wolf!"

Hughes shook his head. Just as he was about to return to the hall, he suddenly saw a broken demon beast egg at the top of the shelf.

[Race name: Purple Thunder Fire Lion (unhatched)]

[Level: High-level Demon Beast.]

[Growth rate: Ruler-level Demon Beast.]

[Threat: None.]

[Remarks: The demon beast's vitality has been drained. It needs the thunder of nature and the earth flame to help it hatch.]
