Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 101
Advertisement
After spending a day with his girlfriend on Saturday, Su Bai did not go out again on Sunday and, instead, brought his brother and the pets to the reservoir.
"Wow! It's really a big change, brother," exclaimed Su Yue.
Before, the Construct Reservoir was surrounded by large mountains, and the peaks were generally three to four hundred meters above the water surface of the reservoir. Now, those large mountains were gone, and some ravines had been filled up. Thousands of acres of land surrounded the reservoir. There were two rivers in the middle forming a Y-shape, flowing from the upper stream into the reservoir. There was also a very beautiful stone bridge on each river.
The entire manor was only forty to fifty meters above the reservoir on average. Most of it was flat land, and only two small hills with a height of fifty meters and a very gentle slope remained.
The exterior of the manor was a rugged and beautiful ten-meter-high wall made of rocks which had a diameter of over one meter. It just happened to use all the stones that had been dug up from several mountains.
The manor had been divided into different areas according to the original establishment plan. The spiritual fields were still bare and empty, and the irrigation pipes for supplying spiritual water had already been laid. They were all connected to the large water pump by the crack in the bottom of the reservoir.
Other greening had also been completed. Giant cedar, ginkgo, redwood, cherry, and other trees had successfully been planted. Because of the existence of pets, these trees almost did not have trouble surviving and were all extremely lush.
Now, they were building some houses, including their own, for residential and commercial purposes. Besides those, they planned to build factories, infrastructures, roads, et cetera.
Some slabs were laid on the water surface next to the shore of the reservoir, which concealed its original ruggedness. These slabs formed a circular path around the reservoir. Other than these were several small piers, which made it more convenient to fish or play. Overall, the reservoir looked beautiful with its present setup and no longer had a trace of its original appearance.
Standing here, they could not even imagine what its original appearance was. Once all the other houses and infrastructures were built, this place would look like a paradise.
"Yes, it has really changed a lot. It's really cool to be able to fish at the sides of the reservoir now."
Su Bai also nodded in shock. It was really incredible for this place to have experienced such a great change in just two months.
This was the power of pets. It was truly worth hiring high-level large pets to move the mountains, for with their help, the speed of construction had gone beyond what was achievable a hundred years ago.
"Do you two know how much money was spent on this?" asked Father Su as he took in their shock expression, feeling very satisfied.
"How much?" Su Bai was also a little curious.
"A total of 550 million yuan. I bought all the rights to use this land and spent five hundred million. The remaining fifty million was the construction cost. We estimated that all these will cost tens of millions once built.
"And we must pay all that in ten years' time, or else they'll take everything back."
Father Su nodded and explained. With his son's connections, he simply bought all these without second thought. Anyway, the debt was already plenty; there was no difference in owing tens of millions or over five hundred million.

"Dad, you're very courageous," praised Su Bai. He actually wanted to let his father buy this land directly but was afraid that the latter would be scared after seeing their large debt. Therefore, his dad's courage had really given him a shock.
"We'll never be overwhelmed by our debts, dad. Since we owe them a lot, they won't let us go bankrupt." Su Yue patted his father on the shoulder like a small adult.
"Talk is cheap, little boy. Do you know how long it took me to convince your mother?" Father Su slapped his son lightly as he glared at him.
"It's alright. I already talked it through with my teacher. She'll send someone over for inspection in the next few days. When it's over, we can start planting spiritual plants and then start earning revenue." Su Bai nodded, still admiring his father's courage.
Although he did not know how his father had succeeded in making his mother agree, Su Bai admired him.
Because of the space cracks and monsters in this world, the land was not as valuable as a hundred years ago. Combined with Su Bai's connections, it was quite reasonable to have only spent five hundred million on this.
Land that belonged to oneself was always different from that of others.
"I already know this; you're so useful."
His father patted his shoulder and then pointed to two distant hills.
"See those two hills that form the left blue dragon and the right white tiger? The one on the left is for you, while the one on the right is for your younger brother. Later, we will build a three-story building on top for each of you. The development of the hills and the surrounding area has also already been planned. We can start construction whenever."
"That sounds great. I was gonna say that I want to build a few sacred fields; now, there's a perfect place for those."
Su Bai nodded in satisfaction. He had an idea that he wanted to put into practice, and that was the perfect place for it.
He would catch some strange pets and raise them in this big place.
After strolling around the manor with his father and younger brother, he really realized how big it was.
However, the happiest were still his two pets. Both ran around after they heard that this huge place was the Su family's property now, and naturally they were naturally very satisfied with it.
Father Su went to assist the construction supervisor after chatting with his son for a while, while Su Bai took his brother to the edge of the reservoir. Both did their things, with the younger one fishing and the older one training his pets.
Be it the newly awakened skills of the cub or the newly learned skills of the Little Tyrant, all required constant practice to increase the speed of cohesion, accuracy, et cetera.
"Buddy, unfold Thorns Domain!"
Su Bai looked at Purple Jade and instructed. He had yet to see how big the cub's Thorns Domain was after it got promoted to the warlord level.
"Howl~"
Take a good look, Ah Bai; I'm now very impressive.
With a howl, the cub unleashed its Thorns Domain. A huge field with the diameter of thirty meters appeared, but the vine whips inside were now a mix of thick and thin, some as thick as thighs and some as thin as arms.
"Your vines are much larger than when you were a servant. Not bad!" Su Bai exaggerated a bit in his praise.

"Roar!"
Ah Bai, look at me; I've also improved.
The Little Tyrant looked at him with its fierce, little eyes and roared.
It activated Lava Domain in the next moment, and a ten-meter-radius domain was constructed. Within it, the ground was fiery red and hot flames danced in the air.
"Wow, you two are very impressive. Let's train our skills next."
Su Bai nodded.
The cub first demonstrated its ability, Wood Spirit Replacement, which it got after breaking through to the warlord level.
As it exuded a wave of spiritual power, it disappeared in place for about a second and then reappeared in front of another vine.
This skill was very practical, but it was not at proficient level yet, taking the cub a long time to perform it.
"Little Tyrant, keep practicing with your older sister. If you interrupt the Wood Spirit Replacement and manage to catch Purple Jade, I'll reward you with three energy medicinal cakes at once.
"As for you, lassie, if you get caught by your sibling once, you'll have one less energy medicinal cake at night."
Su Bai chuckled. Nothing else was more important than food to the Little Tyrant.
"Roar~"
The Little Tyrant put down its half-eaten volcanic rock and ran toward the cub with an excited expression. It would not show mercy for the sake of food.
"Howl! ( ̄^ ̄)"
Stupid Ah Bai! Luring us with food all the time.
Letting out a cry of disdain, Purple Jade activated Wood Spirit Replacement and moved quickly.
Su Bai found some plants to extract wood attribute light balls and fused them with the weaker vine whips in the domain.
It was not that he disliked integrating these light balls into the cub's stronger skills, but those skills were all one-offs and were released by spiritual power.
The light balls he picked up could not strengthen the spiritual power of the pet at present and could only improve its primary skills like Vine Whip and the Fireball.
Moreover, because of the simplicity of the primary skills, there were not so many restrictions and they could be casually used in fights without fear.
Skills like the Continuous Energy Burst, meanwhile, would not work. If he rashly applied an external force, it might explode with a bang.
Thus, he had only helped strengthen the cub's primary skills.
It was not that he wanted this, it was just the only way.
With the motivation of food, the two pets trained very diligently today.
After Su Bai finished fusing the light balls, he did not idle, either, and exercised on the side by himself. He carried a thiry-jin stone on his back and practiced carrying weights through the Thorns Domain of the cub.
In fact, the weight was more than thirty jin. He had bought some small lead sandbags before, and whenever he was not playing with Chen Rouxue, he would take these with him. These lead blocks were not heavy individually, but when combined up to four kilograms, the result was impressive enough to carry them for a long time.
"Howl!()〈))"
Stupid Ah Bai! I'm left with fewer than ten medicinal cakes now. Ahhh!
Once the morning training ended, the cub lay on the ground and glared at Su Bai. It dug its claws on the ground, seemingly having the impulse to bite its owner.
The Little Tyrant happily ate its volcanic rock as it waited for him to deliver its lunch, which now consisted of thirty more energy medicinal cakes.
"Come on; here's your lunch."
Su Bai brought out their lunch for them. The Little Tyrant's portion was a small pot piled high with food, while Purple Jade's only had half a pot filled.
"Roar (*⊙~⊙)"
The Little Tyrant choked on its food and drank some lava before swallowing it.
"Howl! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)"
The cub did not care and wanted more. Stupid Ah Bai, I wanna eat more!
After finishing its meal, Purple Jade kicked the bowl angrily to vent its dissatisfaction on its owner. This was exploitation!
"You wanna eat more? Supervise your sibling this afternoon, then. While he trains his Blighted Fireball, you'll use your vines as his target. As long as he doesn't hit your vines, you'll have two more energy medicinal cakes for dinner.
"Your brother also has to practice his concealment skill, Bury. If you can find him, you get another medicinal cake.
"As for you little fellow, you'll get one less medicinal cake if you fail."
Su Bai looked down at his two pets as he gave these instructions. Even if Purple Jade ate less, its spiritual power would definitely be supplemented.
"Howl! (*^ω^*)"
Fine! I agree to your conditions. Stupid Ah Bai, just you wait and see!
The cub cheered itself.
"Roar~ (`皿 ́)"
No, I disagree!
With a strike of its claw, the Little Tyrant crushed a thirty-centimeter-tall basalt rock as it glared indignantly at its owner with small fierce eyes. Those who played with its food were unforgivable.
"Your objection is invalid. Bring out your full strength; Blighted Fireball is the same as Fireball. It's not as if you've never practiced it before."
Su Bai glanced at his pet sideways.
"Roar~"
No, I still disagree!
The Little Tyrant refused to train.
"How about you supervise my training later, too? If I fail, you'll get an extra energy medicinal cake." He thought for a while and decided to do himself dirty.
After taking a break, they resumed training that afternoon. Just like an online writer writing a novel, their training could not be interrupted and must be done daily.
Su Bai helped the Little Tyrant strengthen its Fireball skill first as the two pets practiced in pairs before finally letting the two supervise his training.
"Ahh… ahh… I'm dead."
In the evening, Su Bai collapsed onto the ground with his body numb from pain.
"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"
Stupid Ah Bai, now you know the pain of training?
Glancing at him, Purple Jade raised its paw and pressed it down on his head. The cub then slowly poured in wood spiritual power on him to recover his strength. Although it still felt dissatisfied, it responsibly healed its Pet Tamer.
"Ah, it's so nice to have you. I'll give you a snack tonight. Don't be angry; I did it out of good intentions."
Su Bai recovered and hugged his two pets.
"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"
Hmph.
"Roar! o(一〈一+)o"
Hmph.
Both turned their heads and refused to look at him.
Su Bai: "…"
"I'm gonna go fishing; d'you want to tag along?"
Su Bai stretched and looked at the two.
Upon hearing this, his pets' interests were piqued. The cub found it fun, while the Little Tyrant wanted to eat fish.
They returned to the side of the reservoir and found Su Yue. He walked over and asked, "Younger brother, how's the harvest?"
"It's amazing, big bro. Can you believe that I caught three grass carps which weigh four catties each? Sure enough, this kind of empty fishing spot is awesome."
The younger boy laughed happily.
The surrounding conditions of the reservoir were arduous, and there were many places where it was impossible to fish, but now that slabs had been laid on its periphery and a wharf had been built, fishing was possible at all sides.
Su Yue had never been on this spot before today.
Su Bai lifted the bucket and looked inside to see not only three large grass carps but also a lot of sardines and yellow tails. He excitedly exclaimed, "Come, let me try my hand here as well! Bring your fishing rod to the side."
"Okay, you came just in time; I already got tired of fishing." Su Yue stood up.
Since he was not fishing anymore, he arranged two fishing rods for his older brother's pets.
At this moment, a wonderful scene was presented. They held their fishing rods and stared intently at the tranquil water in front.
Gradually, the sky darkened, but they still had not yet caught anything.
"Roar!"
The Little Tyrant had caught something!
It violently raised its fishing rod, pulling it up and shouting excitedly.
"Hey, don't…"
Before Su Bai finished speaking, a loud bang sounded. Just as the big golden carp emerged from the water, the fishing rod broke.
"Roar!"
With quick eyes and claws, the Little Tyrant raised its hand and launched a Fireball.
The surface of the water exploded with a bang, and a large amount of water evaporated. The Little Tyrant used its spiritual power to haul the fish up in the air, and soon, a large fat golden carp fell into its claws.
It looked down at the carp and revealed a jubilant grin.
Su Bai: "…"
Su Yue: "…"
This carp had probably accumulated eight lifetimes of bad luck, had it not?
From the side, Purple Jade nodded and thought that this was a very good method.

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
