Chapter 819: Chapter 820 Going Out

Seeing that Agunas did not deny it, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"Well, I’ll get one for you too. Xiao Ji, do you want to come with me later, or do you want to stay at school and practice?"

Xiao Ji glanced at the ruler of the Mirror Realm. Although the latter showed no expression, Xiao Ji felt as though they were smirking proudly, angrily munching on their own lunch. Xiao Ji began to regret not having crafted a pair of nimble hands for themselves. Although that would look quite strange, but...

No, if it’s too strange, would Feng Yuan dislike their new appearance? Thinking of this, Xiao Ji’s train of thought drifted further and further until they didn’t know where it went.

After leaving with Agunas and the others, Feng Yuan told Xiao Ji to follow Qi Chen back to the battle arena, while Big Cat seemed ready to go deal with Little Green Snake’s evolution issues. Feng Yuan thought about it and said to Little Green Snake,

"You’d better think more about the rarity of the materials. Although theoretically, the rarer the materials used, the fewer restrictions on the evolved form, don’t forget your original intention."

Feng Yuan was somewhat afraid that Little Green Snake would become obsessed with improving its strength in its evolved form, using many extremely rare evolution materials. Although doing so would mean the evolved form naturally becomes very powerful, it does not mean much for their species.

At least, Feng Yuan believed that beneficial evolutionary forms for a species are those made from materials that are relatively rare but not too scarce. This way, it ensures the evolved form is not weak, and it doesn’t result in restrictions or defects due to overly easy evolution.

Just like at the Native Level, where evolution is completely reliant on luck, no matter how well you raise them beforehand, the evolved form is random. Even if Ah Mu used a guidance potion, it can’t guarantee an evolved form that one desires, which is actually a kind of invisible threshold. There are no benefits in the world without some sort of payment, so Feng Yuan was very concerned that Little Green Snake would be disappointed if it ended up with a useless evolved form.

Nodding its head, Little Green Snake tapped its tail on its forehead to show it understood. In truth, it only showed a slight hint of this behavior, but it immediately sobered up after Feng Yuan’s reminder.

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with confused eyes and said,

"Why do you specifically mention this?"

"Once evolved, there is no turning back. Divine Beasts may be exempt from the side effects of failed evolution, but they also completely lose the possibility of reverting to their pre-evolution form."

Feng Yuan shrugged in explanation. Xiao Ji’s and Little Green Snake’s goals were not quite the same. Xiao Ji initially wanted to not hold back Feng Yuan’s strength, so as long as the evolved form was powerful, Xiao Ji would be happy even if it used a unique material in the world. But Little Green Snake was different; its purpose had always been for its species, and materials that were too rare are indeed of no significance.

Even with a Taming Beast Contract signed with a Beastmaster, Little Green Snake’s species wasn’t particularly popular among them due to their appearance and strength. At least compared to those adorable but strong Spirit Beasts, the appeal was much less.

"Have you... always... been like this?"

The ruler of the Mirror Realm asked hesitantly, Feng Yuan looked at the ruler of the Mirror Realm and asked,

"What do you mean by ’always been like this’?"

"Just that..."

"That you care so much about other Spirit Beasts? Don’t you think you seem to be... a bit too much of a good Samaritan?"

Agunas flicked its tail and said, perplexed. Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with a puzzled expression and said,

"Why would you think that? You know that those things are done as a matter of course for me."

"But... simply... bestowing..."

The ruler of the Mirror Realm said, somewhat confused. Feng Yuan looked at the ruler of the Mirror Realm, exasperated, and replied,

"What do you mean by ’bestowing’? It’s just something that comes naturally, I just do what feels right in my heart. It’s not like I’m at any loss. Surely I can’t always be thinking about what use something has for me, can I? What else would I be able to do?"

Remembering Feng Yuan’s strength, Agunas fell silent. If that guy wanted a return on his investment, Agunas probably wouldn’t be able to give much either. In a sense, he indeed didn’t need to worry about those things.

"Don’t think too much about it — we are all just homeless wanderers with nothing to lose."

Feng Yuan said with a smile, patting the ruler of the Mirror Realm’s head. Looking at Feng Yuan with some confusion, the ruler of the Mirror Realm said blankly,

"Homeless, you say?"

"Pink gold, you ask?"

Seeing the smartphone chosen by the master of the Mirror Realm, Feng Yuan was a bit puzzled; that rose-gold casing looked somewhat odd to him. Agunas rolled its eyes and said,

"According to human definitions, Veronia would be considered a female Divine Beast. Isn’t it normal for her to like this color?"

Veronia, holding the rose-gold smartphone, glared at Agunas dissatisfiedly. The counter staff member looked at Agunas and Veronia with a strange expression. She hadn’t misheard, right? The crocodile-shaped Spirit Beast just mentioned Divine Beasts, right? If it were before, she might have just thought that the Spirit Beast was bragging, but recently, Divine Beasts had frequently appeared in Maomu City. She couldn’t be sure that the ones in front of her weren’t really Divine Beasts.

"What do you think of this one?"

After Veronia had chosen a smartphone, Feng Yuan started to help Agunas pick one, but the attendant found it all very strange. Although it wasn’t unheard of for Beastmasters to buy smartphones for their pets, she had yet to see many who chose based entirely on appearance.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but if you need a sturdy smartphone, please look over here."

"No need, it doesn’t matter whether it’s sturdy or not."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. Normally, Beastmasters would need to worry about their phones being damaged in the wild due to movement and combat, but Agunas and the others weren’t afraid. One could reverse time and fix anything at will, while the other could simply toss the smartphone into the World of Mirrors. There was no need to consider sturdiness.

"Just pick whatever you like."

Agunas said, flicking its tail before turning around. As Feng Yuan hesitated over which one to choose, someone tapped his shoulder. He turned his head and looked at the person in surprise,

"Aren’t you supposed to be participating in the Beast Taming competition? What are you doing here?"

"I’m not a battle maniac... Najia needs rest too."

Yang Hongzhi said somewhat speechlessly. Najia, sitting on Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder, waved at Feng Yuan and Agunas to greet them. Noticing Veronia, it nodded with a puzzled look, seemingly unsure about what it was sensing from her.

"What about... Xiao Ji? Didn’t she come out with you?"

Yang Hongzhi looked around in surprise. The fact that Xiao Ji, who was usually inseparable from Feng Yuan, wasn’t present made him wonder if he had encountered someone with a similar appearance. Yet the person recognized him, and even Agunas was following him...

"She’s practicing at school. I just came out to buy them a smartphone, that’s all."

"Smartphone?"

Yang Hongzhi paused for a moment, then smacked his forehead and said,

"Right! I should get one for Najia too; that way, she won’t get bored on regular days."

Since he also had to train Xiao Hui and Big Cat, he couldn’t always take care of Najia. Although Najia would sit quietly and watch him with a smile, he still felt somewhat guilty.

"How about rose-gold?"

Feng Yuan casually pointed to a model identical to Veronia’s, and the other party immediately seemed displeased. Najia shook its head and said,

"I think this one is better..."

"The Starry Sky special edition? That’s also nice,"

Feng Yuan commented as he glanced at the price and elbowed Yang Hongzhi,

"What do you think? Can you afford it? Need a sponsorship?"

"How could I not afford it... I’m not a high school student like you guys."

Yang Hongzhi said incredulously. The students at the Beast Taming Academy were different from regular college students. They could take on tasks filtered by the academy using their student identities, and the tasks assigned by the academy on a regular basis also paid. Compared to regular people, these academy students, as long as they weren’t cultivating extremely rare or resource-draining Divine Beasts, could save quite a lot of money. Naturally, a mere smartphone was not a big issue.

"Then it’s settled for this one~"

"The Profound Labyrinth? Who’s that for?"

Observing the smartphone that Feng Yuan had picked out, Yang Hongzhi was curious.
