Chapter 97: 91: Pointing at the Collegiate Cup



Just before Chen Xing was about to enter the assessment center, Gong Yilan sneakily handed him two keys for the locks.

If everything went smoothly in the end, this small detail of unlocking the shackles might earn Chen Xing quite a few points.

Although the monster with an eagle’s face and a human’s body wasn’t very tall, only reaching slightly below Chen Xing’s chest, it carried itself with a dignified presence and a spirited expression.

Its body was covered with a layer of black feathers like armor, and the golden lightning-shaped mark on its forehead added a touch of mysteriousness.

The three pairs of huge wings on its back were tightly folded when it walked, and its hands and feet were shaped like eagle’s claws.

Despite these seemingly mismatched features, they harmoniously integrated into one entity, as if it was a Sìxiàng Shényīng walking upright.

Chen Xing gazed at the monster, pondering what name to give it.

On the data panel, the name field was still blank, indicating that it was truly a unique creature in this world. Naming it after its father’s bloodline or its mother’s didn’t seem quite right.

The monster raised its head, its face showing a hint of confusion.

Naming itself? That was difficult for it.

Its voice was hoarse, hesitant, “You choose one for me.”

Gong Yilan couldn’t help but feel a surge of surprise; the monster was actually willing to let Chen Xing name it.

After a moment’s thought, Chen Xing suggested, “You have four attributes, so how about ‘Sìxiàng’? And for the species name, let’s call it ‘Sìxiàng Shényīng’.”

Gong Yilan nodded in agreement, “A name is just a title, as long as it doesn’t touch upon any taboos, any name you choose is fine.”

Thus, with Gong Yilan by his side, Chen Xing brought the monster, now named “Sìxiàng,” to the Pet Safety Assessment Center.

With internal connections smoothing the way, all procedures were exceptionally smooth.

Soon, they were left with the last hurdle—the psychological safety assessment of the Sìxiàng Shényīng.

This step was crucial, as it directly concerned the safety of the city’s residents.

After all, no one wanted a monster prone to aggression loose in the city, causing irreversible damage.

This was being responsible for the safety of everyone, and Chen Xing also had to sign as Sìxiàng’s safety guarantor; if anything were to happen, Chen Xing would be the first accountable person.

Gong Yilan had been prepared to make introductions, but when the assessment results came out, she was stunned; the paper clearly displayed two words— “Mentally Stable.”

Her mind momentarily froze, doubting whether she had read it wrong.

After all, since being brought back yesterday, this monster had been locked in a cell, acting as agitated as an enraged Chihuahua.

Was it because she had been too rough when imprisoning it yesterday? Gong Yilan couldn’t help reflecting on her actions.

Meanwhile, Chen Xing had received the safety badge from the staff and placed it around Sìxiàng’s neck.

He reminded Sìxiàng, “This badge is very important, don’t take it off. With this, you’ll be able to move freely in the city.”

Sìxiàng lowered its head and gently rubbed the metal badge with its sharp claws, being extremely cautious not to accidentally damage it.

After leaving the Safety Assessment Center, Chen Xing realized it wasn’t far from his home.

He politely declined Gong Yilan’s offer to drive him home.

He decided to walk home with Sìxiàng and, on the way, to buy it a high-quality food storage container.

From then on, he could regularly prepare freeze-dried food for Sìxiàng. Just 60 pieces would maintain Sìxiàng in a good mood for an hour, and 1440 pieces for a full day of contentment.

When Sìxiàng was idle, munching on some freeze-dried food would stack up the buff durations.

Of course, that was a temporary solution, not a cure. The better approach would be to find a way to completely resolve Sìxiàng’s issues.

Chen Xing felt that the later parts of the Skill Tree would have the necessary skills, since the job scope of a Pet Caretaker included pet medical care.

As they came out of the Safety Assessment Center, passersby cast curious looks at Sìxiàng.

Some couldn’t help but approach Chen Xing to ask where he had purchased this Beast Taming creature, as it looked so extraordinary; others complimented Sìxiàng on its handsome appearance, and asked for Chen Xing’s contact information, hoping to buy one of Sìxiàng’s offspring later.

Amidst the onlookers and discussions, Sìxiàng appeared somewhat discomforted.

It was unaccustomed to being stared at by so many people, which made it feel oppressed.

So, it stealthily moved half a step to the left, hiding behind Chen Xing, its claws tightly clutching the hem of Chen Xing’s clothes.

Perceiving Sìxiàng’s unease, Chen Xing gently patted its shoulder, comforting it in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Let’s go.”

Sìxiàng silently shook its head. It actually wasn’t afraid of the people; it was just afraid of its condition acting up and ruining what it had so hard-won.

When they got to the shopping mall, Chen Xing bought a large black pet food container for it; it looked somewhat like a gourd.
