Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Pet Selection (Please continue reading!)

After having lunch, David Jones, with Rainbow coiled around his neck, went to Ragdoll Mall in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, none of the six Titanium Ragdolls he identified this time had any exceptionally outstanding innate talent, which could result in the mutation of their species.
David had kept the contract position for his second pet empty for a long time.
If he could not find a Titanium Ragdoll with a Fire Talent, he had several other alternative targets, but he had not fully determined them yet.
For example, one of the targets, the massive and majestic Gyro Dragon Falcon, can carry people and fly in the sky.
Although the name of this dragon falcon has the word “dragon” in it, the pet itself has no connection with the dragon species, and its species level is only Superior.
However, it can later evolve through multiple evolutions and become the Commander-ranked “Golden Wing Dragon Falcon” with Dragon bloodline.
As for the other alternative pet, it is the Aurora Lizard of the Fire and Dragon lineage.
Unlike the Gyro Dragon Falcon, the Aurora Lizard possesses a thin dragon bloodline, making it a genuine dragon-species pet, with a top-grade Elite species level.
This proud dual-lineage pet lives on volcanoes all year round, grows up to 8 meters tall, weighs around 2.1 tons, and is always covered with blue flame armor.
From the head to the tail tip and even the entire back of the Aurora Lizard, it is covered with serrated blue spikes. These spikes help it absorb the ubiquitous fire energy in the world.
Current research results show that its highest evolutionary line is the
King-ranked “Flame Dragon.”
According to David’s understanding, pets with Dragon bloodlines on Blue Star generally have a species level of at least Elite.
Moreover, compared to other pets, dragon-species pets are born with extremely powerful abilities.
Their enormous, sturdy bodies, unmatched scales, and powerful Dragon skills make their strength far superior to that of most pets of the same rank.
The Red-tailed Goldfish, one of the very few exceptions in legends which possess a thin dragon-blood lineage, is not recognized by mainstream trainers.
Therefore, in the eyes of many trainers, dragon-species pets are synonymous with power.
In the Flowery Kingdom, which worships dragon-species pets and adopts the Oriental Azure Dragon as its totemic beast, the title of Dragoon is the much desired honor in the hearts of most trainers.
There isn’t a trainer who doesn’t want to become an unparalleled Dragoo!
This also resulted in the continually high price of pets with Dragon bloodlines in the Flowery Kingdom, causing David, a trainer with the Dragon-Wielding innate talent, to not have a dragon pet even to this day.
Realizing this, David couldn’t help but feel sad that his Dragon-Wielding talent had no Dragon pet.
So he began to consider the Aurora Lizard, which is the most accessible pet to acquire.
But the price of an Aurora Lizard cub in the pet store starts at tens of millions of Star coins, meaning that David needs to win dozens more championship titles in the challenge tournaments to afford one!
Thinking about this, David shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the Gyro Dragon Falcon or the Titanium Ragdoll would be more affordable.
As for the Aurora Lizard, he’d better wait until he has enough money!
Training is always boring, and after finishing his part-time job and returning to the apartment, David and Rainbow began their repetitive training life.
Every morning, they would go together to the Trainer Guild’s ice and snow training ground to learn new skills, and in the afternoon, they would cultivate the Calm Mind in the room.
On the first day, Rainbow successfully mastered Frost Ring.
Looking at Rainbow skillfully controlling the four ring-shaped frosts in the icy snow, David couldn’t help but sigh at her high learning potential.
It was supposed to take two days, but she learned it in just one morning!
On the second day, David let Rainbow choose her favorite new skill on the phone.
She then chose the moderately challenging “Ice Explosion.”
The skill was simple: freeze the enemy with an icy frost while simultaneously detonating the surrounding ice power, causing multiple bursts of damage.
If paired with the Polar Ice arena skill, Rainbow could even cause a large-scale avalanche disaster that covers a vast range in the snowy mountains to bury any enemy.
On the third day, Rainbow successfully mastered the Ice Explosion skill.
On the fourth day, as Rainbow moved at high speed on the ice and snow training ground, the snowflakes falling from the sky seemed to continuously explode and bloom like fireworks in the air.
As expected, she successfully learned Ice Explosion.
At this, David Jones took a deep breath and said everything was normal, then touched Rainbow’s smug face.
Time flew quickly during cultivation, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.
David got up early today.
He first picked out a few warm clothes from the wardrobe and put them into the Star Ring, then went to the room fridge and packed the food he had already packed into the Star Ring as well.
“Yiya!” (▼ ▼ #) (There’s no room left!)
David’s Rainbow in his arms immediately looked up at him discontentedly.
“Bear with it for now, I’ll get you a bigger Star Ring in a while.”
David touched Rainbow’s head, smiling as he spoke.
“Yiya!” (//’?’ ” ) (Alright then!)
Hearing David say that he’d get her a new house, Rainbow hurriedly happily replied.
The standard Star Ring’s space isn’t big, so she doesn’t like to stay inside usually.
After having breakfast, David collected Rainbow into the Star Ring and then took the familiar bus to the Trainer Guild building.
This time David arrived at the Trainer Square fifteen minutes early; today was the day he went to the Mountain Southshore dungeon.
Standing at the gathering place and waiting for a little over ten minutes, a bus with the words “Mountain Southshore Line” on its window drove into the square.
“A19956, seems like this is the one.”
He carefully looked at the bus in front of him and, after confirming it was the right one, walked up to it directly.
“Please show your Trainer Badge!” A soft female voice immediately rang in David’s ears.
Upon hearing this, David took out his identity badge from the Star Ring and promptly handed it over to the staff in front of him.
Tick!
After being checked and passed by the instrument, the flight attendant looked at David thoughtfully.
“Here’s your badge. Welcome to this Dungeon Test.”
David nodded politely after receiving the badge, and then went onto the open bus door.
As he boarded the bus, he quickly scanned the situation inside, finding a few scattered trainers already sitting, but none that he recognized.
He didn’t give it much thought and chose a seat with nobody nearby to sit down.
Once they entered the dungeon, the trainers here would all be potential competitors.
A few minutes later, a familiar, delicate female voice suddenly rang out in the quiet bus.
“Can I sit here?”
David looked up and, flashing a hint of surprise in his eyes, showed a faint smile on his face.
“Of course..”
