Li Cunxu appeared calm on the surface, as if he didn't understand what Master Jia was saying.
Master Jia waved his hand, signaling Li Cunxu to leave. Li Cunxu complied, and once he was gone, Master Jia drank the Memory Erasing Potion, erasing all memories of Li Cunxu and the colored contact lenses.
"Next, I need to reveal to the world that I've awakened the Half-Eyed Sacred Lotus Eye. But how exactly should I do it?"
"I can't be too obvious about it. It needs to be exposed naturally, or else clever people might suspect that I'm trying to cover something up, thinking there's a bigger secret hidden beneath this act."
After much deliberation, Li Cunxu came up with a plan: he would register for a Breeder certificate and use the leaky Breeder Association to spread the news about his Half-Eyed condition.
It was already late, so he waited until the next day to head to the Breeder Association to register as a junior Breeder.
The receptionist smiled and reminded him, "If you register as a junior Breeder, you won't be able to register as a Beast Tamer for ten years. The same applies if you register as a Beast Tamer—you won't be able to register as a Breeder for ten years."
Li Cunxu frowned, "Why is there such a rule?"
The receptionist maintained her professional smile, "The Alliance wants people to focus on developing one career, not to be indecisive."
"Can't they pursue both simultaneously?"
"Many geniuses thought the same way back then, but in the end, they became just like everyone else."
Li Cunxu fell into deep thought.
Should he still register as a Breeder?
If he did, he wouldn't be able to register as a Beast Tamer for ten years.
Both the Beast Tamer and Breeder professions had their own advantages.
Registering as a Breeder would unlock more permissions and provide more channels to acquire rare resources, but compared to the benefits of being a Beast Tamer, the perks of being a Breeder were negligible.
Registering as a Beast Tamer would grant him access to the Beast Tamer official website, which had many bounty tasks available for Beast Tamers to take on. Beast Tamers also received monthly benefits, various subsidies, and priority notifications for competitions.
Additionally, registering for a Beast Tamer certificate during his studies would earn him a reward from the school.
Li Cunxu hesitated for a moment, then smiled. Did he really need to think about this? No.
For him, it seemed there was only one choice.
If he didn't register as a Breeder, could he register as a Beast Tamer?
Before filling all six Contract Slots, there was no way he could register as a Beast Tamer.
In the waiting area for the exam, a middle-aged bald uncle sat on a chair, waiting.
The bald uncle said, "Friend, are you here to experience the difficulty of the Breeder exam?"
Li Cunxu replied, "No, I'm here to take the exam."
"Then you'll probably end up failing."
"How so?"
The bald uncle rubbed his shiny head, "Just looking at your hairline, it doesn't meet the standard."
"The Breeder exam tests your hairline?"
"It doesn't test your hairline, but your hairline proves your accumulation of knowledge." The bald uncle touched his head again and added, "Guess how old I am."
"40."
"Wrong, I'm only 26 this year."
Li Cunxu looked at the bald uncle. Was he really 26?
"Why don't you get a hair transplant? Hair transplant technology is advanced now."
"Of course, I'll get a hair transplant, but only after I pass the junior Breeder exam. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get so anxious from failing repeatedly that I'll pull out all the transplanted hair."
The broadcast in the hall sounded.
"Number 38, please proceed to the examination room."
"Enough chatting, it's my turn now."
Bald Uncle stood up and strode into the examination room with his head held high. Thirty minutes later, he walked out with his head hanging low.
"Number 39, please proceed to the examination room."
The Examining Teacher said, "Please complete the test paper on the table within ten minutes and score above ninety points."
"No need."
What do you mean, no need?
The Examining Teacher was stunned. Is he being cocky now?
Then, they saw Li Cunxu's right pupil transform into a sacred Sacred Lotus Eye.
The Examining Teacher was stunned again. Indeed, there was no need. The Breeder Association in Pupil City had a rule: those with the Sacred Lotus Eye could skip the examination and directly register as a junior Breeder.
The Sacred Meal was a higher-tier delicacy compared to Spirit Food. Having someone with the Sacred Lotus Eye take the Breeder examination was like a dimensional downgrade, a pure waste of examination resources.
As for his foundational knowledge in breeding, there was no need to worry. The Sacred Lotus Li Family valued their reputation highly and would never allow someone with shaky fundamentals to breed Pet Beasts.
However, the intermediate Breeder examination wasn't so simple. Even if you had the Sacred Lotus Eye, you still needed to prove you had the skills of an intermediate Breeder.
Wait a minute, why does he only have one Sacred Lotus Eye?
"What's wrong with your left eye?"
Li Cunxu replied indifferently, "Half-Eyed."
"Is the Pupil Technique you possess the Sacred Meal? Please demonstrate it."
The Examining Teacher nodded in understanding and pointed to the resource materials by the wall.
The privilege of directly becoming a junior Breeder with the Sacred Lotus Eye was entirely due to the Sacred Meal Pupil Technique. If Li Cunxu couldn't demonstrate the Sacred Meal, the Examining Teacher wouldn't let him pass.
Li Cunxu picked the most appealing material from the pile—a chicken thigh from a robust chicken.
Placing the chicken thigh on the plate on the table, Li Cunxu consumed a drop of Sacred Blood and activated the Blood Banquet Holy Meal. The chicken thigh instantly burst into a dazzling white light.
When the light faded, the plain chicken thigh had transformed into a fragrant, delicious chicken leg.
[Blood Banquet Holy Meal · Delicious Chicken Leg]
[Quality]: Black Iron · Common
[Effect]: Slightly increases leg explosive power.
The Examining Teacher released a specialized taster—the Poison Ivy Monkey, a Poison-type Pet Beast.
Using Poison-type Pet Beasts to taste food had the advantage of not fearing half-baked Breeders attempting to poison the food.
The Poison Ivy Monkey picked up the Delicious Chicken Leg, tasted it, and then chattered a few words to the Examining Teacher.
The Examining Teacher said, "The Poison Ivy Monkey's evaluation is that the effect is quite ordinary, but the taste is delicious."
Li Cunxu successfully obtained his junior Breeder qualification certificate.
The junior Breeder qualification certificate was of limited help to Li Cunxu. He wasn't going to use it to open a breeding shop or breeding garden. He obtained the certificate solely to spread the news of his awakening of half a Sacred Lotus Eye through the Breeder Association.
Bald Uncle... no, Bald Young Man, he hadn't left yet. At this moment, he was still reviewing the mistakes he made during the examination.
Seeing Li Cunxu come out after just five minutes, Bald Young Man thought Li Cunxu had failed the examination. Finding someone even worse than himself, the gloom in his heart instantly lifted.
Bald Young Man chuckled, "Failure is the mother of success. One must bravely face failure. Look at me, I've failed countless times, yet I still face it positively."
"I didn't fail."
Li Cunxu pulled out his brand-new junior Breeder certificate.
Bald Young Man instantly stopped chuckling.
"You were only in there for five minutes? Oh, I get it, you took a shortcut."
The bald guy looked around and, seeing no one nearby, whispered, "Can you let me use the back door too? I'm willing to pay."
"There's no back door here; it's the Sacred Lotus Eye."
Li Cunxu revealed his Sacred Lotus Eye, which was only on one side.
The bald guy immediately fell silent, cursing in his heart about those with natural talent.
Back at the ranch, White Spider brought some good news—it had mutated another type of Slime.
This new Slime had mutated by consuming coal, and White Spider named it 'Coal Slime.'
The Coal Slime was pitch black, resembling a round, rolling lump of coal.
[Pet Beast]: Coal Slime
[Skills]: Coal Smoke, Ram.
