The full name of Big Gray is Gray Night Chinchilla, it is a strength type Pet Beast.
It has great strength, able to lift items weighing tons, but its personality is very gentle, generally used as a porter.
Besides its strength, Big Gray's species doesn't have many outstanding features, and it is widely recognized on Blue Star as a Pet Beast without an evolutionary path, so few people would contract a Gray Night Chinchilla as their Pet Beast.
Ye Bai discovered Big Gray on a rainy night, finding it covered in scars lying in a pile of garbage.
At the time, its fur was not gray, but snow white, belonging to an exotic Pet Beast, which could fetch a high price on the black market.
Ye Bai secretly glanced at Big Gray, its body covered in countless bleeding wounds, the most severe being the abdomen wound, even exposing half its innards.
There were marks of shackles on its wrists and ankles.
A dog tag-like collar was around its neck.
It lay there in the garbage pile, barely alive, Ye Bai initially thought Big Gray had just died, and as he tried to avoid this trouble, Big Gray grabbed Ye Bai's ankle.
Ye Bai lowered his head and met its deep blue eyes.
A glimmer of desire for life passed through its eyes, Ye Bai understood Big Gray's intention, it wanted him to save it.
Big Gray's desire to survive touched Ye Bai, so he used his only Storage Beast Card to take Big Gray inside.
He erased his path and deleted all the surveillance along the way.
From the dog tag on Big Gray's neck and the marks on its limbs, it seemed to have escaped from some secretive research lab.
Heavy rain was pouring down, erasing many traces with its roar.
When Ye Bai released Big Gray from the Beast Card, it was as stiff as a corpse, if not for the shallow breath on its abdomen, it would have been treated as dead by Ye Bai.
Due to the simple treatment devices in the Cultivation House, Ye Bai was only able to give Big Gray basic treatment, stitching up its wounds and injecting the few antibiotics the shop had, leaving the rest to fate.
The dog tag's positioning system was already destroyed by Big Gray, and the remaining self-destruct function was dismantled by Ye Bai.
Originally, Ye Bai thought Big Gray would develop a high fever that night, preparing some fever medicine and ice.
Unexpectedly, after just one night, Big Gray's wounds had grown granulation tissue, and it was able to open its eyes and crawl off the bed to move around.
After three days, Big Gray's fur turned from snow white to its current gray, all its wounds scabbing over and falling off.
Its originally deep blue eyes turned greenish-blue, only occasionally showing a hint of blue under reflection.
As a result, it lost most of its memory, only remembering being abandoned, forgetting the memory of escaping the research institute, and why it was so badly injured.
This immediately alerted Ye Bai, causing him to hide Big Gray's traces with all his strength, and indeed, after a few days, some strangers appeared on the streets.
To this end, Ye Bai specifically traveled far to forge a proof of purchase for the Gray Night Chinchilla, to prevent someone from tracing back one day.
Due to changes in Big Gray's fur and eye color, and the evidence Ye Bai forged by infiltrating the system, the strangers who came to check several times were unable to discover Big Gray's true identity.
Gradually, they gave up searching, assuming Big Gray had escaped to another place.
This way, they lived in peace for three years, as Big Gray remembered being abandoned, it developed sympathy for abandoned Pet Beasts.
These Pet Beasts generally had their own defects.
Like Thunder Pig, originally capable of releasing terrifying electric currents, but abandoned because of problems with its electrical organs.
Like Chameleon Lizard, whose scales could change color with the surroundings, always keeping it invisible, highly favored by Pet Beast Masters, but abandoned because it couldn't turn invisible due to issues.
Pet Beast Masters use an item called Nether River Water to dissolve contracts.
The item is expensive, with an initial price of fifty thousand Alliance Coins.
A Pet Beast abandoned by a Pet Beast Master, which actively breaks the contract, cannot contract a Pet Beast Master again within two years.
Ye Bai's Cultivation House nearly turned into a shelter for Pet Beasts.
Ye Bai also transitioned from a student with some spare change to someone worrying about livelihood every day.
The monthly feeding costs for the Cultivation House became astronomical.
He once thought of finding kind people to adopt the shop's Pet Beasts.
However, due to the Pet Beasts' defects, no one was willing to be the fallback guy, instead, more people became aware of Ye Bai's Cultivation House harboring defective Pet Beasts.
If not for Ye Bai's shop selling a unique Frenzy Potion, his Cultivation House would have completely collapsed.
Ye Bai looked at Big Gray feeling guilty, unable to meet his eyes, a bit speechless.
Big Gray lowered its head, its view blocked by its large belly, inhaling with all its might without avail.
"Big Gray, how many times have I told you."
"Our Cultivation House is running on deficit, how come you've brought another Pet Beast back."
The towering Big Gray was reprimanded by Ye Bai like a grandson.
"Quickly bring it out for inspection, to see if there are any parasites or infectious diseases."
Ye Bai said in an annoyed tone, Big Gray's eyes flashed with joy, knowing Ye Bai had a harsh tongue but a soft heart, which is why it kept bringing Pet Beasts back to the Cultivation House.
Although reprimanded each time, the scolding never made Big Gray aware of the severity of the situation.
At this moment, Big Gray pulled out a cardboard box from behind, containing a newborn Lightning Cat.
Lightning Cat is a Thunder Element Pet Beast, relatively rare, usually golden yellow, though some are black.
The Lightning Cat before them was golden yellow all over.
Pet Beasts on Blue Star are mainly categorized into attributes like Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Ice, Wind, Light, Dark, Poison, Fighting, Dragon, Ghost.
At the moment Ye Bai laid eyes on the Lightning Cat, he was taken aback.
A cool stream passed through Ye Bai's eyes, with a projection showing up before him, surprisingly displaying data of the Lightning Cat.

This guy actually possesses two evolutionary paths, wait, that's not the main point, why can I see the evolutionary paths of Pet Beasts, has my eyes mutated?
At this moment, Ye Bai looked into the mirror and found his eyes had turned blood red, like fine red gemstones.
And when Li Weiyang used the Eye of Insight, her eyes were also red, is there a connection between the two?
