Beastmastering: The Best Master Ever!

Chapter 10: B-Broken?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since Chen Qiyue bought the Giant Ugly Fish’s egg, there were three rows of subtitles hanging on its head.

Giant Ugly Fish Egg

Aptitude: B

Potential: 79

For that, Chen Qiyue specially found books on aptitude and potential to increase his knowledge.

The Fantastic Beasts’ aptitudes were divided into S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

The classification of potential was also very detailed.

S: More than 1

A: 81–1

B: 61–

C: 51–

D: 31–

E: 11–

F: 1-

Those below 1 were naturally Fantastic Beasts below F-rank.

Most of these Fantastic Beasts were released and placed in some natural reserves.

In the outer realms, these Fantastic Beasts definitely could not survive. Because their aptitude was too poor, it also meant that their strength was too poor, extremely poor.

Of course, there were some adorable and outstanding Fantastic Beasts, such as the Fire Monarch Fox, White Velvet Ball, and so on.

Due to their outstanding appearance and rareness, even if their aptitude was extremely poor, there would still be people who would buy them as pets.

Hence, Fantastic Beasts’ strength and aptitude were most important. Especially young Fantastic Beasts, aptitude was number one.

After the eggs hatched, they would give birth to Fantastic Beasts. Fantastic Beasts were also divided into levels.

They were divided into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Special, Guardian, Monarch, and Legendary.

The corresponding Beast Trainers and feeders added a suffix to the categories.

Beast Trainers needed to have a high-level Fantastic Beast, so they could be called Trainers of this level.

When Beast Feeders nurtured a Fantastic Beast of this level, they could be called a Feeder of this level.

For example, if he had an intermediate-level Fantastic Beast and two beginner-level Fantastic Beasts, then this beast tamer would be an intermediate-level Beast Trainer.

Before the guardian level, Beast Trainers could only have up to six Fantastic Beasts. At the guardian level, they could have six more. At the monarch level, they could have six more. At the legendary level, they could have another six.

However, unless one reached the intermediate Trainer level and passed the assessment, they could only have no more than three Fantastic Beasts. Only after reaching the advanced Trainer level could they have at most six Fantastic Beasts.

Of course, these were ordinary beast tamers who had not entered the Fantastic Beast University.

As long as one could get into a Fantastic Beast University, they could directly have the qualifications to have six Fantastic Beasts.

These were the specific situations of Beast Trainers. There were strict requirements.

On the other hand, the Feeders only needed to obtain the qualifications of a beginner-level Feeder to raise at least 20 Fantastic Beasts and sign contracts with six Fantastic Beasts.

This was because the Feeders could raise the Fantastic Beasts without signing a contract with them.

They could raise their own Fantastic Beasts or others’ Fantastic Beasts.

The reason why the continent limited the number of Fantastic Beasts for Beast Trainers was so that everyone could focus on nurturing Fantastic Beasts instead of purely using them as tools for combat.

Seeing this, Chen Qiyue nodded. This was one of the important reasons why he didn’t want to be a Beast Trainer.

Two days later, the orders he placed online arrived one after another.

In the past two days, Chen Qiyue had cleaned up the kitchen that had not been used in the rented house for a long time.

There was also a small water bed where the chopping board was originally placed in the kitchen.

Once everything was ready, Chen Qiyue began to happily wait for the juvenile Giant Ugly Fish to break out of its shell.

Two weeks actually passed very quickly. On the last day, Chen Qiyue did not do anything. He just took a small stool and squatted beside the small bucket, staring at his precious egg.

The bucket was originally full, but now the liquid inside was almost empty.

In the beginning, Chen Qiyue thought that the nutrient solution had evaporated because of his container. But now, even a fool could tell that this was not the reason.

“Looks like you’re different from the other eggs. Your size feels a little bigger. Did you drink too much nutrient solution?”

Chen Qiyue smiled and poked the eggshell.

However, he heard a cracking sound. His fingers had actually pierced a hole in the eggshell.

“Oh my god, will something happen to you?” Chen Qiyue was scared out of his wits.

“F*ck, what’s the number of the Fantastic Beast ambulance? Are we going to the Fantastic Beast Center?”

Chen Qiyue scrambled to find his phone.

However, at this moment, a “crack” sound was heard again.

He turned around and saw that the top of the eggshell had shattered, revealing a gray head.

The dark dead-fish eyes met Chen Qiyue’s.

“Chou~”

The Giant Ugly Fish called out softly to Chen Qiyue. Its voice was completely different from its dead fish eyes. It was extremely gentle, like the warm breeze of spring.

Chen Qiyue was stunned on the spot.

...

Although the Fantastic Beasts spoke the language of the Fantastic Beasts, the familiars bound to the Fantastic Beasts could understand what the Fantastic Beasts were saying.

“You’re okay?”

Chen Qiyue swallowed his saliva, and his wildly beating heart finally calmed down.

“Chou~” The Giant Ugly Fish nodded and called out softly again.

Chen Qiyue finally heaved a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

Damn, he thought that the eggshell had softened from the nutrient solution and he had punctured it, and that something would happen to his precious fish.

Seeing Chen Qiyue like this, the Giant Ugly Fish’s dead eyes were filled with attachment and gratitude.

Ever since she was born, she had a unique ability to sense everything within a ten-meter radius.

She had seen everything that Chen Qiyue had done to her clearly in the egg.

Just now, her master probably thought that something had happened to her, which was why he was so flustered.

He heaved a sigh of relief because he knew that she was fine.

...

She would not be able to find such a master even if she searched far and wide.

The Giant Ugly Fish was touched and blinked. Then, she began her next step, nibbling on the eggshell.

As she quickly finished the eggshell, her entire appearance was exposed.

She was a little different from ordinary Giant Ugly Fish.

Although she was also covered in brown spots and looked extremely ugly, and she was also a fat-headed fish, under her brown spots was a deep gray with traces of pearly gray.

Chen Qiyue took a deep breath and carefully observed the appearance and shape of his Giant Ugly Fish. He took out a soft ruler and began to measure it.

“The fin is slightly longer than the norm by one centimeter, the length of the tail is standard, the width of the body exceeds the standard, and the whites of the eyes are pure and clear…”

No matter how one looked at it, it was a normal and healthy Giant Ugly Fish.

After checking, Chen Qiyue wrote the data in his notebook and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He was scared to death. In the future, he would definitely not reach out to poke his precious egg before it broke out of its shell!

Relieved, Chen Qiyue smiled and stroked the Giant Ugly Fish’s back. “I bought you a small bathtub. When it’s filled with water, you can play in it.”

“Sorry, I almost hurt you previously. I don’t have much pocket money now, so I can’t change to a bigger house or let you stay in a spacious bathtub. Bear with it for a while.”

Chen Qiyue was still mumbling when his eyes subconsciously glanced at the caption beside the Giant Ugly Fish. Then, he was stunned again.
