Long Teng and Huo Feng had two spaceships. Xue Yue and Da Hei were stored in the space capsules, taking up no space. The Giant Python and Giant Armored Beast were on the spaceships, and there was even room for them to move around.
At 8 PM, the spaceships landed on time at the Brant Star Space Port. The appearance of the Giant Python and Giant Armored Beast immediately caused a sensation.
Fortunately, Xie Sen had contacted Sun Mao in advance, and Gold Medal sent a large shuttle to pick them up.
Xie Sen calmed the two, who were agitated by being watched, and led them to the large shuttle, directing them to board and quickly disappearing from the sight of the onlookers.
Huo Feng, seeing that he had settled the contracted beasts, said goodbye, and Long Teng followed Xie Sen and Maine to Gold Medal.
Twenty minutes later, Xie Sen brought the Giant Python and Giant Armored Beast to Zones Four and Five. When they entered, the Giant Leopard Beast was walking towards the corner, preparing to turn off the live broadcast.
The viewers in the live stream were instantly excited when they saw Xie Sen and his two contracted beasts. Seeing the giant leopard beast walk towards the wall, they shouted in front of the screen while rapidly typing, "Ahhh! Don't turn it off!"
Based on their experience over the past two days, they knew this was a sign the stream was about to end.
The chat was immediately flooded with "Don't turn it off!"
"Don't turn it off! This is the first time I've ever seen a giant python and a giant armored beast!"
The contracted beast other than the black giant leopard beast saw Xie Sen and immediately ran towards him.
The black giant leopard beast, very professionally, glanced in that direction, suppressed its urge to rush over, continued its program, let out a soft roar, and then turned off the live stream.
"Wow! Why did it turn off? So frustrating! Let me see it one more time!"
"I forgot to send a gift! The giant leopard beast doesn't even know we called!"
"Yeah, the giant leopard beast manages the live stream; it doesn't read the chat! Is it too late to send a watermelon rain now?"
Clearly, it was too late. Through the black screen of the live stream, the viewers saw their own deep regret.
Xie Sen gently patted each of the contracted beasts that rushed towards him. The beasts, satisfied with being soothed, circled the giant python and the giant armored beast, chirping softly and asking all sorts of questions. The
giant python answered them all patiently, while the giant armored beast buried its head in its chest, wishing it could curl into a ball.
Xie Sen chuckled as he looked at the giant tiger beast that was nuzzling the giant armored beast's head, and reached out to rub its side of the neck: "The giant armored beast is shy, don't scare it."
The contracted beasts looked at the giant armored beast in surprise. Contracted beasts could actually be shy?
Xie Sen stroked the giant armored beast's golden scales, reassuring it in his mind, "Don't be afraid, they're all very easy to get along with. They're being so enthusiastic because they're welcoming you."
The giant armored beast slowly raised its head and let out a soft, gentle cry, "Hello."
The contracted beasts immediately returned the greeting, looking at it curiously. The giant tiger beast exclaimed, "Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen a giant armored beast!"
Under the gazes of many, the giant armored beast slowly lowered its head, its voice barely audible, "Our clan spends a lot of time underground."
The black giant leopard beast ran over, turning its large head, "Where's the flying dragon beast? Where is it?"
Xie Sen looked at it in surprise, "How did you know there was a flying dragon beast?"
"The feeders mentioned it during a chat."
Xie Sen suddenly realized, looking at Long Teng, "Let's release the flying dragon beast so they can get to know it!"
Long Teng opened the spatial clasp, and the flying dragon beast emerged, letting out a long, easy roar, excitedly greeting the contracted beasts, and instantly engaging in lively conversation.
Xie Sen chuckled, inquired about the giant python and giant armored beast's requirements for their resting environment, and immediately discussed it with the giant tiger beast and others. They determined a resting place for the two and began making arrangements.
He looked at the contracted beasts, pondered for a moment, and said to Maine, "It's not convenient for them to always be at the Gold Medal. They've made a lot of money from live streaming. Let's buy a larger place specifically for them." He smiled, "It would be even better if it were close to the apartment. Consider it a guest room for our special friends."
Maine said, "The apartment is rented. I'm planning to buy a house." He thought for a moment and said, "There's a large open space not far from the apartment. Anguang District is in a remote location, and land prices aren't high. How about we buy a large plot of land, design the house and the contracted beasts' living quarters ourselves, and build a new one?"
Xie Sen's eyes lit up. Ordinary houses certainly wouldn't meet the requirements for the contracted beasts' living quarters. A new one would be the best. They wouldn't need bathtubs at all; they could just build a large swimming pool with a drainage system, which would be much more convenient.
"But this is definitely a huge project," he asked. "Will it take a long time?"
"Building the houses will be quick," Maine said. "Our house plus the one for the contracted beasts will be finished in a month."
"So fast?" Xie Sen was astonished.
Maine nodded. "I'll contact the landowner tomorrow to see the price and then decide how much area to buy. You decide what the houses will look like."
Xie Sen smiled. "Then I'll look for some pictures online for reference."
"Xie Sen, are you going to build houses for us?" the giant lion asked.
Xie Sen nodded. "Yes, it's not convenient to always live here. You earned the money for the houses yourselves, you're great."
The giant lion wagged its tail. "I want tall trees!"
"Me too!" Little Spot immediately rubbed against Maine. "There are no trees to climb here, it's not fun. I want to climb high."
Xie Sen thought for a moment. "Trees might not be an option, but we can build tall stairs, okay?"
The two were very satisfied, and the black giant leopard also nodded. "Great, this is it!"
Xie Sen then asked the other contracted beasts what facilities they wanted so that he could design them in advance and avoid making changes later.
Each contracted beast enthusiastically expressed their requests, showing particular excitement about finally having their own territory.
After clarifying everything, it was already late, so Xie Sen told the contracted beasts to rest early and left Districts Four and Five. Long Teng returned to his grandfather's residence, intending to go back with them.
Just as Long Teng reached the apartment door, it suddenly opened, letting in bright light. Xu Da hugged him tightly, his voice excited: "A-Teng, congratulations on your contract!"
Long Teng smiled and hugged him back: "Grandpa, why are you back?" He looked at Long Yu and An Ming behind Xu Da, "Father, Dad, why are you here too?"
"You brat, such a big event, of course we have to celebrate!"
Xie Sen heard the voices from next door, smiled, and followed Mei Yin into the house.
The two went to the bathroom to shower. When Xie Sen came out, his bracelet beeped with a notification. He opened it and saw a transfer of 50 million from Long Teng.
He was stunned and immediately contacted Long Teng: "Why did you transfer so much money to me?"
Long Teng laughed: "Dad told me to transfer it, I forgot before."
Xie Sen: "It doesn't need to be so much money, I didn't do anything, besides, the contracted beasts have been staying at the gold level without being paid!"
"This price for an S-rank contracted beast is already very cheap," a gentle voice came, Xie Sen recognized the voice, it was Long Teng's father, An Ming, "Ah Sen, take the money, it's what you deserve."
"It's too much, I'll take ten million," Xie Sen said.
"If you're too embarrassed, just accept 20 million. After all, it's an S-class contracted beast," An Ming said.
Xie Sen finally compromised, and after hanging up the call, he transferred 30 million to Long Teng. He looked at the account balance and sighed. He really hadn't done anything, and receiving so much money made him feel a little guilty.
"What's wrong?" Maine put her arm around his waist from behind, her chin gently brushing against his neck.
Xie Sen felt a tickle and tilted his head slightly, raising his wrist to show him his balance: "Long Teng just transferred 50 million to me, and I returned 30 million. I didn't actually do anything."
Maine took his hand, squeezing his fingers: "If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have formed a contract so soon. To them, you're the one who found the contracted beast, so paying is only right."
Xie Sen sighed: "This is too lucrative," he thought of the contracted beast dealers he'd heard about on Mine Star A, "No wonder some people take the risk."
"Not every beast master can successfully form a contract with a beast. Finding a suitable beast master takes time."
After Maine finished explaining, he turned his head and gently bit Xie Sen's earlobe: "You deserve all of this. Don't overthink it, go to sleep."
Xie Sen's breathing became erratic, amused and helpless. Maine's appearance didn't seem like he was going to sleep.
Maine kissed Xie Sen's earlobe down to the back of his neck, slowly pressing him down on the bed, kissing down his back, all the way to Xie Sen's curled-up toes.
Xie Sen rolled over, propped himself up on the bed with his elbows, and hooked his foot around Maine's shoulder: "Come on!" He was burning up from Maine's ministrations and couldn't take it anymore.
Maine looked up at him, his eyes deep and unfathomable, like the bottomless ocean. The next moment, he pounced on him, kissing him passionately. After a while, he pulled away slightly, his voice dry: "Don't do this, I can't control myself."
Xie Sen thought to himself, he clearly likes it! His hand slid down Maine's shoulder: "I can't control myself either, let's do it together."
The two made love passionately and fell asleep satisfied.
The next day, Monday, Xie Sen sent Maine to make breakfast to avoid Maine clinging to him again while he was washing up. After all, they were young and full of vigor, and couldn't resist teasing.
After washing up, he went to the living room sofa to wait for breakfast, opened the system panel, and the bottom of the fifth blank page showed 158/800, which meant that the fifth plant needed 800 energy to activate, and he was still 632 short.
Xie Sen thought for a moment. Considering the 8 energy points Maine gave him each day, he would get about 20 energy points a day at work, and over 30 on weekends.
This meant he could activate the fifth plant within a month.
He asked Adan, "Adan, can you sense the location of the next energy now?"
Adan replied, "Yes, I've recovered two types of energy. My total energy is enough to sense the locations of the remaining energies, but recovering the earth energy consumed a lot of energy, so I need to rest for two days."
Xie Sen said, "No rush, you rest well. I'll take this opportunity to collect more energy, and I also have things to take care of."
Adan said, "Okay, Xie Sen is the best! I'm going to rest now."
Xie Sen opened the calendar. This year was Star Calendar 2288. He arrived in this world on March 26th. Before the energy was recovered, his safe period was one year. Now that he had recovered two types of energy, he would be safe until at least March 26th, 2290. After
recovering the earth energy, his uncontrolled time increased from twelve hours to sixteen hours, which meant he was completely safe as long as he didn't stay up all night.
He couldn't help but laugh. Both energy recoveries went smoothly and quickly, giving him confidence that he could recover the remaining three types of energy within two years.
He had breakfast with Maine, who personally drove him to work at Gold Medal.
After clocking in, he walked towards his office and bumped into Sun Mao. Sun Mao's eyes lit up, and he put his hand on Xie Sen's shoulder: "Wow, you're amazing! You went out for two days and brought back three high-level contracted beasts, including an S-rank one!"
Sun Mao exclaimed, "I've never seen anyone better at finding contracted beasts than you. The reward for just one contracted beast is more than your lifetime salary, and your livestream income is also very high. I thought you were going to quit."
Xie Sen smiled. He initially worked at Gold Medal to earn a living, but now it was entirely for energy collection.
Although visiting orphanages to spend time with the children yielded a lot of energy, there were few orphanages, and going every day would reduce the energy gained, plus it was exhausting. Besides, now that the contracted beasts were all at Gold Medal, he could visit them from time to time while working there.
He said, "I like this job."
Sun Mao laughed, "I think so too. No one in the department is more enthusiastic than you."
After chatting for a few minutes, Xie Sen received his work notice and went to the trauma room to bandage the wounds of a grumpy wolfhound. The wolfhound's owner was overjoyed to see him and exclaimed, "Xie Sen!"
Xie Sen smiled at him, calmed the wolfhound, and then treated its wounds.
After that, every job he took, whether it was giving injections, treating wounds, or bathing contracted beasts, was recognized.
He truly felt that he had become famous.
During his lunch break, he planned to see the contracted beasts. On his way to Zones Four and Five, he was surrounded by onlookers, and several people even confessed their feelings to him. Xie Sen was speechless and seriously stated that he had a boyfriend, then walked even faster.
As soon as he entered Zones Four and Five, rhythmic, high-energy music suddenly filled his ears, and for a moment he thought he had entered the wrong place.
He looked at the contracted beasts. Except for the giant armored beast lying nearby watching, the rest were all swaying to the music. Two giant leopard beasts were at the front, swaying and occasionally switching positions at lightning speed.
Even the giant python beast, which had only arrived the night before, joined them, its long body soaring into the air, swaying in a wave-like motion with the music. It would even pause briefly to strike a pose when the music stopped.
The music was so energetic that they didn't even notice Xie Sen entering. Xie Sen, exasperated, rubbed his forehead and walked towards them.
The giant armored beast was the first to notice him, wagging its tail and rubbing against him. Xie Sen stroked its scales: "How did you sleep last night? Are you adjusting well here?"
"Very good, they're all doing well, and this place is very good too," the giant armored beast whispered.
Xie Sen looked at his contracted beasts dancing energetically: "Why...why did they suddenly start dancing?"
"The black giant panther said their daily live stream content was too monotonous, the viewers were bored, and they were also bored now that they didn't have to hunt, so they wanted to make the live stream more exciting. They watched other popular live streams, and singing and dancing were very popular. They said singing would scare people, so they chose dancing instead."
Xie Sen's lips twitched. They knew singing would scare people, but watching live streams? Playing music? How did they do that?
He voiced his question, and the giant panther said in a light voice: "Big Black came to play with us this morning. Its owner helped us set up the live stream program, and he also chose the music. Later, it said it was going to deliver plants to a friend, so it took Big Black with it."
Xie Sen wanted to laugh when he heard the down-to-earth name Big Black. Knowing that Long Teng had been there, he smiled. That's more like it. If the contracted beasts had set it up themselves, they would really be sentient.
The giant tiger swayed and then spun around. Halfway through, it saw Xie Sen and immediately stopped spinning, running up to him: "Xie Sen, don't you think we danced beautifully?"
Xie Sen suppressed a laugh: "Hmm, very good." In fact, their muscles were solid and powerful, and their dance was indeed quite visually appealing.
As soon as the giant tiger beast moved, the other contracted beasts stopped dancing and gathered around. The giant python beast had the easiest way; its head arched over the contracted beasts, forming a long bridge, directly reaching Xie Sen.
Xie Sen raised his hand and patted its head, then ruffled the rest of the big guys' hair, his mind filled with various voices asking, "Ah Sen, did I dance well?"
Xie Sen answered them all wonderfully, and the contracted beasts wagged their tails happily.
Not long after, the song ended, the music stopped, and the gift announcement became clear: "'Awesome' sent the streamer a watermelon rain, hahaha, amazing, right? They even know the dance! Let's do it again!" "
'Haha' sent the streamer a watermelon rain! The streamer has finally reappeared! Did the streamer specifically go out to find their contracted beasts this time?"
Xie Sen opened his bracelet and entered the live stream room, smiling slightly: "Not specifically, just a coincidence."
The chat was full of comments: "I don't believe it, it must have been on purpose! There's no such thing as a coincidence!"
Xie Sen shrugged, offering no further explanation. He asked the contracted beasts if they liked dancing, confirmed they did, downloaded a music player on his personal computer, and moved to the streamer's interface.
The top quarter of the interface was occupied by the remaining buttons, and the bottom three-quarters had the player on the left and the live stream switch on the right.
The giant leopard beast quickly memorized the settings but made a request: "We want to watch live streams and TV when we're bored."
Xie Sen thought for a moment, then placed a live stream button on the top right (this was a universal live stream software, with all streams arranged from highest to lowest popularity), and a TV channel button on the left.
The height above was too great for the giant leopard to reach with its claws, so Xie Sen handed over the task of watching the live stream and television to the giant python. The python was clever and remembered it immediately.
Xie Sen communicated with his contracted beasts by touching their brains. Viewers saw him and his contracted beasts gathered in the corner but had no idea what they were doing.
"Host, go back to the middle! You haven't been live for two days, and your camera presence has gotten worse?"
"The giant leopard always goes there to turn the live stream on and off. I'm curious what the host is doing."
Xie Sen glanced at the comments, confirmed that the giant leopard and the giant python had memorized the button, and told them to go back to the middle. He then left Zones 4 and 5 to eat and take a nap.
Zones 4 and 5 were originally used by the gold medalists to feed A-level and S-level contracted beasts. They were located at the very back, furthest from the office area.
Xie Sen hadn't gone far from Zones 4 and 5 when someone suddenly called out to him from behind: "Xie Sen."
Xie Sen subconsciously turned around and saw a female, slightly taller than him, pressed against his back. At the same time, a hard object pressed against his lower back.
Shesen's pupils contracted sharply. The female had delicate features, but her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with a frenzied hatred. Shesen remembered him; he was Rilo's father, Soria.
"Don't move, or I'll flip the switch immediately," Soria said grimly.
Xie Sen said, "Are you crazy? This is a gold medal, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Do you think you can escape after you make a move?"
Soria: "I am crazy! It's all because of Maine that I've gone mad. He killed Rilo and framed Sokto. I won't let him get away with this. Aren't you his boyfriend? Do you think he'll come to save you?"
Xie Sen instinctively felt something was wrong. If Soria wanted to take revenge on Maine through him, he should have already done it, instead of warning him not to resist: "What do you want to do when he comes?"
Soria smiled hysterically: "Of course, I want him dead! Stop talking nonsense, now, contact him and tell him to come over."
Xie Sen hesitated, and the weapon in Soria's hand pressed even tighter against his waist: "This is the latest model of the Mystic Particle Cannon. Don't even think about escaping, or it will pierce you in the next second. Of course, if you don't do as I say, I don't mind shooting your legs through first."
He whispered, "If I didn't want Maine to see me torture you from beginning to end, I would have done this the first time I saw you. You actually rejected Rilo back then, you really had no taste." You pervert
! Xie Sen cursed under his breath. He raised his hand, looked around frantically, and blinked frantically, hoping the security personnel in front of the monitors would notice his distress signal.
At that moment, the security personnel in front of the monitors were contacting the maintenance department, looking puzzled: "The surveillance footage from the outer perimeter of Zones 4 and 5 has suddenly disappeared. Come and check what happened!"
"Hurry up," Soria urged, sneering, "Don't get any funny ideas. Do you think I'd let the surveillance ruin my plans?"
Xie Sen thought to himself, "I'm doomed." Remembering the parking lot surveillance being destroyed last time, he guessed Soria had tampered with the monitors.
He dialed the communication button, quickly thinking about how to use the plants in the system to ensure safety.
Just as he pressed the call button, a muffled groan came from behind him, and the object against his waist released its grip.
He turned around in surprise, only to be met with a pair of large hands holding a wet towel. Before he could even hold his breath, he only saw a tall, short-haired man before losing consciousness.
Hearing the question coming from the communication device, the short-haired man quickly turned off Xie Sen's bracelet, putting it into a frozen state.
"Hey, boss, this guy took care of the surveillance, which was a huge help." The tall, thin, light gray-haired man kicked Soria, who was lying on the ground.
The short-haired man said in a deep voice, "Take him away quickly, someone will notice something's wrong soon."
The light gray-haired man summoned his contracted beast, a huge kangaroo beast, and carried Xie Sen to the front of the kangaroo's pouch. He asked the short-haired man, "Boss, what about him?"
"Take the weapon from his hand, it's a good thing. Ignore him."
The two of them walked towards the golden gate with the kangaroo beast, looking like they had just finished taking care of it.
At lunchtime, the Flying Eagle Beast, which was returning to the fourth and fifth districts to eat, saw the two of them clearly from the sky. However, Xie Sen's face was covered by a handkerchief, so it couldn't see his face clearly.
It looked in the direction where its food was placed, hovered in the sky for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew higher to catch up with the two of them.
On the other side, Maine didn't hear Xie Sen's reply. When she heard the notification that Xie Sen's bracelet was turned off, her face instantly turned extremely ugly.
He switched to the location screen and saw that Xie Sen's location was moving towards the intercity transportation station. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.
