They had originally t at the assessnt center and then had experienced so many things together. For Wei Zhi, he and Loopy Toad shared a fate that was already no longer so shallow; they could even bump into each other online, which seed a little incredible.
Wei Zhi couldn't help sighing with feeling as he directly typed a string of words into the private chat window on the spellmaster platform: "Online marriages are connected by a single line, our eting was fated."
Loopy Toad stared at these words, feeling like it had heard them before, and was imdiately stunned. "Do you also watch Lord Island's live stream?" When it was typing, Loopy Toad took extre care to clearly differentiate between the nickna "Lord Island" and the Daoist na "Daoist Guang." Given that most people didn't know Lord Island's true identity, Loopy Toad naturally wouldn't let it out.
"That's right, wasn't this a line Lord Island said before? This Lord Island is so aweso! He's a new live strear, but it hasn't even been a week since he started and there are already several million viewers," Wei Zhi said in the chat window.
Loopy Toad hadn't expected Daoist Guang's live stream to attract so much attention; almost everyone around it was watching it.
It realized that actually, it had a lot to talk about with Wei Zhi. It didn't know whether or not it was because Wei Zhi was frequently in contact with spirit beasts, but it felt that Wei Zhi gave off a sense of empathy.
One of the most important indications that you could beco friends was being able to talk.
So if you really had to say it, Loopy Toad felt that it had three friends now: one was Dopey Guo, one was Little Silver and the last was Wei Zhi.
Dopey Guo was a good pal who generously supplied Loopy Toad with dog food tailored for it.
Little Silver and Loopy Toad were of the sa kind, and it could tease this naive person.
Wei Zhi was a person whom Loopy Toad had already had an adventure with. You could say they had things in common, which was the most crucial point! This person was Dopey Guo's legendary uncle! Though this uncle obviously wasn't a biological one, he was still one of Dopey Guo's many uncles!
In Loopy Toad's opinion, Dopey Guo's uncles were no less mysterious than Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's friend, the all-powerful Little Black who ran a secret laboratory on the border, and the Immortal Zhenyuan whom everyone had heard of but never seen.
As for Wang Ling... the reason why Loopy Toad didn't include Little Master Ling in its circle of friends was much simpler.
Little master was forever little master; the distinction had to be clearly made!
A friend was for sharing your feelings with and the little master was a big thigh to hug...
Loopy Toad was thoroughly clear on this point.
"When did you beco a spellmaster and start taking in disciples? Aren't you a pet trainer?" Loopy Toad started to ask after they had exchanged greetings.
"It's a side business; there are also different types of spellmasters. As pet trainers who, after all, are very familiar with spirit beasts, a lot of us serve as spellmasters who specialize in teaching skills to spirit beasts."
Wei Zhi said, "Besides, you've also seen my place. Do you think I don't need money to set up that high-tech green environnt? I also have several rooms that have yet to be optimized, and all of these need money! My monthly electricity bill alone is so high."
Loopy Toad was surprised. "Isn't your family quite rich?"
Wei Zhi: "I'm soone with a dream."
Loopy Toad: "..."
Wei Zhi: "Don't look at my situation right now, the money I'm earning is at least enough for to live on. But when all is said and done, I'm raising so many animals. It isn't just Pushing Large Butterfly, I also have to take care of the other spirit beasts that I have contracts with! The electricity bill is peanuts if you think about how much I spend on food...
"I set a goal for myself, which is to form contracts with at least two spirit beasts every year. At the beginning of this year, I ford a contract with a spirit python called Big Snake End, and this guy can really eat! So in the later half of the year, I ford a contract with Pushing Large Butterfly. Do you know why?"
Loopy Toad: "Why?"
Wei Zhi: "Because it doesn't eat much!"
Loopy Toad: "..."
If things continued like this, Wei Zhi felt that he would quickly beco so poor that he would have to change from raising spirit beasts to raising insects... though spirit bugs were also classified as spirit beasts.
Compared with large spirit beasts, a lot of pet trainers felt that these smaller spirit bugs were actually tacky and embarrassing.
Of course, there were spirit bugs that were larger in size, but Wei Zhi's current problem was how costly his food expenses were. The larger the spirit beast, the more it ate, which would probably be no less than his Big Snake End.
Since he had chosen to form contracts with spirit beasts and beco the number one pet trainer one day, Wei Zhi felt he should be responsible for the spirit beasts he had contracts with.
"So you're doing this side business for money?" Loopy Toad hadn't thought that given Wei Zhi's identity, he would actually be short of money.
"Yes, that's why I have several jobs at the mont. I work mainly as a pet trainer, but I'm also a spellmaster in the field of spirit beasts, and I specialize in teaching other people's spirit beasts how to cultivate skills." Wei Zhi sighed and typed with a plaintive air, "Sotis, I also do power leveling..."
"Power leveling?"
"Helping other people take their spirit beasts out to cultivate until they've gone up one level before coming back!" Wei Zhi said. "I can make a fast buck with this! But it's also the least used service! For professional pet trainers like us, we can only rely on these types of thods to make money since our realms aren't very high. That's why food expenses are such a big problem!"
"..."
As soone who had once been the tenth generation leader of the Sky-Swallowing Toad clan, Loopy Toad was actually well aware from experience why spirit beasts could eat so much.
In those days, the entire Toad clan had had to consu more than a hundred million tons of flies each day. Furthermore, these flies were different from the ones in the human world: they were gigantic monster flies, and each monster fly was as big as an elephant.
Cultivators were particular about fasting: the higher their realm, the less they would eat.
But spirit beasts were quite the opposite, and they actually ate a lot. Why had Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal put so much money into Little Silver's e-wallet? Most of it was actually for Little Silver's food expenses so that he could use it to order take-out.
From this comparison, Loopy Toad imdiately realized that its appetite seed pretty small since it ate almost the sa amount as an ordinary dostic spirit dog – it didn't know whether or not this was because it was cultivating the "Demon King Heart Sutra" as modified by Little Master Ling...
"By the way, Brother Dog, did you really look for my little disciple's store because you wanted to learn a level five spirit technique?" Wei Zhi asked.
Loopy Toad tapped on the keyboard: "Oh, no... I don't have any level five spirit techniques, I just wanted to tease him a bit, that's all."
"That's what I thought..." Wei Zhi nodded.
Given Loopy Toad's character, he didn't think there was anything illogical about it.
However, he couldn't help sighing as he replied, "High-class beast spells nowadays are too hard to co by. A level five spirit beast skill volu, with copyright and shares included, can buy two apartnt units in Jinghua's first ring! The only level five skill volu I've ever seen in my life was a spirit beast transformation spell; it's a little like a cultivator's magical transformation spell, except that this spell can even imitate aura."
"Oh?"
Loopy Toad tsked. "Is there such a thing?"
"Didn't my disciple recomnd their store's 'Crying Attack'? Actually, this close combat spirit technique is part of a set with the spirit beast transformation spell I ntioned just now. They were both created by a person called Crying Old Immortal. And this person is the vice president of our Pet Trainers Guild," Wei Zhi explained.
Loopy Toad nodded. "I see... what is this spirit beast transformation spell called? I'll take a look at it later."
Wei Zhi: "It's called 'Little Ying's 100 Transformations'!"
Loopy Toad: "..."The character 'ying' is the kanji for 'sakura.' This refers to the "Cardcaptor Sakura" manga and ani magical girl series.This is adapted from the online phrase "The Internet is connected by a single communication line" which is generally the first half of a sentint denoting friendship.
