Ming You, who traveled with a spirit beast cultivation system, had never seen a "spirit beast" with an attribute panel for nineteen years, until he came to work at a dilapidated animal sana...
Mingyou started banging away at the old treatment device with his tools. He said he could turn it into a body monitor specifically for spirit beasts, and Arthur Tiger believed him for the time being.
Arthur the tiger is now lying one meter away from Mingyou, staring at Mingyou with his tiger eyes.
Mingyou's sudden appearance of "superpowers" was terrifying. And this young man, on the other hand, acted as if "this is normal," as if he was used to it.
Arthur was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the young man You.
"Huh, done." Mingyou wiped the sweat and engine oil off his face and smiled at the big black cat, "Big Black, come and try it."
I see what the devil you've done. Arthur got up and walked slowly to the machine.
Listening to the crackling sound of electricity coming from the machine, which sounded definitely abnormal, Arthur was terrified and had the illusion that the machine would explode at any moment.
Mingyou connected the data interface of the detector to the system and obtained detailed physical data of Arthur.
He looked at Arthur's physical examination report and was silent for a while, and tears could not help but fall.
Arthur was walking around the machine, observing what the hell it had been transformed into. Seeing Mingyou crying, he tilted his head in confusion: "Ah." Why are you crying?
Mingyou sniffed, rushed to Arthur, hugged Arthur's head, buried his face in Arthur's scarf, and choked out, "Your mental strength is exhausted, your superpowers are disordered, you are malnourished, and you have many old injuries all over your body... Who abused you so cruelly?! Is it someone from this animal sanatorium? I know it! There is definitely something wrong with this animal sanatorium!"
Huh? Arthur twisted his body and broke free from Mingyou's embrace. He smeared Mingyou's face with his meat pads and smeared it twice.
Don't cry, why are you crying? Why don't I understand what you are saying?
Mingyou held Arthur's paw that was wiping his tears, his expression filled with grief and indignation: "I will definitely get you out of here!"
Arthur: "...where to escape?"
Mingyou was stunned. He thought carefully for a moment and said hesitantly, "Perhaps, we can try to escape to the Chaos Star Region?"
The jurisdiction of the Star Alliance is divided into the Central Star Zone, the Autonomous Star Zone, and the Exploration Star Zone. The Exploration Star Zone, also known as the Chaos Star Zone, is a lawless zone where illegal organizations such as pirates gather.
Arthur's big, furry face showed a very obvious "Are you stupid?" expression.
"There will always be a way!" Mingyou showed his mysterious confidence again, which made Arthur yawn.
He licked his paw, wiped his face with it, and said, "I was injured on the battlefield. It has nothing to do with the sanatorium. This sanatorium is full of spirit beasts that cannot be cured by current technology and are waiting to die."
"Battlefield?" Mingyou put his hands on his knees, knelt obediently, and waited for Arthur to explain.
It wasn't that he wanted to sit on his knees, it was just that there wasn't even a chair to be found in this crappy sanatorium.
"Did you know about the Zerg invasion two years ago?" Arthur raised his beard proudly. "I'm a hero who made great contributions in the war!"
Mingyou thought about it and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"It seems that a small group of Zerg troops got lost and were annihilated by the Covenant outside the Covenant border?" Mingyou said uncertainly.
Arthur's smug expression froze. He said in disbelief, "What small Zerg force got lost? This was a massive Zerg invasion, okay? Do you know how much it cost us to hold the Zerg off in the outer battlefield and prevent the war from spreading to the Covenant?"
Arthur was so angry that he turned into an exploded black fur ball, his tail swung like a propeller and his ears turned into a straight line.
Mingyou really didn't know. The initial reports on the war on Sky Blue Star alluded to the idea of it being a small matter, a minor conflict, and that ordinary people across Sky Blue Star paid no attention to it.
"Forget it, forget it. It's probably for the sake of maintaining stability." Arthur curled up into a big fur ball, his tail clacking against the floor. "The battle is still going on at the front. If there's chaos in the rear..."
"Ahhhhhhhh no! I can't stand this!" Arthur lay down on the ground before he could finish his words. He didn't even bother to cover his bare pink belly. He rolled left and right, twisting himself into an oversized cat-worm. "It was just for maintaining stability during the war, but now it's been a year! Why don't you give us proper publicity? I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health." Mingyou quickly hugged the squirming cat Arthur and comforted him. "Maybe Sky Blue Planet didn't advertise because it's in an autonomous star zone, and the governor of the autonomous planet doesn't want to increase the reputation of the Star Alliance?"
Arthur stopped rolling, his cat face aggrieved: "Really?"
"Well... I'm not sure either." Mingyou told the truth.
Arthur snorted heavily, got up from the ground, squatted on the ground, raised one of his front paws and slapped the ground hard.
"When I'm better, I'm going to get to the bottom of this! I want to get to the bottom of this for the tens of thousands of comrades who died on the battlefield!" He slapped the ground with his paws. "Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Arthur's eyes were red.
Mingyou was stunned: "Tens of thousands?"
Arthur sniffed and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Cats’ tear glands are too short, what a problem!
Mingyou remained silent. He took out a tissue and wiped Arthur's tears. Arthur, unusually well-behaved, lay on the ground, his head resting on Mingyou's lap, allowing Mingyou to comfort him.
The two were silent for a long time. After their emotions calmed down, Mingyou asked quietly, "Is there anything I can do to help them?"
"You can do a lot." Arthur's cat-like eyes, washed by water, shone like gold in the sun. "Heal me, and I'll go and ask for justice."
"Okay." Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best he could do. "There are other spirit beasts in this animal sanatorium, right? I'm not sure if the medicine and food we have right now can save them, but I can give them a physical examination first."
"If they regain consciousness, they will come to this yard on their own. If they haven't, they will attack you like ordinary beasts when you get close to them." Arthur had thought about calling all his subordinates to show Mingyou. "When I regain some strength and can use my supernatural powers, I will take you to find them."
"Their vital signs are still stable, and there's still plenty of time. I don't trust anyone else and can't let them interfere in this matter." Arthur rubbed his head against Mingyou's leg and stood up. "You have a lot of secrets too, but as long as you stand by me, I will help you keep them. You should also be careful and don't take anything out."
Mingyou said hurriedly: "I'm not that stupid! I usually hide it very well! I only told you!"
Arthur frowned: "It's strange that you only told me this. We are not familiar with each other, why do you trust me so much?"
Mingyou said: "Because you are a spirit beast, spirit beasts don't lie!"
"There are plenty of deceitful spirit beasts out there." Arthur raised his claws to scratch off the black line on his head and threw it to the ground.
But Mingyou was particularly stubborn at this moment: "I know that there are good and bad spirit beasts. But you are not one of them. I am a spirit beast master, and I can feel the hearts of spirit beasts. Dahei, your heart is as warm and dazzling as the sun. You are definitely the kindest spirit beast!"
"Can you see the energy fluctuations that occasionally emanate from me?" Mingyou stretched out his finger, and light blue energy waves rippled from his fingertips. "I couldn't control this energy before, but now that I have a spirit beast partner, I can control and release it freely."
"In addition to life force and mental strength, the human body also possesses a power that only intelligent creatures possess: the power of emotion. What I am using now is this emotional power, called the power of the heart, or the power of bond."
"Just like some people have exceptionally strong vitality and are good at fighting; some have exceptionally active mental powers and are good at telekinesis. There are also some people who have the talent to skillfully use the power of the mind. I am one of them."
"I can't see through people's hearts, but I can read the hearts of spirit beasts, and I can also let spirit beasts read my heart."
Arthur looked at the energy fluctuations emanating from Mingyou's fingertips, raised his claws, and placed them on Mingyou's fingertips.
At that moment, he felt as if a torrent of emotions that didn't belong to him flowed into his heart. It was like a spiritual fusion, like a touch of soul. Without words, he could feel Mingyou's unconditional love and trust in him.
This love and trust was so direct and passionate that it confused Arthur.
"I have to correct you. Don't make random comparisons. If my heart were like the sun, you'd have already been scorched to ashes." Arthur retracted his claws and pretended to be nonchalant. "Also, your mind power, why can you read the minds of spirit beasts but not humans? That's strange. Didn't you say that all intelligent creatures possess similar energy fluctuations?"
"I'm a spirit beast master. Of course, the power of my mind can only communicate with spirit beasts." Mingyou had an expression of "this makes sense", which made Arthur doubt Hu Sheng again.
Arthur even suspected that there was no extraterrestrial power behind Mingyou, and that he himself was an alien! Otherwise, how could one explain this young man's completely abnormal thinking?
After this confusing conversation, Arthur was exhausted. He could only repeatedly remind Mingyou to keep the secret and not to show anyone else anything that didn't exist in this galaxy, not even in front of other spirit beasts!
In short! Ask him before you make any decision!
Mingyou nodded vigorously. “I understand.”
"You don't ask about my identity?" Arthur licked his paw, glanced at him, and felt a little uneasy.
If the young man asked him who he was, would he tell him or not? If he did, they had only known each other for two days, and it would violate confidentiality. If he didn't, the young man trusted him so much, and he didn't want to betray that trust.
It really makes the tiger's head look big.
"Spirit beasts can be used on the battlefield. Just say that even the leaders of the Star Alliance... maybe the leaders of other factions know about spirit beasts, but these matters are confidential to the general public." Mingyou may be inexperienced, but he's not stupid. "Dahei, you said you weren't abused by this sanatorium and even trusted it. If you weren't deceived..."
"How could I be fooled!" Arthur lowered his head, kicked his hind legs, and charged with his tiger head!
Mingyou smiled and hugged Arthur's big furry head that bumped into him. "Okay, okay, Dahei will definitely not be fooled. What I mean is, your identity is not only your own business, but also a military secret, right? I came here by accident, and there must be a probation period for me to be accepted by you. I will wait patiently until the day you tell me."
Arthur looked up, his big round eyes as adorable as a kitten's. "You knew that? Then why are you telling me so much? Aren't you afraid I'll tell on you, and then, snap, you'll be locked up and used as research material?"
"You are my partner and my closest family in this world. I believe you will protect me." Mingyou's eyes were filled with a stubbornness that Arthur could not understand, and he unconsciously emitted light blue energy fluctuations.
The fluctuation of mental power.
This time, Arthur not only felt Mingyou's love and trust for him, but also felt Mingyou's deeper emotions.
Fear, loneliness, and even despair, like a cold ocean with no end in sight.
In this suffocating cold, Mingyou's feelings for him are like a lone boat in the waves, a lighthouse in the thick fog, the only warm existence in the boundless cold sea.
He suddenly understood Mingyou's unreasonable trust and persistence in him.
Although I don't know why Mingyou chose him, but...
Silly child.
"The probation period is three months. After three months, I will tell you everything you want to know." Arthur put away his frivolous attitude and looked cautious and serious, like a tiger king standing at the top, exuding an aura that is completely different from usual.
For the first time, Mingyou felt for sure that the status of this spirit beast might be even higher than he had imagined.
"Of course, if you perform well, your probation period will be shortened." Arthur spoke in a domineering tone for a few words. After that, he lay on the ground like a boneless person, his head buried in Mingyou's arms, and motioned Mingyou to help him comb his scarf. "For example, nutritional blocks and so on, you understand."
"Pfft, I know. I'll try my best to satisfy you." Mingyou laughed. While helping Arthur comb the long hair on his scarf, he asked softly, "Dahei, can you tell me your name?"
"Name, Arthur." Arthur squinted his eyes and looked at Mingyou, to see if Mingyou could guess anything from the name.
If Mingyou figured it out himself, it wouldn't be considered a leak, Arthur said confidently.
"Ah, Dahei is so powerful, is he the king among Arthur?" Mingyou exclaimed.
Yes, yes, I am indeed a royal family... Wait? Is there something wrong with what you said, young man?
"Are all Arthurs big black cats? Are there any other colors of Arthurs?"
Emmmm...something is wrong...
"But even if they look similar, Dahei is definitely the strongest and most handsome Arthur!"
Huh? Even if you praise me...
"Even if I meet other Arthurs in the future, Dahei will still be the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in my heart! No matter how many Arthurs there are..."
"Ahhhhh!" Arthur almost hit Mingyou's mouth with his claws!
What other Arthurs! Where do all those Arthurs come from?! I'm the only Arthur... Pah, only me!
