Qin Xiao was still a little sleepy, so upon hearing this, he quickly activated his symbiotic skill and life flow to recover his condition.

I jolted awake and felt much more alert.

"What are you saying? I'm doing this for cultivation. I can handle it."

Qin Xiao said righteously.

"So, you're not practicing the Beast Taming style, you're practicing dual cultivation, right?" Ye Qinghuan retorted irritably.

Looks like she's a girl who reads novels.

"Nonsense, with so many beasts to tame, who else could be a beast tamer if not me?"

"I didn't see it at all," Ye Qinghuan said as she walked towards her room.

"I'm going out today to check out the academy quests, and I've finished crafting my gear. Do you want to come along?"

Ye Qinghuan waved her hand, "I won't go, I need to focus on my cultivation."

If you take on any easy missions, Captain, it would be great if you could take me along.

I want to find a mentor to learn how to train fire-type beast tamers, but I don't have enough credits.

Qin Xiao nodded, "Okay, let me see. If I find something suitable, I'll take you to play with it."

Ye Qinghuan entered the room, and Qin Xiao casually knocked on Lu Chengxiao's door.

"Hurry up!"

"knew!"

Upon hearing the response, Qin Xiao walked into the bathroom without looking back.

The huge bathroom was still filled with steam.

Beside the oversized bathtub, there was Ye Qinghuan's bear-themed underwear.

So that girl was taking a break just now, right?

Qin Xiao stroked his chin, went to the bathroom, and went downstairs to the living room to wait.

Soon, Lu Chengxiao came downstairs, already dressed.

"Go, go, go quickly and come back quickly!"

Lu Chengxiao grabbed Qin Xiao's arm and pulled him up.

What's the rush?

"Psionic energy, ten times the concentration of psionic energy! Staying here for a day is equivalent to absorbing several platinum-grade spirit crystals. How can I not be anxious?"

His money-grubbing nature is becoming increasingly apparent.

After the two went out, Qin Xiao first activated the transportation security department's authentication signal on his wristband.

Then they summoned Youyou, and the two rode Youyou directly towards the Lu family's equipment workshop.

The production area is located in the third ring area, which is almost entirely filled with shops of all sizes.

The Lu family's equipment workshop and store were located at the end of a crossroads, and it was quite impressive, with more than a dozen shops connected together.

Qin Xiao and his companion fell from the sky and jumped to the ground. Youyou shrunk into a small form and followed behind Qin Xiao.

Upon entering the shop, one could see a few beast tamers scattered throughout, selecting equipment.

As soon as Lu Chengxiao entered, a staff member came to guide him, leading Qin Xiao and the other person towards the VIP area at the back.

Soon, refreshments and tea were served, and Zhou Fei, the equipment customizer from a few days ago, also arrived quickly.

"Miss, hello Mr. Qin."

"Stop talking nonsense, Sister Feifei, hurry up and take the things out. As long as there are no problems, we're in a hurry."

Lu Chengxiao urged while eating his snacks.

Zhou Fei glanced at Qin Xiao, "Wait a moment, it'll be here shortly."

Soon, a small trailer carrying a large pile of iron blocks arrived.

"This equipment has added spatial crystals. In order to prevent accidents, it cannot be stored in a spatial bead, so I had to bring it here like this."

Qin Xiao stood up and walked towards the vehicle rack, looking at the gold and red equipment on the rack.

The equipment is purplish-red overall, with specks of gold light floating on its surface. The gold light seems to be alive, flowing across the equipment.

It looks great and the color scheme is nice too.

He summoned Ilya and Jingjing, saying, "You three, hurry up and give it a try."

Jingjing and Youyou were easy to deal with; the equipment was simple. They simply transformed into the appropriate size, attached themselves to the body, and used their blood and spiritual energy to infiltrate and refine them.

Ilya crawled into the makeshift barrier, changed her inner clothing, and began to put on her armor.

Soon, all three beasts were dressed in their equipment, and Jingjing and Youyou tried changing their size.

The armor also changed size accordingly, without any abnormalities or problems.

Qin Xiao cut off a small piece and let Jingjing control the metal to restore it.

With the infusion of vital energy, the missing piece of equipment was quickly restored.

"Mr. Qin Xiao, equipment can be repaired by its own Qi and spiritual energy even if it gets scratched, damaged, or broken."

However, if too much has been lost or reduced, restoring it will require adding more raw materials.

Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, especially as Ilya emerged from behind the cover.

Her purple-red armor, shimmering with gold, was absolutely stunning, making Ilya look like a goddess descended from heaven.

Good, good, that's exactly what I want – armor!

"Great, great, I'm very satisfied."

With that, the equipment forging was completed, the contract was signed, and the matter was considered settled.

The material costs were initially a little short of the estimated amount, but the Lu family was generous and waived them.

It's estimated that the other party made a considerable profit from this deal.

After leaving the Lu Family Workshop, Qin Xiao put away Youyou and rode Ilya along the Beast Taming Path.

Lu Chengxiao followed behind on a white sheep.

"Junior...no, elder brother, hurry up, let's go back after we finish our business."

Qin Xiao walked on with satisfaction, while Slovic and Bai Ling also curiously came out of the space.

The dazzling array of shops inspired women's innate skills.

An hour later, Lu Chengxiao's defenses completely collapsed, and he joined the group of people who only looked and didn't buy anything.

At 4:30 PM, if Lu Chengxiao hadn't remembered that the academy's mission office closed at 5:30 PM, the group would probably still be wandering around.

Rushing back to the academy area, Lu Chengxiao led Qin Xiao in a hurried rush to the mission site.

Along the way, quite a few people greeted Lu Chengxiao; as the top female healer, she certainly had some influence.

Upon entering the mission area, Qin Xiao's first impression was that it was similar to the old-fashioned stock market from his previous life.

The room was filled with countless control screens, staff members were in small cubicles, and several large screens were scrolling.

On the large screen, regional missions from various places were scrolling by, and these missions were basically connected to the intelligence systems of the three services.

Moreover, the nature of these tasks is that they are mostly mercenary in nature, either helping to 'fight monsters', assisting in wilderness exploration, or exploring secret realms.

"Look at the tasks above; these are all subject to change in real time, and there are also some long-term tasks."

You can do it on the small machine over there that accepts tasks. If you have any special requirements...

Alternatively, you can return the task and have it confirmed; you can get assistance from a human representative there.

Qin Xiao looked at the mobile missions for a while but didn't find anything interesting or lucrative.

Arriving at a small machine, you can open the interface and, in addition to entering the task acceptance code, view long-term or fixed tasks.

Qin Xiao glanced at them briefly; they were mostly stationed in secret realms, patrolling the borders of the capital, or clearing obstacles and reclaiming wasteland in the wild.

"Aren't the three branches of the armed forces manpower enough?" Qin Xiao asked curiously, since the missions were basically being handled by soldiers from all three branches of the armed forces.

Lu Chengxiao shook his head, "There are just too many new secret realms appearing every year, especially in the wild."

The armed forces are severely lacking in mid-to-high-level combat personnel, and the shortage is now even more acute.

It is said that a large number of military academies will soon be established, directly recruiting students from the public, no longer as laissez-faire as before.

Qin Xiao seemed to be deep in thought; the situation was becoming increasingly serious.
