Lianyi took three floating buses before she arrived at her rented place. Not to mention the surrounding environment, when she opened the door, she saw that the room was pitifully small. It was only enough for her to sleep and wash, and there was not even a place to cook.
"You should be content. The price they rent it to you is still favorable. At least it's not across regions, otherwise it will be more troublesome."
Xiaoliu took over the room's network immediately and expressed his opinion.
"I know, it's just a temporary residence, there's nothing special about it. My goal is to enter the First Academy."
Ripple’s goal is clear.
"What shall we do first tomorrow?"
Xiaoliu ordered the nutrient solution according to Lianyi's habit, and then asked.
"Let's go to the contract department of Central Star tomorrow."
Lianyi thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll plan the route. Are we going to update Duoduo's data?"
"Well, that's one thing. I also want to try my luck and see if I can contract a star beast."
Lian Yi said while lying on the bed.
"Are you sure? Now that you are an adult, if you want to try to contract a star beast, it is not free, you have to pay."
Xiaoliu said immediately.
“It’s because the planet W where I am is too small, so I don’t even have the chance to contract a star beast. And Lant is an agricultural planet, so I am really lucky to be able to contract Duoduo there.
However, you should be aware of the abilities of the Star Beasts. Maybe I am really lucky. After I contract the Star Beasts, it will be even more certain that I will enter the First Academy."
Ripple analyzed.
"You are right. If you only rely on the results of the admission examination, you really have no advantage. Now the contracted Duoduo only has an advantage in planting. Although it can be seen that Duoduo also has attack capabilities, if you contract a star beast, it will definitely be a plus."
Xiaoliu immediately began to perform a probability analysis and came to the same conclusion as Lianyi.
"Since you've said that, let's try our luck tomorrow."
"Okay, let's set off early and try to be number one."
Xiaoliu has become more and more active since entering the Central Star. Lianyi can also understand his little thoughts. Anyway, he is her helper now, so she will not interfere for the time being. Of course, if Xiaoliu does something out of line, she has plenty of ways to deal with him.
The next morning, Lianyi drank a tube of nutrient solution as usual, and then took the suspended bus to the contract-making department on the Central Star.
After arriving at the place, Lianyi looked at the high-tech building and sighed that Central Star was so rich that just one department occupied an entire 48-story building.
Lianyi first told her purpose to the receiving biochemical robot, then got her number and was asked to go to the third floor to wait.
Although she was not number one, because the robot was very efficient, it was Lianyi's turn an hour later.
"Dear Miss He Lianyi, according to the preliminary inquiry, you want to make a star beast contract?"
"Yes."
"Depending on your age, you will need to make a star beast contract at your own expense."
"I know."
"It's like this. Based on your current financial strength, we do not recommend that you enter into a Star Beast Contract."
The robot said patiently.
"Why?"
"Because even if you spend money, you can't contract a powerful star beast, and raising a star beast in the future is also a huge expense, especially for a powerful star beast. Improving its combat power and growth requires federal coins."
"Then can I contract an ordinary star beast?"
"That's fine. There are also ordinary star beasts without combat power. At most, they can keep you company. They have no practical significance and cannot be of much help to you."
The robot explained with a standard smile.
"I understand. I'm an orphan, so I'll just find a companion for myself."
Ripple said with a smile.
"Okay, I have entered your request here. Please go to the 16th floor and wait for your number to be called."
"OK."
Lianyi went to the sixteenth floor again.
While waiting, Xiaoliu said helplessly:
"In that case, there is no need for you to contract a star beast. It's a waste of Federation coins."
"Maybe I'm lucky."
Ripple said confidently.
"Okay, as long as you're happy!"
Xiaoliu felt that Lianyi was too optimistic, but he did not discourage her.
When it was Lianyi's turn, she paid another one million federal coins, and was then asked by the staff to remove her smart bracelet and the storage items she carried with her.
"What kind of star beast can I choose with the federal coins I paid?"
Ripple asked curiously.
The staff member was now replaced by an ordinary human. After reading Lianyi's information, he knew that she came from a remote small planet, so he patiently explained:
“The star beasts are not raised by the Federation, but are scattered in star beast gathering places throughout the starry sky. The fees we collect are actually used to open space channels.
The space channel opened by the fee you paid happens to be a relatively peaceful gathering place for star beasts. After you release your spiritual power, if there are star beasts willing to form a bond with you, they will come through the space channel. If not, the space channel will automatically close after a period of time. "
"I see. If you pay more Federation Coins, will you be able to connect to more powerful Star Beasts that are farther away?"
Ripple asked.
“Yes, but generally speaking, a contract with a high-level star beast requires a very high level of mental strength. Otherwise, the star beast cannot be suppressed, and the star beast will not obey obediently, especially since the stronger the star beast, the more proud it is.
On the contrary, the contract rate of the more peaceful star beast group you chose is actually higher."
"That's good. At least the federal currency I spent won't go to waste."
Ripple said with satisfaction.
"Then why can't we bring the smart bracelet in?"
"Once the space channel is opened, it will change the magnetic field in the room, which will have a destructive effect on the smart bracelet."
The staff had a lot of questions about Lianyi, but they explained them patiently.
"I understand, thank you!"
After Lianyi figured it out, he followed the staff's instructions and entered a special room. The staff then activated the isolation device and opened the space channel.
Lianyi followed the instructions, released her mental power, and then followed the passage to the gathering place of star beasts on the other side.
Because Lianyi's mental strength was too strong, those gentle star beasts stayed away from her, which made Lianyi a little depressed. Although she had not originally planned to contract a star beast, being disliked was another matter.
Finally, one second before the passage closed, a black kitten appeared in front of Lianyi. Its golden eyes were full of joy. It jumped directly into Lianyi's arms and rubbed Lianyi's chin with its head.
The staff member was relieved after seeing this scene. He thought that the other party would fail to form the contract. If this was the case, it would contradict his previous explanation.
"Congratulations, Ms. He Lianyi. You have now successfully contracted a star beast. Please come here to register."
"OK."
Lianyi smiled and went to register with the black cat in her arms.
An hour later, Lianyi carried Cyclone out of the office building of the Contract Department. Now Cyclone was also a federal star beast with a legal identity.
