Ke Xin was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes blinking at Lu Fei, and she remained silent for a long time.
Lu Fei took a sip of his milk tea. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he stopped and asked curiously, "Are there pearls on my face?"
Ke Xin shook her head blankly.
In the world of this little rich girl, such questions never needed consideration. What she needed to consider was how to spend money…
After a moment of thought, Ke Xin had an answer in her heart. Kuaishuge.
"Lu Fei, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you. There's no need for you to earn money."
"Pfft…"
Lu Fei spat out his milk tea.
He saw Ke Xin looking extremely serious, not like she was joking. Or, to put it another way, this young girl didn't know how to joke at all, and this was the fastest way she could think of to earn money.
Lu Fei silently summarized for Ke Xin.
He says: "Ah, I want to go to work!"
Little Rich Girl says: "Why go to work!"
Before he could even say, "If you don't let me work, will you support me?", the little rich girl had already predicted it, "I'll support you!"
Lu Fei shook his head violently, dispelling the classic dialogue between a man and a woman by the harbor from his mind.
"Cough cough…" Lu Fei said with an awkward laugh, "Class monitor, that's not appropriate."
Ke Xin tilted her head, "What's not appropriate?"
Perhaps it was quite appropriate after all… Lu Fei slapped himself, dispelling such a degenerate thought. He raised his head and said seriously, "I still want to create wealth with my own hands." He looked at the young girl with sincere eyes, "Can you understand?"
Ke Xin trembled all over, feeling an electric shock, and her face instantly flushed.
She nodded mutely, unable to speak.
After a while, Ke Xin seemed to think of something and said with some uncertainty, "I remember the Beast Tamer Association has a mission commission center. They post task requests from various industries. You can receive corresponding rewards by completing tasks."
Lu Fei's eyes lit up. He thought, "I'll go to the Beast Tamer Association tomorrow to try my luck!"
As they were about to part.
Ke Xin let out a long sigh, "Today has been a really happy day~" After speaking, she looked at Lu Fei, expecting to see a happy and joyful expression on his face too.
But there wasn't. He was constantly rubbing his chin, as if thinking about something.
That was precisely the case. Lu Fei hadn't heard a word she said. He was thinking about shower gel.
Ke Xin pouted, "Lu Fei, I'm going home now."
Lu Fei finally came to his senses and quickly responded with "ohs."
Ke Xin put her hands behind her back, stood on her tiptoes, her long skirt flowing gracefully, and she stammered, "Then… do you want to walk me home?"
Lu Fei, without hesitation, righteously and resolutely said, "How can that be! It wouldn't be good if your parents saw us!"
…
The next day.
Lu Fei arrived at Cang Town's Beast Tamer Association. It was a massive complex located in the town center. The buildings were all eighteen stories high. Not only was it the association's base, but the entire government also operated from here. Faintly visible outside the complex was an invisible energy shield, which was the defense system of the association building, capable of resisting the invasion of some rampaging contract beasts.
Lu Fei's attire today was exceptionally different. He wore a polo shirt with the collar turned up high. His hair had also been meticulously styled, with the pompadour fixed like steel needles by hair wax. The most striking feature was the pair of sunglasses he wore, exuding an undeniable aura.
Beside them stood a chicken wearing sunglasses, only half the height of a person, but exuding an air of authority.
Lu Fei had specifically researched this type of attire. Firstly, it was to avoid encountering Chen Zhanpeng or the higher-ups of the Beast Tamer Association. Secondly, it was to make himself look more mature.
Lu Fei and Brother Chicken went directly to the third floor of the Beast Tamer Association, which was the dedicated mission commission center. Staff members received and issued commission tasks, and beast tamers could pick up tasks here and receive rewards upon completion.
This was also a way to continuously improve the strength of beast tamers through tasks. For the development of the town, the stronger the beast tamers, the more prosperous and stable the town would be. When assessed by the world government, the town's level could also rise.
Lu Fei went to the front and sat on a high stool. He turned his body sideways, placed one hand on his philtrum, and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, "Hello, I'd like to accept a task."
The front desk receptionist was a young lady in uniform. After typing rapidly on the keyboard, the young lady looked up.
She was stunned.
Who… who is this lunatic? Out of professional courtesy, she smiled awkwardly but politely, "May I ask what type of task sir would like to accept?"
Lu Fei was slightly taken aback. He thought, "Tasks are categorized?"
After a moment of thought, he pretended to be experienced and said lightly, "Arrange a task for me that's easy and pays well."
"Pfft…" The young lady chuckled.
Lu Fei looked at her intently. The young lady immediately stopped laughing, "I'm sorry sir, I just remembered something happy."
This wild beast tamer is here to accept a mission for the first time… she thought to herself.
Then, she explained, "It's like this, sir. We need to assign tasks based on your beast tamer profession."
"Beast tamer profession?" Lu Fei was surprised.
But he couldn't let the other party realize he didn't understand. He nodded meaningfully and said in a deep voice, "Guess what my profession is."
The young lady's lips twitched imperceptibly, and her face darkened.
She gritted her teeth and said word for word, "I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid my eyes are not sharp enough to tell."
No intuition… Lu Fei felt a headache. He had intended to say he was whatever profession she guessed.
Lu Fei sighed, looking disappointed, "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. Actually, I'm an all-rounder."
Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling.
Lu Fei looked over and saw that the young lady was holding a mouse, but she had already pulled out its USB interface. Various other documents were scattered all over the floor.
The young lady narrowed her eyes and finally couldn't help but say, "Sir, we are busy. We don't have time for casual conversation here!"
Lu Fei's expression turned awkward, and he swallowed, "Hey, you have no sense of humor. Then tell me about the different branches of professions."
Admittedly, the young lady still had excellent professional ethics. She took out a list and said, "You can take a look at the descriptions on it."
Lu Fei took the list and read it carefully. It mentioned professions such as Breeder, Researcher, Blacksmith, Medic, and so on.
A Breeder's main job is to help employers train, evolve contract beasts, and provide托管 (tuō guǎn -托管) services.
A Researcher's main job is to study the habits of contract beasts, record their combat processes, and issue analysis reports related to contract beasts to improve their combat capabilities.
…
Lu Fei looked around. If he were to say which profession best matched his previous identity, it would definitely be Researcher. His major was in animal research, but now the research subject was contract beasts, not animals, so he couldn't take on the role.
He also didn't seem to have the ability for the other professions yet.
Money is hard to earn… Lu Fei lamented.
Just then, a burst of noisy scolding came from the lobby.
