Chapter 22 - Sister Monroe

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The boss lady did a simple calculation and calculated Andrew’s salary during this period.

She handed Andrew a bag of Crystal coins.

“Here you go, this is your salary for this period.”

Andrew held it in his hand and briefly weighed it.

He vaguely knew that sister Monroe must have given him some extra money.

When Andrew worked in the Tamed Beast shop, the boss lady would show her care and concern for him in various ways.

The boss lady, Monroe, lowered her head and cut her nails.

She said, “Don’t weigh it anymore. Take the extra money as an allowance for you to participate in the assessment. Make sure you get a good result in the assessment and make me look good.”

Andrew was not pretentious. He nodded and accepted it, secretly remembering this favor in his heart.

The boss lady suddenly thought of something and curiously asked, “Kid, you still haven’t told me what is the Beast you have contracted. But speaking of which, according to your talent, you should have contracted a Life-type Beast.”

Looking at sister Monroe’s curious gaze, Andrew didn’t intend to hide it.

“It’s an ordinary lizard,” Andrew shrugged.

‘Eh?’

“Lizard?” the boss lady, Monroe, was stunned at first, but then she reacted.

“Kid, are you serious?”

She was instantly a little angry.

“Do you know how important your first Beast is? Why are you taking it so lightly? And haphazardly contracting with a random lizard?!”

“If you’re lacking a Beast, you can tell me. Although I don’t have any good Beasts here, it’s at least much better than a lizard!”

She was angry that Andrew had casually contracted a Beast.

As for the point she had brought up, Andrew didn’t explain.

He simply communicated with the Beast Space and summoned the iron-armored black lizard that was sleeping soundly inside.

After two days of leveling up, the iron-armored black lizard’s size had increased by a few times.

It had already begun to mature and evolve.

Its entire body when lying on the ground had already surpassed Andrew’s height.

According to its length, it had already reached more than three meters. It was like a small hill sprawled on the ground.

‘Awoo!’

The iron-armored black lizard let out a discontented cry. It was very dissatisfied with Andrew for interrupting its sleep.

At the same time, the low roar made the other Tamed Beasts in the shop cry out in alarm.

This scene also gave the boss lady a fright.

She stared at the iron-armored black lizard with her beautiful eyes.

“This… is this the ordinary lizard that you’re talking about?”

It wasn’t surprising that she was stunned, the iron-armored black lizard had given her a big shock.

She had initially thought that the ordinary lizard Andrew was talking about would just be a small thing that could be trampled to death with one foot.

She hadn’t expected it to be such a huge creature.

Moreover, this Ferocious Beast seemed to be of quite a high level. It was actually about to mature!

She clearly remembered what Andrew had said earlier about contracting his Beast. He had formed a contract with his Beast yesterday or the day before yesterday?

And yet in a day’s time, his Beast was already about to mature?

Even if it ingested hormones, it probably wouldn’t be able to grow this big!

Andrew nodded, expressing his understanding of her surprise.

To be honest, he also did not quite understand the iron-armored black lizard’s size.

Although it had a trace of Nidhogg’s bloodline, it was still a little ridiculous.

He remembered that this silly lizard seemed to have grown quite big when it was at level one, reaching a size of more than a meter.

Normally, even if the two-star Beasts were relatively special existences, they were still quite small.

This was completely unlike ordinary two-star Beasts.

“Sister Monroe, since it’s here, you should give this silly lizard a checkup and see if there’s anything wrong with its body.”

Since they were already here, he could just treat it as supporting sister Monroe’s business.

The boss lady, Monroe, came to her senses. Although she was a little surprised, she still suppressed it.

She nodded, and very soon, she began examining the iron-armored black lizard.

First, she scanned the iron-armored black lizard with a laser.

Then, she carried out various physical examinations.

Generally speaking, apart from the Soul Rings on a Beast Tamer, the star level of a Beast could also be determined by a professional Tamed Beast shop.

Using a Soul Ring to determine the star level of a Beast was very straightforward and simple, but it wasn’t always accurate.

After all, even if a Beast’s aptitude was relatively low, but its level was relatively high, its combat strength would sometimes be much higher than some higher-aptitude Beasts.

Therefore, if one wanted to accurately determine a Beast’s combat strength, other than actual combat, they would have to go through a test in a Tamed Beast shop.

In a normal Tamed Beast shop, the things that could be detected were basic energy, vitality, physical strength, and some of the Beast’s special talents.

Not long after, the results of the test came out.

After the results of the test came out, the boss lady, Monroe, looked at the report in her hands and was extremely surprised.

“Young man, are you sure that your Beast has a two-star aptitude? According to its physical fitness level, even a three-star Beast of the same level might not be as powerful as your Beast!”

Earlier, she had heard from Andrew that his Beast had a two-star aptitude.

Now that she had seen the report, her originally somewhat calm mood began to fluctuate again.

“Hm? Its physique is that strong?”

Andrew looked at the silly lizard beside him and had some thoughts in his mind.

Although he had a premonition that this silly lizard’s physique was very likely not something an ordinary two-star Beast could compare to, he didn’t expect its physique to be so strong.

‘Roar!’

The iron-armored black lizard seemed to have sensed Andrew’s thoughts. It let out a low roar and looked at Andrew with dissatisfaction.

Its gaze seemed to say, “Am I really that bad in your eyes?”

Andrew stroked its big head and comforted it.

The boss lady, Monroe, was a little excited when she heard this.

“Young man, you’ve picked up a treasure this time. This kind of Beast that looks like a two-star, but actually grows to be comparable to a three-star, is very rare.”

“Oh right, what is its ability? If its ability is also very strong, it’s definitely an invincible existence to those at the same level!”

Andrew said after a moment of hesitation, “It only has two talents, Venom and Poison Resistance.”

Andrew didn’t say much about the other abilities. After all, when it was related to the system, he still had to hide what he should hide.

“As expected… with such a strong constitution, its skills won’t be too strong. However, this is already very rare.”

Monroe nodded, expressing her understanding.

After saying that, she suddenly moved closer to Andrew. He was not sure if it was done intentionally or not.

“Looks like you will very likely get a good ranking in this year’s school assessment. If you’re going to be successful in the future, don’t forget about me.”

Andrew took a step back without batting an eyelid at her actions.

“Don’t worry, sister Monroe, I will.”

This woman was very mysterious in Andrew’s eyes. Without knowing her background, Andrew would not have much in-depth communication with her.

The boss lady, Monroe, seemed to be very satisfied with his behavior.

She moved even closer to Andrew.

She spread her arms, leaned forward, and hugged Andrew’s neck.

“Young man, don’t be seduced by other women. I’ll always be waiting for you in this shop.”

Her breath even landed on Andrew’s face..
