Chapter 425: Chapter 228: Ke Mingye’s Contracted Beast, the Dice Monster, and the “Clock Customer Alliance”_2

[Congratulations, you have named your Contracted Beast “Kobe”.]

[Item “Magical Contract Beast – Kobe” has been added to your inventory.]

“Really don’t know what this Contracted Beast looks like, whether it will be kicked flying by a pretty girl if it goes out on the streets.”

Ke Mingye sighed in relief at the name, still finding it somewhat unbelievable that he had inadvertently paid homage to a legendary basketball player from his previous life.

Truthfully, he thought that these Magical Contract Beasts were a bit like insurance salesmen, only with a gold medal salesman’s attitude could he convince the clients.

Luckily, the usual target customers for Contracted Beasts were underage girls; not many would choose to contract with aunties, but magic aunties did exist, and some Contracted Beasts would stop at nothing for the sake of performance.

As he made his way toward the abandoned train station in the Old Jingmai District, he checked the information about the Magical Contract Beast in his inventory.

[Item Name: Magical Contract Beast – Kobe]

[Item Rarity: Unique (One of a kind)]

[Item Grade: B+]

[Item Introduction: This is a sprightly Magical Contract Beast, and its appearance can vary among “canine,” “owl,” and “pig” categories.]

[Contracted Beast Level: Lv.1 (The Contracted Beast has a total of 3 levels, each unlocking allows the creation of one Contracted Beast clone, and also permits contracting a new ordinary girl, turning her into a Magic Girl)]

[Current Level Privileges: At present, you can create 0 Contracted Beast clones, and you can contract with up to 1 Magic Girl.]

[Note: Depending on the aptitude of the Magic Girl you contract with, there is a certain probability of encountering holders of “mutant Magic Wands” or holders of “rare attribute Magic Power”.]

Ke Mingye “Oh–“ed, thinking to himself that he was familiar with this since Xiaohongmao was a holder of “Snow Attribute Magic” and Ash, Kokonoe Sakura, and others were holders of “mutant Magic Wands”.

So that meant when choosing an ordinary person to sign a contract with, one must consider whether they had the potential to become a Magic Girl. Otherwise, contracting with several Muggles would be utterly ineffective?

With this in mind, he continued reading.

[“Magical Contract Beast – Kobe” can assess the aptitude of ordinary girls twice a day; please use this ability to confirm their aptitude before signing a contract with them.]

[“Magical Contract Beast – Kobe” can extract Magic Power from the Magic Girls you contract with for your use. (If necessary, you can even take out the Comet Fragments within the contracted Magic Girls’ bodies, which can turn them back into ordinary people, but also has a certain probability of causing instant death)]

Ke Mingye was slightly taken aback upon reading this, “Wait, so am I using the Contracted Beast to sow seeds, creating artificial Magic Power pools for Xiaohongmao?”

He suddenly understood the function of the Magical Contract Beast.

By contracting with an ordinary girl and granting her Magic Power, as she grows stronger, the Magic Power within her will increase exponentially. At that point, the Contracted Beast can recycle this exponentially growing Magic Power for its own use.

It was like giving out high-interest loans for the Contracted Beast, and for the ordinary person, it meant acquiring superpowers they never had before. It was evidently a fair trade that benefitted both parties.

Besides, as long as you don’t forcibly extract the Comet Fragments inside them, it doesn’t endanger their lives.

Comet Fragments couldn’t directly be converted into Magic Power, nor could they be directly placed into those who had already become Magic Girls. So, it was impossible for the Contracted Beast to stuff those Comet Fragments into Xiaohongmao to double her aptitude.

One had to admit, it wasn’t as foul as he had imagined. Since he had granted others power, it was only natural to retrieve it from them.

Of course, the annoying part was that this would turn these three unlucky ones into Superhumans, making them targets for players. It was like giving a little girl a one-year Magic Girl Experience Card, with the catch being death upon expiration.

However, if necessary after a year, Ke Mingye would try to see if the Contracted Beast could extract the fragments within them: since death was the eventual outcome anyway, it was worth taking a gamble. If successful in retrieving the fragments, they could become ordinary people again, no longer enemies of the players.

While contemplating, Ke Mingye stepped into the Old Jingmai District.

He opened the closet door and saw the upgraded battle suit. The interwoven red and blue metallic sheen was pleasing to the eye. If one needed to describe the difference from the original, it had gone from a spandex-wearing freak to a Masked Rider.

After putting on the Blue Owl Battle Suit, he soon arrived at the Superhero Association building.

His timing was perfect, arriving at the agreed-upon 8 a.m. meeting time with Octopus Man. At this time, the building was not crowded, leaving the entire structure unusually empty and serene.

Blue Owl and Octopus Man had used a software to arrange to meet in the restroom on the 7th floor–this place was chosen because there were no surveillance cameras inside, and their conversation wouldn’t be overheard.

And not to mention, the restroom environment of the Superhero Association was very good. It was as clean as offices of other companies, and there was not even a hint of odor, only the smell of perfume.

Blue Owl and Octopus Man stood against the wall, Blue Owl with his legs slightly bent, stepping on the wall, casually sipping the Americano he had bought on the way–he couldn’t handle bitterness, so he added cube sugar and milk.
