Chapter 140 The Lonely Spiritual Pet
Zhou Lu sat on the sofa in the living room, sitting upright and upright.
Not far away, a beautiful rose was preparing tea for them.
“Don’t be so formal.”
Seeing such a restrained look, Beauty Yue Ji pressed a button on the recorder.
"Well...we are here to visit the seniors from the nursing team..." Zhou Lu looked at Hanabi who was happily picking up the fruit plate and said, "Senior, is he not at home today?"
Beauty Rose Hearing Zhou Lu's words, he showed a puzzled expression.
"If you are talking about my beast master." Beauty Yueji answered Zhou Lu's question, "She is dead. She died of illness forty years ago."
"Ah! Sorry!" Only then did Zhou Lu realize that the senior Ye Qingyu asked him to visit was the plant spiritual pet in front of him.
Sister Qingyu is also very bad, and she didn’t even explain it in advance.
Beauty Yueji saw Zhou Lu's expression and knew the reason: "It seems that Qingyu is teasing people again, like this every time."
As it said, it noticed Zhou Lu looking at its hand He looked at the recorder, then clicked the recorder skillfully, and explained:
"Some of the little tricks I learned are to have people help me record everything I can think of, and then I can use my ability to trigger it and speak the corresponding words. "
Plant beasts always need some special methods to make sounds because they have no objective vocal organs.
However, Zhou Lu estimated that with Hanabi's current learning speed, since it already understands the principles of sound and has developed its own leaf phonograph, it is not far away from making sounds or talking.
Just like AI stitching together corpses, it only needs to record the pronunciation vibrations of countless words, and then it can speak by combining these vibrations to produce sounds.
And Hanabi is still in a state of accumulation.
Zhou Lu asked him to use a leaf gramophone to record various sounds every day.
Beauty Rose seems to have not spoken to anyone for a long time.
Perhaps because Zhou Lu is also a beast master who cultivates plant spiritual pets, he recalled its former owner and actually talked about its past with Zhou Lu.
"That guy raised me to such a high level all by himself, but he died."
Even though it has no eyes, Zhou Lu can feel the sadness on it.
The higher the level of the spirit beast, the longer their lifespan tends to be.
After transformation, they have gotten rid of the limitations of ordinary life span.
Just like those mythical beasts in the Invalides, there is no problem at all living for a thousand years.
But the beast masters are different. Although they will upgrade simultaneously with the initial spiritual pets, the increase in lifespan is not very obvious.
Often the lifespans of beast masters and spiritual pets of the same level differ several times.
So, in the modern world of beast control, things like lifespan theory exist objectively.
The spiritual pet still has a long, long lifespan, but the beast master has come to the end of his life.
Some of these spiritual pets who grew up with the help of human beastmasters returned to nature, while others stayed here because they adapted to the human world.
The former has become an important helper for humans to manage the cluster of spiritual beasts in the secret realm.
Those who are willing to continue to sign contracts with humans will continue to serve humans.
But there are many others who will fall into long-term depression due to the death of their masters.
Among the many functions of the nursing team, one of the most important is the protection and psychological counseling of these spiritual pets.
This is one of the reasons why the nursing team has such a high status in today's system.
Although these lonely pets no longer contract new owners, they are very close to humans, so they will spontaneously maintain the peace of the human world.
After thousands of years of accumulation in the beast-controlling era, this kind of spiritual pets has formed a huge number.
As the organization that directly manages them, the nursing team is equivalent to possessing a large number of extraordinary forces.
And with such a long lifespan, the strength is generally not that weak.
It was as if the beauty rose in front of me was a third-level plant spiritual pet.
While Zhou Lu was thinking about this, Beauty Rose had already called Hua Huo to her side.
Beauty Rose seems to be teaching Hanabi how to use the vines better. Zhou Lu is also happy to let Hua Huo learn from these big sister spiritual pets.
"So, you still don't want to go to the nursing team?"
Zhou Lu looked at the time and asked.
This was also one of the tasks Ye Qingyu gave him.
Beauty Yueji shook her head: "I want to watch this house."
Zhou Lu was slightly startled.
The owner of Beauty Rose has been dead for more than forty years.
The decoration style of the room is a bit old-fashioned.
But it can be seen that the house has been cleaned and organized very carefully.
It is as if there is always an owner here.
Zhou Lu's heart moved.
Looked at Hanabi subconsciously.
Hanabi found her master looking at her and smiled happily at her master.
It obviously didn't know what Zhou Lu was thinking.
What the hell.
Zhou Lu quickly calmed down.
Maybe in the future I will have the skill to share the lifespan of myself with my spiritual pet.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Lu stood up and planned to leave.
Beauty Yueji sent them to the door of the unit building.
Just when Zhou Lu was about to leave, Hanabi used a vine to gently tug at the corner of Zhou Lu's clothes.
This is Hanabi's warning.
Indicates that there is danger nearby or someone is snooping.
On the surface, Zhou Lu acted as if nothing had happened and said a friendly farewell to Beauty Rose.
He took the fireworks and walked towards the bus stop outside the community with a normal expression.
Ever since he knew that Hua Huo was the target of fanatical believers in immortals like Yan Gui, Zhou Lu became very cautious.
Every time he goes to a place, as long as he stays for a period of time, Hanabi will plant branches of [Plant Mimicry] nearby for investigation.
I didn’t expect that he would encounter something unusual this time.
According to Hanabi's feedback, the other party did not take any action because of their departure.
Aren't you here for me?
Zhou Lu thought in his heart.
That’s strange.
According to the pattern Hanabi drew on Benben, the opponent was a beast master.
And what Hanabi noticed was definitely not a normal thing.
When Zhou Lu was about to reach the bus stop, he suddenly stopped.
Zhou Lu recalled several major public opinion incidents about the nursing team that Wu Xiaoqing had told him.
The causes of these incidents were caused by the beast masters extending their claws to these orphaned spiritual pets in order to evolve their spiritual pets.
These beast masters don’t have the courage to go to the wild to directly target the spiritual beasts to obtain materials, but they have the courage to use the trust of lonely spiritual pets in humans to make sneak attacks.
"Hua Huo." Zhou Lu immediately said to Hua Huo, "Have you taken back your branches?"
Hanabi said no.
"Go back." Zhou Lu hugged Hua Huo, turned around and rushed towards the residential building.
The goal of these guys is Beauty Rose!
