Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 294: Chapter 180: Hong Ji’s Screen Debut

Yu Juanjuan, who was still in her livestream advertising for Hong Ji, felt a tinge of regret.

Tomorrow, she and Bai Chen were scheduled to act as model students for a Starlight Academy event, leading underclassmen on an expedition into a Secret Realm.

This was a major annual event hosted by Starlight Academy, and attendance was mandatory barring exceptional circumstances.

Yu Juanjuan was in such a rush to have Hong Ji act as her substitute host so that Hong Ji could maintain her channel’s popularity while she was away exploring the Secret Realm.

Since she had to report to Starlight Academy early the next morning, Yu Juanjuan had only prepared a small amount of food for Hong Ji.

’When she realizes there isn’t enough food during the stream tomorrow,’ Yu Juanjuan thought, ’Hong Ji will probably get the food she needs for the broadcast herself.’

During their video calls over the past few days, Yu Juanjuan could tell that Hong Ji was also very much looking forward to this livestream.

Zhong Yi placed the Source Material Celestial Shuttle on his bedside table and drifted off to sleep early.

As Zhong Yi slept soundly, the faint golden light emanating from the Source Material Celestial Shuttle transported him back to that small, confined room.

Zhong Yi was in no hurry to leave the room. Just like the day before, he continued to browse the free documents provided by the Virtual Source Network.

When Zhong Yi logged out of the Virtual Source Network and opened his eyes back in reality, he had a much clearer understanding of what the Virtual Source Network truly was.

The Virtual Source Network could be considered an Otherworldly Space capable of gathering Creatures from all worlds.

It was just that the barrier to entry for the Virtual Source Network kept out the vast majority of Creatures from these various worlds.

The only ones who could enter were powerful individuals capable of acquiring Divine Origin Value on their own, and a few others, like Zhong Yi, who had directly obtained a Source Material Celestial Shuttle.

Among those numerous documents, Zhong Yi also learned a crucial piece of information.

Other worlds, unlike the Guardian Beast World, did not rely on Contracted Guardian Beasts for combat.

Each world possessed its own unique civilization and methods for growing stronger.

However, among all professions, being a Guardian Beast Master was considered a noble one!

This was because Guardian Beast Masters often raised multiple Guardian Beasts, and nurturing each one required a massive amount of resources.

As a result, at an equivalent level of power, Guardian Beast Masters spent far more resources to increase their strength.

’So being a Guardian Beast Master is an aristocratic profession!?’

In Zhong Yi’s view, it wasn’t so much that being a Guardian Beast Master was a noble profession because raising Guardian Beasts required more resources.

Rather, it was that the nobles from other worlds, who already controlled vast resources, were more willing to become Guardian Beast Masters!

Having multiple Guardian Beasts to raise certainly provided a greater advantage when fighting in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

The next time he entered the Virtual Source Network, Zhong Yi would continue reading these documents.

Only when he had finished most of the documents would he choose to leave the room provided by the Source Material Celestial Shuttle and explore the actual environment inside the Virtual Source Network.

For the next few days, Zhong Yi’s main tasks were to help Tao En heal his damaged soul and to wait for Flower Venerable to contact him through the Signal Cicada.

Zhong Yi was very curious about the abilities and effects of the seed parasitizing Flower Venerable’s body.

What could it be to have piqued the Soul-Controlling Flower’s interest so much!

Zhong Yi hadn’t formed a Contract with any Guardian Beasts in Longya City, so he now had three extra Soul Taming Seeds on hand.

Zhong Yi planned to form a Contract with the Cloud Ridge Boundary Dragon he had obtained from Tao En, as well as the Endless Wood from Flower Venerable.

After that, he would level up the Guardian Beasts he didn’t plan on bringing into the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, such as the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon and the Soul-Catching Gu Mother—Guardian Beasts capable of controlling other Guardian Beast Masters and forming Contracts with Bizarre creatures.

These two Guardian Beasts would not be of much use in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

However, once their Tier and Quality were raised, they would help Zhong Yi better control other Guardian Beast Masters and form Contracts with Bizarre creatures.

Zhong Yi had just brought out the Cloud Ridge Boundary Dragon’s Dragon Egg, preparing to use a Soul Taming Seed to form a Contract with the Tier Three Silver Quality of the Fantasy Tier Cloud Ridge Boundary Dragon, when he received a call from Hong Ji.

"Master, I’ve arrived at Juanjuan’s place. The stream is starting in a little over ten minutes."

"Do you want to watch my first livestream?"

Zhong Yi knew Hong Ji was taking this livestream very seriously, and he could hear the anticipation in her voice.

It was like a little kid asking their parents if they would come to watch their school play.

The Guardian Beast World didn’t have as many livestreaming platforms as Zhong Yi’s previous life. There was only one, called Light Mirror.

Zhong Yi hadn’t downloaded Light Mirror on his phone before, but since Hong Ji wanted him to watch, he immediately installed it.

"Of course, Hong Ji. I’ll definitely be there to watch your first livestream."

Zhong Yi planned to send Hong Ji some gifts once her livestream started.

When it came to his own Guardian Beast, Zhong Yi was determined to provide maximum emotional support.

Hearing Zhong Yi’s promise, Hong Ji gleefully hung up the phone, fired up and ready to start the livestream.

Opening the refrigerator, Hong Ji saw the food Yu Juanjuan had left for her: a pot of braised pork ribs, four raw fish hand rolls, and a large fruit cup.

The food had been left in the refrigerator. If Hong Ji wanted to eat it during the livestream, she would have to heat it up.

Otherwise, the fat on the refrigerated braised pork ribs would have congealed, and eating it cold on the livestream would be far from appealing to watch.

Besides, Hong Ji never really liked eating cooked food in the first place.

She would usually join everyone at the dinner table, but only to have a small taste.

So, Hong Ji decided to prepare her own food instead.
