Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

The secretary said, "Aren't you going to continue the tour? The Golden King loves to share his treasures with others."

"No, thank you."

Li Cunxu shook his head.

Although the treasures were tempting, they weren't his. Looking at them too much would only make him envious.

Besides, the Golden King's treasury could only be considered astonishingly extravagant, but not particularly amazing. Li Cunxu had seen bigger scenes in his previous life. The treasury he saw then made the Golden King's treasury not even qualify for the top ten.

The number one treasury was the Scavenger Old Man's treasury.

Li Cunxu still remembered it vividly because there were three Emperor Artifacts in the treasury.

Emperor Artifacts were the strongest of all artifacts, possessing the power to turn decay into magic. Some could even grant immortality and invincibility.

There were exactly forty-nine such Emperor Artifacts, no more, no less.

Li Cunxu knew where the Scavenger Old Man's treasury was located and how to enter it, but he had no interest in it.

Simply because the owner of this treasury was still alive, and this Scavenger Old Man was also an avatar of the Alliance's old chairman.

The Alliance's old chairman had a total of three avatars: one was a teacher, the principal of the Divine Capital University; one was a scavenger who liked to give pointers to others' opportunities; and one was a fisherman who liked to fish in the first forbidden zone.

Li Cunxu returned to his room and took out the Golden Dragon's dragon egg and the Orange Seed Gourd.

Li Cunxu didn't plan to contract the Golden Dragon's dragon egg himself for three reasons.

First: He didn't have any contract slots available, and he wouldn't be able to increase his contract slots in the short term.

The side effects of the Expansion Item, the Three Fruits of Winter's Cold, prevented him from adding contract slots through Expansion Items for three years. Now, there was still more than a year before the side effects ended.

Besides Expansion Items, advancing to the King rank could also increase contract slots.

However, Li Cunxu was still far from becoming a King.

Second: He didn't want to contract another dragon pet for his next pet.

The potential and combat power of dragon pets were undeniable, being top-notch among pets, but they consumed too many resources. If it weren't for Li Shiyin and the Crystal Dragon's family support, Li Cunxu would have been under immense pressure to raise them.

Moreover, the growth rate of dragon pets was too slow.

Especially for Golden Dragons, the purer the bloodline, the nobler the bloodline, the slower the growth rate.

Third: His grandfather, Li Shiji, lacked a powerful King-level pet.

Li Shiji had made his own way, so he didn't receive much support from the Holy Lotus Li family. Coupled with his upright and unyielding personality in his early years, he offended people, leading to Li Shiji's earlier contracted pets having limited potential.

One thing could well prove this point: Li Shiji had broken through to the King level now, but he didn't have a single King-level pet. All his pets were Overlord-level, and some of them were forcibly pushed up to that level by Li Shiji using Holy Meals.

Li Shiji was so strong without a powerful King-level pet. If he had one, Li Shiji would be even more incredible.

Li Shiji's Magic Lotus Eye pupil technique could revive pets. A powerful King-level Golden Dragon, rarely matched by its peers, plus infinite resurrection... Li Cunxu could already imagine how terrifying such a pet would be.

Li Shiji was Li Cunxu's backer. The stronger Li Shiji was, the safer Li Cunxu would be.

Also, Li Cunxu wanted to repay this grandfather, the source of his bloodline.

Li Shiji went to the front line, was ambushed, and was assassinated by the Four Cults of the Evil God. For whom?

It was for Li Cunxu and Li Anle. If it weren't for them, Li Shiji could have been an unrestrained and willful person like in the game of his previous life.

Li Cunxu looked at the Orange Seed Gourd again, very fond of it, and played with it in his hand.

Little White Spider discouraged him, "You'd better not have any expectations for the Orange Seed Gourd. Among the seven colored Seed Gourds, it seems that the gourds grown from the Orange Seed Gourd are the worst."

"How do you know?"

The well-read Little White Spider said, "A doctor who likes to study the history of Emperor Artifacts wrote a paper after consulting a large number of documents. It detailed the Seed Gourds that had been grown in the past and ranked the seven colored Seed Gourds."

Li Cunxu thought about it. The ranking of the Purple Seed Gourd was indeed uncontroversial.

The Purple Seed Gourd was the most famous among the seven colored Seed Gourds. Because of it, several wars were launched in ancient times, and even Venerable King experts were drawn into the fray.

The gourds grown from the Purple Seed Gourd were all very famous, such as the Purple Qi Gourd, the Purple Gold Gourd, the Transforming Purple Gourd…

The Purple Qi Gourd could produce a special purple qi, which had a similar effect to the King's Heart Gem, increasing the probability of breaking through to the King rank.

The Purple Gold Gourd produced Dragon Pattern Purple Gold. Forging it would create standard Purple Gold Dragon Coins, equivalent to carrying a small Purple Gold mine with you.

The Transforming Purple Gourd could refine a living being into a pool of poisonous transforming purple water in just three hours if they were sucked into the gourd, and even Kings would hardly escape unscathed.

Compared to the Purple Seed Gourd, Li Cunxu knew nothing about what gourds the Orange Seed Gourd had grown.

"Is there any evidence that the Orange Seed Gourd is ranked last?"

Little White Spider said, "Yes. Historical records show that the Orange Seed Gourd has grown the fewest gourds. Only three kinds have been recorded: the Orange Juice Gourd, the Orange Gourd, and the Clear Gourd.

The Orange Juice Gourd contains an endless supply of orange juice.

The Orange Gourd sprays indelible orange paint at the opponent.

The most useful of the three is the Clear Gourd, which can produce something called Clear Liquid. Dropping it into the eyes can eliminate nearsightedness, make the eyes brighter, quickly restore pupil power, and restore sight to blind eyes."

Li Cunxu smiled and said, "The Orange Juice Gourd is a bit funny, but it's not entirely useless. In the Age of Exploration, it would be quite useful to replenish Vitamin C at any time on long voyages and prevent scurvy."

Little White Spider said, "The owner of the Orange Juice Gourd was a pirate king during the Age of Exploration."

"The Orange Gourd is also a bit funny. If I opened a dye factory specializing in orange dye, I could probably make a lot of money. Its owner wouldn't be a dye factory boss or a worker, would they?"

Little White Spider said, "That's not the case. The owner of the Orange Gourd was a Beast Master who was a big fan of orange cats. Her dream was to dye all the cats in the world into orange cats, so the first thing she did when she got the Orange Gourd was to dye all the cats in the city into orange cats."

"Orange cats are different from ginger cats, aren't they! Could she really tolerate that?"

"She said in court that as long as the colors were similar, the details could be ignored."

"She's also quite a talent."

Among the three gourds, Li Cunxu really wanted the Clear Gourd. Its ability to quickly restore pupil power was something that any pupil technique eye talent user couldn't refuse.

Li Cunxu gave some orange heartwood to the Orange Seed Gourd as 'soil' and then planted the orange Orange Seed Gourd.

"Bless me, grow me a gourd with abilities similar to the Clear Gourd."
