Chapter 3: Contract Separation and Healing Queen Bee

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

Fang Yuan was from an ordinary family. If it was not a joyous occasion, they rarely dined at a restaurant.

He and his mother finished a sirloin steak.

When they returned home, they were ready to sleep.

As usual, his mother poured him a cup of first-aid bee’s water by the bedside.

This honey water had the effect of disinfection, sterilization, and recuperation of the body.

Fang Yuan drank half of it and gave the other half to the shadow wolf that loved sweet food.

Then, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, he would enter the elementary level arcane realm for special training. He had to rest up.

The next day at dawn.

Fang Yuan was woken up by his mother. It was much earlier than usual.

“Mom, are you going to work so early today?”

He rubbed his eyes in a daze, wondering if it was because of the recent promotion to head nurse in the hospital that made his mother’s work harder?

When he opened his eyes, Fang Yuan realized that his mother’s face was full of fatigue.

“Xiao Yuan, the arcane realm is dangerous. If you encounter a problem that you can’t handle, safety first. Don’t try to be brave, understand? Bring this first-aid bee with you. It’s an excellent support-type pet, and it will help you in the arcane realm.”

His mother held out a pale golden contract gem.

In the middle of the gem was a drawing of a bee.

This was the first-aid bee’s contract gem.

Fang Yuan said in surprise, “Isn’t the first-aid bee your natal contract pet?”

According to his original body’s memories, he knew.

In the contract between humans and pet beasts, there were two types of contracts: companion contracts and natal contracts.

Between them, the natal contract was the most special.

The pet beast and the host who signed such a contract could be said to share the same fate.

If the host died, the pet beast could not live alone.

If the pet beast died, the host would forever lose the ability to contract the pet beast.

In a world of pet beasts, this was a crueler blow than losing one’s life.

In the case of Fang Yuan’s mother who took the initiative to strip her own pet, although there was no immediate risk of death, it would also cause great harm to the body.

However, in order to strengthen her son’s strength, she still made this choice.

Fang Yuan looked at the contract gem.

The first-aid bee was his mother’s only pet. His mother had given everything she had to him. Now that the natal contract had been stripped away, this action was irreversible.

In other words, even if he refused to accept it, the harm his mother had to suffer would not be alleviated by his rejection.

Fang Yuan nodded.

He decided to accept the first-aid bee first. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind.

He had to tame a better pet in the arcane realm and bring it back to his mother as her new natal contract pet.

[ Ding. Contract gem detected: Level 3 first-aid bee, medium-grade black iron.]

[ Do you wish to increase your strength by 100 times? ]

[ Host can choose from the following ways to increase your strength. ]

[ First, give up on increasing your strength by 100 times, obtain medium-grade black iron, level 3 first-aid bee. ]

[ Second, increase your strength by 100 times, obtain medium-grade black iron, level 4 first-aid bee. ]

[ Third, increase your strength by 100 times, obtain low-grade silver, level 3 healing queen bee. ]

This time, he naturally chose the third item without hesitation.

From bee to Queen Bee, just hearing the name gave him a feeling that the effect was extraordinary.

Fang Yuan took the contract gem.

He watched as his mother left for work.

After he was ready, he took the compressed dry food from home, carried the horn water bag on his back, and headed to the entrance of the Obelisk of the arcane realm at the back of the mountain of the school.

According to the degree of difficulty, the arcane realm was divided into three levels: elementary, middle, and high.

Elementary level was suitable for trainers to carry level one to level three pets for trials The time speed in the arcane realm was 1/3 of that in the outside world.

Intermediate level was suitable for trainers to carry level 4 to level 6 pets for trials. The time speed in the arcane realm was 1/30 of that in the outside world.

High level was suitable for trainers to carry level 7 to level 9 pets for trials. The time speed in the arcane realm was 1/300 of that in the outside world.

Higher-level arcane realms were not accessible to trainers of their levels.

And depending on the environment inside, arcane realm could also be divided into more than ten attributes, such as grass, water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, thunder, sun, moon, and so on.

Like the obelisk at the back of the mountain of the school, it was shimmering with a light green light.

It was obviously of grass attribute, elementary level arcane realm.

Every arcane realm in the world had its own guardian who was responsible for deciphering the contents of the obelisk, developing the accompanying resources beside the obelisk, and managing and registering the entry and exit personnel of the realm.

The guardian of the arcane realm in the back mountain was the school’s vice principal, Yao Yong.

Yao Yong was usually a serious person.

He was the kind of discipline manager who would enforce the law strictly and punish those who broke the law.

Even the most mischievous student would be terrified if the vice principal Yao’s name was mentioned in front of him.

“Fang Yuan, a third-grade student from Class D?”

“Yes.”

Knowing Yao Yong’s personality, Fang Yuan did not explain much. He only gave his student number to confirm his identity.

“Two silver-quality pet beasts?”

Yao Yong raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised.

Then, he changed the topic. “But you still have to act carefully. Take your materials and protect your life. Come out in a day.”

The materials he was talking about referred to the basic items that every trial-taker who went to the arcane realm would be given.

One of them was a time hourglass.

The sand in the hourglass represented the amount of time one could stay in the arcane realm.

If one wanted to leave the realm ahead of time, one only needed to smash the hourglass.

But most trial-takers naturally hoped to stay in the arcane realm for as long as possible. The realm was a rare opportunity. The longer one cultivated, the more opportunities there were.

This was because one would be teleported randomly when entering the realm.

There were also unlucky people who were chased by ferocious monsters and escaped the moment they entered.

The hourglass was prepared for such an emergency.

In addition, there was a normal grade blank contract gem that could be used to capture pet beasts on its own. There was also a bottle of mini strength mix that could be used to replenish one’s physical strength.

Usually, students who could go to the arcane realm would have a good family environment, so they didn’t specially pay much attention to these things.

However, to Fang Yuan, one more resource was an additional resource.

He took the bag, “Thank you, teacher.”
