Leaving the villa area.
Lu Yu's original plan was to return and rest after carving the Secret Ritual, preparing to face the Nightmare that could come at any time.
But he never expected a pure-blooded Succubus like Lilith would give him a Mana Refill. Now, he felt like he had just walked out of an Andrology Hospital after a full recovery, brimming with energy all over.
"Ying?"
Go home for training?
The King of Involution, the Little Spider, submitted an overtime request.
"…"
The fear of being listless and utterly drained by the Little Spider today flashed through Lu Yu's mind, leaving him with a lingering sense of dread.
Wouldn't going back just mean another day of feeling completely drained?
But he didn't have the money to buy Magic Potions that replenished mental energy either…
Yet, he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud. So, Lu Yu said with a completely straight face, "Since we're already out, we can't spend all day thinking about going home to dream.
Life isn't just about the daily grind before your eyes; there's also poetry and distant horizons. Let's see the sights outside, and while we're at it, take on some missions to earn some extra cash to unlock your Void Matriarch's Nest skill!"
"Ying…" The Little Spider nodded, a hint of disappointment on its face.
Grinding Proficiency was addictive.
But it still raised its hand energetically, expressing its desire to earn money and support the family!
"So good."
This adorable expression filled Lu Yu with a profound sense of guilt.
Why did it feel like being human simply couldn't compete with being a Pet Beast when it came to involution!?
Urahara, I reject my humanity…
Just kidding, he had to remain human, and life had to go on!
The most pressing matter was still making money. Since redeeming the Gold Medal also had mission requirements anyway, he might as well complete them together.
Step one to making money: take out his phone.
Step two: open the pink… I mean, open an app called [Beast Tamer's Home].
Because Great Abyss City was located in the Borderlands, both the Alliance and the Beast Tamer Association were housed within the Myriad Beast Tower of the Starry Host, sharing the same office building, and their systems were interconnected.
When Lu Yu previously registered to use the Gold Medal, he was automatically registered as a Red Copper Rank Beast Tamer with the Beast Tamer Association, with the ID [Dusk Crow].
In the past, accepting missions required going to a specialized counter to complete procedures, a process that was cumbersome. But with the development of modern technology and upgrades in information and communication technology, coupled with the Alliance Chief President actively promoting streamlined processes, They emphasized building a "Beast Taming Center at Your Fingertips" centered on the masses and based on credit, serving the citizens and Beast Tamers of Great Abyss City, covering government services, public services, and convenient services, striving to handle affairs online without leaving home.
After just a facial verification, one could accept missions through the APP. Although only Silver Rank and Red Copper Rank missions were available, it was a significant step forward and was already being promoted across the entire Alliance.
This was perfect for lazy dogs like Lu Yu who couldn't be bothered with cumbersome procedures.
However, because he was a new Beast Tamer, after setting the location to Great Abyss City, only one-star Red Copper Rank missions appeared on his panel.
He needed to complete a sufficient number to get promoted, alongside a rating mechanism.

[…]
A series of Red Copper missions, some issued by officials, some by private individuals, so there were inevitably some oddballs trying to fish in troubled waters.
One needed to discern for themselves.
For example, the one about catching the Bamboo Sprout Goblin seemed ordinary but was actually a trap.
The Bamboo Sprout Goblin, with a Racial Potential of Mid-tier Servant, wasn't strong and wasn't good at fighting. But this Plant-type Pet Beast was like a Ginseng Spirit, extremely timid.
It would flee at the slightest sound, hiding in the bamboo forest to conceal its aura, even burrowing underground.
Being hard to catch and tasting good made it a proper mountain delicacy, quite popular among the upper class, with a high price.
It was already selling for 50,000 yuan on the black market. This guy was offering 10,000—utterly black-hearted.
It was posted just to deceive new Beast Tamers, making these fresh-out-of-society laborers go through great pains to catch one, thinking they were helping someone. In reality, these scumbags would just turn around and sell the Bamboo Sprout Goblin, netting 40,000 yuan profit, while cursing about how easy it was to earn money from idiots.
There were many similar cases. However, the Alliance only cracked down on Malignant Incidents that threatened lives.
They didn't have a comprehensive ban on these, or perhaps it was just impossible to ban everything.
Lu Yu guessed the Alliance also wanted new Beast Tamers to gain social experience and grow up quickly through setbacks, as long as it wasn't life-threatening.
You might not remember when others are good to you, but if you pass by a barbecue stall at night, go home, and realize the boss overcharged you five yuan and shorted you a rice cake, that's something you can remember for a lifetime.
Master Lu was kind-hearted and couldn't stand to see the Scalpers' shameless behavior.
So he clicked , saw them get rate-limited, then posted his own mission to find a Bamboo Sprout Goblin, directly copy-pasting the Scalpers' text and changing the reward to 15,000 yuan.
Scalpers just scammed people, but he was contributing to tempering the new generation of Beast Tamers.
A Beast Tamer of the people.
Tears welling up!
Aside from that, he looked around and found the rewards for Red Copper Rank missions weren't high.
The Blood Leech mission reward was decent, but the location was the Vampire Swamp. The round trip alone would take a day, and he'd have to search through the swamp mud, potentially getting sucked blood by them in return.
It was purely hard-earned money.
Moreover, he had tried Leech Therapy when his eyes were injured before and had psychological shadows.
He didn't want to see those things.
The best mission among them was the hunt for Maddened Blood Hyenas.
If he encountered enough hyenas, he could easily make tens of thousands.
But there was only one spot left…
Lu Yu stroked the non-existent stubble on his chin, feeling the efficiency of making money was still too low.
Completing one mission could earn ten or twenty thousand, but submitting the mission required review, and accepting a new mission also took time. The back-and-forth would take over half an hour.
He couldn't do many missions before it got dark.
Might as well kill a few more Maddened Blood Hyenas.
Lu Yu pondered, about to accept the hyena mission, when he suddenly noticed the Gold Medal certification tag next to his profile picture, which included two special Authority introductions.
They were: the maximum number of missions that can be accepted simultaneously is 5, and the maximum number of missions that can be accepted in one day is 20.
A sudden inspiration hit Lu Yu:
"Got it!"
……………………
On the other side, inside the Myriad Beast Tower of the Starry Host, Ms. Xu Xiaotao, on her first day at work, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an office lady uniform punched in full of energy, then sat down, her large peaches prominent.
After the morning training session filled with pie-in-the-sky promises, she had beautiful aspirations for the future, forming a sharp contrast with her yawning colleagues.
"Starting from putting on this uniform today, I've become a cog in society.
From now on, besides my figure, other aspects won't be treated like a child's either!" Xiaotao thought happily to herself, then turned on her computer, ready to handle the mission orders for the afternoon.
However, when she logged into the Administrator Backend, an ID named "Dusk Crow" in the list she was responsible for instantly caught her attention.
She glanced at it first, then froze, and finally widened her eyes to scrutinize it carefully, her expression turning to one of horror:
"Th-this… is the system bugging out?"
