Chapter 7 The Intricate Bond of Love and Hate between Beast Tamers and Capitalists

  The higher the grade of a battle beast, the more formidable its power, and the greater the amount of magic energy it occupies within the space. Thus, the size of the battle - pet space directly dictates the upper echelon of a Beast Tamer's strength.

  Although the dimensions of the battle - pet space can be augmented through cultivation, the magnitude of the initial space serves as an indicator of the Beast Tamer's innate talent.

  In Ron's perspective, Aiden was not merely a prodigy; he was an extraordinary being.

  A B - rank battle beast typically requires 10 - 15 units of magic energy. Beast Tamers possessing only 10 units of magic energy in their battle - pet space can, at best, accommodate a single B - rank battle pet.

  Yet, this black - haired youth before him could potentially house two to three B - rank battle pets.

  That astonishing 30 - unit initial battle - pet space was truly a marvel!

  The disparity was palpable.

  Aiden stood serenely at the center of the magic array, his gaze fixed upon the back of his right hand.

  A fish mark materialized on the back of his hand, shimmering with a soft, iridescent glow.

  This was his unique battle - pet space insignia.

  For the average Beast Tamer, the location and form of the space insignia are arbitrary.

  Should fortune not smile upon them, it might manifest as an"X" on the buttocks or a"√" in the armpit.

  Merely envisioning such a scenario is rather amusing.

  This is primarily attributed to a lack of proficiency in controlling the original spirit.

  Aiden, however, had no such constraints. As such, he had complete autonomy over the location and shape of the insignia.

  With a mere thought, the fish mark vanished instantaneously, leaving the back of his hand as smooth as before.

  "May I offer you a hand?"

  At the sight of the outstretched hand before him, Ron, who had been slumped on the ground, jolted upright. He swiftly rose to his feet with alacrity.

  He assumed a slightly hunched posture, and his demeanor became rather constrained.

  His attitude had undergone a profound transformation.

  Becoming a Beast Tamer was tantamount to obtaining a springboard to prosperity.

  Moreover, this young man boasted an extraordinary talent.

  "Sir, I humbly request that you retrieve this money."

  Ron gingerly produced ten - thousand star coins, yet Aiden waved his hand dismissively and remarked,"Once a gift is given, it is not to be reclaimed. I am truly indebted to you for the convenience you extended to me today."

  "Not at all, it is my profound honor."

  Having witnessed the record - shattering miracle firsthand, Ron's words were far from mere politeness.

  Subsequently, the task of recording and filing was entrusted to Ron, while Aiden, having completed the Spiritual Awakening Ceremony, naturally elected to depart.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

  As he stepped out of the Original Spirit Association, night had already fallen. Aiden decided to seek accommodation at a hotel.

  However, scarcely had he taken a few steps when a woman, briefcase in hand and attired in casual formal wear, obstructed his path.

  Some men and women lurking in the shadows, who had also intended to approach, restrained themselves upon seeing someone take the initiative.

  Nonetheless, their eyes remained fixed intently on the scene.

  "Congratulations on your successful completion of the Spiritual Awakening Ceremony. May I inquire which profession you have chosen to pursue?"

  "Regrettably, I failed," Aiden lied without a hint of hesitation.

  The woman, who had approached with a beaming smile, instantly betrayed her disappointment upon hearing Aiden's response.

  Her change of expression was swifter than turning a page.

  "Excuse me."

  After uttering these words nonchalantly, the woman cast a disdainful glance at the black - haired youth, waved her hand, and promptly departed without a second thought.

  She arrived abruptly and left with equal haste.

  The others, who had been on the verge of approaching, now settled down. Some resumed sipping their tea, while others engaged in conversation. No one else attempted to strike up a conversation with Aiden.

  The gesture the woman made upon leaving was a covert signal within their industry. Receiving this signal, they refrained from wasting their time on this seemingly unpromising black - haired youth.

  Aiden couldn't help but find the situation somewhat comical.

  These headhunters were staking out here even on the weekend, demonstrating remarkable enthusiasm.

  Indeed, those loitering around the entrance of the Original Spirit Association were consultants from headhunting firms.

  Their objective was, of course, those who had successfully changed their professions. Among them, Beast Tamers were always the prime target of headhunting consultants.

  Some high - end headhunting firms even exclusively engaged with Beast Tamers, disregarding Mages and Martial Masters.

  Beast Tamers represent the profession with the highest investment potential, yet it is also the most financially demanding.

  What is the first step upon becoming a Beast Tamer?

  Undoubtedly, it is to capture a battle beast and conclude a contract. Without a battle beast, one can scarcely be called a Beast Tamer.

  Now, a crucial question arises: how can an unarmed Beast Tamer subdue and acquire those powerful battle beasts in the initial stages?

  One must hire assistance, lease aircraft and artillery, and provide for food, accommodation, and armaments, correct?

  Following a successful capture and contract signing, training is essential, is it not?

  Some battle beasts require sustenance, do they not?

  All these entail substantial financial outlays.

  If one does not hail from a wealthy lineage, where does one procure such funds?

  What if there is a lack of funds?

  "I'll provide them!"

  Capital grinned broadly.

  I will invest capital and labor to assist you in capturing battle beasts. Once you have captured and nurtured them, you can then reciprocate, achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.

  We can foster a symbiotic relationship, thrive together, and gain valuable experience. Is this not an appealing prospect?

  Naturally, the terms of this cooperation contract are subject to negotiation between the two parties.

  During this process, it is inevitable that various irregularities, such as inequality and deception, may occur.

  Once a Beast Tamer has obtained a battle pet, acquiring subsequent ones becomes relatively more straightforward. As time progresses, the Beast Tamer's reliance on capital diminishes, and their independence grows.

  Consequently, newly - minted Beast Tamers are highly sought - after in the initial investment rounds, the most favored targets for various factions.

  In other words, even an ordinary civilian, upon becoming a Beast Tamer, need merely express their need, and there will be those eager to offer financial support.

  However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The manner in which mutual benefit is achieved depends on one's negotiation with the investors.

  Headhunting firms, therefore, serve as the intermediaries between Beast Tamers and investors.

  This is precisely why so many headhunters are stationed at the entrance of the Original Spirit Association.

  After all, in the pursuit of profit, one must be diligent.

  Aiden, for his part, had no desire to be ensnared by capital. Otherwise, he would have remained within the family. Why would he have ventured out?

  Having been a capitalist in his past life, he was all too familiar with the true nature of capital. He had no intention of becoming embroiled with these headhunters.

  He boarded a vehicle and proceeded to the hotel to check in.

  Aiden sat cross - legged on the bed, and a surge of blue original - spirit power ascended once more.

  His battle - pet space had reached an astonishing 45 units of magic energy.

  He had, in fact, held back during his time at the Original Spirit Association.

  Otherwise, Aiden feared that he might have overwhelmed Ron with shock.

  Well, the next step was to commence preparations for the capture of battle beasts.
