Beast Mastery

Xia Xin thought for a moment and looked at Layle, who was waiting obediently by her feet. She took the initiative to ask the system, “I want to ask, is there a way to let Layle’s tongue grow back?”

Xia Xin thought the system’s functions were so amazing, perhaps it could help Layle.

After asking, Xia Xin eagerly waited for a response. Two seconds later, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded, “Not at the moment.”

Xia Xin caught the key point and asked, “Not at the moment? When will it be possible?”

“After I’m upgraded,” the mechanical voice replied.

Xia Xin was taken aback, “When will you upgrade?”

“When your Beast Mastery reaches…” The Beast Language System seemed to be evaluating, pausing for a moment, “Level 3.”

Through the conversation, Xia Xin obtained two important pieces of information. First, the system could be upgraded, and second, the system upgrade was linked to her Beast Mastery.

Xia Xin had not paid much attention to the Beast Mastery before. In her opinion, as a human who could understand animal language, that was already a strong ability, and there was no need to learn Beast Mastery.

But now it seemed that learning Beast Mastery not only had literal benefits but also upgrading her Beast Mastery could lead to system upgrades, which might bring her more advantages in the future.

Although Xia Xin was already satisfied with the fact that she was reborn and did not expect to gain so many benefits from the Beast Language System, now she had to make efforts to help Layle become a normal dog.

Determined, Xia Xin asked again, “How can this Beast Mastery be upgraded? Does it require accumulating animal affinity? Are there any benchmarks?”

“The conditions for each level upgrade are different. To go from Level 1 to Level 2, you need to collect 500 affinities from 49 different animals.”

Xia Xin did not expect the requirements to be 49 different animals. Such a requirement might not be easy to achieve elsewhere, but since she was currently working at the zoo, with some effort, it should not be too difficult.

With a goal in mind, Xia Xin felt less confused. She politely thanked the Beast Language System and left the rental house with Layle.

After arriving home, Xia Xin was greeted by an excited embrace from Gu Fan. Gu Fan looked at Xia Xin with concern and said, “You seem to have lost weight. Is it hard working at the zoo? I heard that you’ve become a star zookeeper at the zoo. There’s a saying, ‘Men are afraid of being famous’. It’s better to keep a low profile.”

Xia Xin could not help but laugh and cry. She could not believe that her mother compared her to a pig.

Although Xia Xin did not have the desire to become a celebrity, her increased popularity did bring her some benefits. Netizens’ affinity towards her skyrocketed, and now she could afford many things in the Beast Language System’s Shop.

“Look at what you’re saying. This shows that our Xin is so outstanding, shining at the zoo, and gaining the admiration and praise of netizens. Isn’t that a good thing? How many people in their lifetime want to be famous but never get the chance? Our Xin is now so prominent, which will give her an advantage in choosing a boyfriend in the future…” Xia Song retorted to Gu Fan’s words.

Hearing Xia Song going off on a tangent, Xia Xin quickly changed the topic. “Dad, are we going to Grandma’s house for lunch?”

“Yes, we’ll go over for lunch and stay overnight at their place,” said Xia Song.

“What about Layle?” Gu Fan asked as she patted Layle’s head. She had already heard that Layle had its tongue cut by a bad person. She felt sympathy for Layle and, in addition, as Layle was like their precious daughter’s dog, she had already considered Layle a member of the family.

“We can leave Layle in the garage at Xia Bai’s house, just don’t let Mother see it,” said Xia Song.

After discussing these matters, Xia Xin and her family went to the mall to buy some supplements for Old Mrs. Xia. They took the subway and then a taxi, arriving at Xia Bai’s house before noon.

When Old Mrs. Xia saw Xia Song, her eldest son, she was quite happy and chatted with him for a long time. Gu Fan also kept busy and went to the kitchen to help with cooking.

At noon, as the meal was almost ready, Xia Bai knocked on a door. After a few minutes, a teenager wearing pajamas with messy hair pushed the door open and walked out. That was Xia Bai’s son, Xia Jin, who had just started his first year of high school. He was not tall, but he weighed 75 kilograms.

It was almost 1 PM by now, and Xia Jin had just woken up. After leaving his room, he did not even greet Xia Song and Xia Xin, nor did he look at them. He lazily went to the bathroom to wash up.

Xia Song frowned and asked displeasedly, “Why did Jin just wake up?”
