NOVEL WEB Chapter 1: 1
The fourth pioneer star, Mandragora.
…
"Hey! Alex Carter!"
The girl at the counter showed an impatient expression and said angrily, "If you don't let my cat go, I guarantee you will lose another customer!"
The girl had a ponytail and no eyebrows, but she wore some light-colored lipstick. She looked pure and innocent and was one of the fewer and fewer "regular customers" in the store.
Shortly after Alex Carter graduated from secondary college, he took over this old pet shop that his grandmother had run when she was alive.
The pet shop in Mandragora mainly deals in combat pets, supplemented by pet breeding and fostering. It is rare to find an old shop like this that does not sell pets.
Plus, the old store's location is not ideal—it's not that it's too remote, but there are at least three newly opened high-end pet stores on the same street not far from the college!
Survival of the fittest, business will naturally get worse and worse.
But Alex did not take over this store with the intention of reviving the old shop.
His main purpose in taking over this store was simply to have more opportunities to interact with a variety of pets.
He felt fortunate to be reborn into such a world, but unfortunately, he failed to get into the Battle Pet Academy before his memory awakened, so he could only save the country in a roundabout way.
As a pet shop owner, can't you also play with cats to your heart's content?
Alex picked up "Mimi" in his arms and reluctantly returned it to its original owner.
Mimi is a "Queen Cat" who looks very much like a Ragdoll Cat. She is a psychic combat pet. When she releases her superpowers, a crown that materializes her mental power will form on her head.
For the same kind of combat pet, the female one is called the "Queen Cat" and the male one is called the "Emperor Cat."
"Meow~"
Mimi squeezed into the girl's arms, somewhat dissatisfied.
The owner's embrace is nice, but the space is so small? Isn't having one cozy spot enough?
As expected, Alex's arms are more comfortable!
Alex felt warm at heart as he looked at the Queen Cat's reaction.
Some time ago, the girl had to go out for something, and because she couldn't bear to lock Mimi in the battle pet space, she left Mimi in this pet shop.
After so many days of foster care, he had developed some feelings for the pet.
Unfortunately, it still belongs to someone else after all.
Alex sighed inwardly.
This is the bad thing about pet shops. Pets come and go, but in the end, they are just passers-by.
"Alex, don't be like this, I'm not really not coming back!"
"Um?"
Alex was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that it was his exposed sadness that caused a misunderstanding with the girl in front of him.
He then forced a smile and said gently, "I know."
The girl put her five fingers together and scratched like cat claws: "Hey, see you tomorrow!"
…
After watching Mimi leave, Alex turned on his computer and browsed the Battle Pet Network.
Due to information control, only information about local battle pets could be found on the pioneer star, but even the power of these local battle pets was enough to amaze him.
It is said that the truly powerful war pets in the Federation can roam the stars and fight against warships with their physical bodies. They are the key to mankind's expansion of territory!
Alex also wanted to become a battle pet master, but unfortunately, he failed to awaken his psychic talent and could not sign a battle pet contract with his battle pet.
"I heard that there are examples of people awakening psychic talents, but they are very rare and require corresponding secret manuals."
As he watched, Alex couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and just then his cell phone rang.
He opened it and saw a video notification from his sister.
His younger sister, Emily Carter, had a name that was really hard to complain about.
Comparing the names of the brother and sister is like the difference between tuna and yellow croaker. You can tell the favoritism of their parents at a glance.
But in fact, Emily is the "other people's child."
His sister is one year younger than him. She is currently in the third year of study at the Intermediate Combat Pet Academy and will soon be promoted from junior high school to high school. Once she is admitted to the Advanced Combat Pet Academy, she will surely become a professional combat pet trainer in the future!
His sister was very attached to him when she was little, but not long after she was admitted to the Battle Pet Academy, probably because she knew the difference between having psychic talent and not having psychic talent, she would dislike him from time to time.
But the relationship between the brother and sister...how can I put it?
Alex thinks he's doing okay!
After connecting the video, Alex saw that his sister was frowning and looked unhappy, so he kindly asked, "Emily, are you feeling unwell again? Isn't there still two days left? Emmm, is it early?"
"Alex!" Emily roared, "Can you stop being so disgusting!"
Alex curled his lips: "Aren't I just concerned about you?"
"I don't need your concern!" Emily snorted, "Today is your birthday. I asked for a meditation book that has a chance to trigger psychic awakening, but I can't get it today. I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
Alex frowned: "Awakening secret book? Can you pray for something like that? Tomorrow is the weekend, and you're still a student, don't go to places you shouldn't go!"
Emily curled her lips, with the same expression as Alex: "What do you care! After getting the awakening secret book, if you still can't awaken your spiritual power, I will punish you!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
"Tsk!"
Alex stared at his phone, thinking that he must ask clearly when he got home tonight.
[Bite!]
Suddenly, a single word representing sound effect floated before his eyes.
"???"

…
"Birthday benefit, coming-of-age gift?"
Alex was stunned.
He traveled through time and space and was reborn, and even his memories of his past life were only restored not long ago. He originally thought that he would never have the golden finger that most time travelers must have.
But I didn't expect to receive such a surprise on my 18th birthday!
Glancing at the time.
September 15, 15:15…
It seems that this is the time of his birth?
This thing is accurate to the second!
…
Alex has read many novels and has a general understanding of systems. A system without self is basically equivalent to a plug-in ability.
A time traveler basically depends on it to reach the peak of his life and marry a beautiful, rich, and beautiful woman.
Alex didn't think about marrying a white, rich, and beautiful woman. He was still young, just turned 18.
But since Fuyuan was forced upon me, I had no choice but to accept it.
Alex looked resentful on the surface, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"Dimensional pets, daily tasks, big turntable..."
In addition to the data displayed on the initial panel, you can see a more detailed description by clicking on each item.
This super-dimensional pet shop system can actually connect to other dimensions and obtain pets from other dimensions!
The so-called other dimension refers to all the known and unknown worlds.
It can be the earth, or it can be the world of film, television, or animation works.
The reason why Alex likes pets so much is that he was influenced by works such as "Pokemon" and "Digimon."
Now that he has the chance to get these pets, how can he not be surprised?
If I could be lucky enough to capture Mewtwo or Celebi...
This surprise was so great that Alex couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, until the system reminded him:
[Host please collect the store opening gift in time! ]
"And a gift for the opening of the store?"
[Host please collect the store opening gift in time! ]
"Okay, okay, I'll take it right away."
Alex quickly clicked on the upper right corner of the panel and received the gift for opening the store.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a chance to extract a psychic talent! ]
"Psychic talent?"
"And it's extraction, not awakening?"
Alex has read many system-themed novels and is very familiar with these words.
The chance of awakening means there is a chance of failure.
The extraction of opportunities is based on the established fact that success is certain, thereby extracting a psychic talent!
"Extract!"
Confirm the extraction of psionic talent.
"Boom!"
The roar was like thunder.
Alex subconsciously looked towards the street and found that no one was paying attention, so he made sure that only he could hear and see the system's sounds and images.
He turned back again, and a huge turntable suddenly appeared!
There are eight grids of different colors on the turntable, and each grid represents a psychic talent.
Pull down the joystick and the pointer of the turntable will start to rotate. The grid it finally points to is the reward!
"Most people awaken psychic talents that are ordinary attribute talents, and then they will choose a battle pet of the same type to cultivate according to their own attribute talents. But there are also people who can awaken special and powerful psychic talents. Such people are born at a higher starting point."
If he could choose, Alex would naturally want a special psychic talent.
"I even have a system like this, so my luck can't be too bad!"
Alex took a deep breath and pulled the joystick down hard!
"Da da da da…"
The pointer began to move, faster and faster.
After 30 seconds, it suddenly stopped!
"Duang!"
[Congratulations on obtaining the special psychic talent: Cultivation Master! ]
Newbie looking for support…
