This was because the subtitles beside the Giant Ugly Fish had changed.

Giant Ugly Fish (Young)

Aptitude: B

Potential: 79

Skills: Jump, Cloud, Wave of Thoughts

The Fantastic Beasts born from eggs were all at the young level at the beginning. After breaking through to the beginner level, Chen Qiyue could choose to become a beginner Beast Trainer or a beginner Beast Feeder.

Of course, only after passing the test would one be considered to be truly at the level. However, it was not that easy to pass the test.

This was especially true for beginner-level beast feeders. As long as they passed the test, they could have six Fantastic Beasts and the qualifications to raise twenty Fantastic Beasts. The difficulty would be even higher.

Compared to Beast Trainers, beast feeders’ tests were dozens or hundreds of times more difficult.

Wait, he knew about aptitude and potential, but what was with that skill?

Chen Qiyue stared at the subtitles with a deep gaze.

He didn’t know much about skills, but after studying the various knowledge of the Giant Ugly Fish, he knew that ordinary Giant Ugly Fish were water/air amphibians.

However, the newborn Giant Ugly Fish only had basic skills, which were Jump and Cloud.

Jump was a skill in the water. The Giant Ugly Fish could jump and hit the enemy.

Cloud, on the other hand, was the application of water transformation. It could turn water into gas and surround itself, lifting itself up and achieving the result of floating in the air.

Of course, it could also be used on the enemy to block the enemy’s vision or hide itself.

As for new skills, they needed to rely on their own aptitude to comprehend or learn them.

But now, his Giant Ugly Fish had a new skill, Wave of Thoughts.

So this was the benefit of a B-rank Fantastic Beast?

Then what about A- and S-rank Fantastic Beasts?

Chen Qiyue was in a daze for a moment, then shook his head. He didn’t want to be a Beast Trainer anyway. This had nothing to do with him.

However, he felt that it was necessary to understand his baby’s new skills.

After all, in the basic knowledge of Fantastic Beasts, there was one thing that he remembered vividly.

The proficiency of the Fantastic Beast’s skills was extremely beneficial to its growth.

This Wave of Thoughts was obviously the baby’s special skill. If he studied it thoroughly, it might bring huge benefits to the baby.

Chen Qiyue remembered this skill and continued to gently pat the Giant Ugly Fish’s head.

The Giant Ugly Fish squinted her eyes comfortably, but she remembered what Chen Qiyue had just said.

She didn’t really care about where she lived. What she cared about was that Chen Qiyue said that he didn’t have much pocket money.

Chen Qiyue touched the Giant Ugly Fish for a while and felt that his hand was cold. The scales were smooth and soft, and it felt especially good to the touch.

He couldn’t help but touch it like a cat. Then, he stood up and moved the small bathtub out of the toilet and to the bed.

The small bathtub was pink. It was a girl’s favorite color.

The Giant Ugly Fish clearly liked it. With a flick of her tail, she jumped out of the small bucket and fell into the small bathtub that was half filled with water.

Water splashed all over Chen Qiyue’s body.

“Chou…” The Giant Ugly Fish turned around and saw the wet Chen Qiyue. She immediately cried like a child who had done something wrong, as if she was apologizing.

Chen Qiyue wiped the water off his face and smiled. “It’s fine. I need to take a shower. I’ll go take a shower.”

What did a newborn baby know? He could understand when she saw the little bathtub and became overly excited.

Chen Qiyue picked up the small bucket in a good mood and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash it.

“Chou!” The Giant Ugly Fish swam to the side of the small bathtub and shouted at Chen Qiyue again.

‘Well? You said you wanted the water from this little bucket to be poured in your little bath?’

“Chou~”

“Alright, alright. I’ll pour the rest in for you. I’ll buy a few… I’ll add a portion of nutrient solution for you.”

Chen Qiyue originally wanted to say a few portions, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he changed them to one.

Previously, his mother had given him 20,000 yuan for living expenses. He still had some savings, about 10,000 yuan.

It was a total of 30,000 yuan. When he bought the baby egg of the Giant Ugly Fish, as it was an E-rank random Fantastic Beast egg, the original price was 10,000 yuan. He used a 90% discount to buy it for 1,000 yuan.

After that, he spent 10,000 yuan on three sets of nutrient solutions. After that, he spent 15,000 yuan on his cultivation plan. He spent a total of 26,000 yuan, leaving him with only 4,000 yuan.

It was only enough to buy a portion of nutrient solution.

Although he really wanted to fill this small bathtub with nutrient solution, his wallet wouldn’t let him.

Hiss, it was time to consider making money.

Chen Qiyue poured the rest of the nutrient solution in the bucket into the water while thinking about how to make money.

After thinking about it, the most reliable way was to ask his mother for it.

After all, if he wanted to obtain so much money in a short period of time, he had to sell himself.

No matter how hard and tiring it was, he couldn’t let his baby suffer. It wasn’t like his family didn’t have money. It was absolutely impossible for him to sell himself.

Looking at the Giant Ugly Fish swimming happily in the small bathtub, Chen Qiyue sighed and took out his phone to call his mother.

“Hey, is the rich lady having a beauty treatment?”

A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone. “Yo, you’re so sweet. Do you need Mom’s help again? Why? Have you run out of money?”

...

Chen Qiyue coughed lightly. Every time he called his mother, he felt inexplicably shy.

“Alright, I have guessed it. You have a Fantastic Beast, so you definitely need to prepare a lot of things. I gave you 20,000 yuan previously, but your father said that this money is not enough.”

His mother was very considerate. She had said everything he wanted to say.

“I’ll transfer 100,000 yuan to you later, but this way, the family’s liquidity will be gone.”

“Because your father has also decided to raise a Moo Moo Cow. We just spent money to buy a Moo Moo Cow’s egg. It’s a D-rank egg. It’s not bad.”

“By the way, I haven’t asked you. What level of egg did you choose?”

When Chen Qiyue heard this, he understood that his family’s savings were almost used up. The remaining money had to be used to hatch Mu Mu’s eggs.

A D-rank egg cost about 400,000 to 800,000 yuan. Because the milk produced by the Moo Moo Cow had many uses, and it was beneficial to the Fantastic Beasts, the price was relatively high, about 700,000 yuan.

If they heard that he had obtained a B-rank Fantastic Beast egg, his parents might sell everything to support him.

Chen Qiyue sighed. He still had to earn his own money. How could he keep thinking about asking for his parents’ money?

“My egg is just an ordinary egg. It’s the same like everyone’s. I don’t need so much. Another 20,000 will do. You still have to hatch the Moo Moo Cow.”

...

“In the early stages, you still have to buy a galactagogue to feed the Moo Moo Cow. It can only produce milk in the later stages, so you guys need more money.”

“Oh, well, since you said 20,000 was enough, I’ll give you 20,000. Which university did you choose?”

“Qingda University, Feeding Department.”

“Feeding Department? Well, with your learning ability, the Feeding Department is quite good. Haha, Qingda University is great. It’s the number one university. My son is really promising!”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qiyue sighed. 20,000 yuan could still do for a while. When the time came, he would think about how to earn money.

However, what he didn’t know was that the Giant Ugly Fish stopped swimming when he picked up the phone. Her dead fish eyes were fixed on him.

Especially when she heard that he wanted money, tears welled up in her eyes.
