Chapter 12: Garfish
Li Qian did not go home, but went straight to the artificial waterfall in the western suburbs. In the morning, he had put two loaves of bread in his schoolbag, which was enough to support his training tonight.

The distance from school to the artificial waterfall in the western suburbs is farther than from home. It took Li Qian about forty-five minutes to get there.

Just as he parked his bicycle next to the embankment, a bird about the size of a millstone chirped in the air, attracting his attention.

Except for its light golden beak and claws, the rest of the bird's feathers are gray.

It was the gray bean pigeon, and Li Qian was very familiar with this gray bean pigeon. It was the beast of his mother Han Yuying, named "Douzi".

"Douzi, here!" Li Qian shouted in the direction of the gray bean pigeon and waved his hand, then began to walk towards the pond.

The bean circled in the air, then fell rapidly and stood steadily on a large rock next to the pond.

Li Qian looked at Douzi and threw an Eye of True Vision over him.

【Name：Gray Bean Pigeon】

[Attribute: Wind]

[Level: Elite Level 3]

[Potential: Elite Level 5]

[Skills: Peck (Proficient), Claw (Proficient), Steel Feather (Proficient), Wind Blade (Proficient), Fierce Wind Slash (Beginner)]

Seeing this information, he nodded.

Although the family conditions are average, judging from Douzi's information, his mother has done a good job in raising him.

Li Qian remembered that the evolved form of Gray Bean Pigeon was Storm Eagle, and its racial potential was the ninth level of leadership.

Although the method and resources required for the evolution of the Gray Bean Pigeon into the Storm Eagle have been announced, the required resource "Xunfeng Stone" is worth more than 20. Even if their family can afford it, they are reluctant to buy it.

What's more, the materials needed for the evolution of Gray Bean Pigeon are not only "Xunfeng Stone", but other resources added together are worth more than 15.

In other words, if you want to evolve the Gray Bean Pigeon into a Storm Eagle, you will need to pay at least 35.

His parents would definitely not pay for this. They would rather put all the resources on Li Qian.

In their opinion, the end of their journey to become a beastmaster is in sight, and there is little point in continuing to devote themselves to it.

Li Qian doesn't think so. Whether it is his mother's gray bean pigeon or his father's enclosure bear, they must evolve when he is ready.

Whether parents have ambitions is one thing, but whether they have the ability to provide additional security for their own safety is another.

"Chirp..." Douzi stopped on the rock and called happily to Li Qian a few times.

As the little master of the family, Li Qian has had a good relationship with both the gray bean pigeon and the enclosure bear over a long period of time.

Li Qian waved and smiled back, then came to the edge of the pond. He called out to the pond, "Qizi, Ah Fu, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared on the water surface, and then two fish heads appeared. They were Qizi and Ah Fu.

Without saying a word, Li Qian threw down a few pieces of energy fish food and checked it with the Eye of True Vision.

【Name: Koi (Seven)】

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: Ordinary Level 5]

[Potential: Ordinary Level 7]

[Skills: Fish Leap (Perfect), Waterfall Climbing (Mastery)]

Li Qian was quite delighted to see Qizi's information. He did not expect that in such a short time, its waterfall climbing skill had been upgraded to a higher level.

After his joy, he couldn't help but frown.

Qizi was able to improve his waterfall climbing skills to the proficient level in such a short time. It must have practiced more after I left.

Originally, Li Qian wanted to give them a few more reminders, but considering that this place was relatively remote and the water was slanting down, even if Qizi and the others were practicing waterfall climbing skills, it might not be noticeable and they would be discovered, so he didn't say anything.

In short, it is a good thing that pets are motivated.

After taking a look at Qizi's message, Li Qian turned his attention to Ah Fu.

【Name: Koi (Afu)】

[Attribute: Water] [Level: Ordinary Level 3]

[Potential: Ordinary Level 7]

[Skills: Fish Leap (Perfect), Waterfall Climbing (Beginner)]

Qizi was a strong-willed person, so Li Qian was not surprised that he could improve his waterfall climbing skill to the proficient level. However, he was surprised that Ah Fu had also mastered this skill.

However, when he saw Ah Fu swimming over cautiously to eat and not daring to get too close to Qizi, Li Qian probably understood what was going on.

It seems that during the time he was away, Qizi not only practiced more on his own, but also took, or forced, Ah Fu to practice more together.

Otherwise, Ah Fu wouldn't be so afraid of it.

"Qizi, what's wrong? Why don't you eat?" Li Qian was a little confused when he saw that Qizi didn't eat the energy fish food immediately.

Just as Li Qian was puzzled, Qizi dived into the bottom of the pool again. After a moment, his head popped up, with another blue and black head next to him.

Li Qian stared intently, and then found that what was exposed above the water was actually a fish head.

After a brief observation, Li Qian recognized the identity of the fish.

Under the eyes of true vision, its information was also revealed.

【Name：Garfish】

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: Elite Level 1]

[Potential: Commander Level 2]

[Skills: Water Arrow (Perfect), Water Cannon (Perfect), High-Pressure Water Cannon (Proficient), Tide (Beginner)]

When he saw the "Tide" skill, Li Qian's eyes suddenly widened.

As the Eye of True Vision probed deeper, information about the skill "Tide" also appeared before his eyes.

[Skill: Tide]

[Skill Description: A special skill that can only be mastered by water-based pets under certain conditions. Pets with the Tide skill can quickly recover physical strength, energy, and injuries when placed in water. The higher the skill level, the faster the recovery speed.]

Passive recovery skills!
It turned out to be a passive recovery skill!
Li Qian knew very well that if a pet had a recovery skill, and a passive recovery skill at that, its sustained combat capability would be qualitatively improved.

After recovering from the shock, a solemn expression appeared on Li Qian's face.

Because he found that something was not right with the garfish.

A lot of its scales had fallen off, and there seemed to be a number on its dorsal fin. Its peacock-like tail was now charred black, as if it had been electrocuted.

"Hiss, you are still alive despite such serious injuries. I guess it's inseparable from this Tidal Skill."

Li Qian looked at Qizi, who was circling around the garfish, looking very anxious.

Seeing this, Li Qian instantly understood what was going on, "Qizi, you want me to save it!"

Qizai: “Gululu…”

Although Qizi couldn't speak, his meaning was very clear. Li Qian didn't hesitate and turned to look at the magpie. "If you believe me, get into this beast-controlling ball and I'll take you to the pet hospital."

After saying that, Li Qian took out a beast-taming ball, pressed a button, and a beam of light shot out.

The garfish did not resist and was successfully taken into the beast-controlling ball.

"Qizi, Ah Fu, you guys continue training. I'll take the magpie to the veterinary hospital for treatment." After giving the instructions, he looked at the gray bean pigeon, "Bean, let's go!"

The bean chirped and soared into the sky.

Li Qian ran quickly towards the bicycle.

Uncontracted pets cannot appear in the city, but Douzi is a contracted pet and has been registered at the Beast Taming Center.

Therefore, it can fly over the city.
