……
In the games Wang Chen played or the anime he watched in his previous life, slimes were genderless.
But in this world of professions, slimes not only have genders but also reproduce through mating between males and females.
As observed...
The female slime's icy blue, transparent body has three beautiful patterns.
Male slimes, on the other hand, have only two.
Of course.
For Wang Chen, the gender doesn’t matter.
What matters to him is that the ‘Bloodline Appraisal’ reacted to this jelly-like blue slime!
Without any hesitation, he locked onto the slime with his Bloodline Appraisal.
The slime blinked its gem-like black eyes and stared blankly at Wang Chen.
[Ding!]
[Bloodline Appraisal Complete!]
[Beast Pet: Blue Slime.]
[Detected hidden bloodline of the divine beast 'Devourer Lord' in this beast pet's body!]
[Final Appraisal Result: Cosmic-level Divine Beast!]
Indeed!
This blue slime has the bloodline of a cosmic-level divine beast!
And it’s the legendary 'Devourer Lord'!
A terrifying existence on the same level as the World-Destroying Azure Dragon!
People speculate that the Devourer Lord is a void creature.
The main reason is that it has no fixed shape, appearing as a massively twisted void black hole that seems to devour everything.
Some even speculate that it’s made of unknown material and isn’t a creature at all.
Now...
Wang Chen has the answer.
The legendary Devourer Lord should actually be classified as a 'Slime Species'!
“Gurgle gurgle...”

At this moment.
Maybe it was because they had been staring at each other for too long, the blue slime made a sound and wiggled its jelly-like body, swaying in front of Wang Chen.
Without any hesitation, Wang Chen turned to the shop assistant and said, "I’ll take this slime!"
“Sure, it’s 20 credits in total. Thank you for your patronage.”
……
……
Carrying the pet box back to his dorm area.
He happened to meet Meng Yongsheng, Shen Miao, Cao Wenbin, and several other provincial top students chatting and laughing.
Wang Chen’s place was a standalone villa on the mountain top.
Meng Yongsheng and the others lived halfway up the mountain.
The road up the mountain passed by their place.
Seeing Wang Chen, Meng Yongsheng and the others greeted him proactively.
Wang Chen nodded in response, slightly cold but polite.
This made Wang Chen internally want to complain.
See...
Most elite families’ children are well-educated and have good personal qualities.
Even though they lost to Wang Chen, they have already accepted it and are polite.
Unlike in the novels Wang Chen read in his previous life.
Every elite family’s child was arrogant, overbearing, and scum.
Or foolish enough to provoke the protagonist despite knowing better.
Wang Chen just wants to say...
Are elite families’ children really that bad?
They just have money and power, not stupidity!
If you were the head of an elite family, would you want to see your children being that foolish?
They study in prestigious schools from a young age and have top private tutors.
Their qualities and upbringing are decent.
How else could they be trusted with the vast family business?
“Wang Chen, it’s meal time, join us for dinner?”
Cao Wenbin asked.
“No, I have something to do, maybe next time.”
Wang Chen shook his head.
This wasn't an excuse, he really had something to do.
He just got a new, warm slime that he needed to contract.
“Alright, what's in the box?” Cao Wenbin asked again.
“Slime.” Wang Chen raised it, no need to hide.
“Wow, such a cute little guy!” Shen Miao's beautiful eyes sparkled at the blue slime, “I feel like buying one to keep.”
“Slimes are indeed great life beast pets, gentle in nature, clean-loving, and squishy.” Huang Fan, who had joined the Beast Academy, said.
“No...”
But at this moment, Wang Chen shook his head lightly, looking at his five top classmates, and said, “This isn’t a life beast pet, it’s my second combat beast pet.”
Everyone: “!?”
The five top students were shocked, eyes wide open.
“Huh?”
“Combat beast pet?”
Meng Yongsheng and the others wondered if they had misheard!
Wang Chen, this guy, wants to contract a blue slime as his second combat beast pet!
Are you sure this isn't a joke?
Look at this slime's pathetic stats, Strength 2, Constitution 2, Wisdom 7, Agility 7.
Are you sure it can fight?
To their doubts and shock.
Wang Chen didn’t bother explaining, turned, and left, leaving them dumbfounded.
……
Returning to his standalone villa.
Wang Chen then opened the transparent pet box, taking out the blue slime.
Hmm...
It feels great.
Squishy, like jelly.
About the size of a basketball.
Since he hadn't contracted it yet, he couldn't see its current skills and talents.
Additionally...
Its personality is indeed very gentle.
Being held by Wang Chen, it didn't struggle, just stared at him with its gem-like black eyes.
After observing it.
Wang Chen cast a 'Beast Taming Spell' on the little guy.
Previously, Little Azure Python, as a wild beast, resisted Wang Chen’s contract slightly.
But as a life pet, the slime didn’t resist at all, allowing the intricate magic circle to merge into its body.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, you successfully contracted your second beast pet: Blue Slime!]
Simultaneously, its [Talent] and [Skills] information was clearly presented.
