Chapter 029: Mini Giant Space Hamster

The pet market is not far from the vegetable market and the food street, and Chen Zhou found a relatively reliable pet shop after a while.

Strictly speaking, the name of this shop is "Fujin's Alchemy Supply Shop".

Although it is not clear why there is an alchemy shop in the pet market, the manager of this shop is undoubtedly an acquaintance of his.

"Tom, didn't you read at the guild today?"

Seeing familiar faces coming to the store, Fukin, a secret dwarf illusionist from a scout team in the same place as Tataru, was inevitably a little surprised.

This studious warlock couldn't help but read books in the guild every day until evening, how could he suddenly find himself today?

"I need a pet."

As he spoke, Chen Zhou observed the other party's shop.

At first glance, it looks similar to the alchemy shop of a stone hunting gnome, but it is filled with all kinds of small animals - in the form of labor.

"Is this a hamster roller?" At a glance, he saw a large group of hamsters on the counter kicking wheels, powering the strange machine.

Is this really efficient?

"Well, don't look at me like that, I didn't abuse them." Seeing that the other party's eyes were a little strange, Fujin hurriedly explained, "A too comfortable environment is not conducive to their health and growth, this is to keep them to a minimum of exercise." ”

Giving the machine some power is also only incidental.

And for alchemists, the by-products of many animals are also key materials for the manufacture of alchemical items.

Chen Zhou was amazed and decided not to comment.

"I see, do you have any recommendations for the Demon Pet?"

While alchemists don't usually associate with animals in arcane arts, Fujin is an illusionist who has mastered the art of alchemy.

His suggestion is therefore well worth considering.

"Choosing a magic pet is a university question."

At the mention of animals, Forkine suddenly became much more serious.

According to him, the pet has a strong bond with the caster, and once the contract is concluded, it is inseparable from each other, so it is important to choose carefully.

Like what some mages choose, what to choose little devils, magic bats and other magic pets are unreliable, and magic pets have to be small animals (personal opinion)!

Chen Zhou really planned to pick a small magic pet that could bring a good mood.

In this way, the choice is very specific, and the dwarf explains: "Magic pets are divided into functional and preference. ”

After the Arcane Nexus, the Pets will also share their power with their masters:

Toads share life force, rats, weasels share tenacity and reflex speed, owls and falcons share hunter observation, cats share hunter agility, ravens share treasure sensitivity, and their intelligent intelligence can learn one of the spellcaster's languages.

"What about pandas?" Chen Zhou asked, he felt that as long as he could hold the panda for a while, he would definitely be able to get high enough to upgrade to 2 levels in a row.

Fujin was puzzled: "What is that?" How can anyone use a bear as a magic pet! ”

Basically, only druids would choose which large animal to be their companion with, that's another matter.

"But I don't think you care about the little bit of power brought by the demon pet, just pick the one you like, how about the cat?"

Fokine stereotyped that the Tiger Man might be compatible with the cat.

"Don't want cats, what's the use of cats, it's lazy and has a bad temper, and it will shed hair." It's a pity that Chen Zhou is definitely not a cat party...... He's a dog party.

But dogs are really not the best choice for magic pets.

"What about a falcon or a raven, which can scout in the air instead of your eyes, and many spellcasters who go out on adventures tend to choose a flying pet."

This time, Chen Zhou thought seriously for a while, but finally refused.

Birds are a good choice, but they are too fragile and can be easily targeted when flying in the sky.

Fujin thought about it again and brought the other party to his counter.

"What about this? Eat less, have a good physique, run fast and be sensible. ”

Crowned by the dwarf, it is a miniature rodent whose whole body is milky white except for the abdomen and the inside of the limbs, and the rest of the body is all brown -

"Hamster?"

Chen Zhou had some ideas, but not much.

"It's not a hamster, it's a miniature giant space hamster!" Fujin corrected earnestly.

Space hamsters are very different animals from their cousins, except that they are similar to ordinary hamsters in terms of appearance and habits.

The real space hamster is actually a super cute rodent herbivore that is as huge as a brown bear.

The dwarf spellcasters who inhabit the astral plane have cultivated this species and tried to make them the power of magic ships, but this project has not been fully successful to date.

As for this hamster, it was created by the dwarf mages who magically reduced the giant space hamsters to mini size, so their creators called them "mini giant space hamsters".

In addition to shrinking them, this magic also makes space hamsters smarter and even capable of telepathy.

Telepathy?

Although I've read about similar creatures in the book Boob's Astral Monsters Exhibit before, and I'm fascinated by the adventures depicted in the book about the legendary hamster and the mount Minsk, the book doesn't mention that the creature is also telepathic.

While wondering if this was a "dwarf joke", Chen Zhou stood in front of the hamster roller and carefully observed the mini giant space hamster.

If you really want to buy it, you don't have to worry about it for three days or two days to worry about whether it will get sick or be in a bad mood.

Maybe...... It's not bad to buy a hamster as a magic pet?

Whether it's a so-called miniature giant space hamster or not, it's at least cute.

Presumably noticing that someone was staying near him, the hamster, keen on rollers, gradually stopped, looking up at the creature looking down at him.

"Big thing, will ...... Can you speak? ”

The hamster's voice came to Chen Zhou's mind.

Chen Zhou: "??? ”

It's really telepathic!?

He quickly turned his head to look at the gnome, who was doing nothing, and didn't seem to be casting a spell or coming out of any magic aura.

After obtaining Fujin's consent, Chen Zhou put the hamster in his hand with the roller.

After a while, the appendix of the "Life Plan" determined that it was a possession, and showed the hamster's information:

Mini Giant Space Hamster (3 months, male, neutral and kind)

Strength 1, Agility 20, Constitution 10;

Intelligence 6, Perception 12, Charisma 6;

Abilities: Telepathy 5ft, Sneak Attack 1d6

Description:

This gentle rodent is a creature native to the Wastelands, but there are countless members who have found their way to other worlds on the physical plane, where they are simply referred to as hamsters. They are also careful not to let most nearby creatures notice that they are capable of telepathy.

Raised by the Whispering Gnome, it has become more introverted and has learned some special tricks, such as identifying the weaknesses of creatures such as kobolds, goblins, and giants.

"How much is this hamster, I've decided to use it as a magic pet."
