章 10: Chapter 10: From Stray to Thunderclaw Wolf
Lu Fan had always believed in making the most of what was available. After the initial success of his pet shop's custom beast sourcing service, he knew he needed to build on that momentum. However, acquiring rare beasts like the Thunderclaw Wolf required a significant investment of time and resources—something Lu Fan couldn't afford to waste.
One morning, as Lu Fan was walking through the outskirts of the city, an idea struck him. The region was home to countless stray animals, many of which were neglected or abandoned. While most people ignored these creatures, Lu Fan saw potential. With his Identify ability, he could find hidden gems among them—strays that had the potential to evolve into powerful beasts.
Without wasting time, Lu Fan began to collect stray animals from the surrounding areas. Most of them were low-level, usually around Level 1, but that didn't deter him. He brought them back to his shop, where he carefully assessed each one, looking for signs of potential.
As he sifted through the strays, he decided to evaluate them using his Identify ability.

Lu Fan's eyes widened in excitement. Among the strays, the unassuming gray puppy had the potential to evolve into a powerful Thunderclaw Wolf—a solid and reliable battle beast. But what intrigued him more was the rarer path to evolve it into a Stormfang Direwolf, a beast of immense power and elemental strength. If he could train and evolve the puppy along either of these paths, it would not only fulfill his client's request but also solidify his shop's reputation.
Training and Evolution
Determined to see the puppy reach its full potential, Lu Fan dedicated the next few days to intense training. He focused on improving the puppy's speed and agility, preparing it for the evolution ahead. The training was tough, but the puppy showed remarkable resilience and a growing bond with Lu Fan.
With the puppy's progress on track, Lu Fan knew it was time to gather the necessary materials for its evolution. Instead of searching for them in the wilderness, he decided to visit the Federation Store. The store was known for its vast inventory of rare materials, though the prices could be steep.
At the store, Lu Fan quickly found what he needed: a Thunder Stone and Lightning Essence. The total cost came to 160 federation coins. It was a significant expense, but Lu Fan was confident that the investment would pay off.
Finally, with the materials in hand, Lu Fan returned to his shop and prepared for the evolution process. He brought the puppy to the training room and initiated the evolution. The Thunder Stone and Lightning Essence interacted with the puppy's energy, causing a powerful surge of lightning to envelop its small form. The puppy's body grew larger, its fur became sleek and electric, and its eyes shone with a fierce light.
When the process was complete, the puppy had transformed into a majestic Thunderclaw Wolf. Its presence was commanding, and its power was undeniable.
Lu Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he looked at the evolved beast. This Thunderclaw Wolf was a testament to his hard work and determination.
With the Thunderclaw Wolf ready, Lu Fan contacted the young tamer who had placed the order. When the tamer arrived at the shop and saw the Thunderclaw Wolf, he was visibly impressed.
"This is exactly what I was looking for," the tamer said, admiration in his voice. "You've exceeded my expectations."
After a brief discussion, Lu Fan sold the Thunderclaw Wolf for a substantial price of 1000 federation coins. It was the most money he had ever made from a single sale, and it marked a significant milestone for his shop.
As he counted the coins, Lu Fan couldn't help but reflect on his journey. It hadn't been long since he had purchased Buck, his first beast, for a mere 10 coins. Now, he was running a successful pet shop, sourcing and training powerful beasts for other tamers.
