"A simplified contract?"

Yun Che looked bewildered.

Dr. Niu wasn't surprised by this and said with a smile:

"That's normal. Even if you learn it in your second year of university, they won't teach you how to use it because there are certain risks involved."

"Risks?"

"This is a relatively ancient type of contract."

With Dr. Niu's explanation, Yun Che gradually understood.

As is well known, there are generally two types of contracts between beast tamers and extraordinary creatures: equal contracts and master-servant contracts.

The contract signed between Yun Che and Kong Kong is an example of an equal contract.

Both parties to the contract are equal in status, mutually beneficial, and support each other's growth.

The master-servant contract is divided into master and servant. The party who dominates the contract is in an absolutely superior position and has a strong control over the servant. A powerful master can even decide the life or death of the servant with a single thought.

However, this does not mean that there are only these two types of contracts; it's just that these two types of contracts are more widely known.

Simple contracts are one of the earliest contract methods "discovered" by human beast tamers.

Its function is to allow one to enter into a short-term, time-limited contract with a supernatural being, which can be regarded as a temporary contract.

At first glance.

This simple contract seems convenient and easy to use.

However, simplified contracts actually have many limitations.

Firstly, beast tamers can only contract extraordinary creatures that are at least one level lower than the carrying capacity of their beast taming space; otherwise, the beast taming space risks being damaged or even destroyed.

What does it mean to have a capacity that is one level lower than that of the Beast Taming Space?

For example, Yun Che's Beast Taming Space is currently at level 2.

Then he would have to sign a simple contract with the extraordinary creature according to the conditions of Level 1 Beast Taming Space.

In other words, the racial level cannot exceed the advanced transcendent level, and the strength level cannot exceed the late stage of mutation.

Secondly, the reason why simplified contracts are called "simplified" is because the "binding force" of such contracts is almost non-existent.

If the contracted pet becomes dissatisfied and wants to break free from the contract, the simplified contract can be easily terminated.

Even the pets themselves won't be greatly affected; on the contrary, the beast tamer's beast taming space might be damaged as a result.

This is why simple contracts must be made with weaker pets.

Moreover, if a pet bound by a simple contract suffers a major blow, the simple contract may break directly and be destroyed by external forces.

This makes it easy for opponents and enemies to seize upon weaknesses.

The harm caused by a broken contract during combat is far greater than the harm caused by a broken contract in ordinary times.

Thirdly, unlike equal contracts and master-servant contracts, simple contracts do not allow the tamer to communicate with their pet's mind and sense and understand the other's emotions, abilities, and information.

Therefore, it is difficult to establish a good relationship between the beast tamer and the beast through a simple contract.

Furthermore, the simple contract does not allow the pet to enjoy the bonuses brought by the Beastmaster's Beast Taming Space, and it cannot achieve rapid growth in strength.

Fourth, each Beast Tamer can only have one Simplified Contract at a time.

In other words, it's unrealistic to try to tame multiple pets using a simple contract.

Fifth, and finally, although the simplified contract can be easily terminated, the time interval between each Beastmaster's use of the simplified contract must be more than one month, depending on the strength and capabilities of the Beastmaster's space.

However, a month is relatively safe.

After listening, Yun Che was stunned for a long while before he couldn't help but say:

"This is practically a contract designed for extraordinary beings..."

"That's right," Dr. Niu laughed. "Initially, the creator of the Simple Contract was an extraordinary creature with extremely powerful strength and high intelligence, an insect-type extraordinary creature."

"Insects?"

"It is said, or rather, I have only heard about it; there is currently no accurate verification of this matter."

"In ancient times, when humanity was weak, it used this pact to secretly and ambushed and defeated a powerful adversary."

"And thus, humanity has gained its protection and a larger living space."

Yun Che asked doubtfully, "That powerful extraordinary creature should be much stronger than a beast tamer, right? How come it was unaffected?"

"It seems to possess something special; later generations speculated that it might be a Gu worm!"

"Gu worms?!"

Dr. Niu patted him on the shoulder, "Moreover, of course, there will be loopholes in the contracts that others create, but how they do it has not been passed down and no one knows it to this day."

Original origin...

However, this simple contract is truly a contract created by an extraordinary being... Yun Che thought to himself with admiration.

On second thought.

That makes sense. Since beast tamers can create equal contracts and master-servant contracts, it's plausible that extraordinary beings can also create equal contracts.

As Dr. Niu said, besides equal contracts, there may be some special contracts that he is unaware of, which have played an important role at certain times.

"As for now."

Dr. Niu stopped in his tracks. "Because of the various drawbacks of the simplified contract, it is no longer being promoted. Most young beast tamers are unaware of its existence."

"Of course, there are still many users, and the vast majority of them are contracting 'functional' pets, such as mounts, medical pets, or pets for guarding, watching over, and reconnaissance."

Yun Che expressed his understanding.

After all, the number of pets that a beast tamer can contract in their beast taming space is limited, and the beast tamers' energy and resources are also limited.

It's impossible for every beast tamer's pet to possess multiple abilities such as transportation, medical care, guarding, and reconnaissance.

Beastmasters wouldn't specifically tame beasts for these abilities.

Yun Che wouldn't deliberately tame a rideable pet just to save time, and he wouldn't specifically tame medical or scouting pets either.

It can only be said that Kongkong, Iris, or other pets he tames in the future will have this ability, and with a little effort, they will be able to train them.

The existence of simplified contracts can obviously make up for this deficiency to a great extent.

In particular, for those wealthy and powerful families with a history spanning centuries, the simple contract is of the greatest help to their young beast tamers.

However, the drawbacks of the simplified contract make it unsuitable for ordinary beast tamers to use.

"For other ordinary beast tamers, this would be very disadvantageous, but with your talent as a beast tamer, you can make use of this simple contract," Dr. Niu said.

Yun Che possesses the power of Eternal Rock, enabling him to interact with his pets' emotions.

Those who are inherently violent or extremely hostile will find even the power of Tokiwa useless.

However, if the pet is docile by nature and close to human beast tamers, and has the power of Eternal Will to assist it, then the drawbacks of signing a simple contract are much smaller.

"You only had a level 1 Beast Taming Space before, so I didn't mention it to you. Now that you've leveled up to level 2, you can give it a try, but there aren't many options."

Yun Che nodded.

"Doctor, besides the simplified contract, are there any other types of contracts?"

Dr. Niu glanced at him and nodded slightly. "Sharing contracts, inheritance contracts, devil contracts, parasitic contracts, and so on."

So many?

"Actually, you don't need to know too much about these things; they won't do you much good."

"These are all contracts created for special circumstances, and the vast majority of them have been phased out."

It seemed that Dr. Niu was unwilling to say more about this, so Yun Che did not inquire further.

The two arrived at the garden behind the research institute, where many extraordinary creatures were kept, including some that could be used for transportation, such as the water-splitting spiders that Yun Che and the others had ridden before.

"Although there aren't many choices, there are still some to choose from. Take a look for yourself..."

As Dr. Niu spoke, a system notification popped up.

[You saved the doctor and gained his approval. Please make your choice!]

[Accept Main Quest Six: Capture the Third One!]

[Mission Rewards: Viridian Power (Intermediate), Mastery Seed (Purple) x5, TM (Toxic) x1]

Ok?

Is a simple contract considered a form of subjugation?

And this reward...
