Beneath the exhibition gift box were two boxes of the same size. Upon opening, they revealed a peculiarly designed shoulder strap and an equally peculiar wristband.

Although these straps were adorned with exquisite gems and silk, there was a noticeable gap in the middle, making them appear incomplete as accessories.

After trying them on, Kadia realized what these items were.

'Pet Carrying Device,' a new term recently introduced by Blue Star, initially used for carrying Lightwing Butterflies. However, it seemed these shoulder and wrist straps were also Pet Carrying Devices.

Kadia had seen the carrying devices for Lightwing Butterflies; although they were also shoulder straps, the area reserved for the beast was much smaller than the one she now held. Thus, Kadia guessed that this shoulder strap was intended for those Wingless Flyers.

As for the wristband, Kadia couldn't quite imagine which beast it was specifically designed for.

Even without knowing how to use these carrying devices, Kadia was thrilled. After all, these were exclusive items for the exhibition, available only to those who received invitations. Once she purchased a Wingless Flyer, showing it off would surely make her feel special!

Kadia turned her attention back to the gift box. Even after opening three boxes, there was still the bottom layer left.

This layer contained two brand-new brooches, one for the Floating Water Duck and another for a shell-shaped beast that resembled the small shell on the box cover, which Kadia had never seen before.

There was also an exhibition-exclusive commemorative scented balm and a small mirror, both exclusive to the exhibition.

Overall, the gift box wasn't overwhelmingly luxurious, as it was merely a pre-exhibition gift rather than a Blue Star gift. However, for Kadia, who was receiving a beast shop gift box for the first time, it was memorable enough.

Kadia carefully put away the exhibition's special admission shell brooch, which also served as the invitation to the event. It was essential to bring it along to gain entry to the exhibition.

Although the exhibition was still some time away, Kadia was already looking forward to the grand event where all the high society would gather.

Compared to the pre-exhibition gift box, the Blue Star gift box didn't include much more, just an additional Sparkle Bracelet and an invitation for the Floating Water Duck's new route.

Moreover, the two beast carrying devices were more exquisitely crafted and unique, with the guest's name engraved inside the gems.

With such treatment, Lorant was sure that those self-important individuals would willingly spend money on new beasts.

After all, to showcase these unique beast carrying devices that signified their noble status, one must pair them with the beasts.

Lorant also wore a custom-made sea-blue wristband on his wrist.

It matched harmoniously with the sea-blue gemstone bracelet Lancelot had given him.

This was the equipment Lorant prepared for the Oulu Shell, a small creature. The center of the wristband had a groove coated with the juice of the 'High Mountain Suction Flower,' providing a strong adhesive force that kept the Oulu Shell securely in place.

When it wanted to leave, it wouldn't leave any uncomfortable residue on its shell.

With this wristband, even when walking or performing more vigorous actions like a professional, the Oulu Shell on the wrist wouldn't be thrown off.

Similar to the Windbreaker Horse's reins and the Lightwing Butterfly's shoulder strap, this equipment would be given as a gift by Blue Star when professionals purchased beasts.

However, the gifted version was the most basic one; other styles required additional payment.

The more advanced styles were not only more visually appealing but also more favored by the Oulu Shell, with added details that made them more comfortable to inhabit.

Thus, when choosing, Lorant could already imagine professionals reluctantly spending money due to the Oulu Shell's preferences.

Lorant closed the small shell on his wrist, allowing the little pig inside to quietly enjoy the snack he had prepared.

The Oulu Shell loved concentrated dried aquatic beast meat, and Lorant had prepared plenty. The little creature didn't eat much, so storing a few pieces in its shell meant it could eat whenever it wanted, and Lorant didn't have to worry about it going hungry.

After patting the pig's shell, Lorant returned to the breeding area of the Exotic Beast Warehouse.

The past couple of days, there haven’t been any new beast pets that required Lorant’s attention.

The breeding of the Meat Mountain was still in preparation, and for this matter, Robert had almost moved his entire household to the beast pet shop.

Although the Beast Tower was quite spacious, when it came to beast pet breeding, the beast pet shop was definitely more prepared.

Whether it was the various instruments or the floating octopuses, which had gained considerable experience in beast pet breeding, they had all helped Robert become one of the mages who now frequently stayed at the beast pet shop.

As for the breeding of other beast pets, some, like the Glassy Ice Flame Dogs, were put on hold due to the lack of live beasts to utilize, while others, such as the Floating Giant Ducks, had already started to follow a regular routine, and the floating octopuses could handle the breeding work on their own.

Lorant had complete confidence in his little helpers.

Each floating octopus was a smart and capable assistant, and fortunately, many of them were quite interested in beast pet breeding. Therefore, Lorant didn’t need to worry at all about the majority of the breeding and daily maintenance in the beast pet storage.

He came here today after a floating octopus specifically floated over to find him, saying that a strange little one had appeared among the newly hatched Wingless Flywheel.

Lorant immediately sensed that something interesting might be happening.

He had always been eager for special beast pets of sr and ssr levels, each of which possessed unique abilities.

And each of them was of great help to him.

Unfortunately, since the birth of Snow Snow (the Glassy Ice Flame Dogs with sensing abilities), the beast pet shop hadn’t seen any special beast pets for a long time.

Lorant, brimming with anticipation, pushed open the breeding room door, only to find it bustling with activity.

Dozens of floating octopuses were suspended in mid-air, huddled together, apparently trying to catch something.

Each of them was looking around in confusion, their big heads filled with big questions.

A few little ones had their tentacles tangled together, almost tying themselves and their partners into a dead knot.

"What’s going on?" Lorant looked at the chaotic scene in surprise. "What happened?"

Kong Yi squeezed out from among the crowd of floating octopuses, grabbed a water pen from nearby, and wrote on the wall specifically used for writing: "That special Wingless Flywheel is missing."

"We are trying to catch it, but it’s very fast, and we haven’t succeeded."

Not only did they fail, but the mischievous little one also thoroughly teased them, almost tying a bunch of floating octopuses into a dead knot.

Kong Yi was a bit embarrassed to say this, so he didn’t write it down.

After reading it, Lorant and Kong Yi exchanged puzzled looks. "Disappeared? Can Wingless Flywheels fly that fast?"

Kong Yi shook his soft, big head, indicating that he didn’t know what had happened.

He wasn’t initially in the incubation room but was guiding a new batch of hatched Floating Giant Ducks from the interface between the first floor of the beast pet storage and the underground river to let these little ones out.

Who knew this would happen? He immediately came over to check, and now there were still many little ducks stuck at the exit of the underground river, chirping and waiting to leave!

Lorant immediately turned his head to look at Fa Meng, who was dozing off beside his head, grabbed the little fat dragon’s paw, and shook it awake.

"Don’t sleep, Fa Meng, find out where that little one has gone?"

Fa Meng, rudely awakened by Lorant, blinked sleepily at him for a moment before grasping the situation.

Fortunately, even while asleep, Fa Meng never slackened in monitoring the beast pet shop.

So it quickly turned its gaze to under a table in the incubation room.

"It's right there, Lorant." Fa Meng reached out her hand, and the space under the table lit up instantly.

A phantom darted out from under the glowing tabletop, zipping past Lorant.

Fa Meng passed Lorant a small net. With a simple wave of his hand, the net in his hand suddenly felt heavier.

He peered in and saw he'd caught a small Wingless Flywheel.

The caught Wingless Flywheel looked thrilled and stopped trying to escape. Seeing Lorant's hand reach into the net, it snuggled up right away, rubbing its soft Maomao against him.

Lorant was briefly taken aback by the little creature's eagerness but still gave it a little tap on the head.

The little one, knocked down, wasn't fazed and kept snuggling into Lorant's palm. This time, Lorant closed his hand and pulled out the affectionate little one.

"Little one, you've got to stop being so mischievous, okay?" As soon as Lorant touched it, he understood why the floating octopuses couldn't catch it—this kid was just toying with these slower big guys.

What a little troublemaker!

The Wingless Flywheel buzzed in Lorant's palm, stopping its fluttering wings obediently and resting gently by Lorant's hand.

It was only then that Lorant noticed this unique little creature was a Wingless Flywheel with a lighter hue.

Regular Wingless Flywheels have soft, pitch-black fur, which feels great but hides their facial features, so Lorant nicknames them "little coal balls."

This Wingless Flywheel not only has a light golden color but also flies much faster than normal ones.

Lorant flipped through the ability chart in his mind and, sure enough, found a listing for this little one under the SR category.

"SR" "Child of the Wind": A Wingless Flywheel with the bloodline of the Child of the Wind, its flying speed is five times that of a normal Wingless Flywheel. Due to its color, it is difficult to detect with the naked eye when moving at high speed. Because of its bloodline, its "Arcane Missile" skill has evolved into "Gale Cannon," possessing decent camouflage and attack abilities.
