"Something better than the Arctic Banyan? You sure talk a big game."

The scarlet macaw scoffed and hopped beneath the windshield, fiddling with a small object at its side with its claws.

"We'll see if I'm all talk soon enough."

Zhou Mu said this while channeling soul energy to etch the mode.

The basic qualification for an Animal Whisperer is the ability to inscribe a Soul Contract independently.

Typically, with a soul intensity of just one point, a bit more practice would suffice.

Zhou Mu's natural talent was lacking. When he made the pact with Gator, he needed Zhou Ming's assistance.

"Enter!"

It took just over ten seconds for Zhou Mu to complete the Soul Contract inscription. He gestured to the glowing mode, signaling the scarlet macaw to step in.

The macaw didn't hesitate. As a spirit animal, it was fated never to grow, its best hope being to serve as a diminutive steward in the shop.

Despite its protests, the scarlet macaw was deeply thankful to Zhou Mu.

Even if it couldn't reach the second rank!

"Given your size, you're no bigger than a chick, and quite the goofball. How about Chicken Two for a name?"

"Chicken Two?"

The name left the scarlet macaw momentarily dumbfounded, then seething with anger.

"You're Chicken Two, your whole family's Chicken Two!"

It ranted, pecking at Zhou Mu's head in a fury, yet it only managed to ruffle his hair without causing real harm.

"Oh? Not fond of Chicken Two?"

Zhou Mu casually flipped a second rank spirit crystal in the air, catching it with ease.

The macaw's gaze locked onto the crystal, tracking Zhou Mu's every move with rapt attention.

"Keep it up!"

After several tosses, Zhou Mu playfully lobbed the crystal to the macaw.

"Boss, I'm proud to be your Chicken Two!"

The scarlet macaw caught the spirit crystal, affectionately nuzzling Zhou Mu's face.

The crystal was as large as its own head; swallowing it would surely lead to a choking hazard.

It must be acknowledged that the system's service was exceptionally attentive.

With a peck at the spirit crystal, the scarlet macaw transformed it into a mist that spiraled into its nostrils.

"Oh~~~"

The scarlet macaw emitted an odd noise, clearly having watched the movie alongside its previous owner.

"I'm starting to have regrets."

Zhou Mu massaged his temples, sensing that this bird's issues went beyond its sharp tongue; its mind seemed equally off-kilter.

The scarlet macaw leveled up rapidly, and within ten seconds, two options materialized on the panel.

[Wing Blade: Turns wings into blades to shred targets.]

[Strong Wind: Generates a gale by rapidly flapping wings.]

After some deliberation, Zhou Mu selected Wing Blade.

If the spirit animal was meant for close combat, he figured he might as well commit fully to that path.

For area attacks, Gator was sufficient; the scarlet macaw could be honed into an assassin.
