Alanna stepped forward and used her ability "Heal" on the mutant Tiger King. Since it was now their pet, they naturally wanted to heal it. They couldn’t have a tiger head that was swollen like a pig’s head, looking all boastful.

Waldo was also very satisfied with the Tiger King’s combat power. Despite his effortless victory earlier, the Tiger King was undoubtedly strong. If a human were to take his full force punch, their skull would definitely crack open.

But even such a powerful punch was blocked by the mutant Tiger King, and its claw only swelled up without fracturing. Its close combat capabilities were quite terrifying.

However, Waldo wondered if the Tiger King’s skin could withstand ordinary bullets.

Bang!

Waldo suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot the Tiger King’s leg.

The Tiger King howled in pain, but there was no blood; it was just hurt by the shot. Its bulletproof skin, indeed a standard feature of mutant creatures.

Waldo was growing fonder of the Tiger King and patted its head. After being tamed, the Tiger King became much gentler, but its deep fear of Waldo remained unchanged. It was now even more afraid when Waldo touched it.

Waldo smiled at Helen. "How about this mutant tiger? Pretty good, right?" He teased and scratched the tiger’s chin.

The Tiger King moved its head, somewhat puzzled by the terrifying creature making it feel somewhat comfortable.

Helen also laughed and patted the Tiger King’s head. "Of course, I like it. We needed a big cat to guard the house."

Alanna finished using her ability and looked at the dark mutant Tiger King, suggesting, "Why don’t we give this tiger a name?"

Waldo and Helen agreed.

"Sure, after all, it will be with us for some time. Giving it a name sounds good," Waldo said.

Alanna thought for a moment and proposed, "How about ’White’?"

Waldo was puzzled.

Helen blinked and said, "White is too ordinary. How about ’Little Tiger’?"

Waldo had multiple question marks in his head.

These two girls were truly a pair of best friends with similar naming talents.

As Waldo scratched the Tiger King’s chin, it nuzzled gently.

Looking at the two women discussing the name, it seemed to think it was related to itself?

With only a hint of intelligence, it seemed to understand but not fully comprehend.

Waldo cleared his throat, and the two women turned to look at him. He calmly suggested, "Alanna, Helen, how about we call it ’Chubby’?"

After considering it for a moment, Alanna and Helen agreed and settled on the name.

Helen touched Chubby’s fur and said, "Chubby, from now on, this name will be your code name. Do you understand, Chubby?"

Chubby, of course, didn’t understand how uninteresting the word "Chubby" was. But it knew that the name was referring to itself.

Roar!

Chubby obediently roared in response.

Waldo let go of Chubby and patted its head. He then said to Alanna and Helen, "The mission is complete, let’s head back."

With the beast problem resolved, there was no need to stay in the forest any longer.

However, just as they were about to leave, Chubby stopped them and smartly gestured with its front paw in the air before turning away.

Helen looked at Chubby as it walked away and said, "Chubby wants us to wait; it seems to have something to give us."

The situation was sudden. Even as a beast tamer, Helen wasn’t sure what Chubby wanted to do. After all, there was a communication barrier, and they couldn’t communicate their intentions to each other.

As long as the [Beast Control] was still active, even if Chubby went far away, it would come back. This was the bond formed by [Beast Control].

Waldo shrugged indifferently. "It doesn’t matter; we can wait. I don’t know what Chubby is up to, but my instincts are usually right."

Sure enough, Chubby quickly returned, carrying a stone in its mouth.

Chubby ran up to Helen with graceful steps and spat out the stone in its mouth.

Helen rinsed off the dirt on the stone with water and picked it up. Then, she exclaimed, "Waldo, Chubby just gave us a great treasure!"

Waldo took the stone, and his eyes lit up. It was an essential item for upgrading the advanced underground fortress!

An [Energy Stone]!

It could provide energy for the advanced underground fortress and sustain its ecological system, and no other energy source could replace it!

This was a platinum-level item!

Moreover, with just this one energy stone, they could upgrade their advanced underground fortress. Of course, they still needed a large amount of basic materials as well.

But Waldo had already collected dozens of S-alloys and thousands of pounds of concrete from Saturn, which was more than enough!

He had thought there wouldn’t be a chance to upgrade before the meteor shower arrived, but unexpectedly, they obtained the energy stone!

Although their intermediate underground fortress was already sufficient, who wouldn’t want their home to become more luxurious and comfortable?

With the energy stone in his hand, Waldo laughed heartily. "Let’s go! Let’s go back and upgrade the advanced underground fortress!"

Chubby was indeed lucky. It gave them a grand gift the first time they met!

The three humans and one tiger happily returned to the villa area.

Once home, Waldo immediately began preparing for the upgrade of the advanced underground fortress. Time was running out, and the countdown to the meteor shower’s arrival had begun.

As the impending catastrophe approached, it brought out the ugliest aspects of human nature at the last moment.

When the announcement about the meteor shower’s arrival was made, the survivors remained relatively rational. But now, as it reached the final critical stage, the survivors who still hadn’t gathered enough resources began fighting each other.

This was the last struggle for survival, and it would only become more insane.

Some might become so desperate that even though they knew Waldo’s strength, they would still challenge him head-on and be killed by the automated defense system.

Another possibility was that these survivors, realizing their hopeless situation, might choose to end their own lives.

This was why Waldo was so excited when he saw the energy stone.

At present, its value far exceeded that of regular platinum-level items. In a special environment, one could say it was priceless!
