July 18, 2316.
Nanfu Province, Nanping County.
Nanping No. 1 Middle School, Class 15, Senior High School.
As the exam bell rang, the invigilator collected the final exam papers.
After collecting all the test papers, the invigilator said a few words before leaving:
"Next semester, you will be high school sophomores. During the summer vacation, pet beast incubation bases across the country will hold awakening ceremonies for prospective high school sophomores. Students who are willing to enter the beast control class and successfully awaken the beast control space, remember to choose your pet early. beast."
The students below listened honestly, but their faces couldn't help but be excited.
After the invigilator left, a burst of cheers erupted in the classroom:
"The exam is finally over! I can choose a pet beast during the summer vacation. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Jiang Qi, you haven't gone through the awakening ceremony yet, so don't have high expectations. Be careful that you won't even be able to awaken the pet beast space by then."
"Screw you! Master, I will definitely be able to awaken the pet beast space! I have calculated it with the master, and I can definitely become a beast master."
"..."
Among the ecstatic students, at the third to last table by the window in the classroom, a girl with a neat and refreshing single ponytail was looking solemnly at the high school history book, muttering in her mouth:
"What's going on...how is it possible...that it's still so outrageous?!"
Thousands of words, all gathered into one word——
Gan!
Gu Ling's eyes were full of shock, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.
Who would have thought that she was taking a nap at home, and when she opened her eyes, she was in the high school classroom, where she was taking the last subject of the final exam for her first year of high school.
At first, Gu Ling thought she was reborn, but when she saw the question on the paper, she was completely confused——
[What are the evolution conditions for Menesa to evolve into Menesaru]
[What are the restraint attributes of the flying system]
[What is the correct approach when encountering pet poachers in the wild]
[What are the current guardian-level pet beasts in Longxuan Kingdom]
Fortunately, when Gu Ling traveled through time, the answers were already written on the scroll, so she didn't have to blindly fill in the answers.
After the exam, Gu Ling turned in the textbook immediately after handing in the test paper. The result——
History book: "Five Thousand Years of Controlling Beasts"
Biology book: "Body Structure of Pet Animals"
Chinese language book: "Language of Pet Beasts"
Physics book: "Development and Application of Beast Control Space"
Gu Ling's series of strange reactions caught the eye of his deskmate Huang Weiwei, who couldn't help but say after answering the answer after the exam:
"Ling Ling, don't look at it. The final paper test only accounts for 30% of the comprehensive score. The placement test next semester is the most important."
"Battle placement test..." Gu Ling turned to look at Huang Weiwei, his expression becoming serious.
Gu Ling learned from the memories that appeared in his mind that although the world had changed greatly, his relatives and friends from his previous life were still there, and his personality and friendships had not changed much.
This is a comfort at least.
Huang Weiwei is Gu Ling's high school classmate. No matter which world they are in, the relationship between the two is very good.
"Yes." Huang Weiwei nodded, and then remembered that Gu Ling had said before that he would not develop into a beast master, and immediately said with regret: "I almost forgot, you said before that you would not become a beast master because it was too hot. Money.”
"Oh, I still want to be in the same class with you next semester and continue to be your deskmate."
Hearing this, Gu Ling shook his head: "Who said I'm not a beast master?"
With the memories he received, Gu Ling knew that this world was no longer the relatively peaceful and stable world in his previous life.
About 4,000 years ago, unknown secret realms suddenly appeared all over the world, and a steady stream of strange creatures emerged from the secret realms. They were grotesque creatures with the power of destruction, and were called extraordinary creatures.
Five hundred years after the emergence of extraordinary creatures, some humans accidentally awakened to a contract space that allowed them to contract and communicate with extraordinary creatures. By taming extraordinary creatures, they could use the abilities of extraordinary creatures to expand their territory and protect the territory of the human race.
After thousands of years, humans and most extraordinary creatures can coexist harmoniously. Humans who can contract extraordinary creatures are collectively called beast masters. The contracted space is called the beast master space, and the extraordinary creatures contracted by the beast masters are called pets. beast.
Until modern times, beast masters have become the most popular profession on Blue Star. Any industry related to beast masters is extremely popular. And the Longxuan Kingdom where Gu Ling is located, soon after the founding of the country, the beast master examination Incorporated into the college entrance examination system.
After every student from Longxuan Kingdom enters high school, he will begin to systematically learn basic beast-control knowledge. In his sophomore year of high school, he will take a placement test.
In addition to the liberal arts classes that Gu Ling was familiar with, there was also a beast control class.
If you want to enter the beast-taming class, the first condition is to awaken the beast-taming space and contract a pet beast.
Huang Weiwei looked happy: "Ling Ling, have you changed your mind? That's great!"
"If you don't have enough money to buy a pet beast, I can lend it to you first. When you make money as a professional beast master, it won't be too late to pay it back to me."
Gu Ling smiled slightly: "Thank you. If I don't have enough money by then, I will definitely ask a rich woman like you to borrow it."
Huang Weiwei in this world is also a young rich woman. Her family does some business related to beast control and makes a lot of money.
The two of them had a good relationship, and they helped each other on weekdays, so Gu Ling was naturally not polite.
…
After Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei packed their things, they walked out of the classroom together.
As soon as she left the classroom, Huang Weiwei said enthusiastically: "Ling Ling, I will come to you tomorrow morning, and we will go to the awakening ceremony together."
Gu Ling nodded: "Okay."
Gu Ling in this world seems to have never wanted to develop into a beast master, and his knowledge of beast control is only from teaching textbooks.
Having Huang Weiwei lead the way to what the invigilator calls the "pet hatching base" can also save trouble.
When passing by the high school district, Gu Ling was mentally prepared, but when he saw the pet beasts following the high school students with his own eyes, his outlook was refreshed again.
Why can camels breathe fire? Why can cats discharge electricity? Why can fish spit out ice cubes?
Whose mantis is one meter tall?
Outrageous!
Gu Ling was wildly shocked in his heart, and kept comforting himself that this was normal...it was normal...it was a different world! What’s the big deal!
When the two of them left the school gate, they saw the private car arranged by Huang Weiwei's family to pick them up waiting for them.
Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei approached the private car and said hello to a middle-aged man next to them.
"Uncle Fu."
Seeing the two people approaching, the middle-aged man stood up straight and smiled:
"Miss, Miss Gu, did the exam go well?"
Huang Weiwei reached out and held Gu Ling's arm: "Uncle Fu, don't worry. Ling Ling helped me make up lessons before, so there will be no problem in the final exam."
Gu Ling didn't even blink and nodded without any guilt: "Yes, Uncle Fu, don't worry."
The former "Gu Ling" was also Gu Ling. Rounding off, the previous results were hers.
Taking advantage of this summer vacation, Gu Ling had to quickly replenish his knowledge of beast control and maintain his reputation as a top student.
ten minutes later.
Uncle Fu sent Gu Ling to the gate of a community. After saying goodbye to each other, the car drove away.
Gu Ling walked into the community, and the memories of the two lives gradually overlapped. For a moment, she was a little confused about which world she was in.
When he stopped at the door of a familiar home, Gu Ling looked a little hesitant. He reached out and took out the key from his schoolbag, and opened the door with a 'click'.
Then he pushed the door open and shouted tentatively:
"I'm back."
No one was in the house.
No sound could respond to Gu Ling.
Gu Ling lowered his head and glanced at the shoe cabinet. The few pairs of commonly worn shoes on the floor were all women's shoes.
Passing through the living room, Gu Ling glanced at the balcony. There were only school uniforms and skirts hanging outside, all girls' clothes.
And the entire house, two bedrooms and one living room, plus kitchen, bathroom and balcony... This is the place where Gu Ling, a man from two worlds, has lived alone for more than ten years.
"Why."
Gu Ling sighed and placed his schoolbag on the sofa in the living room.
Sure enough, in this world, she is still an orphan without a father or mother.
Although he had received the memory of this world beforehand, Gu Ling still had a trace of fantasy in his heart.
But now, facing an empty room with only her alone, Gu Ling felt lost for a moment, and then quickly accepted this fact.
Gu Ling got into the study room, turned on the computer, and checked the situation of the world online.
Most importantly, Gu Ling wanted to know about the Nanping pet beast hatching base and awakening ceremony that he was going to tomorrow.
Among the pet beasts recommended to newcomers by the Nanping Pet Beast Incubation Base in previous years, there are six attributes:
Grass: fan grass, cotton wool
Fire: Explosive Rat, Fire Dull Hunchback
Water: small water leopard, bubble fish
Electricity: Thunder-marked cat, electric armored cow
Flight: Black-feathered Sparrow, Meteor Swallow
Insects: poisonous tail worms, colorful spiders
Among them, grass-type and water-type pets are most suitable for new beast masters, while fire-type and electric-type pets are generally irritable and difficult to control.
Many times, if new beastmasters do not train their pets well, there will be cases where the beasts accidentally injure the beastmasters and then be taken to the hospital for rescue.
Later, Gu Ling went to the forum of Nanping Pet Beast Incubation Base to browse:
[I bought a bubble fish at the Nanping Pet Beast Hatching Base. It’s so cute! This looks amazing! [Image] [image]】
[Damn it, I backhandedly beat up my ugly and cute hunchback! 】
[Upstairs, are you sure your hair wasn’t burned by the fire in your house? 】
【So nervous! I'm going to awaken tomorrow. Can anyone share with me how the awakening ceremony works? 】
[Don’t worry, just follow the staff’s instructions and it will be done in an hour]
[Yes, just enter a dark room full of black magnets, and then sit and meditate]
【……】
"...It looks like there is no danger." After browsing some of the forum comments, Gu Ling couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's awakening ceremony.
But soon, Gu Ling remembered another big problem.
Even if she could awaken the beast-controlling space, she has no money and cannot afford to buy a well-qualified pet beast!
The lowest price at the Nanping Pet Beast Hatching Base is 100,000 for insect-type pet beast eggs and 150,000 for insect-type pet beast cubs.
Popular fire and electric pet beasts, the lowest price is around 300,000.
So, Gu Ling began to count his family's property.
