Gu Ling in both worlds has the habit of working part-time. His daily expenses are simple, and he has saved a lot of money. In addition, the state provides subsidies for poor students, orphans, school subsidies, and various competitions every year. The total bonus is 100,000 Dragon Mysterious Coins.
But this money is far from enough to buy a well-qualified pet beast cub or pet egg.
"I have to find a way to borrow some money..." Gu Ling looked at the bank cards and bankbooks scattered in front of him and sighed.
At this time, Gu Ling's cell phone beside him rang.
Gu Ling picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from someone with the note "Second Uncle". He swiped his finger to the right to connect: "Second Uncle."
On the other end of the call was Gu Ling's few relatives, Gu Ling's late father's younger brother, Gu Ling's uncle - Gu Mingsheng.
Gu Ling's parents died when he was a child, and he was sent to an orphanage for a while. Later, when Gu Mingsheng learned the news, he took Gu Ling back to his home.
Gu Mingsheng has been married for almost twenty years and has a son and daughter who are the same age as Gu Ling. Although Gu Mingsheng's family takes good care of Gu Ling, Gu Ling didn't want to trouble others all the time, so he moved out when he was in junior high school.
The house she lives in now is a community with good location and good security that Gu Mingsheng helped her find.
Gu Mingsheng asked: "Have you finished the final exam? Tomorrow is the awakening ceremony. Do you want to participate?"
"join."
"That's good." After hearing this answer, Gu Mingsheng's tone was obviously a little more relaxed: "In this world, becoming a beast master is still the most promising. I will take the time to come over and accompany you in the next two days."
Gu Ling refused and said, "Second uncle, Weiwei and I have already made an appointment to go together. There is no need to trouble you to come all the way."
Gu Mingsheng's family lived in Yangxi County, which is next door to Nanping County. Gu Ling moved here after passing the Nanping Middle School in junior high school. It took several hours to go back and forth between the two counties.
Gu Ling knew that Gu Mingsheng's son and daughter would also participate in the awakening ceremony this year, so he rejected his kindness.
Hearing this, Gu Mingsheng did not force it: "Okay, remember to tell me when the results come out."
"You don't have to be too burdened. The inheritance left by your parents has been deposited in the bank for you over the years. It is enough to buy a pet beast cub with medium qualifications."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
After hanging up the call, Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
A second ago, she was still worrying about where the money to buy the pet beast would come from.
The next second, a solution came.
Gu Ling muttered: "I almost forgot, my parents left a legacy in my last life. I remember it was a house and more than 200,000 in cash. I wonder how much it will be in this life?"
As a student and an orphan, Gu Ling enjoys preferential policies, so he can spend less money to buy pets.
If the inheritance has 200,000 in cash, plus the 100,000 that Gu Ling has on hand, within the scope of the preferential policies, he should be able to buy a pet beast cub or egg with better qualifications.
After excluding the money spent on purchasing pet beasts, part of the remaining money is used for living expenses and part is used to cultivate pet beasts.
Very nice!
…
the next day.
Gu Ling took Huang Weiwei's family car and went to the Nanping Pet Beast Hatching Base. In addition to the driver Fu Bo, Huang Weiwei's parents were also accompanying him.
The awakening ceremony is a top priority, and parents will basically accompany their children.
By the time we arrived at the Nanping Pet Beast Hatching Base, there was already a long queue at the door, filled with prospective high school seniors and their parents.
Huang Weiwei's mother, Shen Qing, warned the two of them: "You two, don't be nervous later, just treat it with a normal attitude."
"I got it, Mom."
"Okay, Aunt Shen."
The two came to the entrance of the base and showed their student ID cards to the staff.
The machine scanned the student ID card and after confirming that the identity was correct, the staff handed the student ID card and a number plate to the two people.
Entering the base, Huang Weiwei looked at the numbers on their number plates: "We are both E307-3, we should have been awakened in the same 'black room'."
Gu Ling nodded: "Yes."
'E' represents which building, '307' represents which room in the building, and the last number '3' represents the third batch of people who performed the awakening ceremony in this room.
After asking a staff member, the two found the room on the floor where E307-3 was located.
After the second batch of awakened students came out, Gu Ling and the third batch of awakened students walked into the room under the guidance of the staff.
In the room, the walls and floors are made of special black black magnets.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the first human being to awaken to the beast-controlling space accidentally fell into a black magnet mine and got lost in it for three days and three nights. Under the influence of a special magnetic field, he awakened to the beast-controlling space.
In the following thousands of years, humans have not stopped researching black black magnets, but they still cannot explain why this special magnet can allow humans to awaken to the beast-controlling space of communicating with pet beasts.
After the third batch of people arrived, the staff began to explain the process:
"You have to stay in the room for an hour. During this hour, everyone should meditate, empty their brains, and don't think about anything."
"After an hour, you can leave and go to the pet center at the base for testing to determine whether it is awakened."
After the staff finished speaking, they exited the room.
At this time, a broadcast sounded: "After ten seconds, turn off the lights in the room. Please find a seat and sit down. Keep quiet. No whispering is allowed."
After Gu Ling and others heard the announcement, they quickly found a place to sit down.
The method of meditation is actually very simple. It doesn’t require any formulas or exercises. It just needs to free your mind, but you can’t let yourself get distracted.
Gu Ling sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, closed his eyes, and calmed down.
There was no sound around, it was so quiet that only some breathing could be heard.
After closing my eyes, I only felt gray.
Time passed little by little, and Gu Ling didn't know how long it had passed. Suddenly, he felt a glimmer of light in front of the darkness.
Gu Ling knew very well that she had not opened her eyes. She wanted to get closer to the light, but was sucked into it in an instant...
Suddenly, Gu Ling seemed to see an almost transparent black space, and something seemed to be floating directly above the space.
Before Gu Ling had time to take a closer look, he was interrupted by a call in his ear:
"Ling Ling, the awakening time is over."
Gu Ling opened his eyes and saw Huang Weiwei next to him. At this time, the lights and doors of the entire room were also opened, and the other awakening students exited the meditation one after another.
Gu Ling stood up and asked Huang Weiwei: "How do you feel?
"It seems...awakened? I saw the beast control space, but I'm just not sure." Huang Weiwei shrugged.
At this time, the announcement in the room sounded:
"The awakening ceremony is over. Please leave the room as soon as possible and go to the Pet Center to check the awakening results."
"..."
…
after an hour.
Inside the pet center.
After Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei went through a series of tests, the results of their awakening came out.
After reading the report, the staff member smiled at the two of them: "Congratulations, you have awakened the beast control space."
"During the summer vacation, the base will open preferential channels for students to purchase pets. If you want to buy pets at the base, remember to come during this period to get a 20% discount."
"This is a meditation manual for the beast-controlling space. You can also find specific methods of meditation in the beast-controlling space on the official website of the Nanping Pet Beast Incubation Base."
Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei received the awakening results report and a booklet from the staff, registered the identity information of the preliminary beast masters, and left the petting center of the base.
Huang Weiwei took Gu Ling's hand and was jumping up and down with excitement: "Great! We have both awakened the beast mastering space and can be beast masters together!"
"Ling Ling, do you have enough money to buy a pet beast?"
Gu Ling smiled and said: "My parents left me a legacy, enough to buy a pet beast."
"That's good." After hearing this, Huang Weiwei felt relieved:
"After you choose your pet, I won't be able to accompany you here. My pet has been reserved by my parents for a long time. It is said that it is a pet egg born by a highly qualified pet from the Far East."
"It's probably coming soon, and it will take a long time to hatch the eggs."
Hearing this, Gu Ling couldn't help but feel sour.
"Tsk, tsk, you are Versailles!"
"There is a highly qualified pet beast as your first contracted pet beast, and you are still embarrassed? I'm looking for a fight!"
With that said, Gu Ling stretched out his claws towards Huang Weiwei and used his special trick - tickling!
"Hey hey hey... I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare my life!" Huang Weiwei's face panicked, she backed away and ran away, begging for mercy.
"..."
The two of them left the base gate while fighting.
The three people waiting outside learned that both Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei had awakened to the beast-controlling space, and they were overjoyed. Huang's father, Huang Yuanyang, even waved his hand and took several people to a high-end restaurant for lunch to celebrate the two.
…
After lunch, Gu Ling was sent back.
After returning home, Gu Ling immediately told Gu Mingsheng the good news and asked about the results of his cousin's awakening.
There was a hint of smile in Gu Mingsheng's voice: "They have also awakened and will choose a suitable pet beast soon."
"I'll go over there in the next two days and give you your parents' things."
"I understand, second uncle."
After hanging up the call, Gu Ling started surfing the Internet, browsing information on the 12 pet beasts recommended by the Nanping Pet Beast Incubation Base, and found many related battle videos and training videos, taking notes while watching them.
Before I knew it, a few hours passed.
Gu Ling checked the time on his phone. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, so he ordered a takeaway and then read through the notes he had recorded from the beginning:
"Insect-type pets are the cheapest, have a short training cycle, and can quickly develop combat effectiveness. However, their lifespan is generally not long, and their appearance is also low..."
"Grass, water and flying pet beasts are all docile and obedient in character, but if they are too docile they may lack the will to fight and will not cooperate with daily training and fighting, so they are the second choice."
"Electric and fire pet beasts have a certain degree of combat effectiveness in their childhood, are highly competitive, and are generally war-crazy, but they also run the risk of being disobedient, and are difficult to cultivate and the most expensive..."
