I'm the Only Salted Fish in the World

In her previous life, Song Yu was a top actress, popular across the land, but ultimately, due to the intense competition ("involution"), she overexerted herself and dropped dead on the red ...

Chapter 23 I Want to Be a Salted Fish (Two in One)

The initial exotic beast distribution day is an annual national event that is as important as the college entrance examination and the Chinese New Year, and everyone is very busy.

The students were busy communicating with the strange beasts, understanding each other, and strengthening their relationships, so that they could be more harmonious in future training.

The staff were busy registering and giving instructions, and signing assistance contracts with the students.

It was already the limit for everyone to spare the time to squeeze the boy with a crew cut and others. Under the premise that the other party and others did not continue to provoke, the crowd watching the excitement in the entire auditorium quickly dispersed.

Han Zhou glanced at the dispersing crowd, then retracted his gaze from Song Yu. He patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Our school beauty's acting is truly amazing! If I hadn't learned a few tricks from my dad, I might have believed that she genuinely respected and cared for the Qin family. But all in all, the Qin family, young and old, were very respectable back then."

Bai Yuhan glanced at Han Zhou, then calmly slapped away the claws that Han Zhou had placed on his shoulder. He said coldly, "Go and contract the exotic beast. I'll be leaving first."

"???" Han Zhou's eyes widened, and he was instantly dissatisfied. "Really? Brother, don't you need to go to work today? The store owner specially gave you three days off. Can't you wait for me in the auditorium? Are you still a brother?"

Han Zhou beat his chest in grief: "In all these years, we haven't even used the restroom together! Everyone has to share the same restroom with their friends, right?!"

Bai Yuhan: “…”

Bai Yuhan had a blank expression on his face, and the look in his eyes was indescribable.

Han Zhou said unwillingly, "No, you have to wait here for me today. My mom said she'd invite you home for dinner! Besides... look at my future new partner. Isn't he handsome, charming, and elegant? He's naturally radiant with a rainbow of colors."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Bai Yuhan was silent for two seconds... looking at the big parrot with colorful feathers and proud chest, he finally had no choice but to compromise.

Sometimes he really doesn't know whether his friend is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Han Zhou and he had met in their first year of high school, where they had been desk mates. Unlike his parents, who had passed away early, Han's family wasn't wealthy, but they loved him dearly. It was a shame, perhaps because he was too happy, that his partner was not only carefree but also a bit silly...

Bai Yuhan was asked by Han Zhou to stay and wait for him, and the two of them found a place to talk.

After all, they are just high school students. Even though Bai Yuhan has the Eye of Rules because his parents were murdered, and has been hiding his identity since childhood and is very vigilant and introverted, he soon started talking about his respective contracted beasts and his thoughts on how to cultivate them in the future under Han Zhou's jokes.

Song Yu huddled in a corner, watching Bai Yuhan warily from time to time. Seeing his frown and deep eyes gradually turn into a slight smile, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

In the original novel, to maintain the protagonist's values ​​and to fit the contemporary style of fiction, the author depicted Bai Yuhan as a highly vigilant yet not bloodthirsty individual. However, to maintain the novel's appeal, Bai Yuhan actually suffered numerous casualties, both directly and indirectly, at the hands of both humans and beasts.

Especially those villains who have offended the hero and wanted to dig out his eyes. They always clash with the hero in various postures and techniques, and finally get slapped in the face.

In the world of high martial arts, the way to be slapped in the face...

At the very least, it can lead to broken bones, while at the worst, it can lead to the destruction of a family and death, with corpses lying on the spot...

All in all, no one has a good ending.

Looking at Bai Yuhan's handsome profile, high nose bridge, and calm and self-controlled attitude.

Song Yu couldn't help but sigh, as the protagonist of a male-oriented romance novel, although the man wasn't as pale and thin as some of the fresh-faced hunks she'd seen in the entertainment industry in her previous life, he was tall, with a straight back, arms brimming with muscular, flowing lines and explosive power, and facial features that rivaled those of celebrities in the entertainment industry, making him look like a sharp saber.

Song Yu believed that as long as Bai Yuhan glanced slightly with his deep eyes, this sharp knife would be enough to pierce the hearts of countless boys and girls.

What a pity...

The sharp blade on the other party only wants to kill all villains and enemies.

And she's... well, the villain among villains.

"Like what happened just now, someone suddenly said in front of the male protagonist that he wanted to dig out the eyes of the Qin family's descendants... It is 100% certain that the next time he takes physical education class, beast taming class, or goes to the wilderness forest after some time, the other party will run into the male protagonist, and end up miserably..." Song Yu sighed.

So... she would never go to the wilderness forest in her life.

After her contract with Qiuqiu ends, she will go back to attend the beast taming class.

"I just fell to the ground and pretended to have a relapse..."

Song Yu smiled and thought to himself, "According to school rules, only those who rank in the top 70% of the class in Beast Taming are eligible to apply to go to the wilderness area for combat training after three months. Anyway, my Beast Taming Space is low-level and my exotic beast aptitude is poor, so it's normal for me to be ranked last in the class, right?"

For students with lower levels of beast taming space, such as F-level and E-level, the energy in the wilderness forest born from the fusion of the secret realm and the blue star is much richer than that in the city, and far exceeds the original energy contained in their own beast taming space, making it more suitable for contracted beasts to practice and achieve breakthrough growth.

For students with a high level of beast taming space, the rich resources and powerful exotic beasts in the wilderness area are good tools for them to hone themselves and improve the strength of exotic beasts.

"But I... let it go!"

"However, the Qin family is really unlucky..."

"Originally, the Qin family's possession of the Eye of Rules allowed them to open numerous exotic beast training bases around the world, making them lucrative. Unexpectedly, they ultimately ended up being destroyed, with the last remaining member of the clan forced to flee."

"What a pity! This is the readers' favorite series of beautiful, strong and tragic characters. In reality, Bai Yuhan is really miserable."

Song Yu rubbed her eyes. After the alarm crisis was over, Song Yu felt a little sleepy. She yawned and wanted to fall back into the reclining chair. This morning, she was woken up by the anxious nanny and Song's mother at home at five or six o'clock... There was no choice but to get up and wash up.

However……

Before Song Yu could take the next step.

The broadcast in front started to sound.

"No. 00444: Song Yu, bring your exotic beast to my place to sign a contract!"

A series of announcements were heard from the second contract seat on the right side of the auditorium, which was different from the high-speed rail station where the platform numbers 1234 were called out.

There were currently nine professional beastmasters in the auditorium, helping people sign contracts. However, they only called out their own numbers. Some would announce the number of the contract table they were at, but some would not. If someone misheard or missed something...

Then you can wait until everyone else has signed a contract before signing one.

Who told you that you couldn't even hear the loud announcement? How could you possibly be mistaken? And you still want to venture into dangerous wildernesses and secret places? Better get some sleep.

There are countless wild beasts in the wilderness forest. Not only do they have pads under their claws, so they can walk in the wilderness forest without making any noise, but they will also actively hide their bodies and attack secretly.

So, except for Song Yu, few people in the entire auditorium dared to yawn or feel sleepy. Everyone focused their attention on the broadcast.

"The Beast Taming Space is F-level, and the contract is with a Snow Spirit Cat with a potential score of 3, right?"

The professional beastmaster at table number 2 held the information of Song Yu and Qiuqiu in his hand and conducted another on-site comparison and confirmation.

"Yes, teacher!" Song Yu took two steps forward and nodded.

Qiuqiu shook his snow-white ears and meowed, looking so cute, soft and adorable.

Looking at the girl's clean and clear smile, he remembered what she had just said in the auditorium.

The professional beastmaster smiled at Song Yu in a friendly manner and consoled him, "In an F-level beast control space, it might not be possible to contract with the contracted beast all at once. Don't worry, you can try a couple more times."

As he spoke, the beastmaster began to explain to Song Yu how to use the beast-taming space as a springboard, look inward at his dantian, and make a contract with the strange beast.

As an Earthling, Song Yu neither knew how to see within the beast-controlling space nor what mental power was.

Even though he had the memories of his original body, Song Yu was still a little confused about these things.

Fortunately, as a yoga enthusiast.

She was still able to focus her scattered attention on her Dantian very quickly...

However--

Just as Song Yu closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and focused his attention on his dantian.

This energy fluctuation, which was invisible and intangible but could be clearly felt by Song Yu, instantly filled her lower abdomen below the navel.

That energy was like a ball of warm jade, constantly hovering in her lower abdomen, warming her limbs and bones, and helping her dispel the scorching summer heat...

It was a magical experience that Song Yu had never experienced before.

Snap! Snap! — Snap!

But for some reason, just as Song Yu held his breath and concentrated, imitating the professional beastmaster's teaching of looking inward at his dantian.

A series of sounds like eggs cracking suddenly rang in Song Yu's ears!

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the incredible mental energy fluctuation, carrying her consciousness, suddenly plunged into the beast-controlling space!

at the same time……

He subconsciously scanned the entire auditorium, his gaze instinctively landing on Bai Yuhan, who was standing at the contract table on the right side of the auditorium. Suddenly, his pupils constricted!

This time, Bai Yuhan was completely shocked!

The surging waves in his heart almost drowned Bai Yuhan.

——[Name: Song Yu (Abnormal Spirit Body)]

[Race: Human]

[Beast Taming Space Level: SSSSSS]

[Description: The Beast Taming Space is of high level, with extremely strong talents and has awakened powerful innate abilities. Currently: The type of innate abilities cannot be detected.]

"Level 6S? How can there be such a level?"

"For thousands of years in human history, hasn't the highest level of beast control been only 4S?"

Bai Yuhan frowned. In fact, he himself was a person who possessed an ssss beast-taming space, which could increase the cultivation speed of contracted beasts by a hundred times after they entered the space.

According to historical records, the last person who possessed an SSSSS-level beast-taming space had been dead for more than eighty years.

Therefore, he always thought that even if the level of his beast-taming space was not the best in the world, it would at least be among the top three in the world.

But now...

Bai Yuhan was not sure.

In a small Jianghuai No. 1 Middle School, there is an owner of an SSSSS beast-taming space, and an owner of an SSSSSSSS-level beast-taming space.

So……

What about the other third-level, second-level, and first-level main cities? And what about those super-first-level main cities?

Are there higher-level Beast Taming Spaces? Is it because these Beast Tamers' Spaces are so high-level that they're deliberately hidden from others? To avoid unrest and covetousness? If this is true, then how many Level 4S Beast Taming Spaces and above are there?

Bai Yuhan felt heavy in his heart. He stared at Song Yu without blinking. The originally relaxed atmosphere around him also became tense.

The boy's mouth corners tightened involuntarily, there was one thing he couldn't understand.

"Could it be possible for a person to awaken a more powerful Beast Taming Dimension after experiencing schizophrenia? It's clear that the person previously awakened an F-class Beast Taming Dimension."

"Given Song Yu's background, if he had awakened a 6S-level Beast Taming Dimension, he wouldn't have had a high fever and been hospitalized, let alone showing off everywhere."

Bai Yuhan's eyes were deep and his brows were furrowed.

Compared to Bai Yuhan who was filled with shock at the moment, Song Yu was also confused the moment he opened his eyes.

Every beastmaster has absolute control over the beast-taming space in his body, so when Song Yu's mental power entered the beast-taming space, he immediately knew all the information in the beast-taming space.

Compared with the pitch-black and chaotic F-level beast-taming space.

The beast-taming space she awakened not only possessed rich original energy, but also had extremely high spatial integrity!

The space has sun, grass, rivers, and oceans, and even every texture on the leaves in the forest is exceptionally clear!

You should know that although the ordinary C-level beast-taming space has formed a basic world and has sufficient original energy, every blade of grass and every tree in the C-level space is like a mosaic and filter. You have no way of distinguishing where the leaves and stems of the plants are, let alone the beast-taming space like Song Yu's current one where every detail is clearly visible.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Song Yu's throat was dry. He looked at the beast-taming space that he had just awakened. The more he looked, the more familiar it became.

Aren’t these the various places I visited in my previous life when I was acting, filming commercials, etc.?

Here you can find the filming base of Xdian's film and television city, the real-life shooting factory of Hwu, the mountain village activity area of ​​the variety show Y team, the desert camping area, and countless scenic spots of all sizes, including mountains, forests, lakes, seas, and cities, that you have visited for shooting advertisements, magazines, and film and television dramas!

All the places she had visited in her previous life seemed to appear in this beast-controlling space, even the several ocean areas she passed by on the plane, the hotel she stayed at before her death, and the red carpet could not escape. They were replanned and reorganized according to cities, forests, lakes and seas by an unknown energy, and finally condensed into a magical space with the customs, environment and climate of various countries on the earth, and various different seasons!

Song Yu's throat was dry, and the atmosphere became stagnant for a moment.

Song Yu was almost scared to death by his awakened beast-taming space!

In the original novel, the SSSS-level Beast Taming Sphere is one of the protagonist's three greatest treasures! This massive 35,000 square kilometers, comparable in size to Hainan Island, allows contracted beasts to achieve a hundredfold increase in training speed, allowing them to strike down enemies and villains at rocket-like speed.

But now she...

Song Yu's eyes were blank and her brain was a little confused. The beast-controlling space she awakened was actually about half the size of Dragon Kingdom.

A full 4.685 million square kilometers!

The speed of cultivation has even reached a super acceleration of 1:444 days!

"444's contract number, 444's space cultivation speed... It's over. This can't be a plot kill in the novel. He has to find a chance to kill me? Where is the F-level beast-taming space that we promised? How can he stab me in the back again?" Song Yu wore a mask of pain.

If someone else possessed such a powerful beast-taming space, they would surely be filled with joy.

But Song Yu is different. As a time traveler, she has read the plot of the original book and knows that no matter how powerful the villain is, he is still just a villain after all.

Even if the villain is stronger than the hero in the early stage and has a higher talent than the hero.

However, under the influence of the plot, the other party always compares their own shortcomings with the hero's strengths, and finally becomes a tragic stepping stone. Or the novel plot always imposes various conditions and shackles on these villains, making it impossible for them to fight against the protagonist and ultimately suffer a miserable defeat.

To give the simplest example: in many alchemy novels, the male protagonist is only a third-level alchemist, and when he competes with a fourth-level alchemist, it is obvious that the male protagonist will lose. However, the topic drawn in the competition happens to be a secret recipe for medicine that the male protagonist has made before. For some reason, the fourth-level alchemist has never come into contact with this kind of secret recipe, and in the end he is defeated miserably by the protagonist.

Song Yu discovered that this was his current situation.

After the super-large beast-taming space awakened, a new talent suddenly emerged in her mind - 'peak acting skills'.

Peak acting skills: Peak acting skills, you can play any role well, your acting skills are improved by 300%, even the god-level beasts can't see through your disguise.

Song Yu: “…”

As for her acting skills...if she had possessed them in her previous life, she felt she would be unworthy of the 300% acting bonus if she didn't strive for five Oscars. But as a newcomer to the world of high-level martial arts, even with her best acting skills, a single punch from the male lead would have her on her knees weeping.

Hey~

Song Yu sighed, she just said...

As a villain, even if he possesses the world's top beast-taming space and a super training speed of 444 times, he cannot stop the male protagonist who has the skill of "Level Shackle Breakthrough" that can assist the contracted beast to break through the level barrier shackles.

The Beast Taming Space had just awakened, so wouldn't it immediately put a layer of conditional shackles on her?

What’s the point of practicing quickly?

A strange beast like the Snow Cat can only break through to the third level at most.

"What's wrong? She looks so bad... Could it be that the contract failed?" The girl holding the number 445 and her friend standing aside whispered with sympathy on their faces. They heard it clearly from the side that the girl in front of them had awakened an F-level beast-taming space.

The F-class space is of low level, so failure is normal.

But thinking about her own D-level Beast Taming Space, which wasn't much better than the other person's, the girl sighed softly to her friend and said, "Forget it, I don't think I can succeed in one go... What do you think? If I awaken the legendary SSSS-level Beast Taming Space with a hundred times the training speed, can I cultivate a top-level ninth-level exotic beast?"

"Sister, calm down!"

The man glanced at the girl and grumbled, "What's the point of having an SSSSS-level Beast Taming Space? If your contracted beast doesn't have good talent, an SSSSS-level Beast Taming Space is useless... There are so many Beast Tamers with poor talent in the world who defeat those with high talent in competitions. If you had taken a closer look, you wouldn't have said such outrageous things."

Song Yu looked at the other party, his eyes full of approval.

That’s right, isn’t it?

The advanced beast-taming space can only mean that his lower limit in the future will not be too low, but it cannot guarantee his upper limit in the future, or how high it can reach.

Hard work, opportunity, natural talent, and the potential of exotic beasts... all of these are indispensable on this thorny path to becoming a professional beastmaster.

"How is it? Are you feeling a little dizzy after the failure? It's okay, you take a two-minute break and we'll start the next round of contracts..." Seeing the sad expression on Song Yu's face, the professional beastmaster simply said a few words of comfort.

F-level Beast Taming Spaces were like this. It was particularly easy to fail when contracting with exotic beasts. On average, every F-level Beast Taming Space owner had experienced four or five failures. The professional Beast Tamer's eyes flashed with sympathy. He glanced at Song Yu and encouraged him again, "Your contracted beast is still waiting for you! You have to keep working hard!"

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu looked at Qiuqiu and said weakly: "Okay, teacher."

If Song Yu hadn't regretted it now and was afraid of being beaten, she would have rushed back to the northwest area to see if she could find a monster with a potential score of 0 for herself.

Holding the ball, the contract was successfully signed in less than a minute. In order to make himself look less abrupt, Song Yu waited for another three minutes.

Song Yu turned around and was about to leave, but happened to run into Bai Yuhan with a serious expression.

The other person's eyes were deep, as if they swept across her face inadvertently, but instantly made Song Yu, who was already vigilant, tense up.

Song Yu was alert: ...? ?

Why was this person looking at her? Did the Eye of Rules discover something?

But on second thought, Song Yu felt that he was seeing things.

"It's written in the novel that the other party's eyes can only read the data of exotic beasts. But Qiuqiu is just an ordinary low-potential kitten, so he will definitely not be noticed..."

"Sure enough, am I thinking too much?"

Seeing that Bai Yuhan had turned around and left, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief and also walked towards the exit with the cat in his arms.

But what Song Yu didn't know was.

After she turned around, Bai Yuhan looked back at her deeply again...
