If you only had one month left to live, what would you choose to do?
If someone had asked this question three minutes ago, Lu Yuan would have definitely cursed them out and told them to get lost.
I'm only twenty years old, and I haven't even enjoyed the happy life of having women on both sides yet. How could I possibly be dying?
But at this moment, he began to seriously consider what unfulfilled wishes he still had.
There were just too many things he wanted to do but hadn't done yet, and he didn't know where to begin.
"Sigh! Everyone else who transmigrates has a cheat code and pushes through the entire game, but why do I end up dying right from the start?"
Lu Yuan scratched his hair in frustration.
Three minutes ago, he was playing games in his dorm room when he suddenly felt dizzy and opened his eyes to find himself sitting in a moving luxury car.
Looking at the completely unfamiliar surroundings, Lu Yuan, who was well-versed in various novels, immediately realized what was happening.
I've traveled through time!
To think that an ordinary college student like him could encounter such an absurd thing as time travel, and judging from the luxurious interior of the car and his understated yet sophisticated attire, he must be from a wealthy family!
But as unfamiliar memories flooded his mind, he realized that things were not as optimistic as he had thought.
In this world of beast taming, where the strong reign supreme and countless races coexist, the strong reign supreme.
As the son of the head of the Lu family, one of the four major families in the capital, Lu Yuan was expected to achieve great things from a young age.
And he did indeed demonstrate enough talent and ability, earning him the title of the number one genius in the capital!
The Lu family went to great lengths to cultivate Lu Yuan, showering him with all sorts of rare and precious resources, such as rare herbs and elixirs, as if they were free.
The entire Lu family was hoping that he would obtain advanced talent at the eighteenth birthday beast taming talent awakening ceremony, become a powerful beast tamer, and bring glory to the Lu family.
But just a month before the awakening ceremony, he suddenly fell seriously ill and almost met his end.
Fortunately, the Lu family patriarch found a renowned doctor to treat him, which barely saved his life, but he was told that he only had two years left to live.
Even if Lu Yuan showed exceptional talent, he couldn't possibly achieve remarkable success in such a short time.
Years of expectations and efforts have gone down the drain, and the entire Lu family feels extremely disappointed and even resentful towards Lu Yuan!
From that time onwards.
Lu Yuan's life became extremely difficult.
With the elders ignoring and tacitly approving of him, even the janitor sweeping the door could stomp on his head.
But Lu Yuan did not give up. He continued to cultivate every day, not only to survive, but also to prove himself!
However, due to that sudden serious illness, Lu Yuan's health was severely compromised, leaving him extremely weak.
He still hadn't awakened his beast-taming talent by his 20th birthday this year.
Those without the talent to tame beasts are essentially useless, let alone a prestigious family like the Lu family.
So, after a unanimous vote by the elders, he was assigned to Yunlei City to manage a branch of the Lu family's pet beast mall, Wan Shou Ge...
Although the clan leader tried his best to stop them, he was no match for the powerful elders who already wielded considerable influence.
Therefore, Lu Yuan was ordered to travel overnight, passing through many places, and finally arrived at Yunlei City.
At this moment, he was on his way to the Wanshouge branch.
After figuring all this out, Lu Yuan sighed.
"One month to go...?"
Now he only has one month left to live, and if he wants to survive, he can only try to completely improve his frail body.
The only chance is to find a pet beast with healing abilities to cleanse his marrow and essence.
However, pets with healing abilities are rare, and in the entire capital, only the young patriarch of the Tang family, one of the four great families, possesses one!
The four major families are engaged in open and covert struggles, and the Tang family has coveted the top position of the Lu family for many years. They can't wait for Lu Yuan to perish as soon as possible, so how could they possibly offer to save him?
It's a pity that such a talented person was killed off at such a young age.
I was thinking about it.
Uncle Fu, who was originally driving, got out of the car at some point and came to the back to open the car door for him.
"Young Master, we've arrived at the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion branch."
Lu Yuan got out of the car, looked at the dilapidated signboard in front of him, and his lips twitched slightly.
"Uncle Fu, are you sure we haven't gone to the wrong place?"
The Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts.
As the Lu family's largest and most profitable main industry, it spans the entire Ling'an Continent and can be considered the industry leader.
Lu Yuan originally thought that even if Yunlei City was remote, as a branch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, it should at least be magnificent and bustling with customers.
The shop in front of him was deserted, with a thick layer of dust on the signboard. If it weren't for the occasional gust of wind, Lu Yuan felt he wouldn't be able to see the three big characters "Wan Shou Ge" (Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion)!
“Young Master, Yunlei City is just a small county town in Luozhou. Our family will naturally not waste our efforts on such a small place.”
The Ling'an Continent is divided into nine provinces, each of which contains many cities, and then further subdivided into towns.
Yunlei City is located in Luozhou, which is close to the west and has the smallest area. Its economic development is also the most backward, and it is no exaggeration to call it a poor and remote place.
As Lu Yuan pushed open the door and entered the branch, he saw a young man sitting behind the counter playing on his phone.
Seeing them come in, he didn't even greet them, just waved casually.
"There are only three pets left in the shop, they are all displayed here, take a look and see which one you like."
"If there's no suitable one, go to the next one yourself."
Lu Yuan frowned.
No wonder the shop is deserted. With this kind of service, who would come here?
"I'm not here to buy a pet; I'm here from the Lu family in the capital to take over this store."
The other person was taken aback at first, looking puzzled. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he jumped up and smiled obsequiously at Lu Yuan.
"So it's Young Master Lu! I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly!"
"I am the owner of this shop, Wang Ye."
Lu Yuan wasn't buying it at all and walked to the front of the stage to sit down.
"Although Yunlei City is remote, resource-scarce, and has low per capita consumption, it is still a branch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion. My Lu family pays you a salary so you can slack off here?"
Lu Yuan's tone was low, his two sharp eyebrows raised sharply, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted that he was wronged.
"Young master, please calm down. The higher-ups haven't been providing funds to purchase goods, and I haven't been paid my salary for six months. I had no choice but to take on some part-time jobs to make ends meet!"
Over the past six months, people have been leaving one after another at the branch. If it weren't for needing a place to stay, he would have packed up and left long ago.
Who would have thought that headquarters would suddenly send a young master from their own family?
"So, young master, are you here to pay my salary?"
Lu Yuan: "..."
very good.
He is not only going to die, but he will also die burdened with debt.
He wasn't even given the chance to experience the pleasures of a life of debauchery before he died.
Suddenly.
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in Lu Yuan's mind.
[Host has acquired a pet shop. Mythical Beast Taming System is activating...]
