The Song Family Villa Restaurant is located on the first floor.
The transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows extend outward, just enough to see the hazy moonlight outside.
In the lush summer outdoor garden, the moonlight slants down like silver frost on the branches among the flowers.
Light and floating fireflies dance up and down in the moonlit garden.
Their tails are a light fluorescent green with hints of hazy blue, like the bright Milky Way in the starry sky, or like the sweetest dream of a girl in the deep and dense forest.
However……
This tiny insect, which is only 0.8 cm in size as an adult on Earth, is as long as an adult's forearm in this world!
The yellow-brown carapace with bright orange color is much harder than steel plates, and even large-caliber sniper rifles cannot penetrate it. Although the fluorescence at the tail is not strong and has a hazy beauty, each one is as big as a light bulb.
"Buzz~~Buzz~~"
They flap their wings and accurately prey on various pests in the garden.
Song Yu's eyelids twitched wildly: "..."
Even though she had read the novel before.
I know that this is a world of beast control that is a fusion of modern Blue Star and alien space cracks, with ordinary animals and plants and exotic beasts and plants.
But seeing such a large, alien-like firefly for the first time was enough to shatter her original worldview.
“Huh~”
The fourth-order primary Moonlight Flower Firefly contracted by Mr. Song flew in the air, spitting out a ball of fluorescent green gas.
The fluorescent green gas flew up into the sky like misty smoke, shattered with a bang, and then fell on the treetops like a rain of petals.
The flowers, plants and trees were nourished by the skills of insects and exotic beasts and became more vibrant. Even some flower buds that were wilted due to malnutrition became more beautiful and attractive at this moment.
“Clatter—”
In the garden filled with fluorescent light, the moonflower fireflies suddenly spread their wings and flew high into the sky. The hundreds of clones disappeared in an instant.
Only one oversized firefly was left, lying on a tall cherry tree, with fluorescent light flickering on its tail.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the restaurant, you can see the villa garden...
Song Yu's face was expressionless as he withdrew his somewhat distracted gaze.
Song Yu had no doubt that this oversized firefly, which was as long as an adult's arm and could clone itself, would make Old Man Song fall to the ground and cry and beg... Please, please don't die.
According to the novel setting.
As the minimum standard of a third-level alien beast, even if it is only a primary level, it can easily defeat hundreds of ordinary people armed with guns. A fourth-level one can even fight against airplanes and cannons.
Facing the gazes of the Song family members all around, think about the fate of the female supporting character Song Yu in the original plot of the novel and the average combat power of this world.
Song·Ordinary Man·Yu's mentality was a little broken: "..."
Fortunately, as the times change, readers' aesthetic tastes have changed.
The male protagonist Long Aotian, who used to kill the villain's family and have a large harem... has become a cold and indifferent person who likes to endure and does not take the initiative to provoke trouble.
Especially this male-oriented beast-taming revenge novel with the protagonist Bai Yuhan.
He is also a serious and upright man who remains calm in the face of temptation. He allows beautiful women to throw themselves into his arms, but remains unmoved. In the end, he retires to the mountains with his pet.
If it weren't for the extra chapter, the heroine Su Yuechan would have searched for more than ten years and finally became the hero's neighbor, and the whole book would have had an open ending.
For a cold-blooded hard-working person like this who spends every day either training or challenging enemies to improve himself, there is a high probability that he will only be able to be accompanied by his pet in this life.
Song Yu's eyes rolled around, and he already had some idea in his mind.
As long as she is useless enough, there is absolutely no way she can have any contact with the male protagonist of The Proud Son of Heaven!
"As the saying goes, success depends on the beastmaster, and failure also depends on the beastmaster. As long as I don't become a beastmaster in the beastmaster novel, the plot can't kill me!"
"As long as I'm useless enough, the male protagonist of a male-oriented novel won't lower himself to beat me. A woman who can survive until the end is a YYD!"
now.
In this world where everyone is eager to try, like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and their life goal is to become a beastmaster.
Song Yu just wanted to shout out loud - Beastmaster, you are not even worthy of being a dog!
Even without the plot of the novel, don't these people see how high the casualty rate is among beastmasters every year?!
——Killed by strange beasts in wild battles.
——Forcibly contracted a super-powerful beast, but was attacked back.
——He was beaten to a disability during the battle.
——Sudden death due to high liver index...
Song Yu thought about it and could easily count out hundreds of them.
Programmers cried when they saw it, coal miners were silent when they saw it, and Mario shouted that he was a fellow comrade.
The key is, in my previous life, the entertainment industry only had tens of millions of people, but in this life, Blue Planet is a hundred times larger than Earth, with a population of 80 billion! And everyone wants to be a Beast Tamer!
The degree of internal competition is hundreds or thousands of times higher than that of the entertainment industry!
In addition, the talent of this body is not very good, and it is also killed by the plot.
If she becomes a beast tamer, wouldn't that be like an old centenarian eating □□ - thinking her life is too long?
If you can't beat them, give up.
Song Yu, who had just experienced the pain of death ten minutes ago, did not hesitate at all this time.
More than 20 years of working as a live-in mother in the entertainment industry has allowed her to see the scenery from a high place and the prosperity of the world.
All she wants in her life is to have a healthy body, eat and drink every day, make some money, be a salted fish, and live happily.
…
Song Yu sat there thinking about something, his face gradually changing from expressionless to empty.
To the other members of the Song family in the restaurant, this look was like she had been severely shocked after hearing what Old Man Song said, and was in a daze for a long time.
Some of the Song family members had flickering eyes, some looked at each other, and some frowned in worry.
But without exception, everyone's eyes were on Song Yu at this time.
The restaurant was completely silent.
The atmosphere is subtle and tense!
Sitting across from the round table, the slightly plump second aunt of the Song family, Qian Hui, was the first to become restless when she saw that no one had spoken.
Qian Hui shifted her hips and said, "Xiao Yu... in three days it will be the annual national first-time exotic beast distribution day. Every high school senior who is eighteen years old or older can choose their favorite exotic beast on that day."
"According to the family's rules from previous years, upon reaching adulthood, the Song family's children can all purchase a spiritual fruit or elixir worth less than one million yuan from the public treasury to use in contracting a high-caliber initial exotic beast..."
"But that fourth-grade intermediate wood crystal fruit costs nearly seven million, far more than ordinary spiritual fruits..."
Qian Hui said earnestly, "We all verbally agreed to let you have the Crystal Fruit... First, we trusted your talent and believed your Companion Beast Taming Space could at least reach A or B level. Second, we believed what you said about your mutual affinity with the Zhou family's young master. As the heir of a major corporate family in a first-tier city, his girlfriend's contracted beast naturally had to be of high caliber."
"Alas, the Beast Taming Space you awakened a few days ago... was the lowest level, F-grade." Qian Hui feigned regret, shook her head and sighed, but a shrewd look flashed in her eyes. "Plus, Young Master Zhou broke up with you yesterday, so this fourth-grade spiritual fruit is a bit inappropriate."
As Qian Hui spoke, she stretched out her foot under the table and stepped on her husband's instep, signaling him to quickly respond.
"That's right, that's right..."
Song Wenshan received the signal and nodded in agreement, "Xiao Yu, your second aunt is right. The F-level beast control space is only 10 square meters, and it's completely dark. Let alone increasing the evolution speed of the alien beasts, healing the alien beasts, and making them comfortable, even a slightly larger second-level insect alien beast can't fit in it."
The Beast Taming Space is a special space that everyone on Blue Star will awaken at the age of eighteen.
It is a place specifically for contracted beasts to live, rest, heal and practice.
Spaces are large and small, and some have evolved into various environments and different properties.
But without exception, every beast-controlling space is a small world!
The higher the completeness of the small world and the larger its area, the richer the original energy contained in the beast-taming space, and the more attractive and beneficial it is to the contracted beast!
Because alien beasts are different from humans, their childhood is extremely long.
If the level of the contractor's beast-taming space is too low to accelerate the growth of the beast, then it is very likely that by the time the contractor has old age, the beast will still be a cub.
The F-level beast-taming space is the lowest level among all beast-taming spaces.
The space is like a closed black hole, silent and without any movement, and has very little energy, which is even slower than the cultivation speed in the outside world. If a newborn alien beast cub lives in it after making a contract, it will probably go crazy in no time!
Therefore, if an F-level contractor wants to become a professional beastmaster, the natural treasures and elixirs he needs are enough to produce a dozen or even dozens of children with slightly stronger beastmaster talents.
"Although our Song family is quite wealthy in Jianghuai City, we can't waste it like this."
Song Wenshan and Qian Hui exchanged glances, then exchanged glances again. They earnestly advised, "Only by selecting the most talented children in the family and focusing on their cultivation can we bring the greatest benefits to the family..."
In fact, don’t be fooled by what the couple said so righteously.
In fact, there are two senior high school students in the Song family this year.
One is Song Yu, and the other is Song Yaqian, the little daughter of Song Wenshan and his wife.
Song Yaqian has a good talent and has awakened a B-level beast-taming space. The space is not only a jungle with lush trees, which is quite suitable for wood-type beasts to live there... but also has an area of about fifteen or sixteen football fields. It can contract multiple beasts and allow the contracted beasts to practice at ten times the speed in the space.
Song Wenshan and Qian Hui chattered away, becoming increasingly excited, as if the Wood-type Spirit Fruit and high-caliber exotic beast were right before their eyes...
But at this time.
“Huahua~~”
A burst of rich and delicious chicken soup, accompanied by the sound of swallowing.
Suddenly, it reached the ears of the two people...
Song Wenshan and Qian Hui were stunned: "......?"
He subconsciously turned his head and looked to the left where the sound came from, and the others at the table also looked over.
I saw Song Yu, who was dazed and had blank eyes.
At this moment, he lowered his head expressionlessly, holding a white porcelain spoon and drinking the chicken soup in the small bowl mouthful by mouthful...
Song Yu: "Wow~~"
Song Wenshan, Qian Hui: “???”
Song Yu: "Wow~Wow~~"
Song Wenshan, Qian Hui: “???”
Other members of the Song family: “????”
The couple's eyelids twitched, and even their usually smart brains froze for a moment.
Others also looked at Song Yu in surprise.
Song Wenhai's father and mother, who were from the third branch, were the first to react. Song Wenhai looked quite embarrassed and quickly turned to look at Old Man Song who was sitting at the top.
Song Wenhai said with a face full of embarrassment: "Dad, Xiao Yu didn't mean it. She's just been in a bad mood because of the series of setbacks recently..."
Zhou Fangmei explained dryly, "Yes, Dad! You know, ever since Xiaoyu's birthday a few days ago, I've awakened my Beast Taming Space and have been feeling depressed. That night, I fell into a coma with a high fever, reaching over 42°C at one point, and I haven't fully recovered yet..."
As Zhou Fangmei spoke, she patted her daughter's arm as a gesture.
Didn’t you see that the old man, the old lady and the others looked at her with some dissatisfaction?
At the Song family.
Mr. Song, who owns a level 4 contracted beast and started from scratch, is usually very majestic.
Even though he is old and his temper has become a little better than when he was young, Mr. Song is still a huge obstacle for the Song family.
Not to mention that when he asked the younger generation, the younger generation would eat without answering. Even in the past at the dinner table, it was always Old Master Song who would pick up his chopsticks first before others dared to start eating!
Song Wenhai and Zhou Fangmei were both very worried, fearing that the old man would slap the table and fly into a rage.
"Okay...you two don't have to explain to me."
Old Master Song waved his hand, not getting angry. He just looked at Song Yu with a serious expression and said, "Once a word is spoken, it can be taken away. Grandpa is not an unreasonable person. I promised you the crystal fruit. If you don't want it, I will still give it to you in a few days."
"But Jianghuai City is a third-tier city in Jiangnan Province, and fourth-grade spiritual fruits are hard to come by. Even though our Song family has quite a lot of assets in Jianghuai City, it's not easy to buy a fourth-grade spiritual fruit."
Old Master Song frowned, his gaze as if real, slowly moving away from Song Yu and sweeping over everyone present.
His voice was low, but loud enough to reach everyone's ears: "However, as a whole, I hope everyone in the Song family can put the overall situation first... Only then can the Song family last long!"
Mr. Song said this not only to Song Yu, but also to everyone present.
It was as if he was awakened by his mother's push, and it was as if he was touched by the "family justice" mentioned by Mr. Song and Qian Hui and others.
Song Yu, who was drinking soup just now, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned red!
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with endless sorrow and sadness.
Her already porcelain-white cheeks were now even paler.
Crystal clear tears welled up in her red eyes, but the girl seemed particularly stubborn, trying hard not to let them fall...
"Um?"
Old Master Song was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that his granddaughter, who was strong in the past, would show such an expression at this moment.
But at this moment, the girl sitting opposite the table lowered her head again, as if she didn't want others to discover her weakness.
A few strands of soft bangs fell along Song Yu's pale cheeks, leaving shadows on her eyelids.
She bit her lips tightly, and her lips became paler...
Mr. Song's eyes softened once again, a rare moment.
"Why."
Mr. Song sighed.
After all, he is just a child, so it is normal for him to feel wronged and uncomfortable. Especially among the eight grandchildren in the family, Song Yu has always been the most hardworking one in recent years. He trains his physical fitness for at least two hours every day regardless of the weather. His biggest wish is to become a powerful beastmaster.
If the level of the beast-controlling space awakened by his granddaughter was not too low, he would not be willing to speak up and be the bad guy.
However.
Old Master Song didn't say anything, but Song Wenshan and Qian Hui were very anxious.
In the eyes of the couple, Song Yu was just pretending to be pitiful and deliberately not wanting to take out the spiritual fruit. The anxious couple didn't even care about the old man's former dignity.
Song Wenshan hurriedly said: "Dad! The crystal fruit can only be given to the most suitable person, which is the most beneficial choice for the family."
Qian Hui hurriedly followed, "Dad! What does a child like Xiao Yu know? It would be best if you directly decide who owns the spiritual fruit."
Song Wenshan and his wife almost raised their loudspeakers and shouted, "If you ask Song Yu this, she will definitely not agree to take out the crystal fruit!"
What does a child of this age know about family interests?
If such precious spiritual fruits are placed in front of people for selection, even a fool would know what to choose!
What's more, it was the niece who used to be so competitive! Song Yu, who never missed any opportunity!
The couple was so anxious that bubbles appeared on their lips, and their eyes were fixed on Mr. Song.
Old Master Song didn't say anything, his brows furrowed, and his gaze shifted from the couple to Song Yu again.
In fact, he had already made up his mind long before Mr. Song asked.
According to Song Yu's previous attitude of trying every possible means to become a professional beastmaster, the probability that his granddaughter would choose to take the spiritual fruit is very high.
But when this matter was brought up, Mr. Song felt a different and complicated feeling in his heart.
After all, as the head of the family, he hopes to see that all family members put the family first.
But at this moment.
Song Yu, who had originally lowered his head slightly, slowly raised his head.
Her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, with a transparent and fragile fragility. Even her pupils, as distinctly black and white as stars, seemed to carry a strong sense of sadness. Crystal clear tears slowly slid down from her reddened eyes, beautiful as a fragile painting.
Song Yu was clearly crying, but she tried to hold her head up, smiling as brightly as the sun as she spoke to everyone, "Okay, I think Grandpa is right, and so are Second Uncle and Second Aunt... The Song family is a whole, and the Crystal Fruit should be given to someone more suitable."
Mr. Song: “!”
Song Wenshan and his wife: “??!!!!!!”
