Chapter 36 I Want to Be a Salted Fish



"The Senior 3 (5) classroom is upstairs." Song Yu blinked and pointed to the 5th floor.

This world has a large population, even though the planet is a hundred times the size of Earth, because large areas are oceans, wilderness and forests.

As a result, each city has a large population. This also means that in the senior year of No. 1 Middle School, there are sixty or seventy classes per grade. It's not uncommon for some people to get lost while walking. Song Yu didn't think too much of it, simply assuming the thin old man in front of him was the grandfather of a classmate and casually pointed him in the right direction.

Unexpectedly, she went to the toilet and when she came back she found that the skinny old man was talking to Zhou Tao.

The old man stood at the door of Class 5 without saying a word, but Zhou Tao nodded and smiled. This immediately attracted many students to look at the two of them with curious eyes.

But Zhou Tao spoke in a low voice. Furthermore, with class approaching, the students bustling back and forth were extremely noisy. Therefore, most people couldn't hear what the two were talking about. Song Yu, standing in the hallway, casually glanced at the two, then instinctively rushed into the classroom through the back door, backpack on his back.

result.

Unexpectedly, she had just stepped into the back door with her left foot and hadn't even lifted her right foot when Zhou Tao's voice rang out behind her.

"Song Yu!" Zhou Tao said loudly, "Song Yu, come here! Come with us to the office!"

Zhou Tao waved and shouted, an excited smile on his face. After he finished shouting, Zhou Tao even winked at Song Yu, signaling him to look at the skinny old man next to him.

Song Yu: “……?”

Song Yu was completely confused and bewildered. She carefully observed the skinny old man, thought seriously about her memories, and thought about the people she had met recently, and confirmed that she didn't know the other person at all.

Only then, with a look of confusion on his face, he followed Zhou Tao and the skinny old man into the office.

The senior high school teacher’s office is downstairs. The office is very large and there are many teachers working in it.

As soon as he entered the office, Song Yu smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, what can I do for you? Who is this?"

The girl's eyelashes fluttered lively, her fair and smooth cheeks and facial features were delicate and sweet, and she had a bright smile.

If she were to be put out there, I wouldn't say anyone would like her, but at least no one would hate her.

However, unexpectedly...

The skinny old man frowned as he looked at Song Yu. The word "unhappy" was visibly written on his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were almost enough to pinch a fly to death.

The old man's eyebrows knitted together, and he didn't introduce himself. Instead, he said sternly, "Release your original beast and let me see it."

Song Yu was puzzled: "???"

Zhou Tao was a little embarrassed and quickly explained to Song Yu, "Song Yu, quickly let out your two-tailed snow spirit cat for Professor Sun to see. Professor Sun is one of the vice presidents of our city's Exotic Beast Research Institute and a Level 5 Exotic Beast researcher. He came here this morning specifically to see your initial Exotic Beast."

"Oh." Song Yu understood immediately with a disheartened look.

It turns out that the recommendation letter from the Exotic Beast Research Institute that Principal Wu mentioned more than a month ago has worked.

Alas, Song Yu sighed in his heart.

She had seen nothing happen for more than a month and thought that Principal Wu was just joking.

Unexpectedly, the Exotic Beast Research Institute was waiting for her there.

After releasing Qiuqiu from the space, Song Yu stroked her fur. Over the past month, Qiuqiu had grown twice as large. Even though her contracted feline beast was slender and agile, it still couldn't stop Qiuqiu from being taller than her when sitting on the ground. When the other party leaped out of the beast control space, the entire room seemed to tremble.

It really fits what netizens on Earth said about tigers back then - when you were a child, you thought it was cute, and now it thinks you are cute.

"It has a slender figure, oval pupils of light gold, and pure white hair without any other colors..." Old man Sun didn't care about the size of the ball, and didn't even care whether the ball would attack him. He directly started to check the ball's size, claws, tail, etc.

The movement and speed almost scared Qiuqiu!

However, before Qiuqiu could even glare and threaten, a huge figure suddenly appeared behind Old Man Sun!

The other creature was covered in fiery red fur, even more massive than Qiuqiu, its head touching the ceiling! It was a fire-type ape-like beast covered in densely packed scaly armor! Furthermore, the ape wielded a massive club woven from long golden vines!

Song Yu was startled and quickly comforted Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu was obviously frightened, with his hair standing on end!

In front of this ape-like beast, Qiuqiu looked as small as a toy...

At this moment, Song Yu finally understood why all the homeroom teachers' offices were located on the first floor, and why the rooms on the first floor were a full six meters high! This was simply a space for people to release their contracted beasts.

"Hmph! Researching low-level bloodline species is truly a waste of time. I really don't understand what's so great about studying these low-level exotic beasts whose highest bloodline is only level 3? Their first reaction upon seeing a high-level exotic beast isn't to calmly attack, but to erupt in fur... As expected, even a mutant can't escape the suppression wrought by its deep bloodline. It's simply not worth contracting or studying."

Old Man Sun withdrew his gaze from the ball, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Song Yu arrogantly. "Last month, our institute received a letter of recommendation from Principal Wu. He hopes that you can come to the institute for an internship in the coming period and strive for a good score in the college entrance examination next year... So you can report to the institute tomorrow."

Unlike candidates applying for the Beast Tamer program, students pursuing the Exotic Beast Research program don't need to take the Beast Tamer practical exam; they only need to meet the academic requirements to be admitted. If a student possesses an internship certificate from a local Exotic Beast Research Institute before the college entrance exam, they can be favored by prestigious universities or outstanding instructors during their university admissions process, laying the foundation for becoming an outstanding Exotic Beast Researcher!

Therefore, nearly every student who aspires to study exotic animal studies hopes to join the Exotic Animal Research Institute as an intern during their senior year! Earning a certificate of outstanding internship from the institute will give them a head start on campus and access to more relevant resources.

However……

From the beginning to the end, Song Yu never thought about becoming a researcher of exotic animals, let alone an internship at the Exotic Animal Research Institute. She just wanted to stay quietly in school and be an unknown person.

She had originally planned that if anyone from the research institute came to her, she would pretend to know nothing and make them give up on her. But this person despised Qiuqiu, which was too much...

Looking at Qiuqiu's tail and ears drooping down because of the other party's constant comments of "low-level bloodline race is a waste of time" and "not worthy of a contract at all", Song Yu frowned slightly and didn't want to act anymore.

Song Yu looked at Old Man Sun expressionlessly, "Professor Sun, I don't plan to become a researcher, nor have I ever thought about studying at the Exotic Beast Research Institute. I'm sorry to have you make this trip, but you can go back and continue researching other high-level bloodline contracted beasts."

"Although the Snow Cat's bloodline level is not high, from the moment I chose it and made a contract with it, it has been my partner, friend, and family... So I think contracted beasts cannot be simply divided by these eight crude words, 'bloodline level' and 'worth it'. Besides, even if the level of the ball is low, it is more than enough to beat a few humans..." Song Yu glanced at Old Man Sun, and it was almost written on his face.

—My cat is more than capable of beating you up! You'd better leave now! No one wants you here!

Anyway, she had never thought of becoming an exotic animal researcher, and she was not worried at all that she would not be able to go to the institute for an internship after offending the vice president of the exotic animal research institute.

She is about to become a worthless person, so why would she be afraid of an old man like you?

However……

As soon as Song Yu said this, the whole office fell silent!

The teachers from other classes around, as well as Zhou Tao and others were all stunned!

Who is the vice president of the Exotic Beast Research Institute?

This person is one of the top figures in Jianghuai City!

He is a man who will be given face by many people just by mentioning his name when he walks on the street!

Most importantly, is this student crazy? Does he not take his future seriously?

If she offended the vice president of a third-tier city's exotic animal research institute, all he had to do was make a phone call, and after the college entrance examination, which university with a specialty in exotic animal research institute would be willing to admit her?

You know, with an F-class useless beast-taming space and a low-level bloodline beast, becoming a researcher is the best future!

In this world, they have never heard of someone who awakened an F-level useless beast tamer space and was able to break through to the second-level professional beast tamer.

Generally speaking, for someone who has awakened an F-level beast taming space, it is already a huge surprise if he can become a first-level beast tamer in this lifetime.

Compared with a Level 2 professional beastmaster or a formal researcher at the Exotic Beast Research Institute, their social status will only be higher, and their income will also be considerable.

Don’t underestimate the Exotic Beast Research Institute, which is an independent institution dedicated to the research of exotic beasts.

But the other party has good cooperative relationships with the military, newspapers and magazines, media, schools, etc., and coupled with its high status, it is truly a good career that many people dream of.

But this job, which clearly promised him a guaranteed university and job, was rejected by the girl in front of him?!

How can this not be surprising?!

Being humiliated by Song Yu, Old Man Sun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You little girl, do you know what you are talking about? I ran all the way from the Chengbei District Research Institute to Jianghuai City No. 1 Middle School, and you let me go? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"Unless a large amount of resources are used to cultivate low-level bloodline beasts, they will never surpass high-quality bloodline beasts! But with so many resources, why not use them to cultivate high-level bloodline contract beasts directly?"

"A single 5th-tier contracted beast can handle tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of 1st-tier contracted beasts. What's the point of cultivating a contracted beast with a lower-level bloodline? It's nothing but a waste of resources, time, and energy!"

“As the saying goes: chickens and ducks travel in flocks, tigers and leopards travel alone!”

"My Fire Ape is only a Level 4 Intermediate, but facing a Level 2 Snow Cat mutant like you, it's enough to fight one against a hundred! Any skill of yours can burn this Snow Cat to ashes!" Old Man Sun put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly. He pointed at the Fire Ape behind him with a stern face: "So instead of spending time studying low-level bloodline beasts, it's better to spend time studying how to increase the success rate of contracts between humans and high-level bloodline beast cubs! And help research and develop the powerful skills of high-level bloodline contract beasts!"

Old man Sun's words were extremely impolite, but the combat power of the 4th-level intermediate fire ape was there, which really made many teachers who had contracted low-level bloodline beasts look a little embarrassed, but they also nodded and sighed in agreement.

To put it bluntly, this world is so cruel!

"..." Song Yu didn't say anything, but looked at Old Man Sun with his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

When Old Man Sun saw that Song Yu didn't say anything, he thought that the little girl in front of him had been tamed by him.

He was just about to hold his head high and chin up to say that it was too late to apologize even now...

But the girl opposite raised one hand and arrogantly grabbed her bangs behind her head.

Old man Sun was puzzled: "?"

"Tsk!" Song Yu pulled her hair back, revealing her smooth, full, white forehead and high nose bridge. With the arrogance of a villain, she raised her eyebrows and scoffed, "Professor Sun, you look like you've been working for at least forty or fifty years now, right? Have you found a way to increase the success rate of contracts between humans and high-level bloodlined exotic beast cubs?"

Song Yu continued to attack, deliberately curling her lips and saying, "I see that your Flame Ape is only a Level 4 Intermediate. It shouldn't be a high-level bloodline beast, right? It's probably an Intermediate at best, right?"

"You've been researching for forty or fifty years, and the only thing you've contracted is a mid-level bloodline beast. Is it appropriate for you to look down on low-level bloodline beasts? Furthermore, even if you were given another hundred years to develop a method that allowed everyone to contract high-level bloodline beasts, how many high-level bloodline contract beasts would there be in this world for everyone to contract?"

"High-level bloodline contracted beasts are not cabbages growing in the fields, and low-level bloodline contracted beasts are not dust in the fields! They are intelligent creatures just like us, capable of understanding language and communicating! Even the lowest-level 0-level beasts are enough to defeat an ordinary adult male!"

Song Yu put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "You look down on them, but I think they should look down on you!"

Old Man Sun: “??!!”

"hiss!--"

A teacher in the office gasped, and Zhou Tao was completely stunned! He looked like a petrified sculpture.

It was over, it was over. How could one of his students be so brave? Going against the Vice President of the Exotic Beast Research Institute was one thing, but he actually had the audacity to mock him? This was not the future he wanted!
