It's a routine, cool novel for men.
Bai Yuhan's life basically revolves around two things - revenge and improving his strength.
I won’t say much about the former, those who understand will understand.
As for the latter to improve their strength, they naturally have to start from three aspects: money, treasures, and high-quality exotic beasts.
Just like the dead elementary school student who appears in murder cases wherever he goes, as long as there are good things, Bai Yuhan will be there.
This is not only the result of the clever plot design of the original book, but also Bai Yuhan's own pursuit of power, a breakthrough as soon as possible, and revenge.
In addition, breeding a contracted beast is too expensive, and Bai Yuhan has no money.
And what he cultivated was the gold-devouring giant beast - the dragon clan.
Therefore, even if it is just meat, even if it is the size of a toothpick, Bai Yuhan will not give up as long as he can get it.
Even in the middle and late stages of the novel, the hero Bai Yuhan is still a sophisticated pauper.
He either stuffed expensive treasures into his contracted beasts or traded them with others for treasures suitable for his contracted beasts. The man who appeared glamorous and powerful on the surface, but whose bank account was dwindling with poverty... that was him.
"So I remember... Bai Yuhan would always participate in any competition with a decent reward."
"In order to maintain a low profile and avoid attracting attention, he even pretended to be exhausted in every match, with a 50-50 chance, or perhaps feigned good luck, only to finally take first place..."
"This has aroused the suspicion of some people with ulterior motives, leading to numerous incidents. In one case, the enemy even used this as an excuse to set a trap..."
However, as Bai Yuhan is the male protagonist, those things are naturally like throwing meat buns at a dog, and they will never come back.
Song Yu stared blankly at Bai Yuhan, who had already raised his hands in defeat, feeling bewildered and dejected. "I clearly remember from the book that Bai Yuhan won first place in this school competition..."
You know, the school sent out the notice for this competition early on.
Any student who ranks first in the grade will receive a 200,000 yuan school subsidy every month for training in the wilderness area in the next few months, which can be used to purchase various supplies to improve their strength.
"So why is it like this?"
Song Yu was filled with grief as he watched helplessly as the cooked duck flew away.
Even though the last game could have been won with 0 points, it became a bonus point.
Song Yu looked at Zhou Ting, who was congratulating her with excitement, with a blank face, and began to wonder... Was it because the novel world discovered her secret of wanting to give up and be a useless fish and not follow the plot, and had to push her into the plot to kill her?
"Otherwise, how could such an outrageous thing happen?"
"You know, I'm the supporting actress who broke off the engagement! How could the male protagonist possibly lose to a supporting actress who broke off the engagement? And even admit defeat on his own initiative?"
"This must be the world's malice!"
…
The girl's burning and resentful gaze was fixed on the back of her head.
Bai Yuhan, who has sensitive five senses, almost suspected that if sight had temperature, smoke would be coming out of the back of his head by now.
Bai Yuhan narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to smooth his hair, which had grown slightly longer due to recent busy training.
The cold white fingers had distinct joints, and the inky black hair contrasted sharply with the cold complexion, which was a bit dazzling under the strong indoor lighting.
Bai Yuhan paused, calmly put down his left hand, and walked slowly to the bottom of the ring.
"Eh? I didn't expect you to admit defeat in this match..."
Seeing his brother coming down, Han Zhou took the opportunity to put his arm around Bai Yuhan's shoulders and sighed with a hint of regret: "Oh, what a pity, you lost this game. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it into the top 10 in the grade this time and get the school subsidy."
Bai Yuhan nodded, walked out of the crowd, and said calmly, "Victory and defeat are common in the military. The battle between Wang Wu and I was very physically demanding."
"Oh, what a pity! I thought you could make a big splash with the school subsidy. After all, that's a lot of money, enough for you to train Xiao Hei during this period..."
Han Zhou patted Bai Yuhan's shoulder, rubbed his chin regretfully, and sighed, "Come to think of it, every time you encountered a competition involving cultivation resources, you were always very motivated and always had a burst of energy."
"I thought you'd be able to explode and defeat your opponent this time, just like in those street races..."
There is no money to go to gym competitions, competitive stadiums and other places with high fees.
Bai Yuhan and Han Zhou often hang out in street races, which include both physical battles and battles between contracted beasts. In addition to these, various small gambling games often take place in street races to spice up the lives of the onlookers.
However, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
"Hmm..." Bai Yuhan was stunned, his heart skipping a beat. He subconsciously recalled the times when he had been short of money and had bet on himself to win in street races...
He was obviously very careful every time he placed a bet, and he would wait for a while before placing another bet, but he didn't expect that it would still be remembered.
His gaze fixed on Han Zhou's face for a moment, Bai Yuhan calmly retracted it, then glanced at the long-haired girl in a high ponytail not far away. She had a blank expression on her face, her seaweed-like hair obscuring half her face, revealing only her fair profile and delicate chin, making her look even more unfathomable.
"If there's money to be made, I'm definitely motivated. You know my financial situation isn't very good."
Bai Yuhan remained calm, "But even if I try my best, some match results are still unchangeable. Wang Wu's strength is similar to mine, and we both gave it our all in that fight just now."
Bai Yuhan raised his eyelids and casually said, "...In the street races before, I only bet on myself to win when I had a win rate of at least 65%. It's normal to win some money."
In order to prevent match-fixing in street competitions, no contestant is allowed to bet on his opponent to win.
Therefore, he never thought about losing to his opponent at that time.
And it was really too difficult for him to pretend to fail with tears and snot.
But he can still be more low-key on the court.
At worst, I can wait until I get to the wilderness area and then work hard to earn back what the school gave me.
Bai Yuhan pursed his lips, thought to himself, slowly withdrew his gaze from Song Yu, lowered his eyes slightly, and had a new plan in his mind.
…
Song Yu would probably never know in her lifetime that the words she said to Qiuqiu that morning had made the male protagonist, who already liked to be a coward, even more cowardly. She drooped her head dejectedly like a potted plant that had been drained of water, and her head was about to grow mushrooms due to depression.
So, when the cultural test came in the evening...
Song Yu had given up hope. He supported his head with his left hand, held a pencil in his right hand, and scribbled on the answer sheet.
Fill in the blanks with random pictures...
Essay question, just talk nonsense.
certainly……
Even if she answered seriously, Song Yu carefully looked at the 36-page test paper which consisted of mixed questions from 7 subjects.
"Uh..." Song Yu wrinkled his nose.
Very good, if it doesn’t rely on the original owner’s memory of cultural subjects.
The number of questions she could actually answer was probably... one out of twenty.
After all, other students studied hard for 12 years in primary, middle and high school.
Isn't it funny that she, who has only been in the other world for 3 months, wants to defeat other opponents?
Song Yu silently put down the answer sheet in his hand.
She is not a genius with a photographic memory.
It would be a miracle for an ordinary person to beat others by relying on academic performance.
"My peak of knowledge was during my senior year of high school in my previous life..."
Song Yu paused for a moment. "I don't know what the required score is for the college entrance examination for students majoring in acting in this world. In my previous life, it seemed like the total score was 750, and the undergraduate score was 280?"
She remembered that in her previous life, which was the last month of the college entrance examination, her tutor helped her review well for a month and she passed the exam.
She has some memories of her original body in this life, and she has never thought about getting into the best key university. She probably just needs to wait until the next semester to take the art exam and do some simple review.
The crisis is over...
Song Yu's whole body relaxed and he fell limply on the table, like a little seal lying on the ground.
Following the order from the invigilator on the stage, the answer sheets and test papers were collected one by one.
An invigilator stuffed the answer sheets into the computer scanner one by one.
Another test paper with questions and answers was sent to the office downstairs by another invigilator for centralized marking and registration.
The entire marking process was very fast. It only took less than half an hour for everyone's scores to be transferred to the computer and printed out.
As expected...
Song Yu looked down at the report card in his hand, tears of regret silently shed in his heart.
Class ranking—NO: 28, Song Yu, total score: 227 points.
…
Class ranking—NO: 56, Zhou Xiaoming, total score: 187 points.
Woo woo woo, only 40 points, only 40 points!
If Teacher Zhang had given her a chance to take the exam in the first round, and she had been shameless enough to lie on the ground and admit defeat in the second round, she would have been able to sit comfortably in the classroom and continue to daydream next week!
Lose your dreams and become a salted fish.
Song Yu's eyes were empty, and even the plum candy in his mouth tasted dull.
She just felt so tired, as if the future ahead was already filled with endless troubles.
The more than 20 students who failed the exam looked at the top 55 students with envy.
Among them, some of them would look at Song Yu with resentful eyes from time to time, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Song Yu: “…”
On the podium, head teacher Zhou Tao happily reminded the top 55 students in the class of the things to pay attention to when they go to the wilderness area for practical training next week.
Zhou Tao shouted, "We're heading to the wilderness area next Monday. The first time, the school will lead the team to the Qingshan Wilderness Area near Jianghuai City, which has the lowest danger level. But before going to the wilderness area, I suggest that students whose contracted beasts are lower than level 2 and who are not strong enough, gather a group of 10 in advance within the next two days!"
"Otherwise, if you want to enter the wilderness area alone, you can only go to a rental shop and rent a vehicle, which is quite expensive."
"The contracted beasts in the rental shop are bound by the laws of the Beast Taming Space because they are away from the contractor for a long time. They need to return to the rental shop once every seven days, which is very troublesome."
"So I personally suggest that you form a team with multiple people, whether it's with classmates from our class or students from other classes next door... This will also help you better train your survival skills in the wilderness."
"But whether it's renting a contracted beast or forming a team, you need to go back and discuss this with your parents, and sign a life and death guarantee before you go... and give it to me next Monday."
Zhou Tao shook the two blank papers in his hand, picked one out and continued, "Also, there are some outdoor supplies mentioned on this form. Try to equip them, but it's not mandatory. They're just some small suggestions from the school. Take it back and take a look."
Song Yu lay listlessly on his desk, gazing dimly at the "Notice on Wilderness Area Training for the 349th Grade 3 Students of Jianghuai No. 1 Middle School" and the densely packed shopping list passed down from the front row...
Backpack, sleeping bag, matches, Mitsubishi dagger, fish hook and fishing line, compass, small medicine first aid kit...
Song Yu carefully flipped through the shopping list that took up half a page, looked at the various wilderness survival equipment that he had never used before, and then looked at the life and death guarantee letter called a notice, his expression wilted.
OK, OK...
Since she can't escape the fate of going to the wilderness, let her stay there.
Life is so hard!
Song Yu sighed and drank a bottle of Coke sadly.
Hiccup
However, no matter what she said this time, she had to carefully write a 'Wilderness Survival Plan'.
Nothing can go wrong like it has these days.
You know, in the book, the original owner was killed during her first training in the wilderness area. She didn't dare to joke with her own life at all.
"After all, even salted fish need to be alive...if they die, they can only become ashes."
Song Yu sighed. After returning home, she briefly told her parents that she would be going to the wilderness area for training the following Monday. Then she stomped upstairs and locked herself in her room. She turned on her computer and read posts about the Qingshan Wilderness Area in Jianghuai City and what preparations were best to make before heading there.
There are endless posts on the Internet about wilderness areas across the country, and there are even professional official wilderness area forums.
The official forum is divided into different regional sections according to provinces and cities across the country.
When Song Yu opened the wilderness area forum, the forum homepage also pinned the newly emerged wilderness areas around the world this year to alert everyone.
"Search directly, Jiangnan Province, Jianghuai City, Qingshan Wilderness Area..."
Song Yu pressed the Enter key, and soon a large amount of information appeared on the forum page.
——I would like to ask, what should a novice pay attention to when visiting Qingshan Wilderness Area for the first time?
What kind of strange animal is this? This is a photo I took last time in the Qingshan Wilderness Area.
——Newbies heading to the Qingshan Wilderness Area should pay attention to the key points.
…
After finding a few posts he needed, Song Yu clicked on them, took out a small notebook, resigned himself to his fate, and wrote down the relevant key points he needed.
Among them, "Important points for newcomers traveling to Qingshan District" is the key recording object of the notebook.
"Everyone knows that the current wilderness area was once the Rift Secret Realm. However, due to the fusion of the spatial rift and Blue Star, a new regional plate was formed. The Qingshan Wilderness Area is the Qingshan Secret Realm three hundred years ago!"
"The Qingshan Secret Realm's original danger rating was only one star. Therefore, after the Qingshan Secret Realm merged with Blue Star, it was quickly conquered by the beastmasters of Jianghuai City. It has now become the preferred choice for Jianghuai City's high school seniors' first wilderness combat training each year!"
"However, eighty years ago, the two-star Qingyu Secret Realm next to the Qingshan Wilderness Area also merged with the Blue Star, causing the boundary between the Qingshan Wilderness Area and the Qingyu Wilderness Area to merge."
"So the first thing high school seniors should do when entering the Qingshan Wilderness Area is to be careful—don't go too far into the northwest area!!! Don't go too far into the northwest area!!"
The words "Don't go deep into the northwest region" were highlighted in bright red by the poster, along with multiple red exclamation marks! Song Yu looked at the map the poster had given him and quickly drew a simplified version in his own notebook, reverently marking it with a red circle and a large cross.
Very good, wait until she enters the Green Mountain Wilderness Area.
First of all, you must stay away from the northwest area and never go to the northwest area!
I always take a detour when I see rats coming out of the northwest district!
Song Yu moved the mouse downwards and carefully recorded the following information again.
"The instincts of the exotic beasts and the different living environments of each wilderness area automatically constrain them, making them rarely leave their area on their own initiative. However, there are occasional exceptions every year, so newbies shouldn't be too reckless in approaching! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you'll most likely end up delivering food to the exotic beasts in the wilderness area!"
"The second point is that you must learn to make your own fire and cook! It doesn't matter whether the food tastes bad or not, the important thing is to cook it yourself! For parasite treatment in the wild, ordinary healing beasts in the hospital can't help. The healing beasts in the hospital can only help you treat external injuries. Once a parasitic infection occurs, you high school seniors will most likely waste half a month to a month of training time in the hospital. This will directly cause the training volume of those who are in the same period to surpass you, affecting your subsequent university applications!"
"Every year, there are dozens of unlucky people who fall victim to the virus in the Qingshan Wilderness Area. I just hope that those of you who have read this post will not fall victim to it!"
"Huh? Parasitic infection?" Song Yu's eyes lit up. How about...she should try it later?
But what are the symptoms of parasitic infection?
She had never played a patient with a parasitic infection before!
It is undeniable that after reading this note, Song Yu's heart was immediately moved, and he quickly wrote down the content he wanted to check in his little notebook.
She quickly continued to scroll down the poster's post...
"Besides parasites, the third point to keep in mind for daily life in the wilderness area... 1. Because the wilderness area was once a secret realm, even after the secret realm and Blue Star merged into one land, some of the secret realm's characteristics were retained. Therefore, the temperature in the Qingshan Wilderness area is currently slightly lower than that in Jianghuai City. Before entering, everyone should either bring warm clothing in advance or purchase it directly at the supply base next to the Qingshan Wilderness area! This will avoid wasting training time by returning to the supply base after entering the wilderness area!"
"2. Familiarize yourself with the illustrated guide to common medicinal herbs and minerals in the Green Mountain Wilderness Area. You might find a surprise!"
"3. Due to magnetic field issues, you can't use any mobile phones or other common communication devices in the wilderness area. Therefore, before entering the wilderness area, you need to rent a powerful communication bracelet from the official at the supply base! To avoid losing contact in the wilderness area!"
"4. Since the highest level of exotic beasts in a one-star secret realm is usually level 2, it is best for beginners to rent a level 2 high-level contract beast, and at least a level 2 intermediate! Try not to rent a low-level level 2 contract beast just to save money! Otherwise, you may end up in trouble!..."
As Song Yu read on bit by bit, she gradually relaxed from being nervous at first.
"So, as long as the Qingshan Wilderness Area isn't close to the northwest area, the highest level of exotic beasts is Advanced Level 2?"
"So, as long as we don't encounter a powerful contractor, a Level 3 ball can roam freely in the Green Mountain Wilderness Area?"
Song Yu's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth turned up. This was truly the end of the road, but there was always a way out!
"Although it's not easy to find food in the wilderness, I can just buy instant food!"
Song Yu shook off his droopy and hunched sitting posture, raised his head and chest out again, and became excited.
"As long as I don't come into contact with the male protagonist, Bai Yuhan, avoid that second-grade spiritual fruit, and find the safest area to live in, can that also be considered a simple forest trip? A forest vacation?"
Very good, very good, very good!
Although she was an actress in her previous life and was busy every day and almost never cooked, she still knew how to boil water.
When the time comes, just buy some cooked food and some simple seasoning packets, and then find a safe place to stay for a while!
Absolutely perfect!
"Hmm... I guess I'll need to bring a solar charger for my phone during this time..."
This way, when she is bored, she can also watch the TV series and novels stored in her mobile phone.
Carefully writing down key information such as "solar charger" and "mobile phone" in the notebook, Song Yu smiled and continued to flip through the pages...
It is impossible for her to become a beast tamer. Even if she lies down in the wilderness and sleeps this time, she will not become a beast tamer. So she just needs to endure these few months, and she will be a brave man again next year!
