Chapter 46 I Want to Be a Salted Fish



In Song Yu's mind, being a beastmaster has always been a high-risk profession that even dogs wouldn't be suitable for!

After all, not only is the internal competition of 80 billion people too intense, but the physical training is also so strenuous! Ribs are often broken.

Not to mention, every year news about the deaths and injuries of beastmasters can be found everywhere in newspapers, magazines and web pages.

She remembered that some time ago, School Doctor Su had said in a physical education class that every year in Jianghuai City, thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people died in wilderness areas and secret places.

Although she has never seriously checked the number of people who die in wilderness areas and secret places in major cities every year.

But no matter how you look at it, the Beast Tamer profession shouldn't be an easy, easy job, right?!

Song Yu frowned, and her delicate facial features were almost squeezed into a ball.

"I was saying, you guys used to waste all your time on Zhou Wenchang!"

Song Qi observed Song Yu's expression and, without Song Yu asking any further questions, he smiled smugly and said, "...You're already in your third year of high school, and you can't even understand such a simple truth?

Song Yu choked, "..."

Unable to refute, she could only sit down obediently, staring at her adopted brother, waiting for him to continue.

Song Qi arrogantly tugged at his newly dyed red hair and raised his chin. "While newspapers and schools often report on the hardships and dangers of professional Beast Tamers, the focus of the newspapers is still on who has improved their social status after becoming a professional Beast Tamer, how much money someone has made in the wilderness, in the forest, or in the secret realm, and how someone has started a large company by becoming a professional Beast Tamer."

"As for what the school teachers often say, about the thousands of people who died in the wilderness and secret realms in Jianghuai City last year... that's even more ridiculous."

Song Qi raised his eyebrows, opened his hands, and gestured widely in front of his chest, "Our entire Jianghuai City has a population of over ten million. On average, eighty to ninety people die in accidents every day in the city, which means thirty to forty thousand people a year... The number of people who die in the wilderness secret realm is still less than the number of accidental deaths in the city!"

Song Qi: "There are so many dangerous professions in the world. Even people choke to death while drinking water! Is the profession of Beast Tamer not good? Talking about the number of deaths each year instead of talking about the percentage is just a hooligan!"

Song Yu: “…”

What should she do? She suddenly felt that what her younger brother said made a lot of sense.

It is indeed a bit unreasonable to only count the number of deaths without talking about the total number of people.

"...If he didn't have high expectations for himself, he wouldn't even need to train physically. He could just talk his contracted beast into battle..."

"Look at how fat our dad has become. Doesn't he make a ton of money every year after going to the wilderness?"

Song Qi glanced at Song Yu and said smugly, "Besides, the people who die in the secret realms and wilderness areas every year...are mostly those fools who rush into high-level areas recklessly, thinking they are powerful but actually lacking in ability, and those pioneers who head to the secret realms of new space rifts in order to compete for first-hand resources."

Let’s not talk about the former kind of fools.

For the latter, who immediately rushed to the secret realm of the new space crack to search for resources and hope to make a fortune, would it be acceptable without some risk?

After all, every undeveloped secret realm has more than ten times more resources than the developed secret realm when you first enter it!

"So, in short, as long as you don't encounter a beast tide, the dangers of a professional beastmaster aren't that exaggerated..."

"On the contrary, the benefits are far greater than other professions... Take the speed at which you make money, for example. Even robbing a bank can't compare to that. Otherwise, why would everyone want to become a professional Beast Tamer? We're not fools."

Song Qi touched his chin and concluded: "Sister, you can't always read negative news. You should read more positive news!"

Song Yu: “…”

…Okay, she understands.

The male protagonist Bai Yuhan is a dead high school student, dying wherever he goes...

That's why, from the perspective of a novel reader from the very beginning, she felt that the entire novel world was extremely cruel and the death rate of professional beastmasters was extremely high.

Song Yu felt a little heart-attacked for a moment, but he blamed himself more.

These days, besides watching movies and TV dramas, why doesn't she read more newspaper news?

Maybe if you read more newspaper news, you won't have so many prejudices against the profession of beastmaster.

but……

Song Yu had no expression on his face and stepped on Song Qi's instep.

"...Ah!!" Song Qi was attacked unexpectedly and screamed miserably: "Why are you stepping on me?!"

Song Yu glanced at Song Qi and shouted back, "I'm your sister. What's wrong with me stepping on you? How dare you say Dad is as fat as a ball?"

Song Wenhai was finally attracted by the noise and raised his head from the cumin ribs with difficulty. His eyes narrowed into thin lines on his chubby face.

Song Qi looked at Song Wenhai with a stiff face: "..."

Damn! Are you a woman who can't handle this? You can't even listen to the truth?!

Next second.

"Hey! Dad, stop hitting me, stop hitting me... I really didn't say you were as fat as a ball! That was all slandered by my sister!! I only said that you were so fat, but you could still go into the wilderness to make money... Ouch! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I was wrong, I was wrong! You are not fat, not fat~~" Song Qi covered his head and quickly dodged in the restaurant.

The Song family simply celebrated for Song Yu, and there were no other activities except a good meal.

After Song Yu finished dinner and returned to the room, she threw herself heavily on the bed and buried herself in the soft quilt.

Hey~

Song Yu sighed.

She had been thinking about it in the restaurant just now.

Intellectually speaking, she felt that what Song Qi said was right.

The Beast Tamer is like a leader who gives orders and speaks, while the contracted beast does all the fighting. They only need to assess their own strength, carry their own daily necessities and follow the contracted beast when entering the wilderness, forest and secret realm, and collect all kinds of valuable materials and treasures.

With more contracted beasts, they don’t even need to carry their own luggage. They can let several contracted beasts take turns to stand guard and carry them and the luggage together.

Physical training is more about preventing the beastmaster from dragging down the contracted beast and hindering it.

As for wanting the beastmaster to use his physical strength to defeat the strange beasts in other wilderness areas, that is something he can't even dream of!

But emotionally speaking, Song Yu felt that what her brother said was wrong.

After all, Song Qi's words were too cold and ruthless. Just like all contracted beasts are tools for humans to seek greater benefits, even if they are fed with all kinds of natural treasures, they are essentially an investment, an investment that hopes to get a greater return.

Song Yu thought about it carefully, whether it was in the novel or the people around him.

Except for Bai Yuhan, who became a seventh-level grandmaster beastmaster out of revenge, he is still a pauper with little money in his pocket.

Others...

Even if it was Mr. Song, Song Wenhai, Zhao Xingrong's family, Huang Jiayan's family...

Who hasn't built up such a huge fortune by becoming a professional beastmaster?

You know, before becoming a professional beastmaster, Mr. Song was just the son of an ordinary worker in Jianghuai City.

"Ah... why should I ponder such profound questions? I'm just a nobody!"

Song Yu covered his head and rolled around on the soft bed in sorrow...

The most important thing is that it's useless for her to think more now.

This world has been formed with thinking and cognition for thousands of years, and it is not something she can change alone.

And this… is like being on Earth in a previous life.

Some countries consider cows sacred and do not eat them.

However, some countries believe that beef is high in protein and low in fat, and is particularly healthy, so people want to eat it again and again.

Because of different social environments, historical cultures, and cultures, people will have different ideas.

So she has no right to ask others what to do.

"So... I'd better find another profession to slack off in... The profession of beastmaster is not suitable for me." Song Yu scratched her head. She planned to be a salted fish in this life anyway, so she might as well be herself.

"Alas, space-type monsters aren't suitable for me. I'll just have to carry the bag myself for the next three months..."

Song Yu rolled around on the bed again, his shoulders, which hadn't been carrying any weight, already ached slightly...

Alas~ Song Yu sighed again.

If she hadn't had this conversation with Song Qi today, she wouldn't have felt so deeply.

But after today's conversation, she felt that she would not be able to cross the threshold in her heart if she contracted a space-type monster again for her luggage.

Unless she has already regarded the other person as a friend and partner, and is determined to take responsibility to the end.

Monday always comes extra fast.

A group of students came to school happily, each carrying their luggage.

Among these students, some were alone, while others were accompanied by their parents who came to see them off.

There were nearly a hundred oversized buses parked on the spacious playground, each with a class number plate written on it.

Song Yu, carrying an oversized backpack weighing 28 kilograms, moved as slowly as a snail, yawning as she followed the crowd. She finally found Bus No. 5, but when she got on... she discovered that the entire bus was already full.

Everyone was in high spirits, as if they were not going to a wilderness forest, but a forest of flowers for sightseeing.

Some people saw Song Yu get on the car and greeted him.

"Ouch! Look at the dark circles under my eyes. I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep all night. How about you guys?"

"Hehehe, this time my team found 10 people, 3 of whom have Level 1 contracted beasts. I'm sure we can get deep into the center of the Qingshan Wilderness Area!"

"I heard that there are many first and second grade mineral spirit plants in the Qingshan Wilderness Area. I wonder if we will be lucky enough to encounter them this time."

"Even if you can't find spiritual minerals or plants, training your contracted beasts and improving their strength is still great. Are you really trying to get fat all at once? The most important thing is... there are 10 of you in a group. Even if everyone gets to share what they find, it won't be much, right?"

"Ah, it turns out that those students whose initial contracted beasts have broken through to level 2 are the best. They can enter the Qingshan District in groups."

As these people were talking, many of them looked at Song Yu with envy.

Currently, in the entire Class 5, only Song Yu has a contracted beast that has broken through to Level 2!

That look almost said...If this woman goes to the wilderness area, she will definitely be able to kill everyone and get all kinds of spiritual minerals and plants!

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu silently stuffed the oversized backpack into the storage rack on the upper level of the bus.

She tried not to look at the burning gazes directed at her from all around her.

To be honest, she has already obtained the map of the Qingshan Wilderness Area and is planning to find a small river to live in for the first half of a month.

She even thought about tomorrow's lunch last night: braised river fish!

As for spiritual plants and spiritual minerals, they really have nothing to do with her!
