Chapter 47 I Want to Be a Salted Fish



It takes about two to three hours to drive from Jianghuai No. 1 Middle School to the city base.

Since most of these students were leaving Jianghuai City for the first time, they did not feel the drowsiness that ordinary passengers felt on a long-distance bus ride. Instead, they were extremely excited!

Even though most of the time the scenery on both sides of the bus were the familiar streets and alleys of Jianghuai City, it couldn't stop the excitement of this group of high school seniors.

They were either chatting with friends or looking out the car windows unable to contain their excitement.

Like these excited classmates, Song Yu also tilted his head to look out the window.

She had a sweet strawberry lollipop in her mouth, and her dark eyes, slightly misty, began to look carefully through the window of the bus.

Compared to ordinary buses traveling through the city, this bus is actually more like a tour bus for a zoo, except that it is taller, bigger and stronger. Every window is made of high-strength tempered glass, and two rows of steel bars as thick as two fingers are installed inside and outside the windows!

"Hmm~" Song Yu smacked the melting strawberry candy on the tip of his tongue twice, and his pink fingertips gently tapped on the cold steel bars.

The hard steel bars immediately made a 'ding ding' metallic sound.

"Isn't this third-level Machheul metal quite strong?"

"This special metal protective window is so strong that even if you encounter a Level 3 primary alien beast, it won't be able to break through in a short period of time."

Zhou Ting, sitting next to Song Yu, noticed Song Yu's curiosity about the metal window pane. She immediately leaned over to take a look and said with a smile, "This specially designed bus we're riding is also a high-horsepower H3 model produced by Maher. If we encounter danger in the wilderness... not only can it reach an ultra-high speed of 480 kilometers per hour on flat ground, leaving ordinary exotic beasts behind, but it can also reach speeds of over 250 kilometers per hour on ordinary mountain terrain."

"If it weren't for the fact that Jianghuai City doesn't allow driving at such high speeds to prevent traffic accidents, we could reach the Qingshan Wilderness Area in less than an hour!" Zhou Ting spoke with such force that it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Zhou Ting's explanation was so clear and logical that a classmate in the car immediately tilted his head and asked curiously, "How do you know so much?"

As high school seniors, they are busy studying every day. Not only do they not know the specific conditions of these special buses, but they are also not familiar with the ordinary buses in the city.

"Because my father works at Maher Company. He is the company's quality management engineer."

Zhou Ting patted the sturdy bus seat and feigned a relaxed, worried tone, "What I hate most about my dad is that he loves to talk to me about his company every morning. He talks about everything from company gossip to product quality. He even wants me to work there after I graduate from college... How is that possible? I want to be a professional Beast Tamer!"

“Tsk!”

Look at this Versailles...

Some students rubbed their arms and even got goosebumps.

Due to the large-scale space cracks that appeared around the world.

Often, traveling from one city to another requires crossing multiple wilderness forests and secret areas, making it inconvenient to transport various supplies over long distances.

Therefore, any company that can open stores across cities is a top company.

Due to the strong rise of Mahel Metals, Mahel Corporation has become one of the most powerful high-tech emerging companies in the world in the past fifty years.

Maher has more than 500 stores worldwide, including one in Jianghuai City, where its employees receive excellent benefits.

It is no wonder that Zhou Ting's parents hope that she will go to work at Maher Company after graduating from university.

Song Yu listened carefully and was not very interested in the Maher Company, which specialized in selling Maher metal and off-road vehicles and buses outside the city.

Many of Zhou Ting's classmates, however, had heard that her father worked for Maher and immediately engaged in conversations with her about Maher Metal and cars. Many of them had a twinkle in their eyes, hoping to one day buy their own Maher off-road vehicle, rather than having to rent a bus with other classmates and teachers every time they ventured into wilderness areas or secret realms.

Song Yu blinked. It seemed that no matter what era, cars would always be a topic that everyone would discuss.

As sixty or seventy buses sped along at high speed, shuttling through the streets of the city, they looked like the most beautiful scenery in the city.

This attracted the attention of many passers-by, and made many students sitting on the bus instinctively hold their heads high and chests puff out their chests, and even their spirits seemed to be lifted a little.

Passing through the bustling city streets and heading towards the suburbs...

The lush vegetation is growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even in autumn, the outskirts of Jianghuai City are still covered with large areas of green, with only some yellow and red dots. From shrubs to ancient trees, the scenery outside the car window is constantly changing.

Song Yu looked at the gray hares that occasionally emerged from the grass, the deer that occasionally jumped in the woods, and the wisps of fresh air that penetrated into his nostrils through the gaps in the car windows. All of these were slowly unfolding a new picture of the wilderness to Song Yu.

With her excellent eyesight, she even saw some clever monkeys playing happily in some fruit trees.

After all, they were all 18 years old and at the active age. The students who were leaving Jianghuai City for the first time looked at the peaceful and tranquil environment around them in surprise.

“Crash!——”

Suddenly, a giant dog about 1.5 meters tall, covered in black hair and with a single red horn on its head, jumped out from the bushes beside the road!

It has a slender body, and its sharp white fangs are like steel spikes. It leaps up almost the moment it appears and suddenly pounces on a monkey on a treetop five or six meters high!

It moved as fast as lightning and bit the big monkey in an instant before it could react!

The scene was once extremely bloody and brutal.

"hiss!--"

Someone in the bus immediately gasped.

But some took a quick glance and snorted disdainfully, "A Level 0 Venom Fang Dog, lacking even a bloodline skill. It's just a worthless beast, slightly faster, stronger, and bigger than an average dog. It's only fit to live outside these extremely scarce wilderness areas, hunting these ordinary animals."

Just like the beast-taming space in the human body, the secret realm also contains a large amount of original energy.

The higher the rating level of the secret realm, the more original energy it contains.

The wilderness area was once a secret place, although after merging with Blue Star, its original energy dissipated and spread to the ordinary land of Blue Star.

However, due to the influence of the magnetic field, most of the original energy was still confined within the original secret realm...

Therefore, this is also one of the main reasons why most exotic beasts in the wilderness do not like to run around.

Except for some special cases, only low-level exotic beasts that cannot survive in their original areas like to run out of the wilderness area.

"Indeed, the level of these strange beasts is too low. Even the soldiers and beastmasters on the border are too lazy to clean them up..." Someone took a few glances and nodded.

As the bus continued to travel, Song Yu and his group soon arrived at a supply base where military beastmasters were stationed.

A high-speed protective wall with electric fences, and a patrolling army armed with metal guns and accompanied by contracted beasts.

It makes people feel as if they have suddenly traveled from a nature reserve to another steel world!

The supply base is very large, with densely packed buses and off-road vehicles entering from the base gate.

Some of these vehicles were filled with high school seniors from other schools, some were service personnel from Jianghuai City working at the supply base, and some were teams of beastmasters returning from the wilderness. Some of these teams' vehicles were relatively clean, while others were stained with mud, grass, and blood, revealing the intense battles they had previously endured. Others, atop their contracted beasts, galloped forward with the unrestrained grace of nomadic herdsmen, their bodies brimming with ferocity.

"Wow!--"

Some of the contracted beasts looked very powerful, which immediately caused many students in the car to exclaim.

Their eyes lit up and they stared at the Beast Tamer team outside the window without blinking.

As the bus drove skillfully, a group of people passed through the square and a few shops, and soon stopped in a parking lot in front of a residential area.

As soon as the car stopped, the class teachers urged the students to get off the bus quickly.

Some class teachers who arrived early had already begun explaining various precautions.

Zhou Tao, dressed in black, stood in front of Class 5 and pointed at the five registration points at the entrance to the residential complex. "Everyone, pay attention! I'll only say this once today!"

"After this practical training in the wilderness area... you will no longer have school escorts when you enter the wilderness area! You will need to handle these matters on your own!"

"The five registration points over there are where everyone entering the wilderness supply base must go!"

"All you need to do is hand over your ID card to the other party! You'll be able to rent a powerful communication bracelet! With the bracelet, you can find your teammates in this wilderness area, notify the supply base or other beastmasters for help! You can even bind the bracelet to open an uninhabited house! Once you leave the wilderness area, return the powerful communication bracelet to the registration point!"

Zhou Tao put his hands behind his back, raised an eyebrow and smiled. "However, since these houses are provided free of charge by the supply base, the number is limited. Therefore, I suggest that you find accommodations as a team... Otherwise, you might run into a few homeless professional beastmasters in the wilderness... Don't blame me for not warning you if you get beaten up."

Zhou Tao's dark eyes held a teasing smile as he carefully surveyed the students in Class 5. "Killing is prohibited at the supply base, but fighting isn't. There are even several fighting arenas... So you've got to work hard and don't get beaten up by people from other schools! The exotic animal materials and spiritual minerals and plants you collect from the wilderness can be exchanged for cash at the supply point east of the supply base... If you're lucky, you might even get your college tuition paid for this time..."

Zhou Tao stood in front and yelled, but Song Yu's mind was repeating: "Don't get beaten up by people from other schools!"

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu moved his heavy shoulders that were bent by the backpack and sighed helplessly.

The hateful infighting and competition among the beastmasters are hidden in every corner of the streets and alleys at all times.

As the sound of brakes came from the parking lot, Song Yu also saw buses from other schools arriving at the residential area one after another.

The three registration points, which already had long queues, immediately added a lot of people...

The line was as long as a python and I didn't know how long I would have to wait.

Song Yu yawned, feeling sleepy. The specially made green wilderness outfit was a bit thick and stuffy. She followed the crowd with her head down, wearing a sun hat, listening to the other classmates chattering excitedly behind her. She couldn't bear the boredom of waiting in the long line, so she secretly took out her mobile phone from her backpack.

After entering the wilderness area, there was no signal on my phone, and the battery level was only 86%, which showed that I had been secretly listening to music on the bus.

Take out your headphones and open the video software on your phone.

Song Yu looked at the video resources he had downloaded from the official website in the past two days with satisfaction, and opened the third episode of a melodramatic love drama - "Going Home, ***".

In the play.

The heroine was eating hot pot and singing songs, and just returned home with her contracted beast, when she saw the second female lead who was having an affair with the hero in the large garden on the rooftop, and caught them in bed...

Song Yu's eyes lit up and he watched intently, wishing he could get into his phone and witness with his own eyes the next second as the heroine tore apart the scumbag and the mistress!

She was interrupted by a voice beside her that suddenly rose an octave.

"Oh my! Why does everyone want to be a professional beastmaster these days? Is the threshold for becoming a professional beastmaster really that low now? Or do they think that just having hands will earn them the same salary as a professional beastmaster?"

"Hahahaha, Old Wei, don't say that. After all, there are entry requirements for the Beast Taming major. Some people will be eliminated after just three days. After all, this is the first time in my life that I've seen someone come to the wilderness area and watch TV series on their phone."

Several boys stood behind Song Yu, laughing and pointing at her.
