Chapter 82 I Want to Be a Salted Fish



If someone had told Yu Li a day ago that the contracted beast would be like a star-chasing girl who would be so excited to see the signature of her idol (writer) that she would suddenly evolve and transform.

She must have rolled her eyes and spat on the spot!

Bah! I’ve studied professional knowledge for decades but I’ve never heard of such a thing!

You are insulting me!

However, Yu Li, who was carefully recalling the shopping trip of Mission Target No. 1 yesterday, couldn't help but look at her colleagues in bewilderment.

It's not that they are weak-willed, but after thinking about it, they realized that Mission Target No. 1 did not do anything else yesterday.

After getting up and washing up in the morning, I had breakfast in the cafeteria, then took part in the professional beastmaster assessment in the training camp. Finally, I used the space-type beast's ability to shuttle and jump to go to the next city to buy some things... and then... the contracted beast of mission target No. 1 evolved from level six to level seven.

Not to mention hard training, I'm afraid there is even little communication between Mission Target No. 1 and the contracted beast.

Yu Li: “…”

Zhao Lan: “…”

The two researchers frowned, their expressions serious.

Shit! Could it be that this Snow Spirit Cat really evolved because it was so excited to see this set of novels signed by the author?

As exotic beast researchers, Yu Li and Zhao Lan often know more than the average person, especially regarding the evolution of contracted beasts. They even have their own experimental summaries. This isn't really just their own conclusions, but rather a widely acknowledged fact among exotic beast researchers worldwide over the years.

——Contracted beasts are often more likely to evolve when they are emotionally excited.

For example: The contractor or the contracted beast is trapped and in crisis, and evolves on the spot.

For example: The contracted beast is exhausted during training, but suddenly explodes, grits its teeth and perseveres, and evolves.

For example, some contracted beasts evolve suddenly in order to compete with other contracted beasts for food.

It’s not like researchers haven’t thought about using emotions to achieve the goal of evolving contracted beasts before.

But later experiments found that with a large amount of emotional stimulation, the contracted beasts would not evolve...

Contracted beasts even showed signs of rebellion and darkening, some directly attacking their contractors and other humans, seemingly determined to fight to the death. Some even experienced a decline in their abilities! The vast majority of contracted beasts suffered various psychological traumas during the experiments, and no longer responded to their contractors' orders.

Mania, depression, autism, these mental illnesses that were once only seen in humans, also appear in contracted beasts.

Therefore, this method that evolved due to emotional excitement cannot be controlled artificially at all.

The emotional stimulation is too strong. Regardless of whether the contracted beast evolves or not, it will be useless if it suffers psychological trauma.

The emotional stimulation is too mild. The contracted beast will think you are just tickling it and will just sneeze and go away. It will ignore other researchers and contractors at all, let alone the word evolution.

Therefore...

Can emotional excitement cause a contracted beast to evolve? Yes!

But can this method be replicated? No!

Unless someone can find a way to stimulate the emotions of the contracted beasts and make them evolve without causing any trauma.

Otherwise... this method will never benefit other people.

But every contracted beast is different, and they have their own living habits and personalities.

This is like the parents of a top student who got admitted to Capital University and graduated with a Ph.D., but they cannot guarantee that their own children will also be able to get admitted to Capital University and graduate with a Ph.D. like them.

Yu Li and Zhao Lan frowned, but at the same time they carefully recorded the news Song Yu said in their notebooks. They even asked about the titles of all the novels they had read in the past six months since the ball contract, as well as the specific name of the novel last night.

In response to the researcher's questions and records, as the party A who paid Song Yu even without any effort, she not only did not hide anything, but even carefully retrieved the titles of some e-novels that Qiuqiu had read online in recent days to cooperate with the party A's work.

But half a year is not a short time after all...

Song Yu carefully sorted through it several times, and combined with the web browsing history and VIP subscription records on the tablet, Song Yu finally collected 82 novels for Yu Li and Zhao Lan. She couldn't squeeze out more... She really only remembered these book titles.

Song Yu cooperated well, and as professional exotic animal researchers, Zhao Lan and Yu Li wrote the record report quickly and beautifully.

then……

Half an hour later, Song Yu finished today's questioning and recording, and swaggered out of the grove with the cat in his arms... Yu Li and Zhao Lan watched Song Yu's back as he left, and finally he gradually disappeared from their sight.

The two of them then let out a long sigh.

Yu Li scratched her short hair, which had been smooth and shiny, but now it had become a mess. "I originally thought that Miss Song was just a lucky gambler, and that it happened that the four contracted beasts broke through their bloodline levels in a short period of time and evolved to their current state."

"Ah, now it seems that I am too superficial."

Yu Li looked at her colleague and sighed, "Even though Miss Song didn't say it directly, she was able to use this simple method to mobilize the emotions of the contracted beast and make that sixth-level snow spirit cat leap into a seventh-level beast... There must be something in her mind."

If one or two times were coincidences, then so many consecutive rapid evolutions would be impossible for Yu Li to convince herself that they were coincidences even if she wanted to.

"You're right."

Zhao Lan nodded and said with a serious expression: "Although she is not a researcher and is currently only a high school student, looking at her nonchalant training method, her leisurely attitude towards life during the training period, and the speed at which the Snow Spirit Cat evolved to the seventh level, you can tell that Miss Song is a capable person and she is confident!" Zhao Lanchong also gave a thumbs up.

In the past, they had met at least eight thousand beastmasters and researchers.

But every time these people talked about the evolution of the contracted beasts, their expressions were all serious and earnest, and their whole bodies were extremely tense and ready for action, for fear that mistakes would occur during the evolution process and all would be lost.

But Miss Song was not in a hurry when buying books, and she also ate and shopped leisurely with her roommates. She must have been very confident and had a good chance of success!

Otherwise, how could the contracted beast be so leisurely when evolving from the intermediate level to the advanced level?

"Ah, it seems that we both failed to recognize the great man before."

Yu Li touched her chin and said seriously, "I've just been thinking about it carefully. As the old saying goes, there should be a balance between hard work and rest. Perhaps Miss Song was too tired from training for a while, so she wanted to relax."

"Besides, contracted beasts can also train in the Beast Taming Space. Miss Song has a Level 6S Beast Taming Space, which is very spacious. Unlike those low-level Beast Taming Spaces, where contracted beasts have difficulty turning around." Yu Li's face was serious, and she had already made an excuse for Song Yu: "These contracted beasts may be training every day in Miss Song's Beast Taming Space... This would explain why Miss Song's contracted beasts can evolve continuously as soon as they appear."

Zhao Lan was puzzled: "That's not right... If that's the case, why didn't Miss Song tell us these days?"

"That must be because she thinks it's unnecessary! After all, isn't the reason why alien beasts and humans form contracts so that the Beast Taming Space can accelerate their evolution?"

Yu Li waved her hand. "The Beast Taming Space contains a large amount of original energy that the contracted beasts can absorb, accelerating their evolution. The spacious interior of the Beast Taming Space also provides them with a large skill training ground. So... isn't it common sense for contracted beasts to absorb energy and train their skills in the Beast Tamer's Space?"

"...Well, I think what you say makes sense." Zhao Lan thought for a moment and nodded. "Miss Song's cheerful and carefree appearance every day can even make those jealous students relax their vigilance towards her. When the critical moment comes, Miss Song can quickly deal with them like lightning."

Zhao Lan frowned, exhaled deeply, and said, "After all, whether in the wilderness or the secret realm, the contracted beasts are always the main force of combat. The beastmaster can only serve as a commander and auxiliary... As long as the contracted beast is well trained, even if the contractor is a patient in a wheelchair, he can still unleash incredible combat power."

Therefore.

Both researchers now believed that although Song Yu was young, he was more mature than most beast tamers.

Smiling and idle around every day is also her pretense of being harmless.

As official staff, they have come into contact with Song Yu intentionally or unintentionally these days, and there have been too many good intentions and bad intentions directed at him.

No one knows what will happen in the next second. Even though there are a large number of instructors in the training camp, it is not excessive for Song Yu to be cautious.

The 6S-level beast-taming space and the ability to allow contracted beasts to quickly break through and evolve are simply too incredible.

Playing the pig and eating the tiger is the best way!

Only those geniuses who can grow up can be called strong, while those geniuses who have extraordinary talents but die on the road can only be called geniuses forever.

Song Yu had no idea what the two female researchers living across the dormitory had done to supplement her brain because of Qiuqiu's evolution last night.

She just tried hard to recall the reasons for the evolution of the balls and circles in recent days. It was as if a hint of inspiration flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it for a while.

Song Yu hesitated for a moment and wanted to think about it carefully, but he heard his cell phone buzzing.

I opened my phone and saw...

What he saw was the message from Qin Hong.

Qin Hong's message was very simple, just a few words.

——Qin Hong: Gather at the playground, come quickly!

Song Yu tilted his head: "......?" Staring at the phone screen in confusion, he thought carefully about what the trainer and instructor had said during the open classes these days. Suddenly, he remembered that someone seemed to have mentioned it on the playground a few days ago.

It seems that these students who entered the genius training camp will have a secret assessment this month.

"Is this what Teacher Qin wants to say?" Song Yu murmured, turning around to let the ball regain some shape.

The little kitten that could just be held in one hand turned into an extra-large white cat two meters tall in the blink of an eye. Song Yu climbed onto the cat's back, and suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing in his ears.

The speed of the seventh-level Snow Spirit Cat is not to be underestimated. Even though the Snow Spirit Cat is a spiritual beast, cat-type beasts are naturally known for their speed and agility.

In less than three minutes, Song Yu had successfully arrived at the girls' dormitory, ran upstairs to find Baiyue and went to the playground together.

Ten minutes later.

The wide playground paved with ancient bluestone slabs was now crowded with a large group of people.

They stood in groups of three or four, chatting friendly with their acquaintances, except for the occasional verbal quarrels between a few students.

For a moment, the entire playground was unusually harmonious.

As students appeared one after another quickly, Song Yu vaguely discovered that there were more students appearing this time than the previous times he came to the playground.

Obviously, this time the students are not only from the high school group, but also from the college and graduate groups who have come to the playground.

Song Yu looked carefully and even found a few familiar faces in the crowd.

Among them was the young man in a black windbreaker she had met yesterday at the Professional Beast Tamer exam, and the young man in a baseball cap beside him. Walking alongside them were six or seven other students, both men and women. Judging by their aura and proud confidence, they were clearly not to be trifled with.

As the other group walked towards them, Song Yu even saw many students subconsciously stepping aside, their faces full of fear.

They are all students from the genius training camp...

Song Yu felt that apart from himself as a variable, the other students all had their own pride to a greater or lesser extent, and normally only the trainers and instructors could make them bow their heads.

But now...

Those students in front with fear written all over their faces didn't have any arrogance at all; they were clearly filled with fear and nervousness.

Song Yu blinked: "Hmm...?"

It seems that the training for the college and graduate groups should be more brutal than that for the high school group.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary person have such an expression when meeting a classmate from the same school?

I silently filled in my mind a scenario - I'm not afraid of school violence, I'm just afraid of a bloody scene where the school isn't violent enough.

Song Yu's face was filled with sighs.

As expected, the job of a beastmaster is really not that good. Look at the way he beat up other kids, he's almost left them with psychological trauma.

When she earns enough money from the client this year, she can use it to live a good life.

Thinking about the 200 billion yuan in the contract, which is used as research funds to increase the evolution speed of the four little ones, Qiuqiu.

Song Yu touched his chin: "It seems that I can communicate with Yu Li and Zhao Lan in the next few days..." to see what is more suitable to buy.

According to the contract, the 200 billion yuan of funds cannot be used to purchase any rare materials and treasures in the genius training camp, but she can apply to the Exotic Beast Research Institute to purchase rare materials and treasures through two exotic beast researchers.

After all, who doesn’t love free snacks? Qiuqiu had several tubes of blood drawn today, so he just needed to replenish his blood.

"Whoosh whoosh!——"

“Swish~!——”

As students rushed to the playground one after another, instructors also arrived. Several of them were directly teleported by space-based monsters.

Song Yu looked at the flying monsters carrying people in the sky, as well as the space doors that suddenly appeared. Song Yu blinked, and a look of curiosity could not be concealed on his fair little face.

There are more students coming to the playground this time, and the scene of everyone showing off their skills has become more grand.

Song Yumomo and Bai Yue stood aside, as if watching a series of special effects blockbusters that suddenly appeared before their eyes.

If the situation wasn't wrong, she would have wanted to summon Quan Quan from the Beast Taming Space, take out two handfuls of peanuts and sunflower seeds from the small bag on Quan Quan's chest, and eat some of them.

Fortunately, the area of ​​the entire genius training camp is only this big, and the contracted beasts are extremely fast. Even if it is just an ordinary contracted beast that cannot fly and has no space attributes, it is enough to reach the playground from any corner of the training camp in just over ten minutes.

As the instructors arrived at the playground...

Qin Hong stood at the front of the team with his hands behind his back.

The playground, which was originally quite noisy with chattering, gradually became quiet.

Until everyone fell silent instinctively.

suddenly!

A huge space door suddenly opened above the originally empty playground!

A large space gate suddenly appeared, and clusters of invisible space energy fluctuations appeared like a hydrographic surface out of thin air. Then the next moment, the water ripples disappeared, the space disappeared, and the pitch-black space gate suddenly opened!

“Da da da—”

As the door to space suddenly opened.

An old man in black clothes with silver hair suddenly appeared, sitting on a giant deer with a silver body and green patterns!

After the old man appeared, the space door behind him slowly closed and disappeared, but the giant deer with silver fur did not fall from the sky. Instead, it was as if an invisible staircase suddenly appeared in the air. As the giant deer slid down with its footsteps, it steadily lifted up the man and the deer out of the air.

All the students on the playground looked at the old man without blinking.

Perhaps it was because the surroundings were too quiet, or perhaps it was because all the instructors and students' eyes were focused on this old man.

Or maybe the way the old man appeared was too special...

Song Yu always felt that this old man seemed to exude an aura of "strong" all over his body.

This is a kind of momentum that is hard to describe, but makes people feel different.

However, it seemed as if it was to verify Song Yu's idea.

“Da da da—”

As the giant deer walked step by step from the air to the playground, bluish-white lotus flowers suddenly appeared out of thin air all over the playground!

The bluestone floor, which was originally bare and devoid of any weeds, suddenly sprouted countless plants and wildflowers! Everyone seemed to have instantly fallen into a sea of ​​flowers in the spring.

Red, white and pink, clusters of unknown small wild flowers, matched with emerald green grass leaves, the entire playground has a pastoral scenery.

Song Yu subconsciously raised her hand and touched a bunch of yellow wild flowers that suddenly grew out from her feet and grew as high as her knees.

He couldn't help but secretly marvel at the magic of the exotic beasts once again. If it weren't for the fusion of the secret realm and the blue star, and the exotic beasts' slow evolution... this race could really be said to be blessed by nature and deeply loved by heaven and earth.

It's a pity that this is a male-oriented novel about a beastmaster...

Rather than a female-oriented novel about a world of strange beasts where humans transform into strange beasts.

Otherwise, the strange beasts in this world might be able to live more freely and happily.

My mind was full of random thoughts...

The old man sitting on the giant deer in front looked around and said loudly, "Welcome everyone to the National Talent Training Camp. As the general director of the National Talent Training Camp, I believe this is my first time meeting you all. Logically, I should introduce myself to everyone. But I don't like to talk nonsense, and I don't like talking to unimportant people or the dead."

"So... I'll just tell you the main point."

The old man stroked his beard, his eyes as cold as the winter snow, as if he didn't take any of the students present seriously at all. He said in a cold voice: "At the end of this month, according to the rules of previous years, a secret realm assessment competition should be held among the students."

"but!"

"The rules have changed this time!"

"Not only our Chinese students will be participating in the secret realm assessment competition, but students from five other countries will also be participating in this secret realm assessment!"

"And the assessment site this time is not located within China, but is located on the border of Qinyun Country, in the newly emerged five-star secret realm!"

The old man glanced coldly at everyone in the playground. "This secret realm assessment competition will last for one month. All contestants will not be allowed to leave the five-star secret realm within one month unless they complete the task or directly withdraw from the competition... At the same time, life and death are determined by fate!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "So... to put it nicely, you guys are geniuses... to put it bluntly, you might be dead tomorrow."

"My name is Lei Pengguo, a ninth-rank Saint-level Beastmaster... Perhaps many of you students don't know me, but that's okay. I don't need you to know me. You just need to know that this secret realm assessment competition will be more difficult and dangerous than before."

"But the rewards will be even greater! All contestants will not only receive all the natural treasures and exotic beast cubs they've harvested in the secret realm, but will also receive a large amount of bonus points! Furthermore, the top-ranked student in this assessment will receive a spot as a disciple of a ninth-rank Saint-level Beastmaster..."

"In addition, in addition to this... this assessment will also have teachers from the six major international beastmaster schools conducting on-site recruitment."

"So whether you can become my direct disciple, whether you can be admitted to the six major international beastmaster universities, and whether you can receive rich natural treasures as rewards depends on your own choices!"

"Even if you can't get first place in this assessment, as long as you can get a good ranking, the training camp will still give you other rewards based on your ranking! Natural treasures, money, exotic beast cubs, weapons, and so on are all included in this reward range!"

Lei Pengguo spoke softly, but his voice, which was accompanied by his mental power, could be clearly heard by every student present.

All the students, even Song Yu who was standing in the corner of the playground, could talk to the old man as if they were face to face.

"There are currently 861 trainees in the National Talent Training Camp."

"Another 400 talented students who have just participated in the national beast taming competitions of various levels will soon arrive at the training camp...so the number of students in this month's training camp will reach its peak this year."

"But the Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Tournament only requires 100 students to participate... and I don't have that much time to watch you all compete one by one."

"Therefore, this genius training camp will select 100 students from over 1,200 of you before the end of the month to directly participate in the upcoming Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Competition!"

"If you want a spot, you have to show the training camp your all! Otherwise, once the spots are announced, don't blame me for not warning you if you're left out!"

"Of course, if any of you don't want to participate in this Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Competition, you can directly tell your instructor..."

Lei Pengguo's sharp, eagle-like eyes swept across everyone present and sneered, "After all, not everyone is brave enough to fight for their country."

Boom——!

Lei Pengguo's last sentence was like a thunderbolt that suddenly struck all the students' heads!

How can young people, especially those who think they are geniuses, not have any blood?

Under normal circumstances, all students still have to think about what the Five-Star Secret Realm is and whether their contracted beasts are qualified to enter the Five-Star Secret Realm.

What if the level of the contracted beast is too low and it accidentally dies in the five-star secret realm? Wouldn’t that be terrible?

Being a disciple of a ninth-rank Saint-level Beastmaster is valuable, and admission to the six prestigious international Beastmaster schools is indeed expensive, but no matter what, life is more important.

What level is a five-star secret realm? Only those with a seventh-level contracted beast dare to enter!

But……

This damn old man actually dared to question their bloodiness and their determination to fight for the country. Isn't this disgusting?

As the saying goes, the head can be cut off, the blood can be shed, but dignity cannot be abandoned!

then……

The high school students, who thought they couldn't compete in the Six Nations Secret Realm Test, didn't seem to feel much. However, the university and graduate students, who considered themselves strong enough, glared at Lei Pengguo with serious expressions, even though everyone knew the old man before them was only trying to provoke them.

But there's nothing we can do about it. We're all young and energetic people, so who's afraid of who?

Young beastmasters from other countries, come over here if you have the guts!

"Teacher Lei, please don't look down on me."

"We may not be brave in other ways, but we do have some courage! What's more, we believe that we are no worse than other beastmasters of the same age, so the first place in this Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Tournament will definitely go to our country, China!"

"Yeah. No one here is a coward!"

Although the contestants from the other five countries had not yet appeared, the sudden surge of flames made the entire playground suddenly filled with murderous aura.

Everyone talked at once, expressing their desire to fight.

Song Yu silently looked at the classmate beside him, who suddenly seemed to be energized.

She always feels like a salted fish, and she doesn't want to fight with others at all. She is out of tune with everyone around her.

Song Yu shrank his neck: Fortunately, fortunately, a five-star secret realm... It seems that she doesn't need to go to a secret realm of this level. I guess these 100 places will fall into the hands of the university group and graduate group, those seventh-level and eighth-level genius beastmaster students.

Letting a useless person like her with no combat experience fight against beastmasters from other countries, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Different from the high school group who had just contracted the alien beast not long ago.

Among the students in the university and graduate groups, there are many very talented people.

But just when Song Yu felt that the Six Kingdoms Secret Realm Assessment Competition had nothing to do with her.

Lei Pengguo, sitting on the back of the giant deer, suddenly said again: "There is one more thing I just forgot to mention. This time, according to the ratio of the contestants in the Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment, the high school group has ten students, the university group has forty people, and the graduate group has fifty people."

"So I hope... everyone can train well in the training camp these days! Those who have strengths should not hide them!"

As Lei Pengguo finished speaking, the entire playground erupted in discussion again.

But before the students around him could finish speaking, there was a loud "boom!" and invisible spatial energy fluctuations appeared again. Three huge spatial gates appeared out of thin air, and a group of excited new students suddenly walked out of the spatial gates!

Four hundred new students arrived at this genius training camp at the same time!
