"Dean Zhou, I'm here. Hello, senior brothers." Fang Yuan greeted them politely.
She looks adorable, gentle, and sweet.
"Xiaoyuan, you're here? You can call me mentor or professor from now on, but don't call me dean, it's too formal."
Zhou He stood up, looked at Fang Yuan, and said something. The two men behind him then said:
"Meet your new junior, Fang Yuan, this year's freshman, whom I personally recruited." His tone was slightly smug.
"I know, I know. Fang Yuan is a very famous and promising junior. I didn't expect her to actually be recruited by the mentor. I am Lei Jun, a senior. This is Wang Shuai, a junior."
One of the handsome boys glanced at Fang Yuan, then introduced him with a smile.
"Hello, junior sister. I'm Wang Shuai. If you need any help, you can come to me directly."
The man named Wang Shuai also greeted Fang Yuan warmly.
"Hello, Senior Brother Lei Jun, hello, Senior Brother Wang Shuai, I am Fang Yuan."
Fang Yuan greeted his two senior brothers again and readily addressed them as "mentor," then looked at Zhou He and asked:
"Mentor, what do you want me to do here?"
"Did you see these eggs? They're the cubs of a king beast. Because it laid too many at once, most of them are just high-level spirit beasts. I want to give one to you to hatch!"
As Zhou He spoke, he revealed the five strange beast eggs behind him, each the size of an ostrich egg.
One of them has a faint pattern, which should be the only king beast egg.
The other eggs, though lacking patterns, were roughly the same size, suggesting they were indeed from the same family.
"I'm new here and I don't know anything. You want me to incubate it?" Fang Yuan was utterly shocked.
They're giving me such difficult questions right away, isn't this just asking for trouble?
Are they planning to cripple her completely?
"Junior sister, don't worry. We only need to return three qualified beast eggs to them, so it's okay even if you don't succeed in raising them," Lei Jun comforted her.
“That’s right, that’s how it was when we first came here. Our mentor said that to master beast taming, you have to practice a lot. Talking about it on paper is useless.” Wang Shuai chimed in.
When he first arrived, he was completely bewildered as he was given an egg.
In order to successfully hatch that egg, he worked day and night for a period of time, and he went through all the required textbooks in half a month.
"Exactly! The teacher's wise saying is, 'It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. If you want to catch mice, you have to practice more!'" Lei Jun added.
He used to catch mice like that too; it's heartbreaking to think about it.
"Huh?......" Is this the teaching philosophy?
But she hadn't even read any books about animal breeding yet, so she had no idea what to do.
"Don't worry, just follow your senior brothers' instructions. But remember to take notes while you're working on it. If you don't understand something, look it up in the book. If you still don't understand, you can ask me or your senior brothers."
Zhou He said this casually, as if it were nothing to worry about.
He has never liked to teach in a rigid, step-by-step manner.
Those who read books first and then practice, even if they memorize the knowledge in the books perfectly, will still frequently encounter various problems in the end.
On the contrary, those who immediately start hands-on practice are more careful and cautious because they know nothing about it.
Moreover, because he hadn't read the book, his enthusiasm for learning didn't require any prompting from anyone.
The key is that she learns incredibly fast and can also help him share the burden, which is a win-win situation.
"Can I ask what kind of egg this is?" Fang Yuan asked tentatively.
If the system hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the teacher didn't know she had a ranch space, Fang Yuan would have suspected that he knew she had a cheat ability.
"These are Xuan Turtle eggs. The people from the Combat Academy brought them back a couple of days ago. After I examined them, I found that these little guys haven't developed much yet. It will take at least a month to hatch them."
The eggs brought back by other colleges will be returned to them after the colleges that cultivate them have hatched them; half of the eggs will meet the standards.
Of course, those who have a royal beast must return it, and those who don't should be allowed to choose one themselves.
There are five eggs this time. If they all hatch, they can keep two.
“But I haven’t had a single training class yet…” Fang Yuan struggled again.
She immediately started raising cubs; does this director think she's a god?
“Actually, raising these spirit beasts isn’t difficult at all. Apart from needing the right environment, the only other thing you need is the right amount of energy,” Zhou He comforted him.
The specially designed cultivation areas have already been placed here.
All that's left is for the breeder to provide it with the corresponding energy every day.
"The corresponding energy? Is it the same as the awakening pod?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.
She suddenly remembered the awakening pod when she first awakened her Beast Taming Space.
"Pretty much. Our academy is designed to effectively cultivate spirit beasts and streamline cultivation costs." Zhou He nodded.
This girl is indeed very perceptive; she guessed the general idea right away.
"Can't we use spirit cores to cultivate spirit beasts?" Fang Yuan continued to ask.
"Of course, it must be used, but it must be used precisely, that is what makes a good nurturing master."
As Zhou He was speaking, he suddenly asked, "By the way, how many spirit beasts have you contracted yet?"
"Two!" Fang Yuan lied calmly as well.
Zhou He nodded as expected: "That's right, then your mental strength should be sufficient now."
"This has nothing to do with mental strength?"
"Of course, your Beast Taming Space attribute will be integrated into your spiritual power. You have three types of spaces, and your spiritual power comes with three types of energy, which is very suitable for raising cubs."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have used that hard-won king beast cub to coax people over.
"I see."
Fang Yuan nodded, finally feeling a little more at ease.
In her previous life, when Fang Lan was raising cubs, she always acted mysteriously, simply placing the cubs in her space to raise them for a while before calling it a day.
The spiritual energy in her ranch has a blessing effect on cubs, so any kind of cub can be released there.
She had originally thought that if raising spirit beasts was difficult, perhaps she could try this cheating method?
Now...
She looked at the five eggs with a hint of eagerness.
Zhou He noticed Fang Yuan's expression and smiled smugly to himself.
He then turned and walked to the eggs, picked up a black tortoise egg and handed it to her:
"Come over here, you can try it."
"How do we test it?" Fang Yuan asked, taking the egg.
"Use your mental energy to soothe and nurture the egg. You have water and earth elements, which will benefit its development," Zhou He said.
"oh!"
Fang Yuan held the egg in his hands and released his mental energy towards it.
After Fang Yuan covered the eggshell with her mental energy, she was surprised to find that the egg was slowly absorbing her mental energy.
Although it was only a very small amount, she was certain that the guy had absorbed it.
Perhaps what it absorbed was exactly what the little guy inside the egg needed.
Then she felt that the life inside the egg seemed to be a little more vigorous.
"I felt as if it absorbed my spiritual energy, and then its vitality became a little stronger."
Fang Yuan looked up at Zhou He and expressed his feelings.
