Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 1 Awakening Ceremony
Yan Kingdom Alliance
Yandong Province

Jiaying City

Shenshan middle school
Senior 3 (24)
Ye Bai was staring blankly out the window, watching the tiny blue crows chirping away.

He was reborn here and worked 996 every day until he finally reached the awakening ceremony.

Once you awaken, you can reach the pinnacle of life and have a beautiful wife and children in your arms.

Class teacher Zhang Lingxue walked up carrying the heavy Awakening Stone.

This girl, whom the boys in Class 24 called "Dream Snow," was in her early twenties, yet she was the youngest professor in the history of the Yan Kingdom Alliance.

The pet she researched, the Hundred Transformations Silkworm, evolved into the Goddess of Light Butterfly and even won the pet award from the Yan Kingdom Alliance.

Originally, the Hundred-Change Silkworm was called the White Jade Silkworm. It was chubby and cute, but after Zhang Lingxue made a breakthrough in its research, it was renamed the Hundred-Change Silkworm.

As is well known, the common evolutionary path of the variegated silkworm is only that of the gray poison moth, which is grayish and covered with various scales.

Once you come into contact with the scales of the gray tussock moth, you will enter a state of various negative effects.

Every year, countless people are hospitalized for treatment after getting scales from the tussock moth.

The evolutionary conditions for the Hundred-Change Silkworm are very simple: as long as it eats enough food, it can evolve into the Gray Poison Moth.

Zhang Lingxue believes that insect-type pets have short evolutionary cycles and many changes.

She selected hundreds of insect-type pets for genetic testing, among which the gene of the Hundred-Change Silkworm was unstable and had higher plasticity.

Therefore, she specially selected a pet egg of the Hundred Transformations Silkworm of excellent quality and nurtured it from a young age. She used the fourth-tier resource, the Light Stone, to successfully transform the Hundred Transformations Silkworm into the Goddess of Light Butterfly after its evolution.

Since her research was published, more and more researchers have focused their attention on the ever-changing silkworm.

Soon, other evolutionary paths of the Hundred-Change Silkworm were also discovered.

For example, there's the Water-type Illusionary Water Butterfly, the Fire-type Flame Butterfly, and the Wood-type Wood Grain Butterfly.

Resources are divided into nine levels, from level one to level nine.

The qualifications also originate from this arrangement.

At the height of her fame, she came to teach at Shenshan Middle School.

Shenshan Middle School is one of the top ten middle schools in Yandong Province, with abundant teaching resources and its own exclusive pet beast secret realm.

Liu Hang, the principal of Shenshan Middle School, even designated a special area for Zhang Lingxue to conduct research.

Zhang Lingxue placed the Awakening Stone on the podium.

"Students, today is the awakening ceremony, which is also the most important event in our lives."

"This Awakening Stone can help students awaken their pet space and talents."

"Anyone who can awaken their pet space will definitely be able to awaken their talent."

"Talent may vary in strength, but every talent has its unique advantages. There are no useless talents, only useless beast masters."

"Talents are classified according to their rarity, from highest to lowest: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on."

"Those who can awaken talents of B grade or above are already extremely rare. In the history of the Yan Kingdom Alliance, there are only a handful of people who have awakened S grade talents."

"Alright, everyone, let's begin."

"Zhang Qiang."

A student who looked as thin as a stick walked up and placed his hand on the Awakening Stone.

This Awakening Stone is a stone that emits a milky white light and looks very solid.

"Quietly listen to your inner voice and empty your mind."

At this moment, bursts of white light emanated from Zhang Qiang's body.

A short while later, Zhang Qiang's white light dissipated with a look of frustration, indicating that his awakening had failed.

Those who successfully awaken will be surrounded by a circle of awakening light, and their awakened talents will also be displayed on the awakening stone.

"Awakening failed. Next up, Hua Qingyi."

Zhang Qiang had a long face. He knew that failing to awaken meant he would only be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.

From then on, they were from two different worlds from their classmates who had spent the previous two years together.

Zhang Qiang left the classroom, looking dejected.

Zhang Lingxue read the names one by one in the order of the roster.

Many people emanated the light of awakening, signifying successful awakening.

Zhang Lingxue kept recording the talents of these people.

"Water affinity, D-level talent".

"Fire-type enhancement, C-rank talent".

"Plant manipulation, C-level talent".

More and more people are awakening, and soon the number has exceeded ten.

At this moment, a commotion erupted around them. "Eye of Insight, A-rank talent."

Zhang Lingxue said this with a proud look, which caused an uproar among the whole class.

"A-level talent! I've actually seen someone awaken an A-level talent in my lifetime."

"The Eye of Insight, is that the talent that allows you to see the evolution path of a pet?"

"Squad leader, you're awesome, Plass."

The crowd discussed among themselves, all looking at the proud Li Weiyang with admiration.

Ye Bai looked around and saw that the short-haired girl who had awakened the Eye of Insight talent was like the blazing sun. She was his deskmate, Li Weiyang, who was also known as the most beautiful school flower in the history of Shenshan Middle School and the class monitor of Class 24.

"Ye Bai, come up here. Stay calm and don't panic."

Zhang Lingxue repeated these words.

Ye Bai stood up calmly, walked to the edge of the Awakening Stone, and placed his hand on it.

A cool sensation rushed into his mind, and he felt every cell in his body cheering with joy.

A peculiar feeling flashed through his mind, and then he heard a cracking sound, as if something had broken open.

A special space measuring eight meters by eight meters by eight meters appeared in his mind.

At the same time, a white and gold orb of light appeared.

The white light emanating from Ye Bai's body dissipated the next second, and his homeroom teacher, Zhang Lingxue, quickly recorded Ye Bai's talent—photographic memory.

"D-level talent - Photographic memory".

After hearing the homeroom teacher's words, the surrounding students immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"A photographic memory? That's too ordinary a talent. Being an ordinary person is just right."

"Yeah, it's not as good as water affinity or fire enhancement."

"Ye Bai always ranked first in the entire grade in every exam. After using this talent, he became even more outstanding in exams."

"What's the use of doing well on exams? Does it provide practical experience?"

At this moment, Ye Bai was stunned because a panel suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Lines of text appeared on the panel.

Daily intelligence updates.

[1: Those who have awakened the Eye of Insight talent can have their blood dripped onto the Seven Aperture Jade, activating the jade and replicating the Eye of Insight talent.]

[2. Li Weiyang, having awakened the extremely rare talent "Eye of Insight," will be shot at 5 PM today. She is bleeding heavily and has fainted several times.]

3. The Thousand-Change Silkworm is very similar to the Hundred-Change Silkworm, the only difference being that the Thousand-Change Silkworm has a faint, jade-like light between its eyebrows, and it is said that every ounce of its exquisite silk is worth an ounce of gold.

[4. Principal Liu Hang of Shenshan Middle School, who is known for his flowing long hair, is actually bald. He has gone to extremes in his efforts to effectively treat his baldness.]

[5. Among the pet resources distributed by Shenshan Middle School, resource pack number 38 contained a Tier 5 resource: a Life Spirit Seed.]

The arrival of this cheat code filled Ye Bai with excitement; the very first piece of information alone benefited him greatly.

In this era where information resources are king, controlling resources is like controlling a goose that lays golden eggs.

Furthermore, based on the daily intelligence updates, it can be inferred that this intelligence is refreshed once a day.

However, Ye Bai didn't know exactly when it would refresh; he would need to conduct some testing to find out.

In addition to a control panel, Ye Bai also sensed a pet space measuring eight meters by eight meters by eight meters that had just been created.

Nine grooves appeared on an ancient stone slab radiating a star-blue light, representing the contract positions.

This is Ye Bai's pet space. One of the slots is emitting a dazzling light, while the other eight slots are grayish-white. They can only be activated when Ye Bai's strength reaches a certain level.

This means Ye Bai can sign contracts for a certain number of pets.

Generally, when a pet master awakens, they can only sign one pet contract. Occasionally, some exceptionally talented pet masters can sign multiple pet contracts in one contract slot.

A new book by an old friend, The Fat Orange Cat That Collapsed the Bed: Beast Taming: 16 years old, Old Deng's Counterattack - what the heck?

The auditorium of Tianhai No.1 Middle School.

Xia Mu, a high school senior, was struggling to choose between being a Beast Tamer or a Breeder when Old Deng's Counterattack System suddenly appeared.

[Ding! The Old Deng Comeback System is now online!]

[At forty, you've struggled for most of your life, still a lowly beast tamer in middle age. When Tianhai City is breached by the Abyss Bone Dragon and reduced to scorched earth, with your friends and family suffering heavy casualties, you regret not becoming a beast tamer. Will you muster the courage to try again, embark on the path of beast taming, and in your old age, rise up and dance with abandon?]

[In Tianhai No. 1 High School, which has become the lair of the Abyss Bone Dragon, make the choice to become a Beastmaster and embark on a path of revenge. Reward: Old Deng's Revenge Gift Pack.]

Xia Mu stared blankly at the suddenly appearing system.

No, I'm only 16? What kind of comeback is this?

Brother Tong, did you put this on too early?
