Spiritual Plant Master Sweeps the Beast Taming Star

Chapter 1: Teng Teng flew halfway?

Chapter 1: Soaring...halfway into the air?
"Look, the girl with the ponytail is Ge Bai. She is the highest in the spiritual awareness development test today. I have reliable information that this year, only about 10% of the people in the city have developed their spiritual awareness, and there are only 7 people including her."

"9.9%! What kind of monster is this? I heard she's an orphan. Mine is only 2.5%. I'm afraid my dad will beat me to death."

"She will definitely break through 10% before the high school entrance exam. I'm so envious."

Ge Bai had just completed his spiritual awareness development test. The 9.9% clearly displayed on the test instrument gave a small shock to everyone present.

According to the basic laws of the Interstellar Federation, all young people aged 15-16 are required to undergo a unified spiritual development test before the high school entrance examination.

This is also the earliest time when existing technology can test the development of spiritual consciousness.

This year, more than 15 students in 11 districts of Beijing and Hong Kong took the test, and Ge Bai's level was undoubtedly among the best.

The meditation method for developing spiritual consciousness was made public by the Interstellar Federation 172 years ago and is part of the nine-year compulsory education for teenagers.

Thanks to this, Ge Bai, who grew up in a social welfare home, had the opportunity to develop his spiritual awareness through his own efforts.

"Well, don't be happy yet. Maybe when she tests the affinity value of spiritual creatures for the second time, she may not have the affinity attribute of pets. Then it will be useless no matter how high her spiritual awareness is developed."

"How is that possible? Have you ever seen someone who has independently developed 10% of his spiritual awareness without an affinity attribute for his pet?"

Ge Bai removed the connecting wires of the testing instrument and walked out on her own. There were voices of envy and amazement as well as jealous remarks around her, but she didn't take them seriously.

It is already 11 o'clock in the morning. It is her turn to be on duty today, and she has to hurry back to the Blue Star Welfare Home to help Teacher Xiaolu prepare lunch.

This year marks the sixteenth year since Ge Bai came into this world.

In his previous life, after working continuously for more than 30 hours, Ge Bai died suddenly in a cubicle in an office building.

When she regained consciousness, she was a baby in a cradle outside the Blue Star Welfare Home.

Thought he could easily live again with the memories of his previous life, Ge Bai discovered that this world was completely different from Earth!

221 years ago, under the influence of the Milky Way's beta rays, animals and plants around the world began to mutate, and their intelligence and material value rose sharply.

Some extraordinary species also evolved incredible skills, becoming highly aggressive towards cities and villages, and human society fell into chaos for a time.

After more than 20 years of resistance and research, Chinese scientists were the first to explore a way for beastmasters to stably control spirit beasts, and made it public to the whole society.

Spiritual consciousness can be developed through meditation. For every 5% increase in spiritual consciousness development, you can make a contract with a spiritual beast, making it a pet, and store the pet in the spiritual consciousness space.

Through the training and education of pets, the evolution of pets can be promoted and they can grow into war beasts.

Relying on beastmasters and war beasts, humans gradually quelled the disasters brought about by global mutations and gradually expanded into the interstellar space. They have currently occupied and developed 5 planets that can be used for human habitation.

After more than a hundred years of development, Beastmasters are not only the main force of interstellar teams, but also an indispensable existence in all aspects of modern social life.

Construction, logistics, without the help of pets, humans can hardly take a single step.

But not everyone can become a beastmaster.

There are two initial conditions for making a contract with a spirit beast. One is that the spiritual awareness development reaches 5%. For most ordinary people, the level of spiritual awareness development can only reach 15%-18% in their lifetime.

There are also a small number of people who, no matter how hard they try, cannot develop their spiritual awareness beyond 5%.

In addition, the contracted spirit beast must also have pet affinity attributes. Researchers divide affinity attributes into six levels: extremely low, below standard, up to standard, good, excellent, and extremely high.

Only when you meet the standards can you make a contract with a spirit beast, otherwise the spirit beast will be extremely resistant and the contract will fail.

According to statistics, the number of people whose pet affinity attributes meet the standards barely reaches half of the total population.

Fortunately, 72 years ago, the Interstellar Federation Spiritual Plant Research Center made a huge breakthrough and found some spiritual plants that can contract with humans.

When the level of spiritual awareness development reaches 2%, you can make a contract with a spiritual plant and become a spiritual plant master.

Most of the spiritual plants that can be contracted are fruit trees and grains, which provide assistance to pets.

Although the current level of compatibility between spiritual plants and humans, as well as humans' level of cultivation of spiritual plants, is far inferior to the beast taming system, it has also given many people the opportunity to improve their lives.

Coincidentally, most people who do not have affinity for pet animals have affinity for spiritual plants.

Ge Bai was not too worried about the self-affinity attribute test at this time.

It is indeed just like what the passerby said just now, the more highly developed a person's independent spiritual awareness is, the higher the chance of having a high pet affinity attribute.

In this era, being able to contract a pet and become a beastmaster is everyone's pursuit.

As for spiritual plant masters, they are a far worse choice than beast tamers.

Walking out of the test building, Ge Bai passed by the eagle and peregrine falcon docking point and looked at the tall and handsome eagles and peregrine falcons standing neatly in the docking area planned on the roadside.

Drivers wearing helmets and uniforms would solicit customers around the peregrine falcons, and from time to time they would help their falcons comb their feathers. The big birds, which are much taller than humans, would then lower their heads and rub against the drivers affectionately.

"Little girl, today Eagle Didi is giving out special coupons to students. You can enjoy a 50% discount on our Eagle Didi." The driver saw that Ge Bai looked like a student and hurried forward to solicit her.

The peregrine falcon with brown background and black feathers also flapped its wings cooperatively, raised its head high, and showed Ge Bai a muscular side neck profile.

Seeing this made Ge Bai feel itchy, and he thought, "Why not find a large bird as the first pet contract? It's really cool."

Despite what he was thinking, Ge Bai touched his pocket and shook his head firmly.

To take the Falcon back to the Blue Star Welfare Home, even with a half-price coupon, it would cost 12 Alliance Coins. Taking the bus back would only cost 1 Alliance Coin.

The alliance's suspended electric bus is actually not slow. Now I can take the bus back without delaying helping Teacher Xiaolu cook.

"Abi, Abi." As soon as Ge Bai walked to the door of the Blue Star Welfare Home, he saw Comilla lying on the eucalyptus tree in the yard waving her right paw at him.

Ge Bai hurriedly quickened his pace, walked under the eucalyptus tree, and opened his arms, "Bibi, are you waiting for me?"

The chubby gray-haired Comilla, who was only as tall as an adult's thigh, slowly climbed down the tree trunk. Halfway up, Ge Bai couldn't wait any longer and hugged him in his arms.

Komila did not resist. She hugged Gebai's neck, rested her head on Gebai's shoulder, and shouted "Abi Abi".

"Eat less eucalyptus leaves. You'll become stupid if you eat too much!"

"Abby! Abby!"

"Even if it tastes good, you should eat less. I'll bring you some sweet dream fruit when I come back tonight. It's not any better than eucalyptus leaves."

"Abby."

This Comilla named Bibi is Teacher Xiaolu's pet. Although its evolution level is only level 2, which is far from the standard of a war beast, it has a gentle nature and can take good care of the little ones in the welfare home.

Ge Bai and Bibi almost grew up together.

Holding Komila, Ge Bai went straight to the kitchen, where Teacher Xiaolu and two other aunts were busy.

"Baibai is back?"

"The test results are good, right?"

Ge Bai greeted the aunts with a smile, walked over to sit next to Teacher Xiaolu, and helped her pick vegetables. Everyone was even happier after hearing the results of Ge Bai's spiritual awareness development test.

"Stop working so hard and take a rest. You still have to go to the research institute in the afternoon to test your affinity attributes." Teacher Xiaolu is in his early 30s, not tall, and appears particularly gentle.

She is the daughter of the old director of the Blue Star Welfare Home. The old director passed away a few years ago, and it was she who single-handedly supported the Blue Star Welfare Home.

"It's okay. It's not like your affinity attribute will be higher if you take a break." Ge Bai shook his head, his hands continuing to move.

She can still clearly remember that 16 years ago, the teenage teacher Xiaolu carried her in from the door in her cradle.

At that time, Teacher Xiaolu was so busy making milk powder, but she still raised me little by little, like a mother and a sister.

Teacher Xiaolu did not insist. He shook the water off his hands and tapped Ge Bai's forehead. "You are the only one who has a lot of reasons."

"Have Wu Dami and Liu Hao returned? What were their test results?"

"I came back an hour earlier than you. Da Mi is at 5.7% and Hao Hao is at 6.2%. They should be checking the homework of the little ones in the activity room right now."

There are only three of them in the third grade of junior high school in the Blue Star Welfare Home this year. Hearing this result, Ge Bai paused for a moment, but did not say a word.

Teacher Xiaolu understood what she wanted to ask, and said gently: "They just told me that they have already thought about it. After the affinity test is completed this afternoon, it doesn't matter whether it is an affinity spirit beast or an affinity spirit plant."

"I won't go to full-time high school anymore. I'll go apply for a loan tomorrow, choose a contract partner, submit my resume, find a job, and go to night school. I'll be able to support myself in the end. I'm a good kid."

This is the cruelty of this era.

Federal compulsory education is only 9 years, and high school is divided into full-time high school and part-time night school.

Every junior high school student faces a major life decision.

Although in theory as long as one can make a contract with a spiritual beast or spiritual plant, one is eligible to enroll in a full-time high school.

However, not every family can afford the high tuition fees of high schools and the cost of purchasing and cultivating spiritual animals and plants.

Therefore, many children from poor families and orphans in welfare institutions like Ge Bai and others mostly choose a part-time work and study model.

He bought a spiritual beast by taking out a loan, worked during the day to repay the loan, squeezed out money to buy medicine for breeding the spiritual beast, and went to night school at night.

However, in this case, the training of spiritual beasts will naturally be much slower. Not to mention evolving into war beasts, it will be difficult for them to survive and they may spend their entire lives doing nothing.

Although the purchase and cultivation of spiritual plants saves money than spiritual beasts, the current growth ceiling of spiritual plant masters is too low and they basically have no independent combat capabilities.

Most of them can only become senior gardeners, or become raw material suppliers for spiritual beast pharmaceutical companies.

Even if the most outstanding spiritual plant masters have the opportunity to join the interstellar team, they can only serve in logistical support and auxiliary roles, so full-time high schools are extremely strict in enrolling spiritual plant masters.

This results in most of the spiritual plant masters seen in high schools and universities being leisurely kids from wealthy families or children of officials.

Ge Bai didn't want to live her life again as a social slave. Even in her previous life, she was a high-level social slave with an annual income of one million.

From the beginning to the end, her only path was to be an outstanding student.

Basic outstanding students are required to develop their spiritual consciousness by 10% and to form a contract with a spiritual beast, and they can be exempted from high school tuition.

In addition, two provincial key high schools, Shenglan High School and Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 High School, have also opened special recruitment channels for outstanding students.

The special recruitment adopts a pet battle mode. The five winners will not only be exempted from high school tuition, but the school will also provide high scholarships, which is more than enough to cover the general pet purchase costs.

Last year, the No. 1 seed player selected by Jinggang City for the Star League match was a special recruit from Shenglan High School. It is said that he also came from a poor family.

So ever since Ge Bai learned the meditation method, she has been practicing day and night. At this time last year, she felt that her spiritual development had reached a bottleneck and there was no way to improve it again.

It’s just that due to the inability to test myself, I don’t know what my exact level is. I only found out today that it’s stuck at 9.9%.

Have you ever heard of a teenager under 16 years old having a block in their spiritual development? Ah, usually people over 50 years old will reach the limit of their spiritual development.

Ge Bai felt a little uneasy, wondering if it was because his soul and body were not in harmony.

She prayed silently: "I hope the affinity test goes well."

--------

15:30 pm, Affinity Attribute Testing Center of Beijing-Hong Kong Research Institute.

"Name: Ge Bai"

"Spiritual awareness development level: 9.9%"

"Pet affinity attribute: not up to standard"

"Spiritual Plant Affinity Attribute: Very High"

"Career plan: It is recommended to make a contract with a spirit plant and become a spirit plant master."

A clear mechanical female voice entered Ge Bai's ears, exploding like thunder.

The testers around were whispering as they looked at the data.

"This is the first time I've seen such a high level of spiritual awareness development but no affinity with pets."

"what a shame."

"But her affinity with spiritual plants is 'extremely high', which is rare."

"What's the use? No matter how high you are, you are just a spiritual plant master."

Ge Bai gritted his teeth and forced himself to step down from the testing equipment.

She knew that this evil God didn't want her to have an easy life.

Others' rebirths are all smooth sailing, with systems to help them. Not to mention myself, an orphan at the beginning. I have worked hard for almost 16 years, but I haven't even seen a system.

I had almost given up and was ready to carve out a path on my own, but ended up digging such a big hole on the way!

Ge Bai was about to collapse. She didn't know why she had been practicing meditation all these years.

You know, she has almost chosen the pet, and planned the early training plan over and over again. She knows exactly what potions have what effects and how much they cost.

She was even prepared for a special recruitment battle. She had watched countless videos of pet beast battles and practiced commanding pet beast battles countless times in her mind.

Now, it's all useless. She really doesn't know what to do in the future, raise a fruit tree as a social animal?
He returned to the Blue Star Welfare Home in a daze. Teacher Xiaolu was standing at the gate holding Bibi. Ge Bai forced himself to smile at Teacher Xiaolu.

She didn't know that the smile she forced with her pale face and stiff muscles was really ugly.

Teacher Xiaolu understood everything when he saw Ge Bai like this. He didn't need to ask any more questions, but he just felt particularly distressed.

She put Bibi down and walked forward to hug the little girl.

Bibi also sensed Ge Bai's sadness, and crawled to her side, hugging her legs tightly.

"Go back to your room and rest for a while. Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine."

Teacher Xiaolu's comfort seemed particularly powerless.

Ge Bai nodded, rubbed his face hard on Teacher Xiaolu's shoulder, his eyes red, and rushed back to the girls' dormitory with his head lowered.

Teacher Xiaolu looked at Ge Bai's back and sighed deeply.

For such a hard-working girl, this blow was really too big for her.

----

Midnight, in the girls’ dormitory of Blue Star Welfare Home.

Ge Bai covered himself with the quilt, and unusually, he did not meditate, but just stared blankly with his eyes open.

She had long forgotten what day it was and had no expectations.

But sometimes, surprises come unexpectedly.
