Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

"The minimum price for a low-grade diamond-quality cub is over 5 billion Alliance Coins, and the supply still can't meet the demand. Most of the transactions are over 20 billion Alliance Coins."

Li Lang sighed: "Even so, it's still priceless and unavailable; you have to make a reservation in advance to buy it."

Zhou Heng was very puzzled: "It's only 20 billion Alliance Coins, it's not like your family doesn't have that kind of money."

"You're right, my family can indeed afford it, but as you know, my parents have more than one son. My brother is also an A-level talent, and he needs more resources in college."

Li Lang didn't mince words and told the truth directly: "Although my sister only has a B-level talent, she is naturally beautiful. She has caught the eye of a talented, well-connected, and young fifth-level warrior beast tamer. According to the rules, my sister is considered to be marrying above her station, and we should prepare a lot of dowry for her."

Zhou Heng frowned slightly: "You can't just think about others; you have to think more about yourself."

"I know what you mean, but my talent is best paired with a beast with outstanding natural defense. Although the Ice Giant Bear is currently of a lower quality, I really like this beast. Anyway, it can continue to evolve in the future."

Li Lang laughed freely: "After careful consideration, I directly contracted the Frost Giant Bear issued by the Alliance, instead of having my parents buy me a new Beast Taming Cub."

Frost Giant Bear, top-tier gold quality.

Zhou Heng comforted him, "Your consideration is very appropriate. Besides, we Beast Tamers aren't limited to contracting only one beast. Even if the Frost Giant Bear doesn't evolve, we'll still have the opportunity to contract a diamond-quality beast in the future."

"Actually, I'm already satisfied with having a high-quality gold-grade beast. At least I have A-level talent, which guarantees me a place in university."

Li Lang was an optimist: "Moreover, the Frost Giant Bear has great potential, its evolution path is very clear, and it is extremely compatible with my talents. Rather than buying a diamond-quality beast that is not suitable for me, I would rather save the money and help the Frost Giant Bear evolve to diamond quality."

It was very difficult to get into university in this era; there were only ten Beast Taming Universities in the entire East Asia.

Ordinary universities were all abolished thousands of years ago.

Therefore, the threshold for university students is very high for ordinary beast tamers.

Only by becoming a Tier 3 Elite Beast Tamer upon graduating from high school can one take the college entrance examination and be guaranteed admission to university.

Many classmates nearby overheard Zhou Heng and Li Lang's conversation, their expressions incredibly complex.

High-end diamonds are out of reach for them, and the same is true for high-end gold.

Most of them are already incredibly lucky to be able to contract a silver-quality beast cub.

Many people can only contract a single bronze-quality beast.

Because those with B-rank talents or below cannot receive discounted Beast Taming from the Alliance, they must purchase it themselves.

Even the lowest-grade, lower-level bronze-quality beast cub costs over 300,000 Alliance Coins.

Silver-quality Beast Taming Cubs have been sold for over five million Alliance Coins.

Many students' parents are not beast tamers, but just ordinary people.

An average person can only earn a few thousand yuan a month.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan are nothing to second-generation rich kids like Zhou Heng and Li Lang, but for students from ordinary families, it's still very difficult to come up with such a sum.

Therefore, many students choose to take out student loans in order to contract a better quality beast cub.

However, the amount of student loans is limited, and they must be repaid after graduation.

Compared to second-generation students like Zhou Heng and Li Lang, students from ordinary families were at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Zhou Heng recalled carefully: "I remember that the Frost Giant Bear has an advantage over other high-grade gold-quality beasts, which is that it can evolve directly at the second stage."

Li Lang smiled and nodded, his face full of anticipation: "That's right. Ordinary gold-quality beasts can only undergo the evolution ritual at the third tier. So I'm quite lucky. Among the beasts issued by the alliance, there just happens to be one that suits me. Once I reach the second tier, I can start working on evolving the Frost Giant Bear into the Frost Bear King."

Zhou Heng changed the subject: "How will the classes be divided this time?"

Li Lang casually said, "Let's stick to the old system and divide it into five levels: Rocket Class, Sprint Class, Excellent Class, Regular Class, and Poor Student Class."

The "rocket class" guarantees a place in university.

The cram school is the one that gives you a chance to get into university.

The top class is the kind of class that, although they are unlikely to go to university, can still live a comfortable life after entering society.

The ordinary class means becoming just another face in the crowd, becoming a mere laborer among the beast tamers.

The underachieving class is the class that will become the lowest-level beast tamers in the future, like floor tiles among beast tamers, only able to show off their power among ordinary people.

Of course, as long as you can become a beast tamer and work a little harder, life after graduation won't be too bad.

As they were talking, a middle-aged man in a black coat, who looked refined and polite, walked into the classroom.

It was none other than Xu Weiran, one of the six deans of students at No. 3 Middle School, a fourth-tier master beast tamer with excellent theoretical knowledge, who surpassed most ordinary fifth-tier warrior beast tamers in teaching.

The classroom fell silent instantly.

As soon as he entered, he focused his gaze on Zhou Heng and Li Lang, clearly indicating that he had come specifically for them.

Xu Weiran announced loudly, "Dear students, please gather on the playground within ten minutes. The principal will personally reassign you to classes! The reassignment will be quick, so please don't bring your chairs."

Upon hearing this, everyone got up and walked out of the classroom.

A large group of people arrived at the playground.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the principal of No. 3 Middle School immediately walked up to the platform: "Hello everyone, today is the first day that you have formed a contract with the Beast Tamer cubs. I will be reassigning you to classes."

"According to past practice, the 30,000 students will be divided into 41 classes."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School, a fifth-tier warrior and beast tamer, could project his voice across the entire playground without needing a megaphone: "First, here is the list of students in the Rocket Class: Zhou Heng, Liu Yao, Li Lang, Gao Wenwu... Congratulations to these nine students for becoming members of the Rocket Class in the first year of high school!"

Zhou Heng immediately walked to the front of everyone with Li Lang.

There were seven other students next to them.

Among these nine people, two have S-level talent and seven have A-level talent.

These are the nine most talented students in the entire Third High School, so they will be assigned to the same advanced class.

The Rocket Class consists of only one class and no longer has serial numbers.

Zhou Heng glanced at Liu Yao and noticed that Liu Yao's expression was normal, as if he didn't care that he had snatched the first contracted beast cub spot at the entrance of the Beast Tamer Guild.

However, Zhou Heng knew this was just an illusion; there was already a rift between him and Liu Yao.

But he wasn't worried about it because he had powerful backers.
