Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 4 Jian Qingqiu, why are you so good to Jiang Chen?

In the spacious office, Jian Qingqiu sat on a bamboo chair, her two long, shapely legs crossed, a playful strand of black hair falling down her temple, teasing her exquisitely sculpted face.

Upon closer inspection, the homeroom teacher, Jian Qingqiu, is even more beautiful.

Her bright, star-like eyes gazed at Jiang Chen as she slowly said, "Jiang Chen, I've applied for the animal care staff position at the school's petting zoo for you. You can report it tomorrow."

"I managed to negotiate a raise for you, by 200, making it 2000 yuan a month, but this will mean your workload will be heavier."

"Thank you so much, Ms. Jian!"

It doesn't matter how much money I make, the most important thing is that I, Jiang Chen, love working!

Jiang Chen said with delight, his eyes filled with excitement!

A petting zoo has been specially created in the waters behind the school, where many pet animals are kept.

These pets require manpower for daily feeding, care, and training. However, these positions are highly competitive. Jiang Chen had applied for them a long time ago, but had not been approved yet.

Jiang Chen had already given up, but unexpectedly Jian Qingqiu gave him some good news!

And most importantly now, with the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" and the position of breeder, he might be able to get some marine beast essence blood!

He remembered that there was an elite two-tailed fishing cat in the school's petting zoo!

If we can obtain the other party's essence blood, Xiao Jiu's advancement will immediately become much easier!

"By the way, Teacher Jian, how can we beast tamers improve our physique?" Jiang Chen asked again.

The "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" is his most important asset for turning the tide, so he must improve his physical condition as soon as possible in order to become stronger faster.

"Improve your physique?" Upon hearing Jiang Chen's question, Jian Qingqiu was clearly taken aback and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise: "As our beast tamers' cultivation improves, the strength of our pets will gradually be reflected back to the beast tamers, so you don't need to specifically improve your physique."

Of course I know that as a beast tamer's cultivation level increases, their physique will gradually become stronger.

The problem is that the pet's feedback on its strength improvement is not much and is very slow, not enough for the little yellow book to absorb!

At the current rate of absorption, he'll probably die from exhaustion before he even gets a few uses of the erotic novel...

He almost died the last time he tried to extract the whale's breath meditation technique, and he certainly didn't want to experience that again...

"If you really want to improve your physique, then you can only become a [Body Cultivator]," Jian Qingqiu said.

"A body cultivator?"

"It's based on the cultivation methods of some sea beasts, using spiritual energy to temper the body, but the process is extremely difficult and painful."

"I'm not very clear about the specific cultivation methods either. You can go to Vice Principal Zhao; he should know."

"Vice Principal Zhao? Thank you, Teacher Jian, I understand!" Jiang Chen thanked him again.

Jian Qingqiu's clear pupils reflected Jiang Chen's handsome face. Her rosy lips moved slightly, and she still advised:

"Jiang Chen, the most important thing for us beast tamers is the training and improvement of our pets' strength. If you try to learn other things in the process, it is easy to end up in an awkward situation where you are not good at either and are mediocre at both. You need to distinguish between what is important and what is not."

"I won't interfere with the Beast Tamer's cultivation, Teacher Jian, don't worry!" Knowing that Jian Qingqiu was worried about him, Jiang Chen felt a warmth in his heart and replied earnestly.

"Okay." After exchanging a few more words, Jiang Chen left.

As Jiang Chen walked out of the office and sat down next to Jian Qingqiu, a female teacher wearing black glasses nudged Jian Qingqiu with her elbow and chuckled jokingly said:

"Qingqiu, you seem to take good care of this student. This isn't the first time you've helped him get a part-time job at the school."

Jian Qingqiu's beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise, then she looked at the other person with a look of astonishment: "He's so handsome, isn't it normal for me to take extra care of him?"

The female teacher with dark glasses was speechless: "Too...too normal!"

Seeing that she had successfully silenced the other party, Jian Qingqiu's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled smugly.

However, she seemed to have thought of something else and sighed softly, "Jiang Chen's family is quite poor. I'll help them as much as I can!"

The female teacher with dark glasses paused for a moment, then asked, "Hmm, how is it difficult?"

"Jiang Chen's parents were soldiers in the front-line Beast Taming Corps. Three years ago, during a sea beast attack, Jiang Chen's mother died on the spot."

Jian Qingqiu said, "Although his father survived, he suffered brain damage and became a vegetable, having been bedridden for three years."

"Wh...what?" The female teacher with dark glasses gasped.

Three years ago, Jiang Chen was only fifteen years old. He bravely supported the entire family on his own, working part-time, cultivating diligently, and taking care of his father.

"He earned all of his living expenses, tuition fees, and pet training costs on his own."

"Fortunately, Jiang Chen's father was a soldier of the country, and the country covered almost all the expenses; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to go to school."

The female teacher with dark glasses fell silent, her face flushing with embarrassment. She had just teased such an independent and self-reliant student, which was really inappropriate.

In the vice principal's office.

"You said you want to become a body cultivator?"

Vice Principal Zhao Zhong was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies with gray hair and a thin face. He was originally engrossed in handling official business on the table, but after hearing Jiang Chen's request, he immediately showed the same astonished expression as Jian Qingqiu.

He put down the documents and pen in his hand, as if he had heard something very interesting.

He raised his head, his sharp eyes scrutinizing the student before him from head to toe.

He glanced at everything else quickly, but when his gaze passed over Jiang Chen's face, it lingered for a moment.

Zhao Zhong hesitated for a moment, then said, "You're... well, very handsome!"

"It would be a waste for someone with your looks to become a body cultivator."

Jiang Chen was taken aback: "Becoming a body cultivator will disfigure you?"

Zhao Zhong replied, "The so-called body cultivators are those who cultivate the human body!"

"This cultivation method was created by imitating the cultivation methods of some sea beasts. In this process, the body cultivator needs to constantly refine their qi and blood and temper their body."

"For example, the first stage of body refinement, [Copper Skin], requires the body refiner to constantly strike wooden stakes, move stone locks, and strike iron sand, etc."

"It can be said that during this process, the practitioner's skin will begin to become rough and turn yellow."

"Think about it, if your face turned bronze, would you still look good?"

Zhao Zhong's words were incredibly effective at dissuading people from giving up!

After all, there are so many men in Ningshui Town, and even in Rongcheng City, but it's really, really hard to find a man as handsome as Jiang Chen or any of you readers!

Almost none!

Jiang Chen never expected that trying to improve his physical physique would have such a side effect!

Jiang Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable: "Principal Zhao, does body tempering always make you ugly?"

Zhao Zhong replied, "I don't know any special body-refining techniques."

Jiang Chen's eyes had barely lit up when Zhao Zhong immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "We don't have such a body-refining technique in Ning Shui Town. Rong Cheng might have it, but why would anyone give it to you?"

The hope that had just risen in Jiang Chen's heart was immediately extinguished again!

In this world where the beast taming system reigns supreme, the number of body cultivators is already extremely small!

Let alone whether Jiang Chen can find it, even if he can, the other party may not be willing to teach him!

This road is blocked again!

"Furthermore, not all body cultivators are ugly or have exaggeratedly large figures. When you achieve success in body cultivation, you will return to your natural state, and your physique will gradually return to normal," Zhao Zhong added.

"Then I'll give it a try!" Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then said through gritted teeth.

With the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" available, no matter how much Jiang Chen struggles, becoming a body cultivator is inevitable.

If there has to be a sacrifice between ability and looks, then it has to be giving up looks.

Moreover, Zhao Zhong just said that if one's cultivation is successful, one's appearance can be restored.

Zhao Zhong nodded calmly, seemingly unsurprised by Jiang Chen's choice.

He knew that his words "successful cultivation" had given Jiang Chen hope.

Seventeen- or eighteen-year-olds are at the most innocent and carefree age of their lives. They always believe that they will be the luckiest, the most unique, and the most special among hundreds of millions of people.

But what they didn't know was that danger and opportunity are always equal; you reap what you sow.

The reason why body cultivators are so rare is not because the beast taming system is more powerful, nor because body cultivation has many drawbacks, but because this path is just too difficult!

The pain and torment on the path of cultivation are comparable to torture, and are simply unbearable for ordinary people.

Every year, some students want to try this path, but only one in ten thousand succeeds!

Even if one succeeds in the end and becomes a body refiner, they will give up as they progress to more difficult body refinement stages!

Zhao Zhong believed that the boy in front of him would soon give up because he couldn't bear the pain and hit a wall.

He opened a drawer to the side, took out a book with its corners rolled up, and threw it to Jiang Chen: "This is the first level of body refinement, the copper skin."

"Practice on your own first, and come ask me if you don't understand anything."

"Yes, Principal." Jiang Chen stepped forward and accepted the document.

P.S.: Please vote! Also, please don't let your books die while you're still reading them; they're easy to kill. Remember to check Qidian every day...
