Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

On the second and third days of the Lunar New Year, Gu Ling accompanied Xiang Jinli to visit relatives.

The older generation of the Gu family has all passed away. Gu Mingsheng only has one younger sister, who is Gu Ling's aunt. She has started her own family and lives in another province, rarely returning to this place each year.

Therefore, in previous years, Gu Ling and her siblings would visit Xiang Jinli's family home and receive a lot of red envelopes along the way.

After spending several more days at home living a blissful, carefree life of "eating when I wake up, playing when I'm full, and sleeping when I'm tired," Gu Ling finally felt that it was time for her to stand up for herself.

Damn it! I can't let Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost drag me down with them anymore!

She's a beast tamer! She needs to set a good example for her pets!

These days, Gu Ling wasn't just eating, drinking, and having fun. She would occasionally browse the Pet Beast Guild's official website task platform to see if there were any suitable tasks to complete.

After some deliberation, Gu Ling selected three suitable tasks, but these tasks all had time conflicts, so she could only choose one to complete.

【Task 1】: More than 30 wild iron-toothed rats have appeared in the western urban area of ​​Fangcao County, randomly gnawing on residents' daily necessities and food, seriously affecting the lives of nearby residents.

【Task 2】: A large number of black mud ants have appeared in Hongye Village, encroaching on farmers' uncultivated farmland and affecting spring planting.

【Task 3】: The peacocks in the Bishulan Nature Reserve are in a critical period of breeding and mating, but are being harassed and frightened by their natural enemy, the mad pheasant, which is seriously affecting the breeding progress of the peacock flock.

Gu Ling hesitated to make up her mind about which one to choose, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Mengran.

"How about we ask Professor Zhou Mengran for her advice first?"

She's a good student.

When in doubt, you should definitely ask your teacher.

Therefore, Gu Ling forwarded the links to the three tasks she had selected during the pause to Zhou Mengran and explained her intentions.

[Teacher Zhou, I'd like to take on an assignment during the winter break. Could you help me decide which of these three assignments to choose?]

[Link][Link][Link]

After sending the message, Gu Ling could only wait for Zhou Mengran's reply.

Although there are many tasks in the Pet Guild, there are also many competitors. After all, this is a major way for Beast Tamers to make money. If you don't accept the order quickly when you find a suitable task, it will soon be taken by someone else.

Gu Ling used the platform's "reservation function" to reserve these three tasks for one hour. During this hour, no other beast tamer could accept the task except for Gu Ling. After one hour, if Gu Ling did not confirm the task, the reserved task would be made available to other people.

Gu Ling swiped her finger across the WeChat interface a few times. Seeing that the "newbie group" for the guaranteed admission training camp had 99+ messages, she casually clicked in and scrolled up to read the messages.

Since joining the group chat for the college entrance exam preparation camp, Gu Ling has not said a word.

Because Gu Ling didn't recognize anyone inside except for Ye Wuyan.

Although she didn't speak, Gu Ling had been silently watching the chat and learned a lot of information from the other people's conversations.

The training courses at the admission training camp are different from those in ordinary schools; they are more like closed-off, military-style training.

The pre-admission training camp lasts for three months. Every ten days, there will be a small test to weed out the weak and promote the strong. The bottom 10 students in each cohort will be eliminated.

In the end, only half of the trainees, that is, the remaining 100 trainees, will take the final assessment.

Although there is no specific quota for the number of students who can graduate smoothly, the pass rate for the final assessment is generally around 5-10% each year.

In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the number of students who successfully graduate will be at most around 20.

The number of spots for regular students who successfully graduate is already so small, let alone those who want to stand out and become outstanding graduates.

"It's too difficult... Being an outstanding graduate isn't necessarily a requirement, is it?" Gu Ling silently comforted herself.

Whether I can graduate smoothly is still uncertain.

As a person, you must never be overly ambitious; you should always be down-to-earth!

That's right! That's exactly the mindset we need!

o(TヘTo) But...

There are so many resources and subsidies for outstanding graduates!

After scrolling through the unread messages, which were mostly trivial chats, Gu Ling left the group chat for the guaranteed admission training camp. Glancing at the pinned message, she saw that Zhou Mengran had sent a new message and quickly clicked on it.

Of these three missions, I prefer the third one. The mission location is in a protected area on the outskirts of the city. As far as I know, the training grounds for the escort training camp are usually located in some deep mountains and forests in the wild. The first two missions are located in urban areas.

[Since the winter break training is aimed at securing a spot in the training camp, choosing missions in the suburbs would be better, allowing for more interaction with wild pet groups. You'll have plenty of opportunities to take on missions in the city later.]

When Zhou Mengran mentioned that the training camps for guaranteed admission were all located deep in the mountains and forests, Gu Ling couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could it be... that the training camp for guaranteed admission will send students to the wilderness for real combat training?

If that's the case, then choosing [Task 3] is indeed the most suitable option for her.

[The details of Mission 3 are that you need to learn about the breeding of wild pets. I majored in combat in college, so I only have a general understanding of various pets. You can consult Senior Ye about this.]

[He is Professor Ye Hui's son and student. He majored in research during his university years. Professor Ye Hui's research topic for many years is the harmonious coexistence of humans and wild animals. He should know more about this than I do.]

Zhou Mengran's idea was simple: Ye Wuyan should have returned to Shanghai University by now. Even if Ye Wuyan was unreliable, he still had Professor Ye Hui by his side.

When Zhou Mengran was studying at Shanghai University, Professor Ye Hui was already a national treasure-level researcher in Longxuan Kingdom. She rarely taught students in person anymore, and only gave a few public lectures every year. But every lecture was packed. As long as you get a few pointers from Professor Ye Hui, you can benefit greatly.

Gu Ling: [Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhou.]

Zhou Mengran: [You're welcome.]

[......]

Gu Ling entered the chat interface with Ye Wuyan, pondering, "Senior Ye is a graduate student..."

Gu Ling had previously searched for Ye Wuyan's information and knew that Ye Wuyan's university major was research. In addition, Ye Wuyan also said that he was not a combat major during the friendly match in Hailan City.

only……

Ye Wuyan's achievements were so dazzling that many people subconsciously overlooked the fact that Ye Wuyan did not major in combat during his university years, but rather in research.

"Let's ask Senior Ye first."

Task 3 primarily aims to help wild blue peacocks successfully mate and reproduce.

Although Gu Ling had worked as a temporary worker in the nature reserve in Nanping County for a few days and had some contact with wild animals, there was a difference between observing and taking notes and personally caring for them.

Not to mention that the wild pet animal Gu Ling encountered this time was not the Thunder Seal Cat that Gu Ling was more familiar with, but an unfamiliar Blue Peacock.

So, Gu Ling forwarded the messages she had just sent to Zhou Mengran to Ye Wuyan one by one, without changing them.
