Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

"Wait a moment, let me confirm first." Gu Ling smiled, revealing the smile of a well-behaved student, then picked up her phone and dialed Ye Wuyan's number directly.

"Senior Ye... oh right, right..."

"There's this guy named Wang Bing... who's been following me ever since I left the reserve. I found out, and now he's saying he'll take me to a training camp. Is that true? Isn't the camp supposed to start next month?"

"Could it be some kind of scam? Is there a reward for reporting it?"

Gu Ling lowered her voice slightly before saying the last sentence, but Wang Bing, with his sharp ears, still heard it.

Wang Bing: "..." Are all kids these days so cunning?

"Frog~" the swamp frog suddenly croaked.

Wang Bing immediately turned his head and glared fiercely at the swamp frog: Still mocking him? I wonder who failed to protect him just now and watched him make a fool of himself!

"Frog~" The swamp frog looked completely innocent.

After a friendly conversation with Ye Wuyan, confirming Wang Bing's true identity, Gu Ling hung up the phone and turned to look at Wang Bing with a smile:

"Okay, it's alright, let's go."

After getting into the car, Wang Bing finally regained his calm and composed demeanor: "...Ahem, Gu Ling, first put your two pets back into your pet space, then put on this blindfold."

As he spoke, Wang Bing handed over a black eye mask.

"Why so mysterious?" Gu Ling took the blindfold, muttered to herself, and turned to Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost, saying, "You two go into the pet space first, and I'll call you out when we get there."

Now that it was confirmed that Wang Bing was the instructor of the training camp, Gu Ling was no longer afraid that he would abduct her.

After returning Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost to their pet space, Gu Ling obediently put on the black eye mask.

"..."

After losing her sight, Gu Ling's other senses became more acute.

At first, Gu Ling was interested in noting down the road conditions along the way, but after the bread truck had been driving for three or four hours, Gu Ling, who was just sitting there, had given up.

Gu Ling slumped in her seat, listening to the car's music with boredom.

After the van finally came to a complete stop, Gu Ling was told that the road ahead was difficult for the van to travel on, and they would need to switch to another mode of transportation—a helicopter.

Where are we going?

As they boarded the helicopter, Gu Ling couldn't help but ask a question.

This involved several transfers and the deployment of a helicopter; quite a large-scale operation.

"It's not a big deal."

Wang Bing spoke calmly, as if chatting casually over a meal, before dropping a bombshell: "This is the first assessment for you new recruits upon entering the camp."

Gu Ling: ?

"The first test upon entering the camp? What is that?"

Wang Bing glanced at the blue sky and white clouds rushing past the window and said, "It will take a little more time to reach our destination. Let me explain the rules and content of the assessment to you first."

"This assessment requires you to survive alone in the wild and reach the finish line within ten days. If you fail to reach the finish line within the time limit or give up halfway, you will be eliminated."

"Ten days?" Gu Ling counted on her fingers. Today is the 19th, and in ten days it will be March 1st, which is exactly the opening date of the guaranteed admission training camp.

If you get eliminated, wouldn't you be sent home before even seeing the gates of the training camp for guaranteed admission?

Gu Ling continued, "Where exactly is the location in the wild?"

Wang Bing replied, "We'll assign you randomly. It could be in a jungle, a wasteland, or a mountainous area... In short, it will be a place that none of you trainees have ever set foot in before."

"A place I've never been before?" Gu Ling couldn't help but feel troubled.

Doesn't that mean we didn't say anything at all?

She had never left the city for the countryside, so she could have been dumped in any remote wilderness. There was no way she could guess where she would be taken.

After getting off the plane, Gu Ling was finally allowed to take off her blindfold.

What comes into view is a dense forest, with no human presence around, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees that you can't find in the city.

Wang Bing retrieved a backpack from the helicopter and tossed it to Gu Ling: "Inside the backpack are three days' worth of food and water for you and your pet, a map, and a set of high-level passive energy protective gear."

"Put on the protective gear first. It will only activate its energy shield when you are in mortal danger and you cannot handle it. Its defensive strength can withstand the attack of a lord-level pet. However, although it can save your life in critical moments, when it is triggered, it means that you have failed this test."

Following Wang Bing's instructions, Gu Ling put on what looked like a wrist guard on her right wrist.

Soon, Wang Bing deployed another gray drone, which circled around the two of them.

"This is a drone that will be with you 24 hours a day. We will monitor your situation in real time through the drone. If you want to give up halfway, just shout 'give up' into the drone, and someone will come to pick you up within three minutes."

With the dual security of protective gear and drones, and perhaps the training camp is also secretly sending beast tamers or pets to protect her, Gu Ling doesn't need to worry too much about her safety.

only……

Gu Ling opened her backpack and rummaged through its contents: "Really only three days' worth of food and water?"

Moreover, these foods and waters are best suited to meet Gu Ling's basic needs. They are clearly products from the Pet Alliance, such as compressed biscuits and canned food that have no appetite and only aim to fill the stomach and be portable.

"Yes, once the food and water are used up, you'll have to take care of your own food needs."

Wang Bing put his hands on his hips, rarely seeing Gu Ling with a depressed expression, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and say, "Of course, you can also pass the test within three days, then you won't have to worry about food."

To everyone's surprise, Gu Ling nodded shamelessly: "Yes, you really have faith in me. I will work hard."

Wang Bing: "..." Can't this kid tell that this is just a joke?

If trainees could easily pass the assessment in three days, there wouldn't be a ten-day assessment period.

"...Ahem, is there anything else you don't understand?" Wang Bing changed the subject, wanting only to finish his part of the work quickly so he could leave as soon as possible.

This little devil is really a handful!

"Oh, I have another question." Gu Ling zipped up her backpack and pointed to the suitcase next to her. "Can I bring my luggage with me?"

Wang Bing nodded slightly: "If you don't mind the trouble, you can bring it, but I suggest you travel light."

"If you encounter a wild animal, you won't be able to escape with such a big suitcase. You'll just have to abandon it anyway. It's better to leave it with me for safekeeping."

Gu Ling waved her hand, not caring at all: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm not afraid of trouble."

Now that she had confirmed she could bring her own belongings to the assessment, Gu Ling no longer needed to hide anything. She immediately summoned Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost, and said to the mischievous ghost:

"You little rascal, you're keeping my luggage safe." (End of Chapter)
