"The college entrance examination is in a month. It's the final test of your three years of learning. I hope everyone can sprint and achieve good results.”
On the podium, Li Gang looked around and said.
"Students whose battle pets are still growing, work harder and strive to become a black iron-tier beastmaster as soon as possible. That way, you can get a higher salary when you look for a job in the future.”
Su Bai felt uncomfortable looking at his homeroom teacher, Li Gang, who was drooling passionately on the stage.
That's right, he was the only student in the class whose battle pet was still growing!
At the same time, he was also a transmigrator.
Unfortunately, it had been 16 years, and the golden finger had yet to appear.
This world had once developed on the same track as the Blue Planet, but later on, it embarked on a completely different track.
This was the world of beastmasters.
It was a world where anyone could contract a fierce beast and turn it into a battle pet for their own use.
The strength of a battle pet represented a person's social status.
There was still no conclusion as to how the beasts were born. The only thing that could be confirmed was that everything happened 200 years ago.
Overnight, spiritual energy was restored, and animals and plants evolved crazily, attacking humans at the top of the food chain. The technology that humans were proud of only gained a temporary advantage in front of these creatures and soon lost its effect.
In just a year, the humans had lost more than half of their population.
At this moment of life and death, beastmasters appeared among the humans.
A beastmaster could sign a contract with a ferocious beast and command it to fight.
With the continuous increase in beastmasters, humans gained a firm foothold and rebuilt a huge base city. Relying on thick city walls and powerful beastmasters, they survived until now and rebuilt a powerful federal government.
To this day, all humans could contract fierce beasts and become beastmasters.
The federal government would provide vicious beast eggs to citizens when they were thirteen years old to form a contract.
As for what kind of beast he could contract, it was completely random. However, it was generally a low-level beast.
Families with power and influence would naturally prepare suitable vicious beast eggs in advance so that their children could win at the starting line.
Su Bai was born a commoner, and his family conditions didn't allow him to do so. So he could only use the random vicious beast egg provided by the Federation. As expected, he contracted an iron-beak sparrow.
It had been three years, but Su Bai's iron-beak sparrow was still growing and hadn't reached black iron level.
After two hundred years of development, human society had long stabilized. Black Iron beastmasters could only do the lowest level of work. If their battle pets had special functions, they might be able to move up and do slightly better jobs.
But Su Bai's battle pet was the Ironbeak Sparrow, a fierce beast that could only kill caterpillars. Even if it reached black iron level, it would be hard to find a job, not to mention it was still in the growth stage!
Generally speaking, according to the beastmaster's talent and nurture, most battle pets would reach black iron-tier within a year, or two years at the latest.
Su Bai had been contracted for three years and his battle pet was still growing. His future was already decided!
……
"Mr. Li, don't worry. Su Bai is working part-time in my orchard and his performance is outstanding. After the college entrance exam, I will ask dad to make him a full-time employee.”
A young man stood up and said to the middle-aged man on the podium.
Li Gang nodded and said," Yang Lejia, your willingness to help others is commendable. I will apply for a scholarship from the school."”
Then, Li Gang turned to look at Su Bai in the corner of the classroom and said," Su Bai, work hard from now on, got it?”
Su Bai stood up skillfully and said," Mr. Li, I will. Thank you, Student Yang."
Such a situation would happen every few days, and Su Bai was already used to it.
"Do you think there will be black iron level caterpillars? Su Bai, you have to work hard. Don't be chased all over the place.”
"Hahaha, don't worry. The Ironbeak Sparrow is very powerful. Even its beak is made of iron.”
"I'm scared."
“……”
Su Bai remained calm as he listened to the mockery around him.
In the world of beastmasters, strength spoke.
The federal government needed powerful beastmasters to expand their territory and defend cities, constantly raising the status of high-tier beastmasters.
In fact, high-tier beastmasters didn't even need to pay with their lives if they killed civilians. They just needed to pay some compensation!
Su Bai wasn't even a black iron beastmaster; he didn't even have the right to speak in society!
After the pleasantries, Su Bai returned to his seat and stared blankly at the sky outside the window.
By the time Li Gang finished his speech, today's class had come to an end. Su Bai needed to go to another orchard to earn some living expenses.
His job was very simple, which was to kill caterpillars.
Although the caterpillars did not evolve into fierce beasts under the nourishment of spiritual energy, their reproductive ability had been greatly improved. Moreover, the thorns on the surface were poisonous to a certain extent. Without battle pets, it was really difficult for humans to deal with these small things.
In fact, most of the civilians working in the orchards had small bird beasts as their battle pets.
If nothing unexpected happened, Su Bai would have to spend the rest of his life in the orchard.
"Such a life is really boring." Su Bai walked out of the school and muttered to himself.
He came to the orchard with ease. Su Bai looked at the caterpillars on the branches and frowned." These caterpillars are hunted down to nearly a hundred every day, but they still can't suppress their numbers!”
However, if it wasn't for such a terrifying reproduction speed, how could he have gotten this part-time job?
There was nothing much to say.
Su Bai summoned the iron-beak sparrow from the battle pet space and started his work for the day.
He worked here for four hours every day after school, and his pay was twenty Federation coins, which was considered pretty good.
After all, his parents only earned 100 federal coins a day.
The iron-beak sparrow flew onto Su Bai's shoulder as soon as it came out of the space. It rubbed against Su Bai's cheek affectionately and chirped.
Looking at the fist-sized iron-beak sparrow, Su Bai's frown relaxed and he muttered to himself," Maybe it's not bad to be a keeper of an orchard. At least I won't starve to death and I don't have to fight with fierce beasts.”
"Yeah, it's pretty good."
"But why am I so unwilling?”
"Why?"
As if sensing Su Bai's grief and indignation, the iron-beak sparrow was also angry. It flew towards a caterpillar, and its hard beak pierced through the caterpillar's skin effortlessly, destroying its central nervous system.
Bored, Su Bai leaned against the wall and fell asleep in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, it was already night time. The Ironbeak Sparrow was still flying, but its speed was much slower.
"You've worked so hard, what reason do I have to give up?”Su Bai's eyes gradually became determined.
Ding!" Successfully killed 100,000 caterpillars. Accumulated enough energy. System activating…"
"Ding! System activated!"
"Ding! The host's innate skill has awakened. Double Contract!”
"Ding! Current number of battle pets: 1/2!”
"Ding, experience points full, do you want to level up the Ironbeak Sparrow?”
……
Su Bai was stunned. What was going on?
Had his cheat finally arrived?
