1: Is this still domestic?
Which of the following companion beasts have two attributes in their second evolutionary form? (Multiple Choice)
A. Crimson Flame Qiongqi B. Book Child C. Bingzhu D. Sword Attendant
“This isn’t right, is it?”
“Where are my postgraduate study materials?”
“Who swapped my materials?”
Three consecutive questions filled with doubt.
Li Wen only realized that the materials in front of him had changed, completely oblivious to the fact that a group of people were staring at his unusual behavior.
Li Wen’s outrageous behavior in class immediately caught the teacher’s attention, and the teacher didn't indulge him.
“Li Wen, if you think I’m not teaching well, you can go outside and study by yourself.”
The teacher’s voice pulled Li Wen back to reality from his disbelief. Li Wen then realized he was back in a high school classroom.
Everything here was so familiar: the familiar teacher, the familiar classmates, and his unfamiliar English class.
He had transmigrated.
Li Wen was a bit proud of this, after all, based on the principle that only good-looking people can transmigrate or be transmigrated, wasn't it extremely handsome for him to transmigrate into himself?
Given another chance, he would definitely make up for his poor English; if not for English, he wouldn't have studied until he fainted.
Just as Li Wen was preparing to listen attentively to class with grand aspirations of dominating the business and political spheres, the teacher’s voice shattered his dream.
“Now, everyone, please turn to page 126 of your textbook: Talent Awakening and Beastmaster Contracts.”
“What?”
Li Wen took out a book from his drawer, and upon seeing “Humans and Companion Beasts,” a People’s Education Press edition, he turned to page 126 and indeed found “Talent Awakening and Beastmaster Contracts.”
He took out another book, thinking, “I still don’t believe it,” and saw “Materials Science.” Li Wen felt like his world had collapsed, thinking it was a rebirth and a comeback, but he hadn’t expected it to be starting from scratch again.
He might as well just listen to the class honestly.
“Alright, there’s nothing else this morning. You can all go home now. I won’t keep you late today.”
“You must rest well at noon, as the awakening ceremony will be held this afternoon. Don’t let anything go wrong at this crucial time.”
Li Wen hadn't noticed until the teacher mentioned it. He wondered why the bell hadn't rung; it turned out it had already rung long ago.
Li Wen didn’t want to linger there any longer. He just wanted to go home quickly and browse the internet to understand what this parallel world was all about… In a short while, Li Wen arrived home. Opening the door, he saw his parents, their faces as kind as ever, and Li Wen’s last lingering worry dissipated.
Throwing his backpack aside, Li Wen quickly went online, but the more he browsed, the more unnatural his expression became.
After browsing for a while, he summarized a few points: this was a transcendent world centered on Beastmasters, where animals, plants, and even mountains and rivers could evolve into companion beasts.
In early times, humans were weak and could only beg for the protection of legendary creatures. Then, humans began to contract with companion beasts, evolving from their initial weakness to their current strength. Powerful Beastmasters could even intercept a nuclear bomb alone.
Besides Beastmasters, there were several other professions related to Beastmasters, but these required self-study; before university, it was entirely self-taught.
Also, when one reached the age of 18, the natural growth of soul power stopped. Therefore, awakening one’s talent in the third year of high school was the best time for talent awakening.
It could also largely determine whether a person had the ability to contract a companion beast. However, there was no need to worry, as most people could awaken normally, as long as they hadn't suffered particularly severe injuries or illnesses.
Contracting a companion beast was directly related to one's soul strength. The condition for contracting the first companion beast was to reach a soul strength of 1. Similarly, contracting a companion beast would also provide a certain amount of soul strength in return, so it was important to be cautious when choosing the first companion beast.
Finally, he was currently in his third year of high school, and he would have his College Entrance Examination in another semester.
After checking this information, Li Wen quickly ate a few bites of food and went for a nap, because even those professions related to Beastmasters had certain requirements for Beastmaster levels.
Moreover, it now seemed that the profession of Beastmaster was actually very promising, and he also needed to prepare himself for awakening… Arriving at the classroom, he saw two people praying there.
“Please, please, let me get a good talent.”
These two weren't worried about their soul strength being insufficient, but Li Wen was unsure and extremely nervous.
He waited quietly in his seat for the awakening to begin. Soon, the bell rang, and the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom with a crystal ball.
“This afternoon, you will awaken in order of your student numbers. After you go back, discuss with your parents about contracting a companion beast.”
“I will emphasize one last time: do not pursue uniqueness. The potential of companion beasts that cannot evolve is ultimately limited.”
After giving instructions, the teacher remained silent, standing quietly to the side.
The students below gradually came forward and began to awaken. Their soul strengths ranged from 1.2 to 1.7, and no one failed to awaken, which gave Li Wen some comfort. He was no longer as nervous as before.
When it was Li Wen’s turn, he directly placed his palm on the crystal ball, and then the panel that everyone else had also appeared before his eyes.
Name: Li Wen
Soul Power: 1.68
Talent: Creation Evolution
This ability can be used to adjust the state of the companion beast to be evolved to its best, maximize the energy utilization rate of the evolution ceremony, and also develop new pathways through some additional materials.
Contracted Companion Beast: None
Seeing that he indeed had the ability to contract, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also a little disappointed that as a transmigrator, he didn't have any cheat ability.
After everyone had completed their awakening, Li Wen pulled the two individuals from earlier and headed home with them.
Those two were Huang Yi and Zhang Jian, Li Wen’s best friends during high school, which was why Li Wen had been so excited earlier.
Li Wen’s current understanding of companion beasts was completely insufficient, so he wanted Huang Yi and Zhang Jian to give him some advice.
“Do you have any companion beasts you like? Recommend some to me too.”
“We don’t really have any ideas either, so we were thinking of going to the incubation zone tonight to see if there are any companion beast eggs we like. We were just about to invite you, are you coming?”
According to Li Wen’s understanding, this world had a novice protection mechanism: if the first contract was a companion beast egg, the species of the companion beast would tend towards one’s talent.
This was a good suggestion, after all, his home couldn't customize a companion beast according to his talent.
He immediately replied.
“Yes, why not? You guys wait for me at the park later.”
…Upon returning home, Li Wen explained his plan to his father. Li’s Father had long been prepared for his son’s contract period.
He readily took out 300,000 yuan, telling Li Wen not to choose low-species eggs to save money. This 300,000 yuan was originally intended for his contract preparations.
Although Li’s Father himself was not a Beastmaster, he had been preparing this 300,000 yuan for a long time, not just as support for his son, but also as a way to make up for his own regrets.
His father’s actions deeply moved Li Wen. In another timeline, his father would also support him through university, even if it meant selling everything he owned.
With the help of this fund, Li Wen felt more confident in selecting a companion beast egg.
Now, no other thoughts could sway his anticipation for the companion beast egg. After a hurried meal, he rushed to the park where he had agreed to meet Huang Yi and the others.
As soon as he arrived at the park entrance, he saw the two of them waving at him.
“Let’s go, let’s go in and take a look first.”
This park was officially operated and managed, and compared to private parks, it had a richer variety of companion beasts and a much larger quantity of them.
The three of them headed straight for the area where the companion beast eggs were located… In the breeding room lay all sorts of eggs. Each egg not only had a different color but also different patterns.
None of the three of them were professionals, so they could only try one by one through the special sensing ability of their talents.
These limited companion beast eggs available for public selection were either of low species or of species that even the park itself didn't know.
Otherwise, they wouldn't truly believe that the park was doing charity, selling high-species eggs here as companion beast eggs; the profit from selling young beasts after hatching would definitely be higher.
After circling this area, only Huang Yi had chosen a blue companion beast egg that he had sensed. Li Wen and Zhang Jian both returned empty-handed.
So, they had no choice but to honestly return to the ordinary young beast area to choose their first companion beast.
As soon as they entered the young beast park and saw the young beasts, a panel appeared before Li Wen’s eyes. He initially thought it was his own panel that had somehow appeared.
But upon closer inspection, the text on it was completely different.
Scientific Evolution System
Crystal Worm
① Light Gene 40%
② Dark Gene 40%
③ Polymorphic Gene 20%
… Fire Spotted Cat
① Tiger Gene 85%
② Qiongqi Gene 15%
… Knowledge Point +1
…
Question marks popped up in Li Wen’s mind.
Had his cheat finally arrived?
But this cheat was a bit torturous; wasn’t this one of his postgraduate subjects? Genetics. He had to start with genetic engineering again.
