Chapter 673 — The Cat Returns
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 9 of 10
And in his memories... the original body's family had perished in a beast tide.
"A beast-taming world... I've got the rough picture."
"But why, even after transmigrating, am I still this miserable?"
Shi Jin drew a deep breath. Fine, transmigration it was—but in a dangerous other world like this, wouldn't it obviously be more comfortable to transmigrate as a second-generation beast tamer?
Best of all would be to have a dragon maiden guarding him from childhood and sprites for company—only that would make the crossing worthwhile.
Unfortunately, transmigration, like reincarnation, seemed to be a skilled trade.
He was still called Shi Jin, but his identity was no longer that of the mythologist Shi Jin of Earth—he was now an unremarkable intern beast keeper at the Icefield City pet beast breeding base.
Not a Beast Tamer... more like a gofer for Beast Tamers.
This was a place dedicated to raising pet beasts... and he was currently here learning the experience of raising pet beasts.
His daily tasks were to feed some pet beast cubs, shovel their dung, and clean up the sanitation.
A proper bottom-rung working stiff.
But that made sense of the contents of those few books—so he had been studying...
The reason the original body worked so hard was, in truth, the hope of successfully becoming a Beast Tamer—but reality? An orphan who could not even feed himself, what was he talking about breeding pet beasts for?
With the Shi family's circumstances, becoming a Beast Tamer was far too difficult.
But Shi Cen was lucky: a little talent plus a little effort had at least tied his current profession to Beast Tamers, and the future held no small chance that he might yet become one.
He had even made a great many preparations, resolving to take out a loan if need be to purchase a prime cub and become a beast tamer.
At such a young age, he had already decided to shoulder a beast-taming loan.
Shi Jin's composure shattered. As expected—truly miserable.
Burdened with a mountain of mortgage and car payments, he actually felt a hundred million points of sympathy—never imagining that even after transmigrating, he would still be carrying loans.
He was getting ahead of himself. For now, Shi Yu was nothing but a lowly wage slave.
And before long, a task would be waiting for him—the 666 work schedule, and Shi Yun was strict.
To be honest, apart from his high school years, it had been a long time since he had risen at six in the morning...
Shi Jin rubbed his aching head and walked over to a wall plastered with a work schedule.
This was the weekly task list handed out just yesterday. As an intern at the breeding base, his daily tasks were all arranged for him.
Today's task was... Shi Qi looked toward what lay beneath Monday.
Morning: feed the snow wolf pack (solo task)... haul feed (group task)...
Afternoon: record growth data for the green fluff worms (group task)...
Mm...
If his memory served... weren't snow wolves pack-dwelling, exceedingly fierce and savage carnivorous pets?
Such a dangerous-looking task... and it was solo? Seriously?
Shi Jin sank into thought.
He had been bitten by a dog as a child, and was naturally a bit cowardly around canines. This task was a little poisonous to him.
"But it shouldn't be a problem..."
It suddenly occurred to Shi Jin that he possessed the "telepathy" talent, which allowed him to communicate normally with any living being—so surely nothing would go wrong...
The reason he had been able to come here for his internship was, apart from his excellent marks in the school's theoretical courses, that he possessed a special beast-taming talent called "telepathy."
When a human successfully opens a beast-taming space through meditation, this is accompanied by the awakening of a beast-taming talent.
Apart from not yet having contracted an initial pet, Shi Jin had already successfully opened his beast-taming space and smoothly awakened his talent.
