Beast Familiarity begins with inheritance

Chapter 2 Awakening Ritual
Gu Ling in both worlds has the habit of working part-time. His daily expenses are simple, and he has saved a lot of money. In addition, the state provides subsidies for poor students, orphans, school subsidies, and various competitions every year. The total bonus is 10 Dragon Mysterious Coins.

But this money is far from enough to buy a well-qualified pet animal cub or pet animal egg.

"You have to find a way to borrow some money..." Gu Ling looked at the bank cards and passbooks scattered in front of him, and sighed.

At this time, Gu Ling's cell phone beside him rang.

Gu Ling picked up the phone and looked at it. It was a call from a person with "Second Uncle" on the note, swiping his finger to the right to connect: "Second Uncle."

On the other end of the call was one of Gu Ling's few relatives, Gu Ling's late father's younger brother, Gu Ling's uncle—Gu Mingsheng.

Both of Gu Ling's parents died when he was a child, and he was sent to an orphanage for a period of time. Later, when Gu Mingsheng learned of the news, he took Gu Ling back to his home.

Gu Mingsheng has been married for almost 20 years and has a son and a daughter who are the same age as Gu Ling. Although Gu Mingsheng's family takes good care of Gu Ling, Gu Ling didn't want to trouble others all the time, so he moved out when he was in junior high school.

The house she lives in now is a community with good location and good security that Gu Mingsheng helped her find.

Gu Mingsheng asked: "Have you finished the final exam? Tomorrow is the awakening ceremony. Do you want to participate?"

"join."

"That's good." Hearing this answer, Gu Mingsheng's tone was obviously relaxed: "In this world, becoming a beast master is still the most promising. I will take time to come and accompany you in these two days."

Gu Ling refused: "Second Uncle, Weiwei and I have already made an appointment to go together, so I don't need to trouble you to come all the way."

Gu Mingsheng's family lived in Yangxi County next door to Nanping County, and Gu Ling moved here after passing the entrance examination to Nanping Middle School in junior high school, and it took several hours to go back and forth between the two counties.

Gu Ling knew that Gu Mingsheng's son and daughter would also participate in the awakening ceremony this year, so he rejected his kindness.

Hearing this, Gu Mingsheng didn't force it: "Well, when the result comes out, remember to tell me."

"You don't have to be too burdened. The inheritance left by your parents, I have saved it in the bank for you all these years, is enough to buy a pet animal cub with medium qualifications."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

After hanging up the call, Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

A second ago, she was still worrying about where the money to buy the pet beast would come from.
The next second, a solution came.

Gu Lingzui muttered: "Almost forgot, my parents left an inheritance in the last life. I remember it was a house and more than 20 cash. I don't know how much in this life?"

As a student and an orphan, Gu Ling has preferential policies, so he can spend less money to buy pet beasts.

If the inheritance has 20 cash, plus the 10 that Gu Ling has on hand, within the scope of preferential policies, he should be able to buy pet cubs or pet eggs with slightly better qualifications.

Excluding the money for buying pets, part of the remaining money is used for living expenses, and part is used for cultivating pets.

Very nice!
……

the next day.

Gu Ling took Huang Weiwei's family's car to the Nanping Pet Animal Incubation Base, accompanied by the driver Fu Bo and Huang Weiwei's parents.

The awakening ceremony is a top priority, and parents will basically accompany their children.

When we arrived at the Nanping Pet Animal Incubation Base, there was already a long queue at the gate, full of prospective high school seniors and their parents.

Huang Weiwei's mother, Shen Qing, told the two of them: "Don't be nervous, you two, just treat them normally."

"Got it, Mom."

"Okay, Aunt Shen."

The two came outside the gate of the base and showed their student ID cards to the staff.

The machine scanned the student ID card once, and after confirming that the identity was correct, the staff handed over the student ID card together with a number plate to the two.

Entering the base, Huang Weiwei looked at the numbers on the number plates of the two: "We are both E307-3, and we should be awakened in the same 'black room'."

Gu Ling nodded: "Yes."

'E' represents which building, '307' represents which room in the building, and the last number '3' represents the third batch of people who performed the awakening ceremony in this room.

After asking a staff member, the two found the room on the floor where E307-3 was located.

After the second batch of awakened students came out, Gu Ling and the third batch of awakened students walked into the room under the guidance of the staff.

Inside the room, the walls and floor are made of special black basaltic magnetite.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, the first human being to awaken the beast-following space accidentally fell into a black magnetite mine, lost his way inside for three days and three nights, and was affected by a special magnetic field, awakening the beast-fearing space.

In the following thousands of years, humans have not stopped researching black black magnets, but they still cannot explain why this special magnet can allow humans to awaken to the beast-controlling space of communicating with pet beasts.

After the third batch of people arrived, the staff began to explain the process:
"You have to stay in the room for an hour. During this hour, everyone meditates, empty their minds, and don't think about anything."

"After an hour, you can leave and go to the pet center at the base for testing to determine whether it is awakened."

After the staff finished speaking, they exited the room.

At this time, a broadcast sounded: "Ten seconds later, turn off the lights in the room, please find a seat to sit down, keep quiet, and do not allow whispering."

After Gu Ling and the others heard the broadcast, they quickly found a place to sit down.

The way of meditation is actually very simple. It doesn't need any formulas, and it doesn't need any exercises.

Gu Ling sat cross-legged on the cushion, closed his eyes, and calmed down.

There was no sound around, so quiet that only some breathing could be heard.

After closing my eyes, I only felt a cloud of gray.

Time passed by little by little, and Gu Ling didn't know how long it had passed. Suddenly, he felt a ray of light shine in front of the darkness.

Gu Ling knew very well that she hadn't opened her eyes. She wanted to get close to the light, but was sucked in instantly...

Suddenly, Gu Ling seemed to see a nearly transparent black space, and directly above the space, there seemed to be something floating.

Before Gu Ling had time to take a closer look, he was interrupted by a voice calling beside his ear:

"Lingling, the awakening time is over."

Gu Ling opened his eyes and saw Huang Weiwei next to him. At this time, the lights and doors in the entire room were also opened, and the other awakening students exited the meditation one after another.

Gu Ling stood up and asked Huang Weiwei: "How do you feel?
"It seems... Awakened? I saw the Beast Familiar Space, but I'm not sure." Huang Weiwei shrugged.

At this time, the broadcast in the room sounded:
"The awakening ceremony is over, please leave the room as soon as possible, and go to the beast center to test the awakening results."

"..."

……

after an hour.

Inside the pet center.

After Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei went through a series of tests, the results of their awakening came out.

After reading the report, the staff member smiled at the two of them: "Congratulations, you have awakened the beast control space."

"During the summer vacation, the base will open preferential channels for students to purchase pets. If you want to buy pets at the base, remember to come during this period to get a [-]% discount."

"This is the meditation manual for the Beast-Keeping Space. You can also find specific meditation methods for the Beast-Keeping Space on the official website of the Nanping Beast Incubation Base."

Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei received the awakening results report and a booklet from the staff, registered the identity information of the preliminary beast masters, and left the petting center of the base.

Huang Weiwei took Gu Ling's hand, jumping up and down excitedly: "Great! We have all awakened the beast master space, and we can be beast masters together!"

"Ling Ling, do you have enough money to buy a pet beast?"

Gu Ling smiled and said: "My parents left me a legacy, enough to buy a pet beast."

"That's good." Hearing this, Huang Weiwei felt relieved:
"After choosing a pet beast, I won't be able to accompany you here. My pet beast has long been reserved by my parents. It is said that it is a pet beast egg born by a highly qualified pet beast in the Far East."

"It's probably coming soon, and it will take a long time to 'hatch eggs'."

Hearing this, Gu Ling couldn't help but feel sour.

"Tsk, tsk, you are Versailles!"

"There is a pet beast with high qualifications as your first contract pet beast, and you are still embarrassed? Find a fight!"

As he said that, Gu Ling stretched out his claws towards Huang Weiwei, using a unique trick - tickling!

"Hehehe... I was wrong! I was wrong! Spare me!" Huang Weiwei panicked, backed away and ran away, begging for mercy.

"..."

The two of them fought and fought, and left the gate of the base.

The three people waiting outside learned that both Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei had awakened to the beast-controlling space, and they were overjoyed. Huang's father, Huang Yuanyang, even waved his hand and took several people to a high-end restaurant for lunch to celebrate the two.

……

After lunch, Gu Ling was sent back.

After returning home, Gu Ling immediately told Gu Mingsheng the good news and asked about the results of his cousin's awakening.

There was a hint of smile in Gu Mingsheng's voice: "They have also awakened and will choose suitable pet beasts in the near future."

"I'll go over there in the next two days and give you your parents' things."

"I see, Second Uncle."

After hanging up the call, Gu Ling started surfing the Internet, browsing information on the 12 pet beasts recommended by the Nanping Pet Beast Incubation Base, and found many related battle videos and training videos, taking notes while watching them.

Before I knew it, hours passed.

Gu Ling looked at the time on his phone. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, so he ordered a takeaway and then read through the notes he had recorded from the beginning:

"Insect-type pets are the cheapest, have a short training cycle, and can quickly develop combat effectiveness. However, their life span is generally not long, and their appearance is not very good..."

"Grass, water and flying pet beasts are all docile and obedient in character, but if they are too docile they may lack the will to fight and will not cooperate with daily training and fighting, so they are the second choice."

"Electric-type and fire-type beasts have a certain fighting power in their infancy, are competitive, and generally have a fighting madness, but they also have the risk of disobedience, and it is difficult to cultivate, and the price is the most expensive..."
