Eternal Beast Taming Family

On the same day as the version update, a large number of users logged into the Dream World.

Compared to the aristocratic families who are willing to own land in the Dream Realm, most Dream Realm users are still reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of land.

So on the first day after the update, most Dream World users immediately appeared in the new map. However, the place where they appeared was solid blue bricks under their feet, but the surrounding area was empty.

Looking into the distance, they could see the familiar city walls of the city where their real-life bodies were located.

It can be said that there are only a few scattered official buildings in the entire city, and the rest are just a copy of the city's shell. As for the buildings themselves, they still need to be purchased as usual before they can be built.

Looking at this familiar city, there are always some people who feel like they're being sold twice.

However, this mentality was quickly swayed by the appeal of other features that were added.

Zhu Yingchen stood in the somewhat familiar city, his gaze revealing a hint of realization.

He is only fourteen years old and comes from Timber City, an ordinary small town within the territory of the Mortal Dynasty.

His ancestors were just ordinary farmers in the timber city. It was seventy or eighty years ago, during his grandfather's generation, that the imperial dynasty issued a decree.

To ensure that no mortals remained within the kingdom's borders, taking advantage of the favorable east wind, his grandfather was enlightened and formed a contract with an ordinary source beast, thus beginning nearly a hundred years of history for the Zhu family.

Even after becoming contract masters, their family still maintained their original profession—farming, except that they used to employ people to cultivate the land.

They changed to using the mechanical tools popularized by the dynasty, as well as related source beasts to cultivate the land. They no longer planted ordinary seeds, but spiritual seeds with abundant energy.

After decades of development, the Zhu family, while not particularly wealthy, has accumulated some wealth.

However, he recently had some conflicts with his grandfather and father regarding his future development.

He is now attending a public school in Timber City, receiving a great deal of basic education, and is aware of the vastness of the world outside Timber City.

Therefore, the naive boy naturally developed a longing for the outside world, the legendary prosperous capital city, and even the mysterious Wandao City.

This was his final year at school, and he wanted to leave Timber City to explore higher education options.

However, his grandfather and father strongly opposed his idea.

They wanted him to finish his studies in Timber City and then return home to help out, as his family wanted to contract more land to build up their family's legacy for generations to come.

In fact, at times, Zhu Yingchen understood his father and grandfather's thoughts. Their Zhu family had only one son for three generations, so naturally they were reluctant to let him leave their sight.

Although the timber city is small, it is stable and peaceful, and even if a major event occurs, it generally will not affect this place.

However, the boy understands this idea, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will accept it.

Upon seeing the updated content of the Dream World, he immediately logged in.

Following Mengling's guidance, he arrived at the center of the timber city, near the existing buildings, and walked to the one that looked somewhat golden.

Upon entering the building, the first thing that catches the eye is an extremely spacious hall with many seats for people to rest.

Unlike the other places where people were bustling around, this building was sparsely populated, with most people just curious onlookers.

On the other side of the hall, there was a long counter, behind which sat many dream spirits of different appearances.

Zhu Yingchen hesitated for a moment before slowly walking over and sitting down in front of one of the dream spirits.

Upon seeing his arrival, Mengling, who had been listless, immediately adopted a warm and enthusiastic attitude.

"Hello, welcome to Dreamworld Loan Center. What kind of loan service do you need?"

Zhu Yingchen's expression stiffened for a moment, then he asked, "What kind of loan services are available?"

"There are medical loans for treating illnesses, source beast loans for contracting source beasts, business loans for expanding industries, and academic loans for further education..."

Upon hearing a key phrase, Zhu Yingchen quickly interrupted, saying, "It's that student loan for further education."

Mengling looked Zhu Yingchen up and down, then widened her eyes and asked, "Are you having academic difficulties? You look like you should still be in the free education stage at your age!"

Faced with its surprised attitude, Zhu Yingchen inwardly sighed that the emotions of these dream spirits were becoming increasingly rich, but he immediately responded:

"I received a special admission offer from Qianling Academy, but my family doesn't want me to leave Timber City, so I had no choice but to come here to see if I can get a loan."

"My God! What did you say? You mean you were specially recruited by Thousand Spirits Academy, the highest academy in the Mortal Dynasty?"

And your family won't even let you go.

Seeing Meng Ling's incredulous expression and hearing her exclamation, which attracted the attention of people nearby and other women at the counters, Zhu Yingchen felt extremely embarrassed.

He nodded quickly, then asked softly, "In this situation, is it possible to apply for a student loan?"

Mengling stretched out her slender arm and patted her chest before blinking and saying, "Wait a minute, could you show me your Thousand Spirits Academy special admission invitation?"

Zhu Yingchen nodded slightly, then his eyes fell into the void as if he were looking at some kind of panel, making a selection. A moment later, an invitation card with a picture of a sea of ​​flowers and a mountainside appeared in the void in front of him.

Furthermore, the invitation is adorned with a blooming spirit flower with golden threads, blue petals, and white starlight, and its stamp shimmers with a unique rhythm, making it clear to anyone who looks at it that this invitation is no ordinary thing.

"Wow, it's actually true." Mengling murmured softly from behind the counter.

Zhu Yingchen didn't hear what it said clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Mengling quickly shook her head, "It's nothing, it's nothing, the invitation is indeed genuine."

Mengling pointed to the blooming spirit flower on the invitation.

Then he turned to Zhu Yingchen and said, "If you are really short of money, selling this Domain-Rank Spirit Flower would be enough to cover your expenses at the academy for ten years."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yingchen looked at the spirit flower on the invitation with some surprise, not realizing that it had such a high value.

After thinking it over, Zhu Yingchen shook his head. "This was given to me by the academy after all. It's not good to sell it privately. I'd better apply for a loan."

Upon hearing this, Mengling stopped trying to persuade her and resumed her work-related demeanor.

"Given your situation, we can arrange an interest-free loan for you for a hundred years. Tuition at Qianling Academy will be waived, and living and study expenses will be paid at 100 Yuanling Stones per month until the hundred years are up or until you graduate from Qianling Academy."
