Change jobs, pet beast!

Jiang Mo's mind was in turmoil, like boiling water about to overflow. He suddenly stood up, his unfocused eyes reminiscent of a cracked mirror.

crossed?

Possessed by an unlucky guy with the same name?

No... no, this is a memory from a past life...

Jiang Mo was in a daze.

Born in a poor mountain area, losing both parents in a massive earthquake... What a nightmarish childhood!

After studying day and night, with the help of the government and kind people, he finally got into a key high school and a prestigious university... The dawn was just around the corner.

But when he graduated from university, received a job offer from a large company, and was ready to make his mark and repay his sponsors, hometown, and country, his medical examination report revealed "non-hereditary juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis"...

So...

"What's the point of working so hard for over a decade?"

Jiang Mo really wanted to ask this question, but he knew that no one could answer it.

That winter night, the cold wind was like a knife, and he was like a walking corpse.

Finally, in a daze, he walked to the riverbank and witnessed the little girl fall into the water. Jiang Mo hesitated only slightly before diving into the water.

Just die.

Who doesn't die?

If I can save one person before I die, I'll consider it accumulating merit for my next life... Hahaha, if there is a next life...

……

"Young Master? You're finally awake!"

"Does your chest still hurt? You're just recovering from a serious injury. Warm yourself by the fire, and I'll get you some food."

A concerned inquiry rang in my ears.

Jiang Mo snapped out of her daze, her pupils refocusing.

Fire, orange-red flames.

It seemed to be inside a cave, where the cold, damp air was completely dispelled by the flickering campfire in the center, leaving it warm and reassuring.

Bathed in the firelight, a deeply lined old face stood close to Jiang Mo, grinning broadly, revealing that several large teeth were missing.

"Old Crane..."

Jiang Mo murmured softly, her memories connecting to this life, her expression relaxing slightly.

Damn it... there really is a next life.

However, this is no longer Earth, but a different world ruled by extraordinary beings.

Here, everyone yearns to tame beasts and longs to become a "Master" with the power of a contract.

Old Crane is a Master.

If it weren't for his protection all the way, Jiang Mo would have become food for wild beasts long ago and wouldn't have survived until now.

"Young Master, your injuries were too severe yesterday. I had no choice but to feed you a Dragon-Tiger Tendon-Regenerating Pill."

He Zhifeng finished speaking solemnly.

Jiang Mo hummed in agreement and subconsciously touched her right breast.

As far as I can remember, the right lobe of my lung was attacked and punctured by a wild pet beast called "Spear Spider".

But it is now intact.

The Dragon-Tiger Tendon-Regenerating Pill, priced at 10 silver coins per pill, is something even a Second Soul Master might not be willing to buy, yet its effects on him are indeed formidable.

"There's one last one left."

He Zhifeng handed a small porcelain bottle back to Jiang Mo, saying solemnly:

"Young master, you have taken this medicine today. You must not take it again within three days."

"Therefore, you absolutely cannot suffer any more fatal injuries in these three days. You must be extremely careful."

Jiang Mo slowly rubbed the porcelain bottle, feeling its cool touch, and felt a sudden tightness in his heart.

If one can live, who would want to die?

This life is free from terminal illness, and features extraordinary beast taming and a hundred flowers blooming, offering endless excitement and a captivating experience.

But Jiang Mo is currently a refugee.

Green Crow Ridge, the place of exile, is located at the westernmost edge of the Great Xiao Dynasty. It is a remote and sparsely populated place, teeming with ferocious creatures. Those who stray into this place are often never found.

I have to say, I almost didn't make it through the first day...

How am I going to get through today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?

"Young master, this old servant failed in his duty to protect you yesterday."

"But this old servant is certain that there are three human villages hidden deep within Green Raven Ridge. As long as we can find a village to settle down in and have a chance to catch our breath and resupply, we will definitely survive!"

"Old Crane..."

The campfire crackled and popped. After a long silence, Jiang Mo posed a completely unrelated question:

"you say……"

"Am I a genius or a failure?"

As he spoke, a stream of deep blue water surged from Jiang Mo's palm, swirling around him like a serpent.

The tiny water molecules inside the narrow cave immediately became active, and within a few seconds they showed a tendency to overwhelm the orange-red flames.

"Young Master is undoubtedly a genius!"

"When I was young, I traveled extensively and never heard of anyone being able to raise their natal rank to level 2 within a year!"

He Zhifeng lowered his eyes and answered without hesitation, his face full of respect:

"Believe me, old servant, you've broken more than just the cultivation record in Peach Stone Town!"

"Looking across the entire Great Xiao Dynasty, you are extremely likely the number one!"

"Yeah?"

Jiang Mo stared blankly, speechless.

In this world, beast taming is the only supreme path; there are no other messy cultivation systems.

However, the branches within Beast Taming are as vast as mountains and seas. Whether you are a master or a beast, you must cultivate an "extraordinary profession" and abide by unique workplace rules.

For example, the Master.

Translator, Feather Weaver, Architect, Bathhouse Attendant, Chef, Trainer, Array Master, Knight.

The eight exclusive roles for humans can all assist their pets, creating a powerful synergy.

"Clean water flow, rise—"

With a slight thought, Jiang Mo felt a surge of deep blue water, like a serpent coiling around him, immediately crashing against his clothes. In the blink of an eye, he was soaked to the bone, looking just like a drowned rat.

But then another thought arose, and the water adhering to the skin's surface surged like waves.

Because of the arduous journey, their clothes, which had become dirty and tattered, were slowly drawn out by the mud and bloodstains that seeped through them, as if by a magnet.

This includes dirt in hair strands and under fingernails.

Until Jiang Mo gave the "strip" command, the free-moving water molecules regrouped, and a dark gray sewage serpent surrounded Jiang Mo, faintly emitting a smell similar to spoiled food.

"go."

Jiang Mo casually pointed, and the sewage serpent crashed into a corner of the cave, bursting into a puddle with a "poof" sound before seeping into the ground and quickly disappearing.

Then, Jiang Mo generated a new stream of clean water, a clean and mysterious deep blue, which crashed straight into He Zhifeng, washing over his entire body in the same way.

"Young Master's abilities have improved again."

"Even if it's not at the peak of Level 2, it's very close!"

He Zhifeng enjoyed the water's cleansing effect while sincerely praising it.

The eight imperial offices each have their own responsibilities.

The young master's "bath attendant" mainly cleans the pet's body, maintains its scales and feathers, and removes battle grime.

If one grows to a mid-to-high level, it is said that they can also erase curses, cleanse the soul, purify the bloodline... all sorts of miraculous methods.

"Old Crane, no matter how high your innate talent for your primary profession is, if you can't unlock your secondary profession, it's all just an empty dream."

Jiang Mo brought two fingers together, causing the second sewage serpent to disintegrate. His movements were graceful, but his expression was somewhat forlorn.

Those with the potential to become a Master will awaken one of the eight Great Classes on their sixteenth birthday.

Because of their high innate compatibility and easier growth compared to other classes, the class that awakens first is also known as the "destined class" or "main class".

But the problem is...

Having a designated role does not allow one to form a contract with a pet; at most, one can be called a "master".

Only when any two Masters reach the initial level 1 can one obtain the power of the contract, open the path of cultivation, and become a "Master".

"Old Crane, do I really have absolutely no talent for the remaining seven official positions?"

"Normally, after becoming a pilot, it shouldn't be difficult to unlock the second pilot's job within three months to a year. But I've spent two years and still haven't achieved anything..."

Jiang Mo murmured to himself.

This matter was like a thorn stuck in his throat, causing him immense pain.

Despite possessing exceptional natural talent, unmatched by his peers, and with limitless potential for the future, he is destined for greatness.

You can not activate the second job for a day.

He's just a good-for-nothing and a weakling for a day.

"Young Master."

He Zhifeng's face was etched with wrinkles as he softly comforted her:

"Your situation is indeed very rare."

"But as long as you're alive, there's still hope, isn't there?"

"Once we find the village, this old servant will accompany you to study it at your own pace. There's no rush."

Jiang Mo stood there numbly for a while.

After calming myself down, I let out a heavy sigh.

at this point.

Anyway, things can't get any worse, right?

Having been given a second chance at life, asking for too much might seem like insatiable greed.

Try to instill inspirational literature in yourself.

Jiang Mo felt a little less burdened.

Then, he noticed that He Zhifeng's contracted pet was not in the cave, and asked:

"Old Crane, where's the troll?"

"It went hunting and should be back soon."

As He Zhifeng spoke, he parted the banana leaves at the entrance of the cave and peered through a crack to observe the outside world.

A gust of cold air was the first to sneak in.

Jiang Mo wrapped his clothes tightly around himself, which were shaped like shredded cloth, and subconsciously moved closer to the campfire, glancing outside again.

So dark.

Outside the cave, night had fallen over the forest, ancient trees blocked out the sky, and shadows of the trees swayed.

Occasionally, a fierce roar of beasts would pierce the air, accompanied by strange sounds of the earth trembling, and a bloody wind carrying a surge of malevolent energy.

"Da da da—"

In the darkness, a cluster of lights approached from afar.

A pungent smell, similar to burning sulfur, quietly reached Jiang Mo's nose.

"Hey trolls, keep it down!"

He Zhifeng called out in a low voice.

"Waaah..."

The newcomer whimpered a few times and quickened his pace.

As they drew closer, Jiang Mo could see clearly that it was a hunting dog with light red fur, a bristling mane, and a majestic appearance.

Its size is comparable to that of an adult Golden Retriever from the previous generation, but it is more robust and sturdy.

His aura was extremely fierce, especially his eyes, which were red and sharp, revealing a vicious nature; he was a veritable little devil.

"Um?"

Jiang Mo certainly recognized this "Fire Hound".

Ten years ago, when Lao He was heartbroken after losing his contracted pet, his grandfather, Jiang Yingtian, the head of the Jiang family in Taoshi Town, specially found a puppy of medium bloodline and entrusted it to Lao He to raise and train.

Firstly, it helps him to cheer up.

Secondly, for a master to not have a contracted pet is tantamount to breaking the limbs of a tiger, which is absolutely unacceptable.

but……

To Jiang Mo's shock, when he saw the Fire Hound, a series of bizarre data appeared in his pupils, which was utterly baffling.

[Race]: Fire Hound (Contract)
