You were given the ability to tame beasts, not to become a god-level breeder.

Buzz!

My phone vibrated before I finished writing my paper on the Nebula Ice Jellyfish.

"The money has arrived!"

"One zero, two zeros..."

Jiang Fan picked up his phone and his breath hitched.

The derivative paper on the Great Moon Fox has passed the review.

The reward is... 300 million!

"Three hundred million?"

Jiang Fan looked at the message sent by the paper database and then pointed with his finger.

As I counted the numbers in my account balance, I couldn't help but gasp.

Three hundred million!

Three small goals!

That's enough to enjoy for a lifetime!

Let alone three hundred million, even one hundred million.

As long as you don't develop bad habits, you really can't spend all your money in a lifetime!

"A small matter."

"A single basic culture instrument costs 100 million yuan."

Jiang Fan took a deep breath, calming his turbulent emotions and chest.

really.

When Jiang Fan converted 300 million into cultivation equipment, specifically basic cultivation equipment, he immediately calmed down.

Credit points.

It's just money.

No matter how many you have, nothing beats the value of Beast Taming Points.

Jiang Fan glanced at his balance again before reluctantly turning off his phone screen and continuing to type on the keyboard, perfecting his derivative paper on the Nebula Ice Jellyfish.

Just as he finished writing his paper, checked it three times, and uploaded it correctly, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Fan walked over and saw the two people outside through the glass door.

One is a slightly overweight, middle-aged man with squinty eyes when he smiles, and an endearing appearance. Principal Fu Donglai and Vice Principal Wang, both with bald heads, form a natural contrast.

Another elderly man, nearly two meters tall, with sharp eyes, seemed to harbor a lion within him.

His clothes were simple and neat. While waiting at the door, he kept his back straight. During his conversation with Fu Donglai, he only moved his head slightly. His upper and lower body were like an old tree with its roots firmly planted, remaining steadfast and still.

Jiang Fan opened the door.

Fu Donglai immediately introduced, "Brother Su, this is Jiang Fan, one of our school's top students."

"Jiang Fan, Brother Su is the one I just told you about on the phone. He holds an important position in the Education Bureau."

Fu Donglai deliberately emphasized the four characters for "our school".

"Jiang Fan, nice to meet you."

"The ability to develop the Moon Lotus combination, achieving success in both competitions and exotic lands, with a frighteningly high contract rate nationwide, is truly remarkable."

"Even today's top-tier artists would find it difficult to achieve such success at your age."

Su Donglin looked Jiang Fan up and down, a hint of envy in his eyes, and then reached out his hand.

"Lord Su, you're exaggerating. How could I possibly be compared to someone of the highest caliber?"

"It's just that I was a bit lucky; the beasts I was researching happened to be somewhat unique."

Jiang Fan shook hands and smiled calmly.

Next was the conversation between Jiang Fan and Su Donglin.

Unable to get a word in edgewise, Fu Donglai was sweating profusely, his mind racing. He was thinking, "Jiang Fan, bring our school along! This person is from the Education Bureau. Talk to them more about our school; maybe we can get more educational resources next year."

"Principal Fu, there must be many important matters to attend to at the school, right?" As they were chatting, Su Donglin suddenly glanced at Fu Donglai.

Fu Donglai knew this was an order to leave, and he hesitated.

Su Donglin added, "Principal Fu, please go ahead and take care of your business. The General Administration will indeed be investing significantly more educational resources this semester and tomorrow because of Jiang Fan."

Upon hearing this, Principal Fu was overjoyed and immediately slapped his thigh: "Indeed, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay here any longer. You two can continue your conversation!"

Jiang Fan smiled when he saw this.

Principal Fu is truly a good principal.

Seeing that the unrelated people had left, Su Donglin spoke as he walked.

His words filled Jiang Fan with both relief and surprise.

First, the Education Bureau decided to distribute free Beast Taming items in the second semester of this year.

Moon Fox, Bell Cat, Lotus Fairy, and Nebula Ice Jellyfish have all been selected to enter the senior year of high school nationwide. In addition, there will be two free tamed beasts, which will be arranged and selected by the education authorities of each region.

The Education Bureau will arrange for students who choose the Lotus Fairy to be escorted to Hualien County by the Lotus Fairy Pond required for the Lotus Fairy. In fact, the evolution cost of the Lotus Fairy is not high. The trouble is the cost of going to Hualien County. The Education Bureau can reduce the cost by coordinating the allocation.

It is certain that Yue Ling Lian Xing, as the first student to tame a beast, will have a very high starting point.

Su Donglin even revealed a bombshell piece of news.

If the combat power of the senior students who have signed contracts with free beast taming is sufficient next semester, we will arrange for them to train in low-level alien realms such as the Rift Realm!

In the past, high school seniors came from different families, and the quality of the beasts they contracted varied greatly.

Most of them are of pitifully low quality, with virtually no combat power.

Let alone in other realms, even in secret realms, they would be targets for rampage and slaughter.

As the initial beast, the Contract Moon Bell Lotus Star offers impressive combat power with minimal initial investment.

Have a look.

The Education Department is bold enough to send students to foreign lands for training.

People from other lands are not to be trifled with!

With their physical bodies and spiritual runes, the aliens could defeat three Great Xia Beast Tamers of the same level.

"Free Beast Taming..."

Jiang Fan sighed inwardly, thinking that this generation of high school seniors was truly fortunate to have caught up with a good era.

Back when he was in his senior year of high school, there were no free beast taming services, let alone such powerful ones like Yue Ling Lian Xing, which he could freely choose.

Moreover, after the Lotus Fairy evolves, she comes with a gold-grade Azure Water Pearl. Although this item hasn't been developed to have any particularly strong uses yet, its market price is still around 200,000.

First, you can choose the Lotus Fairy as your free tamed beast. After it evolves, you can sell the Azure Water Pearl and use the starting capital to choose another one from the Moon Bell Star.

This feeling brought back unpleasant memories for Jiang Fan.

If I remember correctly.

After he finished his college entrance exam, the high school he attended not only built new teaching buildings and dormitories, but also installed air conditioning in the classrooms.

"etc."

"I can understand why Moon Fox, Bell Cat, and Lotus Fairy were selected for the nationwide free Beast Taming event, but Nebula Ice Jellyfish?"

Jiang Fan looked at Su Donglin and realized something.

"Among ice-type beasts, the powerful ones aren't as cheap as it, and the cheap ones aren't as powerful as it."

"And Jiang Fan, why did you keep the unique ability of the Nebula Ice Jellyfish to quickly master new skills by absorbing a small amount of beast cores so secret that we only discovered its advantages today?"

Su Donglin smiled wryly.

Jiang Fan spread his hands innocently and said, "Uh, I only figured it out today."

"Huh?" Su Donglin exclaimed in surprise, "You only figured this out today?"

...

【——

Let's talk about some of the settings.

Beast Taming Growth Levels: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Star, King, Peerless, God, each level is divided into nine grades.

Attributes are divided into common attributes, rare attributes, and top-level attributes.

Common attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth

Rare Attributes: Ice, Wind, Lightning, Poison, Light, Darkness, Dragon

Top-level attributes: time, space, causality

Dragons are physically powerful, so they were given their own distinct type. We considered having the Bug type as a separate type, but ultimately decided against it. However, we don't rule out the possibility of adding the Bug type later.

Awakened attributes are upgraded versions of common, rare, and top-tier attributes. There are many types of awakened attributes, such as Fury, Green Wood, Extreme Lightning, Deep Water, etc.

The advantage of awakened attributes is that awakened attributes are not countered by the original type, and the damage against the type that is countered is increased. For example, wood type is countered by fire type and wood type is countered by earth type, but after awakening into green wood type, green wood type is not countered by fire type and can deal more damage to earth type.

In addition, awakened attributes will have additional effects. For example, Fury increases damage, Green Wood makes wood-type skills more resilient and vine entanglements less likely to be cut, and Extreme Thunder increases the flight speed of lightning-type skills, which can be simply understood as increasing attack speed.

Awakened attributes maintain a restraining relationship.

That concludes the important settings section; now let's move on to the discussion section.

This is the third book by Maomao. At the end of the first book, she promised to write a cultivation-themed novel. Well, she did write the second book, but it went astray and became a talisman cultivation novel. The verification data was okay, but it went astray, so she eventually abandoned it. So, here comes the third book, a pure cultivation-themed novel.

I did read the comments and made changes based on them. For example, someone mentioned that there was too little interaction between humans and pets, so I added a beast pen setting to the Island of Imagination. Later, while writing and supplementing the outline, I found that the aliens were too powerful. No, I had to strengthen the protagonist again. So, the Island of Imagination, which was originally supposed to grow step by step, went directly to the Origin level. In addition, I added settings such as being unaffected by the timeline, and attributes and stones. Otherwise, the setting of the Island of Imagination would have been a basic version of a beast pen that shielded causality and was limited by level, without any text, to prevent the Tiger King from discovering how powerful you were through the causal lines and directly activating all the power of the Eight Emperors to kill you across realms.

The plot emphasizes logical coherence and abandons the endless stream of villains. Otherwise, there should be about thirty villains by now. For example, in the early stages of the thesis writing, the school's academic affairs office intervenes, which is a two-way street. Then, after the results are published, other research institutes resist the project. Gao Yu's side can fight back against both the younger and older members. Finally, the whole family comes together. Don't even mention the two-pronged approach. They just give the protagonist experience packs and resource packs step by step. Fu Changsheng's side also gets some apprentices.

What do you mean by "I can't find any reason or position to target the protagonist, but I just have to jump out and target you"? It's probably fate at work.

In addition, regarding the plot, the original plan was to have a voice-generating device for the Lotus Fairy, so that every time she was resurrected, she would say "This is too much!" I eventually scrapped that part.

There's also the issue of paper database settings. Some people just like to argue, even when it's a clearly set trap, they still use fake papers to test it out.

Cat is affected by data. Actually, the jellyfish paper should have been published a couple of days ago, but looking at the backend data, it suddenly seemed to be dying. I don't understand. The data for following the books on my bookshelf and reading what I want has been pretty good, but why am I not getting any more views? This book was published in March, had its first verification in April, and today is June 14th, a full two and a half months, or 75 days! The highest number of views I got in a single day was less than 3,000! There were only seven days with more than 2,000 views! The rest of the time it was just over 1,000 views or even a few hundred views!! Readers who know a little about data should know what kind of garbage data this is. Others get more views in three or four days than all of my book has so far.

Keep going, yes, keep going. The data wasn't good at the beginning of the debut, but there were three chances: closed beta, book beta, and closed beta. Well, I've used up all three chances today, and there's still no traffic, not even 3,000 views!

Is it possible to update the volume in the morning?

Is it possible to update both chapters together to increase the page views?

Is it possible to release the two chapters separately and then allocate the update time?

No, no, no, none of them will work.

Thinking that raising the rating might be a chance, I decided to ask for help. I checked the next day and there were less than ten people. Fine, it doesn't matter if people don't want to vote. I didn't really have any hope of raising the rating anyway.

Alright, that's enough complaining.

I'm quite happy with writing this book. I've been updating steadily this month, and I expect it will continue next month if nothing unexpected happens. If something does happen, my daily income will drop to the same level as my last book. I work hard for three or four hours after work, only to find out that I only earn seven yuan a day, which is a little over one yuan an hour. Haha, I doubt that will happen, because my follow-up updates and bookshelf status are quite stable. I will finish the seven chapters I owe by the end of next month.

To write this book, I bought the Kai skin and haven't even played ten games with it. I used to be able to play a few games of King of Glory every night after get off work, but now I don't even have the energy to open King of Glory after finishing writing.

Well, actually I didn't want to include any of the giant beasts in the lineup. After all, designing different taming mechanisms for beasts is quite brain-draining. I don't even want to write about the mechanics for the three types of unicorns. Any one of these could be the protagonist's beast in a future cat-themed beast-taming story. But after thinking about it, I decided to write it anyway, since there are still many readers waiting. Currently, the giant beast lineup consists of Tyrannosaurus Rex, crocodile, and crab. We're still missing two more.

Well, the quantity isn't enough. I'm also thinking about my next book. It'll still be about beast taming, but without logic. I'm tired of thinking about plots. In my next book, I'll write about a constant stream of minor villains who mindlessly target and provoke the protagonist. They don't care how strong or famous they are. The point is to make the protagonist slap them in the face. They'll collect beautiful women whenever they see them. They won't use their resources. They'll delay dealing with things that can be resolved immediately, and they'll only act at the crucial moment.

The specific genre is still uncertain. Whether it will be beast taming and survival, a dark world view, or a regular academy story is still undecided. If anyone wants to read the next book, I don't know when that will be. Anyway, I haven't written a single word yet, since writing this book has been quite energy-consuming.

Okay, that's all. There's still a lot I haven't said, but considering the amount of writing required for this book, I'm too lazy to go on. That's it for now. Hopefully, it will reach a million words. This concludes the discussion.
