Chapter 131: Promotion to Six-star Beast Tamer
Liu Ming’s Father chose to work at the factory with Aunt Niu. Working at the factory wasn’t hard, only eight hours a day.
Even the night shift, from three in the afternoon to one in the morning, included an hour for dinner.
Their bodies could handle it.
However, Song Tiantian suggested they open a restaurant in the park. They could rent a very small shopfront at a discounted price, and since Liu Ming was in sales, he could bring clients to their own restaurant. She could provide a loan for Liu Ming to contract a meat-eating Pet Beast worth two million, and any leftover meat could be fed to the Pet Beast.
This loan was interest-free and would be deducted from Liu Ming’s salary each month.
Liu Ming’s parents were initially unwilling, believing that working at the factory was stable. Opening a shop meant paying rent every month, and what if they incurred a loss?
But Liu Ming insisted that his parents open a small shop together, not do anything else, even if it was just a simple noodle shop.
Shopfronts are limited, resources are limited, and not everyone can get a shopfront.
Father Song’s two brothers also secured a shopfront here and decided to open restaurants.
One would open a high-end restaurant catering exclusively to Beast Tamers, selling Fierce Beast Meat.
The other would cater to ordinary people.
Both families were good at socializing and had their descendants working in sales here.
Finally, the remaining two restaurants were also leased out.
What they valued wasn’t actually the shopfront, but the fact that it was an independent house, large enough to be lived in as a villa.
The restaurant didn’t need to be large; even a breakfast stall at the entrance would suffice.
They weren’t interested in those small shopfronts. Coincidentally, one was rented by Liu Ming’s family, and another was rented by one of Father Song’s brothers.
The security guards here were mostly hired by Song Ranran. To become a security guard, one had to be at least a One-star Beast Tamer and possess a combat-capable Pet Beast; auxiliary types were not accepted.
Beast Tamers are extremely common now. Everyone thought they would soar to success by becoming a Beast Tamer, but what happened?
Reality dealt them a harsh blow.
Although the salary for security guards wasn’t low, at thirty thousand a month, Two-star Beast Tamers earned a hundred thousand a month.
Yet, after becoming a Beast Tamer, they still had to work as security guards.
How could anyone accept that!
It was like how people used to think that attending university made one superior, but after graduation, universities were everywhere. They couldn’t find a willing manual laborer for five thousand, but they could hire two university graduates willing to drive and work like beasts of burden.
No one expected Beast Tamers to depreciate so quickly.
However, Song Ranran offered another irresistible condition: after working for three months, the Pet Beast Center would arrange for someone to guide them into a Secret Realm for exploration, leading expeditions.
Only then were they able to barely recruit fifty people, forming a security team capable of patrolling in three shifts, 24 hours a day.
Many of these were acquaintances.
Song Ranran felt she was already an experienced hand in Secret Realms and could lead them to some familiar and safe Secret Realms she had visited for training.
She would lead the team, and with fifty people, she could manage them.
Although there were fewer security personnel now compared to before, the basic framework was in place.
Song Ranran also never expected to become a Security Captain in her life, and she had been diligently studying training knowledge.
Although Father Song was unwilling to give up his job, he came over on Saturdays and Sundays to help with training.
Father Song also personally promised these individuals that he would definitely accompany them when they entered the Secret Realm.
If it were just Song Ranran alone, a young girl, these people might have been skeptical of her Strength. But when Father Song spoke, his beer belly and weathered face were convincing. Moreover, he worked in the Enforcement Team and had military experience, so when he spoke,
the new recruits were quite convinced, believing Father Song was very capable.
Furthermore, Father Song had contracted two Pet Beasts, both with considerable combat power.
They all felt this was an excellent opportunity.
It’s important to know that for novice Beast Tamers, the highest mortality rate is in the Secret Realms; most rarely return.
Hiring an experienced leader for expeditions would cost anywhere from a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand.
Any treasures found would also have to be handed over.
Unlike here, Father Song directly promised no private fights; whoever found something kept it, and anything seen together would be shared equally.
Moreover, during this period, Father Song and Song Ranran had also taken a group of well-performing newcomers into a Secret Realm.
Father Song had long seen fields full of Spiritual Plants and piles of Fierce Beast Meat.
He had no interest in treasures worth only a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. He was very intelligent and only led them around the periphery.
If they encountered a Fierce Beast, ten or so people would surround and attack it, under the guise of cultivating their combat awareness.
If there were many Fierce Beasts, he would cover their retreat, urging them to run for their lives.
It’s important to remember that previously, it was stated that entry into the Pet Beast Secret Realm would take three months.
But now, they could enter after only a week of work.
The income from the Secret Realm was only tens of thousands, or perhaps a hundred thousand if lucky, but that was for Spiritual Plants they found themselves and Fierce Beast Meat they hunted themselves.
Father Song distributed it very fairly, completely different from their previous understanding.
They had friends who had been taken into Secret Realms by veteran Beast Tamers, who treated them like slaves, charged exorbitant prices, and offered no safety guarantees.
This greatly increased their favorability towards the Pet Beast Center, making them feel that staying here as security guards wasn’t bad. It wasn’t tiring, they had a job, and it was quite good. The Pet Beast Center also had powerful Beast Tamers overseeing it, ensuring good safety.
Consequently, they invited many of their previous friends to come and work here.
The number of security guards was sparsely gathered, totaling over eighty people.
Less than a hundred people.
Song Tiantian only took over the finances; all expenditures required her signature, but she didn’t need to manage other aspects. Some of the previous management had left, but some remained.
So, while Gongsun Yu was still there, Song Tiantian asked him to look after the Pet Beast Center.
She then took the opportunity to consume the Thousand-Year Vermilion Bird gifted by Gongsun Yu, advancing to a Six-star Beast Tamer.
The breakthrough process was not as difficult as Song Tiantian had imagined; it was generally quite simple.
Perhaps it was because the Hell Ghost Vine had also broken through to become a six-star Pet Beast.
This also led to Big White advancing to a five-star Pet Beast.
Song Tiantian’s Strength was immensely enhanced.
To be honest, if Dr. Bai didn’t return, Song Tiantian’s Strength alone would be enough to oversee the Pet Beast Center and withstand many High Level Fierce Beasts.
However, Song Tiantian still needed to wait for Dr. Bai’s return. Otherwise, if she were to lead Father Song and the others into a Fierce Beast Secret Realm, she wouldn’t feel at ease about the Pet Beast Center.
