Chapter 20: The Troubles of Becoming a Beast Tamer
After waking up, Song Tiantian slept through the afternoon.
Her mobile phone kept ringing, and there were several calls from Father Song.
The video she posted had 9.99 million likes and tens of thousands of comments, a huge difference compared to the previous hundred-plus comments.
She had become famous.
She even suspected someone had paid for boosted promotion for her.
However, becoming a Beast Tamer wasn’t as wonderful as Song Tiantian had imagined; Beast Tamers had their troubles too.
That was the extremely expensive ingredients Big White ate. She originally thought the Beast Food from the Pet Beast Center was a rip-off.
After a walk around outside, she discovered that the Golden Silk Bamboo Big White ate was shockingly expensive, costing nearly ten thousand for a single stalk, and at least a hundred thousand per day.
Planting bamboo in the Space wouldn’t work either.
The Space was very large, but there was nothing inside, not even soil.
Song Tiantian originally thought there would be Secret Realms outside the city, but there were none near Qingshan City. The reason it was dangerous outside the city was that Fierce Beasts from Secret Realms in the neighboring province would often escape and roam into this area.
But she had formed a Contract with Big White and couldn’t let Big White go hungry, so Song Tiantian spent all her ten thousand yuan on the bamboo Big White liked to eat.
She had previously tricked fifty thousand yuan from Bai Lian, spending only three thousand, leaving forty-seven thousand.
This money wouldn’t last long, and she needed to find a new source of income.
Although ordinary bamboo could be eaten, it wouldn’t be good for Big White’s development. Since Big White had become her Pet Beast, its treatment couldn’t possibly decline!
After consulting with netizens online, Song Tiantian learned that once a Beast Tamer obtained their certificate, they could log into professional Beast Tamer websites.
There would be a lot of information about Secret Realms there.
According to the Pet Beast Manual, Big White’s favorite foods included Golden Silk Bamboo, Purple Cloud Bamboo, Arrow Bamboo, and Qiong Bamboo. Furthermore, due to its digestion capabilities, Big White spent at least 10 hours a day eating, and 10 hours was considered fast; in extreme cases, it could be up to thirteen hours a day.
This meant she had to prepare ample food.
Besides bamboo, fruits were also Big White’s favorite, but Big White only liked to eat Water Cloud Fruit, Silver Frost Fruit, and Wood Spirit Fruit.
Bamboo was still the staple food.
Therefore, it was essential to plant bamboo in the Pet Beast Space, otherwise, she simply couldn’t afford to raise it. She originally thought her monthly salary of fifty thousand yuan was already high.
Now, it seemed to be far too little.
Becoming a Beast Tamer was truly not easy!
Fortunately, Big White was a herbivore. If it were a carnivore, could the Pet Beast Space even sustain it? She had never heard of such a thing.
How would one even raise such a creature!
The nearest Fierce Beast Secret Realm with bamboo was in Yuanshan County. This Secret Realm contained Arrow Bamboo and Qiong Bamboo; these two types of bamboo grew quickly and were considered One Star Spiritual Plants, fitting Big White’s diet.
She had initially considered ordering a custom alloy hoe, but then she thought it would be faster to buy an excavator.
After some bargaining, Song Tiantian bought a used excavator for two hundred and thirty thousand yuan, and also purchased twenty thousand yuan worth of fuel.
Song Tiantian felt that this fuel could last for several years.
Using a hoe was nowhere near as fast as using an excavator.
As for a hoe, a military shovel could be used for anything.
She also needed to procure a few bicycles; they could save on taxi fares, and her Space was large anyway.
There were also some food items: instant noodles, compressed biscuits, mineral water, chili peppers, and ham sausages.
She also needed to prepare pots, seasonings, and the essentials like firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Spices were also necessary so she could cook on-site.
She should also prepare a stove, otherwise, it would be too tiring to set up a pot!
Her Space was large, after all.
After this procurement, only fifteen thousand yuan remained.
It was only enough for Big White’s food for one day.
She was leaving today.
She would take leave directly tomorrow; it didn’t matter if she was there or not.
“Roar!”
Kill, kill, kill!
Just as Song Tiantian was about to return, she smelled a scent of blood.
“Help!”
Helpless people were screaming and running in panic.
This was the first time Song Tiantian had seen a rampaging Fierce Beast killing people. Its blood-red eyes and overwhelming killing intent were terrifying. It was also biting a bloody thigh, the fabric of which had been completely stained by blood, making its original color unrecognizable. One could also discern the state of the fabric’s owner at that moment.
Song Tiantian opened the Pet Beast Recipe Book.
Frenzied Copper-Hide Wolf: One Star, Inner Desire: Boiling hot fresh blood.
Either evolve through slaughter or find peace in death!
A One Star Fierce Beast, just like Big White. She seemed to have the strength to fight it.
“Big White, block it!”
This was a true Fierce Beast, devoid of any reason.
Pet Beasts were actually spiritual beasts, and they were gentle in nature.
Song Tiantian summoned Big White.
“Roar!”
Big White let out a loud roar, unafraid of the fight.
The wolf and the bear thus collided.
Big White had been raised in the Pet Beast Center since it was young and had no combat experience. Even though it felt a trace of fear, it still charged forward under Song Tiantian’s command.
However, it was regrettable; there were no miracles. The pale were weaker, the dark were stronger.
At this moment, the Copper-Hide Wolf had entered a state of complete madness, with no trace of fear in its eyes.
Big White was pinned to the ground by a claw from the Copper-Hide Wolf, but Big White’s defense was thick.
Seeing Big White in this state, Song Tiantian immediately took out the kitchen knife she had just bought and injected her Spiritual Power into it.
After she formed the Contract with Big White, her cultivation speed for the Beast Taming Heart Sutra greatly increased, breaking through to the first layer on the very first day.
Perhaps this was the power of a Pet Beast.
Song Tiantian borrowed a portion of Big White’s Power, leaped up, and swung her knife.
The Copper-Hide Wolf glanced at Song Tiantian with disdain; she was just an ordinary human. It was eager to drink the blood of its own kind.
It could sense the powerful energy contained within Big White, and if it devoured it, it would be able to break through.
“Clang!”
Song Tiantian felt her hand go numb, but the blade did not shatter because Song Tiantian had infused it with her own Spiritual Power. She had used Spiritual Power when baking Cold Fragrant Bamboo Silk, which was why she could process it so quickly.
Song Tiantian had used it many times before and was very skilled in controlling her Spiritual Power!
“Awoooooo~~~~~~”
A shrill wolf howl.
The Copper-Hide Wolf let out a piercing scream. Its weakness was its waist; its neck was very tough, but it had been injured by this woman’s slash.
Before the Copper-Hide Wolf could react, Song Tiantian quickly flipped and jumped down. She didn’t even retrieve the kitchen knife she had spent thirty yuan on; she abandoned it decisively.
“Big White, get up! I can defeat it, and you can too! Tear its waist and abdomen with your claws; its weakness is in the fur on its belly!”
The Copper-Hide Wolf wanted to continue attacking Song Tiantian; this woman was its greatest enemy.
But the moment it loosened its grip, Big White knocked it away.
When the Copper-Hide Wolf’s blood fell onto Big White, it finally understood. This creature was just scary-looking and nothing to be afraid of.
