Chapter 3: The Pet Beast Center Isn’t a Good Place?
Song Tiantian was not foolish, nor was the Snow Lion. When Song Tiantian approached with the Pet Beast Food, the Snow Lion retracted its killing intent. It didn’t want to die; who wouldn’t want to live if they could? It was just starving and had reached its limit.
Therefore, Song Tiantian wasn’t actually that afraid of the Snow Lion.
Her leg cramps were purely due to having too much money and being too excited.
She had never done such a high-paying job before.
On average, it was about two thousand a day.
This place had weekends off, a high salary with eight days off per month.
Dr. Bai glanced at the foolishly happy Song Tiantian and suddenly asked with some curiosity, “Are you really not afraid of death?”
“Dr. Bai, I am afraid of death. Next time, I might not bravely rush forward like that, but I had no choice. I felt unwell during the Gaokao, was dizzy, and got a zero score. My life entered a brief period of social death. When I went out to look for a job, people saw me and said they didn’t welcome those who scored zero. I wanted to say a few more words to prove my abilities, but the security guard already dragged me out.
If I don’t find a job soon, I’ll starve on the streets. I’ve loved raising pets since I was young, and I have some understanding and research on Pet Beasts. Believe me, I can definitely handle this job.”
Dr. Bai left lightly, without disturbing a single cloud, but the Assistant Miss beside Dr. Bai helped Song Tiantian walk out slowly.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for saving an innocent Pet Beast, and receiving the reward, Beast Taming Heart Sutra! 】
Song Tiantian hadn’t expected that the System, which had been pretending to be dead and offline since she transmigrated, would actually react.
This System never issued any missions.
Normally, no matter how Song Tiantian summoned it, it wouldn’t appear, making Song Tiantian almost believe she didn’t have a System.
Although Beast Taming Cultivation Methods were common, they still needed to be bought with money. What the System produced must be extraordinary.
Moreover, the Assistant Miss beside Dr. Bai was a very kind person. She quickly helped Song Tiantian complete the onboarding procedures. Upon learning that Song Tiantian didn’t have a bank card, she directly had the finance department give Song Tiantian cash.
The employee dormitory was also better than Song Tiantian had imagined, it was a one-bedroom, one-living-room luxury apartment.
“Sister Jing, does our Pet Beast Center have any confidentiality agreements? Can I post on social media that I now have a formal job? I can occasionally film Pet Beast videos. After all, my previous grades weren’t very satisfactory, and my parents are very disappointed in me.”
Bai Jing also had the surname Bai and was Dr. Bai’s assistant. However, she seemed to hold a high position at the Pet Beast Center, as all the staff members showed her great respect when she took Song Tiantian to complete the procedures.
“Tiantian, you don’t need to keep your work here a secret. However, filming Pet Beast videos requires Dr. Bai’s consent. If you really want to film some videos, first write an application form, and I’ll help you submit it for approval by the department supervisor, and then by Dr. Bai…”
Bai Jing was very patient with Song Tiantian; she wasn’t this kind to everyone.
She clearly understood that Song Tiantian likely possessed a special Talent that could make Pet Beasts friendly towards her.
This wasn’t an exception. In the early days of the Fierce Beast invasion, people had no professional knowledge and understood nothing, yet some were still able to Contract Fierce Beasts and turn them into Pet Beasts. This was the power of Pet Beast affinity.
People like that still exist now, but they are extremely rare.
This was because the Pet Beasts at the Pet Beast Center had been fed a lot of Beast Food, yet no one could increase the Pet Beasts’ Affection Level so significantly.
To casually touch the fur on a Pet Beast’s neck was impossible; one couldn’t even get close.
This was also the reason why she treated Song Tiantian so well: because Song Tiantian was useful.
“Thank you, Sister Jing.”
Song Tiantian lay on the bed and sent a message to the parents of this world, informing them that she had started working at Qingshan Pet Beast Center and would not be returning home, but would study Pet Beast knowledge diligently here. She realized that not going to school could also lead to a path.
If her family cared about the original host, they might be worried since she hadn’t returned home tonight.
She had truly had enough of being constantly belittled by her family these past few days, just like the feeling of being mocked by her parents when she couldn’t find a job and had to stay at home. However, she had nowhere else to live, so she had to stay. This morning, after a big argument with her younger sister, she was kicked out of the house by her parents.
The original host’s Father was a taxi driver, and her Mother was a factory worker. Their income wasn’t high, but it was relatively stable, and they lived a decent life.
There was an Eldest Sister named Song Ranran. The Eldest Sister was a model, very beautiful, and her income was not low. Her biggest dream was to marry into a Wealthy Family and use a large amount of money to maintain her beauty.
Her younger sister was named Song Jiaojiao, and they were twins. She was also eighteen this year, born five minutes after the original host.
Her and her younger sister’s Grades were both very good, consistently ranking among the top.
However, she remembered that on the night of the original host’s Exam, after drinking the Fruit Tea her younger sister poured for her, she had no further memory. When Song Tiantian transmigrated, she was already in the examination hall.
Therefore, Song Tiantian wanted to get the Fruit Tea tested, but her usually lazy younger sister surprisingly took the initiative to enter her Room and wash the unfinished Fruit Tea cup clean.
After that, she secretly observed her younger sister every day. Every time her younger sister threw out the trash, she would secretly rummage through it, hoping to find any medicine packets, but she found nothing. That’s why she wanted to search her younger sister’s Room, hoping to find some clues.
She was caught in the act, and that’s how she and her younger sister had a big fight.
One scored zero, and the other got into a Key University. It was hard for parents not to be biased.
She originally wanted to reveal the truth, but the original host’s residual consciousness controlled Song Tiantian; she didn’t want Song Tiantian to pursue the matter further.
The original host was truly a good person, and she was grateful that Song Tiantian helped her uncover the truth.
The original host transformed into a pure stream of Mental Energy, activating the System and helping her awaken the ability to understand the Inner Voice of animals.
In the original host’s memories, all the memories concerning her family were very beautiful.
Actually, Song Tiantian couldn’t understand why Song Jiaojiao would poison her. After all, although Song Jiaojiao’s Grades were good, she couldn’t get first place. Without being first, was there really a need for such competition among the top thirty?
If the original host were fully alive, she would definitely want to know the truth and understand Song Jiaojiao’s thoughts.
But in the original host’s residual consciousness, there was only love for her family.
Since Song Tiantian had taken over someone else’s body, she decided to respect the original host’s wishes and not dwell on the past. She would start a brand new life.
“Ring ring ring!”
Just as Song Tiantian was recalling fragments of the original host’s memories.
Her Mobile Phone rang.
The contact was saved as “Mom.”
Song Tiantian felt a trace of comfort; her family still cared about the original host.
“Song Tiantian, you cannot stay at Qingshan Pet Beast Center. You must come home immediately.”
“I’m not going home. I failed the Gaokao, but my life isn’t over. Life’s margin for error is actually quite high, and I still have a beautiful future.”
Song Tiantian didn’t want to go back and endure Song Jiaojiao’s malice and the passive-aggression from Father Song and Mother Song.
Even without Mind Reading, she could sense Song Jiaojiao’s naked malice.
