Chapter 4: Mother Song’s Advice
“Song Tiantian, you can repeat a year and retake the university entrance exam.”
“Mom, although our family isn’t poor, we aren’t rich either. Besides, Song Jiaojiao got into a prestigious university, and there are many expenses. Didn’t she say she needed money to buy a Pet Beast? In the future, professions related to Pet Beasts will definitely be popular industries. It’s good for me to stay here.”
“Tiantian, do you know how many people have died at the Qingshan Pet Beast Center? Why do you think they hire junior high and high school students, and offer staff quotas and good treatment?”
“What good treatment? There’s no salary for the first three months here, only room and board. What university student can endure these tough days? It’s only me, willing to stay here to learn knowledge.”
Song Tiantian said this, but her heart skipped a beat.
When she rushed in, there was danger. She wasn’t sure herself. She thought that she was young, healthy, liked to exercise, and had practiced martial arts. She would use Beast Food as a shield and then run.
The people at the Pet Beast Center definitely wouldn’t stop her.
There was danger, but if she didn’t try, she wouldn’t have a chance.
However, Dr. Bai agreed without hesitation, his eyes and tone showing no fluctuation, very calm.
“Tiantian, your Uncle Wang’s son went there last month and died this month. Although they gave a million in compensation, how can money be more important than life!”
Mother Song sighed earnestly.
Song Tiantian was already searching for information about the Qingshan Pet Beast Center online.
Before, she had only searched for how to care for Pet Beasts and some basic knowledge about them.
There was a lot of negative news about the Qingshan Pet Beast Center online.
The most famous was the “Dragon Fruit Incident,” where a Pet Beast was beaten until its mouth was full of blood, like a dragon fruit.
There were also videos of staff members abusing Pet Beasts.
Song Tiantian paused, closed the search page, and said to Mother Song on the phone, “If what’s said online is true, this Pet Beast Center would have changed owners long ago, and the Enforcement Team wouldn’t have let them off. How could it still be open?
I’m very busy, I have to go to work tomorrow!”
Song Tiantian hung up the phone without saying anything else. From the other end, Song Jiaojiao’s voice could faintly be heard: “Mom, has my sister come back? That Qingshan Pet Beast Center is a hell that devours people without spitting out bones.”
Song Jiaojiao had never been kind to her. Song Jiaojiao would definitely not be thinking of her well-being.
That medicine could kill people. The original host was poisoned to death like that.
She was lucky to survive, yet Song Jiaojiao showed no apology and instead targeted her in various ways.
If the Qingshan Pet Beast Center truly had problems, why would so many people attend the interview?
Song Jiaojiao, she had originally intended to let her off the hook for the sake of the original host, but she didn’t expect Song Jiaojiao to still want to target her.
Song Tiantian looked at the bank card she had just obtained. Ten thousand had already been deposited into it. Everything else was illusory, only money was real. This was the truth she had realized after working for a long time.
Song Tiantian didn’t sleep all night. She spent the entire night cultivating the Beast Taming Cultivation Method given by the System.
Only with Strength could she better protect herself.
The employee dormitory was inside the Pet Beast Center. The Pet Beast Center was much larger than Song Tiantian had imagined, and it even had an artificial park specifically for Pet Beasts to play in.
Being confined in a House for a long time would cause Depression in Pet Beasts.
On her first day at work, Bai Jing took Song Tiantian to carefully tour the Pet Beasts at the Pet Beast Center. Currently, there were nearly a hundred Pet Beasts, which was quite a lot for a small place like Qingshan County.
The cheapest Pet Beasts cost around one hundred thousand, and these generally had no Contract Value.
For example, Low Level Sprites, besides collecting Flower Nectar like bees and taking care of plants, were basically of little use. A gardener could possess such abilities themselves, and Sprites were very small, so they couldn’t take care of many plants.
Low Level Iron-eating Beasts were actually one million each. The reason was that Iron-eating Beasts ate iron blocks, making them most suitable for operating garbage recycling stations.
Moreover, Iron-eating Beasts were very strong and possessed some combat ability.
However, the most sought-after were Snow Lions, which were good-looking, strong, and possessed supernatural powers.
To Contract a Snow Lion, it would cost at least tens of millions.
Song Tiantian actually quite liked that Snow Lion, but unfortunately, it was too expensive.
Going to work was, overall, quite relaxed. She only needed to follow Dr. Bai and record the Data of these Pet Beasts, without having to work Overtime.
Dr. Bai was doing Research every day. That Research was a bit complex, and Song Tiantian’s knowledge couldn’t fully understand it. She didn’t need to record that Data either.
As for caring for the Pet Beasts, there were dedicated Feeders.
Seeing the Employee ID Card on Song Tiantian’s chest, they knew Song Tiantian’s Identity and were very polite to her.
Song Tiantian also only now realized that Dr. Bai actually had over a dozen Assistants.
The young man who fetched water for the Snow Lion that day was surnamed Jiang, named Jiang Su. He was reportedly pursuing his Graduate Student studies and was interning under Dr. Bai.
He was very idle, just as idle as Song Tiantian. Both of them could be considered slackers.
Bai Jing, on the other hand, was extremely busy, replying to messages even while eating.
“Tiantian, you came to work today! I only found out today that you are the famous Zero Score Sister online. You’re so cool, I really admire you.”
Jiang Su was a naive and sweet person. His words were not malicious, but they were not very pleasant to hear.
She really didn’t want to be reminded of the nickname “Zero Score Sister.”
“By the way, can you help me with my Homework? I’m just a high school student, and there are many Things I don’t understand. You’re a graduate student, so you must know more than me.”
Song Tiantian pointed to a document and asked Jiang Su.
She could understand the individual Text on the document, but when combined, she couldn’t understand it.
“No problem.”
Jiang Su said to Song Tiantian very enthusiastically.
The group of assistants around Dr. Bai were all trying their best to compete for favor, only he was forced upon Dr. Bai by his father.
His university was only possible because his father donated a research institute to the school.
It was rare to find someone even worse than him, so he was very enthusiastic.
To not even know such simple common knowledge, she was too stupid! However, she was just a high school student, so having limited intelligence was quite normal.
A flicker of doubt crossed Jiang Su’s mind, and then he resumed teaching.
Fortunately, Song Tiantian was not stupid and understood things quickly.
He felt that Song Tiantian just hadn’t learned it before.
“Assistant Song, quickly go outside and see, someone seems to be looking for you.”
Just as Song Tiantian was happily learning, a girl suddenly ran in and said to Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian frowned. If the person looking for her was friendly, the other party wouldn’t have this expression.
Although she possessed some of the original host’s Memory, it was like watching a Movie. She actually didn’t know much knowledge. She had studied at home for a while before, but today, with someone teaching her specifically, her feelings were completely different.
Song Tiantian could only follow the other person out.
