Taming Unrational Animals

Episode 6

Three months of apprenticeship passed in the blink of an eye.

At the pet breeding base in Icefield City, in the apprentice breeder dormitory, most of the apprentices were packing their luggage.

Internship experience so far has made this internship get many benefits. But it's time to go. Compared to reluctantly, many people were looking forward to it more.

Like Shi Yu. He was looking forward to it because after his internship ended and he got his certificate, he was finally able to do the things he wanted!

During the internship, Shi Yu belonged to the more grounded and hardworking type of employees. He has finished his work very well.

Other apprentices would play cards in pairs or threes when they were free, but Shi Yu was different.

For now, he plays the loner character of his predecessor and rarely interacts with others.

Of course, Shi Yu was not restrained. He couldn't be bothered to communicate with his fellow apprentices because there was something more important.

Compared to communicating with people, she prefers talking to pets and fostering bonding.

Not only could he train his telepathic talent, but he could also find an opportunity to learn the skill secretly!

If not for the skill index having a recording limit, he felt that he had already copied dozens of skills.

Shi Yu found that telepathy and Skills Index worked better together.

In the future, if they encountered powerful supernatural beings, it seemed like a good combination to use telepathy to make them comfortable and use skill guides to deceive them…

Mmm.. In short, he did not waste these three months.

After successfully obtaining the apprentice certificate, Shi Yu left happily.

Although there would be no convenient place for him to copy skills in the future, he could eventually personally contract pets and use skill guides. He's still pretty excited.

The more he understood this world, the more he realized that there was no future here if he did not become a Beast Tamer.

For the sake of his future standard of living, he set small goals. He'll be a professional Beast Tamer in a year.

…

The morning sun shone on Shi Yu through the thin clouds.

After walking out of the pet-breeding base in Icefield City, Shi Yu, who was carrying a backpack, turned around and looked one last time.

Logically speaking, this is also a place that sells children pets, and there are even many types…

However, Shi Yu, who had apprenticed here before, knew that the pet children here were too expensive…

Of course, this is not a matter of pet bases. That's his problem.

Therefore, it is better to live in the suburbs.

Although there are fewer pets, at least the locals have a preferential policy.

Shi Yu City was currently called Icefield City. The location of the school and its apprentices are both in this city. In that country, it was considered a second-tier city, and there were over a hundred second-tier cities like that.

The city itself is actually quite developed. After all, there were only nine Tier 1 cities that could destroy Icefield City.

It's the same everywhere. The more developed a place is, the more expensive it will cost to live there. Hence, Shi Yu could only go to the lower end for now.

He was born in a suburb under the Icefield Town called Ping Cheng District, and despite being on the outskirts of the city, after reconstruction, his beast taming industry had become relatively developed.

In addition, to support the local animal taming industry, locals get discounts when registering as a Animal Tamer and buying pets. His predecessor had taken advantage of an event to immediately pay a deposit for Iron Eater's son.

Right now, it should be time to collect his future pet.

After the internship ended, Shi Yu returned to his school to complete the procedure. After obtaining all the certificates, he returned to Ping Cheng District.

Ten years ago, the district had been attacked by waves of ferocious beasts, and many families were destroyed, including the Shi Yu family.

However, after a long time, order has been restored here.

A lot has changed in the last 10 years. Ping Cheng District, which previously had no defense facilities, had built a high wall and placed a branch of the Beast Taming Association and Beast Taming Forces.

Although Ping Cheng was not as prosperous as the other regions, it was also not too backward. At the very least, traffic and communication can be passed. It's just that the entertainment sector is lagging behind.

In the center of Icefield City, there were all kinds of beast competitions.

However, in Ping Cheng, beast taming competitions were much rarer.

When he finally returned to Ping Cheng, Shi Yu's first goal was not to go home. Instead, the goal is very clear. It was one of the three main breeding bases in Ping Cheng, the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base.

He had done all the procedures before he came back so that he could get a pet as soon as possible.

He can't wait any longer.

There are three pet breeding bases in Ping Cheng.

All three were established by the government, but the types of pets available were very few. The highest level of pet species within it was only a mid-level transcendent, which was incomparable to the official pet breeding base in Icefield City.

The Iron Bamboo Nursery Base Shi Yu was going to head to was a family-run base.

It was located in the dense forest of Iron Bamboo behind a mountain in Ping Cheng District, and around eight hundred Iron Eaters were raised there.

The iron-eating beasts were considered special pets in Ping Cheng and even in this country. Across the country, the number of artificially bred iron-eating beasts may not exceed 5,000.

It's even more so in other countries.

It is worth mentioning that since this world is different from Earth, most of the territory is occupied by supernatural beings. Humans have only seven countries in which they live.

The country where Shi Yu was currently was known by other countries as the Ancient State of Shining in the East, one of the oldest countries. It was shortened to Dong Huang, meaning Eastern Light.

Immediately, Shi Yu boarded a bus to the mountain behind Ping Cheng District, with the intention to climb it.

A flat road was built on a mountain. In addition to being a place of captivity, it is also open to tourists at certain times.

However, it doesn't seem like it's open day at the moment. Cold and quiet environment.

After taking a few steps, Shi Yu arrived at the guard post of the Iron Bamboo Captivity Base. This was the only way, and the surroundings had been closed. Shi Yu looked at the pavilion nearby and walked over.

Near the window of the pavilion home, an old man in a green suit with thin hair was reading a newspaper. When he saw someone approaching, he pushed his reading glasses and tried to see who it was.

Shi Yu was silent.

Are these guards real?

Forget it, I can't judge a book by its cover…

Perhaps this seemingly unreliable person could casually summon a gigantic dragon.

“Oh.” Even though he looked out of place, he was not an idiot.

After hearing Shi Yu's words, he immediately understood.

“Wait a minute, I will tell the farmer inside to come,” replied the guard and then turned the house phone on the table.

After he explained the situation over the phone, Shi Yu only needed to wait for a moment.

A two-meter tall plump figure with a black-and-white intermediate appearance walked out of the breeding area. The upper body is round, but the lower part is short.

Shi Yu looked at the person walking over and thought hard.

Following which, this person, who looked like a giant panda no matter how one looked at it, opened the door from within and came in front of Shi Yu.

He pointed at the mark on his chest.

It says, Staff .

“Halo.” He rubbed his bear claws while speaking in an indistinguishable low voice.

Shi Yu: “?”

Can't they send some of their normal employees?

“No need to be surprised. This is just an Iron Orc costume, ” staff member said.

It's because you're wearing a costume that surprises me! Who would wear it on such a hot day?!

“I am a staff member here, Lin Xiuzhu.”

“I Shi Yu,” said. “But don't you feel hot wearing that?”

“There is no other way. This is all to better understand the mood of the iron-eating beast, ” said Lin Xiuzhu. “If you want the iron-eating beasts to trust you, you must understand them well. This is the most basic skill of a breeder.”

Shi Yu: “It makes sense.”

Believe, ass.

Whatever you say.

As long as you are happy.

“I remember in that information, Mr. Shi Yu, you are also a graduate of the breeding specialization program, right? No wonder you understand me. ”

It shouldn't have been many people who had ordered the iron-eating beasts recently, but this fellow actually knew Shi Yu's information through his name.

“Yes, but I'm still a newcomer. Away from you, Senior Lin.”

Although his name was very masculine, Shi Yu could still tell that the other party's voice was that of a girl. He also concluded that the other party is also a graduate of the nursery program.

Using the word “Senior” immediately draws them closer. I hope there will be a discount.

Lin Xiuzhu: “You flattered me. Anyone can try this method. After you receive your pet, I can sell two sets of doll clothes at partial discount.”

Shi Yu: “?”

There are discounts, but not full.

Are you a business genius?

No, thank you!

Shi Yu did not say it out loud for now. He would reject her after he chose his pet…

Selling food in addition is one thing, but selling cosplay outfits too?

Furthermore, this staff member named Lin Xiuzhu brought Shi Yu to the pavilion.

He then began taking off his costume.

At this moment, Shi Yu finally saw what the person looked like.

Without the doll clothes, she looked like an adult woman of around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

She had delicate features, a tall figure, and beautiful black hair. However, since she had just put on a doll costume, her hair was a little messy.

However, he did not seem to mind. His expression was very casual.

Shi Yu really wanted to ask her how much she liked pandas.

That was because the clothes under his costume were still panda-themed.

He wore white shorts with black spots, a loose but slightly bulging black-and-white sweater, and a hat with panda ears.

Will you sell me a set of these clothes later?

He took a deep breath and said to Shi Yu, “Come register first. Oh yes, have you brought all the ingredients?”

The procedure for buying and collecting pets from a breeding base is quite troublesome.

Not to mention Shi Yu wanted to borrow money to buy his pet.

The breeding base should get all the certification materials.

This trip will take a long time.

Fortunately, Shi Yu had already filed all the necessary documents when he was in Icefield City, so the materials should have been quite complete by now.

“Ya.”

Furthermore, Shi Yu enlisted with the help of Lin Xiuzhu, and the two of them verified the relevant materials.

After verification, Lin Xiuzhu nodded and said, “Then, you should be able to collect pets today.”

“I can do it today? Then, can I choose now?” Shi Yu was shocked.

The previous deposit did not specify which animal he should take.

Therefore, it was up to the Beast Tamer to decide which iron-eating beast child to choose. The affinity between the two sides is very important.

Lin Xiuzhu shook her head and said, “You are late. If you arrive early, you may be able to choose.

“The current situation is like this – in this collection of iron-eating beasts, only one is left. In addition, there is also something wrong with his physical and personality.”.

“...” Shi Yu dumbfounded. What the hell is going on? This development…
