Chapter 1

【Ding! Congratulations, host has activated the template system】

【System notification: To load a template object, it must perfectly match the template characteristics, otherwise it cannot be loaded】

【Current unlocked template: Naruto · Jiraiya】

【After loading a template, the next template can be unlocked. If the host loads a template for someone else, the host can choose a suitable ability from that template】

【System notification: After meeting certain conditions, the same template can be drawn multiple times】

【Since this is the host's first activation of the system, you have received a beginner's package x1】

Listening to the cold voice in his mind, Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback.

Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?

And what is this template system, what exactly is it?

With a dizzy head, Lu Yuan looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

It seemed to be a single apartment.

In the next second, a flood of memories surged into his mind.

Before long, Lu Yuan smiled bitterly.

It turned out he had been transported to a world of beast taming.

That's right, as an ordinary college student, Lu Yuan had been transported to a fantastical world of beast taming.

The technological level of this world was similar to his previous life.

The only difference was the existence of ferocious beasts and pet beasts.

The former were dangerous and powerful creatures, enemies of human survival.

The latter were reliable and powerful creatures, companions of human survival.

Due to the existence of ferocious beasts, the early human living environment was very precarious.

Fortunately, a pioneer discovered the existence of the 'Beast Taming Space.'

The so-called Beast Taming Space is actually a spiritual space.

It can accommodate the pet beasts one has contracted.

In the Beast Taming Space, pet beasts can rest and train. Some powerful beast tamers' spaces can even create suitable environments for the evolution of pet beasts.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Beast Taming Space that humans are no longer helpless against ferocious beasts.

There is a famous saying in this world: 'The human body has limits, but ferocious beasts do not.'

Clearly, it's a typical case of 'if you can't beat them, join them.'

Of course, ferocious beasts do have limits, but compared to humans, their upper limits are much higher.

Due to this special environment, beast tamers hold a high status in this world.

After all, beast tamers are the foundation of human survival, and it would be strange if they didn't have a high status.

To cultivate beast tamers, every city has a beast tamer school.

Lu Yuan's city is no exception.

His predecessor was a student at a beast taming high school.

However, due to talent issues, the predecessor had not awakened his Beast Taming Space and, in a state of self-abandonment, chose to end his life in the apartment, which is how Lu Yuan was transported here.

The predecessor's family was also very tragic. Both parents were beast tamers but died in a ferocious beast attack ten years ago.

The predecessor was naturally taken in by an orphanage.

However, orphans like the predecessor are not uncommon in this world.

And because of the contributions made by the predecessor's parents, the organization provided many benefits to the predecessor.

For example, a fixed monthly living allowance, free tuition, and bonus points for the college entrance exam.

It was a form of compensation for the predecessor.

The reason the predecessor had given up was that he was already sixteen years old.

Beast tamers have a characteristic: the earlier they awaken their Beast Taming Space, the better their talent.

Of course, there are always exceptions, and some who awaken late can still become powerful beast tamers.

There are three key times for awakening the Beast Taming Space: at eight years old, twelve years old, and sixteen years old.

Although the reason is unknown, numerous examples have proven that if one cannot awaken the Beast Taming Space at these three times, they lack the talent for beast taming.

After all, without a Beast Taming Space, one cannot enter into a contract with ferocious beasts.

The contract is the foundation and necessary condition for beast tamers.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was less than half a day away from his seventeenth birthday.

If he could not awaken his Beast Taming Space within half a day, he would lose the chance to become a beast tamer and could only be an ordinary person.

Without a pet beast, he could not participate in the beast tamer college entrance exam a year later, and the consequences of not awakening today were obvious.

'Well, a waste of talent + orphan, isn't this the standard template for the starting orphanage?'

After complaining, Lu Yuan quickly fell into thought.

Not knowing about the existence of beast tamers was one thing, but since he now knew about this extraordinary profession in this world,

Lu Yuan naturally wanted to become one of them.

Who would want to be a 'lone ranger' when they could be a 'dragon knight'? Even being a 'grass snake hero' would be fine.

But the predecessor spent sixteen years unable to awaken the Beast Taming Space. Could he awaken it in half a day?

Suddenly, Lu Yuan remembered his beginner's package.

Opening the system backpack, Lu Yuan saw two items.

One was the beginner's package, and the other was the unlocked character template.

He first looked at the character template.

【Template: Jiraiya (Normal Form)】

【Source: Naruto】

【Quality: Gold (Diamond)】

【Character Traits: Lecherous, open, likes beautiful women, likes peeping, kind-hearted】

The difference in quality should be the difference between the normal form and the sage form.

This made Lu Yuan's heart race, and when he saw Jiraiya's character traits, he became even more excited.

That's right, that's right, these traits are exactly what I am!

Lu Yuan thought happily as he clicked on the Jiraiya character template, wanting to load it onto himself.

【Ding! Detected insufficient compatibility between the host and 'Character Template · Jiraiya', unable to load】

What? Not compatible, are you kidding me!

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, feeling a hundred times dissatisfied.

I had a hundred gigabytes of learning materials on my computer before I was transported, all kinds of teacher action videos, and you say I'm not lecherous? I'm super lecherous, okay!

In a fit of anger, Lu Yuan felt like battling his system.

However, after a bout of impotent rage, Lu Yuan reluctantly accepted the reality that he was 'lecherous but not a peeper.'

No decent person likes peeping for no reason!

Since the path of loading the template was blocked, Lu Yuan could only pin his hopes on awakening the Beast Taming Space with the beginner's package.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan opened the beginner's package.

【Beginner's Package: Gold Level · Awakening Potion x1】

Seeing the contents of the beginner's package, Lu Yuan immediately felt like everything was arranged for him.

【Gold Level · Awakening Potion: A rare awakening potion, consuming it increases the awakening chance by 50%】

Lu Yuan looked at the clock on the wall, and the time until his seventeenth birthday was getting closer.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan drank the awakening potion in one gulp.

A warm current instantly surged through his body.

Lu Yuan began to continuously impact his Beast Taming Space according to the meditation method he remembered from school.

In his memory, when the predecessor tried to impact the Beast Taming Space, it felt like hitting a wall with an egg.

But now, although it was still somewhat difficult for Lu Yuan to impact the Beast Taming Space,

There was a continuous force within his body helping him to strike the Beast Taming Space.

Bang!

With a sound like shattering glass, Lu Yuan saw a new, colorful, and wondrous environment.

At ten in the morning, after spending the entire night impacting the Beast Taming Space, Lu Yuan opened his eyes again.

Feeling the changes within his body, Lu Yuan excitedly clenched his fists.

'Great, I finally became a beast tamer!'

With the Beast Taming Space, Lu Yuan's next goal was clear.

That was to find a pet beast that matched the Jiraiya template.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took out his phone and dialed a familiar number...
