Chapter 1

Some people die, but they don’t really die...

After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly sat up in bed.

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment, and a mix of emotions flooded his mind.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu instinctively looked around, only to become even more bewildered.

A single-person dormitory?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should still be in a hospital room.

And his body... how could there be no injuries at all?

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept through the room, finally stopping at a mirror on the bedside table.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome.

But the problem was, this wasn't him!

His former self was a handsome young man in his twenties, who had been working for some time.

And now, this face looked like that of a high school student...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Please don't tell me the surgery was successful...

His body and appearance had changed; this wasn't just a matter of surgery, but of magic.

He had completely turned into another person!

Could it be... that he had crossed over?

Apart from the mirror on the bedside table, which was clearly placed in a feng shui-unfriendly position, Shi Yu also found three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up, and the titles instantly made him silent.

"Essential Handbook for New Pet Trainers"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Guide to Evaluating Non-Human Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu: ???

The first two titles were somewhat normal, but what about the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's expression turned serious, and he reached out, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly throbbed with pain, and a flood of memories surged in.

Ice Plains City.

Pet Beast Training Base.

Intern Pet Beast Trainer.

Beast Tamer?

What a mess...

It took Shi Yu several minutes to process this sudden influx of memories.

After a long while, Shi Yu raised his head with a complex expression.

He had guessed right; he seemed to have really crossed over.

Not only because of these memories, but also because only his appearance wouldn't deceive him.

As everyone knows, ugly people don't have the qualifications to cross over or be crossed into. This has become a law.

He was so handsome, so he must have crossed over...

After an accidental death, he had crossed over to a world where beast taming was the mainstream.

Although the room looked like a modern single-person dormitory, he was no longer on Earth but on a place called Blue Star.

This world was very unique, with a culture entirely different from Earth's.

Since ancient times, there had been extraordinary powers here.

These extraordinary powers were not the martial arts, magic, or cultivation that Shi Yu had seen in various films and TV shows.

Instead, every creature had the potential for extraordinary evolution.

Through continuous evolution, most animals and plants could awaken higher intelligence and powerful abilities.

Even non-living things like mountains, rivers, and snow could evolve into life forms.

These extraordinary beings all possessed formidable powers, such as lightning, fire, and hurricanes, just like the divine beasts in Earth's mythology.

In this context, in the ancient times of this world, weak humans could only survive by relying on powerful beings as protectors, forming tribes.

However, after a long period of development, humans gradually developed their own extraordinary powers, specifically the ability to tame beasts.

Some people, through meditation, could open an extradimensional space in their minds and capture extraordinary beings through this cage-like space.

At first, humans only forcibly captured weak extraordinary beings, using them as servants to work and fight. They were still unable to resist powerful extraordinary beings.

But later, it was discovered that extraordinary beings grew much faster in the taming space and were more likely to break through racial limitations and evolve.

This discovery gave humans hope for rising, and they began to study the taming space.

Following this, with the continuous development of taming abilities and the gradual improvement of the taming system, a variety of powerful battle pets were cultivated, and the profession of Beast Tamer emerged on the world stage.

With the rise of Beast Tamers, many extraordinary beings also began to willingly sign contracts with humans, hoping to grow quickly through human extraordinary powers and break through racial limitations.

By a few thousand years later, humans had established a glorious taming civilization, controlling the most resource-rich regions of the planet.

In this taming era, Beast Tamers naturally became symbols of status and class.

Every industry was closely related to Beast Tamers, and only by becoming a Beast Tamer could one become an elite in various fields.

A famous Beast Tamer's appearance fee could be astronomical.

A city with a powerful Beast Tamer could directly boost its economic level.

In most industries, Beast Tamers occupied core positions, and the top positions were also controlled by Beast Tamers...

However... although humans had risen, there were still many fierce beasts active in various places that could not be tamed, often causing disasters to human cities.

This is why many cities hoped to attract powerful Beast Tamers.

And in the memories... his predecessor's family had perished in a beast tide.

"Beast Taming World... I have a general understanding."

"But why is it so miserable even after crossing over?"

Shi Yu took a deep breath. Crossing over was one thing, but in such a dangerous world, it would be more comfortable to cross over as a second-generation Beast Tamer.

Ideally, he would have a dragon girl as a guardian and a fairy as a companion from a young age, making the crossover worthwhile.

But unfortunately, crossing over seemed to be a skill, just like being reborn.

He was still called Shi Yu, but his identity was no longer the mythologist Shi Yu from Earth. Instead, he was a plain intern pet beast trainer at the Ice Plains City Pet Beast Training Base.

Not a Beast Tamer... more like a helper to Beast Tamers.

This place was specifically for raising pet beasts... he was currently learning how to raise pet beasts here.

His daily tasks involved feeding pet beast cubs, cleaning up after them, and maintaining hygiene.

A typical low-level worker.

However, this explained the content of those books; he was learning...

His predecessor had worked so hard, hoping to become a Beast Tamer, but reality... as an orphan who couldn't even support himself, talking about raising pet beasts was out of the question.

Given Shi Yu's family background, becoming a Beast Tamer was extremely difficult.

But Shi Yu was also lucky. A bit of talent and effort had at least tied his current profession to Beast Tamers, and there was still a chance to become one in the future.

He had even made many preparations, deciding to take out a loan to buy a high-quality pet beast cub and become a Beast Tamer.

At a young age, he had decided to take on a pet beast loan.

Shi Yu felt defeated; indeed, it was very miserable.

With a large mortgage and car loan, he could empathize a lot, never expecting to still have loans after crossing over.

But let's not get too far ahead. For now, Shi Yu was still a humble worker.

And he had a task waiting for him soon, a 6-6-6 work schedule, with strict time constraints.

To be honest, he hadn't woken up at six in the morning since high school...

Shi Yu rubbed his head in pain and walked to a wall where a work schedule was posted.

This was the weekly task list issued yesterday. As an intern at the training base, his daily tasks were pre-arranged.

Today's task... Shi Yu looked at the content under Monday.

Morning: Feed the snow wolf pack (individual task)... Transport feed (group task)...

Afternoon: Record the growth data of the green caterpillars (group task)...

Hmm...

If his memory served him right... snow wolves were pack animals and extremely fierce and brutal carnivorous pet beasts, right?

Such a dangerous task... is the individual assignment serious?

Shi Yu fell into deep thought.

He had been bitten by a dog as a child and was naturally afraid of canine animals, making this task quite toxic for him.

"But it shouldn't be a big problem..."

Shi Yu suddenly remembered that he had the "Telepathy" talent, which allowed him to communicate normally with any creature. It shouldn't cause any issues...

The reason he could intern here was not only because of his excellent theoretical grades in school but also because he possessed the special taming talent called "Telepathy."

When humans successfully opened a taming space through meditation, they would also awaken a taming talent.

Apart from not having a contracted initial pet beast, Shi Yu had already successfully opened a taming space and awakened his talent.

This was thanks to the state incorporating the meditation method for opening a taming space into compulsory education in modern times, and Shi Yu was detected to have taming talent during that phase.

Taming talents come in many types, but they are mainly divided into two categories: enhancement and special, with an awakening ratio of about 9:1.

Enhancement talents, such as fire enhancement, are best suited for Beast Tamers who cultivate pet beasts with fire abilities.

In battle, Beast Tamers can use their taming talents to enhance the power of their pet beasts' fire-based skills.

Compared to enhancement talents, special talents are very complex and irregular, with significant differences in the abilities they manifest.

For example, the special talent "Sharing" allows a Beast Tamer to share a skill from a contracted pet beast, gaining an extraordinary ability.

Generally, Beast Tamers with sharing-type talents have stronger self-protection and combat capabilities than ordinary Beast Tamers.

Another special talent, "Fusion," allows a Beast Tamer to temporarily merge with their pet beast into a new form. Could beast-eared girls really exist?

As for Shi Yu's telepathy talent, although it is also a special talent, it is relatively common and is one of the most common special talents.

Beast Tamers with the telepathy talent, once proficient, can communicate with any intelligent creature without language barriers.

Typically, Beast Tamers can only understand the thoughts of their contracted pet beasts, but those with the telepathy talent can communicate with others' pet beasts and wild creatures.

In the history of the Beast Tamer profession, although the telepathy talent cannot directly form combat power, its status is unshakable and indispensable.

After all, if one can communicate with other species, many unnecessary battles can be avoided.

In fields like healthcare, teaching, research, and training within the Beast Tamer profession, core positions are often held by Beast Tamers with the telepathy talent. It is a versatile talent.

With such a practical taming talent, he should be able to get along well with wild creatures...

Thinking about this, Shi Yu felt relieved.

As for using "Telepathy," although he wasn't very proficient, he should be reasonably good at it.

He subconsciously tried to use his taming talent, listening to the surroundings, intending to practice the steps in advance to avoid any mishaps.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened...

As the taming space in Shi Yu's brain domain vibrated, his vision suddenly blurred, and then, in his mind, a black stone book appeared.

He seemed... to have awakened a second taming talent!
