Beast Taming Begins with Involuting Pets

The smart bracelet on the table kept flashing, indicating that there were unread messages.

Lin Manman opened her bracelet and found a message from her classmate and good friend Fang Yaqi. She looked at the time, it was 11:30 pm, so it seemed like school was over at noon.

"Manman, why did you ask for leave?"

"I heard about your brother's situation. Is it serious? Did the doctor say when he will wake up?"

"Today, the class teacher mentioned that we will go to the Awakening Temple to participate in the career awakening in three days. Did he inform you?"

"I have already paid for your travel expenses. I will send you the specific arrangements and precautions later."

Seeing the series of news, Lin Manman felt warm in her heart. The world is fickle, and people's true nature is revealed in times of adversity.

She used to be bathed in the halo of her father and brother. She was also a well-known figure in school and had good relationships with people. But after her father disappeared, it was obvious that some of her friends stopped contacting her. When her brother was injured this time, Fang Yaqi was the only one who knew the news and sent her regards.

I checked the message from my head teacher first. There was indeed a message for me to leave three days later. I glanced at it and then went back to reply to Fang Yaqi.

"Please refund my travel expenses. I will not attend the awakening ceremony. I have already awakened my profession on my own."

People in this world have a chance to awaken their profession for free before the age of fifteen. However, if they awaken their profession before the age of fifteen, they can save this free opportunity for upgrading. After all, it costs 500,000 Chinese yuan to open an awakening array. Unless they are very wealthy, most people who awaken on their own will cherish this free opportunity.

"What did you say????" Fang Yaqi's message was replied almost instantly, and a string of question marks almost overflowed the screen.

Before she could reply, a call request popped up, and Lin Manman answered it without hesitation.

As soon as the call was connected, a sweet female voice came out in a hurry. "Are you serious? Have you really awakened on your own? What's your profession? Oh, there are too many questions I want to ask. Where are you now? Is it convenient for us to meet?"

Lin Manman suddenly remembered that Fang Yaqi's mother worked in a spirit animal shop, and she agreed on an idea.

"Then I'll wait for you at the hot pot restaurant we often go to. I'll give you 30 minutes. If you arrive on time, it's my treat. If you're late, it's your treat."

Fang Yaqi hung up the phone in a hurry. Lin Manman chuckled. This girl probably didn't want her to spend money at this time, but was also afraid that her self-esteem would be hurt.

Will her self-esteem be hurt? You're overthinking it. People who just want to lie down and live off their parents don't have any sense of shame.

The hot pot restaurant that Fang Yaqi mentioned can be reached in 30 minutes on foot, but Lin Manman still chose to take the public land vehicle.

Hongyu was just born and was curious about everything. Lin Manman was reluctant to throw a snake into the pet space, so she let her hang around her neck. Then she and Hongyu became the focus of the land vehicle, and were even photographed by someone with a bracelet.

"Sister, your snake is so beautiful and well-behaved. Can I touch it?" A little boy of six or seven years old tugged at Lin Manman's trouser leg and looked at Hong Yu with longing eyes as she looked around.

Lin Manman looked at the little boy at her feet and then at the old woman next to her who was smiling apologetically. She was obviously the little boy's grandmother.

"Of course! 500 Chinese Yuan for three minutes of free touching." Lin Manman grinned and swiftly took out her bracelet to retrieve the payment code and showed it to the little boy's grandmother.

The little boy's grandmother's smile froze, and she looked at him like a lunatic. "Where did this lunatic come from? Are you crazy for money? 500 for just three minutes of touching? Is your snake made of gold?"

"Hey, don't insult my snake. This is a mid-level silver-level spirit pet, a real battle pet. Other people's battle pets only cost 500 yuan, can you touch one?" Lin Manman, who became the center of attention, held up the rainbow jade and introduced it without blushing or beating her heart. Although it was just one day old, it was a mid-level silver-level battle pet. The spirit pet store starts at million yuan.

When people heard Lin Manman's words, there was a lot of discussion around.

"This year's middle school student awakening ceremony hasn't started yet, right? So this little girl awakened on her own?"

"Oh, that's incredible."

"Is that snake a battle pet? It seems that the little girl has awakened as a beastmaster, and even has her first spirit pet. Does she have a mine at home?"

"Who has a mine to make a public land vehicle?"

"Why don't you take the young lady to experience life?"

"It's so funny, a young lady is trying to experience life and cheating children out of their money?"

Amid the discussion, the little boy's grandmother dragged him back to his seat and turned away from her. It was time for Lin Manman to get off the bus, so she could only put away her bracelet with regret and get off the bus with Hongyu.

After getting off the car and turning a corner, she saw Fang Yaqi jumping and waving at her at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

Fang Yaqi is actually a very sweet-looking girl, with short hair that reaches her ears and is curled, which makes her look more playful and cute. Her personality is completely opposite to her appearance. She is not only impatient but also has a very hot temper, but she is straightforward and has no ulterior motives.

"Did you not get enough rest? You have dark circles under your eyes." Fang Yaqi asked with concern. Her dog-like eyes with droopy corners looked particularly innocent when she looked at people intently.

Lin Manman shrugged her shoulders. It’s not that she didn’t get enough rest, it’s that she didn’t get any rest at all.

"Ah!!!! Why is there a snake?" Lin Manman was wearing white clothes and had fair skin. When the rainbow jade was hanging around her neck, it was not very obvious from a distance.

At this moment, Lin Manman came closer and shrugged her shoulders again, bumping Hongyu. Hongyu subconsciously raised her head and looked over.

When Fang Yaqi saw a snake head raised towards her, she was so scared that she jumped back three steps on one leg, and her round little face turned ashen.

"Look at your lack of ambition. This is my pet Hongyu. It won't attack anyone without my order." Lin Manman looked at Fang Yaqi's cowardly look, and her nose almost turned up. She was no longer a snake-phobic person who needed to do a lot of mental preparation before signing a contract.

Fang Yaqi was stunned when she heard this, and it took her a long time to react. "You awakened to be a beastmaster? You contracted a spirit pet right after awakening?"

In order to avoid being blocked at the door and scolded, Lin Manman pulled Fang Yaqi inside and said, "Let's go in and eat and talk. I haven't eaten much since last night, and I'm starving."

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Manman gave Fang Yaqi a general account of herself and her family, but she did not specifically mention that she had awakened her talent.

"It's been a day of ups and downs. You might have been stimulated to wake up on your own. Now that you've prepared for the big test, what are your plans next?"

"Think of a way to make money. I remember your mother works in a pet shop. Are they hiring summer workers?" She couldn't count on the salary, but if she wanted to make money, she had to start with pets. Working part-time in a pet shop was obviously the most suitable job for pets.

"I haven't asked. I'll send a message to ask." Fang Yaqi said as she sent a message to her mother using her bracelet. She looked up at Lin Manman and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say what you want to say. This is not like you."

"Have you ever thought about participating in the Junior Professional Competition? I heard that the top five winners of this year's Junior Professional Competition will not only receive a prize of 2 million Chinese Yuan, but also a skill book." Fang Yaqi glanced at the newly born Hongyu, and she felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking. It seemed that it was a bit of a stretch for such a weak pet to compete with other professionals.

Lin Manman paused. There were too many things happening that day, which occupied all her thoughts. She really didn't think about this competition.
