Unscientific Beast Taming Chapter 108 - The Job Examination Begins

Chapter 108: The Job Examination Begins

Union calendar, January 1, 178, 7 a.m.

In Dong Huang, Ancient Capital City’s examination venue of the Lotus Lake Arena, the door was finally opened. The candidates rushed in noisily.

The scene was bustling with activity. Most of the people present were young, and there were also some middle-aged men who came to give it a try for their academic degrees and dreams.

“Ah…” At that moment, the buzz cut cousin looked at s.h.i.+ Yu who had left and felt an itch in his heart.

It was such a f.u.c.king pity.

They were not in the same examination venue as s.h.i.+ Yu. They might not be able to see the scene of s.h.i.+ Yu’s green worm showing off and shocking the examiners.

He kept feeling that he had lost 100 million yuan.

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Yu looked at the venue displayed on the admission ticket and walked along with the crowd and signs.

“This feeling is really similar to the college entrance examination…”

“Unfortunately, apart from the written test, we came prepared this time!”

s.h.i.+ Yu chuckled.

Lotus Lake Arena, exam venue No. 10.

Soon, s.h.i.+ Yu arrived.

To be honest, he felt that something was wrong, because it wasn’t Arena 11. This was a little interesting. The lucky number was gone just like that?

…

The basic test was tested together at many examination venues. Only in this way could the candidates guarantee that they would finish the test in the shortest time possible.

In the morning, there was the field basic test, and in the afternoon, there was the indoor written test. The a.s.sessment efficiency was very high.

In a short day, he could complete two a.s.sessments. Moreover, the contents of the written test were all judged by the machine, and the results could be announced the next day.

On the day the results were announced, the candidate rested for a day. Then, it was the third a.s.sessment!

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Yu and the other 79 candidates were standing around the No. 10 examination venue, surrounding the blockade of a huge testing table.

This detector wasn’t built directly here, but it was transported here. It was very similar to a boxing ring, but it was bigger. It was less than a meter tall, but it was ten meters in length and width. It was an energy detector, and its precision was very high.

Standing on it, one could not only detect the pet’s energy data, but also the pet’s race, height, weight, physical development, and age.

At the moment, three tables were placed inside the blockade facing the testing table. Behind the table, two men and one woman were controlling the computer alone. The two of them were reading the information with calm expressions.

“Yet another vocation a.s.sessment.” The female examiner looked up at the candidates who had almost arrived outside the blockade and sighed.

Every year, there were people who were happy and people who were sad. I wonder if people will take things too hard this year…

“I’m a little curious about the quality of the candidates this year.”

“Needless to say, it will definitely get better each year.”

The other two male examiners chuckled.

They were all professional Beast Tamers of the Beast Tamer a.s.sociation in Ancient Capital. Every year, the basic-level examiners were randomly transferred from professional Beast Tamers.

Although it was only a few days, the treatment was very good.

At this moment, seeing that it was about time, the middle-aged female examiner in a professional black skirt stood up and opened the blockade, saying, “Alright, quieten down.”

She looked at everyone with a dignified gaze.

“I’m the main examiner for your basic test, Zhuang Ping. Next, I’ll be in charge of your basic test. This test is very simple. When you hear your name later, you just have to go to the testing table and summon your own pet.”

“There’s no ranking for this basic test. You’ll pa.s.s if you cross the line. But the pets you summon might affect the questions of your wilderness a.s.sessment according to their race and attributes. So, if you have many pets, think about which one you should summon first.”

“The third a.s.sessment is the Wilderness Trial. I believe you have already understood it. At that time, you will be thrown into a wilderness area. Then, you will be asked to survive there for a period of time. During the survival period, I will arrange some a.s.sessment missions for each of you, either to hunt a certain ferocious beast or to take some resources.”

“The mission arranged will, to a certain extent, counter the pets you send for testing next. Do you understand?”

The 80 prospective Beast Tamers below the stage listened quietly and nodded in unison.

He understood.

For example, if he sent a fire-element Moon Flame Beast to partic.i.p.ate in the basic test now, in the third stage, the mission would let the candidate deal with water-elemental ferocious beasts and adopt water-elemental resources.

He was always making things difficult for others.

Although it was difficult, the Beast Tamer a.s.sociation didn’t hide this rule. They directly reminded the candidate on the surface.

Most candidates had contracted two pets. If both pets reached the transcendent level, in a sense, this also gave the candidates the right to choose the mission type in the third a.s.sessment.

The candidates could completely use this rule to make their third a.s.sessment easier.

After all, they could counter one pet, but could they restrain both?

Of course, for candidates who contracted one pet or only had one pet that had reached the transcendent level, the rules were not very friendly…

…

“Time’s up. Then, we’ll start the basic test. The candidate whose name is mentioned, do as I said before. Move faster.”

As soon as the examiner Zhuang Ping finished speaking, a male examiner holding a register cleared his throat and called out by name, “Examination number 1439, He Yu.”

The first candidate whose name was read was a girl in a ponytail who wasn’t even 20 years old. When she heard her name, her heart skipped a beat. She raised her hand nervously and shouted, “I’m here!”

“Go up and test.” Zhuang Ping also held a register and nodded.

She looked at the information in her hand. On it was recorded the photo, name, age, gender, and ident.i.ty of this girl named He Yu…

Under the full attention of the audience, the first candidate, He Yu, jogged up to the testing table. The moment she stepped on the testing table, the gla.s.s-like venue immediately lit up, scaring the little girl.

But soon, she stabilized her emotions and carefully looked at the examiner.

“You can directly summon your pet after going up,” Zhuang Ping said.

“Alright.” The girl nodded and took a deep breath. In the next second, not far in front of her, a huge gray array that was flickering with countless light spots like a star map appeared in mid-air.

Right on the heels of that, a water-like ripple appeared on the surface of the formation. A cute little creature in a standing posture, light blue body, clear blue eyes, purple eyes, and appearance similar to a flying Momonga floated out of the summoning array!

< Name > Super Flying Mouse

[Attributes]: Spirit

[Race Level]: High Transcendent

[Race Skill]: Psychic Wave, Clone, Barrier

It was a relatively rare spiritual pet!

As everyone looked at the super flying rat, the next moment, the monitoring station’s automatic voice broadcasted the test situation.

“Race name, super flying rat.”

“Race level, high-level transcendent level.”

“Level of growth, transcendent level.”

“Energy value, 599 points.”

After the voice broadcast was completed, the girl, He Yu, blushed and clenched her fist excitedly. Good, not bad!

Below, a small number of people had blank expressions. Most of them nodded secretly. Obviously, not everyone knew what this value represented.

At this moment, the examiner in front of the computer also received other more detailed data of the super flying rat. Then, he seriously uploaded it. The examiner who called out its name began to record the paper information.

As for the examiner, Zhuang Ping, she added,

“Energy value represents the amount of energy in the pet’s body. The energy in the body of a pet in the Awakening Stage is basically within 100 points. As for the transcendent level standard this time, it’s 500 points. This value largely determines whether the pet can use high-level skills and whether it can use skills multiple times. You can use it as a reference to determine the strength of your pet.”

After the pet’s growth level reached the transcendent level, it did not undergo the many awakening transformations like during the Awakening Stage. Its strength would not undergo a qualitative change at a certain point. Instead, it had to slowly acc.u.mulate.

This was because pets of this level had already pa.s.sed the stage of rapid growth. Their racial skills had basically been awakened.

Next, there was only this big level in the entire transcendent level. There was no small level division.

As for the next growth and transformation of the pet, that would have to wait until the commander level.

At this time, the pet’s strength would undergo a relatively large qualitative change. The pet could even release energy, solidify, and condense energy crystals themselves!!

In the wild, some commander rank creatures relied on this method to nurture their clansmen. The difference in strength between a group with a commander rank creature and a group without a commander rank creature was very obvious!

…

“Examination number 1440, Jin Fei.”

…

“Race name, Shadow Leopard.”

“Race level, high-level transcendent.”

“Level of growth, transcendent level.”

“Energy value, 761 points.”

…

“Examination number 1441, Ji Yuan.”

…

“Race name, Wind Gathering Vine.”

“Race level, medium transcendent.”

“Level of growth, transcendent level.”

“Energy value, 524 points.”

…

Then, candidates were called names one after another and went on stage to test.

However, the testing segment was basically very ordinary. There were no explosive points.

Until…

“Examination number 1461, Bear Star.”

“Race name, Thunder Lion.”

“Race level, low cla.s.s commander.”

“Level of growth, transcendent level.”

“Energy value, 1214 points.”

At this moment, the calm atmosphere of the basic testing segment was directly broken.

“Holy s.h.i.+t, it went over 1,000???”

“F*ck, it’s twice as much as my Earth Crystal b.u.t.terfly…”

“It’s ridiculous. The commander races are awesome…”

Everyone looked at the young man on the testing table and the golden lightning lion beside him, and they were all shocked.

Low cla.s.s commander species, Thunder Lion!

This energy value almost completely destroyed the pets of the previous examinees!

“Roar…” On the examination table, the Thunder Lion growled and enjoyed the feeling of being watched with the Beast Tamer.

The Beast Tamer named Xiong Xing had a calm expression but was abnormally satisfied in his heart.

He, the center of attention!

“Not bad.” The three examiners nodded silently in the face of the first candidate who broke through a thousand, but they didn’t say much.

At the transcendent level, the battle power of the pet was actually the pet’s race, skills, and self-training situation.

Through daily training, pets could slowly increase their upper limit of energy and increase their skill proficiency. In battle, this was the compet.i.tion.

Among them, high-level pets definitely had natural advantages. Their upper limit of physical fitness was naturally higher than low-level pets. This couldn’t be helped.

It was normal for pets with high races to have high energy levels.

But this didn’t mean anything.

As long as the energy difference between extraordinary creatures wasn’t too great, this difference could be made up for.

If the skill proficiency of high-level pets was not high, they could not actually use their energy advantage.

On the contrary, if a low-level pet trained one skill and combination skill to a very proficient level and could instantly explode with all its energy, it wouldn’t be much weaker.

Although the pet’s energy level reflected the pet’s strength to a certain extent, the key was still the performance of the skill that specificized energy.

These three examiners were all high-level Beast Tamers, so they naturally wouldn’t be as shocked as the candidates.

What a joke. They were just a group of trainee vocation candidates. Even if they didn’t need to test their pets, it was within their judgment. This was experience!

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Yu watched silently among the candidates.

It seemed like it was going to be his turn soon?

He wondered how much Eleven’s specific energy level could reach…

Although its race wasn’t high, none of the candidates who had summoned middle-level Transcendent pets had an energy value above 700, Eleven was clearly not ordinary…

Not only had the evolution holy spring improved his physical fitness once, but the feedback brought by the hardening of the transcendent-level racial skill and the feedback brought by a bunch of external racial skills could increase the upper limit of his energy…

He was very curious.

“Examination number 1464, s.h.i.+ Yu.”

As s.h.i.+ Yu thought about it, it was indeed his turn.

At this moment, the first candidate to break through a thousand had just appeared. The surrounding candidates were still in a state of agitation.

It felt insipid, as if all the limelight had been suppressed.

F*ck, he had contracted a commander species creature at this stage. He was rich and willful.

Next, s.h.i.+ Yu went on stage.

The male candidate was still alright. He only took a silent look at s.h.i.+ Yu and lost interest.

s.h.i.+ Yu, who was wearing an Iron-eating Beast short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt, was too ordinary. It was obvious that he wasn’t very impressive.

“The pet’s an Iron-eating beast, right?”

Otherwise, which normal boy would wear an Iron-eating Beast short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt!

At this moment, the female candidates were evaluating s.h.i.+ Yu’s looks in their hearts.

“There’s finally a more handsome candidate.”

Just like that, s.h.i.+ Yu boarded the testing table under the gazes of the candidates and three examiners around venue 10.

“Summon your pet,” the examiner Zhuang Ping said.

On the examination table, s.h.i.+ Yu nodded. In the end, he decided to summon Eleven.

The transcendent-level worm was too ridiculous. It was better not to agitate everyone. Low profile, low profile.

“Eleven.”

s.h.i.+ Yu communicated with Eleven, who had been waiting for a long time in the Beast Taming s.p.a.ce.

In the next moment, a gray summoning array appeared on the ground in front of him.

Under the lingering light, Eleven, who was more than a meter tall, appeared in the arena.

The one-meter-tall Little Iron Eating Beast clearly hadn’t reached adulthood yet. Its gaze was firm as it stood on the field with its fat stall. Its soft black and white hair fluttered with the breeze. From the bottom angle, it was very perfect.

“It’s indeed an Iron-eating Beast…”

However, although it was perfect, the race of the iron-eating beasts completely hit the predictions of the other candidates.

The hint of s.h.i.+ Yu’s clothes was too obvious!

Next, the middle-level iron-eating beasts wouldn’t have much energy even if they reached the transcendent level.

About 550?

The candidates made their judgment.

Forget about candidates, even the three examiners, out of boredom, also estimated after taking a glance.

At this moment.

The monitoring station automatically broadcasted Eleven’s energy situation…

“Race name, Iron-eating Beast.”

“Race level, medium transcendent.”

“Level of growth, transcendent level.”

“Energy value, 3186 points.”

Energy Points, 3186 points!!

At this moment, the entire place suddenly fell silent.

Everyone’s pupils dilated slightly. Of the two male examiners in charge of recording, one’s hand was still on the keyboard, while the other’s pen stabbed heavily on the paper with rich expressions.

It looked like love.

…

There were only gasps around.

3186??

Was he sure it wasn’t 586? Not 1186? Instead, 3186?!

This number was a little ridiculous!

For a moment, everyone present couldn’t think straight.

The sound of the detection counter echoed in everyone’s ears, and their mouths were slightly open.

How was that possible!

What went wrong!

One had to know that the energy value of a pet that was commander level just now was only 1214!

How could a middle-level Iron-eating Beast have this number?

At this moment, the three examiners were even more shocked than the candidates.

This was because they knew that normally speaking, the upper limit of the energy level of a transcendent commander race was only 3,000 points…

The value of this iron-eating beast was completely not something a creature of a medium-level transcendent race should have!

On the contrary, even if it was a young monarch species, after breaking through to the transcendent level, it had to go through a certain amount of training to reach it!

In short, how was this value possible—this was too unscientific!

The two male examiners paused for a second.

The examiner, Zhuang Ping, looked at the calm s.h.i.+ Yu and the Little Iron Eating Beast on the testing table in disbelief.

They… weren’t surprised at all??

Could it be that he had already expected this value?

The main examiner was silent, unable to understand.

“Age, not even two years old?”

At the same time, a male examiner was flabbergasted as he looked at the other detailed data on the iron-eating beast on the computer. He was shocked again.

F*ck, did it have to be so ridiculous? Even if it had started raining in the womb, it couldn’t be that fast, right? Moreover, it was an Iron-eating Beast famous for its laziness!

At this moment, after the sudden silence in venue 10, there was no sign of recovery.

Around the testing table, regardless of whether they had tested it or not, all of them widened their eyes.

Especially that Beast Tamer of the Thunder Lion, he was a little dizzy and felt a little stunned.

With this comparison, why did it feel that the Thunder Lion was weak?

Was this really an Iron-eating Beast? And not a young monarch wearing an Iron-eating Beast coat?

“Is it done?”

On the testing stage, s.h.i.+ Yu asked.

Eleven was indeed still fierce…

“It… It’s done.” Below, the main examiner, Zhuang Ping, took a deep breath and tried to memorize s.h.i.+ Yu’s appearance.

At the same time, she judged in her heart that after s.h.i.+ Yu’s basic test information was transmitted, he would probably receive a lot of attention.

This was also the goal of the first test. It was to allow the Beast Tamer a.s.sociation to pay attention to candidates with potential in advance!

At this moment, she didn’t think that the machine was broken or that s.h.i.+ Yu and the others had cheated, because it was absolutely impossible for there to be a problem with this machine. Even if the pet used enhancement skills, even if the pet used shrinking skills, even if the pet’s condition was poor, this machine could perfectly detect the real situation of the pet.

This was specially made for the vocation a.s.sessment and had been modified by countless Mechanics… Therefore, this value was probably real.

Moreover, judging from the calm looks of s.h.i.+ Yu and his pet, it could be seen that this value was probably the true energy value of this Iron-eating Beast!

This was clearly an Iron-eating Beast with a mid-level transcendent race, but it was comparable to a monarch-level pet cub!!

Ridiculous!!!

If it wasn’t a racial mutation, then this Beast Tamer named s.h.i.+ Yu would definitely have invested an astronomical amount of resources into this Iron-eating Beast to strengthen its potential!!

This was the only possibility.

Although that was the case, the three high-level Beast Tamer examiners still couldn’t calm down for a long time. They weren’t as calm and collected as before at all, because this had indeed broken their understanding.

Even Lin Hongnian, a master-level Beast Tamer who specialized in Iron-eating Beasts, had always felt that s.h.i.+ Yu’s Little Iron-eating Beast was ridiculous… Let alone these guys. Even after his Iron-eating Beast had evolved, he still felt that it was lacking compared to Eleven…

“Come back, Eleven.” At the moment, s.h.i.+ Yu roughly understood Eleven’s energy situation.

It was lower than he had imagined.

But it was alright.

After all, its true strength was the skills with high proficiency.

In terms of battle power, the other pets might not necessarily perform better than Eleven.

“Wuu!”

Eleven nodded and returned to the Beast Taming s.p.a.ce. At the same time, s.h.i.+ Yu walked down.

As expected, after testing Eleven’s energy level, s.h.i.+ Yu began to be curious about Buggy again…

After returning to the research inst.i.tute, he would ask if there were such machines in Ancient Capital University. He felt that there should be!

“This is your information card. Please go to the designated location in the afternoon to do the written test. Your a.s.sessment information should also be refreshed after the a.s.sessment official website.”

After s.h.i.+ Yu came down, the male examiner in charge of recording the data gave him the subsequent a.s.sessment information card. At the same time, he raised his head curiously and sized up s.h.i.+ Yu.

Icefield City, Ping Cheng? This was the birth point of s.h.i.+ Yu according to the information. It was a little familiar, as there were indeed iron-eating beasts there…

In short, he had to pay attention to this monster candidate in the future.

“Thank you.” s.h.i.+ Yu took the a.s.sessment information card. After taking a look, he put it in his pocket and walked out of the blockade.

The moment he returned to the a.s.sessment crowd, the dozens of candidates around him immediately became noisy!

“Holy s.h.i.+t, brother, what’s wrong with your Iron-eating Beast!!”

“3186, it’s fake, right?”

“Brother, can I get your contact information?”

“Can I touch your Iron-eating Beast?”

Even the candidate who had led the Thunder Lion race earlier didn’t receive such treatment from s.h.i.+ Yu. s.h.i.+ Yu’s scalp immediately turned numb. Then, he looked at the red-faced bespectacled woman who wanted to touch the iron-eating beast. His vigilance was raised to the limit.

This person didn’t have any replication talent, did she? He couldn’t let her touch him!

“Silence!!!”

At this moment, the chief examiner, Zhuang Ping, had a dark expression on her face. “Noise is prohibited here. Violating the rules will be seen as giving up the a.s.sessment. All communication is to stop now. The a.s.sessment will continue.”

The candidates smiled in embarra.s.sment after the organizer spoke. Then, the next candidate went on stage to take the test.

In fact, he could leave directly after the test.

However, most of the people still stayed behind to see how the others’ test results were out of curiosity.

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Yu sensed everyone’s gaze on him and fell silent. Although he also wanted to continue looking… he felt that it wasn’t suitable to stay here for long.

Why not retreat first?

…

s.h.i.+ Yu withdrew and left without anyone knowing.

Not long after he left, two short-haired youths rushed to the venue of the tenth exam.

They raised their heads and searched for something in the crowd, but they didn’t find anything.

The buzz cut cousin poked a candidate casually.

The candidate turned around in confusion.

The buzz cut cousin whispered, “Brother, did an extraordinary-level Green Silkworm appear here previously?”

“Are you surprised? Are you surprised?!” the straight hair cousin whispered.

The candidate was stunned. d.a.m.n it, idiots, where did these two idiots come from?

“Are you crazy? Your Green Silkworm can reach the transcendent level?”

He turned around in bad luck. He hadn’t finished the test yet, so he didn’t have time to deal with idiots.

“Why are you cursing?” The straight hair cousin was immediately displeased when he heard that.

He had been beaten by a worm, so why couldn’t the Green Silkworm be at the transcendent level?

Not only could it be transcendent, it could also be very strong. Its energy level had to be at least 666, it couldn’t be any lower.

At this moment, they were confused. The cousins looked at each other and felt that it was a little strange. It was strange. s.h.i.+ Yu should be at this venue.

It was fine if they didn’t find s.h.i.+ Yu, but why didn’t the surrounding candidates hear of him?

The smart cousin asked another person.

This time, they chose a girl who looked easy to talk to. The buzz cut cousin said, “Beauty, did you have a candidate named s.h.i.+ Yu here previously?”

The girl turned around and was slightly stunned. “You’re talking about that Iron-eating Beast…”

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s that Beast Tamer wearing the Iron-eating Beast’s short sleeve!” The cousins said excitedly. They had asked the right person.

“Is he done testing?”

The girl looked around and said, “The test is over. Do you know him?”

“Sort of…”

“Then do you have the contact information of that handsome guy?? He left too quickly…”

“So powerful. How did he nurture that Iron-eating Beast that can only be worth more than 3,000…” The candidate could not forget.

Eh?

The short-hair brother was stunned. What the h.e.l.l? What Iron-eating Beast with more than 3,000 energy points?

“What are you talking about?” they asked.

“Don’t you guys know that s.h.i.+ Yu? I’m talking about his Iron-eating Beast.”

The cousins’ hearts skipped a beat. They kept feeling that something was wrong.

“Isn’t the pet he’s training a Green Silkworm? transcendent-level, Green Silkworm, didn’t you see it?”

The female candidate: “???”

“An Iron-eating Beast with 3,000 energy points, but where did the Green Silkworm come from!” She rolled her eyes at the two of them and said, “Do the two of you have his contact information?”

Ding Yao and Zhao Rui smiled awkwardly and retreated. d.a.m.n, something seemed wrong.

Where was their huge transcendent-level green worm?!!!

Didn’t they say that the Green Silkworm shocked everyone!

However, what the f*ck was with an Iron-eating Beast with more than 3,000 energy points? The two of them had blank expressions.

…

At noon.

After leaving the lotus lake examination venue, s.h.i.+ Yu found a random place to make do with a bowl of beef ramen.

The basic test had just ended, and no one came to disturb him.

However, for example, Senior Lu, Senior Beast Ear, Senior Panda, Hall Master Lin Hongnian, and the archeological seven elites had sent him a message yesterday to wish him success.

Fortunately, it wasn’t completely orphan treatment…

“Wu—” After eating and drinking his fill, s.h.i.+ Yu fell into deep thought about life.

The written test, the written test, it was finally coming!

s.h.i.+ Yu became slightly nervous.

“Why don’t… I take a look at a few more questions?” In the small room, the air conditioner was blowing. s.h.i.+ Yu felt that it was quite comfortable. He felt that it didn’t matter even if he waited here until the afternoon… He took out “Five Year Examination Mock Questions” and casually looked at a question.

[The Greenback Eagle has an extremely fast flying speed, and it has pretty good performance in battle and reconnaissance. How fast can a Greenback Eagle, which has grown to the transcendent level and has mastered a proficient level Wind Wing skill, reach?]

“…Simple, I know this question, choose C.”

?
