Beast Taming Patrol

"Meow!" (Then let me teach you how to use the training room!)

Qiuqiu could finally come out, and it was especially happy. It cuddled up to Ghost and then started to explain how to use the smart training room.

Soon, the snow field covered by Frost Snow switched to a dim earth and sky, and then it switched back to the snow field again. The two pet beasts muttered quietly to each other while tirelessly trying to switch environments.

Standing in the corner of the training room, Lin Su watched the two little ones try various things with a smile in his eyes, and he couldn't help but pinch his chin.

Speaking of which... should he consider moving out of the dormitory?

Because of an emergency yesterday, Sister Nan used her all-access keycard to enter his dorm room. Although the card requires advance application every time it is used, special situations can arise.

This time it was Sister Nan, and he could accept that, but if next time someone unfamiliar entered his room, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

Although there weren't too many things worthy of attention in his room, there were still some.

The energy fluid that hadn't been used up yet, a set of custom equipment he used to prepare energy fluid on Blue Star, and some items from the Shenwu World that Ghost occasionally brought over—all of these, in the eyes of the interested, posed the risk of exposing him.

If he bought a house nearby, similar situations would cease to occur.

After the calamity, the human population had decreased significantly. Combined with the strong purchasing power of Alliance currency, buying a house near Mountain City University could be done with just a few hundred thousand Alliance bucks. For Lin Su, who received sponsorship from a certain wealthy Miss Gu, this problem wasn't too big.

Of course, Lin Su also had another reason for wanting to move—an intelligent training room.

Although he had been promoted from assistant researcher to official researcher, the smart training room Qiuqiu used was still the previous one.

This device belonged to the institute's public resources. Although no one said anything about Qiuqiu's usual usage, it was still not very appropriate. Now, with the addition of Ghost, having two pet beasts taking turns for training was more likely to attract idle talk and discontent.

Moreover, this training room was intended for training skills of Juvenile and Elite rank pet beasts. There was no problem for Ghost to use it, but Qiuqiu's strength was among the top in the Elite rank, and the training room was already struggling to cope.

Having a better training room would naturally be good.

For just fifty thousand contribution points, he could build a smart training room in his home that was capable of accommodating the training of two pet beasts together, more complete functions, better protective measures, and able to withstand training intensity of the Commander rank. For Lin Su now, such an expense was not unbearable.

Of course.

All these things would have to wait until after the Guardian Beast Co-operation training camp before he could consider them.

"Ding ding ding!"

The alert from the communicator suddenly rang, interrupting Lin Su's thoughts.

Checking the time, it seemed the results from the university entrance examination should have arrived.

He opened the communicator, and as expected, there were two new emails in the inbox.

The first email contained the results of the entrance examination.

For the two hundred points theoretical assessment, scholar Su Qing easily scored full marks, and for the practical assessment, which was worth a total of eight hundred points, Lin Su also got full marks for being the undisputed first place.

First place overall, as expected.

Lin Su felt completely unfazed.

Beyond the results, the email also contained two attachments: one was an electronic certificate needed for enrollment, and the other was the ranking table for the entrance examination scores.

As faces like Zhang Xiaoyu, Ji Yun, Zhao Tianchen, and Zhong Hao flashed through his mind, Lin Su became curious and started to read the ranking table.

Ranked right below him was Zhang Xiaoyu, who came second in the practical assessment.

His theoretical assessment score was a whopping 198 points. Unexpectedly, the shy-looking boy was also a scholar.

Below Zhang Xiaoyu was Zhao Tianchen.

Although Zhao Tianchen ranked fourth in the practical assessment, his theoretical score was also over 190. In contrast, Ji Yun, who placed third in the practical assessment, had only scored 176 in theory, landing her in fifth place.

There were actually people whose theoretical scores held back their practical scores.

But thinking of the clever tactic Ji Yun used by having her Wind Thunder Eagle help in the exam, Lin Su instantly felt this result made sense.

Besides, Zhong Hao, who was eighth in practical assessment, was surprisingly seventh in overall ranking.

Zhong Hao's theoretical score reached 197 points. Seeing his somewhat goofy Molten Giant Bear, Lin Su had thought Zhong Hao's theoretical scores wouldn't be high.

Indeed, one should not judge a person by their beast.

Apart from these individuals, most names on the ranking table were unfamiliar to Lin Su, so he paid them no further attention.

He then opened the second email somewhat nervously.

This must be the military training notification that Sister Nan mentioned, right?

[Guardian Beast Co-operation Preliminary Camp Invitation]

[First of all, congratulations Lin Su for passing the Mountain City University entrance assessment, and as a student of the Alliance's public Beast Tamer University, you have become eligible to participate in the Guardian Beast Co-operation preliminary camp.]

[You must have already gained a preliminary understanding of Guardian Beast Co-operation in high school, but to truly master it, the camp is an essential path. Without passing the trial of the preliminary camp, it is impossible to engage in Guardian Beast Co-operation for the rest of your life.]

[No doubt, at this moment, your heart is filled with longing for Guardian Beast Co-operation.]

[However, we must regretfully remind you that the preliminary camp is not a playground. Once inside, you will face real enemies and the threat of death, and each year the mortality rate of the preliminary camp exceeds 5%.]

[Therefore, you have 48 hours to consider whether you wish to participate. If you choose not to take part, please do not reply to this email, and we will assume you forfeit the opportunity.]

[If you are aware of the potential risks and still wish to participate in the preliminary camp, please reply "Yes" within 48 hours.]

[Thank you for reading.]

[Yan Huang Alliance Military Management Department]

5% mortality rate?

Lin Su frowned.

Just by the brutal mortality rate, he sensed an aura of solemnity and severity.

It seemed he had underestimated the difficulty of the preliminary camp.

But...

Give up?

There was no way he would give up.

With that thought, Lin Su opened the reply window, and without hesitation, he typed and sent.

[Yes]
