Chapter 10: Underground Research Institute

“Song Tiantian, it’s okay. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that the Snowland Lion cares about me so much. The Snowland Lion is truly a very, very strong pet. I am really grateful to you. If you hadn't saved the Snowland Lion back then, I wouldn't have been able to form a contract with it.

It is truly wonderful; it gave half of its own power to me. It has fallen into a deep sleep now, but I will definitely not let it down.”

At this moment, Jiang Su felt as if he had undergone a complete metamorphosis.

His entire aura changed in an instant, becoming full of vitality. If the previous Jiang Su did not know where his future lay, the current Jiang Su already possessed his own conviction.

He wanted to go to the battlefield.

Perhaps ordinary people did not know how terrifying the ferocious beasts were, as the authorities had blocked this news.

But not all ferocious beasts were gentle.

Just as humans have good and bad, beasts are the same.

In reality, the current situation was already very grim. The spatial rifts were constantly expanding, and more and more ferocious beasts were emerging from within. One day, the spatial rifts would turn into spatial abysses, and at that time, an endless number of ferocious beasts would pour out.

This one hundred million was very much worth it; he now possessed the power to protect himself, as well as the power to protect his family.

“How long will the Snowland Lion sleep for? I’ve never contracted one before, so I don't know how it works,” Song Tiantian asked curiously.

“I feel like it might sleep for about ten days. I plan to buy more energy stones to put in; that might help it wake up sooner.”

“That long! Then you need to prepare a lot of meat. It likes eating semi-raw meat, so it can eat its fill as soon as it wakes up.”

“Don't worry, I definitely will.”

Jiang Su originally wanted to say he would help Song Tiantian buy a pet, but all his money was spent, and he would still need to borrow money from his parents.

He planned to wait until he earned enough money later to help Song Tiantian contract a pet.

“Jiang Su, you're awake!”

Bai Jing ran up to Jiang Su and Song Tiantian holding a tablet.

Looking at the bloodshot eyes of Bai Jing, Song Tiantian felt a sense of admiration; this woman truly loved her work.

“Sister Jing, you are too amazing! You actually managed to get up to work overtime in the middle of the night!”

Song Tiantian’s admiration came from the bottom of her heart.

“None of us slept tonight; we were all working overtime with Dr. Bai. Dr. Bai said Jiang Su had woken up, so he specifically asked me to come find him. Dr. Bai has already reported Jiang Su's information. Tomorrow morning, people from the Capital will come to pick Jiang Su up for a month of training in the Capital.

As for the remaining payment for the Snowland Lion, Dr. Bai has waived it for Jiang Su, but Jiang Su needs to sign a contract to serve the Qingshan Pet Center for three years.”

Song Tiantian leaned in to take a look at the contract; the terms were not strict.

Jiang Su did not hesitate. After glancing at the contract, he signed it without a second thought.

“I have always remembered Dr. Bai's help, and I also want to repay him.”

Jiang Su also had other calculations in his heart. The Jiang family only had money; they held no status in the Beast Taming World. Dr. Bai was a leading figure; if one didn't take a side, they would be a reed in the wind, stepped on by anyone.

Moreover, it was only for three years. In three years, he could earn ninety million.

However, time was a bit tight. He had to go home to see his parents first, so after signing, he did not linger and left immediately.

Song Tiantian could only return to her dormitory to shower and sleep for a bit, as there were still three hours before her shift started.

The people from the Capital arrived at twelve noon. It was evident that the authorities placed great importance on Jiang Su.

The people from the Capital even brought out a crystal glass sphere to test Jiang Su. When they discovered that Jiang Su's pet space actually spanned a hundred square meters, they were filled with amazement.

“Dr. Bai, you are truly incredible. To have discovered such a genius in less than three months since coming to Qingshan.”

Dr. Bai was very cold and aloof. He did not speak, nor did he even look at the other person; his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Su.

“Come back safe!”

Dr. Bai instructed Jiang Su.

“Don't worry, Dr. Bai! I will definitely return.”

Jiang Su boarded the plane.

The Pet Center was much larger than Song Tiantian had imagined. That massive runway was the takeoff field for the planes.

A private plane belonging to Dr. Bai was parked inside.

With such a large area sitting empty like this, it would be great to use it as a track for running and exercising.

As Song Tiantian watched the plane fly into the sky, she realized that no one was there to help her with her studies anymore.

Although Bai Jing was a good person, she had stayed up all night, and with work being so busy, it would be annoying to keep asking her all sorts of questions.

Most importantly, there would be no one to slack off and chat with her in the future.

Just as Song Tiating was planning to continue looking through materials today, Dr. Bai said to her, “You, come here.”

Song Tiantian followed obediently. Only then did she realize that this Pet Center actually had three underground levels, and the real secrets were kept below.

Furthermore, many ferocious beasts were imprisoned here.

The ferocious beasts here all had bloodshot eyes, having entered a berserk state. They emitted an aura of violence; merely making eye contact with them made one's heart tremble.

【Kill, kill, kill!】

【Lowly humans all deserve to die!】

【Ga ga ga, kill this group of people, kill them all!】

Their inner voices were filled with various kinds of killing intent.

Moreover, many of them had low spiritual intelligence and no wisdom, so they could not hear the inner voices.

“These are all ferocious beasts that Dr. Bai had people capture from the secret realms outside the city. Those that could be contracted have basically been contracted; the remaining ones are extremely fierce beasts that cannot be contracted. Do not be afraid, these beasts cannot harm you,” Bai Jing explained to Song Tiating.

In truth, Bai Jing felt a bit uneasy. Not just anyone could enter the underground research lab.

She had been by Dr. Bai's side for many years before she was allowed to enter here.

But Song Tiantian had only been here for a few days!

Today was only her second day of work, yet Dr. Bai had already authorized her work card for access.

She knew her jealousy was wrong, but she could not suppress the discomfort in her heart.

However, once those ferocious beasts let out their furious roars, she still spoke up to soothe Song Tiantian.

She just didn't tell Song Tiantian that some ferocious beasts here were experts at playing the victim; many newcomers had been deceived before.

She felt she had done her utmost; after all, she had told Song Tiating that the remaining beasts here were nothing good.

If Song Tiating still wanted to prove herself—like on her first day of interviewing—and tried to "reform" a ferocious beast, it would be completely impossible. If she went looking for death, she couldn't blame Bai Jing.

That specific pet had been delivered and raised by Dr. Bai himself; no matter how fierce it was, it was different from the beasts here.

“Thank you, Sister Jing!”

At this moment, Song Tiantian finally understood where those videos of pet abuse on the internet came from.

It seemed that Dr. Bai's management of his subordinates wasn't actually that strict.
