City H, Fengye Beast Cultivation Center.
This was a small cultivation center of a few hundred square meters. The LED sign at the door had the words "Beast Training" on it, but most of the light bars had already been burned out. From a distance, it looked like the words 'Fengye Beast Cultivation Center' were written. It was because of this that the building, which was already in a deserted area, looked even worse.
On a fundamental level, the equipment at Fengye Beast Cultivation center could be considered complete. However, almost half of it was abandoned. Although the training equipment had been wiped clean, it was still very clean. However, it was too clean, which also proved that no one used these things.
Of course, the one in charge wouldn't use them himself, because these things would burn money once they were activated. The state of not being able to make ends meet made it impossible for him to even use his own equipment.
In other words, it was more like a pet storage than a training center. This was because no one would put their precious familiars in this center, which looked like it was close to closing down, for training.
Other than those who were too poor to feed themselves, they had no choice but to temporarily store their familiars and use some low-level food to tide over the situation.
"This amount of beast food is enough for a month." Zhang Xuan passed the low-level beast food to the young man, then continued, "However, I should optimize the food as soon as possible. It's not good for the growth of familiars to keep eating these."
Out of good intentions, he gave this order to the young man in front of him, who nodded with a bitter expression. After that, the latter took the bag of food and quickly walked out of the building.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. He understood this. If they accidentally let their companions see their familiars still eating low-level food, they would probably be laughed at.
He turned around and tidied up the rest of the food, then began to clean the familiars that he had left in the care of. He didn't expect to make any more money, so he tried to use the best cleaning liquid.
Two or three familiars didn't take much effort. An hour later, even though Zhang Xuan was used to such a situation, he still sighed when he saw the empty store.
"Let's get off work earlier today."
Zhang Xuan was a time traveler who had traveled from the Blue Planet to this place. He was currently a student at City H's top middle school.
This world was very different from the Blue Planet. In this place, one might not know addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but one had to understand the habits of familiars.
This was because this was a world of familiars, and familiars were the mainstream. Everyone would awaken their familiar space at the age of eighteen, becoming an apprentice beastmaster.
Under the guidance of beastmasters, this world had developed for over a thousand years, forming a brilliant beast civilization. At the same time, they developed various familiar-taming techniques.
However, due to the increasing number of beastmasters, all resources related to tamed beasts were in short supply. Ordinary people would have to pay a huge price to obtain relevant familiar resources, and this also included familiars themselves.
The growth of familiars was divided by their bloodline: normal, transcendent, legendary, epic, and mythical. The higher the bloodline, the higher the upper limit of growth.
Normal bloodlines had the largest base, and their price was relatively low. They were also the most common in this world.
The familiar of the customer just now was normal. But even so, he still couldn't afford its corresponding food. The cruelty of the situation was evident.
A familiar with a normal bloodline could only reach silver-tier, while a beastmaster could only rely on the strength of their familiar to obtain resources.
Once a tamed beast's level couldn't go up, the future of a beastmaster would be sealed. They belonged to the group of people who could only get a minimum wage.
As for powerful tamed beasts, such as those with legendary or epic bloodlines, once they reached adulthood, they could fly in the sky and burrow underground, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling at every turn, creating a huge commotion. Some of them could even affect the weather and the elements in the surrounding space to a certain extent.
Every single one of them was like an ancient desolate beast, causing one's heart to tremble with fear. Zhang Xuan had once been fortunate enough to witness a beastmaster causing a phenomenon in a city when he summoned his tamed beast.
After returning home, Zhang Xuan washed up and lay on the bed that was just big enough for him. He began to think about his future.
Since he was young, his parents had passed away, leaving him to face this cruel world alone. The cultivation center and this house were the only things his parents had left behind.
Three months ago, he had just turned eighteen years old and awakened the familiar space at the same time.
The familiar space was the foundation of a beastmaster. It could be used to nurture familiars, and if one was lucky, it could even activate the potential of the familiar, increasing the speed of the familiar's cultivation. At the same time, it was also a space for the familiar to live in.
By using the familiar space, a beastmaster could communicate with their tamed beasts.
The space was divided into three categories: ordinary, elemental, and special. Ordinary spaces had no additional functions other than the basic ones. On the other hand, the elemental and special types were different. Familiars could use the elemental power in the space to cultivate more efficiently.
At the moment of awakening, the path of geniuses and mediocrity was already set.
What Zhang Xuan had awakened was the most ordinary familiar space. Moreover, he had not contracted a familiar, because he was really short of money.
The price of a normal familiar could easily go up to 10,000 yuan, and those of slightly better quality could even go up to a few tens of thousands. As for those with a higher bloodline, they would cost at least a few hundred thousand each.
Ordinary families could not afford such expenses at all. However, if he wanted to live like a human in this world, there was no other way than to improve the bloodline level of his initial familiar. Otherwise, with an ordinary space and normal bloodline, his life would be completely ruined.
After all, he had just awakened his familiar space, and there was only one contract slot. Once he signed a contract with a normal bloodline, the time it would take for him to advance to a level-two beastmaster would be greatly extended.
It was possible that the people at the same time had already controlled three or four familiars, while he could only move bricks at the bottom. And this gap would not be closed by hard work, but would only grow further and further.
For example, it was not easy for him to level up, but the money he had gathered was only enough to buy a normal familiar.
It was an endless loop, forever moving bricks at the bottom. This was why Zhang Xuan was thinking about pawning the cultivation center that his family left behind. He would get a loan and contract a transcendent familiar!
This was because only transcendent familiars had the potential to evolve their bloodlines. Even if there was only a one-in-a-billion chance, there was still some hope.
After making his decision, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and entered meditation.
In his familiar space, there was an ancient and simple bronze door, exuding an ancient and boundless aura.
