This was a large farming company, so monsters needed to be delivered almost every day on the farm.

“Delivery is very simple. Don’t be afraid. Be brave. The monsters are physically stronger, but sometimes they have yet to react and they deliver their young.” Wang Qilin squatted beside him, comforting Bai Ye.

He also gave Bai Ye a demonstration.

Bai Ye tried to learn from him and delivered the baby successfully the second time. However, he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.

“Look, like I said, it’s not difficult,” Wang Qilin said triumphantly.

A smile appeared on Bai Ye’s face.

“It’s indeed not that difficult.”

“Next, you have to care for the monsters and bind up their wounds. Every exam includes different questions. However, most of the time, one will be tested on delivery, as it is the most difficult skill among the other skills required of a Beginner Monster Caregiver. If one is capable of delivering a baby, one will have no problem with any other aspects.”

After the learning session, Bai Ye wanted to familiarize himself with the steps a few more times.

Wang Qilin pulled Bai Ye’s arm and walked out.

“I think I might need to repeat it a few more times…”

“No, you have mastered it.”

“???”

“Don’t worry, the reason I let you go through this learning session today is so that you won’t forget the basic movements. You don’t have to do anything, and I can ensure that you will pass tomorrow,” Wang Qilin said meaningfully. “Trust your buddy.”

Then, he added, “Well, you are rarely here at my house. Let’s do something new. Have you heard of the Tamed Beast Race?”

“Of course.”

It was one of the few competitive sports on the Obsidian Planet.

The Tamed Beast Race was widely known.

One had to race while riding a tamed beast within a designated complex terrain. The fastest and the first to reach the finishing point would be the Tamed Beast Race ​Champion.

There would be a respective winner for tamed beasts of different levels.

For example, there would be a Silver-Level Race ​​Champion, a Gold-Level Race ​​Champion, and so on.

“We can’t participate in that kind of advanced game, but we have a simplified version here!”

Wang Qilin led Bai Ye to a clearing in the backyard.

Scrap tires had been piled up to form obstacles on this vacant land, which covered several acres.

They formed a winding track.

“This is Xiaohong, this is Sister Hua, and this is Big Fool.” Wang Qilin led Bai Ye to a big shed, where there were three Iron-Armored Babirusas.

“Xiaohong is an Iron-Armored Babirusa that just came of age. It turns two years old this year. It is lively and active, but it’s the least skilled one. Sister Hua turns 13 years old this year. It is a wily old fox. Although it is the strongest, it likes to skive around. Big Fool turns five years old this year. It has some problems, as it cannot stop as instructed and has trouble making turns at corners.” Wang Qilin introduced each one of them in detail to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye, who was speechless, could only give Wang Qilin a thumbs-up.

“You are awesome.”

“Which one will you choose? You get to choose first.”

After pondering it for a moment, Bai Ye asked, “Which one is the safest?”

Wang Qilin was stunned momentarily.

“Sister Hua is the safest. It is an old employee of the farm. It also has the mildest temper.”

Beasts who were not mild-tempered could not live for 13 years on the farm… Bai Ye thought to himself.

There were spots on Sister Hua’s body.

It was close to five meters long, and its back was wide and sturdy, like a soft sofa.

A firm pad was also attached to it.

Bai Ye sat on it.

He planted his feet securely on the iron rings and fastened the seat belt. It was unexpectedly stable.

“Hmph. Today, I will show you what it is like to complete a round of the outer ring in the shortest time.” Wang Qilin chose Xiaohong.

He then shouted, “Go!”

He sat on Xiaohong and the beast bounced and charged forward.

As for Sister Hua, who was carrying Bai Ye on its back, it sneaked a glance at the back of the boss’s son and walked forward lazily.

After two or three hours of playing this game, both of them were drenched in sweat.

They lay down on a mat after taking a shower.

The window was open, so they could feel the cool breeze coming from outside.

Wang Qilin crossed his hands behind his head.

“Old Fang, you are the first friend who was willing to come to my house.”

“That can’t be. Why would other people be unwilling to come here?”

“They believe that I must stink after learning that my family runs a pig farm and raises pigs. I don’t have many friends, and you are the only one that I am still in contact with.” Wang Qilin grinned. “By the way, Old Fang, what does your family do? How come you never talk about them?”

“We are just an ordinary family.” Bai Ye shook his head.

“How could an ordinary family enter the No. 1 High School? My dad used a lot of connections in order for me to enroll in this school.”

“An uncle helped me get in.” Bai Ye was reminded of his parents.

As far back as he could remember, he had never had a clear memory of his parents.

Dong Shentong, who was a big figure nowadays, was very respectful when his parents were mentioned.

Neither his father nor his mother had been natives of the Obsidian Planet. Back then, they had come to the Obsidian Planet from the outside world for some reason.

His father had always said that he wanted him to return to their ancestral land to receive the best training there.

His father had also said that they would have to pass through a place called the Chaotic Ocean of Stars on the way back.

People whose meditation level was higher than the diamond level were the only ones who could survive the Chaotic Ocean of Stars. This was why he had been left behind on the Obsidian Planet.

Over the years, Bai Ye had searched for the place named the Chaotic Ocean of Stars but had found nothing.

“I forgot that you are a star student. I just remembered that star students do not need to pay school fees,” Wang Qilin said.

The cold moonlight shone on the floor through the corner of the window.

The night always made one feel sentimental.

The two of them fell asleep after having a casual chat.

…

In his dreams, Bai Ye felt as if he had traveled through endless time and space.

This feeling seemed familiar.

He had yet to react when he opened his eyes.

All he could see was a hazy space.

There was a yellow-gray mist in the void.

Large tombs were also floating in the void.

At the moment, he was in front of a new grave.

In the frozen mausoleum in front of him was a monster with a pair of red eyes and two horns that was standing upright like a human. It had the facial features of an eagle and four wings on its back. There was thick smoke around it, and it seemed like it was being sealed in the mausoleum.

He might be having an illusion. However, he had the feeling that the monster in the tomb was sizing him up with a special look in its eyes.

It seemed to be encouraging him.

“Come on! Hurry up and meditate. I will get out of here very soon.”

…

He woke up late that day.

It was already 9:30 in the morning when Bai Ye and Wang Qilin were woken up by someone else.

“Get up quickly! Why do you like to sleep late on weekends?!” Wang Defu placed a small plastic bag on the table.

“Xiaobai, these are toiletries. Make yourself at home,” Wang Defu told Bai Ye.

“Thank you, Uncle Wang.”

They got up and washed up.

Their breakfast had been left in the kitchen.

After breakfast, Wang Qilin and Bai Ye walked to the depths of the farm. “I will take you to meet your partner for the day.”

He was under the impression that this was an individual test.

Bai Ye felt puzzled.

He followed Wang Qilin’s footsteps and reached a single luxurious shed.

The spacious room inside the shed seemed small given the enormous creature inside it.

Sister Hua, the beast he had met yesterday, was two times smaller than the Iron-Armored Babirusa in the shed.
