Beast Familiarity begins with inheritance

The 4th day of National Day.

In the morning, Gu Ling, accompanied by Gu Mingsheng, went up the mountain to visit the grave.

When he finally came to the graves of his parents in this world, Gu Ling looked a little stunned.

Gu Ling looked at the black and white photo on the tombstone and murmured: "Second uncle, I can't remember what my parents look like..."

"Back then, my parents..."

"Hey..." Gu Mingsheng sighed softly, took out the incense candle from the basket, lit it with a lighter, and inserted it in front of the tombstone.

"Your parents are both top students in prestigious universities. They like to study the lost beast civilization. They often follow some well-known scholars to various secret places to explore the lost beast civilization."

"Lost pet beast civilization?" This was the first time Gu Ling heard this word, and it felt a little strange.

If it refers to pet beast civilization alone, Gu Ling can understand the meaning, but why is the word "lost" added in front of it?
Gu Mingsheng said eloquently: "Because there has always been a saying in the field of animal pet science that the sudden appearance of the secret realm is probably a fragment of another world that came to our world for unknown reasons."

"Isn't it possible that the pet beast is a product of this world itself?" Gu Ling asked doubtfully.

"Unlikely." Gu Mingsheng shook his head: "The birth process of the creatures in the local world can be traced. Only the pet beasts appear suddenly, without a birth process, and without any evolution. It is like they have been destroyed for a long time. The mature body created.”

"Long-term research has shown that the secret realms everywhere do have signs of faint integration with our world. In order to keep track of the degree of integration, the Pet Beast Alliance will send survey teams into the secret realms every once in a while to investigate the situation and collect data."

"In the secret realm, the investigation team once discovered unknown symbols and pictures on the stone walls, which were somewhat similar to the ancient hieroglyphs in our world. So the researchers speculated that these were probably the characters of the beast civilization."

Gu Mingsheng turned around and saw Gu Ling's thoughtful expression, and said, "Because there is a possibility of another world, some information will be processed and blocked. It's normal for you not to know. When you get on the beast control In college, you will gradually come into contact with it.”

Gu Ling asked again: "Then my parents' job is to enter the investigation team into the secret realm?"

Gu Mingsheng nodded slightly: "Yes, after you were born, your parents gradually retired from front-line work and were usually only responsible for some clerical work behind the scenes."

"Actually, I don't know much about your parents' specific jobs."

"In the early years, I entered the Pet Guild through your parents' connections, and became a beast master with the Pet Beast Guild's establishment. I usually formed a group to go to the secret realm, and the pet resources I obtained could be exchanged for money from the guild. Sometimes I obeyed I follow some instructions from above to complete tasks, and my days are considered peaceful and fulfilling.”

After finishing the incense, Gu Mingsheng poured out a few more glasses of wine and placed them neatly in front of the two tombstones.

He stared at the black and white photo on the tombstone and fell into memories: "But one day... your parents were invited to a new secret place somewhere. At that time, you just entered kindergarten, so you stayed here with me."

"More than half a year later, your parents suddenly came back to pick you up, and left again within a few days. When I heard from them again, it was the news that they had died in a car accident."

"Your whereabouts were not clear at first. I have been looking for news about you outside, and then I found you in a children's welfare home. You also know everything about what happened after that."

"The death of my parents was an accident?" Gu Ling squatted aside, took out the paper money from the basket, lit it with a lighter, and put it in the pit to burn.

Gu Mingsheng nodded with a heavy expression: "Your parents died in a car accident at that time. Both the police and the commissioner of the Pet Alliance carefully inspected the car. There was nothing wrong with the car, but there were signs of being attacked by the pets."

"Your parents' job is to enter the secret realm and deal with wild pet beasts in various secret realms. Therefore, the police and the pet beast alliance unanimously judged that your parents probably provoked some kind of powerful pet beast in the secret realm, and then were chased by the pet beast. In the process, unfortunately a car accident occurred.”

"Pet beast? Is there any possibility of artificiality?" Gu Ling asked.

Gu Mingsheng shook his head: "At that time, I also doubted whether a certain beast master instigated the contracted beast to secretly kill him."

"But the police and the Pet Alliance have been investigating for more than half a year, looking into your parents' past interpersonal relationships. Your parents are kind-hearted people and have never had any grudges with anyone."

"You were only four years old at the time. You had a high fever when you were brought back, and your memory was blurred when you woke up. The doctor determined that you might have been frightened, and your body mechanism had developed self-protection, causing you to forget that memory. …”

Hearing that he had really forgotten his childhood memories, Gu Ling suddenly realized.

No wonder she didn't receive complete memories before.

Gu Mingsheng poured a few glasses of wine slowly on the ground: "The kind of profession your parents engage in is even more dangerous than the dangers of guild beast masters like us, but it has been so many years now, and you have grown up safely. Now that you are older, I believe your parents’ spirits in heaven will also be very pleased.”

"Well, thank you uncle for telling me this."

After paying homage to their parents, Gu Ling and Gu Mingsheng went down the mountain together.

……

After the two of them went down the mountain, when they passed by the cultural building in the town, they saw many people stopping in front of the bulletin board, as if they were talking about the new announcement posted on it.

"...There are really monsters on the island. I didn't lie to you before."

"No, is that ghost story the old people told us true?!"

A man wearing a suit and looking like an urban elite stood up and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone! In fact, there is no such thing as a monster at all."

"That's just a ghost-type pet beast. We are now recruiting powerful beast masters to solve this problem. If there are any beast masters who have contracted super-type or evil-type beasts, you are welcome to apply. If you can turn this beast into If this matter is solved, there will be a bonus of 20..."

Gu Ling was not too surprised when he heard that the so-called monster was a ghost beast.

Originally, she could probably guess some of it.

However, when he heard that there was a bonus of 20 yuan, Gu Ling's eyes instantly lit up several times.

Gu Ling stopped and asked the man in the suit: "What is the strength level of that ghost beast?"

The man in the suit hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe... he has warrior-level strength."

When he heard that it was a warrior-level strength, Gu Ling was instantly discouraged.

Xianjiu is only at the extraordinary level. Even if there is an evil bite attack that can restrain the ghost beast, the gap in level strength will be difficult to make up.

Gu Ling turned around and saw Gu Mingsheng beside him, and immediately regained hope: "Second uncle, do you want to apply? There is a bonus."

"I don't have a ghost-type pet or an evil-type pet. Even if I go, it will be difficult to catch the ghost-type pet." Gu Mingsheng shook his head, not showing much interest.

"Xianjiu has the skills of seeing through and biting. As long as the seeing through skills can hit the ghost beast, it will be easy for your pet to deal with the ghost beast." Gu Ling explained his plan. out.

"Second uncle, there is a bonus of 20 yuan, aren't you excited?"

For 20 yuan, you can buy another Glazed Qimu Fruit.

After listening to Gu Ling's words, Gu Mingsheng thought about it and felt that it was indeed somewhat feasible. "However, your safety issue... Xiao Ling, ghost beasts are not easy to deal with. Have you thought about it clearly?"

Gu Mingsheng did not refuse directly.

Since Gu Ling has chosen the path of beast master, he will always face various dangerous beasts alone in the future.

Now that I can still follow Gu Ling and take care of him, there is no harm in letting Gu Ling take this opportunity to exercise.

"I've thought it through, second uncle." Gu Ling said.

Seeing that Gu Ling still insisted, Gu Mingsheng agreed: "That's good."

The man in the suit promoted for almost half an hour, but most people just gathered around to watch the excitement. Just hearing that it was a ghost-type pet beast with warrior-level strength was enough to dissuade many people.

Most of the onlookers gradually dispersed after seeing that it was no longer interesting.

Just when the man in the suit was about to leave, Gu Mingsheng walked over and stopped the man in the suit and directly explained his purpose: "We are here to apply. Where is your person in charge? I want to see him first."

Seeing that someone had actually applied, the man in the suit immediately cheered up again: "Okay! Please come with me!"

"..."

10 minute later.

When the person in charge walked into the guest house and saw Gu Mingsheng and Gu Ling waiting inside, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by a polite smile on his face:
"It's just the two of you who are going to apply, right?"

Gu Mingsheng nodded: "Yes, my niece's pet has learned evil skills, and she can be a support."

"And I am a silver beast master. If your information is correct and the ghost beast is only at the warrior level, then we are sure to subdue that ghost beast."

Hearing this, the person in charge looked slightly relaxed and his tone became more calm: "Then I'll help you two. The deposit of 2 yuan will be put on your cards first. After the completion of the project, the remaining 18 yuan bonus will be handed over to you two." Bit."

Afterwards, Gu Mingsheng discussed specific matters with the person in charge.

The person in charge seemed to want to resolve the matter quickly. After asking Gu Mingsheng's wishes, he set the time to land on the island to capture the ghost beast at 19 o'clock tonight, which happened to be at dusk.

After coming out of the guest house, Gu Ling felt that things were going a little too smoothly.

"Second uncle, they decided to hire us so quickly? They didn't even need time to think about it?"

Gu Ling originally thought that someone in charge would think that a child like her was unreliable, and then a series of contemptuous and bloody stories happened.

As a result, the person in charge was very polite to both of them from beginning to end.

Gu Mingsheng smiled and asked: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

"The big boss behind them just took over the entire island. It seems that he is rich and powerful. Why not just hire a powerful beast master? Although there are relatively few gold medal beast masters for contracted evil beasts, it is better to find one There's always something there." Gu Ling directly expressed his doubts.

The evil beast race is rare in number and generally cruel and evil. In the past thousands of years of ancient history, it was once considered by humans to be the incarnation of "evil" and "unknown".

Even in modern society, in most of the popular beast movies and cartoons on the market today, evil beasts still often play the role of unpleasant villains.

If the ghost-type pet beasts were ranked No. 1 as the "pets that least want to contract", then the evil-type pet beasts were definitely close behind, ranking No. 2.

"really."

Gu Mingsheng nodded: "If you can hire a gold medal beast master, a warrior-level pet beast is nothing to be afraid of. However, the cost of a gold medal beast master is very high, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, and our price Very cheap."

After hearing the word "cheap", Gu Ling was completely stunned.

...Hi, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

"Furthermore, even if they want to lower the grade and invite a silver-level beastmaster who has contracted an evil beast, they will have to start at least 40." Gu Mingsheng stretched out his right palm, folded his thumb in half, and made a sign with the number '4' .

"The most important point is that water far away cannot resolve fire close by. Their project has been carried out with great fanfare and all kinds of machines and materials have been shipped. Now even a delay of one or two days can cause huge losses. It can be solved earlier. It’s definitely the best.”

After hearing this, Gu Ling lowered her head and began to think deeply. When the two of them were about to reach the door of the house, she suddenly said, "Second uncle, are you being underestimated? The person in charge only gave 20 yuan, which is less than half!"

Gu Ling's words were full of distress.

This is half the bonus!Just because there is no contracted evil pet beast.

"...You were underestimated! Not me!" Gu Mingsheng deliberately glared at Gu Ling with a sullen face.

This little girl walked all the way pretending to be serious. Is this the kind of thing she was thinking about?
Fortunately, he felt that this little girl was afraid of going back on her word midway.

……

After returning home, Gu Ling told the rest of the family about the incident.

"What?! I'm going to the island to catch ghost beasts, and I'm going too!" Upon hearing this, Gu Zhou immediately expressed his interest in joining.

"Where are you going?"

Although Gu Ya wanted to go, she was a bit more rational than Gu Zhou. After hearing this, she mercilessly criticized: "Ling Ling's pet beast is a super power type, and it can also see through and bite skills, so it can help." I'm busy, and you'll only be holding me back."

"I..." Gu Zhou couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only sit aside with a depressed look on his face.

"Are ghost beasts dangerous?" Xiang Jinli didn't care about the bonus, but started to worry about Gu Ling's safety.

Gu Mingsheng shook his head slightly: "It's just a warrior-level ghost beast, not too dangerous."

"It just feels a bit strange. There are no ghost-type pets nearby. How come there is a ghost-type pet here?"

Gu Ling thought of the ghost stories circulating on the island and said, "Second uncle, don't ghost beasts generally have a long life? Maybe it sneaked over a long time ago, but we just don't know it."

"Maybe."

Gu Mingsheng did not continue to worry about this aspect, but paid more attention to the landing on the island tonight: "None of this is important. We are going to land on the island tonight. There is still half a day. Let me tell you some things to pay attention to when going to the wild. …”
