I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

At the dinner table, cups were passed around and people drank one cup after another.

Lu Yuan didn't drink alcohol, he was drinking a beverage. He still had things to do later, so it was impossible for him to fail at the critical moment.

"Hey teacher, where is your Dabai? Ask him to come out for dinner. I have also prepared a meat pot specially for your Dabai."

Lu Yuan wanted to refuse, but Cheng's father stopped him with just one sentence: "The meal is ready, you can't throw it away."

In order not to waste food, Lu Yuan could only let Dabai finish the New Year's Eve dinner with tears in his eyes.

Dabai: I’m not crying. I’m enjoying my meal.

The TV next to us was playing the Spring Festival Gala. No one was watching the boring skits and crosstalk. Everyone was talking about this year's harvest, other children's college performance, and future employment prospects.

As we talked, we came to talk about Cheng Xueyan's grades.

"Teacher, do you think it is possible for our Xueyan to be admitted to the Beast Taming University?" Father Cheng asked humbly.

Neither of Cheng Xueyan's parents are beastmasters, and even in this small village there are only a few beastmasters.

All those who became beast tamers moved out and never came back.

In this village with inconvenient transportation and backward productivity, every family hopes that their children will become beastmasters and take the whole family off to success.

Cheng Xueyan sat opposite the dining table, head down and silent.

Her raccoon has evolved into a two-star chef. At that time, she was naive and ignorant, and did not think about such far-reaching things. The teachers in the village were just ordinary teachers, not beast tamers.

It was not until this year, when a beast tamer came to the village to teach for the first time, that she learned from Lu Yuan that Dali's training was ruined. From the moment it became the head chef, it lost hope of applying for the combat department.

Now, she can only apply for the Cultivation Department, but the teacher has never explained in detail whether it is difficult to pass the entrance examination, and she doesn’t know whether she can pass.

“The environment has changed now and it’s not as comfortable as before.

“In the past, there were many research routes, and the training department was short of people, so we would recruit people from all over the place.

"In recent years, the international scientific research community has been stagnant, with no satisfactory new results coming out, and university enrollment has also been tightened.

"Now the school is more inclined to recruit students from the combat department. In terms of the enrollment ratio, the ratio of combat department to training department is 7 to 3. The admission threshold of the training department has been raised, and many people have been screened out.

“I’ve read her lab report and it’s currently qualified.

"But Dali has no auxiliary ability, which will reduce his score in front of the admissions teacher."

While Lu Yuan was eating the New Year's Eve dinner, he saw the expressions of the Cheng family members gradually change from joy to solemnity.

It's New Year's Day, how can you say such unlucky words?

Lu Yuan immediately changed the subject and said, "But that is very difficult for ordinary students.

"When no one has made any breakthrough achievements, if Cheng Xueyan can be the second or third author of a paper in the Department of Cultivation, she will stand out much more than ordinary students.

"Even if the initial pet's evolution path is very ordinary, it will not affect her application. The admissions teacher will prefer to recruit good students who can start doing research in their freshman year."

Lu Yuan's words gave everyone a hint, and everyone's eyes brightened.

But soon, they realized something else.

Where can I find the second and third authors of the cultivation department's papers? Does their daughter have this ability?

Doesn't this mean I have to pay for a spot?

Father Cheng immediately began to calculate how much savings the family had, but he didn't know how much it would cost to buy a location.

"Teacher, can't I pass the exam if I apply normally?" Cheng Xueyan said somewhat discouraged.

"Of course you can, as long as your scores are higher than those students in the county." Lu Yuan sighed.

In the past, when the enrollment quotas were not tight, not many people applied to the training department. Everyone wanted to fight and wanted to stand on the global arena to show the invincibility of their pets.

Now the times have changed, people have lost confidence in pet research, and the breeding department has achieved few results in recent years, resulting in a 90% reduction in the resources of the entire department compared to four or five years ago.

The resources of the Beastmaster University are limited. It is impossible to recruit students without having the resources to train them.

The combat department is so rich that it is overflowing with oil, but that is also the resources that they have obtained by using their own strength to create space cracks.

Therefore, the number of students that the Beast Taming School can recruit is determined based on existing resources.

Schools with fewer resources cannot afford to support so many people, so the number of admissions will naturally decrease.

Famous universities with abundant resources and training programs also produce a lot of scientific research results.

In order to ensure that there are results every year, we naturally have to select the best students for admission.

If you are not selected, you will be admitted to the second choice school.

If you are not selected again, you will end up with the third and fourth choices.

“But don’t be discouraged.

"I have chosen a topic for my graduation thesis, and I will bring a group of students to help me.

“As long as you don’t get lazy, I can give you a position as the third author.

“If you perform well, you can be the second author.”

Lu Yuan did not mean to undermine people's confidence on New Year's Eve, but he was speaking realistically. It is difficult for normal applicants to compete with students from big cities.

Big cities have huge populations and many beast tamers, who have been learning beast taming knowledge since childhood.

When it comes to exams, each of them is the best among ten thousand.

If you want to compete with them in the rankings, unless you are gifted and made of gold, ordinary people should find other ways to overtake them.

Of course, if Cheng Xueyan applied for the combat department, there wouldn’t be so many twists and turns.

In the combat system, the pet's combat power is the only score.

As long as you can fight and beat the candidates of the same period and defeat the last one at the end, you can be admitted to Beast Taming University.

This is a battle without any water.

If you can beat them, you can beat them.

If you can’t beat him, you’re just a loser. Just practice more and try again next year.

If you still fail to apply for re-examination next year, then the Beastmaster University will not accept you.

The combat department places great emphasis on combat ability and combat talent. Talented people may have been delayed and can seek guidance from a teacher. Spending a year is enough to fill in the gaps and demonstrate their talents. People without ability will naturally be ruthlessly eliminated by their opponents.

In the battle, only the winner can survive.

Closer to home.

When Lu Yuan told Cheng's father and Cheng Xueyan that he needed help with his thesis, they both smiled happily and saw hope.

Later they wanted to talk to Lu Yuan in detail, but Lu Yuan refused the chat on the grounds that he was looking for information to prepare for his graduation thesis.

After dinner, he immediately took Dabai back to the dormitory.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. Firecrackers are already blasting outside. Colorful fireworks are shooting straight into the sky, exploding into beautiful auspicious clouds of fireworks.

White Nian beasts roamed in the forest. They brought the little Nian beasts behind them and walked into the village with light steps to stay up and celebrate the New Year.

They saw that there were Nian beasts following Lu Yuan. The wild Nian beasts did not approach him, but just howled and said Happy New Year.

Lu Yuan also waved and greeted them with a smile.

“Ah!”

Dabai also wagged his tail and barked at them to express his welcome.

When it was a child, it also followed its parents to the human world to celebrate the New Year.

It remembers the first time they met, its parents were standing in the corridor and it was hiding timidly behind their butts.

I heard the little boy exclaim "Wow", as if he was particularly surprised and liked it very much.

It stuck out half of its head and met little Lu Yuan's eyes, seeing Lu Yuan's innocent eyes.

Dabai felt at that time that this guy was someone who could get along with him and become a future partner.
