Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

Chapter 143 First Visit to Shengcheng

Parting is always like this. Even at the moment before or after parting, there are not too many emotions. Only when you look back after a period of time, you will find that on that seemingly ordinary day, you have bid farewell to a life that you are accustomed to.

It was only after Mo Xu passed the airport security check and boarded the plane that he suddenly felt a little dazed and dislocated.

Before, the time travel was just a matter of closing his eyes and opening them, but the plane that was about to take off made him feel the physical sense of traveling a long distance.

What he thought of was not just the short two months in Jiangming City, but the first half of his life on Earth, which he would most likely never return to.

In this strange world, he has perfectly passed the starting stage and has established a firm foothold. Everything is on the right track. Now he is about to go to a new place and start a new journey.

"Dear passengers, the plane is now ready to take off. Please straighten your seat backs and put away your small tables..."

The sound of the airport broadcast brought Mo Xu back to his senses. The first part was similar to what was happening on Earth, but at the end, it began to seriously emphasize that you must never summon monsters on the plane. Once you do so, it is an illegal act and is considered a threat to public safety.

The broadcast for escape is also different. On Zhanxing, there is no need to parachute in times of crisis because there will be two monsters flying with you, one of which is responsible for emergency rescue.

The monster responsible for emergency rescue is called the "Giant-Winged Bat Bird". It is a large monster that resembles a bird and a bat. This monster has great endurance and a very large wingspan. It is specially trained to be "giantly polarized" so that it can carry a plane of passengers for an emergency landing in times of danger. The disadvantage is that this type of monster can only carry people for a short period of time.

The other accompanying flying monster is responsible for blocking possible dangers in the air and driving away some wild monsters living in the air. This one is usually a high-level heroic spirit.

For example, the other flying companion of Mo Xu this time is the "Wind-Splitting Falcon" with a spiritual power value of more than 80,000, a wind-type evolved version of the Large Kite Falcon.

As for why we don't use Skywing Mantas for short-term travel, it's because the geographical distances between cities are very large after the recovery. Ordinary people cannot withstand long-term high-speed air travel without special training. To be able to travel between cities, one must be at least an intermediate Beast Tamer, and the danger must also be considered.

This also explains why an economy class ticket can easily cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Mo Xu's trip to the Western Military Region is extremely long and the ticket price is 150,000 yuan. If it is a cross-border flight and he wants to leave China, the price will be hundreds of thousands.

Ordinary families can hardly afford such expenses. There are many people who have never left the city where they were born in their entire lives, especially those who are not beastmasters.

The flight took off at noon on the 10th and flew until o'clock in the morning on the th, a total of nearly a day, before the plane landed safely at the airport in Shengcheng.

Mo Xu's whole body ached, and his butt was almost numb from sitting. On Earth, high-speed trains were already popular, and I was afraid that only green-skinned trains could provide a similar experience.

It should be said that it is more uncomfortable than a sleeper berth. This is economy class, and you can only sit and endure it. It should be comparable to a train with hard seats. If you want to be more comfortable, the luxury class ticket costs millions of yuan, which is not something that only the rich can afford.

After picking up the checked luggage, Mo Xu met Yu Jingyan who came to pick him up at the airport exit.

"Thank you for your hard work. You didn't get much sleep today. I was so tired from sitting all day when I came back." After Yu Jingyan greeted Mo Xu, she immediately helped him carry his luggage.

"I'm fine, I can do it myself." Mo Xu was certainly not that squeamish, and he felt embarrassed to let a little girl take it.

But he was also curious: "Are you also sitting in economy class?"

"What? Isn't it possible?"

"No, just asking..."

Yu Jingyan took over the conversation calmly and said without hesitation: "You thought I was the daughter of a city president, so I must be very rich, right? But I am just an adopted daughter, I don't have the style of a young lady, hahahaha."

Mo Xu admired Yu Jingyan's quick-talking style, which made her seem very confident, so he also said, "It's not that we can't afford to sit in the luxury cabin, but that it's not cost-effective, right?"

"That's right." Yu Jingyan led the way: "Let's go first, we can talk in the car, the driver is waiting outside."

The two walked out of the airport together and got into the car. Mo Xu sat in the back seat while Yu Jingyan sat in the passenger seat.

"Let's go to the Association Center first." Yu Jingyan said to the driver after getting in the car, and the driver started the car. She turned back and said to Mo Xu, "Why don't you take a nap first? I'll call you when we get there."

"No, I'll feel more sleepy if I sleep now." Mo Xu looked at the new city from the car window. It didn't feel poor or dilapidated. Just looking from the outside of the airport, it still looked like a modern city.

Yu Jingyan glanced at Mo Xu looking out the window and smiled, "How is it? Didn't you expect Shengcheng to look so good? It doesn't feel like you've come to a remote place, right?"

“It’s indeed much better than I imagined.”

"But it's actually still pretty bad. Shengcheng is the capital of the Western Military Region, so it can't be as dilapidated as the outside world says. But the Western Military Region is generally poor. We have a vast territory, half the size of the Southern, Eastern, and Capital Military Regions, but we have less than half the number of cities as you do. Many places in the West are seriously short of water, and there won't be many places suitable for living before recovery."

She continued to introduce her hometown to Mo Xu: "Also, the dangers in the wild here are much greater than in other military regions. You also know that beyond the wild, there is the vast "no man's land". Among the ten forbidden areas here are the "ghost shadow forbidden land", "pisces forbidden land", and "immortal egg forbidden land". In fact, it was not appropriate for me to say that the three forbidden areas belonged to the western military region. It should be said that these places are the closest to our west. Due to these reasons, the development level of the west is of course much behind."

The "forbidden areas" are all located in no-man's land. They are special areas under special geographical conditions. Each forbidden area is famous because countless masters have died there. There are ten major forbidden areas in the world, and each of them has records of the death of masters. They are the most terrifying existences in no-man's land.

After all, it’s not that the West is without resources; it’s just that it’s too inland, making it more difficult to obtain them.

But it’s not that no one is trying hard. For example, the Chen family bought the complete heroic soul from the "Ghost Forbidden Land" and gave it to the genius Chen Yuhui.

While listening to Yu Jingyan's introduction to the local customs and culture, the car soon arrived at the association center of Shengcheng City.

Although this place cannot catch up with first-tier cities such as the capital, Jinling City, and Honghai City, as the capital of the west, its grandeur is higher than that of Jiangming City.

Yu Jingyan took Mo Xu to the top floor, entered the office, and met the president of the association of Shengcheng, Yu Xinhai. At the same time, the president of the association in the capital also served as the vice president of the entire western association division, ranking fourth in the entire western leadership power.

She said to Xinhai: "Father, this is Mo Xu from Jiangming City."

Yu Xinhai looks much younger than Chachuan, with all black hair and less bureaucratic air, but he looks a little serious.

He stood up from the desk in his office, walked to the reception sofa, and said, "Mo Xu, right? Sit down. I've heard of you in many places."

Mo Xu sat opposite Yu Xinhai, and Yu Jingyan also sat on the sofa on the side between them.

As soon as Yu Xinhai sat down, he said bluntly: "Young people nowadays are less and less interested in coming to the west. It is difficult for us at Gusheng University to recruit good talents. Even local students like to go abroad. Now we have invested so many resources in you and intend to devote all our efforts to cultivating a famous genius like you. You must honestly help Gusheng University."

Mo Xu promised Xinhai: "Of course, now that I'm in the West, I will fight for myself and bring honor to my university."

Yu Xinhai nodded, pondered for a while, and felt that this guarantee was a bit empty, so he said, "How about this, I have seen geniuses who were very strong in the early stage but sluggish in the later stage. If you can participate in the college league next year and make it to the quarterfinals, I will give you 30% more of the rewards promised before. If you still can't make it to the quarterfinals in your junior year, the rewards will be halved for the rest of the year. How about that?"

He added, "Of course, you can choose not to agree to my verbal bet and keep everything as it was. You are a genius that the higher-ups have high hopes for, and we can afford the money."

Mo Xu understood where Yu Jingyan's style came from. Just like her father, she didn't beat around the bush and just presented her chips and stated her conditions right away.

Moreover, Yu Xinhai seemed to be afraid that Mo Xu would not agree, so he used some provocation.

Mo Xu was not someone who was afraid of challenges. Instead, he asked confidently, "President Yu, what if I can participate in the college league next year?"
