Jiang Yu sat in a chair in his room, closed the thick book in his hand, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
It had been three days since he arrived in this world, and Jiang Yu had gradually adapted to it.
That's right, Jiang Yu was not from this world. He was originally just an ordinary college graduate on Blue Star, with nothing special about him except for his good looks. After receiving his diploma, he wanted to play a game to commemorate his college life.
He didn't expect to lose consciousness just as he entered the game, before he could even drink his can of soda.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the table in his old room, but the books on the table were a bit unfamiliar.
Seeing the books on the table, such as "The Basics of Spirit Pet Training," "The Basics of Spirit Pet Cultivation," "The History of Xia Kingdom," and "A Comprehensive Guide to Common Beast Spirits," Jiang Yu felt that something was very wrong.
Through his phone and the books on the table, along with the gradually increasing memories in his mind, Jiang Yu gradually understood this world over the past three days.
This world was not the same as the previous one; it was a world of Spirit Pet Trainers.
In this world, everyone could awaken their destined spirit pet and become a glorious Spirit Pet Trainer. There were many dangers in this world, and without strength, it was difficult to even leave the city, which made Spirit Pet Trainers the most important profession in this world.
The history of this world was also different from that of Blue Star. After the Ming Dynasty came the Spirit Dynasty, and after the Spirit Dynasty came the current Great Xia Kingdom.
The country had changed, but the college entrance exam still existed.
Through all this, Jiang Yu realized that he had been transported to a parallel world, where he was 18 years old and in his final year of high school.
In this world, August 15th was the day when all high school seniors would awaken their destined spirit pets, and today was August 14th.
Since he had come here illegally, would he be able to awaken a spirit pet tomorrow? If he could, what kind of spirit pet would it be? If he couldn't, what should he do?
"Knock, knock, knock"
A rhythmic knocking sound came from the door.
"Xiao Yu, it's time to eat."
Jiang Yu's mother, Jiang Lijuan, knocked on the door to his room.
"Okay, Mom, you go ahead and eat. I'll be there in a moment."
Jiang Yu replied, slapping his face.
He decided not to think about it anymore and went to eat.
He then tidied up the messy books and items on his desk, moved his chair, stood up, and headed to the dining table.
Sitting down at the dining table, Jiang Yu looked at his mother, who was serving the dishes, and asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"
Jiang Lijuan placed the dishes on the table.
"Your father has some business to attend to. A beast spirit appeared in Kaeye Town, and he went to help. He won't be back for a few days. You should eat now."
"Okay."
Jiang Yu started eating.
He wasn't worried about his father going to Kaeye Town to deal with the beast spirit. With the memories he had absorbed, he knew that his father, Jiang Dazhuang, was the vice president of the Spirit Pet Association in Jianglin County and was one of the top experts in the entire county. Dealing with some beast spirits was no problem for him.
"I'm done eating."
Jiang Yu finished the remaining rice in a few big bites and told his mother.
To be honest, the food in this world was much better than before, and Jiang Yu felt that coming to this world was worth it just for the variety of new delicious foods.
"Tomorrow is your first day of school, so go to bed early today."
Jiang Lijuan looked at Jiang Yu.
"Check if you have everything you need and pack your things. Don't rush in the morning."
"Okay, I know."
Jiang Yu waved his hand and walked back to his room.
Nighttime.
Jiang Yu lay on his big bed.
Tomorrow, he would awaken his destined spirit pet, and he hoped he would succeed.
He was still a bit excited and anxious.
Looking at his phone, it was 11:57 PM.
Damn, it's so late.
He had to wake up early tomorrow, so he rolled over on his big bed and turned off the light to go to sleep.
No matter how much he thought about it, it wouldn't change anything. He fell asleep with his thoughts.
...
The next morning, Jiang Yu woke up, yawned, and opened the door to his room, walking to the living room where he saw his mother, Jiang Lijuan, preparing breakfast.
"Mom, what's for breakfast?"
Jiang Yu asked his mother.
"I've boiled some eggs. We're having porridge today. Go wash up quickly, and I'll serve you a bowl of porridge."
Jiang Lijuan served the porridge and replied.
Seeing his mother serving the porridge, Jiang Yu walked to the bathroom.
Jiang Yu's mother, Jiang Lijuan, looked gentle and virtuous, with a petite figure at nearly 160 cm tall. She always had a gentle smile and had the charm of a woman from the Jiangnan region.
After washing up, Jiang Yu looked at his still handsome face in the mirror and slowly felt the reality of this world.
Breakfast was quickly finished, and Jiang Yu went to his room to grab his backpack and prepare to leave.
"Mom, I'm going to school."
Jiang Yu opened the door, put on his shoes, and called out to his mother.
"Okay, check if you have everything you need. Walk slowly and be careful on the road."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Jiang Yu closed the door and walked down the stairs.
Jiang Yu lived in the Jianglin Spirit Pet Community on the third floor, which was not far from the school, so he always walked to school.
Just as he went down the stairs and hadn't left the community, he was stopped by a thin, slightly lecherous-looking teenager.
"Jiang Yu, why are you in such a hurry? Even if you're going to awaken your spirit pet today, you don't have to abandon me, do you?"
Jiang Yu looked at Yang Xiaoming and gave him a look, letting him figure it out.
From his memories, Jiang Yu knew that Yang Xiaoming was his close friend. They had become neighbors when Yang Xiaoming moved to this community in high school and were also desk mates, which led to their close relationship.
Yang Xiaoming, ignoring Jiang Yu's look, continued on his own.
"Jiang Yu, what if I awaken a really powerful spirit pet? Should I just take off?"
Jiang Yu was speechless and replied,
"You know very well that when awakening a destined spirit pet, it's always at the newborn level. In the many years since the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, no one has ever had a powerful newborn spirit pet. They're all the same. You might as well hope for a higher talent, so your spirit pet can evolve into a stronger form."
Yang Xiaoming laughed and replied,
"I read this news online. What if I do? Maybe I'll take off."
"Speaking of which, Jiang Yu, what kind of spirit pet do you want to awaken? If you ask me, a humanoid spirit pet is the best, like a fire girl or a little fairy. They can be raised as a wife, hehehe."
Although Jiang Yu agreed in his heart, he maintained a straight face and replied,
"Cough, superficial. How can you only look at the appearance? I think cat, dog, or snake forms are all good. In the future, most will evolve into tiger or dragon forms, which are particularly powerful and majestic."
Yang Xiaoming nodded in agreement,
"Right, right. Cat forms are also good. Last month, the news said that someone's newborn spirit pet, a Flame Cat, evolved into a Flame Cat Girl. Do you know? That's a cat girl, tsk tsk tsk. I wonder what that person did in their past life."
Jiang Yu: "......"
"Let's go quickly, or we'll be late."
Jiang Yu didn't say anything more and called out to Yang Xiaoming, then they left.
