Beastmastering: The Best Master Ever!-Chapter 1: My World Has Changed

Jianlan High School, Examination Room 301.

Chen Qiyue sat behind his desk and looked at the paper in his hand. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Was he still dreaming because he was too nervous and did not sleep well last night?

Shouldn't it be the comprehensive science test now?

But why did these strange questions appear on the paper? 𝚋𝚎𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

What's the way to tell the gender of the Lightning Rats?

What attributes does the Bramble Seahorse have?

What is the ultimate superpower that the Magnetic Lipstick Monster can learn?

Chen Qiyue rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He definitely did not sleep well. His eyes were playing tricks on him.

He opened his eyes again.

Next question:

It's said that at night on the sea, you can hear a beauty, who's transformed from a Giant Ugly Fish, singing on a reef. Is this true?

Ha… Haha…

Shouldn't it be the comprehensive science test now? Why would such questions appear?!!!

Alright, as a straight-A student, it was fine to change the questions, as long as he could memorize the corresponding textbook in advance.

But now…

With trembling hands, Chen Qiyue handed over the sheet that was filled with random answers.

Putting aside what had happened to this world, he only knew that his college entrance examination results were done.

Walking out of the class, Chen Qiyue saw familiar people, familiar campus, and familiar scenes.

He took a deep breath and began to think if he was sick.

Paranoia? Psychosis? Schizophrenia? Or…

"Yuezi, what university will you choose after the college entrance examination?"

A familiar voice came from behind him.

Chen Qiyue turned around stiffly and swallowed his saliva when he saw his best friend, Zheng Yun, whom he had grown up with.

"Yunzi, am I hopeless?"

Zheng Yun: (O_o)??

Zheng Yun looked at Chen Qiyue in confusion and subconsciously reached out to touch his forehead. "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Chen Qiyue opened his hand, his face full of despair. "When I was doing the papers just now, all I saw were some questions about Fantastic Beasts. It seems like I'm quite sick…"

"Yuezi, are you stupid? Today was supposed to be the test for the basic knowledge of the Fantastic Beasts!" Zheng Yun looked at Chen Qiyue as if he was looking at a fool.

However, he immediately came to a realization.

"Oh, I know. Don't tell me you were thinking about our school belle last night and stayed up all night because you were burning with desire. Did you get lovesick?"

The corners of Chen Qiyue's mouth twitched. Was he talking about the school belle, Zhang Siyun, who had so overly photoshopped her picture that her face looked like a snake?

He wasn't that desperate!

At this moment, two candidates walked past them.

"Today's exam is so difficult. If I don't get into the top 100, there's no hope of getting a discount for the Fantastic Beast egg."

"That's right, Fantastic Beast eggs are really too expensive. God bless me to enter the top 100!"

Chen Qiyue turned around stiffly and laughed dryly at Zheng Yun. He swallowed the words he was about to say. "I'm finished. I definitely failed the exam."

Zheng Yun could not help but laugh. "Yuezi, don't joke around. You've been a top student since you were young. You'll definitely have a place in the top three of this exam!"

Chen Qiyue looked at the white clouds in the distance in a daze. He was good at physics, chemistry and biology, not the basics of Fantastic Beasts.

What was wrong with this world?

Was he crazy, or was the entire world crazy?

A day later, Chen Qiyue sat in front of the computer with a dispirited expression.

He finally understood his current situation.

He did not know if he had transmigrated or if the world had changed.

In short, without him knowing anything, the world around him had changed.

In his life, there were so many Fantastic Beasts that only existed in the anime world. Moreover, they were Fantastic Beasts that he knew nothing about.

His parents were still the same. His uncles, aunties, and other relatives had not changed. What changed was the rules of this world. There were now Fantastic Beasts.

The key was that a day ago was the college entrance examination of this world. The results of the examination determined the opportunity to choose the Fantastic Beast egg.

And this opportunity would greatly affect the students' aptitude to obtain the initial Fantastic Beast.

Because the graduates would bring their Fantastic Beasts to study in different fields.

It was commonly known as the Fantastic Beast Universities.

The Fantastic Beast Universities were divided into different departments, namely the Feeding Department, Training Department, Research Department, and so on.

All departments had compulsory and elective courses.

Different results determined the quality of the Fantastic Beast University that a graduate could go to in the future.

Only students who got into the Fantastic Beast University could have more than six Fantastic Beasts.

There were also some who couldn't get into the Fantastic Beast University. Other than buying a Fantastic Beast at their own expense, they couldn't get any more Fantastic Beasts.

Unless they studied independently and obtained various certificates, such as the Feeder Qualification Certificate, the Trainer Qualification Certificate, the Researcher Qualification Certificate, and so on.

Typically, high schools would set a threshold. Once one reached this threshold, they would receive government funding with an opportunity to buy a discounted Fantastic Beast egg.

For example, in their province, the top three would obtain a C-rank Fantastic Beast egg for free. The top 100 would be able to buy Fantastic Beast eggs of different levels with a 90% discount according to their ranking.

Hence, even if they couldn't get into a top-notch Fantastic Beast University, they could save a lot of money on the initial Fantastic Beast even if they could only go to an ordinary Fantastic Beast University.

But the key point now was that Chen Qiyue had failed the exam!

If he hadn't transmigrated to the final exam venue, Chen Qiyue would have been able to memorize a portion of the Fantastic Beast knowledge with his super strong temporary memory.

He wouldn't have had to give random answers for all questions.

Now, he could only pray to God that his question-answering skills in his previous life were all right.

If there are three short options and a long one, choose the long one…

Chen Qiyue rubbed the space between his eyebrows and gave up on the idea of praying.

Relying on his memory, he copied down the test papers and checked the answers one by one.

Although the answer technique was very useful, he had answered less than 20% of the questions correctly on the paper whose full score was 300 points.

Looking at the price of the cheapest Fantastic Beast egg on the computer, Chen Qiyue only wanted to hold his forehead.

The most cost-effective E-rank fat-eyed worm egg was sold for 200,000 yuan on the market.

God knows why the worm laid eggs!

200,000 yuan? He could only earn 100 yuan a day. How much work did he have to do? If it really didn't work out, he could only ask his parents to pay for it, or take the college entrance examination again.

Chen Qiyue sighed, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, his phone rang.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Xiao Yue, are you done with the exams? I don't need to ask about your results. Your results must be very good."

"I heard that the top three can have a free Fantastic Beast egg with good aptitude. I'm proud of you!"

As soon as he picked up the phone, his mother's excited voice came from the other end.

Chen Qiyue opened his mouth, but he could not bring himself to say the words "I failed the exam."

Take the exam again? Did he still have the face to do that?

Chen Qiyue's face was filled with confusion. He did not know where his future was going.

"Xiao Yue, I heard that students with good grades can choose their own university, right? I don't know which university is good. You can decide on your own."

"You have to be careful when you're alone outside. Oh right, you don't have to come back for the time being. Your father has a friend who wants us to visit his place for a few months. I'll give you your living expenses later."

"When we get back, you'll probably be in university by then. You can come back during the winter break. I'll get the Thick Milk Cow to produce milk for you…"

When Chen Qiyue hung up the phone in a daze, a text message notification quickly appeared on his phone.

It was the living expenses that his mother had given him.

As for how much money there was, he was not in the mood to look at it now. His entire mind was filled with thoughts of what to do, what to do, what to do…
