Chapter 7 Lack of Funds
On the bus back to school, Teacher Zhou was quietly comforting the students who were disappointed because of the failed contract.
Chen Wei heard that there were about 100 students from Shuishan No. 2 Middle School who applied to go to Shuishan Breeding Base this time. There were 50 people on this bus alone, and only a dozen people succeeded in the contract, which was about the same as the success rate of the previous contract, about 25%.
The students who failed in the contract this time are estimated to be transferred to the third or fourth class of beast control.
The environment on the bus was a bit depressing. Even the students who looked at the star ring with joy when they first got on the bus were now mostly sitting quietly, and did not deliberately show off their pets.
Perhaps accidents and failures always accompany life. Looking at most of the students in front of him who were frustrated or even crying silently, Chen Wei tapped the armrest of the seat with his right hand fingers, and he was also very distressed.
The originally expected 1.5 million has now become 2.5 million, and the property left by his parents plus the subsidy from Donghua Country is only 1.5 million.
This is also thanks to the fact that the original father is an elite beast control master, otherwise ordinary orphans would not have so much funds.
Chen Wei had estimated that he would have 750,000 yuan of funds to cultivate pets after the loan, but now only 250,000 yuan is left.
The most important thing is that the amount of the loan has soared from 750,000 yuan in ten years to 1.250,000 yuan in ten years, which is equivalent to paying more than 10,000 yuan per month.
You should know that the monthly salary of an ordinary junior beastmaster in the market is only about 10,000 yuan.
Cai Ling's food is also a considerable expense. Even if it is the simplest, ice source crystals and fish meat will cost several thousand yuan a month.
What's more, Chen Wei doesn't want to treat his pet badly. Cai Ling is his treasure, so the cost will be even higher.
Thinking of this, Chen Wei's eyes sank slightly. The plan did not change quickly. The shortage of funds made him a little stressed. It seems that he will have to work hard to make money to support his family from tomorrow.
If he continues to concentrate on cultivating pets according to the original plan, he will probably starve to death.
Fortunately, he has been promoted to the third year of high school. The courses in the first and second years of high school are mainly to teach various knowledge of beast control. In the third year of high school, it is the practical summary of the courses in the first and second years of high school.
Except for the first two days of school, the school will not force senior high school students to go to the classroom for classes. Instead, the school will open the school's beast control facilities, allowing students to use the knowledge they have learned to flexibly cultivate their own pets, and even allow students to work during class time to earn money to cultivate pets.
It just so happens that Chen Wei can use the time of the senior year to cultivate Cai Ling and earn money to support his family.
…
Back in the apartment with a slightly shabby exterior wall, sitting on the bed, Chen Wei took out the rations given when the contract was signed from his schoolbag and couldn't wait to summon the little Cai Ling.
Just out of the star ring, the little Cai Ling, who was a little drowsy, stared at Chen Wei angrily, with big eyes full of anger, obviously unhappy with Chen Wei's behavior of disturbing its sleep.
Chen Wei's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "You can't always sleep, you still have to eat something."
Looking at the gentle but apologetic smile of the beastmaster, Xiao Cailing raised her head, wanting to express disdain, but found that she was still looking up at Chen Wei, so she shook her head unhappily and lay down to sleep, ignoring her beastmaster directly.
Chen Wei felt Xiao Cailing's displeasure and disregard, but thought that its arrogant look was very cute.
Shaking his head vigorously, Chen Wei smiled helplessly. This little guy is really, he won't use [Charm] on his own beastmaster, this charm is too foul.
"We are partners who will grow together in the future. If you listen to me, add one more massage every night."
Hearing the massage, Xiao Cailing opened her big eyes, looked back at Chen Wei, and called "Ya Ya Ya" a few times.
"A total of three times a day, no more." Chen Wei smiled dumbly, then gently stroked Cai Ling's head with his left hand and started tonight's [Dragon Power] massage.
After the little Cai Ling showed a comfortable expression, Chen Wei handed the secondary ice source crystal to its mouth and watched it eat slowly with a smile.
Now Chen Wei felt like he had raised a daughter, and felt that his heart was about to melt.
When Cai Ling absorbed almost all the energy, Chen Wei put it on the bed and let it rest for a while, then got up and fed some fish food to the eager little Jin in the fish tank.
Turning her head to look at the little Jin swimming flexibly in the fish tank, Cai Ling's mouth corners slightly raised, and then looked at Chen Wei and made a crisp sound: "Yi."
"That's not the food I prepared for you. It's your partner. You can't eat it. Absorb some source crystals first, and there will be meat tomorrow." Chen Wei gently reminded.
Hearing that her beastmaster said she couldn't eat it, Little Cai Ling suddenly felt bored and curled up the source crystals and went back to sleep.
Chen Wei took out his mobile phone, logged into the Beastmaster Mall app and browsed around, spending 5,000 star coins to place an order directly, buying 3kg of fresh fish and 1kg of secondary ice source crystals.
"These ingredients should be enough for Little Cai Ling to eat for the time being. After all, while using [Dragon Power] to speed up the growth of Cai Ling, we also need to supplement the corresponding nutrition. We can't do the same as the last experiment, which almost starved Xiao Jin to death." Chen Wei thought to himself.
If you want Cai Ling to keep up with the nutrition, it will cost a lot. In addition to the loan he still has, he has to think of a way to make money!
"It's a pity that Mr. Lin of the reservoir didn't let me go fishing, otherwise I could earn some extra money to relieve the pressure." Chen Wei thought regretfully.
With no other choice, Chen Wei had no choice but to open the recruitment software on his mobile phone, select a few pet shops near Jiangcheng District with decent salaries, submit his resume, and then began to familiarize himself with and practice the second-order source stars.
When the Source Star reaches the second level, you can contract a second pet beast. If you cultivate the strength of the pet beast to the second level, you can apply to the Beast Master Association to become an intermediate beast master.
It's just that Chen Wei has no idea of contracting a second pet beast yet. Soldiers value elites rather than many. At present, the most important thing is to cultivate the little Cailing well.
…
The next day, the high school beast control class started, and as usual, every student had to register again to report.
Entering the classroom of Grade 2 Beast Controlling Class 2, Chen Wei directly scanned the classroom looking for a suitable position, but found that there were many unfamiliar classmates.
At this time, the classroom was very noisy. Many students in the back seats were chatting excitedly. Some students even summoned their pet animals.
Chen Wei was not used to the noisy environment in the back row, so he directly found a quiet seat near the front row and sat there.
At this time, Lao Huang, who was blushing and thick-necked while arguing with his classmates in the crowd, accidentally saw Chen Wei, pointed his finger at Chen Wei, and said loudly: "I am really not bragging to you, the person who contracted with Han Jade Snake is Chen Wei. "
Lao Huang's voice attracted the attention of everyone in the classroom. Even Chen Wei, who was sitting in his chair full of ideas about making money, was awakened by Lao Huang's shout.
Chen Wei, who felt that he had become the focus of everyone's attention in the classroom, could only look back and smile awkwardly: "If there was no second person who successfully contracted with Han Jade Snake yesterday, then the person you are talking about should be me."
